defense up front ed Jones and Jim Jeffcoat are the ends Brooks and Noonan on the tackles for the Dallas defense mine backers Burton Lockhart and Gary Cobb and in the secondary for Dallas Emerson walls Robert Williams Michael downs and bill Bates makin Viner in the backfield minor in motion from the 28 first down for Cleveland fumbles the football it scooped up by the Cowboys and ever should Wallace has it for Dallas at the 25-yard line but turnover on the first play of the game Ron Burton jarred it loose well Burt laverna gets his own here Jim and he's gonna get the first look downfield he's got an outlet you see binder to the right-hand side of your screen he goes to him and it's just a situation where he gets his hat on the ball and knocks it loose it's a very thing that you can't do with a two and eleven ball club you can't come out and you can't give him life earlier it's gonna be a long day for you Everson walls recovering the puddle for the Cowboys and they open up the game at the 25-yard line to the Browns after the turnover leave on now - one and two takeaway giveaway ratio Dallas in that category is tied for last in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 21 on the season they have more times they have recovered turnover Steve Flores the quarterback growing that is Fowler at the 20 inside the 15 down to the 13 table our first down Dallas Cowboys stopped by Eddie Johnson and play Matthews gained a 12 on the play Sam Clancy Bob goeth and Big Daddy Karl Hairston on the defensive front for the Cleveland Browns linebackers Grayson and Matthews on the outside Johnson and Johnson on the inside for the Browns and in the secondary a great one it is Frank Minnifield and Hanford Dixon the two corners Felix right will Hill the safeties and Herschel Walker split behind Pulu here's the pitch the Walker he picks up two yards before being stopped by play Mike Johnson [Applause] but set the Dallas offense poll or starting now after a two-game respite Kahlua came back and started on Thanksgiving Day Kevin Sweeney had stepped in for two games Hershel Walker and Todd Fowler in the backfield Fowler starting again for the injured Timmy Newsom Ray Alexander and the rookie Michael Irvin are the receivers and Thornton Chandler is the ballast tied in we'll call it second and nine from the 12 yard line [Applause] michael irvin comes out of the back field of motion fowler and walker remain here's the give to walker off right tackle and again he's stuffed after a short game Mike Johnson again on the tackle the leading tackler for the Browns is Mike Johnson and his third season out of Virginia Tech on a defensive side of the ball G and what they're going to have to do is they first thing they have to do is you have to take a look at Herschel Walker find out where he is they've got to stop him they can't let him get started early they would like to force him into a game where calor has to carry him by throwing the ball they have to get good first down plays in order to keep the Cleveland defense off-balance [Applause] Cleveland's defense once the opponent has gotten inside the 20 as far as disallowing the [Applause] poor receiver set for Dallas current motion and the Cowboys well I'll tell you what it's going to be a problem because of all the crowd noise and when the quarterback is in the shotgun he's back off the line five or six yards they're going to have a tough time to today hearing the audible situation because it's because this noisy Cleveland crowd encroachment number 34 offense [Applause] gerri semen is our referee today so that'll back Dallas to the 15-yard line third and 12 Herschel Walker playing against the Browns for the first time in his career now as far as flag football these are the teams with the most infractions this year the Cowboys ranked third in the league [Applause] the shotgun cleveland brings in will Hill was the extra defensive back on third and 12 shuffle pass is read by Clancy Clancy read that play all the way quickly dumps it off to Herschel Walker Andrew Zack will have to attempt the field goal well it's a little shuffle pass out of a spread type formation give him a look it looks like you're going to throw the ball he try to speak Herschel Walker underneath with a little shovel thing Sam plants these all over Sam Clancy the former put the former basketball player out of University of Pittsburgh Roger ruzek will attempt now [Applause] yards deep floor is the [Applause] good on his last seven [Applause] pick by ruzek is [Applause] good but there is a flag down down and Cleveland motion against against the Cowboys so take away the field-goal and ruzek will have to attempt again ruzek and his second season with the Cowboys out of Weber State College in Ogden Utah [Applause] this will certainly add length to ruzek's attempt made a 50-yarder this year that's the longest of his career former teammate of Herschel Walker with New Jersey generals this placekicker now this would be a 48-yard try for larger ruzek and picked up by Steven Bragg's [Applause] they dodged a bullet down here the Cowboys penalizing the first field goal they didn't get very good first down plays down in there and this is going to give them be a big lil for their offense shutting them down down there now listen if Bernie go to work [Applause] Clay Matthews broke through right the middle of wine got a hand on it Stephen brags at the University of Texas picks it up Cleveland in Dallas or scoreless mistake Clay Matthews made the play here for the brown play seemed circled right there the easiest place to block a field goal is right up the middle that's where Matthews gets the penetration right in the middle right in from the kicker and they block it and dodged a bullet in the game as a receiver on the left side three receivers set for the Browns of first down finer gets to carry works his way past the 30-yard line here's the report now from the Cleveland sideline Kevin Mack has been taken to the locker room for x-rays of his hand Kenny he was the one who fumbled the football on the Browns first play from scrimmage like they got a likkle bet on the hand when he did fumble that cat did the starter Fontenot is in there now Langhorne and weathers are the receivers and the great one Ozzie Newsome is still the tide and of course here for the Cleveland Browns second and eight we're cleveland oh now wide on the right side Richie Langhorne in motion with good time he has Brian Brennan near midfield sure handed Brian Brennan first down for Cleveland well here's what you got to deal with when you deal with Bernie Kosar he gets back the ball is going to hurt look how quick he gets rid of the ball once he sees his man zap the balls gone throws a strike right on the numbers if they don't get any pressure on Bernie Kosar today for the Dallas front for doesn't get any kind of pressure he's going to make it a long day Burnie picked up 17 on the completions of Brennen ball at midfield first and 10 for Cleveland finer and Fontenot in the backfield my Kosar in motion to get the finer Eugene Lockhart did some after a gain of 3 yards another thing we can look for Jim this running attack of Cleveland is built around an offensive line that is a straight-ahead tight blocking outfit they block straight ahead they don't have the great outside speed they have backs that run straight ahead and banner and Mac they don't have the great outside threat this you see right here is a style of running game we will see from them straight ahead good block on the play by number 77 Ricky Bouldin who is filling in today for Larry Williams at left guard Williams out with a shoulder injury suffered while lifting weights on Monday so Bouldin fills in his third season out of SMU second and six from the dallas 46 herman Fontenot team locker grabs him up at the 44 gain of 3 on the play the Giants on the board against the Cardinals key game in the NFC East there's a game cowboy fans will be watching very closely Green Bay and Detroit should Green Bay win today against the Lions and the Cowboys news to Dallas right now the inside track for the first pick in the draft which would be Troy eight from the quarterback of UCLA I think they might like to have a new third and three backs down is caught by Brennan he's inside the 30 [Applause] [Music] Jim Jeff Cove a of jump for Dallas offside numbered 99.95 defense called against mark Whelan defensive tackle so it's a 14-yard pickup on the pass play first and ten for Cleveland from the 31 of the way she can slow down a real good pass rush he's the quarterback can use his voice make him jump people off balance liner in the backfield alone setback [Applause] to the left whether slop left Langhorne inducible the right son [Applause] showing blitz [Applause] good time for cosa passes part of the 25 taught by Clarence weathers in his sixth season at a Delaware state he's down Clarence weathers this team Jenny mrs. Webster slaughter no doubt anytime you have a player like that has the ability to make the big play and you lose him out if you're off and somebody has to take this off in this particular situation Reggie Laurel Langhorne has been the guy that has come in and taken up the slack there Langhorne stood an outstanding job career-high 42 receptions on the season weathers is starting in replace of Webster slaughter and he made the reception here he's the man down on the field well you give Bernie Kosar that kind of time and he gets to look at the defense that long as a very smart intelligent quarterback he sees the field extremely well and you give him that count of time he's going to eventually find someone crunched by Steve gyasi and he is still down on the field 7:25 left of the first quarter no score if you thought you had to give up comfort to get a close shave norelco says think again their revolutionary shaving system shaves skin clothes in a way that's incredibly comfortable as the hair enters the chamber the patented lift & cut system lifts each hair and holds it a split-second before a blade cuts it so it's possible to shave skin close without the blades even touching the skin the lift and cut shaving system from norelco we made clothes comfortable give your car better pick up with a black & decker car back plus the most powerful car vacuum made the Black & Decker car back plus leaves everything else in the dust regardless of what some people think all spark plugs aren't alike these AC copper for flux match my car specs for up to 30,000 miles of high revving bar power AC Delco parts they don't just ladies and gentlemen it's the crater of fire Shanna steady vs. Ford Ranger in a tug of war and there they go two compact pickups with biggest available engines and automatics the bores try but look at that Chevy s-10 power it's bigger v6 is just too strong when it comes to pick up no wonder America is having a change of heart snake tickets to the chalkboard tell us what happened take a look at his left leg he's a look it's a little hook pattern though hook pattern he turns around faces the quarterback like he should get his body between the ball and the receiver watch his left leg right there so he gets folded up under him all the way to number 55 the linebacker on top of him causes the injury he was carried off the field now on the Dallas bench second and five for the Browns finer the lone setback go wide to the right line court spotlight Brian Brennan on the Westside changing direction but he'll lose yardage a loss of one Kevin Brooks brought him down to the backfield well batter smartly just takes as much as he can get he's not the tight back that can reverse field and go around the end for a long run or make something happen there straight ahead tight backs don't try out that turnaround thing just get up there get the ball down and start over again Cleveland is without Webster slaughter he is on the injured reserve list Marty Schottenheimer told us this week the slaughter most likely will be back for the final regular season game against the Houston Oilers now with weathers out we'll be seeing more of Gerald six backs in for the Cowboys Francis [Applause] here's the rest by Waylon he's picked off Kosar will tuck it in get out of bounds Everson walls forced him out mark whele the back up putting some good pressure on cosa our Kenny yeah you know the pressure that he gets on co-star Jim comes from right up the middle that's the best of pressure that is hardest to handle for a quarterback because you can't see once they get that kind of penetration you see Whalen chasing Bernie once you get him out of the pocket you basically have him where you want him because bernie is not the great athlete not the great runner sales in has an ill way Matt bar look at that 22 for 27 on the season this is a 44 yard attempt with the punter max run agur [Applause] short of the first down not even close a big loss on the play [Applause] well it's easy to sit up here and second-guess but when you have a team that has to win a team that has to win and you start throwing the ball do you kick her I have a little bit of a problem with that we've got a quarterback like Bernie Kosar I didn't get it done let's don't take any points off the board let's go ahead and kick this get ahead and make Dallas play catch up from the get-go so that was in Cleveland both denied to this point in the first quarter [Applause] you've seen four do this big downer for the defense it turned the ball back over to Ron Burton put a hurt Matt Farah they're fortunate the kicker was able to get off first down Hershel Walker growling his way for a first down before he's gone about let's see what happens you have a play like that you don't get any points out of it and he gives the other team an awful lot of life even though they're 2 and 11 these guys are still drawing a paycheck and they're gonna come out here and they're gonna play hard he give him life and makes it pecks a long day wipe out the 14 yard gain for Walker holding against the Cowboys Tom Landry and a Cowboys 88 offense still first down Michael Irvin the rookie receiver on that right side helped clear the way but he did it with a holding penalty and back though the Cowboys the tragedy this week in Herschel Walker's life on Monday his 31 year old brother Brennan was killed in an industrial accident his brother rennet was the first member of the family to play football the first one also to go to college very close