1986 week 12 Jets at Dolphins

to see the game involved so sit back relax and enjoy Monday Night Football [Music] at six four and with great leaping ability soon makes the difficult look easy and after 11 games he was the league leader in reception on the other side is the game breaker Wensley Walker with 31 still comply with the best walk with spot 12 touchdown passes this year for in the Jeff 51:45 victory over Miami in September including the time TD and the winner in overtime [Music] when the chef's go to the run they can look the Freeman Mikael and Johnny Hector and wim healthy as he is once again McNeil is a dangerous slicing ball control runner the offense is awesome and it will have to be as the Jets look toward the playoff with the defense that has been decimated by injuries and tonight that defense will be tested by Miami Dolphin quarterback Dan Marino Marino tops League and yardage and touchdown with six of his 27 TDs coming against the Jets in their first meeting tonight live from Miami it's the Jets and the Miami Dolphins third down [Music] this time he rattled one inside the 15 [Music] cowboy show clips [Music] we're live from the Orange Bowl in Miami and a warm humid South Florida evening tonight the New York Jets with the best record in the NFL against the Miami Dolphin this ABC Sports exclusive is being brought to you by Miller Lite for great tastes a phony run right there by mercedes-benz engineers like no other car in the world by black & decker ideas at work by sinister no other watch Express the time has a beautifully hello again everyone I'm Frank Gifford welcome to a sold-out Orange Bowl in Miami is supercharged with excitement Miami Dolphin fans even though their team is 5 and 6 they are looking for an upset win over the Jets tonight we know about the Jets they are very explosive offensive team at their quarterback Kenna Brian rapidly developing into one of the game's best if not the best he has great outside receivers and Wesley Walker now tunas on the defense where they are troubled they have lost their entire defensive line into the night's game perhaps the key man Mark Gastineau who really wasn't playing that well until he injured his knee a couple of weeks ago because he had a groin problem he was not applying the pass pressure he has over the past couple of years the key man of course Joe Klecko they will be replaced tonight by these gentlemen well-known in New York but out of there I guess you could say they are back to the no-name defense they have played well as have many of the other players who have filled in for a much injured New York jet team there's a lot of excitement here in the Orange Bowl because it was a year ago we were here with Monday Night Football and the Chicago Bears came to town they were 12 and OH when they came here when they left they had lost their first game of the season 38 to 24 the Miami Dolphins team remembers that the fans remember that and out will never forget it and they are looking for it to happen once again lightning dude spike spike that's exactly what the fans are hopeful of we have an oddity here tonight Frank we're taking a look at one team that had the best record in the NFL in the Jets the other team the Dolphins are having a very disappointing season and yet the Jets are only slightly favored and in fact a lot of people in the know feel the Dolphins will win this game for a number of reasons one of those touched upon by Frank the missing three defensive lineman in addition to Jets are also missing Lance Mel who is out for the rest of the year the great linebacker you have the Chicago factor from last year and also what Marino did to the Jets offensively in New York and also what Moreno has been doing this season even though the Dolphins have had a lot of problems on defense in a non-existent rushing game Dan is having a typical Moreno season last week four touchdown passes against the Buffalo Bills and last Monday night you'll recall in the San Francisco Washington game we saw a Schrader in Montana throw a hundred passes nobody will be surprised if O'Brien and Moreno duplicate that feat tonight and a lot of points are rung up on the scoreboard in Miami so the Jets coming in hopeful of their tenth consecutive win and the Miami Dolphins are trying to get back up to the 500 mark as you look at O'Brien the Dolphins have not beaten the quality team this season they have five victories but they have taken care of Indianapolis twice Buffalo twice and Houston O'Brien having a great year and again a type of player who is somewhat quiet who is not particularly charismatic and really doesn't seek the attention unless he's a relative unknown for somebody who's putting up numbers like he has back deep to receive for the Jets Bobbie Humphrey number 48 and Jojo can himself number 83 why [Music] [Music] now she'll take at the 12-yard break away in his shop visit 23 and so O'Brien leading the Jets on O'Brien out of now Davis the University of California at Davis which is just west of Sacramento and the men with him Freeman McNeil and Tony in the backfield the great wide receivers soon and Walker and Schuler might have a big night if they double the outside man Queeny banker Fields is back off IR the former giant George became the offensive line [Music] brueski with Turner Mike Charles and little the three-man front resisting shift the rookie Offerdahl is probably their best defensive player and then the secondary highly suspect this year in particular Langford and Judson the corners Blackwood and Brown who was hurt last week footage back back Stacy we were in motion and again they keep it on the ground [Music] close to a first down to the 34-yard line now there's no question the dill Walton would like to come out and run the football if he can he likes to do that just purely on his own philosophy we saw now the two tight ends working rocky cleaver and Vicki Schuler it was cleaver in motion cracking back on the inside man and Mickey Schuler was releasing on the block not blocking it all moving downfield to work on the safety they would like to move it on the ground and keep it on the ground until the Dolphins adjust and then they can change off and go to those wide receivers run to walk right now and McNeil is coming off 100 for you in Indianapolis [Music] for a total of 14 yards it'll be second in seven as Mark Brown number 51 makes the stop and for Miami is just as tough to deal with the Jets they know with the Neal back and healthy once again coming off that game they're missing the four games with a dislocated elbow that they are in trouble either on the ground or in the air they would like to double cover on the outside Altoona Wesley Walker but when they do double cover that really weakens he run four can hurt them again while adjust or they [Music] at least trying to set up whatever it is is further down the line on the game plan and the Jeff perhaps now will go with the pass for the first time they're going to go with four wide receivers there is no Walt he calls all the plays has done that brilliantly this year he has also handled the offense brilliantly along with Richie Co tied a former teammate of his with the New York on four wives we see with the until Joe tanto dirt film showing how to knit was to walk oh boy recovering really a picture in there [Music] number 53 the reserve line back there was the man who forced O'Brien to throw and hurry Moran got rid of it but he paid the price 5 me the screen of a 53 this is what happens when you go with the four wide receivers puts the tight end into the pattern you do not have enough men to match up and it was David Frye he leveled O'Brien and he went out holding two ribs although he does appear to be alright fourth and three Prague LSU joined the team about a month ago stands back at the 15-yard line they Jennings whose main average is a lot better than in gross Park this year indicating a couple of things the ball is hanging form and the coverage of the special teams has been good New York Ellis misjudgment initially and then why with Marino coming out offensively damn not only a leading pastor this year but up among the leaders all time with Hampton and Bennett the running backs Cooper and Clayton the great wide receivers party the tight end and the line the man in the middle why Tina tchen is the big man the rest of the line basically this year is and a running game Rico [Music] Moreno going right against Russell Carter who missed last week with a pulled hamstring now there is no question what the dolphins are going to do they throw the football primarily because they can't run the football they have not had a hundred yard rushing game from a back in 40 games into the night and that's just incredible I think the nearest team to that is 19 a look at the defense makeshift out it is Kyle Clifton in fact Frank is the only jet defensive player to start all 11 games with a story today that says three that's incorrect just one only Clifton has started all the games for New York on defense stop by five and it will be third down and five they will throw the run out too occasionally they have to keep it honest but their game is the pass game and they are extraordinary when they put the ball in the air because quite frankly Dan Marino is one of the quickest release ever to come into this game adopt the dolphins have appeared on Monday night more than any other team in the NFL and as you can see they've a great success if actually here third and five [Music] merino fire that floor was full down by Harry Hamilton that floor and his 13th year he complements the outside receivers super and Clayton who in all probability will be getting double coverage all night long meanwhile you turn on that more loose and the 13-year veteran works around finds a little zone and as you can see they're trying to cover him from the inside with the linebacker or will be soon as he did then and he gets the first down [Music] to the 42 yard line one of the injured kids bright beard Joe Klecko in uniform but highly doubtful will see him probably missed had more than any other defensive man they've lost last male we didn't touch him on it on him at the very beginning but last male kind of a leader on the defense even past a ghost unit and Klecko witty the spirit of this defensive team a great football player and they could very well have him back in a couple of weeks second and five from the 43 yard line [Music] the feeling seems to be frank that Hampton is a pretty good back at Miami in the future can utilize Lorenzo Hampton the problem basically the standpoint in the running game has been the blocking up front their offensive line has been shuffled around all year long they have two players on it really Stephenson and Foster and the rest of it has been kind of makeshift and fill in all year long Larry Lee over the right side he was free agent Drake it took three agents in Green Bay ethers just back off a knee injury from a year ago so at the very least that is still hurting and as a suffered on [Music] there's only the second rushing touchdown given up by the Jets this season and this against the number one and he fence against the run suggest have that Hampton found a great hole on the outside that play was he trying to go up the middle behind white Stevenson and foster nothing was there he broke it off to the last big opening [Music] there was no one home after he got by