1987 Week 14 - Philadelphia Eagles at NY Jets

east looked like this the jets atop and facing two division opponents all they had to do was win both of those and they seemed in control they lost them both and both convincingly and so now they're six and seven and mathematically they still have a chance but it is very slim i'm pat summerhall with john madden and with all that in mind john how did the jets and joe walton approach this game well you know they know that they were terrible the last two weeks and as joe walton says if we can't respond when we're playing the miami dolphins and the new england patriots we really aren't a playoff team anyway so i think they're coming into this game they really don't have much confidence so all they're looking for try and get a win and maybe get some confidence back and as far as the philadelphia eagles are concerned and coach buddy ryan although they're out of it their record five and eight he seems optimistic and enthusiastic about the future well at least he has a smile on his face and i think what he's optimistic about as you say is his future he said that he thinks after one more draft they can be a playoff team after two more drafts they can be a super bowl team [Applause] giant stadium again in east rutherford new jersey and john telsek will kick off instead of paul mcfadden who usually does jojo townsell back deep for the jets along with tracy martin [Music] intelligence kick off to about the 28th stopped by the leader of the special teams ty allard ken o'brien is the jet quarterback and this is the defense he'll be looking at reggie white mike pitts jerome brown and clyde simmons the three linebackers seth joyner byron evans starting in the middle in place of reichenbach royale young and william frizzell the corner of action terry hogan andre waters the two safety men first and tens yet at their own 29 roger [Music] johnny hector the two runners behind o'brien [Music] batted away at the last second intended for kurt stone royale young very nearly had six here's the offensive set up for the jets o'brien the quarterback vic and hector the runners tune and stone wide receivers the offensive line really five guards in the middle of that sweeney fields bingham alexander mcelroy and the tight end is mickey schuler o'brien on second and ten [Music] byron evans made a stop [Music] well you know here you look out there in the corner if there's any place that the eagles are having a tough time this year and one thing that they have to to really try and get some new guys that's defensive backs this is what it looks like when they run away from you i think buddy ryan wants his corners to get up to be more physical together to make something happen don't lay off don't be scared as he says the way they play defense you better be aggressive third and five o'brien back to throw outside intended for hector incomplete andre waters on the coverage mike pitts hit o'brien just as he let it go and that wasn't the type of start that joe walton and ken o'brien were talking about you know they wanted to they really don't have confidence they wanted to get some confidence the first pass is almost picked off the second time he throws he gets up looking at his ear hole dave jennings gets off a fine kick in the direction of bobby morris he fair catches it at his own 26. but a 40 yards by jennings you know one of the things about the jets in the last two weeks particularly this is randall curningham the quarterback and the defense he'll be facing three-man front gastineau getting a start first time this year kleco in the middle marty lyons moves from left to right gordon benson kevin macarthur and bob crabill the linebackers humphrey and carl howard the corners rich piano and harry hamilton are the two safety men they've really had problems in the second [Music] [Applause] [Music] here is the philadelphia offensive set up cunningham the quarterback tony and byers the runners quick and kenny jackson the wide receivers the offensive line has darwin adam schreiber jerry ferry bob lansey joe conwell on the right side and the tight end is john spagnola quickly jackson both split wide to the right on second and nine fires split out to the left he was the first man there [Music] no game it's interesting joe klecko of course is leading the league and jumping off sides you know he lines up there over the center and he gets cockeyed and stuff so what he's doing he's he's trying to work on his quickness he wants to get in the backfield as the same time the ball of snap so therefore early in the game it seems like he always picks up some offsides or encroachments seven times in the last two games chris carter in the lineup now for the eagles and cunningham out of the shotgun goes for carter i don't think he ever saw the ball came straight over his head sean dykes was the closest defender he never picked it up well as you see he's looking over his left shoulder then he turns and looks over his middle then he turns and looks over his right shoulder so he tried to pick it up from the left side tried to pick it up over the top and then tried to find it from the right side and he was over three and see him john kelsey back to kick and jojo townsell back yard line and the eagles will take over from there i beg your pardon will take over from there nothing nothing first quarter 35 remaining giant stadium the eagles and the jets you can see when it rains bad it causes problems for everyone they're they're trying to keep their game plans dry over in the jet sideline they have to keep it under the plastic and every time they want to look they have to dig through and pull that stuff out and see what they want to do just have johnny hector as the lone setback in rocky cleaver the back up tight end goes in motion right o'brien incomplete intended for mickey schuler knocked down by gary cobb you know one thing the eagles do more than any other team in the nfl is that's change their defenses buddy ryan was saying that they used 20 different coverages 10 different fronts that would be 10 different front alignments and he says the bad news is we'll only play about two of them right probably we'll get two of them correct he said but i think in this game so far they have been in a different defense alignment and coverage on every play hector and vic behind o'brien hand off the hector [Music] freeman mcneil who normally would share time with hector hector stopped by jerome brown but mcneil is not even active for this game i think you see one of the problems here with the jets their offensive line is not a strong line and they really can't control the defense they really don't get any movement they don't open many holes you see right there see all those green jerseys on the line of scrimmage the offensive line has to knock some of those guys the other way basically they're playing with five guards up front basically they're too small o'brien back to throw stampers out of the pocket incomplete throws the grounder intended for hector the jets particularly john i started to say a minute ago in the first half they've really had problems what's that scoring margin we were talking about before well in the two games combined in miami game in the new england game they've lost the first half 62 to six and you can just see now in this first half that offensively they have no confidence whatsoever so jennings back and bobby morris deep for the eagles as joe walton said we haven't been able to stay with our game plan because we've been so far behind so early it doesn't look very good 0-0 either though it doesn't four signals fair catch collision i don't think he had a chance to catch it dykes comes up with a ball let's see what happened though i think his own guy is the guy that got in the way though watch him here he's coming up to receive it look that's totally tossy i think that bumps him not a jet so there's no penalty on that play [Applause] john dykes made the recovery this is one they're going to look at again i'm sure that has to be the jet ball you can't call interference on your own guy that looks okay to me a jet seat you have to give him an opportunity to catch the ball and the guy that didn't give him that opportunity was his own guy total of chassis mccarter is the referee they say it was the eagles ball uh he has to be wrong on that you can't give it to him i mean boris fumbles the ball he's calling for a fair character he's illegally touched by a member of the kicking team and then squirted autobahn then there's a receiving team football first and then i don't agree with that to me that's the jets ball his own guide runs into him after a fair catch and the jets recovered how the eagles get it back i have no idea well they have it and the score is nothing nothing with 11 35 left first quarter reason here that the eagles have the ball is the ball never touched an eagle see they get their toddler toss who runs into bobby morse but neither one of them touched the ball now right here the first one that touches it is a jet so then that makes it just a 21 point a 21-yard punch to that point there and it's the eagles ball i thought it hit one of the eagles originally i did too mike quick is put out wide to the left that's back nova on the move and cunningham gets it out to kenny jackson they're not able to do much with it either pickup of only three yards gastineau and alex gordon ought to make the stop it was an interesting play it was a screen pass out here to jackson and what they do is they pulled the line out tried to get them out here in front of them and of course the jet defense played it well second and seven with 1108 left in the first quarter giant stadium pat summerall john madden randall cunningham the quarterback buyers and tony behind him was in the backfield just as the handoff took place a loss of three either one of these offenses today looked like they practiced this week look at it here it is here they get penetration they were trying to run a trap and it looks like they just came back and tony didn't really hit that hole very quickly but pleco got penetration and that play looked like a bum play from the start jackson comes wide right this time with quick inside him in the slot and they have garrity and carter on the other side [Music] [Applause] maybe a first down and yes 10 or 11. quick made the catch and holmes made the stop here's a real problem for the jets you see the eagles come out here in four wide receivers now when you don't have many defensive backs that really puts you in a bind because if you put a good guy here and a good guy here you still have two more to cover so that's the thing that they've been having trouble with one is covering but two is being able to cover off when they put four wide receivers because then you need four corners first down at midfield for the eagle cutting hands [Applause] a gain of 47. it'll be first and goal from there we watch jackson he's just coming off the line of scrimmage against the zone humphrey has to get a bump on him when you play that double zone the short guy has to bump him when he does it you let a guy like jackson run through your secondary and miano can't get over to that side good pass protection here watch joe conwell here blocking against mark gastineau gets a double team there gives cunningham time to find jackson you see that zone defense if you don't bump guys they're just going to eat you up first and goal from the three then for the eagles [Music] barrels for a touchdown from three yards out kyle clifton made the hit a lot of nbc's at giant stadium today but those who are here make things pretty vocal well they've seen the same things happen to him you know getting uh getting in trouble early not having a pass rush on defense or being able to cover and those things will make some some long days for you that sort of mounts up doesn't it well i think all their problems came out on that one play mcfadden to kick chalchick is the holder support is perfect and with nine minutes and 13 seconds left to play in the first quarter at giant stadium the philadelphia eagles lead the jets seven to nothing nothing the eagles over the jets that's the story of the philadelphia scoring drive five plays 61 yards a big play the pass from cunningham to jackson touchdown run by tony kickoff by kelsey [Music] that is terry mark tracy martin add a little gap for a moment about the 24 stop by kai allard again ty allard is is one of the the top cover men on this eagle team in fact they got to say and ty goes to the runner just run him down there through blockers around guys boom fine ball carrier so far they've kicked off twice and he's made both tackles yeah here comes old pie there goes old man i got the runner buddy ryan's type of player [Music] let's watch that play to kenny jackson again here's jackson now the jets are going to come up and run a double zone coverage here this way and this way but this guy here has to bump here if you let him get free then he's running the corner on your safety miano now watch what happens down here in the bottom of the screen jackson comes off he doesn't get hit by humphrey now he's running through their secondary they could have thrown that corner to either side close to a first down after a gain of three i think he has it right now for an nfl update let's go to brent busberger in new york well pat the bengals strike first on the saints maybe this is the day they'll put it all together and hold on messiahs pass deflected cut by eddie brown for the score also the steelers have kicked a field goal they lead houston there three nothing back to patton josh it's seven nothing here on the exchange from center between o'brien and the eagles say they have it and it looks like they do the eagles recover and they'll take over and about the jet 33 mike pitts made the recovery [Applause] hey you know you talk about confidence and how important confidence and and those types of things are and then you get to the point where you can't even get the snap that's really hitting rock bottom and i think that the jets offensively are coming very close to the bottom right now well you dig that hole early and no wonder you can't stick with your game plan first down philadelphia and the jet 33. [Music] bobby humphrey made the stop the jets have had a lot of injuries in the secondary they've lost russell carter this year jerry holmes lester lyles carrie glenn it seems like you know at that left corner spot they've had four different guys start there so every team that comes in here to play the jets starts off throwing to their right their offensive right to jet's left it's amazing how those things get around all you have to do is watch it hey there it is let's us try it in the game with the tight end this is totally straight ahead and that'll be enough for another first down for philadelphia gain of six rich piano