1988 Week 12 - Philadelphia at N.Y. Giants

in their first beating the giants couldn't quite knock randall cunningham off his feet but this afternoon both teams will try to maintain a foothold in the nfc east race for the 108th time in this long and storied series between these two teams the nfc east looks like this the giants at seven and four tied with the cardinals who are losing that game's not over in houston yet that's the score however with three and a half minutes approximately remaining houston leading 38 to 20. so it looks like the giants have a chance to take over first place again all by themselves i'm pat summerall here with john madden you look at the philadelphia eagles john and the name of randall cunningham comes immediately to mind it's hard to believe one guy does so much well that's what i thought you know we go we talk to giant players and coaches and they all say we have to contain we have to stop randall cunningham and you say well geez it's a team game one guy really can't be that big but when you look at what randall cunningham does for this offense you can see it here if you look at his passing here 72 percent of their offense comes from randall cunningham passing 11 comes from him running himself in fact he's the leading rusher on the team 17 for all the others so randall cunningham is 83 of their offense so i think for philadelphia to do well randall cunningham has to have a big day for the giants to do well they have to be able to control this guy john i think one thing we have to address it's been raining all day long here in new york and in the meadowlands very hard early this morning it slacks off and then it starts back again it's hammering down right now what kind of an effect is that gonna have well the first thing you think of when you see a rainy day is you have to be able to run and you realize that neither one of these teams are good running teams so then you say who can handle a wet football the best and i think that's what it's going to boil down to i think they're both going to try and run i don't think either one would be successful i know that the giants are really fired up they just had a meeting of yelling and screaming in the locker room harry carson told me it was george martin who started it and harry said he has never heard a meeting like george martin just conducted in a giant locker room george martin who is a veteran and probably playing his last year with the giants made such a great contribution in this area as well as to the football team giants have won the toss and the eagles luis zumdejas will kick off [Applause] [Applause] the giant quarterback as has been the case for so many many years now facing this front four reggie white mike pitts jerome brown and clyde simmons up front seth joyner mike reichenbach todd bell the linebackers and in the secondary royale young and eric allen the rookie the cornerback wes hopkins and andre waters a couple of hitters at safety you know what happened pat all the power went off here in the stadium as you look up at the scoreboards there's no light whatsoever nor are there any clocks all the school boards are out the time will be kept on the field by the line judge time will be kept on the field you just heard that announcement from tom dooley the 32nd clock apparently is the only one that's working but none of the scoreboard clocks nor the yardage markers nor game time are in operation the lights are still on and that's lucky they'd have to stop play if they weren't defeated no more left side for a game of about six frankenbacher tripped him up with west hopkins here is the offense for the giants sims the quarterback joe morris who just carried and maurice carthage the rudders emanuel and baker the wide receivers and mark bavaro the tight end up front it's robert's aard oats eric moore and doug reisenberg a very young offensive line particularly in three spots jerome brown made the stop it should be enough for a first down and it is for the giants yeah that's a good way to start off when you're fired up is bring your team out and start running start running right at them let your offensive lineman you just been in the locker room you have this big fiery clock you come out the guys are all fired up they want to hit someone or something let them take off and let them have some run blocks [Applause] and replace morris maurice carthage [Applause] let's watch reggie white here pat we know that he is probably the best pass rusher in the league eisenberg is starting his first year so they're not going to let him take him by himself they keep mark favaro in there the tight end to help doug reisenberg block against him reggie white is double just about every passing play he's in there second ken adams and carthage in the handoff right at the line of scrimmage in fact buddy ryan calls him rock combat and i'll tell you you can see why he came in there he has that look in his eyes doesn't he well buddy ryan has that same look i guess he was a linebacker but he comes in there he reads run he's going to rock him right back where they came from well he's lucky that buddy ryan knows his name because he usually just calls guys by numbers [Music] knocked him out of bounds in about the two [Applause] seth joyner got the juggling interception and brought it back 29 yards first and gold eagles sir buddy ryan said last night that that if seth joiner ever got on a winning team he'll be all pro he feels he's one of the best linebackers in the league i'll tell you right there that was a heck of a fool there not only to get out there in the flat on his own he was doubling to get out there in the flat but then to tip that ball and then catch it and then get it down to the two yard line first three [Applause] in place of tony was back with buyers gary reasons made the stop harry carson as you probably know by now underwent arthroscopic surgery friday and he's been put on the injured reserve list so he's out for four weeks i'll tell you that's something that the eagles haven't really gotten off to a good start you can see by that graphic and that was one of the things that buddy ryan taught him well don't worry about that in 60 minutes if we don't start off who will play foot in second quarter and second half myers is the deep back [Applause] flag says i'm sure now the scoreboards are back in operation 11 57 left to play in the first quarter the penalty is going to be against the giants about a half yard they're so close and the rain continues i think that's one of the things when you see in a big rivalry game because both of these teams are fighting for their playoff lives and i think you get a big emotional game a rivalry game and i think you're going to see things on a rainy day like turnovers down here jumping outside cunningham no signal as yet as he ran the quarterback sneak and apparently [Music] [Applause] one thing about randall cunningham he only weighs about 200 pounds he does have that leaping ability and the ability to slither now again it's not where his head is it's where the ball is and that looks awfully close because all that fall has to do is touch that goal line at any point it is awfully close the end of the ball is almost touching the goal cunningham drives the quarterback sneak again and this time it's touchdown the ball across the plane he got in but barely [Music] gary carson was just up here in the in the booth before the game i said how's laurence taylor he said i'll tell you he's ready to play he's in the locker room he is really fired up today he didn't want him to have that touch down there he still doesn't think they made it very unhappy taylor sprints off the field got off in time [Music] the extra point buys and day tells it and it's seven nothing quickly in favor of the eagles with 11 16 left to play in the first quarter at rainey giants stadium [Music] 11 16 left to play at giant stadium zendejas is set to kick it off and finally they're going to give him something to kick like a ball that helps i'll tell you that first kickoff that they had really uh excited this place both teams come out here all fired up and uh it knocked the scoreboard lights right out this house could do it again boom the whole joint goes down [Music] lets it bounce in the end zone and finally falls on it and [Applause] [Music] we have a new thing now that we can run this back and forth but look here i don't think cunningham got over watch the ball i don't think the ball ever crosses the plane but you know the interesting thing watch where the ball is before it snapped part of the ball was on the goal line it broke the plane before it was snapped and i don't think cunningham got in and that's what lawrence taylor was so excited about that device that new device by the way is something that coaches use when they review the coaching films during the week so they can run it back and forth of course guy fans [Music] let's watch lawrence taylor again on this goal line play watch him where he makes a hit and then he's going to say he's going to get up like that or he gets up he writes right to the official you know i think he was right that's called in your face never the last seven nothing here says back to throw under pressure but the pass is complete brought by baker cincinnati over dallas in the third quarter cleveland beating pittsburgh our beat pittsburgh at the final buffalo and the jets in overtime tied at six in the rain in buffalo minnesota 12-3 there's over tampa bay and detroit under their new coach wayne fonts beating green bay [Music] [Applause] raiders and falcons nothing nothing first in the coliseum second and nine here with the eagles leading the giant seven nothing and just over ten minutes left to play in the first quarter the rain comes a little bit harder that's possible and the biggest job today to make this a real football game is the officials keeping the footballs right daniel sims draws away mars outside the 35 to about the 37 picked up four stopped by seth joyner this is one of the things that the giants think that they can do successfully and that's run knows delay or draw play said last week the steelers had a lot of success against the eagles with draw plays and and the giants were hoping that they could today and that gives you two things one it gives you a little run and two it calms down that pass rush a little third down [Applause] they got the eagles blitzing their two safety men stacy robinson 62 yards from sims stacy's first reception of the year as you said matt that's one thing about that buddy ryan defense it's the all or none they came into blitz they came at an all out blitz if you get the time like sims did and you can find a guy open you're going to get big plays mcfadden for the extra point the x eagle with jeff i stepler hoving [Music] [Applause] 7-7 tie at giant stadium with 8 57 left to play in the first quarter 7-7 at giant stadium the eagles and the giants 8 57 left that's the story of the scoring drive five plays 80 yards 62-yard touchdown pass from phil sims to robinson mcfadden set to kick it off the eagles have an interesting return team pat they had 12 guys out there i i just see michael haddocks just ran off the field but they were in the old 5-3 [Music] [Applause] adrian white made the stop john let's watch it here pat we see here what we're gonna get here is the two safeties coming up the middle now the giants do a good job of picking them up see here's what sims boom boom boom flap the whole thing now here comes robinson underneath touchdown i'll tell you that was something eric everett was the guy man-to-man on him but the big thing was a protection and picking up that blitz along with reggie white friesenberg did a heck of a job at picking up chris carter's foot wide right ron johnson is to the left [Applause] [Music] bring up fire excuse me you know keith byers is he is a guy who when the eagles got him and buddy ryan got him they really expected a lot of them and it's kind of been disappointing as a a runner but he's been a real good receiver for him [Applause] [Music] two tight ends for the angels this time right side for a couple maybe three jim burton was the first man to hit him i think jim burt was saying yesterday he says we're at a crossroads here he says we have to put up or shut up he said to stop looking for big plays and start making them that's the way a nose tackle clocks you know like put up or shut up get down here spread your six from your four and get entrenches and go after it man he's been replaced by eric howard down cunningham he's close to a first down gain of four it's going to be a measure i would imagine reasons on the stop randall cunningham last time they played the giant snap monday night game through 41 times he was 31 for 41 and he says you know today he said i'd like to get a little running going he said i don't like to throw 41 times but if we have to if that's what it takes to beat him what the heck will go out and do that too but i've always said the best friend a quarterback