to his brother funeral was yesterday in Georgia Walker flew in last night late for this contest and Herschel gets to carry first at 9:00 and he's stopped by Hanford Dixon we have an update from New York let's send you back to the studios and here's Britt Musburger Brett Jim here's what's going on around the league right now phil simms wearing gloves moving the Giants 15-yard touchdown pass to Robinson and the Giants over the Cardinals now by a big 10 points meanwhile in the AFC the Bengals bounced in with a touchdown number 14 on the season Fricke woods they blew the extra point six three they're back to Jim five minutes and 25 seconds left here in the first quarter no score extra back in now for the Browns will Hill joins him in the secondary on second and nine for Dallas bourbon in motion blacks in the backfield of Walker flag flies floor throws over the head of Darryl black at midfield Mike Johnson on the coverage but a flag down in the Dallas backfield Kenny we saw a graphic earlier the Cowboys are the third most penalized team in the National Football League I think I think one thing you can look at Jim when you talk about penalties especially on the Dallas side of the ball is their youth they've got you take Rafferty out of the offensive line you've got two extremely young offensive line there they're young on defense and their wide receivers are young a young quarterback basically a young team young team is going to make mistakes illegal hands to face number 68 offense still second down here's on the right side as Crawford Curran umber 68 Kenny well that's a no-no you know you can't get your hands up around the head up under the facemask keep that you can get your hands out but not around the face mask or head area that's for penalties against the Cowboys in the opening quarter for penalties 35 yards and all they've been backed up and now it's the second down play for Dallas second and 19 this kind of situation that Dallas does not want to be in he's predictable passing situations where the Browns can later no shotgun back and Walker [Applause] Berzin to the left the lure sweetens it out to crack the xxx out of bounds at the 37 yard line Gerald back knocked out by Hanford Dixon clack in his third season out of Arizona State he picks up 11 on the play and bring up a third and 8 for the Cowboys long yardage Cleveland gave him a sewn type defense dropped the secondary back dropped the linebackers back make you take the underneath stuff and come up and make the play Kenny what do you think about Steve pool or the Cowboys quarterback who has been so heavily criticized that back down home in Dallas well I think he has made some mistakes and he has played well he's been inconsistent the mistakes he's made Jim have been critical because they've been in scoring area [Applause] [Music] gray receivers out of the shotgun now is pole or Kelvin mark droop joins the receiving corps or steps forward Sam Clancy grabs him by the ankle it's funning time for the well you top of their defensive coordinator and talk to their defensive people one of the things that they're going to do to young Steve pearl or is they're going to put an awful lot of pressure on him by bringing people they're going to bring people from the outside in the middle they're going to bring a lot of people after him and pressure him make him rush everything that he does and they see right here they get outside pressure forced him up in the middle of a pocket they make the play fourth and seven Mike Saxon two-putt for the first time today Gerald McNeal [Applause] 20 kick spiral and kick McNiel at the 15 breaks one tackle within is Ron Burton again makes the tackle it's two big plays by Burton on special teams he denied Matt Barr on the fake field goal it stops McNeill on the punt return [Music] we're in the first quarter four minutes and 12 seconds remaining in the opening quarter well the dogs are to get lathered up here in the first quarter you know Cleveland is the only team in the National Football League without a logo team felt like it needed an identity and really hand for Dixon started this whole dog defense it has turned into a nickname for the whole team the dog he what he did he did it by barking at the defensive line to help him get a pass rush by barking out of luck a dog chasing a cat flying horn and spot though why to the right side ribbon to the left play-action fake here's the task of button though of the 20 on one knee bill Bates and Everson walls combined on the stop after a 7 yard gain bill Bates the leading tackler for the Cowboys well that's a matchup that they that they won't mind taking if you can get to get a back like Fontenot out and you can make a strong safety which is usually the weaker cover guy in the secondary the weakest cover guy in the secondary strong safety get him out one-on-one and he's going to play off give the receiver an awful lot of yards you just take that create two short yardage situations like we have here Seattle the New England two other teams pursuing wild card spots although Seattle of course is still in that divisional race out in the West very much into that of all those teams around 7 & 6 8 and 5 or right up against each other with three weeks to go in the season earnest Byner on the carry Eugene Lockhart locks him down at the 25-yard line gain of one on the play okay right here what you're going to see is you're gonna see lock cards you the middle linebacker and his job is to roam from side to side watch him come here watch this there he goes he sees a play breaking now he takes the angle of pursuit to cut him off and makes the play Ron Burton again was the first man to get near em and eugene lockhart finished them off will measure for the first down you know Marty Schottenheimer has been maligned an awful lot because of not being imaginative on offense but they really don't have the people that it takes to be real imaginative they've got a straight ahead blocking offensive line Jim they've got two big strong back to the basically gain the same amount of yardage this year for 450 or so yards apiece and they are a straighter hair straight ahead power blocking outfit and protect your quarterback and he is a great young quarterback and s their style of play it's not an exciting style but it's very very effective and they've had to battle the injuries Kosar earlier in the year absolutely especially to him plus two more starters who stepped in were knocked out by injury they've lost two players to this point in the first quarter Kevin Mack Clarence weathers both have been knocked out of action finer and Baker in the backfield make that Tim Manoa in the backfield on third and one flag falls play is stopped it's going against Cleveland both start prior to the snap number 81 offense still third down Kenny really Bernie Kosar is just right now getting into the groove great coming off of the injury the arm is not 100% we spoke with him yesterday it's taped he has a rubber sleeve over his arm we may be we may see him throwing the ball on the sideline between series to try to keep it warm coming back off the injury you have to get refilling of the receivers but I think they're really extremely happy to have him back there coming off of their best outing against Washington I think the team is probably better right now that it has been in a long time he missed six games and all tooth Bernie Kosar he's not pretty doing it but he gets back now for some six weeks getting the rust out third and six finer the lone setback is the pass incomplete intended for Brian Brennan oh and a late flag on Ron Francis Ron Francis will be flagged here for the infraction pass interference number 38 defense first and Francis of the second year out of Baylor well they get a man-to-man coverage they're trying to put pressure on Bernie you see Randy white coming from the left side it's going to be extremely tight coverage but not quite that tight Brian Brennan a possession type receiver runs a good routes look for him to catch the ball underneath the coverage today Fontenot to the right flying horn slot right on first and ten for Cleveland finer in the backfield he gets the carry [Applause] pickup of two on the play for Ernest Byner Clarence weathers is back in the game now for Cleveland you've been helped off earlier in this quarter with that knee injury now he's going back to the sidelines Ernest Byner the enforcer on offense he's the guy thinking thing breaks out any extracurricular activities out there breaks out we looked at him to be right in the middle of it extremely tough guy physically tough he's had to be really mentally tough too after the fumble thing they've they've maligned him in the local papers around here but he's really handling first class individually Langhorne to the right botton those to the left Brennan slot left finer in the backfield Ozzie Newsome now shipping on second and eight and again play as crystal dead Dallas was blitzing on that play Ron Burton came in quickly but all for naught and again Gerry seaman with the call delay of game offense still second down [Applause] snake what do you remember about playing here at Cleveland Stadium on a cold afternoon just about like this crowd noise crowd noise it's always a problem here it's I guess the capacity wise our largest in the league and these people are avid fans and you get these dogs in the endzone down here you get them all lathered up and barking and raising Cain it makes for a kind of a fun place to play but the crowd can be a factor in the game especially down around the goal lines going in and coming out they come dressed up and their dog outfits with again yellow flags everywhere on 2nd and 13 [Applause] encroachment number 98 defense still second down [Applause] Kenny this time it goes against the Cowboys well they're jumping around they're trying to give Bernie a lot of different looks you know and try to confuse him but to make him see something that he thinks might happen in back out of it just give him a lot of look extremely smart quarterback and you try to eat it you have to try to do as many things defensively to him as you can the rhythm when he knows what you're doing you're in trouble back to 2nd and 8th the Cowboys now have been black six times in the first quarter for only two penalties in the last game against Houston Pass is caught by langhorne at the 40 cuts to the right side he's at midfield Everson Wallace's knock and there goes Ritchie lying for a touchdown [Applause] Brian Brennan finished off Everson walls who was the only man with a shot at Reggie Langhorne we ran to the right side and found open room and the Browns are on the board with the big play 73 yards well here it is you're going to see him coming from the left-hand side of your screen makes the play right there nicely throw watch the block by Brian Brennan right there that's excedrin headache number whatever big play this is the guy that has come up with a big place for Cleveland Reggie Leghorn extra point is goodbye that far and Reggie Langhorne runs 73 yards after the reception from Bernie Kosar and a beautiful block by Brian Brennan to set him free and the Browns lead with 35 seconds remaining in the first quarter seven to nothing [Applause] Bernie Kosar numbers here in the first quarter of course they were certainly padded with the run after the catch on this play look at that stance to Bernie co-star under the center right leg back left leg forward the reason they do that is Bernie's not the quickest guy in town not the best athlete on the field he has a little trouble getting out blunder Center running into guards that the offensive lineman I have a tendency to step on his feet which that can't be much fun either so what they do is they cheat that one leg back and try to get him out from under the center as quick as they can he hasn't missed 118 yards passing 73 of it on that play that's what they have to have is they have to be able to run the ball straight ahead and create the short yardage situations and protect Bernie Kosar that's the way this team has to play office last week sacked 6-times against Washington you got to keep that guy as clean as you can if you're going to get into party during the playoffs just a foreplay drive after the explosion from Kosar to langhorne seven to nothing it is cold on the field [Applause] right off Lake Erie the winds come in and it brings that windchill factor down to about 15 degrees right now [Applause] so Matt bar will pick away to the Cowboys Darryl clackin Cornell Burbage her pitch on the right is leading the NFC and kickoff returns [Applause] black is fourth Burbage last week returned 153 yards against the Oilers but he also fumbled a kickoff return in the fourth quarter [Applause] bars kick squib kick fielded at the 20-yard line [Applause] titin sir Titan sir returns it to the 29 yard line [Applause] well they throw the ball of their kicker and he gets banged up trying to be a receiver on the play that we talked about earlier when they had to fake field goal that particular kickoff right there is kind of a knuckle ball down through the middle and makes you wonder whether or not maybe the bruised ribs are affecting his ticking could be a factor if the game stays close to the field you have to have a field goal to win the game we have to keep that in mind I suppose bar also has the flu today number 35 picking team three kick five-yard penalty offensively for the Dallas Cowboys what they're going to have to do is they have to have good first down plays Jim they cannot yet in predictable situations of second and 15 and third and Tans those type things because the Cleveland defense is just too tough against that situation they've got to keep them off balance with the traps and those drawers and screens and and spread the ball around and have good first down plays very important Cleveland's going to wreak kick as you see Tom Landry third most wins in NFL history only George Halas and Don Shula had more victories the man with the flu bug that bar we'll kick away again to Daryl clack and Cornell Burbidge back deep for Dallas final seconds of the first quarter nothing Cleveland scooped up by Daryl Smith at the 25 and out to the 33 yard line 21 seconds left to the first quarter Steve Pulu are one of the few players on the field without a long-sleeved sweatshirt underneath his jersey you know some quarterbacks really