made the stop remember a couple weeks ago we did the eagles against the giants and tony started a tailback and michael haddock started a fullback buddy ryan says that haddocks was a better blocker and that's why he did that because of the giants linebackers lawrence taylor and carl banks he said i needed a big fullback in there that could block and flocking has not been one to keep buyers of strength so he's changed things around today and tony is the full back and fires is the runner cunningham was looking at buyers bob crabble got a hand up and knocked it away [Music] either crable was coming on a blitz or he was really faked out by that play pass because he was right on the line of scrimmage and in a position to knock that down brings up second and 10 at the 22. watch it he's right up there at the top of the picture now he's he started on a blitz or started to come and then he just stopped so that was either the plate fake got him or he was coming on a blitz [Music] tony is the lone set back behind cunningham this time up the middle intended for jimmy giles but he was well covered by vincent and macarthur you know the jets are starting mark gastineau today for the first time in a year and a half they've moved marty lyons from left hand over to the right end and of course they left joe klecko in the middle but that isn't helping them today because they're still not getting a good pass rush or the eagles offensive line is doing a good job of pass protection and that play didn't look like anyone got off the line of scrimmage that brings up a third down at 10 at the 22-yard line of the jets guaranty is put wide to the left this time again cutting hand this time they managed to get him out of bounds alex gordon knocks him out no gain and we'll have mcfadden for a field goal you notice about cunningham is he's really dangerous as a runner but most of the time he's more dangerous when he runs to the left that's when he usually throws when he gets flushed out and runs right he usually runs the ball when he gets flushed out and goes left that's when he really hit some big passes an interesting discussion people have always said it seems over the years about how much more difficult it is to run to your left and throw that's not necessarily what everybody believes mcfadden from 38 yards out and he's good and the eagles open it up to 10 nothing 6 18 left to play in the first quarter at giant stadium and the eagles lead the jets 10 nothing baker's club record it was 38 yards and the eagles lead it 10-0 and that's the story of their scoring drive six plays if that's a drive 12 yards kept it a minute and 37 seconds after they recovered the jet fumble john telchick set to kick off for philadelphia tracy martin and jojo townsville back deep for the jets short kick [Music] taken by rocky cleaver and cleaver who is a wonderful athlete is stopped by the kicker [Applause] return of 24. well you know one thing to jets because the area that they are strong in is a kickoff return with jojo townsell so people have been kicking squib kicks different types of kicks so they have two tight ends in the wet they have flavor there just for that usually the wedge is made up of guard type guys blocking type guys but because they kicked the ball around different ways to them the jets put tight ends back there picked up three on that last little spin stopped by reggie white one of the things that johnny hector does as well as anyone in this league is short yardage and goal line and when he gets in that situation he has that ability to find that soft spot in the defense or jump over it that's why he has so many touchdowns kurt stone was demanding motion o'brien gets it outside he breaks one tackle gets into eagle territory out of bounds at their 47 a gain of 10. terry hogue knocked him out of bounds zeke bradkowski the old green bay quarterback he was signaling into plays to ken o'brien you know it's interesting when you're talking to buddy ryan last night he said the two goals we have to do are the two things we have to do defensively one is rush the passer and two is cover number 88. just even talking these guys number 88 this is roger vick right side picked up only a yard stopped by andre water nobody has done a very effective there's the bretkowski of whom john spoke a moment ago the quarterbacks for the jets it'll make it second and nine after vic got a yard and the jets out of the huddle in a hurry [Music] first down jets as he gets to the eagle 35 stopped by gary cobb yeah i've always said the thing that gives a quarterback more confidence than anything is a good running game you know the jets this first quarter haven't been able to do anything offensively so now this may be the type of thing that gets them started they run a trap in there in the middle good trap block good man block get that hole for hector and now they can get something going you know they're getting a little movement in there [Applause] right now for an nfl update well let's don't do an nfl update let's cover the breakfast there's an official right in the middle there roydell young is the eagle involved and now it's all over kurt stone in the wrestling match with royale that started on the first play of the game and i think i think gordon mccarter the referee uh was the second guy in there in the fight he dove right in second and eight we're all at the eagle 33 the eagles leading 10-0 o'brien out of the shotgun this time up into the pocket pass is caught by schuler eight yards close to a first down stopped by terry hogue not quite enough you know but it is something once you can get that once you can get a couple of runs in there now you can slow down that pass rush you see now you get them thinking run now you can get a little more time as we see the way o'brien ends up there you don't get a lot more time because carrie cobb was right on him as he threw it close enough to measure and they bring out the sticks now one of the things of course is reggie white is the exact leader in the nfl [Applause] with 17 he needs five more to tie mark gastineau season high of 22. and of course he said he might get those today he's going after five today against the jets so far he uh he has nothing he has an air ball shooting zeroes reggie mcelroy doesn't necessarily agree with it the idea that he will get them all today although reggie white also plays over the center and that's where he is right now phone was the man in motion brown gets to o'brien just as he has to throw it away now as promised for an nfl update let's go to brent busberger in new york in the studio pat the bengals are doing a job no huddle and quick plays when they call them and they've got two scores against the saint defense already this is jennings catching this touchdown pass now another one of great interest involves buffalo and new england a severe wind the bills are working again patriots lead at 7-0 let's go back to patton johns the eagles lead at the giant stadium 10-0 over the new york jets o'brien's three out of eight for 27 yards second and 10. stopped by evans only got a yard but this has got to be in that holding area there's a fired up middle linebacker byron evans he's starting his second game for the eagles buddy ryan says that he drafted him to be a middle linebacker holding number 64 offense 10 yard finally repeat second down all against bingham guy bingham is the center right there in the middle of the screen the left of the screen i don't know it looks okay there it looks like he's just getting pushed down by mike fitz and he pulls pits down with him that's the first penalty of the game we have 250 left to play in the first quarter legit the second most penalized team in the league here's o'brien somebody gets a hand on him that's incomplete byron evans very nearly picked it off johnny hector was the intended receiver and it was reggie white who almost had his first sack watch him here on on mcelroy reggie against reggie he gets that arm in arm under arm up o'brien just steps away from it and there's byron evans the rookie middle linebacker we're just talking about that's that thing right in his hand look he's checking the gloves and these gloves are supposed to be tackified leather they say why didn't that stick to the ball it's a word i never heard until today attackify well you know they don't have stickum anymore and that's why all these players wear gloves here's o'brien out of the spread formation pulls it down and guesses the dennis flyton who came out of the backfield andre waters on the stop a pickup of 11 but it'll bring on the field goal team well after that penalty the jets were third and 20. o'brien was trying to go deep he was trying to go to kurt sohn in the right end zone of course the eagles had good coverage royale young down there so he had to come off to a short guy and then settle for the field goal matt leahy will try from 42 yards out he's only missed three all year long and one of those was 63 yards he's had a great year this from 42 yards out ryan the holder he is good [Applause] that again it 10-3 the eagles over the jets pat summerhall john madden and we're a giant stadium in east rutherford new jersey on a rainy foggy afternoon very good that's that new map i have where you just add and subtract and do stuff in your head or make stuff up 151 left to play in the first quarter the eagles over the jets 10-3 at the moment chris carter and bobby morse go back deep for the eagles and leahy who just hit from 42 yards out will kick off for the jets [Music] for just a few steps winds it in the direction of tarnish and he picks it up at about the three yard line and has not much room to roll again a shoving match breaks out [Applause] these two teams haven't met in regular seasons since 1978 but they have played each other in pre-season games since then so they're not that unfamiliar but buddy ryan says we don't count those well you know the other thing buddy ryan says he learned from weep eubank weeble always says if you ever play someone in the preseason then playing during the regular season lose to them in the pre-season trip that's another one of those things you can just figure out in your head it is cunning intended for quick he was open and so was jackson but gastineau put the pressure on cunningham it looked like cunningham had three guys out there that he was throwing to he has three guys in a line here's mark gastineau against joe conwell conwell's getting a little help there from his guard lancy does a pretty good job of keeping gastrono off until right after cunningham frozen second down byers and coney behind cunningham joe conwell the eagles right tackle fired off the lane of scrimmage unfortunately 79 often too early sometimes you get so fired up you've been looking at mark gasterno there 99 you got to pass protect him you get so fired up you just want to get a good start so boom you just jump off before they even stop the ball that'll make it second and 15. 136 left to play in the first quarter eagles 10 jets this time it's the jets they give it right back to him yeah i've never understood how the nose tackle 73 defense can jump off sides when he lines up right on the ball look he's looking right at that ball you go when the ball is snapped but pleco is trying to hit that gap you see that gap between the center and the guard he's trying to hit it before that guard can get up so he's thinking quickness so much that i think that's the reason he jumps offside because he's sure not watching movement brings it back to second and 10. and he only got three you know mike carson was the defensive coordinator of the jets and he was the guy who started that alignment wherever he did that with the pittsburgh steelers right joe green he would start in there put the guy in the gap turn one way and then the idea is that you can hit that gap and you can't be single blocked [Applause] third down greg garrity split wide to the left cunningham intended for jackson who slipped down just as the ball was about to arrive you know this field is real wet and from the numbers to the sidelines is real slick today i was watching the guys in the in the pre-game warm-up and there seemed to be a lot of falling down but if you don't have the right shoes on this field it's like being on an ice rink he has a big crown in the middle and over on the sidelines where that water settles here's telstra's punt lion drive feel it on one hop by jojo chancelle down [Music] we're talking about the gloves and the fact that they don't allow stick them anymore but what about these gloves well they have right here in the front what's called tackified leather and you can hear it there see so when the ball comes in it just sticks it's like sticking but it doesn't stay on the ball and you can hear the the tackiness in there see in this stuff here is the is the stick em but it doesn't come off on the ball so when the ball comes it's just wet just grabs in here you can just hear that thing go and and that's what everyone is wearing now that's what all the wide receivers the defensive backs we even see the linebackers wearing them and apparently they're very effective roger vick was the intended receiver on a pass from o'brien seth joyner on the coverage well they're really good if you want stuff to stick to you now i've seen jim mcmahon play quarterback with him and i always wondered why he would do that but he said he throws better spiral with a little of that tackified leather never heard that word before attack a fight i hadn't no i don't even know if it's a word but it is now that's like convolution sacrifice compilation second and ten from the thirty-eight that's true on the move handoff to hector he's hit behind the line of scrimmage and lost a yard [Applause] [Music] locked running with 35 seconds now less than that left in the first quarter as the eagles have proved difficult so far at least to run against [Music] dennis blygen comes in at third and eleven roger vick went out and the eagles make their nickel package substitutions tomb is covered by brazil on the left o'brien in that direction and away from everybody and out of bounds and a first down knocked out by terry holt a gained of 20. [Music] they tuned came out of that wide open the closest guy was william frazelle to him initially see this is for zelda and tune just runs right into him maybe pushed off a little that's why he's so wide open but he had four or five yards on frizzell after he made his break got him going backwards and then he pushed him and then broke and frizzell is one of the biggest corners in the league you know he's six foot three this time tuna split wide to the right and so to the left and o'brien back in the pocket under pressure there's reggie white [Applause] that's his first sack of the day but there's a penalty marker down lord mccarter the referee this one they'll decline i'm sure