has is a running game first down well it takes a lot of the heat off of them that was on october the 10th on a monday night against the giants 31 out of 41 his career high three touchdowns no interceptions and 369 yards but if you're looking for the utopian situation to a quarterback that's not it fires a split wide left for this time as cunningham goes back to thoroughly gets it outside keith jackson is rookie tight end who's the nfl's leading receiver their first round draft choice and he is everything they expected he would be you know he's very well going to be the rookie of the year and probably the pro bowl tight end he's a big guy weighs 250 pounds runs like a 4-5-40 he said his biggest adjustment he has is reading coverage he said block it's flocking he said those zones drive me crazy i'm still not sure what they're doing second and seven from the 31. finally got control and picked up four yards stopped by the banks that's the final houston 38 phoenix 20. and so now the cardinals are seven and five philadelphia can tie them with a victory today and the giants can move a game ahead you know it'd be interesting if the eagles win today and the redskins win tomorrow night there could be four teams tied for first place in this division of course if the giants win then they'll be in first place all by themselves third and four from a 34. [Applause] cunningham for jackson got a hand on it incomplete they have to punch carl banks was nearest to jackson that's the kind of match-up they hoped for i'll tell you lawrence taylor watch him right here he was awfully close to randall cunningham mike matt darwin has blocked him there but watch him he looks like his right shoulder's okay today tailor it he's right there and just hitting away right as cunningham through it that's a good pass rush when you can be on him as he froze it tells you to punt for philadelphia back deep and here is on the run kicking and not bad he got a high snap and got off a pretty good kick after prancing around for a while so with 5 37 left to play first quarter 41 yard putt after all that and the score tied at seven give a play here john well the uh john telchick does does a couple of things right here one watch the catch he has to jump up makes a one-handed catch then run towards right he's had three blocked all year this year he leads a league in that department and that was a great athletic move you know that guy was all madden last year and with that type of play he may make it again this year would remind you of that great one-handed stab that grey guy made in the super bowl in tampa and beat ahead for three reggie white played that excellent you know the the thing that a defensive lineman has to do is just get up there and if you see it's a faster start than when you redraw stop the fast road it doesn't work again it was reggie white who cut him down no game [Music] no huddle again third six [Applause] yards wes hopkins stop tomorrow but they'll go in a hurry again this is a guy that the eagle defense worries the most about is march mavaro they almost didn't get the change set mars is tripped up by andre waters who came up to make the force after a gate of three and bill parcells just signaled keep going with it don't huddle up just line up we got him going here [Music] who gets it and scrambles for a first down marcel saying let's keep it going mike frankenbot was right there in that play how sims got the ball off was amazing and then how he got it back [Applause] on the stop and again play number six coming up with no huddle buddy ryan you say he has to get his defenses in quicker he has to make his fall one advantage they have is they keep the same 11 guys in there and that's what the giants want them to do adam's in place of horus and he gets the carry and he's tripped up by mike pitts for a loss of four that'll slow him down now that's the thing in fact that did that did end it they were the giants were going towards a record with no huddle in the first quarter and then that loss stopped it because now they get to a third down they want to get the right play the right substitutes in they'll substitute their nickel offense and we'll see stacy robinson coming in and then the eagles will go with their nickel defense third and six at the eagle 44. now things settle down just a little bit sims will operate from the spread robinson and baker split wide left robinson comes in motion [Music] [Applause] over the head of stacy robinson and they're too far for a field goal on the coverage phil sims was upset because stacey robinson had william frazelle beaten in fact he had about five yards on him and all sims had to do is get that ball out there but that i think that that's the type of pass that this rain could be affected because that thing looked like it took off a little longer [Music] back to punt ari buford [Music] toward the end zone and go in there so they'll bring it out to the 20 a 44-yard punt by buford 215 left to play first quarter 7-7 time [Music] that rain continues even harder 215 left with a tie here fourth quarter cincinnati over dallas 38-24 cleveland beat pittsburgh buffalo won in overtime to clinch the afc east earliest that's been done since they moved to a 16-game schedule bears beat tampa bay enjoyed over green bay kansas city upsets seattle boy they've had some problems in kansas city and san diego leaves the rams new orleans shutting out denver over the right side for chris carter covered by sheldon white you know it was interesting that we were watching how the giants are always going to double on reggie white the same thing is happening with lawrence taylor you know they're not letting matt darwin just block him but by himself watch taylor here 56 coming from the outside see darwin block him and then havoc sits right there and waiting for [Music] [Applause] to walter abercrombie played so many years with the steeler [Music] you know i think that's one of the problems that giants are having with their defenses is they're getting big plays against their past defense and you know they're they're having a lot of completion they're getting a lot of runs and not not only that i don't think the safeties have really been tackling though but either one of them had an interception all year and you need some turnovers they need nine for a first down and cunningham rifles in the direction of ron johnson in complete and they'll have to punt again harry williams with good coverage i think wendy cunningham has stayed in the pocket every pass thus far i think that's one of the things the giant defense would like to have continue all day i would think that will change however because he is even more dangerous when he comes out of it and at some point he's going to say hey i'm going to have to take this game over chelsea gets a good snap and gets off a good punch but he will feel it in the 40s makes it safer it'll be about the 41 word giant stadium east rutherford new jersey the eagles and the giants tied at seven pat summerhall john madden in a rainy rainy stadium today 121 left in the first quarter total offense you see it's been dominated by the giants but the big interception led to the eagle touchdown the giants popped it right back but bill simms touchdown [Music] and take it down by mike pitts and hopkins one of the plans the giants have today is put george adams in there because george adams usually goes in on the passing down get adams in there and maybe the eagles would go to their nickel think it's a pass and then they'd be able to run now adams went in there and eagles stated regular defense they didn't make any subs is now the giant tight end up on the left side seems to throw it quickly who gets the midfield stopped by todd bell who is now a linebacker of course when he was with the bears he was a defensive back let's watch reggie white here pat and we'll see he's a power rusher watch he's not going to tell you that what he just goes into reason for boom gets his helmet in that flap you see gets him going back get him off balance then make your move whereas when you have that much power you don't need a lot of food 295 and you're that quick all of those things [Music] seth joyner got the pass interception earlier gets to sims [Applause] this is a guy buddy ryan was talking about he said this guy plays like an all-pro and so far in this first quarter he has he got the interception now he gets the sack that's an all-pro linebacker day that'll get you some post-season pay that's the end of the first quarter with the score of the philadelphia eagle seven the new york giants seven [Music] dealer have you driven a board lately prudential bait security's rock solid market wise and by miller genuine draft cole's filtered craft taste it's as real as it gets miller brewing is the exclusive beer sponsor of today's telecast second quarter coming up tied at seven the eagles and the giants in a game that means so much to both of them giants have a chance to take over first place in the nfc east by themselves the eagles with a victory would tie them as john madden was pointing out before if the redskins could beat san francisco and all of those other things take place it'd be a four-way tie for the league in the nfc rain [Music] [Music] might have sprung a leak [Music] by the eagles hubert didn't have a chance in the eagles jenkins came in iselle jenkins came in on the left side to knock it down beauford never had a chance watch him he's right there he comes all the way from the outside no one touches him but she just runs by everything then he lays out perfect rush perfect timing [Music] well you watch him he's the outside guy in the left-hand side of the screen and nobody picked him up but usually that guy when he's that far out shouldn't be able to get there if the snap and the kick were perfectly huntingham on timed down as the eagles get another turnover pants intended for chris carter incomplete sheldon white will carry canards back there with him you know one thing that when cunningham goes back to pass they're going to take care of taylor the tackle starts on him then he starts on a stunt the guard comes and the guy who finally got him down was the center dave remington but wherever he lawrence baylor goes there's going to be some white jerseys popular second and can taylor this side this time marshall and eric darcy met at the quarterback [Applause] it's been a while it's been a while for leonard marshall we're going to see him coming from that side dorsey coming from the other side marshall takes an outside pass rush and it looked like cunningham had good coverage he had to wait for a while and that allowed dorsey and marshall to get there i think that was part brush and part coverage sack cunningham is only one out of five for three yards [Applause] you talk about some hits out there we're getting them today they're getting the blue jerseys hitting the white jerseys the white jerseys hitting the blue jerseys and the blue jerseys hitting the blue jersey eric howard was in a stunt he's waiting right there they always want to keep him contained you know not let him get outside your run [Applause] he just barely got it away mcconkey signals clear catch him at 20. the eagles wound up with a fourth and 32 after they blocked the punt and looked like they had another turnover that could have put them atop the scoreboard didn't happen 7-7 the score remains [Music] 7-7 but look at the giant domination so far total outfits at the bottom 121 for the giants minus four now for the eagle and of course the reason the uh score is tied is because that interception that uh sims through the seth joyner big play by joyner i think this reign is really affecting the quarterbacks i mean they see him throwing an interception he threw a bad one on third down uh randall cunningham was one for five for three yards 26 yards and sacks that goes back to what we talked about at the beginning and nothing doing jerome brown from the middle of the eagle defense brought it down sorry that was the thing we were talking about that the giants wanted to do is get that delay stuff and it's tough on first down because i think the eagles are playing run on first down anyway i think they're playing for the run they're not going to be rushed to get a delay the [Music] [Applause] next saturday night the nba kicks off on cbs with a rematch of last year's nba finals the brand new palace in auburn hills michigan cbs sports presents prime time the los angeles lakers and the detroit pistons pistons are eight and one in the early going looking to avenge last year's loss in the finals and the lakers of course are again atop the pacific division and planning on repeating next saturday prime time 8 30 east [Applause] [Music] one yard that's the thing you want to do is you want to get the quarterback to have to put the ball down to flush him then get him moving and then have that second wave come in on him the eagles did it perfectly that time beaufort back to punt again [Music] nikki back for the eagles