1987 Broncos 4-2-1 at Bills 3-4

I love to throw the ball deep when I was in high school you always had the guys and always that's what he want to do is run along here let me throw you the past 65 70 yards on the field and that usually might in mind it because my receivers in mind I could foresee as far as being a pro quarterback because I always wanted to do that but being in the situation I am now I really look back on it you say did you ever think he'd ever come to this especially now being the highest paid player in professional football that's something I've never even dreamed about yes I think so Jim Kelly is the prototypical fan sir but John Elway is Houdini in a helmet because he can run he has the ability to turn a broken plate into a touchdown now somewhat overshadowed by the quarterbacks today is the fact that at long last the highly regarded linebacker Cornelius Bennett he figured in the Dickerson deal last weekend is set to make his debut now on the NFL in the bills uniform the bills paid a heavy price to Bennett but he's the perfect prescription for the ailing young Buffalo Bills defense the three-time All America from the University of Alabama is considered a franchise defensive player but that with college this is the National Football League on the sidelines wearing a Bills uniform for the very first time there is Cornelius Bennett you know he's got to be a happy man after a week's practice he hasn't had contact on the football field for some ten the wind very definitely a factor we've had gusts in excess of 25 miles per hour you can see the goalposts moving in the wind it definitely will affect the kicking and passing game in this one today in fact member won the toss and is elected to take the win and they will kick off and it will be the bills receiving this kickoff sponsored by Budweiser the king of beers Rob Riddick in the deep spot along with Steve Tasker awaiting the alley opening kick from Rich Carlos as the Broncos who come into this one for two and one wanting to get back into Super Bowl four needing the victory on the road with a tough schedule ahead go against the bills who are three and four coming into this one today in Buffalo here at Orchard Park expecting a crowd in the vicinity of 65 to 70 thousand line drive kick down the middle master for the bills trying to find Running Room out just across the 20-yard line but that's about it so Kelly and company go to work for the first time and they'll go to work into the wind Kelly and his fine supporting cast Harmon Byram in the backfield Burkett read and metzelaars the tight end are the receiving corps and in the line a big question mark today Leonard Burton who fills in for the ailing will Wolford had an ankle sprain last week early in the game against Washington and Burton had his hands full with Dexter Manley today he has to contend with ruling Joe [Applause] getting seven yards on the initial carry checking the defensive alignment now for the Broncos Gilbert gives back after being away with an injury Townsend goes back to nose tackle and we mentioned Jones the all-pro on the right side the line backing for Mecklenburg and other all-pro here they haven't had the sex that they would like but not a major concern to Dan Reeves its Harmon again this time nothing working and a penalty marker is down on the play so the first mistake of the game number 61 offense five-yard Leonard Burton the aforementioned left tackle filling in for will Wofford getting the false start so in his anxiety and he was anxiousness to get off the mark today he just made a mistake that is cost his club five yards check the defensive backfield now for the Broncos Hanes and harden on the corners Randy Robin starts today while the injured Dennis Smith in that secondary it suffered an injury last week in the shower victory against Detroit Harmon for the first straight time right side again picks up yard or a few and that's about it our D factor for the Buffalo Bills they must control the line of scrimmage they are going to have to run the football effectively because the Denver Broncos are one of the finest defenses in the league against the pan opponents have been able to run and run successfully against Denver from the 27 yard line third down the bills were unable to run the ball virtually at all last week as they launched to Washington 21 yards for the ballgame Kelly for the first time completes the fast at the 30 the grasp of Rick Dennison I am the first one picks up seven as he goes to the air against the wind ridic number forty is a fine all perfect [Music] yard line he comes up with the first first down see the Riddick has had a productive season in the seven games thus far for the bills with seven total touchdowns both as a rusher and a receiver [Applause] only 21 yard last week on the ground and always showing us something strong Byron and if the bills do business like this on the ground with Jim Kelley's passing ability we went have a ball game close to the 11 yards on that pickup for the 2nd first down on this opening drive bill metzelaars the tight end penetration that time by Simon Fletcher number 73 popping in there along with Jim Wyeth there are the corners as far as they line backing core is concerned for the defense you see Fletcher their four defensive team is stopping the offense on first down stopping them for them for no gain then the defense can implement its nickel pass defense and as I said the December bro-code are the best of the business at this Simon Fletcher had been a defensive end until this season and was moved outside now as a linebacker he in on that stop second down needed for the birds short of midfield [Applause] take this the first [Applause] good for the first down our a couple of years ago somewhat disappointing last year but with the departure of Greg bailed in the big trade Ronnie Harmon Harmon get around the outside people sometimes question his speed but look at that good move he hesitated Tony Lilly hesitated too and I think he was able to pick up the first down you see what the bills did on the ground last week already today Hartmann three carries 23 yards exceeding the entire team performance last week viral this time struggling straight ahead not much working again on the right side of the line behind Paul Vogler and Devlin Buffalo Bills apparently had been watching a lot of film of the Denver defense because we've got Jim Kelly and he's not dropped back to throw the football the one pass to Riddick and you know they expect to beat the Broncos if they're going to beat them at the line of scrimmage with that good offensive line saw Dan Reeves here's bard levy his counterpart at age 59 those reeds in his seventh year at age 43 [Music] [Applause] situation with Jim Kelly because it's not third and three or four where he can utilize Rob Riddick out of the backfield he is going to have to look to one of the wide receivers probably and preferably Tremaine Johnson whom was acquired in a trade with the San Diego charges if he comes in the ballgame look for him [Music] [Applause] so Kelly who had three interceptions last week throws an interception on his second pass of the day against the win and Tony well two things you play right into the hands of the Denver Broncos nipple pants defense when you have to throw the ball also the Broncos did a good job of scouting the bills because they know also that Kelly likes to go to read in that situation Jim Kelly should not have grown that past 23 yards on the return the second interception of the season for Lily and the Broncos with their hands on the football for the first time start [Music] the lone setback winder on the first carry straight ahead to the 40-yard line as he picks up quick let's take another look at that interception edge the most pants offenses from the professional level they're going to go to the inside receiver that's Reed now once the double coverage see he was running right into a defense and that was an excellent defensive called by Joe Collier though the ball at the 40 yard line winder the workhorse last week in that shutout victory against the Detroit Lions by a score of 34 to nothing Sammy last week rushed for nearly [Music] [Applause] before Sean McMahon II can knock him down let's take a look now at this Bronco offense Elway of course is the mastermind is the quarterback and he has winder and Lange in the backfield winder replacing Gerald Wilhite who suffered the broken leg Johnson Jackson and Kay are the primary receivers the offensive line you've got a lot of experience Larry Lee filling in in this particular instance for the injured Bryant and of course injuries have been applied too familiar theme as far as the Broncos were concerned agree with Brian Steve Watkins will - [Applause] once again trying to get the first down let's go be close he needed a couple of yards Bill's indicating that he may not have made it but of course set may be hopeful Shane colognian on the stop and still be waiting to get our first look at Cornelius Bennett's in action today Marv levy said that it might be 10 or 12 plays but you sometimes figure it might be more than that Reggie you have to get a player like Bennett in the ball game as quickly as you can when you think you can utilize his skills at this point he hasn't had a training camp he hasn't played football in ten months if you know what I think this presents for the Buffalo defense means the same as Jim Kelly's presence it last year for the Buffalo offer to the spot they didn't even bring yards short for the bills [Applause] the emotion Elway straight-ahead has the first down easily and again the versatility of that quarterback that's the dimension we talked about John Elway that maybe no other quarterback has today in the game I'm sure that no other quarterback has if the ability to take things upon himself and get it done by running the football one of the bills shaken up and I believe it's Eugene marf and Marv starting for the injured ray Bentley so that could be a problem for the bills we'll check on it we'll be back in just a moment in Buffalo on the right side of the screen the injured player is linebacker Eugene Marv Cornelius Bennett's who of course was just acquired on the Dickerson deal last week here in Buffalo waits on the sidelines but it looks like Tony for Janek is going to replace the injured Marv and I talked with Eugene Marv yesterday asked we're very excited about having an opportunity to start again he had been a starter here for six years until losing his starting position this preseason so this is really going to deplete the middle linebackers of the Buffalo Bills and that's an important position let's check now the ten-minute ticker as they continue to work on Eugene Marvin C who's drawn first blood today Kansas City up over Pittsburgh in this first set of early games around the country and this the eighth week of the NFL action Chicago on top of Green Bay other games scoreless in a big one at Indianapolis today and those scores you can see between Tampa Bay and st. Louis no score here in Buffalo between the Broncos right now concern for the bills is Eugene Mar who suffered a knee injury in the preseason and training camp and that was one of the reasons why he got off to a slow start and read you'd indicated had such high hopes coming in today is gonna go over to the carts and let's see if we can take a closer look right to the center of your screen you'll see number 54 coming from the right and gene Mar [Applause] there it is right there right there Bruce Smith falling on the right leg of Eugene Marv on the right side of your screen that's the big fellow to fall on your knees Gary it is they also may be working I'm not sure if it's if it's on the lower extremity or a fuss also the arm but they're they seem to be hanging on to that left arm and holding it very very carefully as he moved off the Clark now and will go into the locker room for further examination and of course as soon as we have any information pertaining to that injury we'll pass it on to you right now the Broncos at the 31 yard line the first series after the turnover Elway in control no score first quarter here in Buffalo the markets coming right into the middle of the stack of school got a couple of yards to about the 28 yard line John McMahon he was there along with for Janek on the tackle let's take a look at the rest of the defensive alignment now for the bill's been a nice Morrison Smith up front here's the line backing for and now with Eugene Marv out of there you have got Tony for Janek who was activated yet [Music] and you see the defensive backs nate odomes is a rookie that's a young defensive backfield but right now there was holding on the center Larry Lee of the Broncos which has moved the ball back across the 40 to the 41 yard line that's the most destructive penalty in football first down holding changes everything around makes it first and 20 and that's a very difficult situation to overcome for a quarterback with the wind at his back you say yesterday about Bruce Smith he just when it comes to defensive an is surround on the National Football League is about as good as anybody that plays yes superior ability to rush the passer but the problem is they have no one else to rush the passer so that