1986 Week 15 - Washington at Denver

cbs sports presents the national football league today we're live at mile high stadium the home of the denver broncos and today they host the washington redskins in ideal weather conditions it's hard to believe it's december in denver and it's 53 degrees those are the teams who have clinched the playoff spots chicago the giants these redskins and these broncos who are the afc western division champions that is the final score we could have added the jets to that list but they lost to the steelers today 45-24 chuck noll is 9-0 in his career against the jets so they'll have to wait a while good afternoon i'm pat summerhall washington in denver they're both in the playoffs denver the champion the redskins definitely the host of the wild card game in the nfc with me of course is john madden and you go in with those uh thoughts and those credentials about both of them already being in the playoffs what about washington what do they really have at stake well you know we talked to joe gibbs last night he was mad and uh of course they lost to the giants last sunday we talked to him friday night now that's a long time to hold a man and he's held it that long and the way you can tell he was mad he said he said i want to see what we do tomorrow and that's the way a coach talks when he's still upset and i think what he wants he wants to see how they're going to bounce back today i think he hopes that they bounce back in a big way he says because we'll probably be the wild card team he said but we don't want to be going downhill as we go into this game he said we want to be peaking because we know one thing that the team that we have to play in the wild card is going to peak because they have to win the next two to get in the wild card and that makes sense to me i've always felt that the team that is playing best at the time the team that is peaking is a team that will go the farthest in the playoffs john what about denver they've won the afc west now they're playing for the home field advantage throughout the playoffs how do they approach this game i think dan reeves was a little less mad at joe gibbs but he was mad too and he says we have to take over control again he said last week against the chiefs we didn't have control of that game by control he meant field position he said we can't give these redskins a short feel in other words we can't have the turnovers the way we did last week he said our defense has to control their offense we can't give them the big play and then on offense we have to be able to run we have to get the running game going we have to throw that short passing game that ball control so what he wants to do is they lost control last week against the chief he wants to get it back here today against the redskins steve cox will kick off for the redskins ken bell and gene lange back deep for the broncos watching cox in the warm-up he was kicking him out of the end zone of course we are a mile high and the ball does go a little bit further the shot goes back deep into the end zone almost out gene wang bounces it downs it and they'll start from the 20 john elway will he'll face a defense that is a four-man front charles mann butts daryl grant and dexter manly look for him to have a big day daniels ulkowitz and milot the linebackers and the secondary green and morrison this week the cornerbacks and the safety men jordan indeed winder and will height and elway back to throw on first down batted down the big paw of dave butts got up there to knock it away the denver offense elway the quarterback winder and will hide the runners vance johnson and steve watson start wide up front stuttered bishop brian cooper lanier and joey hackett starting at tight end in place of clarence k [Applause] morrison mobley number 89 is now splitting out wide to the right and we'll see a lot of him today [Applause] two wide receivers left the handoff to to winder with will height blocking a gain of six curtis jordan alvin walton by the way is the other safety man for the redskins third and four and now the skins make their wholesale changes on what they believe to be a passing down winder comes out will hype remains as the lone running back sampson comes in and they go with four wide receivers [Applause] the old way wanted to make sure everybody was picked up incomplete intended for vance johnson everybody was not picked up [Applause] okay here's the pressure here's the first thing that we see as we see the blitz coming from the outside one safety coming the stunt in the middle no one picked up the safety blitz that was todd bowles who plays a safety and a linebacker they didn't pick that up they did have some guys free down the field though that elway didn't see mike horan the third bronco putter hunter of this year back to kick to newly activated number 80 eric yarber for the redskins they lost both their kick returners last week in that defeat against the giants some pressure on moran he gets off a good left-footed kick yarber signal fair catch steve wilson 47-yard punt no return and that'll get it done there's the ritzkin quarterback jay schroeder in the defense he'll be facing and who knows how it'll line up roulon jones craigan and townsend normally up front in the three ryan mecklenburg ricky hundley and jackson the linebackers right and harden the cornerbacks dennis smith and steve foley the safety men but they do a lot of shuffling and changing anthony jones and donnie warren line up on the right side they start with two tight ends handoff george rogers behind the line of scrimmage as he hit by ricky hundley he was the first man there and a gain of one the offense straighter the quarterback rogers will be the lone setback monk and clark wide warren and anthony jones start jacoby mckenzie in place of russ grimm bostick thielmann and mark may [Applause] dan reeves over on the sideline talking to his offensive unit second down rogers again mike harden the first man there with hundley again and roger's only got two he'll go out and brian will come in what the redskins are trying to do is get back into two tight ends that time they had anthony jones in the backfield along with rogers and he and made an eye formation he was leading but he didn't block anyone and i know what the redskins want to do they want to get back in here and pound at these guys and they have an idea but the players aren't carrying it out ricky sanders this time split out wide to the left in the slot to the right goes in motion warren stays in the block schrader out of the pocket pursued by broncos fires in the direction of art monk but there were broncos all over jay schroeder freddie gilbert was the leader of the pack along with rulon jones you know the interesting thing about this start pat it's the same thing that happened last week when they first started going back to pass against the giants they got big pressure here they started again and the same thing happened to the broncos against kansas city big pressure and of course the redskins had that blitz so they're just starting up where they ended up last week maybe that's what they were talking about well they said we got to get back on positive track cox back to punt standing at his home 15. will height will return for denver he's got room to handle it you heard okay gerald wilheik gets outside the 35 shawn works down to make the tackle a pot of 45 yards a return of 12. so they net 33. nothing nothing jay schrader redskins outstanding young quarterback and he really does seem to be very much in command of himself and the whole concept of what they're trying to do he really is an impressive guy for only right now he's started for one year and as you say he seems to have control of the whole deal first and ten broncos at their own 35 elroy back to throw watson and yes morrison the defender a gain of eight i'll tell you this steve watson is a guy that's been catching passes for eight years for this bronco team he's always been the big guy the guy that always gets open the possession guy the guy that third down pass you need the first down you need to touch down they've been looking to him for a long time gene lange now in the backfield with winder or some mobley spit split wide to the left elway delang winder sorry back close to a first down stop by rich malott that's going to be i believe close enough to measure you know one of the things uh you know pat since the broncos don't have clarence k in there they're using two tight ends one is joey hackett number 85 who we see coming in now and he's going to be the blocker then when they want to run or pass then they put orson mobley in 89. now they have both of them in at this time but they're trying to use mobley splitting him out and trying to get the strong safety out of there so they can run on the other side they have rimsburg and stuttered together delaware quarterback snake i think the redskins jumped off sides he got the first down in any case of course that was a short yardage play so then they had three tight ends in on short yardage but on regular downs they're either putting hackett in or mowbly now since grimsburg was a tight end stutter has to come out for a play is that right yeah right studdard became the tight end so then standard has to go out first down and rimsburg has to stay at least one player rinsberg has to play one more play elway looking over to the sideline for the signals all the plays are called from over there watson goes wide to the left johnson is split down wide to the right winder is the lone setback [Applause] [Music] a couple for sammy weiner charles mann you know dan reeves was saying to us yesterday you hear all they're stuttered back in yes we're saying you hear the publicity the valley who is about manly he said he was more impressed with charles mann yeah and he was impressed with the speed of charles mann he says you know he said he watched him on film he said he never heard much about man he said but the more you watch the more you realize that this guy is some pass rusher will height is behind elway this time it's johnson on the move man is loose the ball is loose the broncos come up with it stuttered i believe made the recovery almost looked like man kicked that ball out of elway i was going to say that that was charles mann on the rush there he'll be going against ken lanier but it looked like he did kick the ball out of there look he's coming the top left of the screen number 71. billy bryant tries to get him i think he stuck that left foot out there and just popped it out hey the bronco's got a big break there and recovering it'll be third and 20. the broncos from their own 40. mark jackson this time split wide to the right elway out of the shotgun redskins chasing man the closest elway sent it mobley incomplete [Applause] barry wilburn was the closest defender see the side judge down here threw his hat that means one of the receivers went out of bounds i think that was number 80 mark jackson went out of bounds so what that is saying when he goes out of bounds yeah you can see him right here top of the screen he was out of bounds now he can come back into block but he can't come back in to catch the ball of course the ball was thrown to mobley see there he's out of bounds right there so the official throws a hat he can't come back in and be a receiver he can come back in and block but he can't come back in and clip i think he did i think so too haran back to kick eric yarber back deep for washington they're trying to set up a return this time it's another good kick yarber came out of the pack almost broke it got outside the 20 about to 22. that point was up there for five seconds 47 yarder yarber brought it back 10. 