they almost got another one [Music] single fair catches adrian white was looking him right in the face a 44-yard putt and very well done considering these weather conditions hard rain we'll be in detroit after the bus ride from new york for turkey day i'm looking forward to that one me too you know the bus ride the the game detroit minnesota and then the turkey the turkey the night before and then to turkey after we'll have that on the bus carve the turkey we'll have a lot of time to prepare a lot of time to eat first and ten except you don't do that anymore i eat certain [Applause] here's cunningham out of the pocket for fires in complete although he might have come up with one remarkable catch covered by pepper johnson he banted it right-handed into his left hand tell you what unusual and spectacular that catch that catch was a lot like telcek's play on the punt where he jumped up matted it in got it with one hand i'll tell you how he could even see that thing is amazing how he can see around pepper johnson he got that right hand up tipped it brought it back and kept [Music] the oilers in what they call now the astrodome the house of pain won again brown stay in it buffalo they win the afc east title and two here at giant stadium cunningham eagle first down at about the 37 pepper johnson wayne fox gets his first win as the new head coach of the detroit lions kansas city beats seattle and san diego over the rams by ken that's a shocker new orleans keeps looking better and better don't they they sure do they're a very well coached team and looks like to me they're right here they have to be the favorite western division [Applause] led by giles finally stopped by leonard marshall you know it's interesting pat that the giants are playing today without harry carson he had that knee injury and then they he had it scoped on friday they put him on ir he's very upset about that he thought that he probably couldn't play this week but he thought even with it he could have played next week but i'll tell you one and you'd expect him to be down a little bit those things kind of by their team but this defense this half this giant defense looks much more intense than they did a week ago lost three yards harry carson by the way will be our guest on the halftime show today with brent nerve and dick butkus let's watch his defense here and the thing that the giants do so well is they come here and we'll see reasons 55 is going to make the tackle watch the whole group works down down down don't give him anything no cut that see all blue jersey there has no cut back force him right there he had no place to go and that's how you get a loss third and ten the eagles of the giant 38 eric howard is the man in the middle of the giant defense looking right in the face of dave remington [Music] [Applause] a little swinging match at the end of things those third down situations are what killed the giants last week against the cardinals down in phoenix and the way randall cunningham threw that he looked just like joe namath i mean he he looked like a rifle with that thing i mean he sat back there and that thing came out of his arm like it was shot first in canton the ball of the giant hasn't been playing much and of course with anthony tony broke his hand haddock has to play now he's been a little disappointment to this team too he was a number one draft choice and has kind of been a back up and he's a good blocker and he's been kind of there and they pass protection that type of thing but not used much as a runner second and seven ball of the giant 19. seven seven tie scores off again the headaches and this time he's hit right up the line of scrimmage stacked up by eric dorsey he might have lost a yard i'll tell you who does a good job there pat in the middle is jim burt the nose tackle what's your nose tackle there the first thing he has to do is he has to be able to hold that line right there hold that line there now watch him right there see there's no movement there no movement no movement force him in now the other guys can get in there you get five blue jerseys in here they don't have a chance to run inside third down keith jackson the tight end this time in the slot to the right here comes the giant twist intended for chris carter incomplete no flag [Applause] sheldon white that was the guy that cunningham wanted to go to he had chris carter isolated man-to-man under rookie sheldon white and sheldon white had good coverage on that one because he had no help with man-to-man he had to handle that all by himself white replacing mark collins and has thus far done an excellent job from 38 with tail chick holding they do a lot of tricks is good from 38 yards away it didn't look like it you think it should look but it does on the scoreboard for philadelphia they lead by at three all john madden the eagles have just taken the lead after a 38-yard 37-yard field goal by zenteon 10 plays 45 yards we have 746 left to play in the first half at giant stadium blessedly the rain has finally stopped [Music] lugermost and haddocks back deep for the giants and deoz will kick it off [Music] [Applause] [Music] to see this rain stopping i think that both quarterbacks have been affected by it early in the game and uh the walls looked like they were wet early and now they still have the problem because when the center goes up over the ball and he presses down [Applause] [Music] [Applause] knocked out of bounds by andre waters you know it's funny matt here it's been such a tough year for quarterbacks and if we look there's only seven guys in this league of 28 that started every game and of course we have the two of them in this game randall cunningham and phil sims and i think one that's a tribute to them and being able to move and get rid of the fall but i don't think that was maurice carton the ball carrier stopped by mike pitts after a gain of two it'll bring up a third and two situation you know you think you're in the 12th game of the season and there's only seven quarterbacks that have played every game i think these guys i think phil sims i think the reason he plays every game because he gets rid of the ball quickly he is not going to take a sack i think randall cunningham has played every game because he can move and run and get away plus sims is a big strong guy he's going to come out of there [Applause] rams move closer to san diego 17-14 the saints shutting out denver 21-0 and atlanta ahead of the raiders 3-0 they were just talking about phil sims and the reason he didn't move a lot but he does get rid of the ball quickly and now he runs with one and he gets up limping this is a dangerous thing when a guy gets in the open field like that and he gets hit from the front and both sides that's a tough deal first down at the 29. diamonds hit just as he let it go pressure from the outside from clyde simmons [Music] now let's watch clyde simmons he's the guy here now you get these three guys packed in here and simmons gets the big rush from the outside against william roberts see him come from the outside that's just a speed move just gets his hands up there and he gets sims just as he throws it that was a good move by clyde simmons and poor pass protection by william roberts it wasn't a very good effort [Music] jerome brown joe morris got four yards third down and six it'll bring up for a giant stadium in east rutherford new jersey and some are all john madden the eagles feed the giants 10-7 we're in the second quarter with just over five and a half minutes left to play [Applause] [Music] outside stacey robinson who has scored the only giant touchdown and now gets them a first down from sam yeah it looks like phil sims was going to stacy robinson all the way robinson starts he makes a good move see he holds his defender to the inside then he gets him inside bends into him to hold him in there and then pop he breaks to the outside i tell you that was eric everett again everett was the guy that they caught the touchdown pass on and he caught that big first down pass on him there [Applause] [Music] stacey robinson has been around a while four years and the nfl hasn't played that much here's sims tomorrow forest image perhaps you got a yard stopped by klein simmons another one of those delays here wendy i think there's more talking at the at the end of a play than there is during the play but watch mark bavaro block on here he's going to start here now i'll control this see i can stop it run it back and forth super bowl he wants to keep him inside get him inside now you get him now watch he peeks back where is he where is he i have to hold him until he gets beyond me now he's beyond now i can turn up the only thing is [Applause] put the pressure on sims and made him pull it down the first time andre waters is one of those guys that is a all-out player and plays until the whistle blows and once in a while takes a whack after and he's come under some uh criticism from other teams in the league and people doing and things say he's a dirty player and he's a cheap shot and rodney ryan said he's just a quiet guy who plays like that because it's something he's gonna say about him or not i were bill parcells i'd take that pal off i think the towel is more wet than it is wet outside i don't think i've seen parcels looked like that before oh that's an odd odd-looking look for a coach don't forget thanksgiving day on cbs the nfl today is at noon eastern time 12 o'clock and then john mann and i will be in detroit the lions won today under their new coach wayne fonts 19-9 over green bay minnesota also won over indianapolis so they'll both be in a very positive frame of mind and we'll be there thanksgiving day you know that is a big thing too if you have a short week a short week is difficult but i'll guarantee you if you lose it's a heck of a lot shorter than if you win and i think it's a lot easier there's a lot less injuries and it's a lot easier to have a short week coming off a win and it never is the other way it just takes injuries long everything seems longer you know what i mean third and nine eagles showing blitz robinson comes in motions [Applause] [Music] you see 33 coming outside for zell he has him underneath manuel just goes right around frizzell and in front of roy nail young that's the way the eagles double they send one guy out short underneath it to the outside then the other guy deep and that was a perfect pass pattern for that coverage sims tomorrow on first down knock backwards behind the line by seth joyner that's one of the things john and bill marcel said yesterday we have to figure out who they're doubling and in spite of the fact that they doubled lionel manuel he still got the ball in there and got the completion yeah because he ran the perfect pattern for it he ran an in pattern against it and you know you don't have to get away from a guy when he's doubled all the time you can go to him if you have the right pattern if they were running it out to manual there's no way william priscilla would intercept him now second and twelve manual on the move he could go [Applause] and andre waters i think the giants have figured out this defense that back and i think they're figuring the whole to get is to come up here and they give you a hole right in here in the middle now watch as it starts watch how the defense will work to the outside they'll start here now now right here if we stop it here we see the middle and what you have in the middle now as you bring the guy in the middle there's no one there first and 10 and the 10 to about the seven tripped up by hopkins and reichenbach two minute warning will come up the giants have two timeouts remaining plus this one for the two-minute [Music] notification has started again subsided stop back for just a couple of minutes but now it's back second down and sixth they can make the first down without scoring [Applause] here's sam eagle blitz picked up pretty well they intended maurice karthon are in that direction at least mike frankenbach back there with him zeke moat the backup giant tight end is headed for the locker room so that's going to them down in here for two reasons one this is the area that you like to go two tight ends and the other reason is mark navarro is really beating up he got a he has a bad hand he has a bad toe and bill parcell said he wanted to get moat in there more and more now he doesn't have moan emmanuel goes right make her left lamar is the tight end to the right side the eagles lead 5-3 closing second to the first half of the park inside the five to about the fourth stop by hopkins he picked up three that would have been a better second down play i would have thought that maybe you would do that delay thing on second down then if you don't make it go for the third down path the giants did just the opposite morris as you said could have gotten the first down but he's two yards short of the first down 40 yards short of the goal line before the giants are going to kick the field goal mcfadden who's been