Bruce Smith is often double and triple-teamed that's why when these things are so important and we understand that it is an elbow injury [Music] [Applause] [Music] the footballs white grain was providing this there's also over there and throw the crowd roaring support here for the defensive unit and Cornelius Bennett is coming into the ballgame for the first time that's also a good reason for this reaction there he is fifty-five no time back for 10 months they loved it Vinny Testaverde [Applause] jokes can jump can run cannot run a lot in this game and he just has the knack of making a big play looks like standing back at the 45 now but still with an opportunity throws and completes the fast penalty markers Clarence day was the receiver but a penalty marker down [Applause] [Music] [Applause] dick Jorgensen is our referee today will give us the interpretation [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here's 1l waist all whites Bennett now number 55 he feels some pressure coming from the right side even though he doesn't get it Elway he allows number 95 Sean Magnani to come up inside now watch this by Elliott could move right there getting away from smurfo back inside and having a presence of mind to go back with to look for the line of scrimmage unfortunately he didn't get back far enough so where the penalty makes it fourth down the loss of down and coming on now as Mike Moran who will handle the plumbing chores with the wind at his back and of course will be angling for the sideline opportunity for a run back here little poops kick over here toward the corner beauty oh he put it out at about the two yard line Iran is going to be delighted with that one inside the 23 times this season for 33 yards he drilled this one out and the bills will go up to work against the wind and they'll start deep in their own territory watch John Elway he both had extrasensory perception of tackles there it is he's ducking one I don't know just not that great feel vision [Applause] at their own free yard line with Reid in motion on the ground success in the early series picks up two yards to the five yard line least the bills running game have generated more Honda ground thus far on this one than they did last week as we go back now the ten minutes sicker no changes here along the early games Kansas City with a touchdown advantage against Pittsburgh Chicago got a 59-yard touchdown pass McMahon to Neal Anderson and Indianapolis with a field goal now leading San Diego that's a battle of division leaders they can place off the Hoosier dome in Indianapolis from the five-yard line read again emotion fire on this time the big back loses his way up to the 10 yard line as he pops straight ahead for five yards ruling Jones and Bills head coach Mark levy is sticking to his plan Jerry you know he told us that we don't have a chance against a Super Bowl contending team unless we are capable of running the and the second part of that was he had to have a good special teams play good punting make the field goals when you have to and good kick coverage one of the things that Dan Reeves indicated the very emphatically what we can play catch up football here [Applause] don't want to get into that situation they want to control they add once again the second-year man delighting the home the early going in this one before he was finally knocked down by Randy Robbins and Rick Dennison nine yards on the pickup a lot of teams don't like to use a shotgun formation because it takes away some of the plays that you can run with the quarterback in the backfield but this is one of the plays that's run very frequently from the shotgun it's the inside handoff to Ronnie Harmon look to the left of the screen good block by Jim Richard number 51 Harmon picks up the first down Richard leading away with an excellent block after the 20 yard line now after they started at the three the right side Robins had a diagnosed beautifully Randy Robbins filling in for the injured Dennis Smith wasn't cool one bit but covering metzelaars is a low he is 67 inches tall as the matter of fact he only caught that ball for two yards when he fell down Robbins is 6 - and Meza Lars the former all-american basketball player Division three and Wabash University in Indiana also a heck of a good football player who is caught 14 balls this season [Applause] and off to ridic quickly the closed-down was it didn't work out this telecast today presented by a floor and consented to the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other written use of this telecast without the express written consent of the Buffalo Bills and they is prohibited this game is the property of the National Football League Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bill you're facing a team of superior ability apparently they're going running the football until Denver's constant an indication of salary on the part of this ballclub [Applause] [Music] the 45-yard line [Applause] he had the workers and then he and showed us the nice broken field for bread there aren't a lot of people around the league that know a lot about number forty Rob Riddick but the people here in western New York know that he is a very reliable player look at the division he's a kick runner so he knows what to do with the football when he gets into the open field thing I like about him Justin was he protected that football Gary somebody had a shot at 4:45 [Applause] for salsa when we play last week the football team right now [Music] that means you're being defeated at the point of attack five blocks the Broncos are going to have to get away from some of those blocks and get into the backfield looking down the line of scrimmage going to the left you see the Broncos they're just sliding down the line of scrimmage they're being blocked and if your block you sure can't make tackles until it runners game yardage on [Applause] once again Harmon or possibly to not much working that time ruling Jones was there for the Broncos who do this is a very important ballgame they've got some tough ones coming up they've got Chicago on a Monday night game next week and there been some speculation perhaps this team would be guilty of looking ahead Dan Reeves and his staff have been determined that that's not gonna be the case coming in here today and on the other hand the Buffalo Bills of three and four and they're only a ball game out of first place and they have Cleveland next week and then the Jets Miami and the Raiders show tough schedules coming up for both of these clubs interesting staff there with the Gothel defense now faces bird witty pitstop down this will depend on the spot right at the 35-yard line [Applause] once again Rulon Jones there's a tough decision [Applause] the Broncos down short yardage decent they stop more people in this situation than anyone there it is again look at everybody along the line of scrimmage you see Hardin right there look at those good low penetration they get the good charge they neutralized and make the hit big play right now fourth down and inches first quarter no score [Applause] trying to go over the top I gotta see that again I sure will get an opportunity there's the reaction of head coach horribly the other sideline and he needed about four inches and he may have gotten five sometimes the biggest plays in football are for the least amount of yards we didn't get a chance to see it right then but Holly was trying to stand him up and it was close there wasn't any question about it but they got what they needed first down at the Denver 35 read nearside Burkett farside metzelaars the motion back this time the Jamie Mueller for the first time at the 20-yard line second turnover and Jamie Mueller the rookie out of Benedictine a great effort but he ended up losing the football with Freddie Gilbert we just can't afford to play that way against the Denver Broncos era Super Bowl team they know how to take the ball away from teams during adversity so a drive that started on the three results in the turnover at the 20 I judge Mueller who just fumbled the ball being consoled by his teammates the long [Music] [Applause] what defensively in this series Fred Smurfs in on that tackle for the bills the bills are young but they're not without enthusiasm you saw on that play they had four people into the backfield they're getting good penetration against the Broncos the Broncos are going to have to neutralize that bills charge at the line of scrimmage and on the sidelines you can see right near Marv lady somewhat shielded from across 20 Leah's point we saw him in action on the previous series for the first time in the bills uniform the pitch out common to Stewart [Applause] huge look like it might work the bigger yardage but very quickly rookie out of Wisconsin and he has been getting some and Harold with notices here trying to help strengthen their secondary totems the good man and man Subaru has got outstanding speed and even tell us when he gets beat desi stoked he knows how to come back and finish down [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they need six and it is on the field defensively now great for school penetration and pressure that time force dealt wait a hurry just a little bit I'm not saying this just because thinit attend the football game but I've never seen a linebacker look at the speed right through everybody John is not ready to throw the ball that ball before the wedding back that force is a kicking situation with the wind at his back my Koran now get set to [Applause] 37 yard line so the bills have been able to do the job despite a couple of costly first quarter turnovers and he is off the kitchen look at this the win all the way through the end zone there is a penalty marker down however that was a 76 yard punt and they're going to bring it back 76 yards the longest in her ins career was 75 and the longest this season 53 but we told you the wind would be a factor and now you know why not even the mile-high wind from Denver has been as gracious to her ran as the winds in the winds are Randee Robbins from the special teams at time on the punt team guilty of behold and so that takes it back and Moran will try again Ron Pitts are standing back there at the 35 and he's looking up at a bullet flying over his head and I think he was somewhat concerned because I think he feels that Pitts has to get back there and field that football because if he gets that football there's a lot of room to run because the coverage team is nowhere near a punt that long to see the numbers on his returns thus far this year's seven attempts and 17 the longest route [Applause] the coaching staff I ran this time stands back we'll find out this one's a much shorter pitch backpedals fielded at the 33 yard at midfield and pulled down at the 46 yard line [Applause] Arthur is down Randy Robbins who was guilty of the penalty that forced the second kick in on the tackle with Simon Fletcher on that return 22 yards after a 53-yard punt we'll get the indication of who pays the price now on the second penalty on this particular play [Music] so some of the run back is negated we have just 43 seconds to play in the first quarter still no score when we come back Kelly on the Bills have the football bunch of factor Kelly's been working against the wind he's got just over 40 seconds and then he's gonna have the wind at his back but I've been very impressed by the way the bill says play I mean they have just taken charge of his football game if it were not for the two turnovers I'm sure they would have a score by now still no score at this particular moment the interception and the fumble have been costly but you have to be impressed with the way thus far Buffalo has been able to move the ball on the ground first down they stopped for their own 35 36 yard line first quarter and they stayed in the ground [Applause] before Tim Bryan is there or Jim Ryun the thing bring him down and did you notice what they did that's the same runner who fumbled the football in scoring territory so what do they do the next time they get the football they give it to him on the first play I think that goes along and re-establishing the players confidence I saw the graphic that the Bills have been unable to generate points in the first quarter all year remember against Miami they were down 21 and he came back and won that one down a Joe Robbie Stadium as the captain [Music] it's been entertaining with Reggie Rutger I'm Gary Gerald as you watch those uprights you get an idea of just how much the wind is blowing in the factory that has been only four passes thrown in the first quarter only one of the four completed one was intercepted back John Elway old for two in that first quarter and look at the rushing totals last week just 21 yards they've already got [Applause] [Music] the wind that Kelly's back let's see if he goes to the ground indeed he stays on the ground [Applause] just wait before he rips it up top tries to take advantage of the wind Simon Fletcher coming over to make that stop on Harmon who's that a very productive first quarter reminder to our viewers that we'll be selecting the Budweiser Most Valuable Player for today's game at the conclusion of the contest just underway in the second quarter number of plays run