and that'll give reggie white his 18th sack of the season i'll tell you that'll really be an amazing feat if he can break the sack record in the strike number 64 offense finally declined second down that is the end of the first quarter but i think everyone agrees that reggie white is the best defensive lineman in the league that seems to be pretty much unanimous 10-3 that's the end of the first quarter the eagles lead the jets reggie white just picked up his first sack of the day they're the leaders the single-season quarterback sack leaders gastineau and the jets with the jets in 1984 lawrence taylor last year gastineau again in 1983 tippett manley and reggie white he had 18 last year has 18 this year but remember as john madden said fewer games some accomplishment o'brien on third down pass completes to al toon covered by william frizzell for zell with good coverage but a pickup of 11 not enough for the first down [Music] fourth and five at the 38 and jennings comes on bobby morris goes back deep for philadelphia jennings who of course spent so many years cutting here with the giants short snap as they go with a fake kick new fiola got the first down on a big kick it's first down jeff's a pickup of 19. i think the jets are at that point where as i said they're getting closer close to rock bottom so you're going to try anything but they just snap it to the short guy the fullback fowler and he and then they pull two guards just pulling around the eagles are looking for a punt i'm surprised that the eagles just didn't leave their defense in there in that situation because they had a punt return in there when they hit it and get the first down at the 20. [Applause] [Music] o'brien [Music] a game of 15. you know sometimes a coach has to do that and i give credit to joe walton for making that call sometimes you're kind of sleepwalking you you have your doldrums nothing's going for you and your team has to make something happen if they don't you have to help them make something happen and i think that play was one of those kinds of plays that helps them make something happen first and goal from the five o'brien sends tune out wide to the left [Music] sewn to the right again goes to the spread formation overthrown intended for soon and out of the end zone royale young was right with curzone i think part of that i think when you go for the fake punt and you get the first down and you get down inside and you're on the five yard line i think if you're going to get that lift from it you have to get it in the end zone for a touchdown not have to settle for a field goal i think if the eagles can hold them off here to a field goal that'll be a lift for the eagle if the jets can score seven points it'll be a lift for them so it's second and goals for five o'brien who's tripped up in the backfield by reggie white a loss of three if he's not the best he's close well and that's one of the reasons you know there's a lot of guys who will lead a league in sacks but they don't play the run well and you see this guy not only sacks quarterbacks but he plays a run well dan alexander the right guard was pulling and reggie white just got right in his back pocket and followed him through there and got that fight for a loss so it's third and goal from the nine white by the way is six five and two ninety quick and he runs a four five forty here's o'brien touchdown yards out [Applause] that is what the jets needed someone might have gotten away with a little little shove here and there watch this right over here once you get down here son is the outside man 87 he goes outside then he just comes underneath he just runs right by two eagle defenders andre waters the two safeties andre waters and terry holmes nothing illegal about that lady's extra point is good and we have a time 11 49 left to play in the first half at giant stadium and it's the eagles 10 and the new york guests can man the giant stadium where the eagles and the jets are tied in 10 a piece 11 49 left to play in the first half that play he's set to kick off chris carter and bobby morris back deep for philadelphia leahy of course is number five [Music] 14-yard return let's try to get them separated again and things appear to be almost settled at least let's watch that touchdown again here's kurt zone he's going to come across here in motion and then they have a receiver here a receiver here and then the eagles end up four on two and no one even covers the half back but watch it stone will come all the way across now the eagles are going to have four on two stone just runs right through two for the touchdown look at the half back out in the flat wide open cunningham back to buyers around the corner got four yards out of bounds but a penalty marker on the play stopped by harry hamilton [Music] lord mccarter will let us know illegal block from behind number 81 on the offense 10 yard penalty from the previous spot still first down ball against kenny jackson i think jackson is the guy who got the touchdown for him on that corner pattern and you really want your ends to block but that's a tough thing you know blocking out in the open field see 81 there that's kenny jackson and it's a lot like blocking on a punt return or kickoff return if you're moving and he's moving a lot of times you can't hit them in the back straight pass on first and 20 and another flag down as tony is not going to bounce at about the 20-yard line by bob crabill but a flag down early tony got channeled against the eagles again [Applause] hey i would take that penalty and put him back and and then really try and put the pressure on him and then if you can hold them to third down then go for a punt block and and turn this game around right now number 67 offense half the distance penalty still first down jerry ferry the offensive center number 67 call for holding that'll bring up first and 25 the ball all the way back to the sixth now the jets aren't a big blitzing team but i think now is the time when you get them backed up like this i think you do glitches flips impressive well they're showing that right now cutting hands back to tony and tony gets very little picked up two right straight up the middle see that's a good thing about about blitzing or pressing is it you're going to hit every gap so if they run you got a defensive guy penetrating every gap that they're going to try and run into second down in and 22 back at the nines seattle has gone ahead of the bears [Music] [Applause] catch as carl howard was back there with him that's one thing about randall cunningham he has a very strong arm and you say you know about running left and not being able to throw his arm is like a whip and he can get out there going out to the right or the left and i've seen him run out there like that just with a flick of the wrist throw the ball 60 yards greg garrity into the lineup mark castano getting his first start in a year and a half as john madden said earlier hoping to put some pressure on randall pennehan the jets jump and there's a flag on the play cunningham goes through and thinks guaranteed a receiver incomplete bobby humphrey right with it hey that's that's that's the dumbest thing that jets could do there is you got them backed up you got things going your way and then you give them five yards and a free play i think it was joe klecko jumped off sides again the amazing thing is they didn't keep rushing they let cunningham just stand back there and throw that ball if it's complete they don't have to take it number 73 on the defense five yard finally still third down now watch joe klecko he's right here i can see jumping sides i really can't but if you're going to jump offsides and the player's going at least go get him go rush him go do something don't let him have that free play he got it third and 17. that's nine times in three games pleco's been offside cunningham fumble the eagles fought on it i think it was joe conwell who made the recovery [Applause] the guy that made the the hit and a heck of an effort was rookie linebacker alex gordon that's where cunningham is a dangerous throwing when he's flushed out and running to his left here we see the pass protection here cunningham is going to come out here to his left now watch 55. here he comes gordon he's the guy that chases him down catches him from behind darwin who made the recovery kelsey gets off another four foot pouches in front of jojo council and gets a little bit of an eagle bounce but the gents will take over in pretty good shape but 36 yard punt 10-10 the score with 9 44 left to play in the first half [Applause] the eagles broke on top early and the jets have come back to tie it 9 44 left first half are all john madden a giant stadium in east rutherford new jersey 10 10 between the eagles and the jets the jets must win to keep alive in a playoff hopes of course five and eight and out of the playoff picture but looking forward to the promising future in the words of buddy ryan here's roger vick left side not much byron evans led the eagles tankers he got three joe i think is going to be a pretty good player for these eagles and jerome brown you know he really plays the run well a defensive tackle he was the eagles number one draft joyce real strong but he has a bad elbow in fact he has some chips and stuff in there and he's going to have to have an off season operation i think after that operation and a training camp next year he's going to be a force to be reckoned with second down pitches back to hector and he throws it back to o'brien o'brien gets both feet down and it's a pass completion royale young was the nearest eagle 17 yard game that one looked almost like it never was going to work but it did well it's not a bad play they started out here to hector here now after he pitches to hector then o'brien comes back here pitches back to him and then he throws to two what's your play here they try and make it look like run left run run run stop throw back now o'brien catches it and then he looks up look what he finds a lot of work for that play though june has caught five passes already for 68 yards so brian gives again to roger vick and there's some room there down to the 20 tripped up by byron evans after a gain of eight [Music] the one thing that he did watch this there's gonna be a little delay the eagles are going to penetrate now watch the penetration right there there's light in there the outside linebacker but look at the big gap that it causes and then of course vic is able to get through that gap all until br by byron evans gets there second and two at the 20. [Music] here's o'brien back to throw [Applause] that's going to be a shot to the head i'm sure gizelle and hogue were the two eagle pass defenders i know buddy ryan's saying what is that that's what i teach him number 33 on the defense first down goal to go so it wasn't ho coke was the guy that hits him 33 is brazil the cover guy the guy coming from behind saying that he hit him before the ball got there he didn't say anything about hope it had to be that left arm wrapped around the back of tomb so it's first and goal at the 5. [Music] he's got a jet touchdown roger vick over the left side and the jets take the lead [Applause] if it gets that same hole on the same type of play the outside linebacker the eagles seth joyner got the penetration they shut off the inside and it was a big hole for roger vick and that's his first nfl touchdown for 43 roger vick well they expect a lot more from him he was their number one draft choice leahy for the extra point with ryan holding and the jets take the lead for the first time [Music] 808 left to play in the first half and the jets lead the eagles now 17-10 time with the nba on cbs the detroit pistons travel to madison square garden to take on the knicks then at 2 30 eastern time the big h player of the year thurman thomas will leave oklahoma state against the mountaineers of west virginia in the john hancock sun bowl promises to be a merry christmas at least we hope it is we know it'll be right here on cbs sports [Music] leahy's kick is deep and long taken by bobby morris to about the 24 where you spun around and cut down and again there's an engagement way away from the ball [Applause] and they all celebrate well old tie was in there they usually get that guy that's the best cover guy and they have a couple of guys on him and then the plays over and they just keep blocking them that's what happens here the play is over and guys just keep playing i'm gonna get that guy he's not gonna be the first guy down there he hit him so hard he knocked one of his socks down i'll tell you you know you talk about life being tough in the trenches life is tough on those special teams that look like the hook of horns and they just keep going after them they don't care how long they're playing here's cunningham back to throw it gets it out to fires who's hit by troy vinson balls come loose the eagles got it back let's watch that touchdown again pat and we'll see how it happens here here's seth joyner they're going to let him go they drive off gear that gets one hole joiner comes here dan alexander the right guard pulse kicks him out and then this hole has created a big gap here but watch it on the left the guy up on top comes watch that boom kick out right there and a big hole for the fullback come back to second and three comey is hit by crable in the backfield and again the ball is loose [Music] tried to throw it back to cunningham [Applause] unsuccessfully that's one thing you tell your backs never do that watch kravel he's the outside guy he's just missed he's missed by fire and then tony tries to give the ball to cunningham you teach your backs you never do that a loss of five that'll be emphasized there have been a lot of quarterbacks that wouldn't accept it in the past [Applause] don't give it back to me there have been running backs over the years that have lost their jobs giving it back to the quarterback and receivers the play is an incomplete forward pass third down previous spot [Applause] crable is number fifth in the outside guy i'll tell you the whistle should have blown right there and i think tony started to lateral then he realized who he was lateraling it to when he saw it was cunningham he tried to pull it back and the tackified leather didn't attack they call it an incomplete forward pass third and three i don't know how [Applause] that's garrity from cunningham he's got the eagle first down at the 40. hamilton made the stop again for an nfl update let's send you back to new york and here's brent westberger that it was a struggle for the vikings but they finally punched one in the lions gamble on defense and come up snake eyes on the blitz dozier for the touchdown now the big shocker the bengals 24 the saints three back to patton john [Music] 17 17-10 the jets lead the eagles [Music] another fumble and i