outstanding since [Music] since he took over the kicking chores for the giants hostetler will be the holder field goal good 10-10 time mcfadden hit from 22 yards away so with the 110 left first half it's 10 a piece but he'll be out for at least four weeks well and he had already announced his retirement that this was going to be his last year and harry carson could very well have played his last game as a giant and go out in a way that he really didn't have in mind he'll be on at the half phantom's kickoff intimidation a weapon it seems like after every play in this first half there's been talking pushing yelling name-calling finger-pointing the giants are going to turn down the penalty and uh excuse me the eagles you're going to turn down the penalty just take the ball up 35 35. that's only the second penalty of the game which in this day and time is remarkable cunningham will operate from the sprint formation [Applause] outside fires fires out of bounds at about the 44-yard line whereas taylor was covering he fired a gain of seven yeah this is the thing that randall cunningham does the best this two-minute drill it's something he takes pride in something he loves and it's not only the two minutes at the end of the game it's also the two minutes of the halftime he saw his mouthpiece here he takes the mouthpiece out to call the play so they can understand him then puts it back in cunningham was saying last night that he has two game plans one the game plan that coaches give him and two his own game plan and he said in his own game plan it's what he's going to do and who he's going to throw to in the two-minute drill [Music] third down situation he faces right down third and seven the eagles falls they're on 42 33 not seven sorry cunningham gets away flag on the play pocket he gets into fire fires will have a first down and four but we'll wait for the penalty hey lawrence taylor was in there lawrence taylor had cunningham how he got out of there i have no idea watch lawrence baylor come from the outside now cunningham not only escaped but escaped to the side taylor was cunningham coming from in fact that's the thing that bill parcells worries him the most he said is his scrambling one but his scrambling to his left he said that's where he's the most dangerous of course i was all academic anyway because the penalty was against the eagles that was their first penalty of the day and so they bring it back by the way the problem with us not being able to hear tom dooley the referee is something wrong with his microphone [Applause] ryan johnson again he was under pressure and couldn't find an open man curry william in a giant secondary good job with covered the giant defense has done a good job this whole half but you should see randall cunningham coming out there i think in this first half they have frustrated him a little the things aren't as easy this time for him as they were the last time when he threw for over 300 yards good kick by talcing at about his own 17-yard line with 36 seconds left 45-yard punch by john tells it don't forget coming up friday live at 2 30 eastern time the alabama crimson tide will be looking to spoil traditional rivals auburn's bid for an sec title and a bid into sugar bowl auburn the best defense in the nation alabama was one of the best defensive players in the nation derek thomas it's the legion field in birmingham the giant fans don't like that see the eagle offensive line they're still meeting over there bill walsh is the offensive line coach of the eagles ces is bad there but he has to have a piece of plastic over it one thing about offensive linemen they're good at reading upside down and reading through class they have to be [Music] that's the end of the first half with the score of the philadelphia eagles 10 the giants cbs sports coverage of the national football league is sponsored by united airlines we dedicated to giving you the service you deserve come fly the friendly skies cooks american champagne since 1859 and by honda maker of the crxsi 1988 motor trend import car of the year they've contained keith jackson and randall cunningham i think that's a big thing that we know that randall cunningham was most dangerous when he's moving and he's only made one yard running and those were those short yardage quarterback stakes that he really hasn't run yet when he's gone back to pass the other thing is you brought up keith jackson the leading receiver in the league only has one pass for first uh first half i think the giant defense done an excellent job of containing that cunningham on first down covered well let's look and see who randall cunningham he's thrown six to the wide receivers but only completed one in fact he just threw one in that last week his best thing has been to the running backs he's completed three of four of the running backs and only one pass to his tight end now of course the tight end has been a big big part of the offense this year second down at 10 the eagles had the ball at their own 34. opening moments of the third quarter busted play and cunningham tried to hand it to someone but there was no one there lost to one lawrence taylor wrapped him up there was no one there to hand it off to and i think the closest two guys were 56 and 58. watch taylor comes right up the middle that time he was lined up on remington he was right there the next guy right over miss carl banks lawrence taylor doesn't just line up on the right defensive side he lines up the right side the left side sometimes over the middle third and eleven this time in the middle and taylor is coming from that right side pass up the middle complete to jackson to the eagles first down in giant territory flynn and canard a pickup of 20 to jackson well those were the two things we were talking about that the eagles have to do one cunningham probably running a little more and two getting the ball to his tight end keith jackson who's been such a big part of the offense this year because i tell you this guy can not only get open cannot only catch but once he catches is a good runner with a ball extremely quick very good at getting away from linebackers taylor was on the left side this time cunningham hits him quite changing pass is incomplete and no penalty marker down chris carter the intended receiver covered and covered well by number 23 perry williams now they really ended up in a double coverage because you'll see terry canard is over there to help williams so he can get up there tight like this get his hands underneath and even if carter gets a little beyond him he can play him from underneath and watch we'll see because right here squeezing it is number 43 terry canard so if you have someone in behind you deep then you can effectively take the underneath or interception angle second and cannon george martin now playing in places of eric darcy and left defensive end for the play full-time not just against the pass that's buyers for no game maybe a yard maybe two and martin on the bottom of the pile a funny thing randall cunningham was saying last night that he really hoped that he could get some running going that it wouldn't have to be a pass pass pass game but the way the giant defense is playing today they're playing the run like they have in the past and anytime you run there they're not giving you many gaps or lanes to run the ball in so it makes it 38 and the giant 45. flags [Applause] somebody on the eagle offensive set moved early and the giants came firing i think it was matt darwin the left back with david alexander the left guard uh billy says false start now you can see you know that's happening more and more with two things that just happened on that play one when you play from the shotgun on the road those are the two toughest things you have to do because the crowd doesn't let you get that good count on third down in fact cunningham's up under the center now no more shotgun cunningham under pressure and down he goes from george martin and lawrence taylor fourth sack today by the defense let's watch the rush here i'll control the register watch george anderson george martin the outside guy that's just a speed rush up the field up the field then he gets here just runs right beyond him and gets cunning here lag back on chelsea as the eagles go down it finally goes out of bounds at about six but tailshake was knocked down and the penalty marker is down backward he hit the turn remember the new rule this year it's not an automatic first down that used to be an automatic first down roughing the punter it's not any longer going to come from the right hand side again it's a high snap deljuk does a good job of getting up the hit comes right after he kicks the ball you see that with tom flint trying to hold him up running into the kicker this is stadium 11 53 left third quarter the lakers pop author on six again the uh john celtic was roughed on that play but because they don't get a first down an automatic first down like it used to be and the punt went out of bounds on the six then the eagles just turned down the roughing penalty or running into the punter penalty and let the giants start out from this position on the field it was running into the punter and that as you say is not an automatic person yeah last year it would have been the first down the eagles could have kept the ball giants have that with phil sims the quarterback to gain faker seven out of bounds eric allen knocked him out well look at what phil sims has done six for ten under ten yards and then in the next area ten to twenty three for four that's where he's had all his passes today that last one was just one of them now he's gone twice to 30 yards over two and he hasn't thrown a pass yet beyond 30 yards i would expect that to change here shortly second and three might change right now if he fixes the [Applause] but over his head that looked like a wet ball throw there and i think so it's either the the ball is bothering these quarterbacks or both defenses are playing much better than they have all year let's watch it here from the ground level and we'll see if the throw does bother sim you know let's just watch it again and see we'll control here and just run it back and forth now it looks like it comes out of there pretty good and then it just takes off on them [Applause] little bit of breathing room morris 16 carries 51 yards [Applause] clutch four right there i think one thing if there's any difference in the giants now and and their super bowl year it's that they just don't run the ball as effectively as they did two years ago you see three new faces in there from two years ago [Applause] [Music] hit first by jerome brown and joined by a lot of his defensive buddies picked up three todd bell with an assist i think the other reason pat is the way the the defenses are playing now and we're getting the eight men up and you just look at this type of thing it's tough to run in here because they cover your center and your guard then they got these two linebackers ready to hit everything and the backers here and you really don't get the open gaps at the three-man line would give you look at all those guys packed in the middle on defense seems to throw it gets it outside forest is going to get another giant first down todd bell finally tripped him up but he got another [Applause] one thing about any buddy ryan defense they all they all pursue well and gang tackle just watch as joe morris caught that wall how many white jerseys were out there to meet him on that short pass that's always been buddy ryan's theory that let him have those little ones so then when they get him just everyone get after him if you're gonna play and play for buddy ryan and expect to stay there you better get angry well that's insane he said his two most important qualities of football player are intelligence and toughness this is adams and carthage [Applause] andre waters was man-to-man on bavaro that's what phil sims is looking for if they leave bavaro man the man that's sims read and that's the guy he's going to go to first and ten giants they're only 41. this drive began way back at the six batted down by jerome brown sims looking in the direction of maurice carthage brown walk it off and shake it off well i'll tell you he got some stuff in that uniform room brown will fill it out you know he's not that tall like some of those guys he's like six foot two 290 pounds in fact he has problem bending over and tie in his shoes that's a real friend you can get a fellow guy hey man i don't want to bend over and tie those things how about tying him for me that's friendship sam's back to throw it up to baker stop by waters but they'll rule the chains again a gain of 17. houston beat phoenix warren moon a big day cincinnati over dallas gizmo in dallas cleveland beat pittsburgh buffalo quenches the afc east arizona over indianapolis bears over tampa bay brown again halftime chargers still leave the rams by a field goal and in the third quarter atlanta over the raiders three nothing remember