thus far 22 times to build at once always beat Denver Broncos don't give Elway the opportunities and you do that by running the football and keeping him on the bench consuming time on the clock and maintaining an advance possession if the bills do that they've got a chance solving Kelly is a man who has completed at least 25 passes in every game that he [Applause] [Music] that's a couple of yards for the Bronco reason why I say the Bills have a chance in this ball game is because everybody knows the Denver Broncos are Superbowl contending football team the Buffalo Bills have no such aspirations they want to improve their ballclub their defense so if you're a Super Bowl contender you have to win football games on the road against teams like the Buffalo Bill at the 48 yard line second down a little over eight threes split wide to the right Burkett wide to the left and it's the tight end metzelaars who is the motion back little movement up front that time everybody okay Kelly in trouble he manages to scramble forward for three or four yards let's check the ten-minute sector now an update activity around the National Football League at this particular point Washington in Philly both with touchdowns and they're even now leading Atlanta Cleveland trying to bounce back after that loss in overtime against San Diego the Chargers meanwhile trail Indianapolis Green Bay is tied things up against your fan go and the Raiders with a field goal over Minnesota no sure in this one between Denver possession running up the numbers but neither team has stored bills just inside Denver territory out of the shotgun [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Kelly some Rob Riddick 34 yards you know that Dan Reeves is going to throw the gadget bag at you but are you surprised that mark levy comes up with it no question about it that was a marvelous football called ladies what's born to the left of the screen now they've run this play before and they were successful with it so everybody on the Denver team is over there now look at that Jim Kelly all along I think I'm not so sure about this but I do believe that's the longest path to a quarterback in history yeah Kelly we've got to love it not exactly fleet afoot but he got down to the 15 and now he wants to roll another surprise he goes down at the 12 yard line this is a different look and that's scary a little bit when you see your quarterback scramble out to Jim Kelly focus and hey John Elway gets all this a clean about being a runner I'm going to show a few folks that I could do some of the same things they've given the change dan Reeves was telling us last night he said the thing about Kelly is that he's like a street fighter he'll just come and come and come he's so tough so physical taking the punishment and you can see some concern edge down the face of the coach of the Denver Broncos right now is his ballclub digs in for the bills at the 11 yard line this is where they get tough you have to take care of the football out coming through really crypto to the line of scrimmage and that's all tackle that time was ridic have no opportunity to break it loose and think another look at Jim Kelly deceptive this looks like a throwback to the old days big strong upper body Jim Kelly and there watched it he takes all day to get going but the big play just out of bounds to that's more it's going to be a bigger play if they can punch it in for six rather than have to settle for a field goal attempt in this play maybe turn them right now because it's third down [Applause] goes out of bounds and he's right at the flag hard to tell tomorrow Randee Robbins bumped him down and Harmon did an excellent job because he saw the marker on the sidelines and he may have gotten the first down Denver has to be looking for the path and Kelly crosses them up right here because he runs the football again so good block by Boulder number 65 that's really the key to that played the good block thrown by number 65 Tim Bolger gives Ronnie Harmon that they'd like to pick up that first down well they brought the chains in from the far side of the field Harmon and there is the indication oh wait a minute had they pulled the talk yes that'll be first down started to say the Parman coming into this ball game in seven games this year had rushed for just 91 yards and he's over 50 in the first half of this one you wouldn't expect that against the Denver Bronco [Applause] big play there as they got the first now and that will keep this particular drive alive was what early second quarter we played only three minutes and four seconds of the second quarter but here now is the first serious scoring attempt for the afternoon quiet now the shift in the formation Kelly Rowland wounded his back there is a penalty marker down we're about to say and there you see the immediate reaction as Kelly was just informed that there's a penalty marker [Applause] [Music] talk about critical mistakes Pete metzelaars just made one you know I think this is a big play you see this play a lot in the National Football League and it isn't always called we can't see it from this angle but what I think is that metzelaars number 88 went running inside probably made contact with the defensive man you cannot do that before the ball is thrown and of course they caught him well that moves it back now and the ball is final at the 14 yard line still first down first and goal for the Buffalo Bills the chats flipped wide to the right side Andre Reed his wide left is Kelly backpedals and takes a look for the end zone harmony mistiming there is Harlan didn't even look back for the ball on Kelly under some pressure he had to throw it out quickly about Jim Kelly he realized that nothing going for him and he got rid of the football you don't want to take a lot of SATs down here because it really disorient your offense and throws you out of sync so that's a good decision by Kelly he's making more of those kinds of decisions than he did last year last year he might have tried to throw that ball into the receiver and had to picked off maybe time of possession you saw better than 13 minutes the bills about the football that's compared to last Sunday when here at home they had the ball for only 19 minutes the whole afternoon against Washington right over the middle by my garden as a former wide receiver you can relate to that punishment that kind of hit makes me glad that here my card number 31 really one of the outstanding quarterbacks in pro football with the most valuable player for the Denver defense last year Watson number 85 right in the middle of your screen Burkett should make the kiss but there did [Music] you may have heard in the background that there was offside on the part of the defense lined up in the neutral zone so Burkett will make sure that he's okay you can see him in the lower portion of the screen walking off here on the near side of the field but that is going to help the buffalo cause is the balls now spotted back at the 9 yard line one of the things Jim Kelly told us about burg hit was that he does catch the ball and traffic inside but I don't think anybody can hold the pants like that you can hit that run when you get feel it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] drives boarded by turnovers touchdown [Applause] andre reed get some on the scoreboard his third touchdown reception of the year nine yards from Kelly Andre Reed is the man they like to go to when they get down around the goal line he has those quick elusive move to get away from bump and run coverage I'll tell you the problem there we'll get to it after the extra point kick Scott Norwood comes on for the conversion attempts out of the hold of John kid [Applause] right through the middle shall with a 9-yard touchdown throat they read let's look at the reaction now the quarterback machine gun [Applause] the bills lead at pi7 [Applause] today's game is brought to you by Mazda bringing performance and value together that's the mazda way by Nikon we take the world's greatest pictures and by Tandy computers because there is no better value only at Radio Shack [Music] Guerry Gerald along with Reggie Rutger there's Jim Kelly on the phone upstairs after throwing a nine yard touchdown pass to Andre Reed his 13 consecutive game with a touchdown and you see the NFL record a long way to go before it catches up with Johnny Unitas hello and wide [Music] the wind at the back I think Norwood put that one through the upright who did you know he was kicking some balls 60 yards and practice today with that wind at his back I wonder if we won't maybe see an attempt at a record today at some point I understand that Burkett suffered a slight head injury but they expected he will see action later in the day that the result of that pop from Harvey Denver today is to had the ball only nine they had to surrender its all the [Music] [Applause] bashing the most of man in Winder the lone setback and little play-action fake here's the reverse now when the football looking for room is Johnson he swings back to the right and he is hidden hit Harvard about the 28 yard line [Applause] a penalty marker down on the field Johnson trying to circle the wagons that time as he started to the left and then had to go back in the other direction and the indication that the procedure is going to go against the Denver Broncos only one man can be moving in motion when you have a penalty like that it's usually Gary the man that's going to get the ball who becomes overzealous about getting the ball and what did he do he went and roasting a little bit too soon Derek burrows on the left when Johnson came circling back to that side [Applause] whereas first in 1501 flips it out here ran the ball intercepted 476 French merliss the build was doing his best to handle one of the offensive linemen on the ball came very close to popping into his hands trying to throw against that wind even those short little passes is going to be tough duty today well the Bills have a lot to do with what's going on with Denver things Venice's come back down the field that's the reaction Elway still looking for his first completion of the afternoon and he has put the ball in the air three times and you see the result [Applause] they run the ball away from him Steve Schewel handling across the 20 25 hit hard at the 27 yard line out of bounds there's a big league hitting going out of this ballgame today and that's the same play that Buffalo has been running so successfully Denver that time with Sewell going the opposite direction gets outside can you get outside on a pro defense you had some good steel blocking at the line of scrimmage by the tight end and usually by the lead back and that's what they got that time they put themselves in a very favorable position we'll pick up a first down now you saw that razzle-dazzle on the part of the bills drive when Riddick threw the pass to Kelly to a touchdown pass to John Elway a march toward the playoffs and eventually the Super Bowl bouncing emotion out of the fan goes to work being between completed school was we intended [Applause] really getting the spirit of it now a good push that time with some fresh fruit as well defensively for Buffalo well you can see the impact that a Bennett makes with a big plate it's sort of list the other players around him to make great plays that's a number 56 Darryl Talley who was it was the best Buffalo linebacker right now put the same kind of pressure on Elway forcing him to throw the ball early now her an early in the first quarter if you were with us you saw him kick 176 yards it was called back by penalty that was what the wind at his back now he's going to kick into the wind and it's going to be a much different story and Pitts stands at his own 39 yards [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] to the 41-yard line tough conditions to be kicking into today Kendall there without it 31 yards on the punt Buffalo with a 7 point lead we'll have the football and a chance to try it as we check scores on the 10 minute sicker Cleveland now with a two touchdown advantage one of those a 54-yard fast from Kosar to slaughter Kevin Mack has added a touchdown run he has Suchi with a couple of field goals has Indianapolis leading San Diego on [Music] [Applause] Hritik for the bill struggling for a yard can Ryan with the tackle as we go back now check those other scores Green Bay has gone out in front of Chicago after the Bears led that one Minnesota by four over the Raiders and in the other early game Tampa Bay continuing to hold onto that seven-point lead against st. Louis here the bills lead Denver seven to nothing we have ten fifteen to play here in the first half Denver that time did a good job of stopping the run one thing about pro football is that if you don't stop the run you usually don't win so second down read in motion and on the ground once again it's Riddick to the right this time Denver making those adjustments we coming up to make the sample was Freddy Gilbert Gilbert who's mentioned coming off an ankle injury that he suffered a few weeks ago back in the starting lineup today and he had that one snipped out very nicely now Denver has taken the advantage away from Kelly and the bills and giving it to the defense of the Denver