don't like anything like that don't like to wear a flak jacket they don't like anything around them they don't like anything on their arms or around their wrist area and the elbow area because they think that that affects the way that they throw I think it's just up to the individual I always wore as much as I could I hear you so the Cowboys have it at their 34 yard line black and Walker in the back Pro set offense for Dow [Applause] action fake the Walker rolling rifle lure throws it's caught by urban ice moved to get away he's at midfield in in Cleveland territory after the move to shake one tackle Eddie Johnson finally brought him down Devon max now out of the haka row again he had x-rays taken of that hand we may be seeing more of him where at the end of the first quarter in Cleveland with the Browns leading the Cowboys seven a lot of people up there Jim Fowler and walkers but behind there they come the Loire Rose it down the left side and it's over the head of Everett gay and I thought the Dallas line did a good job of picking up the pressure coming in on Bloor well as we see it look at all these people up there they put a lot of people up there because they're going to get a lot of pressure on the young quarterback we touched it on it earlier you see I'm jumping around up there make him get rid of the ball let's see yes stole the ball extremely quick the thing that you do get in that situation is you're guaranteed of a man-to-man type coverage with our guy beat your guy that's the first incomplete pass of the game pick third and nine for the Cowboys now trailing seven to nothing early stages of the second quarter Alice has scored only two touchdowns all in the second quarter the shotgun [Applause] the pocket firing he's got a man caught inside the 30 michael irvin he's down at the 28 yard line michael irvin 20 yard pickup on the play good protection for blue well that's the big play guide hasn't been a big play guy for them this year it's been Alexander but this is a guy they expect this out of their number one draft choice Michael Irvin that they the thing that makes this play successful the thing that makes it happens is they get good pass protection they left floor stand back there if you give any quarterback enough time they do little surgery on you Michael Irvin to a fast start of this game reception of the contest Dallas lines up in the eye [Applause] the tailback or Chandler the tie-in in motion first attend a handoff up the middle Darrell clack he's inside the 20 and down to the 19 flagged down however at the line of scrimmage [Applause] darrel clack we've been told would see more action today Marlin Jones made the tackle illegal procedure against the Cowboys [Applause] again they were only penalized last week against Houston twice is now seven police seven penalties on the Cowboys yolivos if two men moved on offense and got reset prior to the snap still first time referee Gerry seaman is getting more exposure than Geraldo Rivera but you know it all goes back to what we said earlier about the flag football a lot of penalty you get a lot of young players playing together the other factor in the penalties in this particular game Jim the crowd noise they can't hear the cadence based on what the quarterback says they know [Applause] the receivers first and 15 it's plaque and law should take to Walker roll he has plaque at the 30 dancing his way down to the 25-yard line Frank Minnifield makes the tackle eight yard pickup on the play to Daryl clack what about Minnifield and Hanford Dixon is there a better pair of corners in the league to copy probably not you know the thing that really makes them good Jim we talked to both those guys yesterday at the same time I think it makes them good as they both like their job for one they really enjoy playing there you see clack catching the ball after the play fake out of the flat against his own but those two corners you talked about the reason they're playing so well they study so hard this film after film after film they both started last year the Provo hello rose six for seven the game of passive second here's the pitch the Walker he's got room inside the 20 look out to the side the 10 and down to the they had stepped out before the five spotted at the seven but that whole left side was opened up for Hershel Walker evidently a couple of good block by Waddell and Nate Newton on the left-hand side because once you let look at the left-hand side right here it's going be to the right of the screen and you let a guy that has world-class speed like Herschel Walker and you let him get outside see they pin number 59 in there he gets a good block from Fowler number 46 here comes Clay Matthews to help once that world-class speed gets that side you're in trouble that was a fabulous on Felix right in an 18-yard gain for Herschel Walker this drive good first down play situations Dallas has to take a timeout Kenny I worked the game last week for CBS Radio on Thanksgiving Day and they had two occasions we're inside the tent again they had to call a timeout just as they do now hate to waste them to get your gal to see the light it takes time it isn't always love it sighs I'm really loud no doubt Jim I think you come out of the logo when you come on market they call that [Applause] inside the 5 to the Darrell Sims Mike Johnson on the tackle to this point in the contest with Cleveland leading 7 to nothing Kosar a perfect 6 for 6 and the long touchdown 70 three yard touchdown pass to Reggie Langhorne 7 penalties on the Cowboys total yards now starting to even up double tight ends now for the Cowboys as they send in Steve fulsome the Portland Chandler on the right side left - Walker Walker is dropped for a yard loss Sam Clancy but Grayson they grab a with the six of the yard loss David grace and I played with his father's father was a safety with the Oakland Raiders when I played a while back he was brought in as a replacement player replacement player ran a for 640 more nice Marty Schottenheimer like that made the team and his beat out their number one draft choice wait wait wait a minute you said you played with his father played with his father doesn't seem like that long ago but I play with his father in the late sixties now after the loss [Applause] Cowboys from the seventh look out here comes the Blitz the passport I crack at the five and he gets in for the touchdown scores the touchdown for the Dallas Cowboys - nice efforts won by the quarterback to get rid of the ball under extreme heavy pressure people all over him we sit at the top of the show that they were going to put a lot of pressure on a young quarterback by bringing a lot of people they do it he does a great job of getting rid of the ball great job by track of extra effort to put it in the end zone just for good measure another flag on the play I believe it's after the touchdown scored unsportsmanlike conduct number 88 spike the ball and did not score a five-yard penalty will be assessed a little overzealous Mike over but he grabbed the football out of clocks hands and said he's working on his five I got a work order yeah choreograph spike you got to work on him occasionally but there's a great job of getting rid of the ball great second effort here by clack to drag him into the end zone and Ervin takes a ball and spikes it right here he's going to enjoy this he hasn't had the occasion to do that much this year as a matter of fact pureness Irvin just ripping the ball out of the hands of clack I can ho as he faces the dogpound he spikes it but that'll cost the Cowboys on the kickoff on the ensuing kickoff plaque scores the touch now that's his first of the season and clack did a great job of beating Bryan Washington who had a shot at of at the three yard line and again with a big third and goal and he ended up short of the goal line good miss max there you get brown Washington Safety trying to tackle a 200 back in the back sort of window and he did a deed Roger ruzek to attempt the extra point the lure and we are tied ten minutes in 19 seconds left in the second quarter Cleveland and Dallas seven and seven now boys driving 66 yards using up over five minutes of the clock usually the second quarter is the most productive quarter as far as scoring points around the league but coming into Cowboys that only managed 26 points in 13 games in the second quarter this year it's only the third time they found the end zone this year in the second quarter I think it's because of a young team again and the reason you will see the second quarter become the most productive is because all the adjustments are made through the first quarter you try to find out what teams are doing to you on defense you try to find out what formations are working for the other team on offense it takes you a quarter or so to make your adjustments in making adjustments veteran teams are going to make those adjustments a lot easier and a lot quicker can stay a very young Dallas football team good point Cowboys now tied seven and seven and ready to kick away standing at the 10-yard line Glenn Young and Herman Cocteau because of the penalty the Cowboys the penalty after the touchdown a Michael Irvin ruzek kicking from the 30 he switched it dislike bar three bounces young picks it up at the 17 with a 32 the 33 yard line and we've got another flag well the first quarter was real sloppy with penalties it starts off this quarter with another penalty and reps aren't letting them play it almost gets to a point where you wonder are you disrupting the flow there's no doubt I think basically Andy you try to get into some kind of rhythm on offense and defense every time there's a flag thrown it takes you out of it we're gonna have to stop the starter turn number 48 receiving team first down eight penalties now on the Cowboys we still have ten minutes remaining in the second quarter that's eight penalties on the Cowboys and that one on Cleveland is number four for them there you see Bernie Kosar Bernie's Bernie's right arm Bernie has got tape on his right arm he's got a rubber sleeve over the tape and then the problem with his situation right now is keeping that injury warm he has to keep it warm by throwing the wall on the sidelines lately comes out now with a three receiver set finer the backfield the pass divider the 30 to the 40 [Applause] finally stopped by Everson walls and Eugene Lockhart but a flag down by the quarterback [Applause] illegal hands to the face number 73 deep Cleveland out has it and Dallas territory penalty on Danny do nadir kitty watch number 73 right there Danny knew to look at his left hand look at his left hand he's got his left hand up under the facemask that's a no-no and that's a 30-yard gain on the play - earnest Byner that's his longest reception of the season provider Kosar is a perfect seven for seven max back in the game he's the full-back here in the eyes here's the carry buy finer finer picks up good yardage to the 43 a gain of six Cleveland driving again but send you back to New York with an update here's brent musburger Jim the Philadelphia Eagles go ahead of the Washington Redskins and they did it because of this interception by Joyner now initially the officials call that touchdown but he stepped out of bounds at about the 19 and from there Randall Cunningham drove it in 10 7 back to Jim here 9 minutes and 10 seconds left in the second quarter Cleveland Dallas all tied Browns have it now second at 4 from the Cowboys 43 yard line Mac and biner again in the information behind Bernie Kosar derrickson now in the game as well as a second time in here's the carry by minor no game provider trying to run behind right tackle Kody reason all pro right tackle for the Cleveland Browns at his ninth year out of Texas A&M Fairbanks high school back in Texas scores around the league the Giants leading Phoenix we just saw the update from Brent on that game aim worse Cleveland fans very interested in Cincinnati atop the AFC Central with a 10-point lead over San Diego siding off in bloomer Assassin toes the ball all over the field and played really good defense in Cincinnati too now taking the lead on the Dolphins 14 to 7 for receiver set for Cleveland [Applause] first down down to the 31-yard line that slant patterns been working all day Robert Williams a one-on-one coverage but Brian Brennan has the first down for the Browns well you're going to get Brian Brennan matched up on Robert Williams a little quick see Bernie Kosar sits at about five yards throws a strike very accurate passer in this range of throwing the ball he just take that right there throw the ball in front that's what Bernie Kosar strength is in fact that he reached defense is so well gets the ball correct Mack is out of there now and Fontenot comes in for Cleveland on first and tenth Fontenot wide to the left as a receiver for receiver set for the Browns finer the lone setback [Applause] [Music] the 32 the cowboy spot no hands to catch at the 20 and down the and bates combined on the tackle but it's another big gainer for the browns well you see right there you're going to see Fontenot right there where is the defensive back he's Safari does safari off of him he doesn't even make the picture Bernie Kosar takes a look out there Robert Williams number laying off seven or eight yards just take that little easy throw right in front of them Kosar the first half snake is 9 for 9 for a hundred and seventy-seven yards like we said he sees thanks [Music] Kevin Mack checks back in [Applause] with the carrot back inside the ten to the nine Gary Cobb combines with Ed too tall Jones on the tackle a four yard pickup by Mack glad to get Kevin Mack back big game last week and their running game has been questioned this year I think one of the reasons their running game hasn't worked very well GM is because the passing game has suffered any time you pass the game suffers you're running games going suffer the loss of Bernie Kosar everybody has problems how about that graphic right there fitting last of the league and putting it in the end zone once they're inside the 20 been terrible inside to 20 the tough the offensive coaches yesterday combination of a lot of different things penalties [Applause] for very little yardage you cheat Lockhart clocks the middle it'll be a third down play for Cleveland inside the ten again a set straight ahead running style of the Cleveland offense with those big bags with Kevin Mack and Ernest Byner nothing fancy nothing outside because they're not the type of backs it run outside they don't have the great speed to get outside everything is right at you Kevin Mack comes out Gerald McNeil goes in [Music] Langhorne to the right others and Brennan to the left a lot of people up there Jimmy for Bernie Kosar on the ground the lone setback [Applause] those are looking right incomplete at the goal line intended for Reggie Langhorne [Applause] pass incomplete and deflected at the line of scrimmage that's his first misfire today good job of getting penetration by the front people to make Bernie throw the ball before he would like putting people in his face make him deliver the ball before he wants to watch this right here watch the pressure come up through the middle he's he known in 73 here comes Randy white on the twist they get people in front of him all around him make him get rid of the ball before he would like and they stopped him straightaway 25 yard field goal attempt you written met bar no trickery on this field goal attempt Cleveland takes the lead with 4 minutes 54 seconds left in the second quarter the Browns lead it 10 to 7 you don't have to buy a