the line of scrimmage puts it through and of course the number one defense that was developed over season that included pleco and Gaston Oh and Marty Lyons let's look at it again it was designed to go right up the gut there it is and Hampton reads it out to the outside and he is off on a full sprint and of course with everyone up there on the short yardage there was no one in the secondary the linebacker fulfilled the gap easy touchdown for Miami and a surprising fashion he on top by a score of 7 54 yards Miami consumers have his cookie my identity to be in first and ten from the 20 as you look at Marty Lyon who's on IR easier clecos in uniform but doubtful as far as playing is concerned and Gastineau is is not in Miami and the Jeff scheme of defense they would have been at a four down line that right side against third down and four Guardians was not there perhaps even more important in quick though was not there because he fills everything tackle the tackle and consequently the mouth and were able to do with no one expected them to do them certainly most of all that just defensive the team [Music] to the 30-yard line burst in fan New York you saw Joe fields leading that it was a little more than a swing it was a screen out in front of Don Shula who has to be suffering with a five and six record into tonight he has only had one losing season and is 24 years of the head coach 17 of them here at my but you saw still feels he has returned tonight he is the center he has officially had offensive line for the jet stove cooking pasta for the jet at least when they turn up dough feel pretty good job filling in and a lot of praise planted to yorkers i hardly have to tell those of you familiar with either New York or Miami and a lot of transplanted New Yorkers a lot of vacationing New Yorkers unless we hear tun tun and also get a penalty that's gonna negate the play illegal procedure against the Jets Gary Siemens the referee tonight now we could read the lips for at least a legal motion right silent movie and we even colorized it first and 15 to the 25-yard line [Music] the Asaf I'm Mike Charles number 71 who's had a bizarre season Mike Charles the nose tackle had a weight problem early on they sent him to a dietician he missed some practices they wanted her to take a drug test and he didn't so they suspended him and brought a back plate against the 49ers hurt his groin went on injured reserve see back in the Houston Davis work habits but if he ever puts it all together he'd be very helpful in the middle for them going big shoes [Music] 14 and over the middle and wide open is McNeil down after the 43-yard line they told us he was much healthier than he had been he dislocated that elbow back in the first week of the season and nobody has the quick cut like McNeil maybe he does not have the sustain long speed but O'Brien is trying to go deep they had the check off man good set up on the pass play McNeil was there looking O'Brien right in the eye look at that move right there as he breaks away from the linebacker gets away from opera doll and more importantly though for the first down is sliced forward and gets it now Hector is in the game Johnny Hector 34 and he fares [Music] and Bulls his way out of the 47 and when they write the chapter in Jets history entitled 1986 he'll fill a lot of pages Frank the job he's done and relief of freamon McNeil oh yes man McNeil was injured in that first week of the season we mentioned a moment ago he came on at a couple of 100-yard games and filled in more than you would expect although when he came out four years ago he played a lot then you could see a lot of promise this has been an exceptional year thus far for Hector [Music] ahead seven to nothing to make the kids and nice play by Walker's to adjustment after the fake reverse as they had sent fooled in motion safety film pressure was foot on O'Brien causing the short throw but the completion in the 30 yard game and William Judson was man for men against Walker and exactly run out the fake reverse close Judson for just a moment even though it was underthrown is much easier for a receiver have got by a defender now you see Jetson has to run full stride because he knows that he is being outsprinted by Walker and when he checks up it's too late Walker come back and get the ball down at the 23-yard line [Music] it's about 5 5 18 to play first quarter and here's a guy who is no stranger at the armpit ball in civvies tonight and he's given the fans their cheer drills Heisman Trophy winner I'm sure going away a couple of weeks final game coming up at least before what could be a showdown with a national championship will be 3rd the they go against East Carolina a remarkable season for this young man Testaverde second and four from a 17-yard line Hector Lavoe football semen taking a peek it does bunch of doesn't yeah both officials neither has given a signal yet the only systems have come from the dolphin very first angel hook we believe mark brown 51 is the man as the handoff going to Johnny Hector tried to reverse the field and he was just hammered and hit hard you see the ball between his legs it with Mike Charles who put the hit on Hector and it was Mark Brown it comes up with the first turnover tonight and the Dolphins get it back at their own 16 yard line so the Miami Dolphins and Mark Brown and there's a look at Mike Charles Brown recovering and Charles who's the man who they've been hit one person had from a 16 [Music] 23 the corrector that time put on by Charles Jackson and Hardee's a guy who when the receivers the wideouts recovered he'll figure very prominently as was the case last week against Buffalo and we talked at the troubles they the Jets have on the defensive line they have also lost lamp smell for the season with major knee problems Rupp T Guilbeau came back his last week he is on the outside Bob Crapo who had been there moved to the inside so they are in a period of judgment at the line for for and it's Hansen 26 yard line and the third and one upcoming and so had a terrible time running the football this season now back in Hampton a 54 yard run as you can see the long it's the history ker and the longest by a dolphin in six years yeah they came into tonight as the team at the worst record rushing the ball in the league they were 28th and last they went against the Jets team and so far they've been able to move the ball on the ground rather well that is rated number one after 11 games against the run game it goes in motion to the the six 330 pounds second year ban out of Louisville first it's an amazing Frank the 28th and rushing their first and pantsing and their first and total offense to show you how fabulous their fashion game has been good leave blocked by woody Bennett and again the surprising is happening at least early in the game tonight the two explosive wide receivers Clayton and duper relatively quiet thus far but that can't be long and coming because they are having great years they're now blanked out all over the dock now goes in motion to the same side is duper and marina will go to the right side last Sunday against Buffalo Lester Lau's makes it back on Stephens Mike is working - 26 to go in a rapid first period then again it's illegal procedure against Miami Moreno wants to know what for illegal formation let's see they move a lot of people around and often you don't have enough men at the line of scrimmage or the wrong people at the line of scrimmage or too many of them could be in each seven the illegal formation only six men on the line of scrimmage still first down that was it extra guy dolphin's it's funny they're having a disappointing year at five and six and yet again it's a school of coach team now look at this yeah in America Jets the best record in the league and the most penalties what a correlation huh up until last year the dolphin took on nine straight years they were the least penalized team in the game and then last year the Washington Redskins edge to err on track once again however now we've got it worked out rap [Music] there was no infraction on the play must've been a replay somebody had to be counting which is becoming a Monday night prediction I'd be interested to know if there was a screening of that by Jack reader who was in charge of the replays tonight so in any event no flag after all of that and his second down and three Miami from its 36 to tend to go first period dolphins on top [Music] really developed and he gets only out of a 39 yard line behind Foster and Larry Lee they've got themselves back into a third and about one maybe a little less than one and urban times over the past couple of years these merino years you might call it a merino era and they have put the ball in the air even here been successful earlier the night on a third and one and they used the big man Ron Davenport and Davenport is in there again he said one carry and it was moments ago for a first down on a third destroyed in court number 30 [Music] Cooper's it but it means they're going to have to kick so Stephenson and Murray know the unlikely combination creating a fumble is pulling away from the center I don't know whether to step down or not it could have been Stevenson stepping back for the drive block Moreno to pull away and COFF up the ball which he quickly covers and it brings out one of these games better hunters as Kurt's own drives back Reggie Roby a couple years ago looked like he'd be all world but he had the badge Super Bowl against let's go here in 86 old vintage Robi Sanchez taken at the 12 yard line and a decent run back by Kurt stone as he goes out of bounds at the 26 with 41 seconds to play in the period so the Jets will take over after a 50-yard Roby booed in the waning seconds of the first quarter the 45 overtime game they were the numbers for O'Brien 479 gross and then he was sacked for 30 yards the 449 net the net yardage in that Dean for the with 884 yards or a little bit more than a half mile first and ten from the 26 is a Brian throws the McNeil first down he gets to the 40 games where demon Harford all 56 the good-looking rookie at a Western Michigan who's had a bad elbow and miss last week's game makes the stop [Music] rookie John offer doll has played so well miss last week's game however up in Buffalo because of a severely bruised my forearm and that's Clayton cooling off on a very humid night here Miami degrees coming in for the start of the game a 39-yard line was walker and more [Music] to the 42 so it's been a rapidly moving first grade and a game had figured to take a long long time aerial fireworks that they stayed on the ground we go to the second quarter with Miami wait in the Jets seven to nothing ABC Sports exclusive and brought to you by Hughie Cunha Buick dealers for traditional comfort for technical innovation and four-wheel commitment to quality come to Buick where better really matters second quarter at the Orange Bowl in Miami now Michael is with Frank Gifford funny last Monday night we had that marathon game in Washington the third quarter that Knights of 57 minutes the first quarter tonigh here took 30 minutes [Music] No for sure good effort by Shirley to get out of hands above ground whoo right in front of the antenna receiver through the pass you won't see O'Brien throw very often he stays in that pocket longer than most quarterbacks wait for it to develop in their shooters pulled on the right