Broncos because this is where they excel when you and I when you're in an obvious passing situation against them they can double up on your primary receivers get a good fit and they look for turnovers in this situation that's Joe Collier who was a head coach at Buffalo back in the mid 60's 66 through 68 he is the assistant head coach to Dan Reeves in charge of the Denver defense Kelly looking deep overthrows the intended receiver over there on the far side was Tremaine Johnson that one just kind of took off and sailed without baking situation to be here that's the best defensive series for Denver because they did the number one thing that a defense has to do that is and they fourth Jim Kelly to throw the football football into their strength which is defending against the pass to other drives by the Bills have been negated by turnovers and then they have the drive for the touchdown this time the Broncos stop them they're standing back now as the we turn man the window to work with the beauty but it bounces backwards and it is down at about the 22 yard line it was high and it was long but it didn't take a favorable bounce for the bills 35 yards total on the kick Buffalo on top Denver with a football in a moment one coming in and these are the starters that they're playing without will hide of course with a fractured leg watch them with the broken ribs still four to six weeks away from getting back in with nothing here with me no six to play first half in Buffalo those defensive unit now trying to respond to the challenge of team laying circles on the side and he has bumped out about carrying for the first time today had McMahon E in common that contend with over on that far side Cornelius Bennett not in the ball game at the moment a look at the numbers relating to the offense for the Broncos that's been so successful this year and it's also interesting to note that when you throw out the replacement games the average for the regulars and generating offense is well over 400 yards that's a pretty impressive number as it is with AD believe people have had it in their minds qualify some of the stats because of those replacement games for three weeks the regulars have clearly done the job numerically for the Broncos setting up the throw that was intended for the rookie Ricky no deal [Applause] slipped through his hands that's the past that Elway is accustomed to hitting because of the great arm strength the velocity that he has he usually gets the pass to his receiver like that in an instant but watch this once to the left of your screen he looks downfield now he goes back to the right side left side on your screen that ball sails a little bit doesn't get to the receiver mate'll in time and Derrick barrows has it but can't hold on but if there's anybody that's unflappable in such a situation [Music] [Applause] as the past completed the 39 yard line in the careless mistake by the bill Vance Johnson is on the loose I'm sorry pricking his heel [Applause] or did it go all the way down to the 28 yard line there is a penalty marker down and it's going to work against Denver who do you think was putting huge pressure on Elway was his name Bennett by Jo you betcha çb Cornelius Bennett [Music] John Aires [Applause] man who's been around the league 11 years had a lot of great years of course to the San Francisco 49ers the starting right guard for Denver and that negates a big gainer right there the bills were careless on that reception buying a seal in the rookie quickly realized that he hadn't been touched jumped up to win for big yardage but it's all brought back on the holding call by Aires [Applause] at the 18-yard line sixteen ago [Applause] the shotgun against the wind and here comes the pressure again [Music] [Applause] [Applause] on that defense to take the pressure off of him here it is again right side of the screen Bruce Smith number 78 Forsyth Elway once again to get rid of the ball too soon and how many times have we seen that this afternoon people forcing John Elway to do something before he's ready to do it so Iran will have to kick once again into that freeze Danny at ease score the ball [Music] safely Ralph Riddick number 40 I'm sorry Rob is the man who gets his hands in the football that is the eighth time this year that they've got a piece it's the third legitimate block but they've been doing it all season long so chalk up a couple more points for the Buffalo Bills and we'll take another look the bills practice how to block kicks Marv levy has them doing this all throughout the week extending just like that and who is once again that's making a big play for the Buffalo Bill Rob Riddick catching passes blocking kicks covering punts he certainly has to be one of the most valuable players on this football team and Moran fortunately gets involved there the ball spurts out of the back of the end zone that could have been seven Ricky Porter who had just activated yesterday was number 26 in your picture there who was scrambling trying to down it in the end zone for a possible touchdown along with Riddick but yesterday Marv was telling us they spent extra time on the field they send everybody back in after a quick Saturday morning workout and they kept the kicking teams out there and they were a couple of things both in their own field goal protection and in their field goal in front block the reason being is that that man Marv levy was one of the first men in the history of the National Football League to hold a special teams coaching position he was the first he wants everybody to move up because of the wind you see what the wind is doing to their hair they know that they're not going to be able to kick that football very far against the wind so he's trying to get everybody on the receiving team to move up and here are the deep man now close to the 30-yard line a free-kick of course from the 20s will be kicked a special team can be the difference there's there's no substitute for the hustle [Applause] in this crowd of course loving news here expectant look at that cake hang-up only to the 38 ballers loose 35 Steve Tasker had it get away from him and then the scramble was on looks like the bills will retain possession and on top of the football was Nate Odom number 37 right there center of your screen number 89 that Steve Tasker trying to avoid a hit and that was Bruce Klosterman that fits that ball loose you see the Buffalo Bills converging on that football they keep it [Applause] well levy and company were correct they knew the kick wouldn't go very far they had the opportunity to pick up good field position but they refunded [Applause] [Music] compete at the 50 did a nice little job for the 15 yard pickup Arden the defenders for the Broncos 15 yard pickup but about a 50-yard throw you have to have Incredibles and incredibly strong arm to make a play like this look how long this football is in the air to pick up 15 yards now watch the tow Dan at the line of scrimmage great awareness of where he is on the field textbook execution by Andre Reed we talked in the teens about the bazooka right arm you can see [Applause] bro you Riddick amid filled with no place today Jim up and down to the artificial surface here in Buffalo on the 10 minutes IKAR updating scores Pittsburgh now even with Kansas City no changes in Cleveland Browns cruising right along Green Bay over Chicago's the Bears have answered back with a field goal no change in Minnesota and Tampa Bay now has the luxury of a 14-point lead here at San [Applause] [Music] 7:18 to play in the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he was trying to dump it off Bergkamp the big push up the middle Kelley on his back and Freddie Gilbert had the football in his hands but couldn't hang on the Denver Broncos appear to be turning up your defensive knives you going to see the attempt by number 90 right here that's Freddy Gilbert he had that ball in his hands but I don't know if you can call those hands or not those defensive ends where all of that padding and those gloves and so forth very hard to catch a football when we have [Applause] oops just when I hear by birth nowhere near first down yardage he's immediately dropped by Randy Robbins the kid had to get high in the air that time to pull that one down you can see the key to the bills success is being able to run the football on first down now in the last two possessions that they've had the football they weren't able to run it they were forced to throw and they couldn't pick up a first down Buffalo with well over 100 yards rushing in the early portion of this ball game but unable to move the ball on the ground of Lake this is John kid the kicker [Applause] offended hardened just as he's fired forty yards on the bunt four yards on the return what's the good hands by number 31 Mike pardon that ball is jumping around a lot in the air and he makes that catch maintains possession and tackles there at the 10-yard line once again extremely poor field position for the Denver Broncos [Music] let's of course boys and highlights around whistles whistles whistles down there's everybody is in a scramble at the 10-yard line [Applause] [Music] how many times would be heard Alison Brie what was a de Brie's number by the way you know what the poor field position really is taking away John Elway's creativity he doesn't [Applause] [Music] what he can do someone trust the 50-50 as we look at Mobley take a step of motion his way out across the 15 18 yard line good effort that time my Sammy winder thank common Scott rather sick and on the tackle and it's hard to believe that with only six minutes to go in the half Elway has yet to complete a pass remember coming in as you looked at that tail of the tape both quarterbacks over 60 percent completion mark this season Elway in the second quarter having to put it up into the wind [Applause] you take the ball has a tendency to say this shot goes to winders being pursued by [Music] watch most of the first half now the one thing that I see as far as the Denver Broncos are concerned that maybe would be somewhat problematical if you're Dan Reese is the intensity level of the Broncos I don't think that they've had the same intensity that Buffalo has had Buffalo has been buoyed but somewhat by the appearance of familias Bennett they had that going on I think that's what Reeves has to get out of this football team and get back into the ballgame and of course you look at those stats look at the road record Stadium [Music] once again the bills are playing some toughly themselves against the run is Sam winder sometimes when you get in a football game like this and you wait too long it's often too late now 5:25 to play in the first half and the clock running bills have generated a dozen first downs today well Elway and the Broncos have had just 2 thus far in this first half right now a second down situation compared to what you saw in a graphic that second down [Music] [Applause] nice little quick the first completion today for Elway Derek burrows he's there with the tackle completely won for the first [Applause] to complete a path like that going into this ring Denver fans don't look twenty miracles by John Elway going this way 60 or 70 yard passes that's not coming they're going to have to do this the hard way they're going to have to block people and run the football hard and makes a good state pass completion when alias Bennett is on the field inside handoff whistles again are going to stop the play and look 55 the pennant was chasing down Steve Schewel just about the time Sewell got the handoff [Applause] second mistake in the last two series here against the Broncos I would be very concerned if I were Daenerys with the sloppy play of a veteran Super Bowl contending football team that is very unusual of this outfit we're in the second quarter in Buffalo Gary Gerald along with Reggie Rutger hits a 9 to nothing Buffalo Bills lead over Denver the Bills have been able to move the foot [Applause] the one touchdown resulting in a safety [Applause] to throw B [Music] crank it up against the wind that diamond Johnson white green [Music] utterly great I'm not sure how he ever got that ball that far down [Applause] [Music] had they been able to hook up Johnson I had just the lone defender and if he could have gathered in his pride he would have been off to the races [Applause] against the wind it's been gusting steadily [Applause] last time however he faced the punt punt block got to him let's see what happens now gets the kick off looks like a very good kick under these conditions indeed it is down to the 22 bounces back to about the 24 yard line so I ran did an excellent job that time against the wind 51 yard that's a magnificent effort against that breeze and the bills will take over but well back in their own territory when they thought they may have been closer to midfield into the wind that wind is almost of 12 defendants [Music] Denver hasn't been able to run the ball as effectively as they would like to because the bills all up around the line of scrimmage knowing that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] excellent idea it was Tim Bolger once again we've seen bogan number 65 opened the way twice number 65 right there number 88 you see him with the good