buddy ryan was saying last night that jerome brown is playing better because he doesn't have a substitute the backup goalie got injured a week ago and he said now brown knows it no matter what happens he has to play every play here you can see him bang up can't even bend over and tie his shoe he's made a couple of big plays on defense and still playing adam simone stays in to help sims [Applause] high and incomplete in the direction of lionel manuel a planned semi rollout jerome brown jerome brown is looking longingly towards that sideline for golic who's not there well it's starting to i think part of its injury and i think it's uh like half injury half fatigue through jerome brown right now he's trying to find some oxygen too well it's third down and behold he'll get some rest that'll make a good pass rusher out of you [Applause] here's sam third down conversion and a gain of 15. i think jerome brown couldn't do it that play pat watch as we see billy yard here here's brown right here in fact he couldn't get any push at all he goes up flap he goes down to one knee he was lucky bill arts a nice guy he just sat there and watched him but look at the lane that that game phil sims to throw the ball there was no one plugging that throwing lane brown is out of there now when you keep the ball 12 plays and for almost five minutes you're wearing down that defense and we saw jerome brown but some of those other guys on that eagle defense are starting to get a little tired too so you get two pluses with these long drives second down and eight at the 25 it began at the sixth [Music] sims is coming out of there with some room for the electric first down he saw this early well here's the lane that he sees pat as we just started back and we'll just let it roll here now if we stop right there we'll see the lane that he sees he sees it right here that if he can get by that he's going to have a long running area you see that hole he sees look there's no white jerseys at all and he knows that he can not only get to the first down but hopefully get to the sideline before anyone gets them but that's the thing the eagles have been giving up lanes to pass [Applause] he caught the ball at about the eighth perhaps tonight young and todd bell good birds remember the last time the giants got down here they had to try for a a field goal uh what they did is they threw on second down ran on third i thought they should have done just the opposite now if i were gonna run i would run on this down and then if it didn't work come back and pass on the third or i would just throw two into the end zone second down to nine [Applause] they can make the first down how about just throwing one into the inside that's all you need that was a championship drive by the giants culminated by this pastor steve baker but watch him when he backs out he's going to throw to the left he was looking for faker all the way when he turns out he's going to throw to the right you could tell he was going to throw someone to his left from the get-go an extra point by mcfadden is good a flag on the play 5 37 left third quarter 10 yards they called tripping against the giants which would be otis anderson on the thing so they'll have to kick it over from 10 units on new york retry well tom dooley's microphone has gotten a raincoat on and so it's working now let's see if you could see it it has to be from the outside on the left otis anderson is the outside left guy he reaches out with his left and trips with his right leg see when you get a wing back like that he has to block two so he blocked one with a trip and one with his shoulder from 10 yards further back still is good and so the giants take the lead over the eagles 17 chamber in the [Applause] next friday on a special edition of college football on cbs the alabama crimson tide will be looking to spoil auburn's bid for an sec title and a bit for the sugar bowl auburn the best defense in the nation alabama was one of the best defensive players in the nation derek thomas live from legion field in birmingham next friday 2 30 eastern time story of that drive which was outstanding the longest of the year for the giants they began at the six and they finally got a touchdown will bring it back gets to the 20. on the tackle let's watch that touchdown again matt here's here's steven baker now watch the safety goes this way now once that happens then he knows that sims is going to go right there now watch the holy see here come faker pope this is the way we used to coach just keep running plays back and forth no one can escape but see what he sees he has him all the way to think his way he knows once he gets him in that hole there's nothing that safety can do to help so the giants lead five touchdowns the eagles have it at their own 21 first and ten cunningham outsiders i think this is the thing more than yardage and that 294 yards giants have they kept that eagle defense out there much too long the eagle defense is worn down and then the other side of it this giant defense is very fresh because of that [Applause] now every time you see a rookie like sheldon white is you try and go to them but look at these drives that we were talking about not the fact that they got touchdowns i mean that's always good you always celebrate over that but they have two drives of over six minutes now that means the two things one that their defense was out there the eagle defense but maybe more importantly in this game that your defense is fresh to chase randall cunningham people really don't realize how difficult that is in this way to get two drives in a game of that length the ball carrier finished leonard marshall a loss of two lawrence taylor hit him first this is the best i've seen leonard marshall play all year i think you know he's been sick he had to flow he missed practice the other day this hasn't been a great year for him but today he looks like he's playing up a notch higher than he has all year i asked bill parcells about leonard marshall yesterday he said yeah he led him he played enough quarters maybe that george martin speaks before the game fired leonardo [Applause] 46 yard trunk by kelsey no return so with 407 left third quarter giants are up by a touchdown the rain is back at giant stadium where the giants leave the eagles 17-10 with 407 left third quarter that [Applause] martha sheds a couple of tacklers and gets into eagle territory mike pitts finally brought him down but you're so right gun that eagle defense has been out there so long they're starting to slide and miss well it's like a fighter you know you get to that eighth or ninth round and and you get the knockout that looks like an easy knockout and it wasn't necessarily that punch in the eighth or ninth round but what is what you did in the first couple i think that's what we're seeing here now we're seeing the effect of the first eight rounds and the giants are now starting to reach the benefit and look at that time of possession first down giants at the eagle 47 mars seth joyner gets him about a yard behind the line of scrimmage he might have gotten back might have lost one third quarter charges still by three over the rams saints shutting out denver 28-zip raiders just got a field goal to make it 6-3 in the coliseum last week the raiders beat the 49ers with three field goals now they got one here they haven't had a touchdown in a few weeks [Applause] [Music] [Applause] second at 10. [Applause] reggie white coming up the middle almost [Applause] the intended receiver white not seems down and he's still down reggie white lined up over the center that time bill sims really took a shot there by reggie white we'll see reggie white is right here and watch the shot that he gives him right here he just runs right by oaks then and right now once he gets by him he smells a quarterback look at that shot that he put on film and sims has gone to the bench hey i think he got hit twice i think the initial contact when reggie white hit him and then the next one when phil sam's body hits the turf and jeff hoss dentler has taken wilson's place since 17 out of 28. two touchdowns and now it's hotstatler [Applause] in the direction of manual of bavaro but incomplete as he went down well that time it was a corner every eric everett came on that one he was unblocked us edward didn't even see him and we started out today where there were seven quarterbacks that started every game and two of those seven are in this game and of course we see phil sims go down here with a real shot from reggie white [Music] connected to the eagles for the giants [Music] [Applause] and the giants were the eagles down over from there two minutes and 21 seconds remain in the third quarter the giants 17 the eagles 10 their brand new palace in auburn hills michigan cbs sports presents in prime time the lakers against the detroit pistons pistons off to an 8-1 start in the early going and thinking about avenging last year's loss to the lakers in the final lakers of course again on top of the pacific division and planning on repeating that's prime time here on cbs eagles with cutting hands got a man got a man open his ron johnson and he is out of bounds finally by perry williams inside the giant 30. a giant player carl banks injured way back at the original lion of scrimmage [Applause] [Music] ron johnson was the man who caught the pass hey ron johnson it looks like he starts out barry williams is out there on him it looks like he has pretty good coverage and then williams looks to the inside and johnson gets back to the outside and i think that that's what really got williams when he turned and turned his shoulder away from johnson to look in at cunningham and then cunningham was able to get the ball up over his outside shoulder carl banks is still down in the field watch him he's coming from right here do it after him he just gets his knee taken out and now banks is up and shutting off that's a welcome sight it looked as if his knee might have buckled well i'll tell you i still don't think he feels too well there pat he threw his helmet down and went to the bench without his helmet i think they're gonna go check something right now on carl banks [Applause] [Music] lawrence taylor made that play keith byers number 41 came out to try and block him watch 41 here fires trying block 56 taylor taylor just stuffs fires here knocks him right back into haddocks addicts had to slow up and try and bounce out and there was nothing there [Applause] taylor's lined up 15 times on that side the offensive left four times in the middle and nine times over on the right so [Applause] by matt darwin i think pepper johnson hit randall cunningham and knocked that football back about 12 yards he really popped that thing out of there did he hit him he just lost control well it went 12 yards backwards however it happened but i think he lost control before he was switching hands and he just kicked the ball back 12 yards and you're right it was matt darwin who made the recovery third and 17. jackson will be in the slot right this time falls at the 41. here's cunningham out of the pocket before keith jackson incomplete and they'll have to randall cunningham taking a peek here at keith jackson i think he expected him to keep running in fact you can see him talking now and jackson started to pull up cunningham let him where he was going and jackson didn't go there [Music] back at the 10-yard line and tells you to put it cocky's going clearly makes it at the 15. word on phil sims is that he has a bruised shoulder was down as a result of the hit by reggie white and what resulted from that when he hit the turf and white fell on top of him in any case he's going to try to return we think but right now it's jeff hostetler at quarterback there's phil sims on the sideline a little while ago pat and you can just see that someone the doctor touched his side or looked like he was just taking a step and his whole side with that on him knocked it down but that was some shot that phil sims took by reggie white reggie white went right by bart oates and then i think after he got there it was a hit and i think it was more when he hit him and driving him into the turf and falling on him that got sick so that's the end of the third quarter with the score of the giant seven team the eagles 10 and we now pause for a word from your local station [Applause] [Music] the national football league is sponsored by the us army where you get an edge on life be all you can be gmac the official sponsor of america's dreams and by cadillac and your local cadillac dealer discover why the only way to travel is cadillac style 17-10 the giants over the eagles the giant stadium at summer all john madden he's the guy that they might suit up at any moment well he's suited up for his last game of brown yesterday they played over here in new york against colombia and won the situation joe of course john's son and he's full grown yeah he uh packed something you know watch this thing again pat it looked like he