arm of brown got the ball out of there and saved the interception and it puts so Brown definitely in the casting mold he's got the two wide receivers to the top of the Train Walker ensuing surely for 130 handy for a first down Walker it is sincere and having a brilliant season offensive line again giving ken O'Brien plenty of time to throw the football and he'll take all you'll give him now O'Brien has to wait a long time here Walker fights upfield working hard against Paul Lang for making him think he's going to go deep plan set left foot breaks into the slide 9 now this has taken a lot of time and credit the time that O'Brien got on that to Dan rata Kovac who was brought in to coach that offensive line this year to do one thing keep ken O'Brien he was sacked 62 times for a league record a year ago to give him more time [Music] while Brian sliding a football and gives it back at the 16 so Brown who missed an interception moments ago hits one fumble but maintains possession is Miami handsome football O'Brien was trying to get it to Walker but Brown was doubling up on altoon over to O'Brien's left he never saw Brown as he fell off tune a step right in front of Walker made the interception then he loses it but he does recover and again the Dolphins get a turnover and they'll have the football inside their own 15 total yards / Lorenzo Hampton on a third and shortly first to four we have a 7-eleven late Morgause in motion animation can fight his way out see yard line it'll be second down and seven but round giving [Music] fall back but Lankford also out of the secondary being worked on on the sidelines the second day of the Dolphins they have been much maligned this year Justin over in one corner Langford on the other but when you don't get any pass pressure whatsoever and the Dolphins into tonight with 24 sacks only 9 interceptions latest are not pressuring the passer they've been unable to get there they lost to Greene early in the [Music] his own third one in San Marino he wanted to get his office set he likes to change off as does his counterpart gen O'Brien and he was running out of time on the 30-second clock he wanted him to get set so he could look it over and perhaps change the play and by the time that offensive line was set he had to go with the play had called in the huddle because it was too late to change dancing 25 yards shy of a hundred the Dolphins have not had a hundred-yard game by a running back since 84 when Joe Carter did it [Music] completely [Music] and he gets the first down and good pass protection for Marino that's what the Dolphins really concentrate on they protect the quarterback Dan Marino he has a quick release as you saw there he looked to the peak to was outside you see for he was covered so he throws underneath but they are 28 running the football they run up surprisingly well tonight but the reason one of the reasons is that they work principally on ass walking to protect our we know [Music] [Music] Rocko Brian Moreno looks for the man who's single covered and he guessed that time he got the matchup Clayton working against Jerry Holmes and again he had a lot of time to throw the ball would take a look it was black blocking or the little play-action fake to number 34 would he been at the jet for bringing linebacker Charles Jackson that meant there was single coverage and here was the single coverage home against Clayton home had to respect the speed of Clayton going deep consequently Clayton was wide open for another first down Moreno is shipped for his first seven 457 yards territory and instead of a bunch at the 49-yard line the second to me with eleven and a half minutes to play in the hand miami continually continuing to run relatively successfully against the Jets that time they worked on the left side where they have been doing a lot of work tonight smell is out of the lineup hoping that side with an injured knee rusty Gilboa just come back off injured reserved but again the Jets are going without pleco Marty Lyons Mark Gastineau that would be their front three were they healthy second and eight from the 49 yard line [Music] four catches tonight for hearty who's caught 38 this season again must watch the blocking because sometimes a spectacular fireworks you see downfield they're ignited right here great work in the middle of white Stevens in number 57 giving marina all the time he needed coming off the line of scrimmage Bruce Hardy who can run another quickly and he makes a good cut into the pattern just for trying to cover him with the linebacker Clifton is tough duty first and ten Miami at the Jets 40-yard line dolphins ahead seven and picks up about five more sort of repetition of the game against Chicago last year Marino out of the pocket ball over and finding his receivers and leaving Miami to the victory and the Jets again having a hard time putting pressure on a quarterback that has been their problem and it's been aggravated with additional loss of taco was co-leader and Sachs of course Gastineau was hurt early in the year at a full join he never was the gas to know that we had known in previous years fillet have really suffered in pushing a passer and it is her team in here tonight it really balances her davin point we carry for the 32 yard line and it will be third down and two I guess this is one of those games when you look at it on paper beforehand you figured nothing but pants pants pants pants pants so the offense figuring the defense is thinking that figures well we'll keep math unofficial by running the courts but you'd have to think about you mentioned it earlier the previous game they passed for the two quarterbacks passed for a half a mile right now it's a very conservative type game is a look at pro football the day they sprinkle the pass in with the run so to speak and consequently is a rapidly moving game bird and seal Miami Miami has to take it timeout prior to a surgeon - at the 32-yard line as the Reno comes over to the side with age 51 to go in the first test and he's not happy about having to take the time out this traffic is the Dan Marino has done this in four years is six four hundred yard games he had one a week ago against Buffalo of course he has I want to get the Jets September the 21st it took Dan Fouts but of the 14 years in Sonny Jurgensen I guessed a couple of decades between Philadelphia and Washington Redskins Moreno is fortunate enough that you reporter back I will say that because he came to a team that had to start putting the ball in the air and keeping it in the air of those four hundred yard games he's won four and lost here remember last week we saw Montana throw for over 400 yards and lose the with Davenport and he 26 yard line Hansen is the man and we talked about it before the blocking is basically they're pretty happy with Hampton and consider him the eventual successor to Tony Nathan who's been there each running back for so long fascinating thus far the Miami Dolphins are doing what they are not supposed to be able to do and the Jets are giving up what they shouldn't give up coming into the night number one against the rush in the NFL and the Dolphins with their offense 28 rushing the game first out of Miami at these 27 the soul back takes it to the twenty one time tonight stick around because we're going to talk to Mike Ditka we're going to talk not only about the beers but as I'm sure almost all of you are aware and we'll have Mike live from Chicago talking about the hip yesterday that it puts Jim McMahon out for a while The Late Late Late hit by Charles Martin almost the next afternoon so thought to Ditka and Anton second and along for 22 we know going to play for the 11 Jannetty hold for safety that's the wild compound of the first day way off dancer mayor down deep and deaf territory you have to play them tight there a wild rain way off getting there very late Bob when he misses the tamper right they're sliding away and Dan Johnson it boils down to the one-yard line and Moreno has now completed ten pages in a row he's ten of 11th and 97 yards first and goal with the one [Music] as offenses even all eight the Dolphins surprising the death here comes Hampton from about the three yard line he takes it over the top it's a little assistance falls into the end zone moving the ball not only in the ground but also in the air but you can move it on the ground you are going to move it in the air [Music] 27 to go in the first man for the dolphin to look anything like a team that's five and six and Gary seaman now with a penalty marker that's the point of good I'm not succeeding takeoff and the shul and just watched his team drive down the field system 12 plays to get in and the dolphin is leading by two touchdowns with six 27 to go in the half say goodbye she was a 45 [Music] Liyana season Miami on top and that's why they've been pants or event worth [Music] Townsel to the 17th crowd has really fired up Orange Bowl is sold-out and our affiliates in Miami beats purchases the remaining tickets to enable this team to be shown in South Florida Monday nights often having an off year as you look at the numbers on the scoring drive so the dolphin emotionally fired up for the game and for the Jets Frank a team with a long winning streak but a very very tough schedule becomes you want to get in the door how into the game they can be week after week friends and 49ers coming up for them and hey the 21 to do and that is run the football well they then put it up there and he takes you to the 30 and he's on fire for all first and ten well to Candlestick Park next Monday 9:00 Eastern and six o'clock on the coast and that's a good one as the Giants with a mark of panic to and on top along with Washington in the NFC against the 49ers who are involved in that battle in the NFC West with the Rams and a giant victory in that would clinch at least a wild-card for them and of course the 49ers are with importuning points and the lands out there there was enormous time and Walker makes the catch at the dolphin 44 time in getting time and aligned at his job and William Judson provided the coverage on the play but it was Walker who got loose for a first down O'Brien does that so well sliding out to the right side looking downfield and Wesley Walker still has the speed but he also has the savvy to get into some sort of a passing plane for O'Brien when he gets out of that pocket and consequently the Jets get a first down inside the 45 allow me person saying you're 43 yard line and they keep it on the ground for a gain of a master India staff I'm Mark Braud the fourth-year linebacker from Purdue so Walden speaks only in superlatives at this quarterback ken O'Brien who came up relatively anonymously four years [Music] right he's totally unflappable cafes man he gets right up in there beats you on the next play he has nothing but admiration he feels that he is the best quarterback in the game today and say that for you second and eight if you look back in history was that the play we fall they're down Harry Hamilton and he wears that stocking like thing over his head because of what we saw take place in week 2 against New England Frank a spud Carson the defensive coordinator right in the middle of that group and he has done a tremendous job coming in last year and getting the Jets out of their old for three changing over to a three for goats of Steelers to a couple of Super Bowl back in the late