8 47 left in the first quarter at mile high stadium it's nothing nothing some of the most avid fans in all of football 120 consecutive sellouts here at mile high stadium for the broncos i know how avid they are i've been on that other sideline many many years i'll tell you they they didn't like the raiders and they let you know about it they didn't hold back huh first and ten terry orr now in the game that was anthony jones moving schrader fake intended monk incomplete crossing roulon jones applied some pressure so did mecklenburg you know it's a funny thing you take a team like the redskins that had everything going had a lot of confidence the broncos did too and they both lose a game and you don't just get it back that easily i mean i think the in the second half i think the redskins struggled last week trying to get it back i have the feeling here in the first quarter of this game they're still struggling trying to get it back again they go with those two tight ends side by side to schroeder's left and the handoff is to george rogers rogers cuts back comes close to a first down [Applause] maybe got nine tony lily made the stop that's the type of thing that they wanted to get back you know some power running but they did this time they had the two tight ends on the left side they're going to run to the left now they're just going to block down because rc teal and mark may you see them 69 and 73 they're pulling from the right side to lead them so you had the two tight ends blocking down at the point then you had mark bay and thielmann the offside pulling to lead rogers now the redskins send in russ grimm mcquaid mckenzie their biggest guys what do they call this they call it heavy jumbo their short yardage thing used to be called jumbo now with these guys they got tons of guy in there all the biggest guys in the team they put him in see mcquaid 60. he's a tight end mckenzie's the other tight end they're guards and tackles put in all their offensive linemen big tight ends other than schrader and rogers who will carry the ball the smallest guy has worn it 250. third and short [Applause] heavy jumbo [Applause] traitor long count hoping the broncos will jump they don't he rolls out and he's got some room traders got the first down out of bounds in front of the bench at the 48-yard line chased down by ricky hundley straighter almost fell down as he rolled out what he did is look he got everything going this way he faked and then did a naked bootleg out here now watch this side come in and he gets free out there but as you say he almost fell down watch the fake there the corner comes in and schrader out runs the outside dennis smith had to do a quick change of direction but schroeder picked up 16 and got the first down rogers still the running back warren moves rogers runs and gets about eight before mecklenburg trips him up officially he got seven this is the type of thing that joe gibbs wanted you know to be able to get down there and pound on something you know where you don't have to throw you don't have to let him just come and tee off on you the whole game where you can run out of pound on him calm that defense down [Applause] he was mad last night second down and short two two and a half rogers again and he's got the first down and more bounces down to about the bronco 35 after a gain of eight again it's tony lily on the stop well he's running right in there behind mckenzie and jacoby you see that he starts in there behind that thing and makes a nice move there starts in bounces out to the left side and is able to pick up that first down i'll tell you i saw him in the hotel last night george rogers and he was a determined guy he wasn't smiling i'm gonna have one tomorrow well they're gonna give him a chance [Applause] quickly outside clark who had it lost it and took a shot to the head dennis smith on the coverage and clark was really hammered [Applause] that is a tough thing because he wasn't in a position to accept a hammer i mean watch him he's down and he's going to get bent backward watch him he has to come down to catch the ball he gets down he's down on both knees drops the ball then he gets bent over you see what i mean and he already has a pulled hamstring and i bet you that's where the whole pressure goes is you get knocked back over that way on factor checking his ankle there well he got bent back so you never know what's got to give something does when you make that kind of move doesn't it still washington denver nothing nothing 641 left first quarter gary clark being helped to the bench obviously a problem with his left ankle which was bent backwards who said he was in that position where when he took that hit something had to go and of course that's a big loss gary walker caught 74 passes this year ricky sanders has taken his place and off rogers tattered trey rogers inside the 30 about the 28 tripped up by ken woodard a gain of seven that old familiar play but here's the thing that they do you know they take this offside team in here bay here and they're going to lead this way rogers takes a little counter step and gets right in behind him see now the offside of pull there they go takes a little counter step in there behind bay gets that kick out he's able to get those couple yards third down and three bran has replaced rogers slater back to throw has to get rid of it in a hurry but gets it to kelvin bryant and bryan is out of bounds at the denver 15. knocked out by tony lily a pickup of 14. he had to get rid of the ball because ken woodard the linebacker number 52 watch him is real close to him he comes free there so he has to get rid of the ball and he does the smart thing he finds calvin bryant the guy who would've just ran by i don't know if bryant was supposed to block him or not but that's the old rule if the guy doesn't block him then throw it to him because he should be open at the 15 then rogers back in gary clark leaving in the wheelchair they give to rogers rogers down to about the 12. bryant was in the game the two of them at the same time there's gary clark i'll tell you there is a tough guy going off the field and you know that the last place he wants to be sitting is in that chair right now he's a real competitor he's he's played at least half this season with a cold hamstring he hasn't been able to practice all week he just watches and then every sunday he's been able to gut it out you know it's not always those big guys are the tough guys sometimes the toughest guys are the guys like gary clark sanders splits wide to the left this time rogers is behind straighter second down at seven outside marcus hit by lilly just as soon as he makes the catch maybe he got two yards out of it but here's where those broncos really get tough you know they've always been that they've always the closer you get to the goal line the closer this bronc the tougher this bronco defense is they've always been that way that was one of uh joe gibson's concerns last night he said i hope we can move the ball but the closer we get the tougher there and of course there's the architect of this defense joe collier he's the assistant head coach and the head of the defender clint didier is in the game for the first time he's in a slot to the right schroeder down the middle touchdown to sanders from 10 yards out [Applause] that's the way to do it if you can't pound it in here get the three guys out there they put didier in there he has a broken hand he missed the last two weeks he runs an outside pattern and you see ricky sanders who just took gary clark's place he runs the post then you see see schroeder drill it in there and so the redskins take the lead with 4 18 left in the first quarter zindejas to try the extra point [Applause] it is not good schrader was a holder to snap appeared to be a little bit off mark look at it it looked like zendeja slipped a little too so the red bill back deep cox's kick sails through and out of the end zone they'll bring it back to the 20. the redskins scoring drive 11 plays 77 yards they kept it four minutes 29 seconds and the redskins when they score first the record is 36 and two since 1983. you know that's probably pretty good but i'll tell you another thing i've always known when you miss an extra point somewhere it jumps up and bites you winder is the lone setback mobley on the move elway has some time now looks and looks and looks and finally guns it in the direction of mowgli and when i say gun it he can gun it that's one thing he throws it so hard you always have the chance for two of them to get it there's the blocking here on dexter manly that's dave studdard number 70. last week brad benson made nfc player of the week blocking him number seven a okay they just called him holding for that i didn't see a holding there in fact i'd like to see that one again i think maybe when manly went down maybe they thought that was holding but watch stutter boom is up in there that's okay hand in there that's okay his hands off him oh that's a bad call i don't care what you say makes it first and 20. hands off to will height and dave butz wraps that up i'll tell you dave butch wraps up a lot of them here butts is right here and when he gets something going there you better slow him up before he gets started watch that it just takes a little inside move that was mark cooper trying to block him he looked like uh cooper looked as if he was trying to get position on butts yeah you don't the first thing you do on butts is you got to tie into him you got to stop that thing you can't step for position position is not a factor when you're blocking him no i mean he's so big you already got position anyway he goes mowgli on the move elway back in his own end zone going deep intended for mark jackson that was daryl green back there with him and right with him i'll tell you those are two of the fastest guys in the nfl you know that mark jackson probably has more speed than anyone on the bronco team and of course daryl green was in a race in the off season and he was the fastest guy in football so that could if you time that they they probably ran as i was watching him here and you know just timing it myself i think they ran 4-3 in that 40 both of them i think you're right redskins have their pass rushing unit in there now hamill marcus cook on the inside grant and butts out here's elway back in the end zone [Applause] [Music] he'll get some breathing room but not close to a first down todd bowles tripped him up again at 13. well i'll tell you the thing that they did is they got some room for their punter he doesn't have to stand in the end zone now whereas the punters back 15 yards from the line of scrimmage so he'll be just in front of the goal line wind well there isn't much seven miles an hour they said when the game began but if you look up on top of the scoreboard flags aren't moving hurran and all kickers love this altitude here oh yeah your average goes up all you have to do is hit it yarber back deep allen didn't turn over flag down robert with room gets to midfield darren como tripped him up a 45-yard punt but let's see what the penalty is jerry seaman is the referee well it has to be that illegal block wouldn't you think that's a very popular one holding holding that's the same thing if you get in better position it's a legal block if you can't get in the position to illegally block them in the back then you hold them we have a post-possession foul holding number 35 during the kick first down i think it was the guys out here that were trying to hold up the outside guy it was keith griffin they got it on and i think they were trying to hold out you know the only two guys can go down to the outside guys i think they tried to hold them up literally mecklenburg this time as the broncos go with four down lineman mecklenburg as a linebacker they give to rogers right side and whatever defense that was joe collier in his unit got the right setup tomorrow on cbs don't forget that big match in new england the 49ers and the patriots it begins with the nfl today but both those teams the niners in new england still in the playoff picture both need to win i'll tell you the redskins are probably going to be the wild card team and joe gibbs told us one day we don't want to see the 49ers again comes in motion again it's counter trey rogers behind the two blockers from the other side and this time mecklenburg and company stack it up the report on gary clark from the redskins says that he has strained ligaments in his left ankle and will not return and that indeed as john madden said is a a huge loss that guy had been mr clutch you know sometimes that sprained ankle is worse than a break you always hear that that it takes longer to heal than a broken bone in there third down and eight less than a minute left in the first quarter straighter back to throw gets it outside intended for kelvin bryant bounced off his thumbs steve wilson was the nearest must have stung him a little bit schrader throws it hard too i tell you watch joe jacoby block against carl mecklenburg here's jacoby here's mecklenburg jacoby does a nice job on him last week he had a little trouble he had a lot of trouble with lawrence taylor took some criticism for it this week he's getting mecklenburg but he's able to stay