just touches himself with his left hand like he's feeling something in there look and as he touched it must be like a rib cartilage or something in there and this is how it happened reggie white again running right by fart out getting a shot right now on sims and it's his right area i don't think he's hurt yet and right there i think is where [Music] [Applause] [Music] the ball carrier stopped by byron heaven and around and smiling now and another giant player down joe morris and they come out to attend to him 24-14 the chargers over the rams new orleans shutting out denver 35-0 that score hasn't changed still 6-3 falcons over the raiders 1405 left to play in this contest giants by touchdown by a touchdown bill sims 17 out of 28 had to leave after he was hit by reggie white he might be back and my guest john would be that he will be back if it's at all possible i would i would think maybe if the eagles score again but i think when a guy puts his jacket on and has that look that phil sims has right now i don't think that he's thinking about coming back because this is what happened to him again reggie white with a big hit and i don't think it's the initial hit but watch his right side as he hits the turf and i think if all goes well if the giants have control of this game now if they can keep it i wouldn't expect phil seems to be back in [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] baker unusual but very talented moves i don't know what he did to andre waters the watch it's off at play fake ostadler watches him coming across the field all the way bumps to him then hands it out here i think the eagles think is going to go out of bounds to watch andre waters he comes up there he thought he was going to force him outside baker just went right inside him up the sideline that's when you can't think too much to the defender you just kind of whack them wherever they are that's morris who's back in the contest stopped by seth joyner got a yard line of scrimmage the giant 48 now and one thing the giants can't get satisfied with a seven point lead because the eagles if anything are very good at coming back late in the game they've done it it seems like week after week throughout this year i think what the giants have to try and do is get another score in the board gets up into the pocket to tomorrow but a flag on the flag the borrow would have enough for a first down after a gain of 11. let's see what the penalty marker might be well that's either going to be against bavaro or waters against pavaro because it was on that play the official was watching waters and pavaro all the way down so that's against andre waters and the eagles ravaro had enough for a first down we have illegal contact number 48 on the defense the penalty is declined first down honors was just arguing for wes hopkins giants 20th first down the eagles only have seven but in spite of the domination by the giants they only lead by a touchdown first and ten at the eagle 42 baker emanuel post [Music] and jerome brown lost two simmons played that well he's going to start out here he comes off mark bravaro's block you see he holds on to bavaro holds him hold him work to the outside let the ball come to him and then he's right there waiting for joe morris that's a tough block for favaro but clyde simmons played that exactly the way you have to you don't want to get in too soon on this week you want to hold the block and let the ball come to you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] looking out there at reggie white coming reggie white was getting up the field on doug riesenberg and then in comes mike pitts he sneaks in and gets a sack let's just watch him here you see reggie white again on that power move freezenberg has pretty good shot at a pretty good position and then i think hostile saw that and mike pitts came right inside third down now they need long long yardage about 20 ball back into giant 48. robinson stood wide to the [Applause] that's left off by kerry ho and the eagles will take over their own 36 home at the last second that's the thing that's wrong with the rollout as the quarterback rolls out the whole defense rolls with you and look at that there were there was one giant receiver and four eagle defenders and that's the thing that was a good interception yeah but usted was telling parcells hey i thought i saw him barcelona's saying what i told you there were four guys here how could you see him at all what did you throw that one for i thought i saw him oh yeah he thought you see four white jerseys and one blue guy like he was in the corral first and ten eagles they're on 37. giants 17 little good ten here's cunningham [Applause] one thing i think that the giants defense has done a good job over the eagles haven't done much of it is is randall cunningham running i think as long as they can keep him in the pocket and not run with the ball for any yardage they have him under control make him beat you throwing the ball out of the pocket hunningham has only had like three carries for five yards all day and that's had no effect on this game lawrence taylor lined up this time on the left to myers covered by pepper johnson balls behind buyers and it's a good thing it was because johnson had him covered well if you see randall cunningham gave a signal with his left hand to fires before he threw that ball i think he saw pepper johnson and i think randall cunningham told fires he was going to do that watch with his left hand he'll signal there before you see that the signal there and then he throws that ball short he talked to him with his left hand and threw it with his right fire's fifth catch for the day cunningham gives the fire right side for a couple george martin on the stop [Music] raiders just got another field goal to tie atlanta 6-6 and they're in the fourth quarter now the eagles in giant territory [Applause] [Music] that's what's tough about being a nose tackle you know you have the center blocks here the guard blocks you they bring the tight end on you remember the other day we're talking to jim burton he said i don't care what my kid grows up to be but i don't want him to grow up to be a nose tackle that was a late penalty illegal formation i think is what he said but it was late yeah but it was after they were way after when they were in the huddle now they're having another huddle dooley has that thing under some plastic and it still doesn't work maybe he just forgot to turn it on we have an illegal formation number 78 was on the end of the line second down [Applause] what that means is that the split end on the open side the weak side didn't line up on the line of scrimmage so that made the left ankle eligible which is an illegal formation here's cunningham flushed out of the pocket chased by partners chris carter the intended receiver that'll think of a third and long situation there was another one of those where randall cunningham went outside and he motioned chris carter with his left hand before he threw it with the right hand eddie hill was upset about something with chris carter yeah they do that all the time i see over in the sideline now phil sims is warming up i think if the eagles get anything going here we could see sims again third and thirteen at midfield [Applause] well he saw that red marker up there cunningham just ran right for it now he's trying to get a little breath back because i think he could have knocked the wind on himself and diving for it see that red thing when they take that out they leave the flag there see the flag the the piece of cloth on the ground so that's telling cunningham where he has to go and he just took a dive right beyond it so it'll be first and ten for the eagles at the giant 35 now with 9 53 left somebody jumped free play for cunningham now they stop it cunningham use that free play to drill gary reasons look like they used a guide rush to just throw it in his face paul storm 73 off here first there was george martin who appeared to jump but heller must have pulled him heller doesn't have that pfizer anymore remember he got poked in the eye and had that eye problem and then he wore a visor and doesn't look like he has one on today i would imagine those things would be very difficult in rainy weather weather like this it's been raining all day right now here's cunningham [Applause] that's in the area of offensive holding and if it is that'll be the first holding penalty today [Applause] it might be against lawrence taylor yes i thought i saved some say 56. and phil sims isn't warming up [Applause] i think i think the referees have in trouble he turns his mic on when it's not supposed to be on it turns it off when it's supposed to be on because that time he was calling randall cunningham over there to say do you want the penalty or do you want to decline the penalty called him cunningham can't imagine he'd decline it illegal use of hands number 56 on defense first down here's lawrence taylor right here at the bottom and we'll see what he does and it you can't hit to the head and that's the only thing you see has this rush he takes his right hand into the face or the face mask of the blocker boy they're getting tough on rushers when you can't do that you know a lot of times you get a shot to go to the shoulder and it just works up to the helmet you go first down 35. [Applause] picked up three [Music] [Music] this is the biggest thing that randall cunningham does and the thing that you worry is when he runs out of the pocket but look today he's run out of the pocket to the left for 15 yards no passes going to the left to the right he's run out of there for four yards and hasn't complete a pass so he hasn't come out of the pocket all day and completed a pass and that's what defenses worry about there he is jerry williams back there with jimmy giles randall cunningham the eagle quarterback the eagles trail the giants at giants stadium by a touchdown right now it's just a heavy heavy cloud hanging over the stadium has been raining most of the day 850 left to play with the giants 17 the eagles 10 pat sumrall with john madden a clutch game for both teams giants could take the lead in the nfc east outright for the eagles to tie them cunningham wants to talk it over with buddy ryan so with 8.50 left in the game it's the giants by seven back down in the entrance to the tunnel it leads to the dressing rooms gary carson who friday underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee from the injured reserve and out for at least four weeks third down and seven at the 32 here comes the giant blitz cunningham contribute the direction of carter is picked off by canard flag on the play back at the lioness river a penalty marker down carter shipped up the penalty is against the eagle i think this is an interception that you have to give to the pass rush watch this they have cunningham surrounded he throws when he doesn't want to froze into double coverage and there was jerry cannon what's that as you say that was the first interception by a safety for the giants and you talk about if you're not going to have them and you're going to wait to get one there's no better day than today in this game jeff hostetler returns as the giant quarterback bill sims still with his jacket on the sideline injured after being hit by ricky white morris west side stopped by reggie white after a gain of three i think the giants you know have had that type of year where they've kind of been up and down and they admitted they'd start to think they're good they they weren't and then when they thought they weren't they were and as bill parcell said this is the most important game that we play this year this is the biggest game we have to because if we could win this one we could be in great shape to get in the playoffs if we don't it's going to be an uphill the battle maybe the 20 the true safety man saved him in for the eagles waters and hopkins picked up four [Applause] that's reggie white on that last one there he'll get he'll get your guys and he'll get his own guys he just comes in and looked like bell pot bell his linebacker just took his legs out from under as he was getting ready to make the play good block third and three at the 20. [Applause] where'd that guy come from [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i don't know what that play was that that wasn't a very good looking play that looked like something that happened late saturday in the street either that or it wasn't a design thing [Applause] especially to run it on third down buford back to punt then he'll put from about his own five yard line maybe the sixth [Music] is [Applause] he struggles to the 44 maurice carthage in the first man down 42-yard punt return of six 6-28 remain eagle ball back at giant stadium giant 17 the eagles can phoenix the cardinals have already lost houston obviously won if you look at more on cbs sports wire buffalo beat the jets in overtime minnesota 12-3 a lot of field goals today bad weather in buffalo just like bad