sundaes they're just our way of wishing you a joyous season too tall Jones almost got his hands on this one that's why they put him right over the center because you gotta got this six seven six eight and his job is to get penetration the way you do that is you first hit the center try to knock him back a yard get a yard or two penetration and then get your hands up that is amazing to think he has never missed a game or even a practice not played in games I wish he would have missed that Park icking away clack and Burbidge back deep for the Cowboys Burbidge has it at the six here's the NFC's leading kickoff returner not much on this one 14-yard return for Burbidge to the 20-yard line time out of the field with 446 left before the half the Browns lead it by a field goal at the 2nd Avenue

today at 3:30 Eastern that'll be followed by the Eagles and the Cardinals two of the top teams from the NFC East burn one quest and Terry Bradshaw will be on hand from Arizona that's next Saturday the Eagles and the cargoes Arizona can't be all bad this time of year huh woof take your golf clubs with you Burt and Terry the way you play I'm just going to watch [Applause] first attend [Applause] now boys can throw on first down it's caught by flack this is same play they scored on five-yard pickup to the 25-minute field and glancing on the stop along with Mike Johnson as you said Jim it's the same play that they they scored on and what they do is they come out of the I formation they faked a walker you see it right there that's the hole of linebackers they get two linebackers to Hale hole in one spot they slipped the full-back in there in front of them are behind them he makes that read sharks safe pass the call this quarter touchdown earlier Black has now caught four passes here in the first half lot of play passes because that defense those linebackers are very aggressive they react an awful lot they're quick and overreact occasionally second and five Barton in motion double Tainan here's the carry my walk dis fighting his way first down for Hershel Walker that is all power on that way [Applause] breaking tackles and picking up the first down Herschel Walker well as the counter tray type thing is the same thing that washes that Washington made a very exciting watch these two people watch the guard and attacked on the left hand side right here there's a little counter stay up the garden to tackle both pull to their right Herschel block Herschel Walker's responsibility is to cut off either tackles block are the guards block first and 10 Cowboys from there in 33 yard line three minutes and 20 seconds before the half walker and Todd split behind Kahlua [Applause] left side Walker to the 40 41 yard line I think the important thing here is the first down place they're getting good first down plays they had to play pass on the first series hit clack out in the flat create short yardage situations this time they get a seven or an eight yard run out of Herschel Walker creating another short yardage situation and this keeps the Cleveland defense off-balance you see Kevin Sweeney on the sidelines Danny white and the sweater on the sidelines helping out as well of course he's on the injured reserve list his 36 year old Danny white well we had a great talk with um yesterday and he would like one more shot with this ballclub he would like the opportunity to say hey here's your ballclub in 1979 Landry says hopefully be back second and two Walker picks up the first down at the 46 yard line by clifford Charlton rookie out of Florida first down for the Cowboys two minutes 15 seconds left Cowboys not in any hurry to get another playoff before the two-minute warning well there's Danny wide we started talking about him and I really had a nice conversation with him yesterday and I really feel for him he wants to play badly do you think he should come back I'm not sure that I think he should come back I know that he wants to come back

mr. Art Modell he's been great too and since we've been here and they've bent over backwards to help our to help our crew he's saying that we get it has been a pleasure working with him balus first and 10 from its 46 yard line first down the lure as the reception to is stopped after a seven-yard gain in Cleveland territory Mike Johnson on the tackle Dallas will have to work against the clock now and the Cowboys haven't utilized one of their timeouts inside the 10 will work with two timeouts worse coming up at half-time Brett herb and dick will have scores and highlights from around the league much dick we'll have the story of a player in a position that's often overlooked the center position and the great one from the Colts to Ray Donaldson Center for the coast black and Walker in the backfield who lures setting up a screen the clock black spins loose it gets out of Bounce saved a lot of time on that and picked up a first down as well nice piece of running by Darrell clack good balance bike like to get the first down they're gonna take a good hard look at Darrell clack they're going to use a lot of receivers today and evaluate this team for next year for the 1989 season their success they're having on this particular Drive Jim I think it's all predicated on the fact that they're getting good first down plays they're creating those short yardage situations which enables them to do the drawers and the screens and the things that they're doing and I think they have Cleveland's defense off balance a little bit Terral clack has hit five receptions today he had only seven on the entire season coming in first and ten from the 41 of the Browns and the play is whistled dead [Applause] it's like a delay of game penalty [Applause] delay of game offense Cowboys take too much time bringing the plays in and this is what's happened inside the 10 today and again it happened on two occasions last week when they were taking on the Houston Oilers well you have to get them in as quick as they possible so the two quarterback and most quarterbacks in systems where they send into place on the sidelines they have the ability to change that play if they would like they have that kind of flexibility the earlier you can get the guys to play the more time that he has to get up to the line of scrimmage take a look at the defense and make any kind of audible or adjustment that he might need Cleveland brings in some extra defensive backs mark Harper Brian Washington and will Hill add to the ranks had to call home did he we're trying to pull the rates or cheaper on the weekend or they fall home wife says get loaf of bread some milk come on home we're ready to go and the Cowboys again will come fluor flanked by rush this pass is over Burbage was in the area Burbage one-on-one coverage with Frank Minnifield guarding him and pool or just threw that one away with the Blitz coming on well miscommunication are inaudible at the land it evidently the wide receiver didn't pick up I was watching him he ran about a 12 yard out route calor throws a ball about 30 yards down the field [Applause] Eagles just getting better and better in Cincinnati steamrolling past San Diego in the first half second and 15 with a minute and four before the shotgun and good protection the lowers pass incomplete intended for Calvin Martin but almost intercepted by Mark Harper [Applause] well they come after him with a blitz you see the linebacker Grayson go in there it's man-to-man there's head for Dixon number 29 up top and here you see number 83 right there almost intercepted good tight man-to-man coverage which you have to have if you're going to blitz the quarterback first time that Kelvin Martin has been thrown to today mark Harper and his third season out of Alcorn State knocked it away so third and 15 for the Cowboys 59 seconds before the long he has a man at the 10 then it's caught by Burbidge at the 5 he has ruled down at the 5 cornell verbage that's a bad place to celebrate down the on that in you get hit in the head with a bone 41 yards on the pass play Pulu ER to a sliding cornell burbage Burbage got back up on his feet he thought he might have scored he wasn't sure he had been down by one of the Browns defender there's Class C 91 you see the pressure which there isn't very much man-to-man coverage he throws the ball up it's a great adjustment watch the adjustment he has to come inside three or four yards and a diving catch nice adjustment on the ball by Burbidge and like we said you celebrate on that dog in down there you get hit in the head with a bone here they come here they come it might be more than a bone they get out of there throw right overhand for Dixon Cornell Burbidge with his first reception of the season picks up 41 yards on a third and 15 play Dallas will have it first and goal from the five the Cowboys have taken a timeout their customary timeout inside the 10 so it seems yeah you hate to see that because they're awfully important than any place in the field but especially down there here you see the catch again you see Burbidge watch the adjustment he's on the sidelines and he has to come in and great receivers have to adjust the balls that aren't thrown perfect you know I'm not so sure he wasn't back up on his feet before he had been down Kenny that could have been a touchdown we get another look at on first engulfed by action fake here's the past Folsom touchdown Dallas Steve pulse of the backup tight end [Applause] and the Cowboys take the lead well a nice gun a nice play fall down here last time they were down in this particular part of the field Jim they ran Walker up the middle they ran straight ahead with a dive type play instead here they bring the tight in across in motion they're going to give a little play fake in the middle there it is right there to Walker that's what they ran last time down there everybody has to respect Herschel Walker tidy and slips in behind it Steve Folsom's eighth catch of the season his second touchdown of the Cowboys lead it with 41 seconds before the intermission good call against the real active group of linebackers like Eddie Johnson Mike Johnson most people ruzek with the extra point attempt and it's good I was a good fake buy to lure and you know it was set up well because as we said last time they were down in the five-yard land they hit up in the middle on first down with Walker and he kind of sets that up right there consider that Dallas had scored two touchdowns all season in the second quarter it's two touchdowns in 13 tries and today they've scored two touchdowns in the second quarter they've equaled that today yeah they've done it the hard way because they penalize themselves on offense and on defense they've played through penalties and they've got the ball down their pool or has made the big plays when he's had to he's throwing for a high percentage today his receivers are doing a good job of coming up with the big plays and you give a team life like this I mean there's such a fine line between a two and 11 team and a team like this that you give anybody's life up it can be tough Cowboys a team with nine consecutive losses and Cleveland certainly the team right now with a lot riding on this contest eight and five on the season and the wild-card chase not totally ruled out of the divisional race but really it's a there's so many possibilities at this point Kenny it's almost scientific you have to get down into so many variables to try to figure it out at this point itay a gym it was a lot easier as a player familiar just go out and play whoever they threw out there on the field and beat them let somebody else keep up with the standings but there there's exactly what you're talking about and one thing's for certain the Browns they win their final three games they will be in the playoffs is at least a wild-card team again it's a long shot that they could overtake the Fingal's by the end of the season in three weeks from a player's standpoint the players really they know what they have to do but they don't they won't keep up with all the scenarios they won't keep up with all the variables that it would take to get into playoffs what the players do is they just said put a team out there let us go in and you guys figure out standards Cincinnati with a win today against San Diego assured itself of at least a wild card the church's squid kick by ruzek and is picked up by police Sam Clancy Sam Clancy it is the defensive lineman returns it past the 35 to the 37 yard line Bernie Kosar 9 for 10 both of the quarterbacks with impressive numbers in the first half 9 410 177 yards the lure has thrown for two touchdowns on the other end Houston and Cleveland will meet in the final game of the regular season right here at Cleveland stadium you have to think that will be a very important that had bearings as to who will host the wild turkey with four receivers 36 seconds co-stars throwing applying more never said walls was in the area little bumping going on but it may have been langhorne who hit ever some walls well the crowd was in Affairs but they're not going to get it the official says that the ball was overhead not a catchable ball and that's too [Applause] thirty seconds remaining well they're certainly