think joe pleco came up with the ball [Applause] cunningham lost the handle that's why you stay with it joe clicker you see him in there in the middle he's playing off the center you see that's why he he he stays like that because the center can't block him to the side he's going to he's working his way down the line of scrimmage there's a ball in the ground so the jets will take over at the eagle 37.5 yard line they already lead 17-10 they were behind ten-nothing early johnny hector is the lone setback for the man in motion hector hector gets to the eagle 34. pick up a three hey one thing about this game the first quarter was the eagles game the jets just couldn't do anything now the second quarter the eagles can't do anything and the jets are doing everything joe walton has things going so well he can keep his game plan under plastic keep it in the bag what is that plan in a sack he hasn't been able to use it fumble by o'brien and the eagles get it back gary cobb came over with the football o'brien trip coming away from the center when he hit the ground the ball came loose and the eagles get it right back these quarterbacks is something and they having trouble just getting the handle that's the second one for o'brien what he did is he tripped over his left guard on that play tripped over joe fields coming out of there looked like his left foot got caught then when he hit the ground the ball popped out 5 46 left to play in the first half and the jets up by seven at the moment mize's miracle shot to win the master all that coming up here on cbs first down for the eagles and randall cunningham this is the ball out to john spagnola and a gain of seven block running with just over five and a half minutes left to play in the first half chicago has to has to win if they want the second home field because if the bears lose and the redskins win then the bears won't have the home field they would be third in line after the 49ers of course they win and the redskins if they win if anyone understands all this i was just about to say boy it's so complicated this is anthony tony a good tough run for a gain of sticks stopped by harry hamilton [Music] well what's happened is the bears have clinched the playoffs but they haven't done anything for a home field advantage hey there's some hidden out there guys they're knocking their shoes off knocking their socks down that's how tough a run that was that's a collision remember harry hamilton a year ago when he when he hit the the turf here and and split his head wide open first down eagles the ball has a jet 48 spank no long on the move and they get straight ahead to tony again right side for a couple [Applause] hit first by benson and then by kevin macarthur tell you we talked to john about joe klecko and the fact that he's been offsides nine times in the last three games and that cockeyed stance but he has made what everyone says is a miraculous recovery from a knee that almost everyone said was beyond repair and you know and over the years i mean joe klecko has been one of the best nose tackles probably never play this game [Applause] [Applause] [Music] yards behind him hey it's just a matter of time you know that's one thing that the the jets have really had trouble with all year not only injuries here you see carl howard he starts back and then he just gets turned and mike quick just runs right by him that's always been a problem for carl howard he's only a 4-8-40 guy good pass protection here you see they stopped pleco they double team placo they don't let anyone get in cunningham's face so he can step up and throw the ball that he does calc holding the eagles took four plays went 61 yards touchdown pass was 45 yards from cunningham to quick and we have a tie score 17-17 with 335 left to play in the first half all-time reception leaders for the eagles of course harold carmichael would be first the baron pete brett's last second p p hosts third and then quick and bobby wallston the late bobby wallston let's watch that on a chalkboard here's mike quick here's howard howard really respects that speed he's going to start back quick catches up with him howard says it stops for some reason and then turns and goes and quick just goes right by him we see howard is awesome now look at the cushion he's given but quick just shortens it shortens it shortens it then catches up then turns him then runs by him that's a three-step thing catch up hold him run by him and splash when he got him turned inside he had him i think when he got even with him he had him but that shouldn't happen to a cornerback i mean he shouldn't get turned on that thing and of course he shouldn't get run by like that it's easy for us taken by tracy martin 25-yard return stopped by dave blue against the return team as usual the illegal block illegal use of the hands gordon mccarter will identify the culprit illegal block in the back number 39 receiving team 10 yard penalty first though so it'll be first down jets at their own 14-yard line i'll tell you it's it's on ty ellard again i mean the guy blocking ellard you know like i said earlier anytime the guy's the first guy down he's gonna draw some fights and he'll also draw some penalties [Music] remember when o'brien came out that was a year of the quarterback that year the first quarterback chosen was john elway and the last quarterback chosen in the first round was dan marino so the jets of course you know will always be haunted about that one and always be talked about you took o'brien from cal davis when you could have taken mourinho but you could say that you know about 26 other teams and o'brien has got some pretty impressive numbers that's roger vick trying to go right stopped by reggie white and andre waters [Applause] here is that famous 83 draft of quarterbacks yeah blackledge kelly eason o'brien and moreno you wonder if the same guys were there now and the teams had to take them what order they'd be i guarantee you it wouldn't be that order no i think marina would be up there one two but the interesting thing all those guys went to the afc and that year the afc east all got one of [Applause] here's them again was open a flag on the play back at the line of scrimmage [Applause] the eagles indicating that it's going to be against the jets that's jerome brown out there doing the indicating he's probably the guy that they help jerome looks like that jersey's getting a little uh tight on there 53 offense finally either that or their pants are too low well the fires are starting to grow together too that used to be my thing i used to always look and when you couldn't see daylight between the thighs i tell them okay no toledo's here let's start getting some of that weight off we'll see some daylight in there jennings standing about three yards deep in the end zone bobby morse off the side of jennings foot but he gets a good bounce and the jets are down in a hurry it didn't look like much when jennings kicked it but it turned out to be pretty successful paola is face down seems to be okay more information on those quarterbacks look at mourinho well of course mourinho you know the percentage o'brien has had a a a great percentage the biggest thing there to me though is the touchdown look in the right hand column mourinho has thrown 164 touchdowns that's over twice as many as any of those other quarterbacks taken in the same draft that's amazing you look at the second one up there black glitch and you wonder if kansas city might not like to have 1983 draft over again look at that 27. look at jim kelly in two years well i think i think that kelly if i had a if i had to read him i think i'd put elway mourinho and kelly i think those would be the top three and you know kelly's a big strong guy oh yeah i wouldn't be surprised if you do it again in four or five years that maybe kelly would be the guy here's ola number 38 number 30 a beggar pardon well the ground can't cause a fumble but it can cause an injury with these artificial turf fields you know you can just see when they when the guys hit that's like getting a carpet over a parking lot i mean that that that stuff is hard as a rock when they hit you just see them bounce looking at some of the other scores the vikings of course hoping for a wild card spot bears have tied seattle now on a touchdown pass from tom zach to morehead houston 10-6 over pittsburgh saints have come back a bit [Applause] new england beating buffalo they too both of those in fact still alive in the afc eastern division race everybody is first first down philadelphia 17-17 score with 222 left in the first half tony is the lone setback cunningham giles had it and had it knocked away by trevor flag on the play [Applause] to be against the eagles and again illegal use of the hands illegal use of hands number 79 offense 10 yard penalty still first down manuel joe conwell he's out here blocking on mark gastineau see he starts off pretty well and then when gaston starts to get outside him to go around the corner he grabbed him with his right hand astronaut ran up and told the referee about it immediately that's tough that's tough to have a block it in when he's out that wide and you don't have a tight end on your side like being on an island for attacking first and twenty cunningham under pressure this time from marty lyons from the other side watch what they do to gas to know this time they put the tight end spagnola comes out and cuts them first knocks them down then conwell the right tackle comes over and gets him so you know gaston might not be the player that he used to be but i tell you he'll still draw a couple of blockers now and then that's the type of thing that buddy ryan is thinking about you know okay he gets close i'll get him tight end boom you cut him tackle you come over the top on him yes and it was lost about what 35 40 pounds since a couple of years ago cunningham is eight out of 15. going deep for quick interference is going to be called i'm sure the flag is down the pass kicked off by bobby humphrey the interception but a flag on the play and then there's another one right down on the hit so it looks as you say there's going to be an interference penalty and then there's going to be another penalty right there i don't think the jets are going to get the ball in either case humphrey came up with the interception intended for quick the flag went down early and the guy over there in the middle of it was number 39 harry hamilton watch humphrey you see quick is just running by him and now watch hamilton come into the picture nope i don't know i think humphrey reached his hand in there now that looks legal to me he reached his hand in there and came up with the interception then as they run it back there's going to be another flag thrown right here at the end of the play on the sideline that could have been for a late hit out of bounds against the eagles but i don't think that first one was interference in any case they're reviewing [Applause] that was a heck of a play by humphrey i'm not so sure it was a late mass interference number 48 defense personal foul late hit out of bounds number 81 the original passing team the penalties offset replay the down that is mike quick so the eagles will get the ball back so what they're saying is there was interference there by humphrey then he comes up with the interception now quit the guy who was going to catch the ball he's going to be called for a late hit and i would have just let this play play it was jackson for the late hit 81 and matt darwin i don't know who they called it against they did not review it it's second and 20. the penalty's offset and they go back to the 36-yard line tony the lone setback [Applause] i think they're calling too many past interference penalties now alex gordon is a linebacker who on passing downs plays as a defensive end you know we're seeing that more and more in the league you know the giants are doing that with orange favorites new england does it with chippett 17-17 two-minute warning a minute 54 left in the first half i am brandon irv or joined by giants linebacker harry carson they'll take a look take a look at scores and highlights and also hail mary one of the greatest moments in dallas cowboy history third and 24. he falls into 32. [Applause] territory fumbles the ball after a gate of 21. [Applause] and let's see no foreign objects we're going to have a lot of stuff on this a drop back a flush out a run a fumble and a penalty [Applause] oh what joe walton's upset about is that they let cunningham get outside what he's saying you got to contain the quarterback i know when you were talking to joe yesterday here we go [Applause] illegal use of the hand number 47 defense hands to the face five yards from the dead ball spot first and ten that's jerry holmes who had broken ribs you can see that pad on him who was just activated for today's game who's their regular starting quarterback you see now he can hit he'll he can hit legally in that first five yard but what he does is he hits kenny jackson in the face so it's a first down eagles they move the ball into jet territory first and ten at the jet 42 cunningham again operating out of the spread the eagles have all of their timeouts left that one was totally out of sync from the beginning stopped by gastineau [Applause] well they had their secondary if carl howard was up there too in the backfield and you could just see that one coming what you were doing is cunningham was trying to run beyond it and then you throw it in front to your back coming in an inside handoff or an inside pitch and one thing i was just going to say the one thing you can have is penetration eagles use one of their timeouts so they have two left 17-17 tie at giant stadium 118 left to play in the first half cunningham when you asked i started to say a minute ago when you asked joe walton yesterday if he intended to do that he said no bishop we have trouble enough covering all the rest of the guys [Applause] hammers down and gets out of bounds [Applause] close to a first down 11-yard pickup knocked out of bounds by holmes and stops the clock with a minute and eight seconds left to play you see that throw by cunningham it looked like he was a a set shot he went out there or a shot put or something he was out there he started to run watch him he's going to come out here he's going to get flushed out to the right here's gastineau coming he'll go out here beyond him now watch the way he throws just boom just puts it out there a yard shy of a first down it's third to one clock stop with a minute and eight seconds left to play in the first half cunningham back to throw the jets in a blitz and that will be enough for an eagle first down crabal on the stop pickup of four and the eagles take another timeout remaining cunningham took the mustard off of that one you know that's what he's learning to do now