with him and drive him by and let schrader get rid of it steve cox the putter will hide that good kick by cox and his own he had one man to beat that was alvin walton and walden stayed right with it 52-yard punt by cox i'll tell you that gerald wilhite is something for this team fan he's he's their leading receiver he's a blocker he's a punt returner tell you just about everything he does it weren't for john elway he'd probably be the most valuable player on this team and he's not that big not to be a blocker he got some good blocks on that return though i remember when he was a number one draft choice out of san jose state a lot of people thought the broncos made a mistake watson was the move man the handoff is to lang straight ahead and he got two yards daryl grant tripped him up gary clark we told you had strained ligaments in that left ankle they've got it iced down but as john said sometimes that can be worse than a break and probably you talk about mvps i think gary clark has to be one of the mvps on this team mobley split wide to the right coleman out there with it lang and nothing maybe one [Applause] quarter number one is over and the scores washington 6. the denver rock goes nothing won't get it done three wide receivers come wide to the left [Applause] they're going with four on third down and seven elway is going deep yes almost picked off is intended for mark jackson no flags are down the redskins barry wilburn back in good shape just to go back to the injury situation as concerns gary clark it's not as bad as the first report that we had it's an ankle sprain but there is no ligament damage so that's encouraging well i think it's the same thing i think a sprain and sprained or like i think that's all the same thing the word is just that it's not broken it's a strain and you usually what are you spraying i think you sprain ligaments and stuff moran aiming for the sideline yarber fields it bear catches it the redskins will take over at their own 13. no flags 40 yard punt redskins leading six nothing touchdown pass from schroeder to sanders yeah there's dave butt standing there sitting on the bench relaxing there you know last week the giant offensive line coach fred hovland said that he's a got a big old head on weighs 50 pounds butts got upset about that called a pumpkin head so he went and weighed his own head and he said his head only weighed 12 pounds i think it's more than that though i think somewhere in between i would bet closer to 50 than 12. here's schweiter back to throw on first down looking for a collision and a flag that looks legitimate dennis smith the defender oh then they threw another flag i was the same guy [Applause] the same guy just picked it up and threw it down again that was a double dipper but looks like smith gets the air before the ball does oh that's pretty close i don't know i don't think that's as bad as it looked when they did it yeah because if he gets there first before the ball he can't hit him that looks like about the same time that ball was thrown behind monk and into smith smith has a right to go for the ball first down redskins nevertheless the handoff is for rogers rogers cuts back inside hit by simon fletcher first and down he goes after a gain of five you see simon fletcher come running down that line no one blocked him he had rogers all all zeroed in didn't he well that really is how you beat that play that counter tree when they pull the offside lineman you gotta have somebody to count that guy chasing and that's probably why they put in simon fletcher because he has that speed and he can run it down from the backside second and 6 46 schrader a mix up and all he can do is look for some daylight and doesn't see anything but orange then so down he goes let's watch it he turned the wrong way i think that was schrader's fault because it looked like the ball was supposed to go to the right everyone else went to the right schrader went to the left and he didn't have any guy there to hand it off to so that brings up a third down at eight situation kelvin brand in the game monk goes in motion straighter back to throw monk spins away from one defender and gets another six yards out of it tony lilly was the first defender the monk is out there he starts in motion then he's going to be out there working on mike harden number 31. he drives him up he knows where the first down marker is stops hooks to the inside works back to the outside and he just knocked harden off with his right arm that was a defensive pass rush move but i'll tell you schrader drilled that ball oh boy that's where you can tell the strength of a quarterback's arm is throwing me out hanes has replaced harden as the broncos right cornerback this is rogers at or behind the line of scrimmage and knocked backwards by the big crushers you know one thing about this bronco defense and joe collier they play a different defense on every down and most of these different defenses play different people on every down so by the time you figure out who's playing where the guy's not there anymore there's a new guy there that's one of the more confusing things about it different defenses and different numbers second 11. later back to brian kelvin bryant inside the bronco 25 and up for a first down ken woodard chasing him bryant the last couple of weeks has really come on i'll tell you the other thing you know joe gibbs said last week he was waiting for him to come on last week he thought he did come on but i'll tell you what joe has to be happy with here is his pass protection joe jacoby last week as i said he drew lawrence taylor it was a long day now today he's drawing carl mecklenburg a big part of the time and he's taking care of that business first down at the bronco 25 for the redskins they again move much traitor fakes back to throw gets the screen pass out to rogers not many blockers out in front rick dennison on the tackle we're at mile high stadium in denver colorado ideal weather redskins scored on a pass from schroeder to sanders then zendejas missed the extra point george rogers so far has been busy has 44 yards rushing and the redskins lead it six nothing second down and six at the 21-yard line of denver [Applause] to about the 15 and about a yard shy of a first down ricky hundley made the stop you know that was interesting how munt came in motion pat he starts here as he's in motion he's watching the secondary all the way then he goes all the way here up and in he decides as he's going in motion and watching what he's going to do when he gets up there watch your most you see him look he's looking to see what coverage he's getting now he sees the hole inside comes up stops goes back to the inside third and one [Applause] rogers will score from 15 yards out george rogers bolts into the end zone and that was that heavy jumbo formation they had all big guys look at those big guys [Applause] there's rogers he's there he's the only guy that's not a big guy in there he's the guy that's going to get the ball looking left he has donnie warren his tight end in the backfield he leads warren's the guy that got that kick out blocked see rogers was in there he felt comfortable he says i got that big old heavy jumbo in front of me i'm going to go jumbo left he was looking over there and he felt comfortable with all those big old guys rogers is only 2 30. [Applause] the extra point is good but not really very good watch number 85 donnie warren he's the tight end watch the lead here the block he gets he kicks out that allows the hole for rogers to go through and that was a huge opening 13 nothing redskins kickoff is handled by ken bell hell had an alley and took advantage of it up to about the 35 before he's tripped up by dean hamill 34-yard return that's the washington scoring drive that made it 13-0 rogers 15-yard run 60 touchdown of the season for george denver's first four possessions have not been very lucrative four punts by horan well you know that's what we talked about that's the same thing that happened to them last week their their first series they had something go wrong all the time then kansas city built up the lead and they couldn't get back elway back to throw manly forces him up into the pocket flags go down elway comes out of there chased out of bounds by daryl green and neil olkowitz he got seven but that is probably going to be holding that'll be holding against the broncos and that one will come back be interesting if it's against dexter manly to be on stutter that would be the second penalty stutter had blocking manly today manly does get a lot of that where the guy blocking him gets a lot of penalties on him the illegal use of hands to the face number 54 offense still first down on keith bishop [Applause] bishop would be the guy blocking daryl grant you know one thing about this this line of the redskins they have big guys grant and butts in the middle and they get to push up the center then they have the fast guys manly and man coming from the outside all the way back manly chasing again outside intended for winder but elway had a hurry manly with the heat tell you manley is starting to get it going now i mean he's rushed there he just takes a full rush into stutter pushes him by and he's right there at elway's feet usually he uses a speed and goes around that time he just took on dave stutter boom and then got beyond them you know going into last week's game he was the leading sacker in the nfl coming out of the game he was second lawrence taylor was number one second and 20. will height from elway and a gain of 10. ken coffey made the stop john madden was talking a minute ago about all the things that gerald wilhite does one thing that's not inclu included in there is blocking i'll tell you you know that's that's why a guy is so valuable you know that it does those things that you don't always see like the blocking when sammy winder runs it the blocking he has to do on pass protection receiving the return you put it all together and that's a valuable deal elway from the shotgun for mowgli and orson mowgli comes down with it todd bowles knocked him out of bounds mowgli weighs about 265 there's an interesting guy a 265 pound tight end who plays hvac and they like him because he's a receiver you think of a 265 pound guy as a blocker like another tackle but this guy is a tackle who's running like a wide receiver elway this time had good pass protection see they keep elway i mean they they keep manly off him just long enough for elway to get rid of the ball but that's a big target and a big old 260 pound 65 pound guy out there running pattern he got 25 on that completion redskins showing blitz penalty markers second pass is complete the mark jackson elway threw it going backwards i think dan reeves was saying that sometimes elway is like houdini i think he was like houdini on that one neil okowitz the middle linebacker came on a blitz no one picked him up offside defense penalty declined first down in fact they were offsides to get to the rush and all houdini going backwards got rid of that ball and completed it the redskins never really got set on defense manley was still moving around when the ball was snapped and so was milot first and ten as they decline the penalty falls at the 30. washington leading 13-nothing elway doesn't like what he sees and calls a timeout he had 12 men on the field pat he had two tight ends one of him in denver rich carlos now there's a new one pat where the kicker has two helmets one on his head one in his hand well the other one has to be for the holder i don't know why that's a new deal for kickers blinder stopped by butts a loss of two tomorrow here on cbs again the giants in the playoffs entertain the cardinals they had a tough time with them first time around 13-6 i think with the score well if you're going to be a championship team if you're going to be a super bowl team like the giants have a chance to be you can't have trouble with teams like the cardinals if you can't beat those guys then you don't belong there second down at 12 for the broncos elway back to throw steps up down in the middle intended for gerald wilheik well covered joe collier on the sideline looking at the defensive alignments and whatever else concerns him well he's looking to see what the redskins were doing formation-wise you see now those are the polaroids that they took during the first quarter those are all the redskins formations that he has to adjust his defenses too so he'll have like first down