weather here no other excuses two best teams in football look to me like buffalo and the afc and the bears in the nfc with new orleans baby just to level down very close cunningham back to throw it now from down midfield lost the ball but got as much out of that as he could that was an interesting race that's one if they had something i'd pay money to watch when you talk about cunningham one of the best scramblers in the league and fastest guys and taylor one of the best catchers see he's just gonna mirror him he's not rushing him he's just waiting he's what he calls spy if he runs he has to get him then it's man on man now that is an interesting race to the sideline you got sailors just fight them or mirror them wherever cunningham goes he's going to stay with him now taylor is going to rush with the right side cunningham gets it outside fires him complete he was juggling when he went out [Applause] phil sims injured went out after being hit by reggie white you know what i think has happened pat i think as you look here that since sims left the production obviously has gone down i think when sims was in there they had things going because look what they did ostendler came in and threw an interception after eighth placement three and punt i think the eagle defense was tired and i think they've let him off the hook and i can feel momentum changes i think hammer's gonna come out again and he's going to get it up and more than a first down cunningham stop finally by pepper johnson and can he be dangerous [Applause] thanks that's the thing that you can't do watch here as we watch him come out now we'll let him go here now he fakes out now watch right here this is what he sees you see he sees that his guys down field are covered so he sees that he has all that room to run and he knows that he can get about 20 yards before any blue jerseys can get him you see right there they lost containment and after that point it was all first and ten at the 21 for the eagle with less than six minutes left now the handoff is to haddocks who nudges down inside to 20. 5 15 left to play giants by touchdown randall cunningham really does have control of this team in this offense now i don't know if you saw it just before the snap fires was in the wrong formation so he was up under center and he motioned fires to get back get in the eye formation to run the play he wanted to run [Applause] goes out howard comes in nose tackle for the giants second and seven ball of the giant 18 carter wide right jackson left him to buyers almost in a one-handed grab again and couldn't do it lost control and lawrence taylor was right on randall cunningham as he threw that ball back after he threw it lawrence taylor knocked him down i think this is a type of a game and the time in a game where great players come to the top you know that average players will play average in tight games and big games and great players great but play great tight games third and seven at the 18. the eagles if they don't make it will have to settle for a field goal i'm sure cunningham the middle to jackson fumble the official says carter got it for a touchdown for philadelphia chris carter after jackson fumbled about the two the ball rolled into the end zone and carter came up with it that's the thing you give randall cunningham those kind of shots at you keith jackson has been quiet all day you know he's a leading receiver in the league coming in here here in a big play they get him he gets hit right there by terry canard it bounces into the end zone and carter's on top if that were a fourth down play a fumble can't be advanced or in the last two minutes any other time it can be for the extra points ties it up with 4 28 left to play at 17-17 let's watch keith jackson he's a tight end he's going to run an in pattern he runs up he makes a nice move getting inside of pepper johnson pepper johnson should never have let that happen canard makes the good hit and carter comes up with it but where he got that ball was getting inside of pepper johnson pepper johnson had the position on keith jackson and jackson got beyond them we talked about that earlier his ability to get away from the linebacker seems to be one of his real real strong points well you know and on that play he used what defensive lineman used they call it a a swim technique and a pass rush he used that same technique against pepper johnson so with 428 remaining the eagles will kick off and dejas back deep will be gugamos and hannocks for the giants who have all three of their timeouts remaining the eagles only have two and it was interesting in the first half cunningham only ran for one yard to the 22. for an nfl update now let's take you back to brent berger in our new york studio well pat andre bruce the number one draft choice of the atlanta falcons is having a monster two sacks an interception and a fumble recovery here after he forced it this set up the touchdown that has allowed the falcons to go ahead of the raiders 12-6 they blew the extra point pat until the raiders are alive back-to-back raiders having a tough time scoring touchdowns right here at 17-17 the eagles and the giants [Music] [Applause] i have never seen that formation maurice clark on the fullback was split out as a wide receiver and then what you're going to see is manual comes in in motion now watch the outside guy up there right there that was karthon and now what happens is he runs the pattern inside karthon just keeps him out long enough so that manuel can get up that scene first and ten giants at their own 49ers [Music] [Applause] it's like jerome brown got his second wind here now pat but i think a lot of that is because since sims went down the giants haven't kept those drives going they haven't kept that eagle defense out there they haven't worn them down now the eagle defense has been on the sideline they're rested and now you feel they have control second and 15 from the 43 manual in motion [Applause] that was that same formation again maurice clark on out split out as a wide receiver then they threw to the opposite side that time to joe morris breesenberg offensive right tackle for the giants getting up very slowly he's done a good job really on reggie white most of the day wow that's a tough job that's an all-day sucker when you get started with that you see what happened is reggie white drove him back into the backfield and then he got clipped from behind by another part of the pile in this second year carl nelson has replaced him they also went down early in the season with a with an injured knee and ankle this place was taken by reisenberg and he's done a good job well first it was john elliott remember jumbo elliott went in there and jumbo had some problems he was a big rookie and then reisenberg came in and did well so he's been the starter and i think when carl nelson came back he just couldn't beat reisenberg out and again reisenberg not hurt on blocking reggie white but on someone else's blocking falling into him looks like at the afc west all three of the teams denver raiders all three that were tied for first place will lose today so that it'll stay just about like it was well that's what matt millen or the raiders said remember he says we stink but denver thinks that seattle stinks too and i just hope at the end of the season we speak less than ace thing third down and eight at the 49. goes out in the sprint formation this time robinson will demand the most impressive glitch ass incomplete intended for stacy robinson stitler just barely got rid of it that was that rookie everett eric everett again and he just came free from hostetler's left side you'll just see from hostetler's left the top of the screen right there you see him he was outside no one blocked him osteedler had to get rid of that ball injured eagle after that last place still down as maurice buford comes on to punt for the giants 17-17 the score with 219 left and we could be headed for overtime you know it's funny how momentum goes uh the giants had it there for a while they seem to have everything going their way and then boom phil sims goes down and you could just feel it change then and the offense didn't work as well the defense of the eagles was more arrested they took the game over and then you get a tight game it becomes a randall cunningham game then he takes it over and that's that's the way it is now i mean i think the giants had the upper hand most of the game i think the eagles have it right now that's eric allen behind the eagle medical staff down in the middle of that group of people their rookie cornerback who's done an outstanding job really all year long buddy ryan's eyes light up when he talks about eric allen he said he was a rookie he said every time we'd play someone they'd start to work on the rookie he said but he answered him he said he's been there and last week against the steelers he said he played his best game he said there's a kid that we took that i'm really proud of connect me back for the eagles and maury buford will plan [Music] philadelphia's blocked one of his blocked it early got nothing out of it this time it looks like they're trying to set up a return and not put on the heavy rush oats is the center and a good snap [Applause] threw it backwards and it took the football bounce it just chased him i think google thought that he was closer to the line than he was it looks like right there he had room to not have to worry about it then he threw it and he threw it down and then as you said it just took a football bounce the wrong way for the giants the right way for the eagles so they get it out to the 20 instead of being at the one and that happens when things change for you those kind of bounces this interesting fact cunningham gets the ball with two minutes left to go into game 208 and he said this is the part of the game he loves the most he rolls out of the pocket chased by taylor comes out of there fires to jackson who makes the catch jeffrey johnson bought a gain of 22 yards to keith jackson and we'll now have the two minute warning and when we come back the eagles will have the ball with two timeouts left matt darwin does a nice job against lawrence taylor watch him here he has him here now watch right there at the end he just gives that little push there now now cunningham could make that spin see darwin here just push it back just picks him off now you get the spinner now he finds keith jackson and you get the completion that's why it would be fun to be an offensive tackle and blocking for randall cunningham you know all you need is a little push at the end and you'll get around it and eventually you get a chance to get even here's cunningham back in the pocket setting now fires it now they're gonna say he was in the grass i think so i think the referee blew the whistle before he ever threw the ball watch the pass rush here on randall cunningham the referee is right there if you look he's blowing the whistle right now he blows the whistle see him blow the whistle he blew it george martin had a hold of him and the referee blew the whistle before cunningham through it makes it second and 27. we're talking about it perhaps being somebody jumped marshall i think perhaps harry carson's career with the giants over i think the giants figure george martin at the end of the year will not be back i'll start 72 that's the final score now the falcons who have won three out of their last four have become more than respectable and look at what's happened denver is losing 42 to nothing to new orleans the raiders in seattle already have lost and nobody in the afc west has a winning record like matt millen says they all over the stink side stop get down by sheldon white third and 28 it'll bring up the ball at the 25. george martin announced this week that he was going to retire that this would be his last year again harry carson told us in the locker room before the game he thought the team was lackadaisical he called them all together and he said george martin is a guy who doesn't use profanity he said believe it or not george martin used profanity he said i've never seen him get so excited yell and scream so much and it looks like it has had an effect on this team today is that an effect on george martin it sure has a reminder that tonight on cbs it begins with 60 minutes who's the man being brought into the 60 minutes interview in chains well he's jonathan pollard the man who gave american military secrets to israel and he's on 60 minutes tonight that's followed by murder she wrote starring angela lansbury then it's the cbs sunday movie the diamond trap starring howard heston brookshield ed marinero and twiggy is any of that affected pat if we go into overtime twiggy might be and 28th eagle ball at their own 25 high score 17 a piece cunningham with time for carter incomplete harry williams step for step the eagles will have to kick it i think the thing that stopped the eagles that time is george martin sack of randall cunningham making it fourth and 30 or 