is not throw with the same velocity and he saw toddler latassi there and he just kind of looped that one in there halftime cincinnati still leads new orleans new england over buffalo 13 nothing cunningham has made its visit over to the sideline watch cunningham in the touch here you see he sees total lapossy now instead of drilling it there he just kind of bloop whoops it out there because that was one of the raps that they had against cunningham he said that he he threw a short ones too hard [Music] exactly a minute left to play in the first half eagles operating from the jet 30 yard line cunningham straight ahead pulls it down knocked out and taken out by nichols with 50 seconds left to play he picked up seven yeah that's where cunningham is so dangerous he can drop back and throw the ball or he can run right or left and run it or run and throw it now to me this is where he's the most dangerous when he has a ball in the open field and he puts it up now if you come up he can still throw it if you lay back he can still make enough yardage to pick up first downs and be the leading rusher on their team today he has four carries for 29 yards second and three he operates again from the shotgun formation inside the jet 15 to about the 13. did you ever notice after a guy beat someone deep like quick caught that that up for a touchdown how the defense starts getting softer and softer and given a bigger and bigger cushion the eagles have just used their last timeout in the first half score tied at 17. we have 42 seconds left to play in the first half mike quick who earlier caught a 45-yard touchdown pass from cunningham the thing is once they've used that timeout now they have first down and what they have to do is if they complete a pass then they can get up and just throw the ball down and stop the clock really or just throw the ball into the end zone or towards the sidelines but having a first down means that they can waste a play to stop the clock jackson and garrity split wide to the right and quick to the left there's cunningham going deep for quick touchdown his second of the day what a great throw by cunningham humphrey and hamilton were the two jet defenders but quick gets his second of the day from 13 yards out by randall cunningham yeah that's the thing that the jets know they're going to do when you get down here you know they're going to throw it you know they're going to throw it in the end zone you know their big receivers might quick you put two guys on them but your two guys aren't good enough to do anything about it especially when the quarterback throws a strike like that you know that's the frustrating thing when you when you know and you have two guys there and they still beat you for the extra point and it's good and the eagles lead 24-17 i'll tell you what they do here is you'll see the double coverage but quick is just coming right up here and as you say cunningham comes back here and just makes a great throw in there the eagles have two guys on them the jets have two guys on him but they can't do anything but they have double coverage the first thing that first guy should bump him he should hit him when he doesn't hit him then he just lets quick run by him and then neither one of them are good enough to cover him nine plays they went 54 yards in a minute and 45 seconds now my quick in all-time receiving yards moves up the eagle ladder in front of tommy mcdonald and just behind pete peters 13-yard touchdown pass from cunningham to quick quick second score of the day four receptions for 78 yards he certainly is among the best you know what joe walton's thinking he's thinking what do we have to do we have the guy double covered we know that they're going to do it the only thing i would recommend is that first guy get quick in the first five yards squib picked up by dave little and cleaver winds up with the ball and is knocked out of bounds by john 29 yard return by cleaver look at this it looks like a water slide here at the end flavor gets it look at that puddle he causes that does look like fun that looks like something to do with christmas you know like santa claus would come sliding in like that with his reindeer or something a bunch of presents that looked like fun yeah that didn't look i'd love to do that just hit and slide and go like that yeah here's o'brien kurt zone was the intended receiver stops the clock with 25 seconds remaining firsthand you know this field they're going to put in a new turf here next year in this field this this was one of the the best artificial turf in the league and now it's just gotten a little old and you see the problem is you see how slick it gets there in the sides because of the crown as you mentioned and i'll tell you that is tough footing out there now so they're going to have a new field next year gets out of bounds with 18 seconds left and a flag on the play it looked like o'brien got up slowly after that play that there was a late hit on him there is a guy who comes out of a game a battered man i mean he gets hit and knocked around roughing the passer 96 on the defense unnecessary late hits it's clyde simmons here's why he comes out of the game a battered man well clyde simmons is coming from the left of the screen you see him watch the ball is gone o'brien has thrown the ball and then simmons hits him in the back and takes him down after he throws it moves the jets down to the eagle 23 elijah and hector throws it out of the end zone jojo tanzel i think was the intended receiver this has been one half when you see what has happened to ken o'brien he's been sacked once he's been hurried ten times where he's had to throw the ball before he wanted to he's been knocked down after he threw it four times he's had two fumbles and the good news is he hasn't had any interceptions but that's just one half i wonder if he's had fun he didn't get in any of those slides yet that's the only fun thing that's winning on second down ryan the tune and two of his hit at the 13. [Applause] terry holm was the first man there but a gain of eleven seconds remaining o'brien walks to the sideline jets take a timeout and send the field goal unit on the field tell you that was a heck of a drive there that the jets just did after the eagles scored pat leahy has made 35 consecutive field goals inside the 40-yard line he's only missed three times all year and all of them were over 40 yards it's a nice little security blanket in it you'll go from 29 yards here [Music] and he's good again it's 24-20 the eagles lead the jets now with two seconds left to play in the first half a rainy rainy afternoon in the meadowlands andre waters limping andre waters is one of the the pluses of that eagle secondary when buddy ryan talks about his secondary he's really disappointed with his corners and he thinks his safeties have done pretty well in fact if if anyone had like a load of defensive backs corners they could just bring them and dump them here today and give each team about half of them a lot of places they could dump them i think around the league if you had a load of cornerbacks i know you just don't seem to have corners anymore you see in the bottom of the screen you can see water's there he's coming he's trying to dive in for the ball i think he just tripped over mcelroy's foot mcelroy is still coming back after the trip trying to run it out don't forget at the half again the nfl today with brent irv and harry carson the giant linebacker in the studio the jet scoring drive five plays 34 yards 35 seconds and as john madden set a very impressive drive leahey finish it off with a 29 yard field goal he's about ready to kick off now [Applause] carter and morse back deep for the eagles have to go along and that should finish off the first half 24-yard return that's the end of the first half with the score the eagles 24. and against 20. [Music] lead by four points 24-20 we begin the second half carter morse back deep through philadelphia morse at [Music] the book on randall cunningham yeah i was talking to bill parcells here the giants at halftime and he said this is the best he's seen randall cunningham look now most of his play has come from in the pocket because when he's gone out of the pocket he's been flushed and gone left two times to the right six times now look on the left when he's gone right he's rushed for 29 yards pass for 18. when he's gone left he's come up with nothing so where is all his work come from it's really come from while he's been in the pocket he pitches back this time to fire fires is hit by alex gordon and troy vincent there's a gain of one i was just saying here it is here we talk about he runs a lot and he's flushed right and left for he's done the damage in his first half is when he stayed in the pocket 11 for 12 152 yards and two touchdowns opening seconds of quarter number three second at nine it is the eagles have the ball at their own 26-yard line cunningham gives the game to buyers fire shift and knock backwards after another one-yard gain again by troy benson troy benson is the is a brother of brad benson of the giants you know i bet you when when his parents had those kids brad and troy and stuff they probably didn't think they'd be football players when you name them brad and troy you'd think a linebacker if you knew if you weren't having a kid and you knew he was going to be a linebacker why not name him something like whap wep benson yeah but you know something like that give him a linebacker name but brad and troy i bet they didn't think they'd be pro football players there's cunningham back to throw gets it up the middle of craig who makes a one-handed grab and breaks away from jeff tyler quick gets inside the jet finally stopped by carl howard hey mike quick did a couple of pretty good things there one is the catch then watch the move that he makes on rich miano number 36 after he catches it watch it comes in here one-handed catch now watch this spinner he does right here we gotta go whoop and he comes up with an air ball [Applause] he did a heck of a job getting off the line of scrimmage two to get away from howard those were three good things getting off the line of scrimmage the catch and the spinner move on miano five two touchdowns this time quick away by howard at the last second again for an nfl update let's send you back to the new york studio and brent musberger pat the bengals again inventing away wilson throws for a touchdown then the saints recover a fumble and hillyard bangs in and now the saints and the bengals are deadlocked meanwhile seattle's bosworth recovers a fumble goes 30 plus yards to set up the go ahead touchdown 14-7 hawks over chicago back to pattanja 24 20 the jets trail eagles the giants stadium second out of 10 the ball at the 43. cunningham back to throw after the fake to tony again looking for quick pass interference and no question about that one harry hamilton came over as quick again had about a five yard stretch on the jet secondary they they're sure having a problem out here and again it's that doubles all you see howard look into the backfield and come running up with a play pass nine defense automatic first one and you see harry hamilton he's the deep guy he comes over looks for the ball and just runs right into quick but that time i don't i don't know what howard was doing because he not only didn't bump him but he's looking in the backfield watch him he comes here as quick goes by him he runs by here then of course there's when you get the penalty watch him here he's looking at the play fake he lets quick run right by him both of them took a bite they deserve the penalty there that ball gets there a little bit quicker lag on the play the pass intended for tony who put up one hand mcarthur the nearest defender [Music] [Applause] bob crable he's at the bottom left of the picture right here see him right there at the bottom and it's that that hit to the face again you see on that thing here they're calling that more and more you know where they start on the shoulder pads is okay then if that hand goes up to the head or face mask they're calling that now so it's first and goal from the three for the eagle [Applause] marty lyons the jet defender after a gain of one hey there's a tough guy anthony tony he's he goes from from full back to half back to full back and he's only six foot but he's 227 pounds he's a powerful guy the jets make wholesale defensive changes the eagles line up fires and tony and addicts all in the same backfield fires that flag on the playground something came flying out of the stand they say touchdown buyers and a toy football came flying up just as the game began that's what i thought was the penalty marker and there was one jet player down there vehemently denying that that was the touchdown he was yelling no no no but you can see that the ball does break the plane of the goal line two yards for keith byers a touchdown as mcfadden will attempt the extra point to increase the eagle lead to 11. they'll shake the holder and the kick is good [Applause] 11 45 left to play in the third quarter eagles 31 the jets 20. 