second down third and long third and short goal line all the situation on picture third and 12. elway retreats [Applause] into the end zone incomplete he had pants johnson he just couldn't get it to him he was open and well open i'll tell you he drilled that ball he found vance johnson vince johnson has great speed he's coming across that end zone but watch watch elway in his throw he gets flushed out now when he gets flushed out here he's more dangerous in his in the pocket now he finds vance johnson watch him drill that i thought i thought that he had a chance to get it but he didn't the ball bounced in front of him kubiak is holding that was his helmet that carlos had a minute ago because carlos doesn't wear the uh kodiak doesn't wear the helmet on the side carlos is not good from 48 yards out and the redskins still lead 13 to nothing with 7 49 left to play in the first half and i think that's the most important thing in these last two weeks is these teams that are in already established themselves as getting better not just holding on rogers is the straighter face to him anthony jones has it bounce to the ground and he's down rick dennison was the bronco defender mention that the cowboys still mathematically at least although it's very slim have a chance skins lead at 13-nothing but he took a a vicious hit right on the knee well it was number 55 rick dennison after jones drops the ball here doesn't get it drops it look he's standing there now denison 55 comes in and hits him right on the knee and it looked like that hit you know that foot the right foot was planted and he got hit right on the knee now the foot didn't give the only thing that could give is a joint and they're putting one of those braces right now on jones's knee let's see the first thing they want to do is immobilize it got a shoe off now the bandage and then the stretcher while they administer here's the playoff picture in the afc the division leaders right now offensive scheme i should say along with donnie warren they played two at all times and that's been their football now they only have one in there with three wide receivers straighter draw play to brian alvin bryant outside the 35 about the 38 rick dennison made a stop bryant got six here goes anthony jones headed into the locker room you know i think one of the big losses for this team was clint didier because as joe gibbs said it takes two guys to replace them one is a receiver they try and use orr in the receiving and it won as a blocker where they tried to use jones there is didier there's a broken bone in his hand joe gibbs is saying he can't block anybody yet he can catch art monk in motion brian again down the sideline and he lures and let's go on steve foley you're one thing i think we have to mention is the offensive line took a lot of abuse last week but they've come back this week i mean they have really controlled this defense watch his pass protection here whoa boom they got him up there there goes they put roland jones up on jacoby he's taking care of that they're making solid giving schrader time so that kelvin bryant can do this that was a good unload that that registered 19. on any scale rogers is in for brian now and oars in front of him monk is the motion man sanders puts live to the right rogers george rogers trying to get to the outside does for a moment knocked out of bounds by rick dennison after he got four as you look at rulon jones here he's he's their big pass rusher leading sacra the bronco defensive team and they move him around he always plays left hand on running down and then on the passing downs they move him to tackle into the other end that last pass rush he was over there against jacoby this time he's lining up against may down and six redskins leading 13 nothing 6 15 left to play in the first half schroeder all kinds of time intended for monk [Applause] best he could do with that was vetted down he really fired it you know jay schrader when we talked to him last night he was really a confident guy wasn't he i mean he was like you know no worries nothing bothers me yeah got to go out to dinner we met his dad in the lobby his dad looks like a retired defensive nose tackle dad looked like he'd been down there in the pit yes he did yeah big old guy jay was just saying hey look i made some bad reads last week i got to do better yeah but he was trying to laugh third down broncos on a flip somebody might come clean it was monk ass is high over his head dennis smith but again i'm still impressed with the job watch this offensive line it's a four-man rush plus a safety blitz but watch how well they pick it up it's a stunt they're solid there they pass everything pick everything off and let schrader gun that thing out there incomplete kelvin bryant did a heck of a job in dejas with schroeder holding this will be from 53 yards out steve cox usually tries him from this far out but this is in dejas good hold not such a good kick score remains 13 nothing redskins 5 59 left to play first half ball next right now pro football and elway is down in the arms of charles mann redskins second sack that's why you like to have that speed in a defensive lineman you know that when the quarterback breaks away he has the speed to get him and it looks like man hurt himself on that play he asked for help from the sideline i think you may have caught a foot right in that area there man 6-6 seventy [Applause] cook has taken his place marcus cook [Applause] on second down elway retreats again man's right shoulder bothering him rich malott knocked will height out of bounds after enough for a bronco first down redskins leading 13 nothing man had to get back in there you can't the rule number one in the defensive lineman's playbook is never let a quarterback knock you out of the game i mean if the quarterback knocks you out of the game you never get to play again you can't go drafts or shower with the guys unless it's humiliation oh terrible elway draw play to winder he crosses into country stopped by daryl grant again of four that's the thing that you know that dan reeves was talking about and he's really not getting it today as we see sandy winder has rushed four times for 11 yards he wanted to get back get a running game going get a ball control type game going and he hasn't done it yet in his first half mobley now that 265 pounder is put wide to the right but they come the other way or try to and winder's got no place to go as dexter manly comes crashing through and takes weiner down monty coleman helped him out well you're never going to have a chance if you let penetration come like this manly gets five yards into the backfield he took an inside move on dave stutter stutter step to left again to get position and then manly took the inside you always make contact first then get position don't go for position first because that's what happens to you you wind up blocking air if you do that against a guy like manly yeah and then that allows penetration heck manly was five yards in that backfield will height back with elway third down for the broncos they need 17 for a first they paid a little bit of a price too i'll tell you they have to because when you get that thing that locomotive coming across here it's like a prison break watch this thing i mean he's coming across the field going full go see him crossing there boom look it takes three guys one two that third guy didn't want any part of it but two guys got him down orson from salem college 6'5 256 but he is bigger than that well that's what they weighed i mean when they weighed him in two months ago he's 265 now here's hell way back has to step up and we'll have to come out of there go around his ankles but he scrambled for five i think one thing if you talk about this bronco offense and dan reeves says the problems we've had haven't been the running game with our runners or the passing game with our quarterback or receivers he said it's just our line he said we just can't keep the guys healthy last week they lost paul howard their starting right guard this week they're starting with mark cooper but he says we always have a different group in there and that group really has some gel he's a big believer and you've got to have confidence in the guy next to you and that really is a secret that's the thing because when you get the to do going into the game the redskins have done it the broncos have it dan reeves said we've got to be able to run it they're behind 13-0 johnson nailed by tim morrison and vance gets up a little slowly that was interesting the beginning of that play with daryl green going with the man in motion then he had to spin around and come back and they always saw it and got the ball out there johnson may not be happy that he did he watches hit he just he never had a chance just as he turned there was tim morrison i think they're saying that that was a complete pass pat they're spotting the ball right there where johnson was hit redskins are arguing about that i don't know if he had control of it or not there it is listen the official indicates the official on the spot indicated yes it was a catch yeah but i think they have to look at this one an instant replay i don't think it was a catch i don't know that he had control you have to come down to have control both feet moving up the field i'm sure they're doing a review right now now he has a ball i don't know i the word from the booth is that it's inconclusive what's the official now ball goes out of bounds and that official closest rule that it was a catch and the evidence says inconclusive it's a first down broncos you know they always say the official was right on top of it he was i don't think that makes him right all the time being on top of it doesn't mean it's okay and before they can resume we get the two-minute warning start the clock let's get things rolling here elway as the broncos operate from the washington 28. 11. tripped up by morrison gain of 16 and a bronco first down well there's the run what you're gonna run dave butch takes it inside they turn out on man and that's the hole when sammy winder goes in they got butts going to the inside they got man going to the outside and then they ran a draw right between them and they got will height in front of winder blocking on coleman elway back to throw looking throwing corner of the end zone flags are down mark jackson was the target daryl green was back there with him they got all tangled up and flags went down well daryl green's in there arguing that it wasn't him but it's going to go against her in the end zone number 28 defense the ball be placed at the one yard line first down let's look at it's going to happen right down here on the slot man right there they go up they get the bump they're watching the end zone right there yeah daryl daryl green did he went down for his lead he gave him like a clipping motion in fact they're taking daryl green out because it's goal line now but i've never seen a defensive back react like that well he obviously felt it was going to be touchdown if he didn't do something like that so he did bronco it and another flag goes down i think they're going to throw it against the redskins too i think the touchdown will stand oh it's against zimber they called holmen [Applause] the redskins were arguing like it was against them holding number 85 offense still first down holding on joey hackett that he's in motion watch 85 joey hackett he's coming in motion blocking on the end man here [Applause] i guess he reached with his left arm and grabbed but he didn't have to do it no he didn't that's a dumb penalty all he had to do was bump him because will height was already by him oh boy that makes it first and goal from the 11 now elway will go back into the shotgun this is a plan to play gets in so well the extra point rich carlos dubiak holding this would make it 13-7 if it's good that's what it makes it back deep for the redskins carla set to kick off yarber and keith griffin back there with him new names for the redskins carlos kipp is deep to garner and he'll keep it in the end zone 13-7 redskins over the broncos denver nine plays 65 yards kept it 446. elway took it in from 11 yards out the other thing about that plane joe gibbs said last week when the giants scored just before halftime it took all the wind out of them at halftime and the same thing happened this week they had complete control of the game now with just a little over a minute left denver scores and it's a different ball