seventies anyone out to the Rams did a fine job with them Jill Walton brought him in last year and he's done a superb job but he has a lot of people missing tonight [Music] and you could see I think you sweetie and O'Brien pays the play price anyway just to follow up on that Hamilton situation if you didn't see the game in the second week Hamilton suffered a forehead - hospitalized five back to the 46 yard line I will be third down and 13 now Queenie is the man who was he's the left eye from a year ago we found a home out there to say left ankle because bankers the left guard and O'Brien go [Music] by right who is the most anonymous of the defensive backs the second year man out of the University of Texas El Paso but a marker again who should be holding with that marker fell there was a blitz on O'Brien tried to get a deep that took too much time that's what happens when you try to block for any length of time banker is demand and must with 409 the penalty decrying forcing a fourth down punt for New York dolphins on top 14-nothing the Jets have been phenomenal this year in the second quarter the Jets have outscored their opponents a hundred 15 to 26 in the second quarter the season as Prairie Gillis tonight it's in Miami with the only points of Thor in Korea too [Music] and hanging kicking a bear attack nice move but Len blacklist doesn't pay the price for it and it turns out because he remembers it one of those plays where you don't know what you want to do it you want to let it bounce and maybe go out of bounds or a touch connect for just one then Blackwood comes up and he does believe in miracles after that fell over [Music] 59 remaining in the first half Al Michaels and Frank different with you from Miami warm night temperature kickoff was a meaty it was up in the mid 80s and bright sunshine today in Miami and humid and a dolphin's ah stop it hot as the weather 14-nothing fans enjoying it too they recall over a year ago in less than a year ago okay the Bears came in here portent although they left 15 of 4824 and al from the stands tonight thanks to our affiliates here and in West Palm Beach are out a number they're looking for another upset they've got one working [Music] 9 yard line as the clock begins to move down and looking ahead the Dolphins have two timeouts remaining in this half 3:45 remaining [Music] now fazenda chula don't really feel that they are totally out of it and mathematically they are still alive for a playoff spot into tonight through five and six but they have to consider the AFC tempo of Cincinnati's leaving at 8 for the AFC West into 9 3 la 8 and for Kansas City 7 5 saddled 6 6 they are mathematically alive [Music] the first we know the thousands who throw the football that is the name of the game but they were running the ball earlier in the game and they can throw it ever so much better when you can move it just a little bit on the ground the defense has got to consider run as well as pass and when you can't move it at all you totally disregard the run and it makes it that much more difficult to pass the dolphins were putting it together tonight and they don't do that very often Marino has now completed 11 passes in a row first intention [Music] one man and then get blown out of bound by Charles Jackson then Rudolph really popped Hampton the Lannisters and it's against the Jets for a personal foul with 221 to go I think the Dolphins and on ciliary content to work run out the clock down there they're getting insistent and they go for a while [Music] Perry Hamilton now the Dolphins can start thinking about more points take a look at Rudolph he really popped Hampton right there as he runs right into his old man Larry Rudolph gets to the outside and being taken out of bounds and then the hip comes in just a little aid or extra curricular activity by Perry Hamilton very close call but again these dolphins an airy filled area where they can start to consider looking for more points and Tony Nathan comes in the game [Music] an overshoot going deep in Leicester lioness it's there it'll be second down and ten 2:04 to play in the hand so they'll get a free timeout in four seconds Davenport checked in for the Dolphins and with Hardy running a deep pattern downfield they also bring in Dan Johnson at the tight end coming up at half-time our halftime reports from ABC News of also local news in your area and then we'll talk with Mike Ditka live in Chicago to Davenport he gets to the 37 and that takes us to the two-minute warning posthaste and again this about an hour old the two-minute warning comes officially at 159 dolphin 14 jet ship [Music] 1:59 to play in the first half 40 nothing Miami and upcoming now third and five at the 38 yard line and the Dolphins have two timeouts remaining fine job neighbor the dolphin they lost 51:45 September the 21st that that is also when the Jets had Mark Gastineau Lee had Klecko they had Marty Lyons he at last fell so they felt very confident coming into tonight will sever those defensive players out it has even a much better shot and particularly here at home where they have played so well over the years [Music] it's black sleep at the 45-yard line across the middle and underneath and Carl Howard makes the tackle and Clayton has been shaken up Moreno is trying to get it for the line of scrimmage trying to go without a huddle conserving time because he has used one timeout unable to do so because Hindu player is Mark Clayton and in this situation this is a charge that timeout to Miami with the injured player under 2-minutes look at it from the reverse angle Moreno finding the wide open Clayton Downey goes hit by Karl Howard there it was back in the prevent defense secondary for the cadets so they work on them and it will be first down but Miami is charged with a timeout under these circumstances sit down to one ethnic gonna Connie who at halftime will be here with the son mark bono Connie who of course was paralyzed in a football injury a year ago playing for Citadel has been at the forefront along with his teammate dick Anderson in a project called the Miami project to raise funds to fund [Music] presented in honor of mark Zbornak Connie for research against paralysis at halftime and there is the Sun marcona Connie who has made such tremendous progress he was what's that football name a little over a year ago he has made tremendous progress and he remains confident that there can be some cure for paralysis and he is inspiring not only tremendous funds to be directed that way towards research but he is also a living inspiration himself some young man a shotgun [Music] [Music] the two marks do this all the time they are always around the ball they seem to always get the deflection they take it away from the defender the little people on the outside they're both five nine but they're plays ho tall firing it in there is Moreno he's so confident he can get it in there he tried to get it in over Bobbie Humphrey he deflected it goes up in the air and comes right down in the hands of plate call it luck call it whatever you want they'd rather super and the two marks always seem to be their intention is in the game and that he in the slot to the left running back whoo and Russell through the course of the rookie from Cal State Fullerton a good receiver perhaps a plate man duper worn around you hid more about it areas again working against the Russell Carter Carter was beaten earlier by Clayton on this very same fly pattern he senses it he sees Pruett looking back to the ball he just goes up high it was a very early jump through it losing a bit of concentration in the collision with some folk artists just could not keep the concentration second and ten shotgun at the 38 dolphins ahead 14 nothing wide open duper at the 19-yard line SuperDuper moved from deep in their own territory they've got themselves in position already for a field goal marina with a little more than one minute remaining in the clock ticking away they'll go without the huddle and without sweet and who's in the locker room right now TV and a flag is down inside the 5-yard line there was a collision between the gym and often receiver and the two flags down 52 seconds against the debt tell us jury well men on the field defense the bad defense Clementi team the so many variations of a prevent defense it does have many of them and they wound up with too many men on the field and the changes it feel first and five is top two o'clock with 52 seconds no flag incomplete David Perdue fern again Moreno is - Clayton which is the reason tension is in there as one of the receivers of the situation that was Jim Stuckey he was right in Marino's face to have picked up as a free agent I've been with the 49ers over the past few years and had played for them a great deal started for them for a while he came in without anyone in front of him and just through the timing we know off and he couldn't get it into that boy second and five 48 seconds remaining in the half 14-nothing Miami and the dolphins with one timeout that their disposal Moreno fires over the middle of the 7-yard line and the catch is made by Tony Nathan and they can't afford to take the time out here so up they come and they'll put it in the air and abrino cannot find the receiver he'll kill a clock with the incompletion box ticking down to 23 [Music] the goal line [Music] and they do it's kind of a bizarre way for this first hand to aim in terms of time outs they hesitate and early when Moreno came up on a third zoo and they didn't have the right people in the game take their second time because Tracy was injured and has used to be a charger [Music] Servais is warming up to the sidelines but Don Shula has a lot of confidence in the quarterback Dan Marino he has 15 seconds on the clock he can let him call it a couple of times you know have to be in the end zone otherwise you might have your receiver pull down and the clock continue to run and you couldn't get you field goal Toula a lot of confidence in that would not fill the intersection that John struck with the cap on there he has been a great help in the development of dan Marino has been around 13 years and has worked very closely with Marino they had become great friends great golfing pal and a final word and a look as though it was directed at Armstrong so nowadays second down goal there's 15 seconds and nary a timeout from the to 14 nothing Miami in a game in which the Jets despite the best mark in the NFL were only slightly favored over a theme is 5 & 6 the quality fall martina puts out the tight-end goes right to the left with more now he comes back in motion down here the line of scrimmage by rusty kill Bowl the linebacker not quite sure the play-action fake the Jets weren't buying that at all they know full well the Dolphins are not going to run any kind of a play because they would not be able to get the field goal either onto the field and a strange golf doing as much as the ball with the guys into the end zone you complete the pass you run the rest you having the man tackled and that's the end of the hand now you've got to pass it into the end zone that's good event it is after at least in terms of three points the Dolphins however well in command meeting 14 to nothing surprisingly here with that much remaining here in the first half [Music] intercepted the DiMarco Saturday in five seconds communicating with holding against the debts