steel black handsome and of course Riddick once again [Applause] this is number 40 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for the bongos 25 yards you're going to see what the defense needs right here [Applause] this screen what's a good flocks once again Barham good block inside now he does get a good outside tip right there they read helping him out - with a downfield block all right go ahead Jim Ritchie number 51 pulling they've gotten good play out [Music] getting around the corner and blocking downfield Rick Dennison had his arms actually around the ball carrier which could bring him down this time [Applause] every run is gone for yardages gone to the right today on the right side of the offensive line we've got Vogler and Devlin a half minutes to go here in the first half in Buffalo with the bills leading this one by a score of nine and I think let's update things on the ten minute ticker Washington winner here in Buffalo and the city with a fool Dole advantage over Pittsburgh Indianapolis now stretching it out against San Diego [Applause] Berni lily is there along with ruling Jones and one other store to check on way of it earlier and the 14-point lead in st. Louis our score is nine nothing here in Buffalo as we count down towards [Applause] because he goes to the [Applause] [Music] in that situation that the winner Jim fellas back is virtually impossible to stop those short passes you have to respect Kelly's radar on deep and those receivers have a lot of time because Kelly was given the time at the the difference maybe read last week caught eight balls for a hundred [Music] [Applause] therefore the technical for Denver these have to be a very concerned head folks it'll be an interesting head time yet I'm sure with his ball running ground level action you'll see it here once again solid Blackmon Victor 51 goes block then a Burton 61 coming around the corner once again not big factor in this ball game nothing our score in Buffalo stick out on the Battle of the heavyweight quarterbacks let's go back to the tale of the tape for the Top Gun trophy and this is surprising and the wind has certainly had something to do with it Joe a 6 out of 9 only 47 yards in Elway just 1 out of 8 the big surprise on the ground however is the fact that he's got to rush for the bills Riddick with 65 yards in harmony with 59 and if you told me coming here that the bills would have 100 yards period for the game I think I'd have been surprised nothing working this time they fry the right side Riddick in the grass with but you imagine they are championship football club we've got to have a offensive line today if we have an opportunity to win and that effort has to come from the offensive line at the point of attack and every time you have seen a Bills runner make good garbage right there [Music] close to three yards on the shotgun teletext galore [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Wilson is there with short safe path but they have to dream with consistency now those are perfection passes that maintain control of the play good pants protection it's a short drop by Jim Kelly [Music] timeout has been taken with 102 two plays we'll take another look now here it is now number 12 senator screen the outstanding blocking by the offensive line there's a one-on-one coverage 9j read it's a cute little receiver who knows how to get open against man-to-man coverage Andre Reed comes out of one of those smaller schools played that puts down in Pennsylvania and sometimes it's difficult to assess the ability when they they play the schedules that they play and against the caliber of the opposition but clearly he's starting to make an impact not only in this game but now in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills of course the bill tell us that these are outstanding receivers they do all the things that like you can run the full three they don't have the blazing speed that's the one ingredient there [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he's gone back to the two there was a question for a moment if he might be able to get it into the [Applause] remember he came down early it was get right in the throat but a helmet tackle laid on the ground for a while now he's coming back and saying I've got a lot of courage I can play in this league I can catch passes you're not going to intimidate me Chris Burkett having a big year for the bills 18 yards on that reception Tony lily and Mike harden finely muscled him down that Burkett got close to that goal line they ruled the progress to the one and it excuse me with 52 seconds left here in the half now the Bills have the opportunity to try to stretch the nine to nothing lead that they currently enjoy both of those receivers Reid who's got two touchdown passes this year Burkett has caught affair actually read now has three with the one earlier in this ball game coming out of those smaller schools we were talking about reef and Kutztown and Jackson States while they turn out some good football players [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he's got the touchdown it appears now maybe - on the ball the indication Buffalo Bills Rob Riddick getting his fourth touchdown his fifth touchdown rushing as three is a pass receiver led the NFL coming in and touchdown scored and he's just added to the count scoreboard has already reflected the conversion attempt it says 16 to nothing [Applause] the bills are winning because the stains just about filled [Applause] a lot of us were from single-parent homes where your mother or your father well trying to support the family that's what my grandmother became the most important person in my life my grandmother was the one who really raised us she taught us from discipline and love she's 77 years old now but she's still providing that love and guidance as a Foster Grandparent to other young people to meet her that's why he supports United Way's Foster Grandparents Program who sees to it that these children and their foster grandparents get to enjoy a Bills game that's when he gets to show off for his grandma by doing his best for the Buffalo Bills the United Way gives us all a chance to do our best hi grandma United Way it brings out the best in all of us this message furnished by the National Football League well you know that the West Point glee club they should here to sing the national anthem today and they're in the spirit of things in Buffalo as they were down doing the push-ups for every point scored gene Lang awaiting the kick now from with little time through the end zone no opportunity for the run back let's go back now and take a look at that touchdown again once again it was the offensive line you can see his ground level providing the running room for Rob Riddick to go up inside it wasn't even close 16 to nothing lead in play 75 yards with the store earlier a nine-yard shall be touchdown fast [Music] the safety data can forty seconds to go here they go to work [Applause] got the crowd into it and this is exactly what Dan Reeves did not want to happen he didn't want to have to play catch up football here in Buffalo he was very emphatic about that and we spoke with him last evening why roll on right up to date and all the activities around Society 8-week to play you see down [Applause] dumps it off and even if difficult against that wind in this store the simplest little seven yard pass the intended receiver and the velocity just wasn't there on that throw [Applause] that way has got to be frustrated he's had nine passing attempts the only pass he has completed went for four yards just wouldn't expect that in this particular situation meanwhile buffalo were their ability to run the football today has generated 17 first downs the Broncos have had just two the shotgun should be the final play of the first half and speed shield that's no we're just a couple of yards was he tried to circle to the right [Applause] be the last play of the first half excited you here I'll tell you why why they're doing it they expect the poor punt they can possibly get a fair catch and they can make a free kick and with the wind at their back is a possibility of picking up three more points and it's a very smart and alert move by Marv levy in the Buffalo Bills coaching staff excellent call and an excellent piece of strategy because as we mentioned earlier on one of the kits from placement in the 35 the kicker put the ball through the uprights with the wind it is back so it is definitely within the realm of possibility dan Reeves you run into a buzzsaw partner the winningest coach in Denver history had ten or more wins the last three years and of course got to the Super Bowl last January when they were defeated by the New York Giants I ran standing back to punt his last effort against the wind however was a beautiful 51 yarder see if the bills are coming [Music] [Applause] it will be a safety he couldn't control it and for the second time today the Bills have blocked the punt on her and for the second time today they pick up a bonus two points and Marv levy told us when he was in special teams coach of the Washington Redskins back in there Superbowl year they block 18 kits under his leadership in that one and he said if we don't do anything else we're going to play great special teams the Buffalo Bill here it is again he's a three step kicker one two three boom and it's not enough time ask her right in there on the kick he didn't even have to die for that out of the end zone another two points the only conceivable disappointment for Tasker would be the fact that he couldn't control it for an actual touchdown he must have surprised himself to be so close to her Anne's - gee so a pair of safeties such down on the ground a touchdown pass from Elway to read I'm from Kelly to read and there's the result 18m NFL live continues in a moment we'll be back right after these messages well games starter Denver won the toss and elected to take the wind at their back in the kick walk so we start the second half in a similar condition Buffalo working against the wind and Kelly with an 18 point lead and remember this in the fourth quarter when Denver is going to need it the most they're going to be going directly into that wind I'll see how the bills would like to play it here they were effective - big turnovers in the first quarter that negated [Applause] [Music] [Applause] EER put his head down and plowed straight ahead Jim Brian tell me Lily finally bring I'm going to see some great blocks right in the line of screens by number 67 kid ho look at that block look at that hole [Applause] just across the 38th [Applause] pivoting as he went side-to-side trying to pick [Music] just try to go straight ahead in Mecklenburg was right there also Rickey Hundley but a mere fact that we've not talked about rulings the to all pro players of the Denver Broncos by the mere fact that we have not talked a lot about them tells you that they are being controlled by the Buffalo Bills interesting also the factor on the reverse the Bills last week gave up defense has been effective [Applause] [Music] where's muscle up and pulling down a lot of activity today Miriam 9-year record reason why the play was stopped was because of the excellent penetration and defeating the block by number 77 if they're going to get back into the game the great players of the Denver Broncos at the play great with Kelly thus far Buffalo six of ten been able to do [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] exactly what we have seen Elway do so many times in the past and just as effectively 14 yards for Kelly the John Elway change uniforms dare I don't think so good thing he steps up in the pocket and he keeps the ball because everybody's covered a big lane right up the middle now watch them get down this frustrates defenses he picks up the first down and you can't even hit him well there are now seven of 11 and third down fortunately the ball at the 47 yard line territory and you saw the first down number Neuer to the 45-yard line you had a fumble that stopped one of those early drives but they came right back up let him carry em two or three other occasions and he's been effective as well Simon Fletcher and Mike Hardin combining efforts to stop we had a college career career rushing average in colleges here one of those NAIA school he's a young fella that's from the Cleveland area they say he run four point four five of four five forty that's often fast for man his size was about 2:30 number 45 in Denver territory at Jim Kelly [Applause] [Music] but if you watch what's going on between the bills and the Denver Broncos you'll see that the bills are taking everything to Denver you don't see Denver making a lot of plays to break up passes to force the pass and I think Dan Reeves is more concerned with that his defense just isn't holding up for you [Music] [Applause] I am trying to grow first down make it eight out of twelve in terms of conversions now Jim Kelly has to be having fun let's take a look at what's happening in the secondary for Denver this is the fable Joe Collier defense nickel defense in which they really shut down people but that's a good move to turn outside that receiver has an option depending upon where the defense is if the