game and that's how they have to go in at halftime a minute 13 remaining redskins with all three of their timeouts remaining this is kelvin brandt spins back inside gets to about the 25 they let the clock run that's an interesting decision because it looks like with all three timeouts that the redskins have decided it's 13 to 7 we want to go in at halftime with that i think you know this crowd gets excited and i think what they want to do is keep them under control not give the broncos another big play before halftime this crowd has come to life now and they can be very vocal traitor just seeing that everybody's got all the information they need they start monk in motion 30 seconds remaining again it's bran and a flag goes down that'll stop the clock steve wilson came over to make the stop after a gain of one and i would think even though that does stop the clock i would think now denver will start taking time out they've only got one left [Applause] but i think with that you know that second down now they'll run again now i think the broncos will take the time out after this player penalty decline third down hart monk limps over the sideline it was he they called for holding and he's in pain he was out there trying to block on steve wilson who was the guy that made the play third and three if they don't get the first i would imagine you're right the broncos will take the timeout they have one remaining redskins are just about out of wide receivers here's brian he's close i think that's going to give him the first down that little spin right at the end pat i think he got the first down so the broncos won't take the time out he gained four and they'll just let it run down now redskins have got right now as they head for the locker room as do the broncos but washington has a serious injury problem they've lost a lot of key people with the score washington 13 denver 7. we'll kick off in the direction of dwight garner eric yarber and keith griffin kick is high and deep garner a yard deep in the end zone to the 24 the quarterback comparison in the first half you can see they're they're pretty close and everything except schrader has the one td throw it for it of course elway has his one he ran for his but look at the distance that they threw but you see either one have been successful deep under 10 yards schroeder got 58 of his yard 10 to 10 12 yards 21 yards and 21 to 30. none in 30 to 40 or over 40. so it's been in that short and middle range area and both these quarterbacks like to get it up field this is rogers over the right side maybe four i think one of the good news part is they start the second half for the redskins has to be that art monk is out there right remember just before the half he walked off with a little injury but he's back now john elway over on the sideline here's what he did in the first half hey look again under 10 yards 52 of his yards 10 to 20 33 25 none in the long two areas which is as i said and john said what both of them like to do rogers big george out to about the 39 a first down a gain of 11. rick dennison tripped him up well he got right in there between r.c tealman and mark may over there in that right side you know tealman is a guy that has really fit in with this team playing right guard is a veteran you know 10 years been traded from atlanta had a reconstructive surgery a real serious injury last year didn't know if he could come back come back starting and playing very well first down washington their own 39. rogers again joe gibbs said we're going to give him some work and they're doing it he got three fletcher on the stock let's watch rc again tealman he's going to he's going to tie right in there to mecklenburg you see him right there turns him to the outside does a nice job that was great craig and he was blocking but he got into him and it turned to the outside and put craig into his knees second at seven and the unpleasant word about anthony jones is that he has torn ligaments in his right knee and he's out for the year second down bart monk can't come up with it incomplete pass dennis smith was the nearest defender monk as you've probably heard irf cross say at the half just got a hit on the shoulder it stung a little bit but he said and told her that he's okay when they're healthy clark and monk the top receding combo in the nfl clark out with a bad ankle third down and seven trailer looking up field no flags clint didier was the intended receiver and he's pointing and gesturing as if someone did something wrong to him but there are no flags well the broncos were gesturing too the traitor threw it away well that's what he's talking about didier had all the right to do that i'll tell you smith hit him hit him in the face and grabbed his arm he had a trifecta against didier well he got his ankle too as he tried to make his cut and that was a quad fracture steve cox back to punt for washington will height will field it got room you heard him saying okay gerald and gerald gets out to about the 28th stop by todd bowles 43-yard point by cox 13-yard return so the redskins net 30 out of that one and denver will take over trailing 13-7 guy isn't he getting rated before christmas uh whether you're naughty or nice he's still there mobley was the man in motion elway fakes gets it outside or some mobile big orson hits my lot after a gain of 13. you're right big orson when i saw him in practice yesterday he was wearing a baseball cap he fakes a block out there and then he goes out for the pass but he's wearing a baseball cap and a sweatsuit i thought he was a tackle just fooling around i remember i asked you who was that guy yeah i thought it was running attacker you see him unload at the end with that right arm shoulder forearm hand and wrist [Applause] will height and winder behind elway first down broncos here comes a reverse vance johnson around the corner gain of about six tim morrison knocked him out of bounds yeah one thing about these receivers of the broncos other than steve watson they all have great speed vance johnson mark jackson the other thing they all end in sun to be here there it is right there all you have to to be a receiver your name has to and the sun watson jackson johnson sampson then if you want to be thrown to as a tight end your first name has to end in sun and that would be awesome yeah look through to him 265 pounds got three balls couple short of a first curtis jordan tripped him up with help from rich malott sami weiner lost that left shoe last week i thought the shoe was a pigeon or a pigeon was a shoe wasn't that something that pigeon was flying out there that ball hit the pitcher left him delirious as you said yeah he staggered around there and stayed right there we had a delirious pigeon on the field at rfk talking about pigeons third and one dan reeves wants something to be changed and he finally gets the attention on the sideline and the broncos do call a timeout bridge was waiting they got 11. watson's on the sideline they discussed it during the timeout ahead to gerald wilheim who stumbled ahead for a gain of nine before he stopped by barry wilburn and the broncos get their first down hey that's the thing they couldn't do in the first half they couldn't get any running game going here they have their short yardage offense now watch it he's going to pop it right up the middle it's a trap play they come across and trap the right guard mark cooper made the trap block and will height broke right off it first down from the washington 42 and all the way back to throw drills it down to will height flag is down a gain of nine they might have hit elway late it's going to be on dexter manly manly was frustrated he got double t watch him here first the tackle blocks of rimsburg he's holding him then the guard comes out and hits him now he's frustrated he's off that and he's going to give a kick he tried to get the left foot to the head number 72 kicking an offensive player first down kicking an offensive player manly has to be frustrated because he missed him he took a kick and he missed see now they're taking manly out because he is frustrated him but he was frustrated with being held then he was frustrated by being double team and now he's just playing mad so he took that size 14 and tried to put it to the head mobley goes in motion elway looks and now he takes off and slides inside the 15. a 5-yard scramble by elway well that one wasn't an organized one the touchdown was an organized draw that one was a scramble now the reds get manly still he's still he's still arguing with the official here's the last play we see he's looking trying to throw right can't find anyone and just scrambles up the middle and takes that slide here comes a message while the quarterback was still in the pocket prior to the scandal first down illegal contact prior to the scandal he said yeah what he meant was that that the illegal contact was now while elway is trying to throw there was illegal contact so now he couldn't throw it it looked like he was on hack at the tight end first and goal from the nine all the way back to throw it again outside it goes to winder calvin daniels right there with him number 56 pickup of three and the winder a little slow and limping up you know one thing about this we talked about the running game and how important it is that a guy like john elway with his receivers he needs that running game just to keep things going to kind of glue everything together when you don't have it you don't score any points then when you get it you start moving the ball the way the broncos are now watson and johnson split wide to the left they go with two tight ends elway gives the winder and winder ties it at 13. so extra point gives the broncos the lead as carlos kicks off short garner feels it at the six is knocked down at about the 21. harden on the stop let's watch a block that mark cooper makes right here on dave fox he gets him going this way then winder gets a big hole this is the guy that made the play right there mark cooper watch him out but straight ahead gets him going gets it going keeps him going look at that hole in there for winder to cut back in santa claus could have took it in that hole like a bowl full of jelly ricky sanders but wide to the left and monk to the right warren moves terry or in the backfield with rogers nothing doing and there might have been a fumble mecklenburg was the first man there i'll tell you if anyone doesn't think that a crowd can can pump up a football team they're crazy look at this you can just feel the intensity level of this bronco defense watcher they're scrambling guys jumping diving waving the whole thing mecklenburg and hundley it was mecklenburg who jumped over the blocker i know it calvin bryant replaces rogers four goes in motion straighter back to throw with time incomplete he was juggling ricky sanders had it but without possession but here that's an optional cut he starts to the inside louie wright has him to the inside so he slides to the outside had it and as he was going out he bobbled it it was a good call he didn't have it well he didn't third down and 12. redskins at their own 20. schrader zou for three this half and he'll have to try it rule again jones out of the blocks in a hurry jacoby might have moved that's what he's going to say that's what did happen that's jacoby he's down there he's not in a three-point set see that little move there when he moved that left hand then that was movement and that said okay you can go round jones comes across the penalty's on the redskins and that'll make it third and 17. they're out in a hurry sanders wide left to the right third down and 17 from the 15. i wouldn't be surprised if i run it here back picked off by mike harden pass intended for ore broncos get it in good shape that's the first turnover today and that's a big one you know that's why i said i wouldn't have been surprised if they run it i'm not second guess i think they had it because they were losing control here this denver bronco team is pumped up you don't want to force anything here i think jay schrader had long yardage he had to force something he forces it there's mike hart he comes up to the interception i think they would have been better running the ball getting things back under control elway asked for quad as the broncos come out at the 36. going right to work running throwing in the direction charles mann in the direction of vance johnson man and manly chasing elway i think elway just threw that ball