not going to sit on the ball right here with only 30 seconds left as evidenced by that play they're going to try to get something out of it [Applause] collectively the quarterbacks 21 for 26 300 tendon yards coceres pass caught by Brennan at the 45 snake he is right by the first-down yardage Parker the 47 yard line which is probably going to be a break for Cleveland Jim because they're gonna stop the clock and take a real close look at this and that where they going to give them a first down they are are they'd going to give him the first night I thought they might measure as well but it's a first down for the Browns they've already moved the chains here's the pass play across the middle Bernie yet - like to watch Bernie play the ball comes from every conceivable angle that you can think of sometimes he's over the top sometimes he's side arms sometimes he's three-quarter it really doesn't matter higher delivers the ball they just seemed to keep moving the chains again Brian Brennan had held all of Boston College receiving records and they were later broken by the Cowboys Kelvin Martin at Boston College watch Bernie watch when he throws a ball he's sliding backwards with his right foot he throws us a chose a sidearm strike - Brennan a good possession type player that's very good a gift zone tight coverage because it runs good precise route City nutters - understands where the linebackers are but Bernie's really fun to watch because like I said you never know where the ball is coming from out of her [Applause] so now we have 20 seconds remaining in the first half Dallas leads at 14 to 10 he's got one black back this is customary [Applause] that's a sack by the Cowboys Gary Kosar cornered by cob and it's a big loss and the Browns have to utilize another timeout with 16 seconds remaining well here it is they get pressured on burning the way they do it is they bring the linebackers you're gonna see Gary Cobb number 59 you see him coming to the left part of your screen he's on Bernie before he has time to set up and take a look at what's going on down there he had no chance Kenny let's check some of the scores now from around the league on the sports wire Tampa Bay leading Buffalo on a surprise finding Testaverde has the touchdown of that game with a four yard run well you always think about teams like Buffalo if that playing well spot the playoffs and you wonder how they're playing this week they've got their people in or not Colts are a key back Cleveland as far as the AFC wild card picture a very important game for Indianapolis in the East very important game for Seattle and in the Western Division they're all bunched up with Denver and Oakland and Los Angeles and New England has a seven and six record absolutely San Francisco is putting the heat on the New Orleans Saints in the Western Division of the NFC Dallas fans thought this might be the day the Green Bay would win opening the way for Troy Aikman but it's all alliance in the first half 16 seconds before the hand are flushed out of the pocket bro it's a big deal gets up and out of bounds with nine seconds left girl good job bad McNeil love knowing where the sideline just located no one is running short at times get out of bounds and stop the clock and have one more shot to do something maybe a Hail Mary [Applause] Gerald McNeil nine seconds left Marty Schottenheimer will bring McNeal out and send Clarence weathers back in there's proof that the little guy can play yeah that's a loop with guys not big as a whole handle he was back there returning punts and kickoffs and catching the ball and little guys can play too nine seconds left third and 12 the grounds good brush by the Cowboys and again Cozart goes down Kosar goes down as he is wrapped up by Marc Whelan we'll play the DOMA Houston Tampa Bay over the Buffalo Bills Cincinnati's keeping an eye on Buffalo's ship Buffalo lose today the Bengals win Cincinnati would have at this point the home field there's Herschel Walker on the care a little game and that's it awfully important to play at home as evidence here with this type crowd or in Cincinnati the same type crowd and I think the home field advantage varies from stadium to stadium based on whether it's outside with a group of people like here are inside and in a dome Stadium I don't think home-field advantage is as much as say here are in Cincinnati over Buffalo buffalo is very good event those we were up there earlier in the year and those fans are just like the ones here will Hill and Mark Harper two extra defensive backs come in for Cleveland on third and six Dallas with a four receiver set once so Walker it's under center five handsome the lure throws incomplete intended or Kelvin Martin at the 27-yard line Harper on the coverage well if you're playing defense safety here's what you're looking at bluer back there they're trying to get a now try out to Martin out here but the little bit of pressure at the defensive line gets makes pole or have to unload the ball little sooner throws a ball too far out front wonder if Davos would try any trickery at this point when the four point needed meet Fiat I don't think so from the 40-yard line bikes accident he will boot it away big high kick we'll hit inside the 10 inside the five in fact that takes the Hopkins of the Saxon is very efficient at kicking it inside the 20 that time the hop hook it into the end zone for a touchback Blue Diamond almond growers giving away the fun see Americans have been so good about buying a can a week of Blue Diamond almonds we're saying thanks with

Markie Post fast a teacher of few tricks do what I do watch my it's a real working relationship tricks of the trade Tuesday the frigid air around Cleveland Stadium packed house here where the Cowboys lead and Cleveland by the score of 14 to 10 Browns have the football for the first time in the second half what you expect we'll see out of the Browns offense any different from the first half kidding I don't think we'll see much different I think the running game will be the same I think they go have to throw the ball a little bit more the success they've had has been Bernie Kosar connecting on the outside people it opens up in the I formation back finer the tailback fighter gets the call and finer picks up four yards the first half becaused Mack went out for the large part of the first quarter they did not run any consistent rushing attack with one back now they don't seem to really have a consistent rushing attack with the back that they have but I really don't think that's the way to promise land I think the way for them is to get that offensive line to protect costar use a real short quick rhythm tight passing game and throw the ball weathers to the left blackboard to the right by neuronal wing on the right side [Applause] stopped at the line of scrimmage by Kevin Brooks maybe a gain of one there are some excellent numbers for the Browns when Kevin Mack goes over a hundred yards well you see these people in here they've been moving around an awful lot the reason they move around up there is to it is to just destroy the blocking combination just try to make it confuse the guards and the centers so that they don't block the corrects guy to try to shut down the running game third and six Manny Hendricks and Ron Francis joined the secondary for Dallas four receivers for the as by Cozart clock by brennan first down brown well that's where their success was in the first half Jim and I think that's exactly what they have to do now but I don't think they should do it on the on the downs when everybody in the stadium knows you're going to throw the ball I think they have to throw the ball on first down second down 10-yard completion Kosar now Pat this technique look at that stance well I don't know about a what to eat delivers the ball on time and to the right guy and like we said earlier the reason he's cockeyed under there is to get him out from under the center as quick as possible was that ever a problem for you it can be a problem with any quarterback if you hang around in there too long because pulling guards and people stepping back on pass protection can get on your feet first and ten Kosar throws it away complete in the area of Ozzie Newsome who has not caught a pass today Newsome has a streak of a hundred and forty consecutive games with a reception it's not palpable unto this point well you talk about great Titian's I think you have to mention him along with the Mike Ditka's in the day of Casper's the killer Winslow's and John Mackey's and people like that Ozzie Newsome is just a great great football player has been for an awful long time and who knows I think he may be miss Brown to organization in another capacity before long your coach at Alabama Bear Bryant said he was the best end he ever coached right there second and ten for Cleveland minor back [Applause] while Catonsville Kosar rose at the Macan complete Bates Lockhart Burton were all over there to converge on Mac should he get caught it third and ten will be the next play for the Browns well that's Bernie's outlet is a guy standing over there he's going to get the pressure he's looking downfield looking downfield it can't see anybody and this is an outlet just to get rid of the ball so that you don't suffer the sack the right thing to do this is a situation that they don't want to be in it's not the ideal situation to throw the football is to throw the football when you have to as opposed to when you want to predictable situations will get you in trouble 8 minutes in 18 seconds left in the third quarter with the Cowboys leading 40 four receivers for Kosar stays under center at the 30 at the 20 [Applause] Lag is down in the backfield of the Browns one yard hook up from Co SAR - Gerald McNeil but it's coming back [Applause] Kosar with his hands on his hips and dismay as this one will be coming back [Music] illegal hands to the face number 77 offense still third down Mickey Bolin well you hate that nobody hates the any worse than Rikki Bolin he steps in for Williams with a sore shoulder and he gets a holding penalty see if we can see it right here let's see if we can spot Ricky Bolin yeah he's got the hand on the outside number 73 Danny Noonan you have to keep those hands on the inside of the plane of the body he got his right arm on the outside he gets caught [Applause] I was third and 20 poor receivers [Applause] Williams of the Dallas Cowboys well you see Clarence weathers right there I was watching him he ran about a 10 or 12 yard out Bernie threw the ball 35 40 yards down the field whether or not it was an audible it's hard to say but there was miscommunication between that man right there weathers and the quarterback Bernie Kosar Rutger is the planner for Cleveland Calvin Martin that the Cowboys back to receive the punt that is there it's first [Applause] tries to make the catch he fumbles but is picked up by his teammate Robert Williams that Baldus went clear through his arms and it was retrieved by robert williams a near turnover for the cowboys who have the football and the lead [Applause] there is a flag down in the area of where Martin was trying to make the catch on the punch I saw no fair catch indication [Music] sumit now Benny go [Music] Marty's gonna do a little officiate and give him as much give him a hand here's a replay of it it looks like the ball just goes completely through his arms he doesn't even slow it down looks like he thought it was going to be contact I don't think he touched the ball close to a turnover mark Harper was right in his face as he attempted to make the catch mark Harper of Cleveland [Applause] Jerry seaman is the referee welcome Bansky is the replay official today and the communicator is Jim Heffernan well you have to give the goddess receiving the ball you have to give him room to at least make the catch and it was awfully crowded then close together and hit that maybe what they're looking at there was no infraction on the play because the ball had hit the ground prior to the contact first bad so then how boys have the football first and ten at their own 33 yard line well if you're a Cleveland Brown we've got an awful lot riding on this game and they've got to get in here their defense needs to make a Vic one if you thought you had to give up comfort to get a close shave norelco says think again their revolutionary shaving system shave skin clothes in a way that's incredibly comfortable as the hair enters the chamber the patented lift & cut system lifts each hair and holds it a split second the goring in the third quarter but the Cowboys lead it over cleveland 14 to 10 impressive numbers by steeple or well 417 133 yards and two touchdowns Walker and Fowler the operating out of the process growing on first down completion to Ray Alexander looks like he has the first down for Dallas he does at the 40 Ford 11 yard gain and today Fluer silencing some of the critics about the Cowboys quarterback problem well it's been a lot of critics surrounding that position a lot of people talking about it thinking that Danny Danny White's best days are behind him followers made the mistakes down in a scoring territory and coming out of his own territory a lot of talked a lot of people think that they need some new blood at that position a new fire somebody to build around a Troy Aikman tight player possible Todd power and Walker in the eye [Applause] and picks up two yards to the 46 yard line I'll tell you what if you're Cleveland Brown somebody has to make a play you have to look for somebody Bernie Kosar made the play on offense a minute ago but they get to penalty now the defense on the field somebody's got to come up to the big turnover they've got too much riding on the game they're struggling for a wild card berth winning division is remote but they're not making any plays they seem to just be kind of lethargic out there and if somebody's got to step forward and do something Walker 17 carries for 86 yards Cowboys at their 45 yard line six and a half minutes second and nine for Dallas the process [Music] bat it down [Applause] the line of scrimmage [Applause] Mike Johnson claimed Matthews in the area they have been Sam Clancy Willis Kobe Sam Clancy number 91 you look right there on your screen that's where the pressure is going to come from there's Class C down below Matthews from the outside that's the kind of pressure that they have to