31-20 the eagles lead the jets they went six they went 75 yards in six plays they kept it three minutes and 15 seconds and buyers scored the touchdown over the top with a two-yard run 11 45 left third quarter humphrey and townsell back deep for the jets bobby humphrey loses it at the 10. hammered at that point by ty allard again [Applause] christmas day begins at 12 noon here on cbs at least eastern time with the nba pistons and the knicks at madison square garden and the big eights player of the year thurman thomas will lead oklahoma state against the mountaineers of west virginia and the john hancock sun bowl promises to be a great and a merry christmas right here on cbs hope it is for everybody o'brien hit as he tried to hand it off the ball is loose and it looks like the eagles might have it [Music] o'brien never made contact with the runner terry hogue came up with the fumble recovery that's the third or fourth time that that they've had trouble just getting the ball back and getting it handed off now it looked like just as he was handing the ball off he was hit by jerome brown that's the thing here you talk about penetration you can't allow penetration when someone gets into your backfield they can really foul up things before they ever have a chance to get started 31-20 the eagles already lead 11 31 left to play third quarter that's tony in motion straight ahead to fire he did at the line of scrimmage he might have gotten two joe klecko was the first man to hit him but they if you look at the eagles last three possessions they've scored and it didn't take much time it'll bring up a second and nine situation now at the jet 19. mike quick now splits out wide to the left and look out almost intercepted by carl howard buyers was out there in front of quick quick thought he was getting the ball i think that cunningham threw it too far for buyers and too short for quick watch quick here he's running and out he thinks he's going to get the ball and cunningham throws a tweener so he doesn't get it out there far enough and that was just over byers head third and nine this time quick is in the slot to the left chris carter he's on the other side the jets jump offside again and cunningham comes out on a free play that's knocked away at the last second by bobby humphrey intended for garrity but i think the jets are offsides again they say they have to to lead the league and offsides and if it weren't for a strike they'd probably center records for offsides they walk it off against the jets number 73 defense five-yard finally repeat third down you know at some point you think joe klecko who's a smart guy and over the years has been a great player you'd think he'd like have a meeting with himself and maybe wear earplugs or something and just just sit there and get cocked in there towards the ball and just watch the the ball have been penalized eight times for 80 yards third down and five the ball at the 14. for carter and a diving catcher touchdown by chris carter well buddy ryan said i think we could throw it and i think we can score some points and i think that chris carter is going to play more and more he said he missed training camp you know he came in to camp late then there was a strike and he said but now he's ready to play and it looks like cunningham could just throw anything he wants to in the end zone over in the left and you'll get a touchdown [Applause] mcfadden for the extra point and calcium makes it 38-20 the eagles over the jets with 10 and a half minutes left to play in the third quarter the eagles have struck quickly and effectively the giant man philadelphia 38 the jets 20. bobby humphrey and jojo townsell back deep and chelsea will kick off for the eagle where the jets will take over and look at the bind that the eagles complete and they come out here with four wide receivers now when you don't have corners that's a tough thing to do they spread you out you don't have enough to cover two they make you cover four so down here in the bottom that puts chris carter man-to-man on sean dykes number 22 who was a replacement player hey that was a great catch by carter in addition to all that four wide receivers great athletic ability johnny hector is behind o'brien [Applause] philadelphia in the last two games haven't been able to take advantage of the last six turnovers by their opponents but today they have corrected that situation [Applause] one of the things is they were having those they got those turnovers against miami and they were playing against dan marino who after a turnover he just goes back and just starts airing it out so it doesn't mean as much here's o'brien outside tuned by ronnie young knocked out of bounds with 9 40 left to play in the third quarter a gain of 10 and a first down john l williams has just scored for seattle and they've taken the lead again over the bears the saints tied cincinnati they're still in the third quarter [Applause] england buffalo in the fourth you know the saints win today the 49ers really aren't a cinch to win that division right they have two tough games i mean they're playing atlanta but then they have to play the ram after pressure is o'brien who gets the ball to roger vick who juggles it and it's an incomplete pass [Applause] reggie white simmons were close to o'brien when he dumped it off he just that's even more than a dump off i mean that was like a slam dump off o'brien's back here now he starts to feel the pressure from the backside and the front side so all he's doing is he wants to get rid of that ball before the impending doom but you get the doom anyway at least he didn't get a sack or an interception a handoff is the thick left side fumble a gain of four and the jets got it back dan alexander came up with the ball you know i think that's one of the problems that jets have had is is some of their players that have been good players for them a long time are getting older like their defensive lineman and some of the young players that they've drafted really haven't come through so you get in that bind where your old players aren't as good as they used to be and you're not getting young help and this is kind of the end result of it well joe walton says there's going to be an evaluation after it's over let's tune in motion o'brien back to throw it outside hey johnny hector he has stopped short of a first down by andre waters and they'll have to pick up a four [Applause] well that's the play that no matter what your record is what you're doing has never made sense to me when you have a third down and you complete a pass and you don't get a first down uh that's that's not good football dave jennings back to puck [Applause] bobby morse back deep for the eagles they lead 38-20 [Applause] 31 yard punt no return good coverage by the jets particularly by billy griggs and 38-20 with 803 left third quarter what he has to do he starts in there and the first thing you do is you block block block lock balls kick release release release release then you run run run run and then tackle tackle tackle tackle that might be your best that's anthony tony for a gain of one stop by barry bennett philadelphia averaging 5.1 yards on first down the jets 1.5 on first down the eagles lead 38-20 and that helps to explain it the vikings rolling toward the playoffs [Music] second and nine [Music] cunningham semi roll out right deep for quick got it again [Applause] gary holmes on the coverage but quick with another outstanding catch and a gain of 40 yards i don't think you can blame the coverage on that one because cunningham had just too much time [Applause] watch quick he starts out there holmes hits him within that first five yards now look how long he has to cover he has to cover him on that side of the field in the middle of the field then all the way over here i'll tell you cunningham got some of this from his line he had good protection here then he's able to roll out by a little time pump pump and then throw now that's too much a quarterback shouldn't be able to bump pump and throw he says he fires straight ahead for just a yard quick has now six receptions for 148 yards and two touchdowns hey i've always liked mike quick because you know these are the obvious things you see is his receptions and his 100 yard gains and his touchdowns i'll tell you another thing about this guy he is probably of all the wide receivers in the lake he's probably the best blocker that's always my kind of guy the guy will catch up good all those fancy things good but then do the tough things too this guy will do them you don't find that very often jackson and quick both split wide to the right this time the one thing as we said about that about that one that quick caught you have to give the offensive line and cunningham uh you know credit and quick credit but the big thing is that is that the the jet defense just doesn't get any pass rush and that's been the problem that they've had all this end of the season you let a guy stand back there that long they'll all cut you up i'll tell you i was talking to bill parcells at halftime he told me it's the best he's ever seen randall cunningham i'm thinking the same thing i've never seen randall cunningham look this good he gets away again from the pressure goes deep for jackson and complete and no penalty flags this time carl howard back there with him you know randall cunningham has a new thing that he wears around his waist now he's been having trouble with it you see it looks like it's a thing that just hooks on there and you can put your hands in there while you're calling plays what if there's some heaters or stuff in there looks like it yeah see it's just strapped around his waist and goes down there in the front and then you put a towel over that it's a nice little package might have some loose change in there even from 39 yards away with telstra holding mcdaniel tried to put the eagles in the 40s if it gets there not good so the score remains philadelphia 38 and the jets 20. before noon but as far as christmas day is concerned on cbs sports it begins at noon with the pistons against the knicks at madison square garden and then the big h player of the year thurman thomas will lead oklahoma state against west virginia mickey schuler made the catch on the pass from o'brien stopped by andre waters after a gain of five [Applause] one thing you know we haven't haven't seen the ball going to the tight ends much or or even the backs because i think both teams have a weakness at corner and the place to work and if you're going to go is go up field and get it to your outside receivers well of course philadelphia has had a very porous pass defense all year long in the nfl here's o'brien chased by reggie white out of the pocket gets rid of it and schuler is knocked out of bounds at the jet 45 by royale young i'll tell you one thing this jet offensive line has really done a pretty good job on reggie white because he came in here needing five five sacks to get the record he has one but uh i think they've done a pretty good job on him you see here reggie mcelroy is blocking him as a right tackle and i think that overall he's done a nice job against reggie white schuler got the jet first down they're at their own 46. there we go again this time it's jerome brown with a sack o'brien had no chance jerome brown is the guy that's been causing a havoc today for the for the jets the guy that's been getting in the backfield you see him he's going to be right here he just gets the penetration on that and you see he's the first thing that o'brien sees watch him here he just comes to the outside then he comes right back in o'brien saw him and brought the ball down he looked up and he saw jerome brownberry going better put this ball back where it started second at 17. mcilroy i believe moved in white jumped around him let's see who's against byron evans ended up with a ball and he handed it off to cobb both stars number 68 and 34 on the offense five yard penalty two fall starters rose mcilroy you know he's the guy who's blocking reggie white [Music] the most penalized teams well you're looking at one of them the jets 22 [Music] incomplete o'brien again took a hit from simmons and white i think let's watch out how strong reggie white is he's going to start here he goes right by the center and guard right through here into o'brien now watching when he gets over the center he can just power right through power right through a center right through a back and he hits o'brien just as he throws the ball i think reggie white is probably more effective there as a pass rusher than has an end third and 22 he's in the middle again do a little stunt and against pick it up into point pass intended for sewn behind him and the jets will have to punt again [Applause] a lot of empty seats at giant stadium today on a very dreary wet day but those who are here are letting their unhappy feelings be known here's dave jennings back-to-back no rush this time and jennings gets off a good kick [Music] bobby horse back at his own 25 takes away from one first and again griggs is down in a hurry 41-37 41-yard play they net 37. four-yard return detroit just scored seattle has gone further in front of chicago 27-14 houston leading pittsburgh still a tie between the saints and the bengals new england clings to that lead over buffalo jet player hurt while we have a moment for an nfl update well we're not going to update that's guy bingham see if we can figure out what happened well it's just right there at the end of the play you see bingham is is getting set to make the tackle and he makes the tackle and unless something happened before that looks like he just had to twist his leg in the carpet looks like his right arm doesn't it from the way he's holding it and now that is what it is and now let's go ahead with that update again and here again brett musberger in our studio in new york the lions who gave the score here's how they got back into it it's a great run by james right up the gut there's plenty of time left in this one there's 11 minutes but time is running out on buffalo right now they trail new england they're inside at two minutes if it goes down this way then indianapolis controls the afc east and they can win it with two victories back to pat and john 38 20 the eagles over the jets here at giant stadium bingham being helped off it was his right arm a problem with his right arm randall cunningham 17 out of 27. this guy bingham for 260 yards three touchdowns two of them quick and a very successful day there's the comparison between o'brien and cunningham both with 17 completions cunningham with three touchdowns two to quick one to carter it's been a long afternoon for o'brien jackson goes in motion cunningham gives the ball back to fire fire to the 35 stopped by harry hamill picked up six a very long first half with all the points and all the throwing see what happened to joe klecko well there he is you see the thing that i didn't go to do is look down look down at the ball he's looking in there at that guy he's looking for some movement but they that's nose tackle concentration though then look what happened boom here comes the center here comes the guard boom here comes the ball carrier second down and four the ball belongs to the eagles at their own 35 as they play by 18 points this is tony around the corner he'll have a first down he is hammered hard by kevin macarthur but he picked up seven yards you know it's an interesting thing that barry bennett number 78 is back in there at defense he's been a regular starter when the jets decided to start gastineau this week they moved lions over to bennett's spot and bennett said hey i can see you starting gas to know if you want to but i don't think lions is playing better than me you better look at the other guy well bennett's back now lions is back in his spot and gaston is out they don't need a pass rush now less than two minutes left third quarter giles [Music] [Applause] [Music] talking to buddy ryan yesterday about keith fires who they had such high hopes for and but he said what he really needs is a training camp that's the thing remember he came out of out of college and he had that that bad foot when he was drafted so he missed training camp the first year then he broke his other foot and he missed training camp this year so this is his second year in the league but he hasn't had a training camp but he said that's what he really needs he's carried it nine times today picked up only 15 yards more than 15 now about 60. you got one barry bennett on the stop word on guy bingham is that he has a tense nerve and it's questionable whether it be