defense is outside he goes inside if the defense is inside he goes outside he went outside that time first down just short of the 31 yard line in this opening drive of the second half they lead by 18 the screencast [Applause] mix it up and they continue to move on the Denver Broncos Boyer finally there with a tackle but not after Jim Kelly on the bills are on fire they've got this stadium Rocky Harmon picks up the FASTA he's an excellent Panthers he would make that cat to make a little step at the same time that takes real good athletic ability and good vision and gets the football up the field I think they've got Denver on the ropes here the numbers for Kelly that's fine [Applause] last year only 1/6 of their losses left by 4 or last point which kinda gives you the indication that they were sneaking up on people and now with the addition of some quality athletes to go along putting it together today and you get the feeling Reggie that a team starts to believe and that confidence generates it takes them to the next level this is ridic Simon Fletcher and Wong Boyer were right there nothing to be gained as far as the girls were concerned so the wide receivers come back onto the field now is we have Truman Johnson along with Chris Berg captain Hartman comes into the back metzelaars come out and you have to like briquette down here because briquette is 65 inches tall he has a huge height advantage on any of the Denver secondary [Applause] inside handoff goes to Riddick and there's very effectively that time Rick Dennison inside linebacker so now team will come on while it won't be a particularly long field again keep in mind the stiff westerly breezes and so the field goal attempt by Scott Norwood who is four out of six on the air is going to be going right into the teeth with about a 30 out of 10 [Applause] I need to get a good endzone look here now John kid will handle the football and spotted after the 20 yard line for the 30 yard [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you really put that put the wood on that one so the lead is now stretched out to a full 41 point advantage Buffalo in command welcome to Ford Festiva to the street quick maneuverable with 42 standard features and a six year 60,000 mile powertrain warranty

Gerald along with Reggie Rutger and Buffalo where the bills are enjoying an unexpected 21 to nothing lead over the Denver Broncos and Norwood who just hit the 30-yard field goal into the the wind in the deep spots bail-in lang [Applause] a little success today has the wind at his back trailing by three touchdowns if the Broncos are going to do anything they better get serious right now this is an important Drive to send a message to the bills that says no we are gone to school [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 42 yard line he really had to get up there to get that one no way did a good job of improvising for the 15 yard pickup and that's the statement that I'm talking about watch Vance Johnson leap up in the air this is poorly time but he things in the air watch it he gets up and down just hangs there good body control makes the catch that's a tough cast to make holes on to it that's what they need to get going you saw the second reception for Elway [Applause] yard line [Music] John Elway Rocco's trying to come off the ropes and there's no substitute for just outright speed all the other sprinters they have on the football field Elway lets it go actually working such a good pass by the way it was good enough for the completion but had 'we laid this ball on the outside this is six points no question about Derick burrows mostly defender and John just to get to the ball [Applause] there [Applause] six yards they move right the length of the field and get on the board and there's a semi sigh of relief I think for my hip coach you said that that drive would be so important and they capitalized big league drive all the way Elway showed why he is capable of getting up off the canvas as we say and delivering a knockout punch in this case it was a touchdown it is now this is a good move by luck by winder who weights the waist now for that Lane to develop gets up inside reaches the goal line [Applause] [Music] right through the middle and we have a 21-2 7

[Music] [Applause] the girls today the show passes no play inside they were trying to catch Denver looking the other way they've shown Denver just about everything in there grab bag but Broncos had a little more intensity on that defensive series now Buffalo is going to have to gear it up because I think that Denver feels that they do in this score and they're gonna have to do it kid faces the wind in a planning situation for the first time he's gonna chase take off [Applause] [Music] John kid [Applause] [Applause] [Music] in the pass rush arsenal of the buffalo bills that's Cornelius Bennett in his first NFL game Denver having to come from behind I guess there's a luxury in knowing that he's going to go in there and try to penetrate and chased away the bills know that Denver is going to throw the football with the wind 21 in the backfield Jackson in motion now Phil way sets the club and he back pedal ready to throw this time going deep down the left side the battle is on and turning and falling the intended receiver was Vance Johnson Kelso and Odom's were trying to go stride for stride you see the reaction back there the defenders they were all clamoring for a flag and nobody got one with the wind at Elwes back his range is probably about 75 or 80 yards let's see what happens here they're all right they're there all right there I'll tell you what there's a little push right there by number 82 Vance Johnson if anything well I'm just looking this Ballwin 3545 about 52 from the line of scrimmage plus a few more so he put that one up for well over 55 near 60 yards [Applause] he's able to elude the pressure fires but this one's outbound across the way [Applause] I mean he forced our way to do something he didn't want to do he was after Elway so fast that's one linebacker John Elway is run and he falls down way to throw the football running left which is very difficult to do for a right-hander and he had to throw it high and just get rid of it the first linebacker ever to win the Lombardi Trophy as a tell agent out of Alabama the bills paid a heavy price they gave up [Music] [Applause] he has time but he can't complete the path [Applause] in this way well the bills fans have got a new hero there's no question about that so the kicking situation for my Koran [Applause] [Music] been out there on the football field in actual contact see the beat man pizza waiting today no pressure this time and now kids will have the run back from the 27 across the 40 to play in the third quarter by fourteen over Denver when we come back it'll be the bills little football third-quarter scores on the ten minutes occur around the league Cleveland cruisin in Washington over Philly by just for other games in a big one Indianapolis leading San Diego in Green Bay continues to lead Chicago Tampa Bay whomping against st. Louis here the Broncos have gotten back with a touchdown but still our two TVs behind the Buffalo Bills understand it arrghh Dickerson in that game three or four yards and [Applause] [Music] fake pitchout powders I didn't metzelaars I'm able to do so push that time by Simon Fletcher with the pressure for the Broncos second or a second defense is the word of a fact this is bit out and having a hard time doing it that's right 3:23 to go Cleveland has pushed it to 35 to 3 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] on the ground you feel that the Broncos defensive unit now is starting to turn things around a little bit more after that opening drive when the bills got the field goal to start the second half they really are now we're going to go back here on this panel where we did get a quick look at Green Bay and Chicago Green Bay leading now in 2113 and Minnesota given the Raiders a real tough time ball just short of the 40-yard line there were 318 to play third quarter in Buffalo where the bills been going a 14-point lead [Applause] [Music] because he had a hand in her football they're going [Music] [Applause] it's not a good kick it takes a bounce however for the bills when he picks up an extra seven yards and it goes to about the twenty nine barely got it away there was a lot of pressure up the middle that's only 31 yards into the world second half of today's big doubleheader of course is coming up most of you are going to be seeing Pastor Dan Marino Cincinnati others will see the owners and the 49ers [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] has a man [Applause] [Music] [Applause] right outside linebacker drop back and was protected always going to have to go all the way with K because Orson Mobley the back up side end the thick fellows about 265 pounds has injured his ankle and I don't think the old return that's the indication that we have so that's our first look just a moment ago at the show looking [Applause] [Music] [Applause] inside handoff for keeping to the left [Applause] over on the far side collided it was tally there's pollen that comes over who helped out on the stop and there's a rookie that's going to help this ballclub defensively as well here's an unusual situation that you find in the third quarter I'm surprised that Elway ran that football because that uses up time on that clock it's very valuable they must throw the football on almost every down so that if it isn't complete it's incomplete the clock stopped and they say time [Applause] 21-7 late third quarter then is trying to flush him out of the pocket dice Jody from the last Mervis up the middle and Smurl ascended up forcing mounds in is the reason why he felt the pressure of Bennett [Music] he's going to be another second before Bennett was born again we'll get to him was unable to throw the football because he's right-handed and couldn't turned to throw to fall fall back down the field and that counts as the sack the first by the Buffalo Bills against go away today in safety stretched out and the bills were going after another one didn't get it fair catch call for buy tips at the 38-yard [Applause] [Music] that special teamwork having seen key blocks already in this game got a piece of nine kicks this season it really says something about the effectiveness of that Marv levy has this group performing I'm sure they've got sitting like these on a tree every time he has to punt that football [Applause] [Music] all season until today he's had two blocks cleanly today [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well Jim Kelly right now is interested in just getting out of this third quarter run the football [Music] - and 21 against the premier teams in the NFL over the last three and a half years a Super Bowl team the ropes [Applause] [Music] this is ridic this time tightrope the sidelines and has plenty of yardage I believe for the first down depending whether or not he stepped out about he's got the first down easily 13 yards on the pickup with all the big name stars on this field today Elway Kelly and Bennett is there any question in your mind Gary that this has been the most valuable player on the field today he has done it all date he has excellent effort and he's pushing the rush totals up and we'll try to check on that for you for [Applause] [Music] 76 yards [Music] [Applause] [Music] gets it back to the 4445 or he's gone back [Music] trying to even there we look at the wiki runningback Jamie Hillary come off to the near sideline the Buffalo Bills have had you got a great quarterback one thing you can take pressure off him is too the Bills have done that it kept Jim Kelly situation [Music] [Applause] and this time he asked to drop her down on his family was coming you know another thing we mentioned there was concern for the elderly because of the injury to will Wilfred had left tackle and we really haven't pointed those guys responsible for helping protect Kelly and to open the holes for the running game even though most of the running has gone to the right side [Applause] [Music] after these messages now from Jordan the special teams coach alongside head coach Marv levy leaving with a headset that Haven there on the right side of the screen he is the man who is instrumental and healthy levy determined the schemes that have resulted in those two blocked punts and a pair of safeties the very easily could have been another touchdown [Applause] here on the right overthrowing through Maine Johnson check the stats now in the third quarter or after three quarters of play and again that rushing total is a maze possession you see flashing Broca's have had the ball for just over 13 minutes or almost 32 minutes for Buffalo total yards 368 to 125 would have never believed with them in [Music] Oh waiting for the continent sails over in the end the wind behind kid knocks it through the end zone and we'll have the Broncos now working against the wind still down by 14 [Music] areas of yesterday [Music] you could [Music] today's small cars are tougher than ever on oil they're high compression engines not only Rev high they can run hotter than regular small car engines they're searing heat and begin to break down an oil immediately that's why there's Castro the only leading in every grade provides maximum protection against viscosity and thermal break now you deduct castrol engineered for today's smaller cars do you want anything [Music] could you make that up if you want the green Kingston Bud Light asked for it you see no did you today's game is brought to you by Bud Light everything else is just a light by a TMT the right choice and by Castrol the motor-oil engineered for today's smaller cars [Music] to the fourth quarter he's completed only three passes today their hunger for Johnson that's actually about the twenty three or four yard line before he's tripped up by Fred merliss when alias been seeing his first NFL action today he's been a force particularly in this situation and I think he's played more than I thought he would play watching here you'll probably overrun this you should just take this right down does he overruns the receiver Elizabeth of Cecil is now for 416 as he has in motion you're playing for the injured and this one overthrown it's really tough [Applause] [Music] when you gotta use the strength to get P the wind that makes it tougher than before to sit up in the pocket have a good foundation step forward step strongly for that proceedeth and then deliver that as you can see the wind is a big factor all this way [Applause] [Music] situation no way looking at for surveying the scene takes the force I'm out and we'll see you know whey can get well first first down off a third down situation of the afternoon I don't know what do you know so what are you gonna do I don't know what are you gonna do you don't want those fries what are you gonna do jack eat your way