have those are the kind of plays that the defense has to step forward and make [Applause] begins to chant verging on this dog defensive [Applause] - every day [Applause] Everitt gay with a 23-yard hookup with Steve poll or well it's a nice corner route you're going to see it on the left-hand side of your screen here is a corner route to every day number 80 and the ball couldn't be thrown any perfect more perfect than this right here it all starts with the great pass protection watch where the ball is delivered the only guy that can come up that is gay nice throw nice catch Everett gay caught that over his former college teammate at the University of Texas Stephen Fry's [Applause] [Music] taking a look at [Applause] Gallus in the eye now first and tenth down the yard it was so loud down there ray Alexander the receiver why the left side raised his hands up as today I can't hear you on this so you can tell us inaudible watch the guys raise up watch the guys raise up and they will look in and so they can hear they look in there to try to hear something with this kind of crowd noise this is the thing that can happen an awful lot is you're going to have busted plays because you can't hear now inside of five minutes of the third quarter Dallas leading Cleveland 14 to 10 Jim Nance along with Ken Stabler second down and nine for the Cowboys [Applause] growing into place intended for the tight end Thornton Chandler at the 30-yard line Mike Johnson and on the coverage Harlan Jones put on some pressure purple or well the play fake was second down and nine or ten ago I don't agree with because you don't you're not going to run the ball you're gonna throw the ball so if I reverse out of there and why I try to play fake the ball because you're not going to run it you're going to throw the ball just drop straight back out of there and that will help the pass protection Dallas has had successes we see the bills have scored on a safety [Applause] this is 39 out of the shotgun [Applause] Michael Irvin way over his head Frank Minnifield was on the coverage michael irvin how did you see that one sitting but I think Minnifield had good coverage he had him covered in he draped all over it but he wasn't a foul he was just in in position to make the play on the boat I think it's good coverage could it possibly maybe it's a finish yes yep that'll go against Michael Irvin and the penalty might back that us up out of field goal range can be a big play right there pass interference number 88 offense penalty declined fourth down what do you think of that now you you refuse the penalty you can bring ruzic out now first let's take a look at the infraction offensive interference on Michael Irvin all right but don't catch the tail end of it right there see the right arm see Michael Irvin's right arm hits Minnifield across the three in across the one-minute field knows it and he pleads to the ref and gets the call you know there is so much wind swirling around Dallas is not going to attempt the field goal it would have been a 48-yard field goal attempt but Landry is going to bypass that and bring in Mike Saxon the penalty list likes accident try the boots punt [Applause] instead someone jumped in the Cowboys of course trying to lure the Browns offside false start offense let us don't be on the left-hand side of your screen where everything starts taking place they call a false start on Dallas from a punt tight there you see the false start right there which draws them offsides table and he's going to [Applause] Tom's giving his special teams people a hard go bill Bates and Darrell clack we're moving around on that left side of the line Cowboys and punt formation that's the 10th penalty of the game against the Cowboys well there's the idea here is going to kick them in the hole we stopped they're obvious on the last three or four series of downs let's kick them in the hole and play defense in our four Saxons standing right at midfield and again a whistle [Applause] late third quarter Cowboys leading at 14th of 10 this place is notorious for treacherous wind conditions coming off of Lake Erie right out of this end zone that the Cowboys are driving toward well did you think of the decision though to bypass the 48-yard field goal attempt it's not that windy today no it's not you look at the flags you look at the ribbons on top of the post the narration that they're kicking and they're straight down very still Saxon fix it into the end zone so the Browns will have it at the toilet can see is very little [Applause] when here at all [Applause] after the touchback beam Lockhart had a few things to say about the dog bones that are being thrown out of the dog pound well he's no dummy though you watch he doesn't like to go close he breaks it he stomps it get the heck out of there [Applause] like Kenny what do you think of the decision at only eleven yards from the original line of scrimmage had they missed the field goal attempt they never tried that point Jim no wind on the top of the flags out there ball club was kickin mcgivers between 4 [Applause] has it at the 37 Williams on the play first out Cleveland well that gets him out of hole he can't throw the ball any better net the ball was in the air the ball was in the air before weathers ever comes out of his move you can't see the receiver here are you gonna be able to see his Bernie Kosar releasing the ball all starts with great pass protection they get it he's already out of his move he didn't even see the ball he turns around there it is that's great great timing [Applause] the office now to make Clay's that Bernie Kosar making one last series to head to felony weathers picks up 19 first down for the brows [Applause] consecutive games with a Ozzie Newsome well like I said earlier if you start talking about tie this guy's name along with Oh John Mackey Casper that guy right there is a wonderful great football player Bernie Kosar his strength is seeing things he sees out his he's a defense spots Ozzy out there gives him his care good catch too Ernie's taking the game in his hands now he asked everybody looks these two guys [Applause] for the first down pickup of ten on the play first down Cleveland at its own 49-yard line what a great guy he is a lot of people think that you may see him in the front office at Cleveland one day outstanding member of the community

he they swapped they swap stories he taught daughters he came out of hand with the colic his daughters first in 20 after the penalty two minutes and 40 seconds left in the third quarter Gary Cobb forcing most Kosar is down on the field yes he hits him on his throwing arm very similar to the way that he was injured weeks ago boy everybody holds their breath when this guy gets hit like that [Applause] Kosar is backed up by Don struck is gary Danielson and Mike Pagal both have been injured trying to fill in for Kosar earlier in the season they're both on inter reserve watch where he gets hit when his arm is back see his arm his back they get him when he's tried to go forward that's the way that he hurt his arm originally you have to hold your breath every time he goes down he has to they have to have him in order to make the playoffs second and 20 finer lines up wide to the left side back the lone setback lying [Applause] under pressure to a spot by line worn at the 45 short gain for Cleveland pickup of 6 third and long coming up though Bates had the first hit on Reggie lying checking the sports wire Giants now 17 in front of the Cardinals Cardinals have the venture East the second week in a row last week Philadelphia this week New York [Applause] and Washington loses the Redskins are eliminated from the playoffs any chance of the playoffs Donn's Drock standing on the sidelines backup player attorney [Applause] just as Dan Marino there and this will be interference [Applause] Frances Clarence weathers never had a chance Frances just wrapped them up early once inside the Cowboys 30 at the 28 yard line here's a tail end of it you see weathers is out on the ball both going for the ball there's the left arm it comes across the shoulder prior to ball getting there no doubt about it first and 10 for the Browns [Applause] give to Byner five yards on the carry to the 23 yard line you get down in this part part of the field in this territory Jim as a quarterback once you get to the 20 yard line 15 yard line you start expecting man-to-man type defenses and try to get the matchups that you all kidding number 42 is checked in for Cleveland Tim and he was sorry to hear you were going to be here this way he's afraid of snakes Freitas now before I'm friendly no problem that's Manoa the lone setback by neuron we now set ocean on second and five years Thibodeau [Applause] we're on in that defensive front he might be afraid of that cowboy mine as well but you know they run the ball up in there was Manoah and the straight-ahead type stuff and their success has been throwing the football you know and you hate to sit up here in second guess because I've been in that situation down there but you have to question the fact that taking the ball running the ball up in there with second down in five and then you have the third down obvious passing situation their success has been Bernie Kosar throwing the football I think that's what they should Tim Manoa the man from Tonga checks out Cleveland a third of corn has four receivers in the game closing seconds of the third quarter Dallas may have jumped no flag pass is caught for a first down they just goes up and [Applause] that much room seconds of the third quarter this crowd putner was going to the end of offsides encroachment penalty against the Cowboys there was no flag but it doesn't matter [Applause] the first down at the 14 yard line it's the end of the third quarter with this I was 14 for work [Music] this is CBS Scandinavian is still celebrating the grand opening of

[Applause] tended for Reggie Langhorne at the 5:00 well you noticed there down on the dog pound in now GM and that crowd is helping out the offense by being a lot quieter than they are when the opponents down there so that Bernie cannot do his audible work I was intended actually for Herman Fontenot a running back who they lineup as a receiver quite often what do you think that is [Applause] hesitate the guest but he's got conviction system created a monster all right four receivers now four [Applause] of the 14 again they've had trouble scoring touchdowns inside the 20 they're dead last [Applause] now breaks the tackle of Michael downs and scores the touchdown well a good job by that guy right there getting rid of the ball under heavy pressure watch from the left-hand side of your screen on the outside coming clean nobody on him he delivers the ball right over great secretary good job Bernie Kosar to read that get rid of it that far to attempt the extra point Art Modell watching the play has a happy man monitor on the whole our makes it 1714 Cleveland back in front for Herman Fontenot his second touchdown of the season his other touchdown had been scored on a blocked punt return this one a 14-yard past reception breaking the tackles and a dog pound town is busting at the seams you don't have enough chain-link fence so bear to hold that [Applause] this telecast is presented by authority of the National Football League and is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the expressed written consent of the Cleveland Browns and the National Football League is prohibited I have a gun horse race Cleveland takes the football 80 yards for the touchdown after the Cowboys had driven to the 31 yard line and again decided the punt instead will go for the field goal the momentum shifted at that point no dad at that point they take it down there they get two big plays out of Bernie Kosar Fontenot Fez has to keep it that way 9 plays it took to cover the 80 yards at over 4 minutes the youth on the clock and they do it with that underneath position type passing an a look for those big plays they run the ball in the middle they're going to get there is what we've been saying is they've got to protect Bernie Kosar get him in some kind of rhythm of throwing those short things what he's doing right now and that's where their success lies and of course the interference call didn't hurt anything while the birds are heading south now the question is are the Cowboys after that drive-by Cleveland will they respond take it to an 11 ballclub is trouble they react to it Barr's kickbox [Applause] and annals of field and it's Herman Fontenot who just scored the touchdown for the Browns now he's on his feet with the help of a couple of teammates and he'll walk off the field there's the drive for the Browns now puts the back in front 1714 with 1450 Bernie Kosar is 17 of 24 [Applause] first down play-action fake the lure setting up the long pass everett gay the ball strip notes [Applause] well that's what we were talking about earlier you have to have some of your guys step forward you make the [Applause] shoulders to step in there and make something happen [Applause] really nice play the timing is terrific between fall or little play back to hold the line back part of your screen you got to see him coming across right there well through watch Dixon number 29 from behind strips the ball right there makes a big play that's what you have to have about you great players great plays leave one takes over 46 yard line [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Derek to Nelson is a tight end replacing Ozzie Newsome on his play and another flag Falls Dallas has had a penchant for turning it over in the fourth quarter called start prior to the snap number 74 offense still fires down ball Ferren back up the Browns five yards Fonda was shaken up on the kickoff coverage is better the traders they just wrap them up patch him up tape him up with band-aids wherever they need to and get back out there and get it done it's an important part of the year we need everybody to embellish that point Kenny Dallas is -11 now on the season in the takeaway giveaway ratio [Music] [Applause] almost intercepted batted in the air and Ron Burke couldn't quite get there fast enough was a lot of pressure and Bernie Kosar does a good job he dodges a bullet by not throwing the interception and just gets rid of the ball but he takes a big chance right here there's the heavy pressure from the