Anatoli and now it'll go to the one-yard line in Marino taking the moment while they marked it off to go to the bench [Music] Deary homes you have to play the receiver so close down there inside the 5-yard line you have to be right on top of them very home probably lost one had to grab the receiver trying to avoid the touchdown and for the 14 to nothing lead at five seconds remaining we could see most anything the dolphin been running the ball well they are confident I think in the running game a big man has always been over thirty Davenport down in the post if they do decide to run Hansen goes in motion bacon [Music] for the daughter they had to consider Davenport he is the man they always used down close play-action you'll see it Moreno puts it in there under 30,000 court fine Hampton fires it out of the flat and Vinson just could not get there in time touchdown super call they had the respect to play the running play just enough for me to get into the enzyme this first half perfect scoring on three of their four possessions the defense the much-maligned defense the defense that went to the no-name defense to the nose events pitching the shutout through 30 minutes there's Joe Klecko they expect to have him back in a couple of weeks any problem the kind of player is totally dedicated this game already working out and working out a couple of days after they damaged a knee and there is Marty lyin shoulder problem they should have have him back in about three weeks and a sprained shoulder and these are the people that they met let go and Gastineau emission microscopic knee surgery he could be back for the playoffs meanwhile enhance time for you we'll mention it again we will be speaking live with that man Mike Ditka in Chicago and we'll talk about the Bears who won again yesterday pulling one out over Green Bay a mark of tennis shoe and also the Jim McMahon incident and the follow-up to that which we'll be hearing I'm sure quite a bit about over the ensuing days as the league looks into it dancing - here with Mike has in mind down the line with the injured once again [Music] reveille to kick off on the final play of the first half barring a penalty a brief moment in the Sun Miami but this fire hassle to the dolphin and they're much the line stuck suddenly the defensive coordinator who's taken so much heat this year begins the dolphins have been giving up yardage and touchdowns in abundance and his he sent they go now Anna Michaels and Frank effort at the Orange Bowl in Miami after a perfect first half of the dolphin and they'll get the footballs we saw in the second half Pat Leahy so first appearing tonight in a kickoff roll and Boots wonder the 30 number 33 Craig Ellis from the one and he takes it back out to the 15-yard line and the Dolphins will start deep in their own territory and Dan Marino good ham 165 and the only missed 517 of 22 the one touchdown pass to Lorenzo Hampton he leads him out and it begins with a back field that has woody Bennett number 34 in it and Lorenzo Hanson number 27 the key thing for the Dolphins they were able to run the football and they are passing team but when you can run the football you can pass even better but just something to think run rather than strictly pass so the Dolphins are only had a now an injury-riddled gift table after you rise up he goes going to get back in this game twenty thirty with Larkin he's got super out so lazy boys game over of 84 Joe Carter was the guy what a night for Lorenzo Hampton and what a night for the offensive line they protected Marino and they've created holes although this was a Lorenzo Hampton effort he sets back against the grain and puts the pressure on Jerry Holmes who played it like he had to he had to play off Cooper until he got a little bit of help otherwise Hampton might have gone the distance as he did in the first quarter when he went 54 yards but a first down inside the jet 45 yard line Hampton now 125 yards on 13 carries and Tony nathan is in the game Marina it's a fear in school coming up I mean folks that Hall of Fame interference it was unnecessary as dairy Holmes was man-for-man on Cooper Cooper was going to give him a little look to the outside and then turn it on and meanwhile marina was under pressure he had already thrown the ball and well if you're going to interfere you may as well run home did because he knew he was dead he did not realize what was going on at the line of scrimmage however when Moreno hazard released have all that ball of totally untouchable no choice really for homes even be for TV or at least he thought he was before TV right now marina was under pressure he had to release the ball he's released it already Gary hold where what was going on in the Dolphins background really lassoed super duper is doing his number in this a still - Clayton and will try to get a report he had a shoulder x-rayed and they give it to the fullback woody finished he flies down at the 22 Frank something on me and we don't want to make a big issue of the dolphin's playoff chances because they're very very slight but still mathematically they do have a shot and who knows the way they playing tonight with renewed confidence and renewed vigor and a few breaks down the way the set of the Atlanta line will be tough doors is coming on they're still alive out of the NFC West then there are Los Angeles they closed on Monday night we'll be here for the New England Patriots December the 22nd tough schedule for them but tonight they have put it together ready for the first time this year more importantly with receivers were reading with it that more picked it up as quickly as he did it was a safety clip Moreno knew he was going to get individual coverage on his outside people that more reddit with him and it was beautifully executed it was a free man coming in on Moreno but he backed away he had the quick arm he could release the ball even while he was going back an addition and the morale for the pitch point all of their drives have been a lengthier field more strongholds surveys kicks and the Dolphins look like the Dolphins of 72 we do the ball you were doing something right and the dolphins are doing everything right that time the Jets collected list when their opposition gets inside their 20-yard line brought the safety blitz and Marino has picked it up right here as a man in his face but even backwards he's able to flip it with enough strength to get it to that boy who dreads with him great coordination between Moore and this is a shocker came to the top in June 1974 came down the road from Gainesville another Florida Gator thirteen good seasons here all of the points remaining boy by Peter [Music] into the end zone two yards back his run back is 28 yards to the 26 yard line and the Jets will take over at that's fine right now so much for the Jets game plan they came in they wanted to run the football they wanted to control the game at Freeman a healthy again and Donnie heck they're running so well in relief of McNeal over the weeks that's history now and O'Brien's gonna have to put it up they are 28 points down and one - now humiliating on the verge of a humiliating defeat ken O'Brien is going to have to think deep he's gonna have to think Altoona and Westby Walker this outfit however know that while they're not a song path Russian team they know what's expected from a 26 yard line by O'Brien unloading it and the pressure put on by George little number 99 so what do you do if you have the Dolphins defense their defensive coordinator I'm sure is talk with him as we look at an injured jet down on the field that is a John Feeny we often see left tackle here than just a terrific job to moving out there from left guard and again the Alpen just going to turn a loose now I think nothing but fast because they know that's what they're going to get that is that's Ted banker who is the injured man 2015 three bankers number 63 bankers and Frank in light of what we're seeing here and what we just showed you at halftime you notice the other day a big insurance firm in Massachusetts that has been insuring athletes I said they are getting out of that business I talked earlier today was a man by the name of Brian burns who is the American correspondent for Lloyds of London he's the man who's written deals for Jim McMahon and for Joe Montana Eric Dickerson and Billy Sims in the past and Jack Lambert and they are going to take a long hard look at ensuring players against further injury especially in light of the fact that some of the injuries as was the case yesterday are occurring in situations that are not remotely indigenous to the game of football and I think you'll see even beyond that the NFL of course will take corrective action against what happened yesterday against McMahon Martin of Green Bay but I think you're going to see the Players Association headed by Gene Upshaw the president of the Players Association also getting into this and this game starts to lose major people and lose them to severe injuries you're going to have injuries there's a rough tough game but when you start to lose them and particularly in a deliberate fashion we're not talking through the injury the tech banker here at the moment we're talking about the injuries that are taking place more and more frequently and more and more because of the intent and I think you're going to see the Players Association which is a very strong association of the gene Upshaw get involved in a control banker comes off under his own power he had been until this past week backed up by Phil Bain the longtime offensive lineman but when field was reactivated [Music] it was Bain who was taught second and ten over the middle and a quiet man brings it out to the 40-yard line they held him and talked about athletic ability and while he's being held in check tonight this is a remarkable young athlete he's 64 205 pounds he can catch the ball but he does amazing things when he gets to football look against jetson now Jepsen is all over - has him short of the first down soon maintained his balance and gets the first down when you gave him absolutely no shock Caputo first and 10 from the 40 and McNeil every section to the 46 yard line feeling still bothered by the neutral-tinted elbow he had been a fumbling throughout his career and he having trouble completing a season and sure enough in Game two the injury and that might be responsible for a couple of the fumbles he had last week but male is the kind of fact was going to fumble he's struggling his eyes paddling trying to get the extra yard he hates pads he hates any kind of bracelet he doesn't even wear anything but a foul on that dislocated elbow or the total dissipated before second in Florida fans complete Leslie Walker's was out of bounds and has a first down at the 42 yard line Leslee Walker who fought for textile advances against Miami he's had some of his greatest days see the years against the dolphin we go back Walker has played 16 games in his career against Miami and that's a good barometer as you look at the total yardage in the Davy a 16 game equals a full season and he's caught 14 touchdown passes in those game first down Nikhil to the outside 2:33 Williams Duchy made the initial head this is what Joe Walton wanted to do at the very beginning of the game used McNeal control the ball on the ground but when you are down by 28 points it's relatively easy to do this because the