double barreled attack as the bills continue on with their play this year great great pictures you really saw how he battled through the defenders to make that sack here's mr. Moran Mike has not had the best of days in this particular situation against the wind has had to block no place for this a very short tip against the wind nobody gonna touch this one is going to roll dead brush [Applause] a 31-yard kick into the wind Porter Kelly has been steady and defective he's had a great running game particularly in the first half today he's through one touchdown pass to Andre Reed he got a touchdown run 30 yard field goal from Norwood in combination for the 21 points the inside handoff now [Applause] no place to go this time he is offended Simon a pleasure holding the corner very nicely the bills haven't been in this position often in the fourth quarter had no too severely so there's something here that they have to deal with that they aren't accustomed to and that is protect the football you cannot afford now to turn the football over to the Denver Broncos the Denver Broncos are ball hulking kind of the defense they have great skills when it comes to taking the ball away from you and Buffalo has the protector just 303 yards we go [Applause] [Music] and he stretched out was fully extended of all [Applause] clearly and even with the wind accurate against you because he just lost the ball but the wind hits the ball and propels it even beyond arms though all you made an excellent stab at trying to come up with that one [Applause] [Applause] on the far side overthrowing Reid Wilson the defender over there so the bill is unable to come up with the first down we'll send John Keegan kid on now and he'll try to punch one out in the corner that was a pass that Jim Kelly should have hit that time he had good protection the receiver was open over through the football to the outside [Music] [Applause] [Music] gets the roll just kind of dies with about the 15-yard line good effort that time by kid who hung it up for 36 yards Denver in trouble soon we build it as the Battle of the heavyweight quarterbacks and it would seem that John Elway down the ropes right now with Rocco yeah but I think Dan Marino's if not both these battle for the trophy Machine Gun Kelly and [Applause] on the ground the Broncos trying to come out of a hole and get out only close to the 10-yard line of stock rata sectors they're on that tackle mock will very shortly become a definite factor having to go against the wind and having to battle the clock as we're down now to 12 minutes and two seconds to go on the football game familias Bennett has not played football since what the Sugar Bowl in January or something like that I cannot believe [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a week ago the scramble is on guys out to about the 13 yard line they need to get out close to the 20 to get to the first down well update some activity now as we checked the 10 minute sicker still Washington by four Kansas City with a couple of nick flowery field goals now in the lead Cleveland is cruising Kosar with two touchdown passes their earnest Byner has scored three incidentally and look at San Diego behind foutch to Lionel James they've come back to tied up against Indianapolis Tampa Bay and st. Louis making a rally here [Applause] as sue turned around the ball was already by you see the reaction from Denver John Aires would indicate that this call is gonna go against Buffalo dick Jorgensen [Music] man in the field gives you a little unfair advantage yeah I think you can rush the quarterback with a couple of extra guys [Applause] ball game started with the bills making two big drives in the first quarter that both resulted in turnovers and no points but then they punched out the 21 [Applause] and get something going in this fourth quarter that way straight ahead just across the 20 looks like he left just enough for the first down five design now last week he ran for a couple of scores in the shutout victory that the Broncos enjoyed against Detroit you know normally when you play against their way and you're covering people down the does incredible things like coat of all 60 or 70 yards across the field but the buffalo defenders now defensively [Applause] against the wind [Music] the outside line [Applause] not only Cornelius Bennett will the force have had shame time without in the camp late the best linebackers anywhere in the country last year and what a tremendous boost to this defensive crew in Buffalo the building blocks are in place [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] hang on pressure that time from common who was also coming up front that way trying to set up the screen but unable to do so look at the numbers for John Elway just four of 1974 yards has to be a frustrating evening for Elwin he's been moving too much the abdomen able set himself [Applause] he has completed 16 he's completed just for this afternoon right over the middle there's number 5k out at the 31 yard line that'll be good for the first down NATO would tackle that Elway set up strong and grilled bat one for 11 yards two clans K excellent field awareness by K he went down a couple of yards past the first down marker and turned in and remained there as Elway spotted and that's one of the best passes incidentally that we have seen into the wind today [Applause] completed Weston 10 passes in the game was in early season last year he was 712 against Philadelphia number six and again Kay is the man at the 41-yard defensively that time by Scott Radisson 497 but cave that's going to be very close to a first down as well the shortest ending case straight down the field and he's throwing straight down there was a fire on way in the city which is some muscle behind back here inside handle nice Merlot cleaning up there for the capital for Buffalo I'm not sure if John Elway can afford to run the football Gary he has to score two touchdowns he's into this horrendous win he's had great pressure on him from Bennett and Smith all day long and he's going to have to throw the football whether he wants to another just inside nine minutes to go now we have the clock stopped as they bring the change on for the measurement to see whether they got the first down yardage and by the nose of the football that's Cornelius pin number 55 in his first NFL game and with the bills enjoying the early luxury of a three touchdown lead he has been in greatly helped him to pass rushed with his amazing astounding quickness [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he has that quick strike capability let's see if he says only a protection again okay this time at the 49 yard line so three consecutive completions the Clarins que Elway is moving his ballclub and the clock moves like this for our way is unusual because he likes the big play he wants to hit you with the quick strike but it's a longer way to get it done but he had the discipline to do though with three receptions consecutively here's the pitch back [Applause] [Music] Jaxson I don't think that's a good place that's just not a good place you don't run a please liquor to throw a two yard pass and if you're going to run the flea-flicker you need to throw the ball deep this play is designed to surprise the defense and drove the touchdown there there's no way always going to be forty or fifty yards into this win throws the two yard pass I think that's the way to go [Applause] [Music] inside shuttle fast away gets the first down in the Buffalo territory at the 46 Bennett on the tackle a lot of things that athlete brings to the game but there's some things you can't teach let's watch number 55 Bennet react to this play and look how quickly he's back on the Bulgaria he was five yards away from the ball carrier when that initial contact was made and then he just was right there to finish them off at the 45 first down the fake in trouble he avoids Bennet and throws and completes the pass nice catch out of the backfield by Jeanne Lang and a good effort by ly as Bennett was right there and you see Bennett's reaction because he thought he had a sack watch his mouth I promise you he's got his mouth wide open he has to be tired [Music] now he's on Elway watch left side of your screen flash he's on our way before Elway has even set up that's impossible I think Elway needs to vary his cadence a little bit because Bennett is getting a jump on 43 yard-line Denver with a football in buffalo territory trailing by 14 Elway looks off one man that goes deep and completes the pass to Johnson at the 33 yard line Johnson pulls it in Eric burrows is there to defend for the bills but Elway patiently moving his ballclub has another first down the clock continuing to run now at 652 after that 11-yard pickup Vance Johnson on the sideline number 82 we talked about that extraordinary individual brilliance by Elway we're beginning to see it now with all the pressure that he's getting and with the win condition he is now hi Ritchie meteo at the 19-yard line fifteen [Applause] replaced Johnson who may have been chasing us play in the teal define rookie for William and an 18-yard pickup [Applause] watch it now he just moved howitzer of his mate'll makes certain of the catch using his body to prevent the ball from getting away from him and if he scores here and scores quickly enough right Johnson held on and he was hammered mark Kelso was there and with a 15 yard bullet against the wind right down the middle if you want to know what this is like think in terms of running out into the street and looking backwards because that's exactly what happens when you run into the middle of the field in an answer Football League the receivers looking one way he's concentrating on the catch and then wow look at the hit five barrows and I'll tell you what Johnson held on [Applause] there somebody something down the fields in the stands [Music] somebody flipped down there out of the stands of course that brings to mind the famous snowball incident of a couple of years ago in Denver on one of those Monday night games against the 49ers was an impressive Drive yes indeed it was you talked about the patience necessary against the wind and with the clock ticking down executed a masterful drive right there which problem there as he nails it through so we've got five minutes and 50 seconds to go Elway has moved the Broncos down the field to a second you see the separation on that drive he drilled it into Vance Johnson's everlasting credit how he hung on after that hit from Mark Kelso that amazes me Johnson getting his fourth touchdown reception of the year and you see the numbers now for Elway and after remember it wasn't that long ago we were three for 15 in this category now he's 12 for 28 and the long last there's a smile on his face build reputations and legends are made like that people will say forget the drivin Elway I'll never forget the drive last year in the AFC Championship game 98 yards for a touchdown and Vance Johnson being able hang on to a football in traffic when other defensive backs around the league see that they're going to say either receiver now that's made at a 21-14 ballgame we're gonna take one more look at this touchdown to give you an impact to appeal of the impact well you really can't appreciate unless you've been in that situation before well you've been there you played in this league for a lot of years and I know you had your share of hits and I'm just glad that this body never had to take punishment like that my goodness my playing partner in those days he's back in Denver Dave