right side he ducks under it buys some time and then takes a chance right there of throwing the ball up in the middle the heaters always drop in second down [Applause] passes caught the reception [Applause] Eugene Lockhart was defending [Applause] personal foul Roughness number 50 we got to hit the machine on the tail end of that play hitting machine got a little overzealous but here's where Aussie Newsom is really important because of his experience he knows where those linebackers are well Eugene Lockhart's go let him know [Applause] sits down knows when to go when siding player to watch play they use his experience I called out a spear with you without very good call 14 minutes and 10 seconds left mozzie has 30 receptions now all 11 seasons his career after that reception voice 36 six yard gain stop by Everson walls [Applause] and Cleveland leading 17 the 14 and driving again Giants now just putting it away against Phoenix as we check the sports wire Philadelphia again right at the top of the NFC East and trying to continue on and eliminate the Redskins from the playoff picture the Redskins lose today they'll be encounter the seventh Superbowl champion to fail to make the playoffs the following year [Applause] whistle plays rule dead I believe the town clock expired a delay of game coming up against Cleveland Aleya game prior to the snap offense snake when you guys beat Minnesota 32 to 14 in the Super Bowl January of 77 how did you guys come back the next year we played pretty well as a matter of fact we went all the way to the championship game in Denver I think Denver won the division or our better record the median we had to go to Denver and play in the championship game and they beat us a lot of people think that Rob Lydell Mayo fumble late in the game and was not called and as a result we didn't repeat [Applause] John Madden's favorite [Applause] second Browns one handed catch in a touch weathers with the touchdown and Cleveland storms ahead by with the extra point to come what a beautiful one-handed grab by Clarence weathers and it's his first touchdown of the season well there's a choreographed celebration right there you get a shot of it he was a great character nonchalantly throws a hand out costar puts the ball right on the money weathers does a job on Robert Williams he's beating him like a drum maybe he sticks out too one hand and then the celebration starts extra point by far it's good and it's a 10-point lead that ball stuck on his hand like Freddy Biletnikoff used to catch him nothin to it his hoho it's a 10-point lead for the Browns with 13 minutes left in the contest [Applause] [Music] well it's Cleveland now with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to take a 10-point lead the summary Coase our three touchdown passes over 300 yards for the contest the Cowboys have been flagged 12 times and Cleveland leads and total yards for the important thing of course they lead on the scoreboard 24 to 14 what's happened here in the fourth quarter well you have to have great plays out of your great players and handford dicks and ships a ball on the obvious first down by Dallas and then to give the offense the ball Bernie Kosar makes it big plays but you have to have like I said plays out of your people and that they're making them here's an example of it right here he throws a ball out weathers goes and gets it he's beating his guy extremely the five or six yards and makes the one hander you have to have those kind of plays if you're going to keep advancing [Applause] two touchdowns in a two-minute span for Cleveland ten point lead now with team in its left plaque makes the flag is down 40 brought down at the 42-yard line of black however is on the ground at the 26 yard line Brian Washington made the tackle of Darrell clack weathers in langhorne they each have scored touchdowns today on big plays but weathers catch is a memorable one yeah what's a look back at for a long time that's a highlight film catch the penalty against Alice [Applause] during the return receiving team first day Steve the ASEAN this one snake lady 55 right there in front of you number 24 obvious obvious infraction hitting him from the Cowboys start to drive at the 16-yard line [Applause] [Music] Hershel Walker at the 20 [Applause] he gets into the secondary helix right Bryan Washington stopped him and he broken one more tackle Herschel Walker may have made that an 84 yard run that puts Walker very close to the hundred yard mark in fact let's give it to him there's 100 yards of the day for Herschel Walker 18 carries 100 yards his fourth hundred yard effort of the season [Applause] first intent for the Cowboys for the third [Applause] he scoots ahead for four yards Mike Johnson makes the tackle Danny white right by Landry side final score New England over Seattle the Patriots another one of those teams that hovering around that mark that Cleveland's looking at our wildcard playoff spots costly lost for Seattle as where is the West picture [Music] [Applause] whatever aqui here's the pass Martin hands it outside the 40 43 yard line flagged down at midfield [Applause] [Music] Martin had enough for the first down for the Cowboys Cleveland player now clapping his hands indicating it might be against the Cowboys illegal hands to face number 29 defense penalty to car first an and for Dixon that one's against the Browns and some first down for the Cowboys still a lot of time left here snake 11 minutes and 14 seconds remaining awful lot of time down by 10 but yeah I think you have to consider the time and I think the running game with Herschel Walker I think they're gonna have to throw the ball they've been successful throwing the ball but they have turned it over after the catches art to the right Walker gets the pitch left is wrapped up by Clay Matthews flamin uses playing today with a broken right hand suffered last week against the Redskins you know this time of year Jim everybody's banged up and beat up out there you've got nicks every imaginable kind of injury from knees to shoulders to hands to arms and all the players know how important it is at this point in time to be able to go out there and play while you're hurt and guys like this a play for an awful long time they are able to play hurt play Matthews [Applause] inside Cleveland territory a first down good piece of running for the tight end he just ran over Frank Minnifield and picked up the Dallas first down [Applause] gain of 12 on the play Dallas now started at its own 16 they've advanced it to the Cleveland 46 ten minutes seven seconds left in the game the clock is running [Applause] day to the left for the lone setback [Music] the Walker knocked out of bounds by felix rights first down to the cowboys after the big gainer gain of 20 yards by Walker Jim watch the motion man's block there's the motion man right there going in motion across the formation watch his block yet going to be able to see it he kicks out right there on number 57 Matthews which enables Walker to cut behind him nice job of blocking by Chandler thought 21 Russia's 124 yards or Herschel Walker [Applause] for a two-yard loss Derrel Sims Sims a former first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers out of Wisconsin and then Pittsburgh gave up on him he was waived picked up by this Cleveland team last year during the strike now he's found a home back in a Bob goen that nose tackle call it a loss of three on the play second at 13 [Applause] the lures Rose for mark [Music] over his head incomplete dangerous past for a moment Mike Johnson was in the area [Applause] and at this point down 10 you get the Cowboys you got to put at least three on the board indeed a score you need to score the catch back you got to come out of here with something they've got good field position down here a third down awfully big play right here but lucky say they have to come out of here with some points because you have to look at the clock and time is starting to be their enemy next Sunday doubleheader here on CBS cowboys and Redskins Detroit [Applause] 30 gets it underway the seats and the boarding at our next Sunday four receivers for the the past the March first down down first down at the 12 yard line that was Michael Irvin helping Martin get on his feet Martin with the reception a gain of 12 yards the job Bob Kahlua delivering the ball he's been doing it all afternoon under extreme pressure you see people in his face throws a ball on the outside you have to keep this dro on the outside low and outside exactly where he throws it they're in business so the Cowboys first and ten from the [Applause] to the left inside the five and near the first down pickup of 10 on the play by Hershel Walker how about the hole up the middle on this one snake you bet right there you're going to see the hole right in the middle of the screen right here a huge hole there comes Hershel Walker from the left there's the hole right there behind Nate Newton and once he gets up a head of steam here's what you got to deal with extremely strong durable back Felix right finally tackled them at the four it's second and one for the Cowboys Walker has 101 yards rushing more yards rushing into the Cleveland team [Applause] our clears the way there walks in touchdown Cowboys block by Todd foul Fowler nice block by Nate Newton the left guard also [Applause] got a hand it to the Cowboys they really respond to driving 84 yards right after Cleveland has back-to-back touchdown watch the block over in this area right there Jim you go to see a nice block as you said by follow the motion man right there there's a block there's Nate Newton number 61 who hits number 51 he knocks the linebacker Andy Johnson out of the way and Walker walks him seven minutes and 20 seconds left in the contest you think a team like Dallas [Music] they got too much pride dealer tradition behind this team [Applause] sales and see where they stand with his team here playing for the role we'll spoiler they're playing for their jobs next year so we got a horse race we do indeed 24:21 Cleveland's ten-point lead is trimmed to three

playoff lives that's next with seven minutes and 20 seconds remaining Cleveland with a three point lead over the Cowboys the sod squad sod spot out there and force you know they call this in polo stomping out the divots they do that at halftime after three chuckers looks like where I've been swinging a 9-iron this is what the golf course looks like after you're done with a mess your name just went on the list can't heat it out of my shadow keep them off the grounds I know better than that you're trying to set me up for some shots look at the scoring drive by the Cowboys cannot emphasize enough the Cowboys responding after the Cleveland team had scored two touchdowns at a two-minute span and Dallas driving 84 yards contest Stephan brags joins when the back to receive the kick of music pick [Applause] maybe Hendrix makes the tackle for the Danny Hendricks may have saved the day for the Cowboys for the moment Manny Hendricks the former basketball player out of the University of Utah and now is a backup cornerback for the Cowboys almost breaks is that what this does he give some good field position it gets out where they can use a higher percentage of their offense out around the 40-yard line but Cleveland would like to do of course is to maintain control the ball and they would like to get some first downs they'd like to do it running to keep the clock going I've got their duo in the backfield finer and Mack field position to start out goes out-of-bounds and loses yardage Kenny well you see me put in the home what a quarterback might say to a guy if you've got an outside run call if you've got something on the outside you might say to the back look at him and say hey listen if you can over there near the sidelines just get down stay in bounds and let the clock spin finally lost two yards and he stopped the clock seven minutes and four seconds remaining forty-niners have beaten atlanta remember the falcons had upset the 49ers out on the west coast earlier this year 49ers play an extremely wale Adam not too long ago Montana's back fairly healthy Jerry Rice's ankle is much better and they're playing with Colts advanced to eight and six [Applause] by Kevin Brooks that's the fourth sack of the day for the Dallas defense well they flush him out of there they had six against them last week against Washington they forced him out this time and get the sack which puts the offense enough in a tough hole there's a pressure right up the middle this Lockhart the middle linebacker number 56 and once you get Bernie running around with the ball you got anymore you want him Brooks has been struggling with a jammed neck [Applause] is a pain in the neck on that play for Bernie Kosar I'll tell you that well they got the field position up around the 40 on the kickoff return and they've wasted that now they look third and 24 receivers in the game for the browns [Applause] Kosar is caved in around the 20-yard line that offensive series for the Browns netted a - 19 yards three plays they lost yards on all three plays that's where it's going to come from right there Danny Noonan number 73 he's gonna beat number 77 Ricky Bolan right there there he is all over him not a chance Danny Noonan in the footsteps of Randy white footsteps of Bob Lilley these thinking will be a good long-term tiger away to kill the mark I'm going to try the right side [Applause] 10-yard return mark Harper on the tackle Cowboys have the football and the momentum with six minutes and ten seconds remaining [Music] Jim Nantz along with Ken Stabler from Cleveland Stadium Browns lead the Cowboys by a field goal Cowboys drove 84 yards last time they had the football Walker scoring the touchdown Herschel has 24 carries for a hundred and thirty-four yards that is the best performance by a running back against the Browns this year Eric Dickerson has the previous best outing of 117 yards this Cleveland defense right third in the nation in the AFC dogs got a dig in here [Applause] Arland Jones out of central state makes the tackle [Applause] under six minutes well here's where the ears where it all happens is right up there they're the ones they have to stop the run when it's passing downs they've got to apply the pressure right there you see go extending up the center stringing things out chasing it from