Dolphins are thinking and rightfully so that the Jets are going to have to put the ball in the air and Joe Walton knows that he'll have to do that if he's gonna have any shot and pulling this thing out tonight second and two complete Walker makes his 1526 [Music] frankly the Jets not getting a lot of the respect they feel a deserve a lot of people saying oh yeah they're ten and one but they're lucky and then of course they come in here and on a night like tonight those people will be even more vociferous in defending they'd be lucky on a few of my football good call by Waltons mountain thinking peak they go short first and ten [Music] Mike's print filling in in the secondary and again the Dolphins tonight doing the job in that secondary but all year long it has been so very forest where the Jeff came in ten to one tonight but no he was paying right close to them there nine and two of course looking on tonight jet so the tough road ahead they have the Rams if San Francisco then the hopeful tips toward any close at Cincinnati [Music] Racing as handsome as Hector and flipping down to the 28 yard alfred always had read the play beautifully just did not execute the tackle as you know however still lose at four on it a former teammate of mine of the giant super offensive mind later cooking under Alex Webster at the job Tim at the Washington as the offensive coordinator there and came to the tips and we played foul Michaels with head coach totally molded esteem exactly how he wanted to walk Michael he didn't really 14 as a Ryan goes back to pass into the sign but getting up fortunately is Don McNeal of defensive back - and slipping into the concrete again O'Brien has the protection stays in the pocket the best thing you could say about that a beautiful spiral in and out of the fingertips would have been good for the first down had he been able to hold on trying to get on the scoreboard through a Leahy field goal of 46 yards unless we see a fake and since the backup quarterback as possible they're down by 20 [Music] Lahey boots it through but it's still the dolphin 28 in the Jets 3 they would have thunk it meaning left of O'Brien is his personal mentors it brought Kowski quarterback Jeff Green Bay and a longtime assistant coach in the NFL to Joe Walton credits with having provided so much of the health and the rapid development of ken O'Brien who Gill Wong says he's a quarterback who plays like he's had eight or nine years of eprint and right now I think they're talking to Alf Doon and Webster Walker and saying we need something big and eats up the deep what have you got they need a bunch of them 28 to 3 [Music] in a touchback just to update a couple of injury reports for use it's Mark Clayton injury shoulder out the rest of the night which is Paul Lankford the defensive back left lead out for the rest of the night both have been x-rayed but apparently the x-rays are x-rated because they won't tell us what they've shown Miami boo-ki pretty good night all long drive [Music] outside little one the second drive with with a punt by Roby and the Dolphins are far away [Music] when they're backed up deep in their own territory illustration in the moment the percentage would be of a team starting a drive mad or inside their own 20 in terms of how often they would score a touchdown just take a guess in your mind percent is the answer one out of ten the Dolphins this season are twenty six percent and that's coming into this game and that's by far the best of the league they'll tell you about their defense in five and six this man is magical on offense dan Marino five of the 25 changing things right there with him [Music] gets with it a good defense for the most wine to season the defensive had allowed you subscribe to 80 or more yards in 11 games of season and they've already yielded for tonight now they looked like the team he thought with C against the 49ers in Super Bowl 19 after the 84 season absolute flawless surprisingly they're playing so strong on defense holding the Jets to a very explosive team the disc three points were nearly midway through the third quarter first and 10 from the 31 yard line a big big night [Music] Crabill the linebacker 50 made the tackle Hampton is doing all the things the Tony nathan has done for so many years now for the Miami Dolphins good running back and very misty out of the backfield of the pass receiver Nathan for the last three years he's had over a thousand yards combined rushing and receiving that roll now is basically gone to Lorenzo Hamptons at nine receptions last week and he is really putting it together tonight he already has five birth content in the 47 yard the 50-yard line dropping second down and 10 25 to play were in the third quarter at the Orange Bowl dolphins would be six and six to the win but still trailed the Jets by four and to England by three and Don Shula and you've read and heard about Don and he's in the final year of his contract rumors swirling about and he pays no attention to those and doesn't even acknowledge them says I do not want to talk about it I almost had our microphone to Cleveland when we brought it up 247 [Music] the 15th out of the forty-six goes Davenport the problem with all of those rumors is they get started and then they develop a life of their own and their picks up around the country and people see what's really happening with Shula as Davenport needs some extra time and you know him very well frankly you have to consider a number of things here he loves the area his wife loves the area he's well-established here he's got businesses going at cetera et cetera it's not going to preclude him from going someplace else but if I had to guess right now our safety back they've worked it out almost every time this has come up of course Don Shula left to Baltimore years ago 17 years go to be exact in a rather shaky circumstance it costs the Miami Dolphins a number-one draft pick but every time his contract has come up down here he's been rumored to be going somewhere the last time around it was the New York Giants there were people in the media that had it confirmed that he was going to the giant head of course he and Jill Robbie sat down at the end of the season worked it all out as they usually do and as had been done in the past and I get the feeling that that won't happen again as they continue to look at Ron Davenport and also examine port is aided and will be assisted off the field Shula is approaching his 57th birthday and not that there aren't any mountains to conquer the Don is a wealthy man he loves it here lovely area as we say very well established here in a number of businesses and I would say chances are 9 and 10 Jiri ups daddy loves the two and hit out the deal with her [Music] 7:01 now to play third period third down three Miami at the Jets 46 [Music] on third down play and first and second as well getting some playing time tonight with Clayton on a shelf a guy who can play wide receiver like quarterback in the first of the one out of Boston University and he is a quarterback and he works at a quarterback position got along with Dan Marino they both timed it out beautifully perfect rhythm between them on the flips and marina knew it was going to be isolated coverage and jetsam gave him the move may gets the completion and the first down inside the 40 Marina reads that blitz oh well if you blitz him you better get in his face or get to him or he's really going to burn first down under six minutes [Music] at all and the block that time by Woody Bennett who came out of the backfield deleted they are smoking and everything they do is ride pennant with a good Brock out of him Hampton he's turning in a superlative game tonight both running the football and also as a receiver he's working well with Marino out of the backfield what can you say they've just got it all together the game plan obviously perfect no one thought they could run coming into tonight twenty eighth in the league then rushing and playing that way against the team that had given up one rushing and the best amigas is correct [Music] he was twisting around was that more so it's incomplete Moreno going down on the play it will be third in it you want some offense 28 points and another Drive in the making little more outfits would be broadcasting to our families just as we mentioned over and over playing tonight without Gastineau pleco Marty Lyons last male they knew his going to be tough Joe Walton knows it's going to be tough long talk with him today said I'm worried about down the line said the great teams are defensive Dave when you get into the playoffs and then to the Super Bowl 30 yard line tonight the Dolphins come up short as Harry Halden makes the place of a dolphin had a second and inches and went for the bomb and then a third of Incheon Hansen will be brown [Music] field goal always would be as such for exactly development pods of a is pitch his career-best a week ago at 52 yards against Buffalo but you're sitting on a 28 to nothing lead with 28 to 3 leaves a lot of luxury out there you can do a lot of things first of all you can take a long count the times going offside penalty and I'm sure we'll see that here now a field goal would be 51 yards if you mystic the ball comes back to the same point so what's the difference as Moreno rolls to the right and throws and his teammates in any fools Piscotty needed to get for the birds down they brought it back just enough and hit me makes a difference there's a chain and as you probably require a measurement and will as you look across at the marker it does appear as though he has it they will bring the chains out but that's not Moreno stock-in-trade he was chased out of the pocket nevertheless cool calm he wanted to go deep on and that Moore had worked free downfield but meanwhile Moreno was being chased out of the pocket so he had to settle for underneath and does appear as if it's going to be a first down that was spotted by the line judge Bama glass I felt he was last year a fan might have overrun his position also it's an interesting mark first a Miami number 24 for the dolphins and we still have 337 to go in the third period first and ten at the 29-yard line early age x3 [Music] as a flag goes down lester waffles made enough incidental contact after getting blocks to get further to the tackle and here comes the word from Gerry semen holding New York or Miami rather coming up CFA college football and it's Alabama taken on Auburn in the annual interstate battle in Birmingham appraisers [Music] already emerged out ensconced in the sit for school with the halfway on ABC New Year's a great backed up as the Giants go to Candlestick Park to take on the 40 that will be a beauty the chance for fog of Washington the 49ers half a game behind the Rams and these games so meaningful as we draw down at the end of the season incidentally a we will not discuss on the state of us see where we are yes we will burst in 16 from the 35 yard line [Music] at the 28 just want to make sure you did see that knew you were gonna be weakened we needed to do the score the SCU see like game I also saw the Arizona state Arizona game meant nothing on to the Rose Bowl we have one to recoup you're right they do go out of the Rose Bowl yeah against Michigan USA on the reciprocal and Ohio State going to the Cotton Bowl that's the first time the Big Ten team has played in Dallas New Year's Day