away i'll tell you he's a tough guy though you know you look at both these quarterbacks they're an awful lot of light i mean they're kind of big tall strong arm blonde-haired blue-eyed guys but they're tough guys i mean they can stand in there and take those hits and then jump up and go and do it again youth may have something to do with that too that's right and not a lot of use or abuse on the body morrison mowgli split down at the bottom of your picture elway looking right as watson and watson gets away from one tackle curtis jordan finally brought him down morrison hurt his hand or his arm it was morrison that watson got away from well he should hurt his hand or his arm the way he tackles there you can't just reach out and grab like that of course he did fall down he did slit before that and watson gave him a little move but that's one thing a defensive back has to be able to cover and the next thing he has to be able to do is tackle in the open field morrison went out [Applause] alvin walton one of the redskins defensive backs as they smother that play right at the line of scrimmage after a gain of one ulkowitz was the first there [Applause] there's morrison over on the sideline i think he got that when he when he when he reached out i think he dislocated a finger on his right hand that's what they're doing they're trying to pop it back in they just take it they just pull it pops right back in there most of the time but it hurts you don't look though second and ten elway drops watson a touchdown but a penalty marker down at the goal line watson came up with a catch barry wilburn was on a man-to-man and it's either going to be against watson or against wilbur that's obvious [Applause] in the air looked like he pinned him with the right hand before the ball got there for the extra point now 19-yard touchdown from elway to watson carlos to make it 21-13 and he does 7 38 now left in the third quarter things happening very quickly and denver up now by eight points 56 yards 56 seconds is all it took elway to watson made it 21-13 carlos signals that he is ready to kick it off garner downs at four yards deep in the end zone let's watch the pass protection pad on the touchdown here we can start it off here we see how they turn out on both sides when you stop it right here now see the line they got this thing turned out turned out on the backside that gives him the lane to throw the ball in we see how they turn everything and then of course look at the other end the great catch by steve watson el boy likes it redskins start from their own 20. seven and a half minutes left third quarter schroeder monk gets his first down gets out of bounds by dennis smith tomorrow on cbs the 49ers against the patriots to other teams with the playoffs in mind new england's chances look better after the jet loss today well and the 49ers you know if they can get healthy they're still one of the best teams oh yeah nfl all you have to do is ask their opponents they don't want to play them first down redskins at their own 37. rogers bounces out of the pile gets up to about the 40 stopped by jim ryan rogers got three you see number 57 tom jackson he was in there too on that play you know tom jackson's been playing in this lake for a heck of a long time in fact this could be his last game his last year 35 years old 14-year veteran he used to hate me he used to come over to the sideline and yell at me then i would yell at him from the sideline yesterday he talked to me i think the reason he talked to me he had the flu i think he tried to give it to me we had the taiwan flu going around here this team just before that you said he was a nice guy well i thought you're a nice guy you know you get out you're not coaching anymore you're not competing everyone forgets you shake hands then i thought you know last time i was here he didn't talk to me this time he'd come over and talk to me you know what he's saying he said there's a lot of flu going around here all the players have it don't talk to any of them don't let any of them breathe on you and then we found out he has it well he hasn't i was talking to him he was breathing on me i like i got a lot of room for flu and stuff it can all fit in there and not even bother anything but i'll tell you i like that i mean i like he's a competitor he's a fiery guy i mean he's that's what it should be i mean you go out and you compete you don't like anyone and you know you just go after it redskins did not get the play off they took too much time 30-second clock expired and the flag came flying that'll make it third and long prior to the snap offense still third down i'll tell you you know you know we talked just before halftime remember where they where the broncos got their first touchdown a week ago that happened when the giants got a touchdown just before halftime against the giants it took a lot of wind out of their sails and i think it did the same thing here today no doubt third and seven they're back at the 40 now straighter up under the center heart monk in motion broncos put a blitz on monk dives and can't come down with it dennis smith was the nearest defender schroeder was under pressure i'll tell you though schroeder did make a heck of a throw i mean he was back there he had a little pressure on him and he he threaded that needle between two defenders in dartmont the pressure coming from his backside from both roulon jones and carl mecklenburg but he got rid of it now watch the throw i mean he threats that thing right in there look there's a defender on the outside inside and he throws it right through monk should have had that ball will hide back deep for denver cox's kick is a rocket takes a bounce bounces backwards and they down at about to nine monty coleman is down to down it 51-yard punt by cox takes the good bounce 5 40 left third quarter at the playoffs gene lamb and winder are the running backs winder nothing doing loss of one the minnesota vikings still with playhoff playoff hopes too play houston 3 30 eastern time it begins with the nfl today you know of all those teams that are in it for that last wild card spot in the nfc looks like minnesota could have the best shot to be there [Applause] jerry burns in his first year as a head coach up there has done a heck of a job he really has they have become a good solid team [Applause] winder and lane behind elway john retreats to the end zone gets it out to winder from behind by neil oakley with a gain of nine kelvin bryant over on the bench they took him into the locker room at the half i assume for x-rays and then he came back out i think he has to be hurt and i don't think you'd be that down with this score in this situation of the game i think there's some there's some injury he has something's bothering him and it's not the score in the situation [Applause] third and two at the 16 as elway brings him out will height now as the lone setback redskins showing an all-out rush no way trying to get it outside to vance johnson daryl green out there on the coverage and monty coleman out there to help and he put the pressure on elway i think that was a big series for the defense because they're going to get good ball position here good field position i think that was a big play by daryl green moran will be back to kick eric yarber back deep for the redskins 407 left to play in the third quarter [Applause] broncos using as much of the clock as they can try to get all those redskins picked up they snap it with one second left to go not a good kick yarber up ended by tony lilly but a good return by yarber 39 yards and a 28-yard return i'll tell you that's a great return but a guy could come up and end it up something like that that guy's gonna make all madden for this one watch that there's no fair catches in this deal this guy's only five foot eight just activated for this game watch him and he's a reckless runner what jump dive twirl spin whatever oh and hold on to it throughout that yeah that's a good look look he's happy i mean that helmet hardly fits the head just activated the redskins as you said do indeed have it in good shape inside the bronco 30. george rogers behind terry orr in the backfield roger picked up a couple andre townsend made the stop see i think that was a big series when you go back to look at this game that was a big series when the redskins could hold them without a first down keep them down there quieted the crowd down noticeably yeah then then they get good feel they get a good punt return now they can get back into this game kelvin bryant back in the game monk is wide right sanders wide left second and eight two tight ends lined up side by side they come in that direction to brown france spins down to about the 21. friggin on the stop gain of three for those of you who might not know pittsburgh beat the jets earlier today 45-24 abercrombie had three touchdowns another long day for o'brien sacked five times intercepted three times jets just can't get on track they started off 10-1 and now they can't do anything right third and five big down here schroeder checking the defense starts monk in motion you'll be looking at him flag down monk had it lost it tony lilly on the coverage but it's going to be a holding penalty against the redskins that had to be one that was late that happened right in front of the quarterback because jerry seaman the referee called it and that's usually a late holding because if it's an early one the umpire calls it if it's on the side then the side guy does he'll even use the hands to the face number 73 offense can only be declined fourth down mark may and i was about to ask you if you would decline this yeah see right there mark may gets it right there see now the referee is right behind schroeder see the flag come out he saw that right at the end schroeder stays to hold for zandejas who will try from 41 yards out i would think that i would make zendejas kick it yeah i i think this is a very very shaky kicker from 41 yards out straighter to hold good snap no good kick broncos will take over 219 left third quarter that's worse than a very shaky kicker that could be close to being gone kicker i think it happened in the in in san francisco he just you know got all shook up about that brass and then he's playing here on grass and i don't know that he can even get the ball up over the line anymore watch it this is a line drive hook i mean that didn't even have a chance in fact i wouldn't be surprised if the redskins had another shot here i wouldn't be surprised if they let steve cox [Applause] draw play and the redskins smothered gerald wilhite just as soon as he gets the ball a loss of three it's manly and ulkowitz who read the draw play you know one thing with with jay schroeder even though he doesn't have gary clark in there in his arm you don't want to put this thing into uh cruz too soon i'm talking about the broncos i mean i don't think you want to get too conservative too soon that's always a mistake a mistake too often made no way drops back to throw it incomplete intended for will hype covered by mulat going back to the game summary the broncos have scored 21-8 straight points jones and clark are out again for the redskins and dejas has had a long afternoon well you know that's eight points one was a long field goal and six points in the field goal in the extra point so it's third down elway again it's a planned draw play and this time he is hammered by monty coleman looking for some place to go and denver will have to punt well and the and the redskins again are going to get good offensive position this defense is doing the job now to keep that position now the offense has to take advantage of it once they get out there yarber goes back deep michael horan is punted five times today average 44. that's good enough but the last one yarber almost broke put the redskins down in field goal [Applause] [Music] range that is 35 into a pack of broncos back to the 45 a return of 10. washington takes over its own 45 38 seconds remaining in the third quarter that's the real thing i wonder is there anyone up there that there's no people we put some stuff up there we never put any people out there there's some stuff up there there's no guys up there like watching the game or anything not knowing supposed to be one guy up there there is a guy up there the man you know a man sanders the bronco 35. yeah i wouldn't i wouldn't want to i never want to go up there you know a lot of people say someday i want to go you can put