the backside number 51 Johnson defense got a dig in right here in stop Pulu er sends Everett gay to the right side Martin to the left [Applause] slant pattern ever gave to the 41-yard line as he broke the first tackle he was dangerously close from taking it all the way it was one defender back there after the 14-yard pickup luck inaudible situation will pool or just stands up and sees that room out there and takes it delivers a ball right on time nice job of pool or watching hesitate right there he hesitates gives his receiver time to get into position get his body between the ball and the defender nice play every gay has had a big afternoon for the Cowboys for 62 yards on the carry good defensive play by Cleveland and Michael Dean Perry what do you think of the rookie out of Clemson Perry everyone knows he's the fridges brother well he's playing better than the fridge at this point in time he has more sacks in frigerator right now his property playing better refrigerator his head to head the weight problem he's had two broken arm and I think his brother had just been healthier than the refrigerator has Michael Dean has more sacks this is rookie season [Applause] never had that many sex in the season with a small appliance yes he is [Applause] Black's everywhere [Applause] three minutes 56 seconds on the clock just inside of four minutes both start prior to the snap Dallas now will face a second and seventeen Dallas remember now has only two timeouts remaining they used a timeout on their first series of the second half there has a brain there's the brain trust Kevin Sweeney that his shot started to get too extremely tough team started against Cincinnati was mugged against Minnesota I felt sorry for him in the game [Applause] at Fresno State 14 penalties on Dallas today for a hundred and twenty-two yards 3:38 the car the game second and seven near the 40-yard line [Applause] stopping the clock with 326 on the clock Kenny working the heisman show yesterday in New York had a chance to talk to Troy Aikman the man who has been the center of discussion amongst so many of the Dallas Cowboys fans and he told me that he's trying his best not to pay too much attention to the standings but he would admit he was to play for Dallas he grew up for a large part of his life Henrietta Oklahoma only [Applause] Barry Sanders the he had another big night last night over 200 [Applause] first downs he tucked to the way early he saw the opening wine up the middle Kenny let us hard to tell whether it was zone or man-to-man this can happen against either defense he takes advantage of it watch the linebackers right here watch these linebackers let's see what they do if they stay on the man it's a man-to-man if they back out it's man-to-man see number 56 up there taking his man the reason is nobody back there they've all run off covering their people he takes advantage of it knows where the stick is slides in there for the first down Valis had faced second and 17 they worked their way back to get the first down Kahlua is not afraid to run it he is the second-leading boys over 200 yards on the [Applause] Black's lies the Cowboys are going to be hit with a delay of game penalty I hate to be redundant but it seems like the Cowboys once they are successful on a play they become a little confused they just have no continuity a no rhythm to their offense because of the penalties I'm not sure well how many it's been it's been 14 or 15 penalty to spend 15 penalties for 120 something yards and you can't get any kind of continuity to your offense they make a big play penalize himself they make a play penalize himself and as a result they've got over 400 yards in offense [Music] [Applause] that's the top effort against this Cleveland deep first and 15 2:33 the lone setback play-action fake the Walker Tallulah will tuck it in again gets back the yardage from the penalty in a couple of yards more 7-yard gain by pole or ball at the 26 of Cleveland and that brings us to the two-minute warning the two-minute warning Cleveland leading by three with Dallas driving considered right here Jim as this comes down to a field goal look at the field conditions out there starting to get loose sloppy little soggy the ball will be snapped it will be placed seven yards back from where the ball is and if you look where the huddle is out there if we can get a shot of where the hug is located that's about where the ball will be snapped to see all the mud around there by the effective that is exactly the place where Roos locked in the first corner [Applause] shuffle past the Walker the 21-year live tripped up I will Hill [Applause] well it's a little shuffle pass they tried it a couple of times earlier in the game it's designed to look like the past there's a little shuffle to Walker up there number 35 heel reads the play comes up and makes it and they get a timeout called by Cleveland Cleveland calls the timeout not the cowboy so each team has two timeouts remaining Roger ruzek waiting in the wings to perhaps send this game into overtime where's Cleveland still have a lot of time left on the clock third down facing the Cowboys let's tell you tonight on CBS Kenny Stabler you talk about your flamboyant billionaires you ain't seen nothin till you need robert maxwell tonight on 60 minutes look forward to that followed by Murder She Wrote with a comma yes then it's a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation graham greene's the tenth man starring Anthony Hopkins that's all tonight on CBS great Lando third and four for the Cowboys the 22-yard line of the 47 remain [Applause] what do you think they'll do Kenny I think they have to throw the ball lack is in the game unless they unless they decide to play to the Levantine they just beat the down clock the lures pass incomplete intended for Telemark again Dallas was disoriented on a key play there was less than a second on the down clock when the ball was snapped they could've ill afford it in another five yards to back him up for the field goal attempt Roger ruzek will come out now with an attempt to tie the game well he has something working there and I think a little better throw you know he's throwing under duress and pressure to a better throw and they've got the first down but here's what we were talking about right here we'll be a 40-yard attempt on his career in the fourth quarter [Applause] ruzek's kick is on the way and it barely and it is good there is a flag down [Applause] it's against the Cowboys Kenny he did not clear the crossbar by much 9 if they assessed the penalty dead-ball barely made it over as you say [Applause] tripping number of 54 offense still 4th down those against Randy tough break here's a shot of it right here you can see the ball coming through the air through the upright is hard to see the dripping from that particular angle but this ball barely makes it in but it is in this makes it now a 50-yard attempt for ruzek and the Cowboys are screaming on the sidelines they're trying to get the officials attention the yard attempt or the sideline see 50 yard attempt Eruzione but it is short Roger ruzek had been successful on a field goal in the first quarter it was taken away by penalty his second one was blocked same thing happens now with the game on the line of the fourth quarter look at the Cowboys trying to get a timeout on the sideline well they're trying to get it called and why they want to get it called who knows maybe they want to try MIT they may fake it they may think this is a little bit out of his distance they want to get they want to get their heads together over on the sidelines and come up with the correct thing to do but they don't get it stopped here's a reaction the penalty awfully costly you hate to see it from a great player like Randy white but it's been there's the difference right now and that sums up not only today but the year for the Cowboys that's the way it has gone the carry loses yardage and immediately a timeout is called this man is destined for the Hall of Fame nine-time Pro Bowler Randy white who was flagged for Dallas's 16th penalty of the day and a one that wiped off a tying field goal from the board well you know he knows exactly what the situation is and as I said earlier you hate to see it from a god has been through as much as randy weisz been through he's a terrific player an all-pro player a great player like he said destined for the Hall of Fame and board to be assessed against him you really have to feel for him he knows how much it cost him 1:25 left on the game clock and a Cowboys have one timeout remaining let's check out the scores the Giants Bob Phoenix 44 to 7 Cincinnati assures itself now at least a wild-card berth but even bigger news for the Bengals Buffalo lost today and now Buffalo and Cincinnati have the best records they are tied for the best record in the AFC and Cincinnati if it ended up that way would have the home-field advantage through the playoffs because they beat the bills last week big upset today Tampa Bay over Buffalo second and 13 for the Browns [Applause] again no gain at all on the play that's the final timeout for Dallas 121 left in the game [Applause] Cowboys have no timeouts remaining 121 left if they stop Cleveland on this play they'll still their hands on the football for one last crack [Applause] [Music] Bernie Kosar the brownness is trying to hold on now at the moment [Music] 24:21 the Browns trying to advance to nine and five [Music] well he has to be awfully happy right there are Bodell the owner of the Cleveland Browns they've been so close in the last couple of years they had the fumble by Ernest Byner against Denver they almost they've been so close so close and after being here this week and seeing what a nice man he is you have to you have to be real happy for their success [Applause] with some results already in New England having won Indianapolis having won those are teams right on the heels of the Browns with records in the AFC wild card chase Colts winning down in Miami 3128 Patriots winning at home the Seahawks you know you get in this situation right here you might say listen protect the ball they're gonna try to strip the ball and get them all protected two hands on it just like that right there don't fumble and a late flag [Applause] when they have jumped from Dallas but the flag had not come down till the end of the play from the line judge [Applause] the late flag but it's going to be offsides which occurred at the start of the play someone jump from my Cowboys defense still third down we'll be number 17 of the day against Alice 116 left on the game third and seven for the Browns stay on the ground here or just go for one last first down to isit I don't think there's any doubt about it I think you run the ball right here 115 116 left Dallas is out of timeouts I don't think you risk throwing the ball here but I never know what Bernie Kosar they brought in the NOAA and there's a full bag there certainly in a running tight formation they are everyone inside except the landlord he imposes his fine or the tailback gets the carry he's short of the first down 38 yard line after a short gain tackled by too tall Jones and Kevin Brooks you throw the ball let situation and if you have an incomplete pass it's going to stop the clock in this particular situation you run the ball and when you change possessions like this the clock is go continue to run which works in favor of course Cleveland there is a 19 second difference on the down clock to the Gamecocks means the Cowboys will get the football with less than 20 seconds remaining and no timeouts the Browns will just stand back and probably take the five-yard penalty [Music] [Applause] Browns next week will be playing at Miami [Music] and the Cowboys are if Washington one second and the down clock expires 20 seconds is the difference 20 seconds left on the game clock [Applause] [Applause] Kelvin Martin is the punt returner for the Cowboys and I would anticipate but they will be trying their best to storm through and get a block with no timeouts left on the clock they have to do something in a hurry here no doubt there they are they're all up there except for the pump returning to cover guys on the outside what we have to have here is we have to have the good snap from the center feel the ball by the kicker get the ball away and what's on your side max run occur is the punter it's a line drive tick away Martin lets it bounce now picks it up the try the left side and he does at the 31-yard line with ten seconds left snap was a little bit high but the punter field of it in that particular situation the punters not looking for that hi long spiral perfect kick just get the ball out of there ten seconds remaining and Dallas has no timeouts remaining that is really not much you can do in this particular situation at the Dallas Cowboys on offense what are you trying it was only ten seconds left he used routes where your receivers are on the move crossing tight routes with a break a tackle they have an opportunity to score I'll throw the ball down the field and hope for a great catch hope for an interference call a lot of different ways you can go Everage a Calvin Martin Cornell verbage the game [Applause] this will pick up very little yard three seconds a flag down at midfield what do you think that is kidding well you may have an interference call or something on one of the corner backs to hit incomplete because the receiver came in from out of bounds and puff football as I said as I say it out of balance and came back in [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now just one last way well all we can do here Jim is just throw the ball up the Hail Mary type thing and hope something miraculous happens and that's the only thing though one last shot they put all their guys are once add all their speed people out to one side throw the ball up hope you can get a tip of some kind [Applause] various floors Alexander in the area while falls to the ground incomplete the game is over and the Cleveland Browns of Marty Schottenheimer advanced to nine and five on the season which ties the all-time franchise record from the expansion season of 1960 they really dodged a bullet Jim when I get the penalty down there on the field goal that was successful with droste probably throws a game into overtime they dodged a bullet and they're still alive to fight you