back or not let's watch bennett here you know what he's doing now sometimes he'll play like half linebacker half defensive line they put him down and then he gets up to go back in coverage that's what he was trying to do on that play third and chance i think him is going to throw the jets are going to blitz [Applause] third time he's been sacked and it was castano [Applause] i think when you're down 38 to 20 i don't think it deserves that much celebration they need something what they do is on this play we'll see gaster know he's going to come from here what the jets do is they get four down linemen by putting alex gordon as a down lineman on the other side i'll tell you gaston worked for that one though he was down and bounced back up and got it chalchick back to punt for philadelphia and jojo tanzel is back deep but that's the end of the third quarter with the score of the eagles 38 jets 20. we now pause for a word from your local station kick is a good one this time jojo townsell retreats to his own 18-yard line finally the kicker and john klingel bring him down 50-yard punt return of 25. [Applause] this is one of the things that the the jets are excited about or that they've done well this year and that's their their kick returns and of course jojo townsel is the type of guy who's one of the best at doing this thing is when you get behind and you don't have the other parts to go with it that doesn't seem like such a big deal [Applause] first down jets at their own 43 they trail the eagles 38 to 20. chased by reggie white gets rid of it almost picked off by byron evans second time today he's had a chance to come up with an interception well that tackified leather is just not tacking for him today but he is getting the feeling of the passing game usually when you bring a a rookie middle linebacker in he usually plays the run well and isn't very good against the past but they byron evans has been around those receptions a couple times today he got there so soon he didn't know what to do o'brien back to throw again gets it out to hector hector gets the midfield stopped by byron evans after a pickup of eight again for another nfl update let's take you back to our new york studio and brett musberger all right pat time running out on jim kelly and the buffalo bills 58 ticks and on fourth down they pour in on jim kelly it's the fifth sack by the patriots they upset the bills 13-7 indianapolis now in the driver's seat back to past summer all 38 20 and the jets playoff hopes disappearing rapidly the rain and missed the giant stadium o'brien outside the schuler that should be enough to move the sticks gary cobb knocked him out of bounds stops the clock with 13 56 left to play in the fourth quarter gain of five i think if i were the jets now i would know that i i need one and if i'm going to be in this game or have a chance i got to get a quick one here and i think i'd i'd be looking for al too i think somehow you have to have part of your owl offense that you can get to two here's o'brien he starts rocky clifford in motion this time a fake detector they also look in the direction of zone but it's overthrown everybody o'brien again under pressure [Applause] you know it's easy to blame sometimes in a quarterback or in a passing game it's not one guy i mean it's not it's not the coach it designs it it's not always a quarterback sometimes it's a protection it doesn't give a guy time sometimes it's the receivers that don't get open sometimes it is a quarterback and sometimes it's a design a lot of things involved as you say are to pin down one single individual if things don't work off johnny hector hector over the right side gets only three yards reggie white on the stop [Applause] jerome brown slow getting up for the eagles eagles are sending a bunch of guys out to help him get up the fans are starting to chant joe must go somewhat angry about the situation 46 319 no-shows this afternoon 30 572 showed up hey it's been a a tough year for for joe walton it you know it seems like since the strike they've never gotten back to it because remember the game the last game before the strike played on monday night and they looked like one of the best teams in football then they came back after the strike and they just struggled but then they they always seem to struggle in december remember last year there was no strike and they lost their last five in a row and i think when you come into this season you start to lose again i think the thing just starts the walls just start to fall down on you today's attendance which i just mentioned a minute ago you know john both of these teams ironically forget the strike games forget the game they missed both of them with their regular players are five and five and they looked a lot better than that i don't think they're going to punt yeah i guess it looked like joe walt said i'd just go for it but he must have said just punt [Applause] whatever it is i'm sure you're saying in front of it 13 22 left to play morse goes back number 36 for philadelphia and dave jennings back to punta [Music] well you remember early in the game they ran a fake punt this time no fake jennings gets off a good high kick sailing into the end zone they'll bring it back to the 20. 42-yard punt by dave jennings 13-15 left to play the eagles leading by 18 points ability that the jets can get back into this game i don't think there's a possibility that they can get back into the season i think this is a team that is really very close to rock bottom and is a very frustrated team 15 left to play cunningham brings his eagles out at their own 20. they lead 38 to 20. [Music] and off to tony left side and there was nothing he might have struggled for a yard before he stopped by bob crable but not much doing i'll tell you when they if we look at the the past distribution you look at they've thrown 17 times to the wide receivers now that's really pro football that's the way it should be running backs five uh tight ends one for two you can see part of that is the eagles thrown to their outside receivers the other part is that's the jet's weakness that corner position there's cunningham troy benson brought him down another nfl update and let's again send you back to brent busberger all right pat they were down 24-3 and now the saints have taken a lead on the bengals in cincinnati morton anderson hammers in the field goal 27-24 seven minutes to go meanwhile eight minutes in chicago peyton has scored twice 27-21 seahawks lead it back to pat and john we have just over 12 minutes remaining in this contest the eagles in control of this one 38-20 third and four letting him out of the spread one of those times he might take off he gets it up the middle of tony who's wide open and tony gets an eagle first down outside the 40 to about the 42 and a gain of 16 rich piano and bob crabble made the stop i've always thought that's the way to go you know we showed how many times cunningham has gone to his outside receivers now they start concentrating outside and then just watch tony he's just gonna block and then fake and then check through right right in the middle now everyone's worked outside everyone's worried about quit they're all going that way and they just leave that entire middle open wick is out wide to the left this time jackson picked up six yards barry bennett on the stop houston warren moon has just thrown a 30-yard touchdown pass to drew hill and they're leading pittsburgh by a comfortable margin now second down and three eagles have the ball at their own 47-yard line buyers gets the call again as hit in the backfield by crable they tripped up at that point no gain [Applause] there was something when we were talking to both coaches yesterday and talking about about the draft they both said the thing that they need they both said the number one thing that they're looking for in the draft is defensive backs buddy ryan also mentioned a kicker he did say he'd probably draft a kicker and he said there's some of them out there interesting too johnny said we're looking for defensive backs particularly cornerbacks because they can come in and play right now cunningham rolls left black on the because the other thing he said buddy ryan was saying we're looking for defensive backs then linebackers and then a kicker i think he feels that that his offense with randall cunningham with the backs that he has he thinks his offense is solid enough but he believes that you know that buddy ryan's been around offense finally declined fourth down he believes in this league you win with defense of course he's had that success you know he was a jet assistant coach that went to the super bowl minnesota viking assistant coach who went to the super bowl and also the chicago bears so he's been here three times as a defensive coach why does he say john that a cornerback can come in and play immediately where he can't do it in another position because recovering is just instinct that if you have that instinct you can do it right away that's hell of v8 with some room gotta be celtic and that's all and he can't do it the kicker telstic [Applause] who is a marvelous athlete to begin with hung in there and made a stop okay i never agree that kickers are marvelous athletes but this play that telcig makes here i'm going to agree with you in fact i didn't even know if i was going to have a punter on this guy may be all bad well he might be he's got good hands [Music] we're a giant stadium jets have the ball of bryan the quarterback and o'brien snowed under by the eagle rush led by reggie white the third time he's been sacked all day tail chick the putter well look he looks so clean here i mean the guy looks like a punter 6-2 250 blonde haired blue eye but watch this play here i mean you get arrested for that in the streets he was an all-state wide receiver in high school at texas before he went to the university and the amazing thing here's a kicker and he already has two tackles and two assists today right he'll be up in there with the stats with the linebacker that's an nfl record for a punter [Applause] he's breathing a little that air out of there i think he hyperventilated on that tackle i can't make too many of those in his lifetime four in one day you kidding pull his arm out of the socket the move band here's o'brien back in the pocket again and out of the pocket this time he's going to go all he can do and complete it with schuler the ball i think slipped out of o'brien's hand didn't look like it had much on it that's on that end and then on the other end it looked like it slipped out of schuler's hand who was going over there and say what me on a deep fast pattern that never happens jets and in the punting unit again dave jennings bobby morris back deep for the eagles [Music] reggie white jumped and started a point as soon as he jumped well he pointed at number 10 at 1992 ken rose [Applause] [Music] and rose is the guy that came to the jets during the strike as a replacement player he's been an assistant coach as strength coach at ucla he's right is one of the strongest guys on the team and all those athletic tests they have one of the best testing guys so after the strike they just kept him around what do they say is the penalty will be encroachment defense a delayed reaction ball is on the defense five yards still fourth down delayed reaction different types of encroachments now you got your basic encroachment then you got your delayed encroachment both of them only five yards i said rose vertical jump was what 45 inches yeah like four feet eight signals fair catch 34 yards and the eagles will take over with 8 32 remaining you know in that last drive here's reggie white here and he did get the sack of ken o'brien so that that gives him 19. that's his second sack today see him working over bingham starts to his left it right side sacks o'brien so he has two sacks today 19 for the year of course the record is 22. 38-20 the eagles lead this is tony left side pickup of two stop by cleco 81. philadelphia has the ball their own 19-yard line it will be second at eight this consulate joe walton you know you get to a point that you don't know what you have to do he took this week and said let's just have fun because they had the two big games against miami new england they lost both of those but if we can't get up for those what can we get up for let's just loosen up and have fun and that's not working either this is byers he tried to roll off a tackle and was hit from the backside by bob cradle no gain on the play but the clock continues to run with seven and a half minutes left to play looking at that wild card scramble minnesota has improved their records down to eight and six saint louis six and seven vikings beat detroit by field goal 17-14 [Music] third down and eight and cunningham operates out of the spread formation comes out of the pocket and takes off with it and dodges a couple of guys and gets a philadelphia first down a nifty move you know there's some things that randall cunningham does on a football field that he looks more like an nba basketball player have you noticed that and this is one of them when he starts moving like that and now he not only has his feet to move but he also has that ball to be a fake watch him he'll put it up he'll pump the thing he'll move back and forth he looks like one of those guys going down there to slam dunk or something except they say he can't shoot he's a good basketball player but got no touch i know but you never admit that you just say you do who's going to watch anyway you're a pro football player yeah i'm great i got good shots then you never first of ten fires gets the handoff and fires still on his feet and still towing his buyers fumbles the ball and bounces right back up to him everything happened correctly took heed fires carl howard made the stop he picked up 30 yards you know buyers is one of those guys that's a powerful guy i mean he's had that foot problem but you don't realize that he's as big as he is i mean he's a 230 pound guy and you can see he has that balance he has a ball out there the ball just drops out of his hand and bounce right back but he's a guy when he gets healthy and has the training camps i think he has a chance to be a real good back in this lake tampa bay leading st louis now seven to nothing if the buccaneers beat st louis that eliminates the cardinals from the playoff picture minnesota's already fires again wrapped up by alex gordon a loss of two [Music] i think there's a guy who's playing one of his best games this year at least since the strike and that's alex gordon he's kind of one of those guys is a half linebacker and half defensive lineman he plays linebacker on some downs they're not passing down he gets down as a down lineman but but he's been active today he's been in a lot of plays [Applause] 6'5 245 is gordon and he is another