passing yardage and if it weren't for a five and six the way the Dolphins are playing they'd be going to the Super Bowl they have to end it super tonight [Music] we get the report now on Paul Lankford the cornerback and he has a cracked tibia and so he is out there saying for six weeks and that in essence is the season that's a big bone and that will keep him out the decision all thankful albums we talk about that injuries to the test they have suffered themselves we mentioned they you Green went out early in the year he had four sacks in the first three games and Avedon's who was intention to use him as a pass rusher much like the giant we've Lawrence Taylor they lost him and that took away a lot of their past Russian defense they've lost Langford third and six sighs Tony Nathan and he takes you to the 24th to doing some coaching from the sidelines Juma's for the field goal to put the margin back up and exactly for such little shorter effort here on this porch down over 50 yards and this one will be come around 40 yards coming out of a bit of a slump hit his career-best last week against Buffalo 52 a Arneson stockholding yeah all the way right everything work ABC zenithal monday night football will return after this message from our local station stay with it I am a 31 in the New York Jets 3 after the field goal [Music] go on zone [Music] in the 24-yard line [Music] [Music] will not be the home for the dolphins much longer their brand-new Stadium lord here you'll be ready for play in August of next year August 16th to be exact pulverize contest against the Chicago Bears in a preseason game first after 20 [Music] they keep the clock going Blackwood no I'm not going to do it for the third quarter and cooler has now extended him executive dad ABP funny my football is going to return after this message some are at local station now Michaels and Frank Gifford in Miami where the weather's been hot and the Dolphins isn't good the best game of the season by far and the Jets playing their worst game in the season by far 31 3 dolphin I think it's important for the Jets even though this one probably is out of reach and more likely about every president say could do something coffee they've got a tough road ahead of them the Jets have the Rams coming up we'll be at San Francisco then their home for Pittsburgh Nicole's against Cincinnati in the right our party Kozinski not one of your major blitzing linebackers he's not the one you should be concerned with he is the man who's so strong against the run in 510 makes the sack totally dominating now in every category and third and 13 is a penalty marker [Music] and too many men on the field again is the call scene after night we're down to a Haslett such a stickler for putting everything exactly right that's why wondering why they're the least penalized came almost every year 12 men on the field [Music] we're about things like this thank such done it before shoulders had only one losing season in Miami that was 76 and a scene at six and eight and a 14-game year [Music] twenty-seven and throwing seeds per hectare my dad McNeil may have just deflected the football and with Lankford out we're going to see a lot more of McNeil who used to be a regular nickname was one of the fine cornerbacks at one time we'll look at it from the reverse angle O'Brien doing what he does so well sliding out of the pocket buying a little time threw the ball in there had it just over the shoulder very difficult coming into an opportunity for Hector went right through the hands but looking straight back over the head that there's a tough chance he'll never touch this Ellis is back to receive or during suffice [Music] and Ellis at the 39 goes out of balance at the 48 Alice wearing clothes gloves even here in Miami because this is returned punts up in the Canadian Football League when he really needed those gloves did it up there for five years and he just got used to it we'll be back at the Orange Bowl mitt that of course also is reflective of the fact that dolphins have been in control of this game and have been able to run the football and able to call a run much more than they had anticipated but I think they might be even a little bit shocked that they're running offense which came into the night twenty eighth and last rushing the football has been able to run against a very strong Jets defense number one in the league against the rush into the night normally they're run percentage he gets past is one third they represent about 40% tonight they figure they do a lot our fourth touchdown today to the 35 they'll never do nothing but after tonight against the jet defense that truly misses the man in the middle man of course Joe Klecko food on the fan played well and backups but they are not cleco they are not party lions who's out with an injured shoulder and they are not Gastineau for that matter neither is rusty Guilbeau who very courageous he has come back from an injured knee with an operation last season but he is replacing another great football player pro bowler Lance Mel and as a look at Flacco he is means so much to that defense it particularly against the run [Music] the 34-yard Buddhism it's intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast throughout the use of this telecast enough express written consent the National Football League is strictly prohibited pretty good right there mercury Morris in 197 holds the club record we Gary Davis and Abner heenes all the way back in 67 and Dylan [Music] you can move it up on those secrets 46 at the moment as davenport goes to the 31 what does it go all the way back out of 1984 when they had a hundred yard rusher at some 40 games Joe Carter danke it's funny when he looked at that graphic can you think of danke and kick Larry now Monica Jets came in tonight with a nine-game winning streak the Bears came in a year ago with a 12-game winning streak and into a Don Shula machine and the Bears did a year ago purposely prescribed to offense and a defense the rules to the occasion six [Music] he Cooper is working in the outside and again great blocking for marina Luke lips was on and Bill Walton looks at the total destruction of his machine they've taken it apart dismantled it as the dolphin office look at 26 they come up the place johnnyland they pick him up beautifully that means one-on-one coverage marino and duper were in perfect concert and duper who almost got this into the end zone with a nifty run after the reception bad tackling to on the part of the Jets they should have had him back at about the 15-yard line to this night person goes in the floor but he film has only the hat-trick second and goal funny the Jets went 10 games a season without giving up a rushing touchdown and then Randy McMillan scored for the Colts on the ground last week and Hampton plummeted twice tonight [Music] great night not only am i rushing but also as you can see in the school the knight looked like a cone in a good night over the that's not the spirit of hazing Akaka Werner that using the same way both of the receiver and also as a good at running they like to go to Davenport in this situation [Music] and court to the one-yard line we'll be third down in one you know the Joe Klecko hates to see this happening the job down the road with that's affirmative back to the playoff yet on to propogate so echo the same can come back in a couple of weeks Marty Lyons probably can come back in three weeks but again their schedule is a tough one third and goal and they've got Hanson's back in the game in the history of the Dolphins only one man has scored four touchdowns in a game Warfield in it packing for against Detroit in 73 [Music] when you can run the football with the gun with a play-action and he gets the defensive attention totally and I puts it off instead maybe a little play-action and hearty that past the man over him was wide open in the end zone a Moreno is having part of a plus is an offensive ly perfect knife and as you can see Vinson trying to get out there and flex the man he should have been covering that he was thinking run because the dolphins are they're doing it so well today relays for the extra point [Music] 33 [Music] arty stuff down here time to hearty when you get in toast makes it look like the Black Sea steps out like he's gonna put the black on and Vinson who would have been covering hearty credit as the run he's wide open in the end zone at Marino hits him right on the numbers that didn't just come off the presses at Kinkos copiers where do you Iran appeal an hour and a half before the game in the driftwood optimist club foot to hit something up 38 nothing Miami [Music] the pessimistic right now is a 38 degree [Music] Moodle Jets [Music] President Aquino fired her defense minister after an apparent to attend that he hopes to have a stronger other state democracy is still in danger and that's later tonight on Nightline following your late local news and if you want to find out about some of the stars of the daytime game shows journey with David Hartman tomorrow morning on Good Morning America first half from the 20-yard line off the fingertips of rocky to haver [Music] we were picking some of the prescription athletic syrup out of Atonement dan Marino stock isn't working a cutting with inside the 20 may seem later as the season comes to a close the field gets a first down on patron over 30 the New York Jets by the way lost in the shuffle here Dan Marino with Batman he has become the first quarterback in league history to throw for 30 or more touchdowns and DJ Turner number 95 with a sack and a fumble [Music] it's hard to believe FTJ Turner's first half of the year and according to former hard to believe is and he started every game with rookie from Houston he fumbled in and recovered it is he thrilled number one in history took over from Doug fetters who was a longtime holdout in the summer O'Brien usually gets away with this slipping out of the pocket but Gordon King left's up on the Block on TJ's turn he's there for the sack and also the recovery and so the dolphins with this one cemented at the 22-yard line now first and ten brew it wide to the left for delivery wait hurt the year staying on the ground a Campton bennett co-surgeon back the only bad news for the Dolphins tonight two pieces reports Lankford with a crack tibia and the report on Mark Clayton in a separated right shoulder he's on it at least for a couple of games that is the course will depend on the severity of the separation of these and I'm sure a little later on but I could say one thing if the teeth of minor it's going to be very painful second and ten [Music] coming through it to say foot [Music] the 41-yard line [Music] third down the third nine go walking talking to his pride and joy ken O'Brien who he's had time to throw the football tonight sustained an outstanding defensive effort on the part of the Dallas and sure they are thinking back to the drawing board but this has got to hurt down the line considering the Jeff schedule it's around in Pittsburgh in Cincinnati and New England breathing right down there Elena will be one game back after tonight [Music] merino cupcakes several laughs it in there to that boy but they victim up Miami didn't want to that entity can't defend the four men on the field out in the world he going to do with eleven dan Marino in his land against the Jets over two years has grown thirteen