in your thing i'm not going i'm not one of them they can have it not me i i have trouble on trains now i guess what's going to say there's no trains going up there no i don't i i went through sing-sing the other night in a prison break they wouldn't let you out of there even that's the end of the third quarter with the score denver 21 washington 13. and we now pause for a word from your local station where the broncos lead the redskins 21-13 redskins give to rogers rogers cuts back right side down to about the 31. ricky hundley tripped him up after a gain of four their favorite play know the redskins have plenty of time but they're down eight points meaning that they need two scores and this is where i'm sure they wish they had gary clark second down and seven they're at the bronco 31. they're probably going to run again kelvin bryant usually comes in in the passing and rogers in for the run rogers is the deep back roulon jones after schroeder passes ruled incomplete sanders saying i had it louie wright the defender steve cox getting ready putting on the square toe and indeed if they have to kick again it would seem it's going to be cox you know he's trying to bring ricky sanders back and he did he brought him back too much and he one hopped it in there he had the pressure from roulon jones he had to let go now brian's in have had good pressure but they have yet to sack schrader today at the intended receiver incomplete they put the pressure on again here comes cox you know we would know one thing that cox can't get it that distance [Applause] he's had a 55-yarder earlier in the year made a 57-yarder as well he's got the leg and then with this altitude you know that he can get it there this will be 48. you got it 21-16 [Applause] 1407 left in the contest and denver lead is now five steve cox who just hit the 48-yard field goal will kick off a knuckler gonna be tough to handle makes its way into the end zone and they keep it there does gene wang well you don't see that much but dean hamill is on the kickoff and punt coverage of these redskins he's already made a couple tackles today but there's a big 275 pound guy running down on chips and he's usually one of the first ones down there i know and he got some some some stuff there watch him now the thing's out of the box he just looks for a guy to run over they just bump into them and say well what are you doing on this team [Music] [Applause] 25 to the 26 and a gain of six hulk stripped him up i'll tell you the left guard chief bishop got a good block i think you'll see dave butts is going to come through watch spots here he's coming through cm65 now watch bishop there just knock him down when he was getting ready to make the play and then that's what opened the hole you know that keith bishop's a pretty good looking guy for an offensive lineman he sure is usually they're not good looking well they don't work at it much elway demark jackson on the money daryl green stopped him for the bronco first down a gain of 17. there we have jackson out here now again he has great speed and great quickness you know he he's one of those guys that can run full speed and still make a move off of it so he's going to be something he's only a rookie but he has all those abilities that you have to have someday i think he'll be the starter and someday i think he'll be a star in this league he's got those same attributes that a duper and a clayton have [Applause] rob right ulkowitz the first to hit him a gain of two when you run in there in that middle of that line and you have dave butts there and daryl grant on the other side and okowitz in the middle you're running into a real strength so you have to do things you have to like trap them you have to influence them you have to do things because you just can't overpower them second and eighth wilburn comes out with watson to elways right [Applause] they never got the ball snapped everybody left and the ball was still there yeah that's the center i mean he's the guy that knows you know he can never be offsides false start prior to the snap number seven offense sometimes the quarterback gets up there fat and he forgets the starting count you know and he'll start out there and that's what happened elway started out butts was on the center's nose billy bryant so of course when elway moves and butts can go and brian probably said oh no [Applause] when your quarterback moves you're the senator all you can do is just kind of hunker in there and take it and that's exactly what he did second at 13. looking almost caught by mobley he got one hand on it monty coleman was covering him okay here we here we go here we see a double team see brian this time has to pass protect but cooper started out on him then brian goes the play is over butts gives one more boom brian gives one more butts gives one more there's about three loads after the play third and thirteen pressure on elway man chases he gets it to mark jackson does elway and that's going to be a little bit shy of a first down i don't know that it is it depends on how they mark this i think it is the first jackson did a heck of a job he was right in front of that marker and he just stood there so did elway do a heck of a job yeah he throws it but watch him just stand there so he didn't work back so he had the first down he's working on wilburn here i watch him he gets back there now he goes back to the sideline just stands right there he can't work back anymore he'd lose the first down that's an excellent play by both winder is the lone setback and that's mobley in motion all the way [Applause] week after week it was set up with great pass protection the bronco line in this second half have really come on they had a blitz they gave elway time look what he could do here's watson working against barry see he wilburn in there and then he let him get deep now i would think there should have been a safety over there wilbur looked like he was playing short expecting deep help watson goes left along with mark jackson this time [Applause] and sammy weiner scrambles out of the pack and gets down to about the 13. four tough yards rich malott brought him down finally [Applause] let's see that play again the big play here's steve watson here's wilburn wilburn hits him here and lets him get by it looks like he expected something over here that he didn't get watch it down here in the bottom see he gets the bump now watson gets beyond him looked like that safety was going to come over he took a bad angle and didn't get over the same thing happened to him last week against the giants [Music] looking right mark jackson and about the one daryl green was the closest a gain of 12. i said mark jackson was going to be a star in the lake someday that day maybe now today wait h.o.y i think today clock running nine and a half minutes left to play jackson has four catches for 51 yards packet and mobley the two tight ends lined up to the right rimsburg and stuttered to the left stutter from the outside a lot of popping going on in there gerald wilheim attempting to get in and he didn't monty coleman made the first hit for the [Music] redskins i'll tell you the redskins have had two tough weeks [Applause] they're a team they already know they're in the playoffs they have to be wondering what they're going to do they need to get some people well is one of the things they need to do broncos are in and play for the home field advantage throughout the playoffs it is tammy winder into the end zone broncos second touchdown for number 23 and the crowd is back on their feet carlos for the extra point with kubiak [Applause] holding into the net watch joey hack at number 85 lead he's going to lead a trap right there winder is running off the track he has a hole into the end zone and so with eight and a half minutes left to play the broncos now lead 28-16 over the redskins the barefoot on the kickoff right garner in the middle the redskins keith griffin to his left and holds to his right hit the ground behind it garner will operate hit from behind by hundley eric dennison brought him down now there's a guy hustling out there to get the tee i like that turn it on now believe that face i mean that's determination bring it back give me five nice going i'll tell you he's proud of himself i got it what a job he wants to get some hits going back for some oxygen washington ball kelvin bryant in the game washington and their own 23. schrader will have to throw it almost every down from here on and does to didier and clint gets to the 45 a gain of 22 randy robbins on the stop tomorrow on cbs the nfl today that's one of the games you'll be seeing the 49ers at new england it begins at 12 30 with the nfl today clock is running redskins hurrying denver leading 28-16 [Music] [Applause] [Music] in the end zone for the redskins a strike from schroeder from 55 yards out dennis smith was the nearest denver defender but a shot from schweiter tomorrow i'll tell you with the arm that jay schrader had and we said this earlier that you can't start to sit on the lead the broncos did the broncos just scored and then the redskins come right back watch outside monk there is hit by louie wright early smith is the second guy in that zone he lets monk get behind him and i'll tell you with monk behind him and schrader's arm you know it's going to be a touchdown sendejas in to try the extra point schrader will hold that one's down the middle [Applause] 28. 23. seven and a half minutes left to play uh marker down on the extra point however offside number 49 defense extra point is good five yard penalty will be assessed on the succeeding kickoff but dennis smith had two tough plays a touchdown pass over then he lines up offsides washington keeps it close 28-23 denver leads ken bell and gene wang back deep for the broncos and steve cox all set to kick off for the redskins another line driver that bounces over the head and out of the end zone cox kicking off that time from the 40 after the penalty on the extra point [Applause] jay schrader clint didier new record and he broke the record held by that man sonny jurgensen no one ever threw it better he does radio i don't think sonny knew that was broken i think he's just here and now they're sonny he just broke your record huh oh sonny just heard it what not supposed to do that jackson in motion elway going back to throw and complete intended for jamie hackett joey hackett sorry looking for a flag but there are none it could be slippery out there fat because joey hackett fell down and uh curtis jordan fell down and one other defender fell down there were like three guys fell down all around that ball that stretch of the field is pretty well worn [Applause] 28 23 excuse me this field is one of those new grass prescription turf field or something and they have heaters underneath it a lot of fancy stuff here all the way back to zero game looking for mowgli and he comes down with it big orson mobley he didn't know the ball was anywhere close to him that was a great adjustment though a great sight adjustment you see monty coleman a linebacker number 51 is isolated on him out here as a wide receiver look at that ball is thrown right up over his right shoulder that was a heck of an adjustment and see they can't put a defensive back on him because already got their defensive backs or corners on two wide receivers so they put mobley out here and then the redskins have to counter with that linebacker winder and lang are the two runners now clock running elway will take his time the 30-second clock got down to eight before he did anything and winder goes to the 45-yard line of the redskins rich malott tripped him up winder got three well you know what that pass did that that got the broncos out in a position where now if they don't make the first down or if they can't kick a field goal at least they're going to back the redskins up and make them have to drive the length of the field so that was a big play second and seven 28-23 denver leads watson comes wide to the right jackson goes to the left they use two tight ends low blue is the main emotional he is hit and hit hard by alvin walton that pass completion only got a yard but it keeps the clock running you know it's one thing we had the story about clarence k who's a normal starting tight end for the the broncos and he was suspended by dan reeves and he was put on a reserve list for for drug use and but maybe that's maybe that's something that's helping this team i mean maybe if kate were