one of those who has an outstanding future you should never want to predict greatness because you never know about injuries and you never know this early there's a draw to fire myers is taken down for no gain by marty lyon draw play is one of those plays that really doesn't work well at the end of a game like this a draw play works well when everyone's fresh and you're going boom boom boom and you just run right by him now you get the defenses kind of beating down they're tired they're not going anywhere anyway and you just run a draw right into them third down they need 12 for a first and cunningham goes back in the shotgun formation again guaranty split wide to the left quick and carter to the right hand with time intended for carter incomplete bounced away from him you know one thing we haven't had here today and usually get in the second half of a game here at giant stadium is a squirrel squirrel running out on the field squirrel didn't like the rain probably yeah or maybe the squirrel's a giant fan [Applause] i wonder if felchick is gonna make another tackle here he's back at midfield to punt it counsel back deep for the jets high kick down sales on the let it bounce he goes down to cover it hits one up to the shoulder at about the nine yard line and that's where the jets will take over 26-yard punt but it's effective minnesota beat detroit st louis at the moment is losing new england beat buffalo that's the final as well they're in the fourth quarter in chicago with seattle leading the bears houston over pittsburgh 24-16 to keep their hopes alive and new orleans has come back and leads cincinnati now by 10. o'brien has the ball batted away don't you know john new orleans just scored again a second touchdown for beaufort jordan don't you know for that wild card game if new orleans is the host or for any game that's going to be a wild scene that will be and then you know it could be right there after new year's down here in new orleans they'll have a lot to celebrate they're going to have new year's eve and a sugar bowl and a if they are the wild card although i don't think that's automatic no i don't either you know the the 49ers still have to beat the rams and the way new orleans is playing i just wouldn't give that division to the 49ers right now altoona who just made that reception is caught eight today [Music] for a total of 101 yards and some of the few fans who remain have a banner and tribute johnny hector gets a jet first down before he stopped finally by terry holt pickup of 16. [Applause] royale young a little slow rising this game is presented by authority the national football league is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the new york jets and the national football league is prohibited reggie white is the eagle who's still down [Applause] see what happened that's what it looks like down there you see he's coming in he sees the run he goes to close down the run oh and then yeah right there at the end of the play someone rolled up on his left leg [Applause] [Music] this by the way is al toons third game in a row of over 100 yards receiving with reggie white and the day he's had two sacks giving him a total of 19 four tackles and five hurries you know to get those things he lines up all over the field too you know he'll line up his over the tight end he lines up over the tackle he lines up over the center so the first thing you have to do is you have to find out where he is then you have to get a block and that perhaps is a little bit easy to say let's look where he's lined up today but he was 18 times over a tight end 15 times over the right tackle and 28 times over the center i think on pass rush he's the most effective over the center well he's so big he can dominate most of the centers and so quick to go with him here's o'brien hit by hogue and hit hard but tune held on [Music] you know buddy ryan calls his his defenses you know he has names for everything hogue is from georgia and when he blitzes the key word for that is peaches o'brien dumps it off to schuler flag on the play gain of four let's stop the clock with this penalty seth joyner made the stop [Applause] gonna be against the jets 38-20 number 87 offense five yard penalty repeat first time halftime it was close 24 20. the eagles led and got two quick touchdowns and sort of tucked things away [Applause] i see reggie white is back up on the sideline and he's in a position here where he looks like he's ready to go in again so his knee is okay fortune and it's going to be a touchdown on a blitz o'brien was hit just as he let it go by byron evans on a blitz but it's a 51-yard touchdown pass william frizzell i don't think even thought the ball was going to come out in that direction [Applause] well that's the thing that you can't do no matter what the score when you're a corner and you're playing against altoon you better not get turned around like that friselle looked like he not only got turned around he didn't see the ball but he looked like he quit on the play watch what happened to o'brien here comes the blitz from evans and he didn't even see it o'brien just threw it up there knew where tune was and he had no idea that that was a touchdown leahy for the extra point with ryan holding 38-27 with two minutes and 23 seconds left to play al tune has caught 10 passes for 160 yards he just caught that touchdown pass and that ties his career high 38-27 the eagles by 11. i'm not sure what friselle was thinking of out there because he looked like he had coverage he sees him here's frizzell here he comes in here he gets even he looks then he runs back and just stops back there because watch him tune comes off there's william frazelle he's playing here he's looking he gets turned around now right there he just lets up and he tries to put it on again that had to be a mental lapse like he put it in neutral for a second or two and then try to shift back in gear again and the jets are one football less as you saw altoon take that ball off the field and tell someone here put this one away for me 2 23 left to play pat summerall john madden at giant stadium 38-27 on-site kick has to be certainly in everybody's mind at this point amazing the packers made it work twice in a row yesterday against the giants well you can see that the eagles are expecting it because they have nine men up [Applause] the only thing you don't know you know they're going to onsides kick but you don't know exactly where but it looks like leahy's lined up to kick it to their right there's the shift straight ahead that's michael haddocks ball bounced right up to him and he made the recovery for the eagles and they'll take over there with two minutes and 20 seconds now remaining both teams with all of their timeouts left a look at the afc central situation cleveland 8-5 houston beat pittsburgh so they're eight and six tied with the steelers but with a better record within the division in cleveland pretty much in the driver's seat although they're losing to the raiders right now three nothing matt kavanaugh is now the philadelphia quarterback addicts is one of the runners behind him that's junior total autonomy stays on his feet and gets out of bounds after a good gain of about eight it was funny but matt cavanaugh handed the ball off and was watching toddler tossy and he was talking about it going out of bounds he was there he was going no no so get out of bounds didn't work no because they wanted to get it down to the two-minute warning see that's what a backup quarterback is used for kavanaugh is in there now running out the clock guys walk by you see him wipe their hands off on his jersey they always do that that backup quarterback's always clean usually he's got a loud voice here's carlatosi straight ahead for the first down troy benson made the stop that should get him down now the jets take a timeout [Applause] first down at begging pardon they didn't take a timeout they'll get down to the two minute warning and that'll stop it 38-27 the eagles over the jets i'm leaving after the game on the bus i think i go through willow creek it's great here in california i got through a lot of willow creeks somebody might get you to wallpaper straight ahead over the right side the gain of three kevin macarthur made the stop situation in the west as the jets take a timeout the 49ers 11-2 3-1 in the division new orleans already won today to beat cincinnati their record improves to approves to 11-3 they beat cincinnati 41-24 atlanta and san francisco just underway no score in that and as john madden said earlier it's no shoe in for the 49ers to be the division champions but the saints playing the way they are right it'd be because of fake pie if the 49ers lose one game either today or next week and the saints win next week they win the division because with the tiebreakers new orleans has it over the 49ers they have a better record within the division and then the 49ers of course they don't have joe montana so you got about a half a deck there [Music] second down and six of all at the 30. the eagles leading 38-47 chris carter going strong let's hossi again gets the handoff there's a flag on the play a loss of two and again they take a time out alex gordon made the initial hit on toddler cassie yeah i bet the eagles are just going to run the clock out kavanagh probably isn't going to throw the hint i get there is a kavanaugh's wearing gloves what an observation [Applause] you put your backup quarterback on and you tell him leave your gloves on and run out the clock the bus to los angeles or to san francisco to home yeah go home and then to uh and then to los angeles for next week gaming raiders at the bears bears at the raiders i'm looking forward to that i'll be home for christmas i've been like in 20 years i've been home for christmas twice [Music] i think i'm in a first place tie with that same stat [Applause] [Applause] second down [Music] line of scrimmage at the 40. the eagles leading the jets 38-27 288 and off to charlotte slides down but was not going anywhere anyway bob crable made the stop and again the jets take a timeout and stop that clock with a minute 41 left to play i guess you have to go through the motions you know the the jets put up a pretty good fight in the first half and then the eagles just took over and controlled the game in the second half and now it seems like to me that they're just prolonging the agony here [Applause] [Music] well i guess you have to as you say you don't want it to appear to anyone that you've given up all hope although it would appear that hope is gone third and 18. just gives it over the left side to haddocks the jets meet him right at the line of spinach and two yards and the jets use their last timeout again a reminder that a special edition of cbs sports sunday the wilson sports year in review was quite a year too yeah i know it uh you were part of that you did the golf and tennis right and uh i had the the pleasure of doing the football that's going to be a nice package a lot of sports in there all kinds of sports larry myers is great shot bill parcells super bowl the giants was quite a year still is a lot left and there's that boom boom culture and the jets got everybody up on the line of scrimmage quickly got it away rolling and going into the end zone it was interesting what the jets did is they needed the ball back so they just put everyone up on the line of scrimmage had no return guy back figured what the heck they didn't want to receive that or return it anyway either get the block or get the ball into 20. they are out of timeouts now with a minute 26 to go and the eagles leading 38-27 this might be the longest game of the year i'll tell you you're going to have long games when you have a number of penalties and passes you add those two things up that's what causes long gains [Music] here's o'brien the ball comes loose says it's a completed passage the way it's ruled russell gary made the hit pickup of [Music] second nine to one here's o'brien up in the pocket again he gets out of bounds played the catch evan cooper made the hit clock stop was now just one second under a minute left 20-yard gain by schuler division champions the washington redskins have already clinched the east they're 8-3 in the conference chicago now 10-4 and 9-2 in the conference seattle has beaten the bears today johnny hector gets out of bounds chased by russell gary pick up with six yeah you look at that and it's hard to say what team is the best team in the nfc i i know at one time everyone i thought it was the bears and they've been having their problems lately and then a lot of people think the 49ers but i think right now i would and if i had to right now i would think the best team of the new orleans saints second down and four the jets at the eagle 45. here's o'brien sanded schuler again incomplete seth joyner on the coverage clock stop now with 48 seconds remaining yeah reggie white we talked about the sacks the record being 22 and he had 17 coming in today's game he got two today so he has 19. he's still in there trying to get a sack he'd like to this is defensive garbage time in the nfl he's he's he's trying to pick up one after an injury in garbage time o'brien now has 25 completions and 47 attempts 48 coming up for schumer incomplete it was there block stop now with 43 seconds left to play [Applause] eagles 38-27 over the jets [Applause] gloomy afternoon especially on that side of the field [Applause] looks like zeke brackowski was having a tough time getting a play there what do you want us to do more than four o'brien chased out of the pocket by simmons finally gets rid of it throws it away [Applause] that'll take care of this afternoon's activity the jets out of timeouts the eagles offensive unit lit this time by matt kavanaugh heads on yeah i think the jets are out of season they they came in today and and i don't think anyone felt that they had a chance for the playoffs i don't think the coaching staff to players it was just something get get some consistency back get some pride back get something back and in the first half they had that enthusiasm those types of things they were looking for and then they just lost everything in the second half well the eagles struck quickly for those two touchdowns right after the half the enthusiasm went away [Applause] kavanaugh just kneels [Applause] buddy ryan thinks he has the eagles on the right track buddy ryan thinking that uh with a couple of drafts he can have his team in the playoffs and perhaps even down in the finals don't forget coming up next the post game show with brent and highlights of the day and all the [Applause] situations leading up to the playoffs that's coming up next so for john madden this is pat sumrall saying so long from giant stadium for the final score was the eagles 38 the jets 27. you've been watching cbs sports coverage