or with his second touchdown fabulous [Music] in project [Music] you more staying alive working with Moreno they know they're always alive with Moreno they never give up even though morena what's up initially off to his left to Pruett he pulled it back handed unloaded one and more was there super effort by moreno again he had the time to do it for Marino as we come to you from the Orange Bowl Al Michaels and Frank Gifford and for those of you still with us good luck on your over/under wager Marina poster yet another his 21st and he's naughty who usually wins this 300 yard game 45 secure over at the 20 now the very beginning we talked about the troubles he just have on a defense pleco Klansmen gasp to know and we talked about the Dolphins ability to rise to the occasion as they did as we look at a new quarterback well the Jessen that would be Pat Ryan but talk about the talons ability to rise up and and break the long winning sticks who did it against the Bears last year when they came in 12a know the Jets what an I know streak in here tonight thankfully I think we were only kidding herself I certainly was I happen tonight a great job done by the [Music] as Pacific it's his second of the season and he has started every game and they have both come tonight and they've been successful on successive plays he was the man of course the fumble moments ago before Miami Dawid EFA's has been hammered all year long they're going to feel great tonight second and 17 it's run out of bounds like Liz Lange 7:32 remaining in the fourth those are contracts that's McNeil rattles off some yardage that will reflect rather favorably on the end of the year he's missed four games russer of a year ago over 1300 yards a year ago when he played relatively injury-free surprise Miguel was in there with [Music] the key to the Jets fortunes down the line at least redundant ball control according back [Music] I think I saw a flag yeah and the flag down at the 34 yard line go back to 73 Miami beat the Jets by 28 miss New York the worst defeat and they lead 45 to 40 at the moment 82 [Music] keep in mind that alpha scored 45 points in the first game against the Jets when they lost 51 45 second and ten final game the Jets will ever play in the Orange Bowl where they won Super Bowl three against Baltimore in 69 the man who was lined up in the neutral zone the last play creating the penalty third down just looking at the dolphin tear through their history their most decisive win back in 72 they're perfect here they beat New England 52 to nothing in 75 they beat the Jets 40 swimming up [Music] those four tune kept his concentration and renee.thompson and Donovan Rose had him sandwich with tuna stuff they still at the flag down and they could be bringing this back but a good reception there by toon good concentration Thompson went for the interception and didn't get there the rookie from Baylor only number 49 defense declined one of the few things they've been wrong tonight cornerback William judge said it's a good time to do things wrong 42 point lean and 714 to go in the fourth worse the feed-in gets history would be 1979 when the way destroys on 56 to 3 they're worse than the 40 nothing against King City back in 63 Neal interesting to Al the other boat leading receiver to 11 games out to him to receptions all the [Music] the parent one coming in lose a game that's arrived at to lose with this play he's out of bounds about a yard shy of the person [Music] guess we'll go to ten and two in New England has been a red-hot and the patch will be only a game back and then next weekend the ditch had their hands full as they host the Rams East Rutherford New England goes to New Orleans to take on the moon the Saints [Music] third and one from the 25 the thing to down could go play action applying dip one the deal first down at the 23-yard down to 635 ante Hindle made the tackle that is vicious SuperDuper Mark's wife and young son super ass and super rat [Music] receiver second and ten Brian filled in for a Brian six weeks ago gets to England at one that one thirty one twenty four is twenty four thirty eight for the season 63% of Walton taking O'Brien out tonight about half of the fourth quarter remaining preserving his health apart where is that Hiep past they may waive a penalty off because the pass was stiff that's possible here and that's what semen is discussing but still four go the defense and I think what Jerry was saying is was the contact answer the tip for before and obviously the answer we got was before [Music] radzinsky [Music] corner Ram who had some contract problems allergy recall here seven years ago dear in motion over the middle the Clarkson 559 to play in the fourth quarter dolphin 45 Jets three selling is the ability of the dollars to run the football tonight I think even more something is in the defensive play of the Dolphins tonight nuts aligned unlikely so many cases in the night 27th against to us 21st against the past twenty seventh in the league ended night Aleya played great first and goal o'clock [Music] boy Joey he knew it was going to be tough we talked about it today so it's going to play this game just like he played the Bears a year ago he knew he was coming in and when to find himself a buzz saw he thought he had two people to control the game early on he talked about being patient with the running game until they decided to play the run and then O'Brien could go up on top but here he is his late minutes of the fourth quarter getting picked off in the end zone with Jen O'Brien on the bench Pat Ryan out there struggling against the still fired up Miami team and down 45 to 3 and now another quarterback comes on the personal Minter of Dan Marino Don Scott's been around 13 years and over the years he provided some thrilling play you want to really picture you've got one of Darmstadt they haven't needed him for a long time he has a major game for the Dolphins in his 14 years [Music] and nine I want to tell you that the the AT&T tennis challenge comes away this weekend coverage on both Saturday and Sunday Saturday at at one o'clock Eastern Time from Atlanta and the big names are all there Yvonne Lindell Boris Becker Wilander Yannick Noah Jimmy Connors John McEnroe all scheduled to compete in the AT&T

career a 55% Passard 39 touchdown almost that many interceptions he's one of those quarterbacks when you get him in there and he gets hot he can run off a streak of them and he has done that many times third and three o'clock down to 425 [Music] for Langford has come back out and he's the fellow the cornerback who suffer the cracks tibia and thus the chances of his reappearing before the end of the season are well he just told you what they are gone gonzo Lankford gone mama is out with a poll join the key man in the middle a nose tackle the dolphin we talk about youth green being on for the season early [Music] bounds at the 43 yard line they had more in the gap between the zone and absolutely a perfect strike again and you'll see stock let it clear gets by homes easy unban rock has them in the air just as you castle homes and right in front a very Hamilton 500 very touchy and man has just been announced he gets a tremendous over Shirley said he has worked so hard 84 when the Marc's super inflate we're having the great years he even thought about crepes calling it a career but actually his career had been enhanced by their play he worked so well underneath [Music] in the 36 yard line [Music] you know a wandering shul is not the kind of guy obviously who's going to pour it on I'm wondering Don might have known or somebody might have told on hey man is real close to 500 maybe we can get it to him and they did on those two passes on this drive this thought I think that might have happened could well have happened but also down the line he was going to get it on sue is also not the kind of coach is going to rattle it up I guess the team is going to meet later on but the way the thousands are playing what they do seem to work if they're going to run it up no matter what does appear [Music] loses the ball but the play is over conversely for the Jets I mentioned earlier losing is one thing but losing big like this late in the season when they had so much going for them they were ten and one a nine-game winning streak they have been thrashed here tonight pensively their defense has been taken albeit an injury little defense nevertheless they have been playing well and their offense has been totally an F against a dolphin defense and a dolphin defense that with rank coming into tonight 27th in the league the 11 games that has to hurt later on in our you how do you pull it together this is going to be the job that doing Walt was faced with third down and two now for the 35 yard line [Music] the first Perry and close there first [Music] little ground marking is correctly aligned he's got it Gregg Alice's first attempt of the year first year out of San Diego State after five years up in the Canadian Football League earthbound [Music] interesting when you reflect on these two teams tonight when they met September the 21st the Jets hanging in there beating the Dolphins 51 to 45 what a turning point it was because the Jets went on to win eight in a row after that the Falcons went four and four and virtually eliminated itself from the playoffs even though they are mathematically still alive [Music] a game that hurts so much that hurts it's often those many weeks ago this game within one game over New England has to hurt them down the line as they start to think about it always good we think we are they have never been given the credit by the media they don't feel that they have believed in themselves until they're 78 on the debt offsetting dead-ball files second down Jeff Dillon back Barry Bennett and also the two-minute warning [Music] we come down to a brace of the new toast that the orange go with it often bleed the Jets 45 - true I just margin of victory and oddly that came in a game has figured to be real close early on this season the Bears were meeting the hot singles and the Bears just blew him away and tonight's team figure to be close and this one's a blowout that was a game which which McMahon returned to the Bears and he just exploded and it confirmed what everyone knew that the man there's so much to that I think to the Bears and now after talking to Mike Ditka tonight the injury to the shoulder we don't know the status of man the rest of the season for the Bears second and eight and 31 I tell you what we've got some stop the precious stuff for you right now they're gonna play this game and under three hours folks kickoff was it about the seven past 9:00 Eastern right now we are at midnight at least everyone across the nation at local news is certainly hoping so oh they have had long nights we sympathize with them sending me all of our condolences as we have kept him up late this year we believe the system would be the door of a house broken play stop at the 34-yard line that's a little the fourth down as we run this one out and neither team is in desirous or stopping the clock Alabama again has a chance to go to the Sugar Bowl they're flying with LSU for that spot and the SEC championship and they meet Auburn in the annual shootout in Birmingham coverage beginning at 3:00 Eastern Time and Candlestick Park in San Francisco Monday night the Giants and the 49ers by the bay a