here you wouldn't see mowgli doing what he's doing or a hack at playing i mean sometimes these guys are making big plays and the reason they're playing is because k is on reserve that'll make it third and six four wide receivers for the broncos elway underneath charles mann the third sack you know that's that same place elway slips in that same area where the receiver slipped watch him now he sees the rush coming too there's a big rush he starts to get back he just slips his knee just went buckle right up from under you see i think they had him anyway they had him surrounded and man was right in front of him oh yeah he was he was going to go down one way or another whether he caused it or they caused it loss of 11. moran back to kick and eric yarber standing back at the 10 for the redskins 28-23 the score broncos leading four and a half minutes left to play bearcat signal the redskins will take over at the 16. first and ten redskins a 44-yard punt by horan make it the 11 yard line instead of the 16 that's where they'll start from offensive unit out a trail by five with still enough time remaining and all three of their timeouts remaining the playoff picture you know the team that has to be the most excited right now are those new york giants i'm sure they're watching this they play tomorrow but if the redskins lose then they would clinch the eastern division today sanders is wide left wide right straighter back hit kelvin bryant tom jackson was the nearest defender that ball could have been caught should have been caught i think it went right through his hands and hit him on the shoulder pad let's look at it again it looks like it hit him right on the left shoulder didn't it came popping out of there i mean that's one thing schroeder does drill the ball it just goes right through his hands and his shoulder path same formation didier and warren the two tight ends lined up side by side they're over on the right straighter back to throw rulon jones in his face for didier pass picked off by mike harden his second interception of the day still more room for harden run down from behind by art monk that should lock it up he was trying to hit clint did here watch videos the inside guy coming right down here right down the middle now he's phantom man by smith harden is the safety hardened reason comes over didier had smithby that's who schrader was looking at but he didn't see hard 31-yard return with the interception by hardin first down broncos at the 15. winder and will height winder over the left side no gain tripped up by daryl grant jay schroeder showing a little frustration off these last two weeks i think you'd have to well you know that was his second one he had six interceptions last week i know what he saw that time he saw didier he sought dennis smith on a man-to-man he saw a man-to-man and he thought he had smith beat but he didn't see harton who was sitting back there as a free safety who came across second and now about 11 at the 15. winders the lone setback watson is out to the right he always looks in that direction now throws it away he did throw that one away he threw it darn there into the south stand he sent that ball in to be x-rayed look he's going like that i think that means runner i think what he means is give me some runners doesn't that mean when you go like that that's what it means to me i don't think he wants to come out of there i think he has his receivers which would be like four wide receivers or his runners which would be running back he would want to be careful here of an interception of course with the score 28-23 and he has two running backs in there so that's what he was asking for running backs a field goal here would mean the redskins really had some work to do [Applause] got a man open it was jackson but he couldn't get it there now carlos will come on this will make it if carlos is good 31-23 and that missed extra point earlier in the game looms as a factor once again once you miss an extra point in any football game it always seemed to come back to haunt you and because of that they really didn't have to force the touchdown here they could be satisfied with the field goal this will be from 32 yards out for karmas 3 14 left to play [Applause] carlos is perfect and now they increase the lead to eight see anybody sitting down i don't see anyone leaving either high kick and deep to dwight garner right after the goal line and cut down into 20. randy robbins knocked him down we started off slowly at mile high stadium here in denver but since then the scoreboard has been clicking and denver just scored again 31-23 they lead elway's throne for one rushed for one anthony jones and gary clark both receivers for the redskins clark their outstanding wide receiver have been injured he has a bad left ankle and is out heard it early and then obviously he's hurt the redskins and jay schroeder kelvin bryant behind straighter this time exactly three minutes left to play straighter back to throw monk open mike harden twisted him down a gain of 27 they'll move his sticks monks had a big day redskins are going without a huddle because again with just a little over two minutes they have to think in terms of two scores they need a touchdown and a field goal they have all their timeouts remaining clock is running straighter back didier to the bronco 40. and again they line up in a hurry this telecast is presented by authority the national football league is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcasts or other use of this telecast without the express written consider the denver broncos and the national football league is prohibited slater back again incomplete intended sanders tony lilly applied the leather he applied all the leather he had tony lilly was in there saw sanders coming to the inside and he really teed off on him watch lily he's number 22 that's what those safeties any time a receiver comes to the inside they want to make a pay watch lily unload look he paid one second ago they got one more play before the two minute warning then they have all three time after meeting get here at about the one foot line clint didier playing with a broken bone in his right hand down at the one foot line by randy robbins a gain of 39 and this one isn't over didier has always been a big play guy for these redskins remember joe gibbs said last night he's not going to be able to block because he can't hit but we can use him as a receiver he bounced into the end zone they spotted it at the one foot line described you got jumbos and you got your light and medium and this is the old heavy jumbo they had to just push the whole thing back into the end zone george rogers is the deep back he'll carry the ball more than likely roger i don't think he made it these are big plays for the bronco defense because they have to take off because they want the redskins to have to use time or timeouts because the redskins need this then they need another score rogers again didn't make it again reagan was the first man there and that precious time clicks down the redskins taking time out there's no one that plays better goal line than the denver broncos we're talking to joe gibbs about that last night that's what he say said they practice in training camp 15 minutes a day just on goal line charging he said he's never heard of anyone else ever doing that he said we have some stuff for it something special but they are really tough and they always have been they always have been the broncos have always played and that's joe collier who's always been here i've always played the best gold line defense that's ever been played kansas city was tough at one time so was pittsburgh redskins had it first and goal at the one foot line and now it's third and goal from the one foot long well the big thing that it did has taken time off the clock one it's also made them use one timeout which they didn't want to do because the longer it takes the more they're going to be forced to go for an onside kick and they scored right away and kept their time out they wouldn't have onside kick now by not scoring they're using their timeout i think they're gonna have to onside kit if they do score when i think if they do score we're gonna see some of those special things that joe gibbs was talking about i don't know what they are it may be a pass to one of those jumbos could be rogers is the defect they fumble the snap rogers gets him nevertheless he almost dropped the ball for the second time on the exchange from the center and that may have set something up okay jay schrader's come up with a couple big plays on those things that's what you get for having a big strong hand you can do that that falls out there but he's able to grab it get it out falling down tripping and still get that ball to george rogers i'll tell you that was a great play by jay schroeder look at that fumbling the ball falling down tripping and getting it out there he just disappeared for a minute extra [Applause] and you go back to the early time after the first ritzkin touchdown and this is a difference i'll tell you and that thing just sits up there the whole game i think that those guys are on his right will shift over to this side some kind of he's lined up as if he is coming in this direction broncos obviously expecting it [Applause] through the pack and fielded by wilheim on the fly he doesn't take any chances i have no idea what that was that's what joe gibbs is saying he said well what was that we didn't have a chance let's because didn't have a chance to get that i don't understand that one it wasn't a regular deep kick nor was it an on side well that'll make you shake your head it'll make the flight a little bit longer going back here's his reaction to that kit [Applause] that's wayne severe he is discussing it with if you could call it that a minute 24 remaining winder and will height behind elway redskins with two timeouts left back got seven maybe eight curtis jordan tripped him up from the redskins call their second timeout so they have one remaining the coordinating producer of the nfl on cbs is charles h milton iii our cohesive producer robert d stenner directed so capably and ably as always by sandy grossman the nfl today's staff and our staff you look at all that list we travel a pretty good package don't we well i mean you can't say all those guys were here see some of those guys were in the studio too that are on this we did have one guy that was on there who's the associate producer richie science and today's his birthday so i think we can say happy birthday to richie zions he's getting at an age now we're asked to start calling himself richard and has to stop keeping track of birthdays yeah it has to wear uh regular shoes and stuff maybe someday he'll be richard science the third or something right i'll tell you i think these redskins did what they had to do today pat i mean they're they're not good but i think that you know they had some tough things happen to him offensively i think they came back and got that in today elway takes it straight ahead the redskins take their last timeout they stop the clock with a minute 12 remaining and that's all they can do elway got the first down did you see gerald wilheim he did a backflip standing back by the huddle that's how you celebrate the crowd the crowd starts to get fired up and that's will heights celebration so he just has a back flip back in the hut look he's checking his back used to be able to do that when you're a rookie you get a little older it gets harder to celebrate he looked like greg louganis back there but i think he's played the giants right now pat as winning the eastern division well i remember that's another game you'll see tomorrow important to dallas there faint hope still alive and minnesota in that same boat bill parcells i remember saying to us earlier in the year you know i'm not sure about my team i'm not sure how good they are i think the doubts should be removed i think so especially when when he can beat the redskins twice you know when he can beat him at home and then at their place when he can do that thing they should joe gibbs knows he's going to be there he wants to be peaking as he goes in with the injuries it's going to be tough he needs to get a lot of people well the broncos 31 the redskins 30 and now they shake hands dan reeves and joe gibbs good friends been a trouble week for dan reeves what with the clarence k situation but nevertheless they win by one over the redskins 31-30