Logan outstanding receivers used to take a lot so we kick off now to the bills man and now it's go pick up cast across the 20 I was trying to dig that [Music] [Applause] in that scramble down there the ball was loose we saw them digging and thought it was a token effort after the play had been whistled dead that's not the case and the Broncos who were on the ropes not that many minutes ago have an opportunity right forced to turnover and we'll take another look Baskar going to the right of your screen number 89 very loosely he does not have two hands on it before his knees touched the ground and Denver was on it trying to see which one of the Broncos came out of there with the football dick Jorgensen [Applause] there's the booth Arctic he was the chief of officials for the National Football League is here as the replay official today as the reviewing process is underway and you can imagine the thoughts churning now through the mind to Daenerys because this is a critical fall coming up right here not to mention the thoughts going through this gentleman dad Marv lady let's take another look at it as you can see the right of your screen number 89 and Tasker is held up right there now if his knees don't touch the ground it's a good call I can't tell from that angle so I couldn't tell but apparently from the this angle here I think will give you a better idea but I think that it's a good call now seeing his knees are down yet the ball is out the ball is out the ball belongs to we're waiting for the official judgement from upstairs mark Munford was the man down here who got on top of the football for the Broncos and you really have to maintain your poise in that situation because the worst thing you can have happen [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] take over first down you know I'm doc penalty for the protestations of the Buffalo Bills and you just can't do that Alicia can't say some of the things that they probably said that moves the ball to the [Applause] [Applause] winder inside the tin is still struggling forward until they Bend him back one goes along with Cornelius Bennett you see radish Shack in there turning him back it's gonna be a game to about the seven yard line Gary and I talked about this earlier it's easy to know how to play when you have to come from behind but when you're not accustomed to playing ahead and knowing that you got to take care of the football [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Jackson doesn't host Sammy winder pressure by Bruce Smith sailing wider with the football have the hole open it close quickly and make he may have been the man on the football and of course we await to see if that's good they've got about 15 body [Applause] and you see it on the sidelines the rookie Odom's comes out of there with the football and Sammy winder a two-time Pro Bowler looking for the opportunity to get the Broncos back into a potential overtime or winning situation have surrendered the ball and veteran football club veteran Pro Bowl back just can't do this you just cannot turn the football over to the defense inside your 10-yard line at the unforgivable mistake [Applause] Sean McMann enade Odom's jubilant on the defensive through the bills trying to cling to a seven-point lead [Applause] really getting pumped up now 20 yards and 20 tough yards the bells saw something special and Jamie Hewlett even though he played at tiny Benedictine college he told his 230 pounds runs about a 4/5 40 picks up 20 yards right now won't go down even though the Denver Broncos are tackling the football they're going for the football first and the tackle second six carries 49 yards for the rookie and [Applause] the line of scrimmage check the stretch run another games around Pittsburgh back in front of Kansas City on the field golden philadelphia has taken a lead over washington on a field goal so a couple of changes transpiring and close games there Cleveland as you saw breezy Green Bay stood over Chicago San Diego for the first time not only in the the final score and again San Diego with a comeback victory they've done it all season Raiders also coming back fair and by three [Applause] [Music] the opportunity for their first colonel [Applause] counting down close to the 3-minute mark 301 right there's the rookie oh yeah [Music] the San Diego's victory over Indianapolis a big big role [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now [Music] [Applause] and the reason why he plucked that past Steve Grossman portal muscle on the fly these will conform us along the play and couldn't keep coverage left side of your screen number 45 is Wilson now he pulled up he's grabbed a muscle Andre Reed beat him badly big play by Kelly and Reed first down close to midfield of the 49 to 24 to go Kelly took a shot to because he was hunkered over as he came away [Applause] [Applause] go [Music] [Applause] well a week ago against Cleveland and overtime Vince Abbot wanted for the Chargers here's his 39 yarder with 12 seconds to play at the Hoosier dome bingo after trailing 13 nothing San Diego now 7 and 1 comes back to beat the Colts 1613 [Applause] he's got a real [Applause] he's just had a tremendous Bill's holding the back of his head and any movement there on that has a rather ominous [Music] yardage today blocked the punt for a safe deal is almost attached I'll tell you why it's such a big loss because it appears that the Buffalo Bills are going to be tied for first place in the AFC East Division and in order to keep that thing going if they want to think big they need [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he is strong I think they may have found the full-back Mueller rare combination of power and speed ice number 39 now he's going to break outside pullbacks don't usually do this because they don't have the speed to get around the corner but this young fella does put his head down Tony Lily went down nine yards on the pick up to 11 to go Bill's moving the football protecting his seven-point lead Muir for the second time today [Music] Hilary had a fumble in the first quarter and he loses it but the girls get her back and we see for [Applause] Bill's in possession of coop reasons fantastic finishes 1986 the Indianapolis Colts are losing again this time to Atlanta trailing by 2 with only 20 seconds left all they can do is watch as the Falcons prepare to kick it away 14 straight losses for Holtz now hole it the pot is blocked Kate Randall spike it it's bouncing back to the 15 Eugene Daniel scoops it up in France home cold swim two minutes to go in Buffalo I'm Gary Gerald along with Reggie Rutger has been an entertaining afternoon of football the Broncos were on the ropes came back that the turnover they wanted with an opportunity to tie this ballgame at 21 but then Sammy winder fumbled the bills took possession on the recovery and they have now moved into Denver Territory and they have to protect for two more minutes to get what will be their fourth win of the year and bring them up to 500 football let's take a look at the Denver Broncos report card on the day today no way who had so much problems in the so many problems in the first half trying to complete passes against the wind got the numbers going as he generated a couple of scoring drives after all we'll take a look at the report time after this particular player [Applause] it's only for the 35-yard line Simon Fletcher you can hear the hollering along the sidelines for the still plenty 114 Bills have exhausted their supply of timeouts now they can no longer stop the fly 58 Buffalo leading this 121 into 14 and they have for just short of a 35-yard dan Reeves a very concerned head coach we mentioned earlier the tough schedule that the Broncos have they've got you Monday night in there at Los Angeles against the Raiders at San Diego Chargers again a winner today then New England life gonna be tough [Applause] the inside handoff the watch to stay in did a nice job of doing so right there deceased apart moving [Applause] you see the countdown continuing Kelly with a nine yard touchdown pass to Andre on the ground ridic scored one from the two black spots that led to a pair of field goal pair of safeties and then a 30-yard field goal from Norwood constitutes the 21 points Buffalo that way out of 15 yard touchdown pass to Johnson and chamois wire had a six yard touchdown run resulting in the only score so now with a fourth down for Buffalo the Broncos gonna get their hands it appear [Applause] and we'll take the 5-yard penalty 102 to go [Applause] they continue to sort it out and see where the ball is spotted we'll take a look at the bills report card today the rushing story is certainly a significant factor as well as those two blocked punts Riddick the 78 yards rushing block one of those putts has to block the other team that games only 21 yards and they're down last week losing to Washington [Applause] those are going to be coming this time John kids standing back in his own 46 yard line here they come he gets to kick away [Applause] bring him back out to the 20 so la why the seconds 49 seconds to go I saw the clock take a couple of extra ticks after that ball was through the endzone it was 51 and now it's 49 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we mentioned the Johnson Johnson affair a receiver son comes down to 49 seconds here in Buffalo the Broncos have gotta go 80 yards and they've gotta go against the wind and Bennet is in the ball game when alias Bennett sees had an impact in the pass rush situation a way to work out of the shotgun [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the third Shack of the day for the booze I want to tell you something greatest compliment anybody can pay you in this game is when they double-team you an even bigger compliment has to be when they double-team a rookie who hasn't even played football in 11 months they just double-team that young man he still continues to run 30 seconds to go now we have whistles contacts three times the bills three times the bills have gotten to Elway today that way has only been in this game for five years and seems like he's been around for a lot longer than that he remains almost unflappable in this situation you remember you mentioned that Super Bowl got them to the Super Bowl [Applause] beeping the bag of tricks right now [Applause] to set up fires and drills it out the K loses the football that's a three white grain is there jimson purposes this ball game is they ruled in a reception and the ball knocked away the second turnover in the late stages of this contest is she whether or not this one will be subject to any review all the time we've got 22 seconds to go let's take another look Reggie this played pretty much typifies the entire day for the Denver Broncos what he was trying to do was he lateral the the football to su coming on the outside it was one of those ladder plays will you cook and then you toss the ball outside but he never had an opportunity to pinch the football one of the bills shaken up waiting to see who it is who stretched out of the 22 yard line Derrick burrows who can see now what a big win for this buffalo organization with 22 seconds to go if they're able to hang on and do it and certainly they ought to be able to because Denver has no means of stopping the clock at this point time now for our most valuable player award sponsored by Budweiser what a tough way to leave a ballgame for an MVP Rob Riddick the Buffalo is today's MVP he ran 19 times for 78 yards he scored one touchdown he blocked a punt that resulted in a safety Budweiser will make a contribution to the United Way on behalf of all the MVPs selected in today's games certainly hope that the injury to him is not severe see burrows coming back and he appears to be okay after being shaken up a moment ago and with all that we stood there with all that we saw and it not been for the fumble that down inside the 10-yard line Denver still had a chance to play although I'm not so sure that they will deserve another win because certainly the Buffalo Bills I'll play them soundly turns around salutes the crowd 65,000 strong roaring their approval as we see the final seconds tick away and a bitter bitter loss for Dan Reeves of the Denver Broncos whose record now for three and one on a day when San Diego has already won to stretch their advantage in the AFC West the handshake with Marv Levy these Buffalo Bills four and four 2114 is our final score the bills when a big one in a moment we'll continue to review the action of today's big Buffalo win here at rich Stadium for Backson Buffalo this round goes to Kelly and the bills a big win over Denver certainly a disappointing loss for the defending AFC champion Denver Broncos but maybe the dawn of a new era for the Buffalo Bills as Cornelius Bennett defensively he certainly made an impact in this one today a couple of blocked punts leading to a pair of field goals and the bills go on to this big victory today by a final score of 21 to 14 the bills now for and for Denver for three and one stay tuned for the second half of our doubleheader some of you will see Miami and the Cincinnati Bengals others see the surprising Oilers take on the San Francisco 49ers for Reggie record Gary Gerald sings so long