40 and there's no one that's going to make a play there that was a big big play by george martin back to punch in mcconkie mcconkie's standing in his own 32 until she was [Applause] changed 45. jeff back at quarterback [Applause] ever [Applause] [Music] stacy robertson for those of you expecting 60 minutes welcome to cbs sports coverage of the national football league i'm pat summerhall along with john madden here at giant stadium where the score is 17 17 and 60 minutes will follow at the conclusion of the game looking deep for manual incomplete box stop with 35 seconds left phil sims started of course at quarterback for the giants one out with a peru's shoulder giants have picked up 70 yards with hostile replacing sims cunningham has got the eagles back into a tie we have 35 seconds left the giants with timeouts left but they need a couple of first downs to get into field goal range third and five at midfield here first down here they're gonna have to punch [Applause] yeah i was going to say they haven't sent their punt team out in the sideline but they have to punt in this situation with a score tied fourth down they have to punt clock is running maybe they're just going to settle for overtime and let it run out now he says timeout i think he's trying to get as much time off and then maybe get to the point where you didn't have to punt i'm surprised that right after that third down the eagles didn't take the time out we're headed for overtime i think bill parcells was trying to get the time run off the clock and then just get it all the way up where he didn't have to punt then he saw he did so he took a timeout but again i think the eagles right when hospital went down should have taken the time out because if nothing else they can go for a punt block and maybe get one of those hail mary plays orleans shut out denver and i mean shut him out 42 to nothing now you think he tries to go for a first down tries to get down close enough for a field goal or is he going to punt it he clear comes the punting team yeah i would think i mean he just has to put it i think the eagles ought to just put up 10 men on the line of scrimmage and just go for it this you know is the 10th anniversary of the famous fumble here between the eagles and the giants when joe forsake was the quarterback and the eagles hermann edwards recovered a fumble and they won a game they shouldn't have won [Music] [Applause] 50 yard and we're looking at uh some more football well you know we did a game here just a couple of years ago between these two teams was in overtime remember the real windy day i think the giants won the toss and they they kicked off and the eagles had to go into the wind the giants beat him yeah the wind was about 40 miles an hour that day and buddy ryan was saying that he thought that he lost that game not playing it on the field but just the flip of the coin when they toss the coin he said i knew we'd had it happen to win today uh hasn't been that type of factor so i think in the overtime the team that wins the toss is going to take the ball randall cunningham straightening out the offensive formation i don't know why well he just wants his safety back behind him in case he fumbles but with one second and we're headed for overtime which will be just like starting a new game 17-17 and we head for overtime and those are the overtime rules they will toss the coin three-minute break before they come back out two timeouts per team in overtime a 15-minute period first score wins you know the interesting thing about that is everyone thinks that the team that wins the toss usually wins the game but that's only happened in about half the games in fact if you look at it the team receiving the overtime kickoff has won 50 percent of the game now it seems like whenever that happens the winning class win in the game everyone said well the other team should get the ball that's not the way it works out george martin out let's see who won the toss that's amazing that really surprised me that statistic first time i saw it yeah ourselves you saw a minute ago perhaps saying philadelphia wins a toss and we'll receive the eagles won the toss they'll get it first this time wind will not be a factor brain has been all day long headed into overtime pat some are all john madden and it's 17 a beast the eagles and the giants overtime at giants stadium the seventh overtime game this year in the nfl the eagles won the toss and they will receive the kickoff records in overtime the eagles three seven and two the giants six five and one mcfadden the x eagle again will kick off for the giants eagles get the ball fields goes back [Applause] and [Applause] made the stop next a reminder against 60 on the west minutes where you'll see that it's regular time eagles take over first and ten in overtime at their own twenty five randall cunningham behind dave remington and behind him [Music] yard line after a gain of eight by perry williams yeah this is the area that the randall cunningham says of all football that he enjoys the most is just that last two minutes when you're behind the scores tied he had a chance at halftime in that situation he had a chance at the end of the game but george martin came up with a big stack so now he gets his third chance in this situation today second and two the eagles have become the cardiac kids of this year [Applause] a yard and a yard short of first burt on the bottom of the pile hey if you're going to run the ball inside you have to get the nose tackle blocked and then of course the other side of it if you're a defense you can't let them have any movement on that nose pack and still in that play when you're trying to run out of jim bird is one of the best look at that i mean those legs are starting to fall out that six gets farther from the four good set of guns on him third down cunningham the fire gets to midfield and more canard finally stopped him but a gain of 25 from cunningham to buyers great pass by cunningham hey gary reasons number 55 was right there with him and the ball goes right by he darn here got his left hand out there he was just a step behind the buyers got to step on reasons and cunningham put the ball the only place that buyers could get his reasons could that reason has looked like he dislocated something couldn't get his arm up you know what trying to trying to pull his right arm out there [Applause] the eagles are now at the giant 41 cunningham chase fires out of bounds was the nearest target but he was under heavy pressure from taylor hey lawrence taylor comes from his left side right down here at the bottom of the screen watch him he just runs right by his guy and then he runs right by randall cunningham cunningham has a feel you know you can't see back on that side but you have to feel that guy coming he didn't see it but he felt him and stepped up certain guys had that you can't coach that can you no you can't you can't put mirrors on your helmets but you hope that they have it it's called quarterback instinct that would yes second and ten at the 41. [Applause] well he wasn't stepping forward he was stepping backwards so he didn't have everything on it that he wanted that's the book on cunningham it hadn't been statistically anything like the day he had in the first game against the giants when they beat him down in philadelphia i say two things are going to happen and the eagles are going to win cunningham is going to run with the ball or he's going to throw it to keith jackson jackson is in the slot for the right the giants have got a lot of people up there on the line of scrimmage cunningham is just going and telling every player what to do incomplete well that's what bill parcell said he'd like to have cunningham scrambling out of the pocket to his right hey the giants are going to take the all-out rush watch lawrence taylor is in the middle now george martin is going out there to get containment and they're rushing they have good good rush on cunningham and good coverage downfield that that's a combination of equals breaking back [Music] [Applause] to play couldn't make it since hostetler took over from sam well you know that's the first thing you know if you look at the first play he had eight plays which wasn't bad but the result was the interception then after that it was just three and punt four and punt three and punt and and that's where the game changed not that it was host edler's fault but the game just went downhill when sims went out then the opposite side that's when the eagles came back and it's still jeff hostetler giants from the road 20 in overtime [Applause] [Music] to about the 25 stop by seth joyner after a gain of five um you know if you think that that mark bavaro has has been kind of nicked up this year but if there's anyone on this giant team who's been an eagle killer it's been this guy sure you know maybe if you know we say that the eagles either cunningham running or keith jackson maybe if the giants are going to make a play here it could be bavaro who has to give it to him [Applause] don't forget thursday thanksgiving day on cbs the nfl today begins at noon eastern time and then it's the vikings against the lions both of whom won today you know those two things just go hand in hand yeah i mean you have to have that you have to have a turkey on thanksgiving in a football game in detroit yeah in detroit i mean the football the turkey or the turkey the football whichever comes first doesn't make any difference but those two just have to go together it's like the dressing and the cranberry sauce and all that stuff thank goodness we'll be able to enjoy them i never want to miss one [Applause] with his second interception off hotstadler that's a play the eagle defenses need terry hogue whoever buddy ryan was saying about him he's like gary fencic with speed he's one of those guys that you know knows football understands the whole game is always in the right place reads everything that was just good coverage by hope he was over in a double coverage but that was a poor pass by hoss dedler he just didn't have anything on it so it's first into the eagles and the heat goes on the giant defense again the eagles take over at their 41 after the interception by ho [Applause] back to throw it pressure's on him he gets it to annex down to the giant 30 stopped by reason but a gain of 12. he just barely got rid of it well this is where cunningham has such a great feel and a great quip arm he doesn't have to have his feet right all the time there he has his feet parallel he could still find haddocks and get the ball to him we worry about a quarterback sometimes he always has to has his feet in the right place he doesn't get him he doesn't get the completion but the eagles right now are in field goal range you saw just a moment ago loosening up on the sideline first down and cunningham goes back to throw it it's an outside that fires behind him and he couldn't hold on you talk about what this means is zendejas getting ready to kick really if the eagles lose today pat for all intent and purposes they're out of it but if they win today they have control and the giants can still be in it but someone has to beat the eagles in because that mean that the eagles would have beaten the giants two times so if they end up tied the eagles win i mean this is a big big football right now we're looking at second and ten only four more games to go after this one for both teams so it's getting more and more difficult to pick up ground lock running they only got two seconds now to get rid of it they get it off and whistle start to blow maybe time had expired more trouble with that microphone yeah 73 out there that might just take them out of field goal range if they don't pick up something now well right now that would add 17 yards to it so that'd be a 52-yard field goal for us in dejas if they don't pick up anything second down and 15 the ball has moved back to [Music] right now as john madden said it would be 52 if they don't pick up anything here comes taylor here's the rush there's the pass for carter incomplete with a flag on the play sheldon white on the coverage there was a lot of bumping down there with a defensive against the the offensive guy 48 defense ball against kenny hill [Applause] yeah the ball was thrown on sheldon white and they called it against kenny hill away from the ball you see up on top there that's that's sheldon white now down here you see right there in the middle kenny hill was holding on to keith jackson they called that before he got out of there see the flag come in at kenny hill that wasn't the guy cunningham through to first down automatic first and ten eagles at the giant 30. [Applause] gonna [Applause] scramble for 12 by cunningham that's a part of the eagle offense you expected one keith jackson gets a play but it's a penalty against kenny hill and then they come right back and randall cunningham runs it let's just watch it and see what he said you see right now he's broken containment right there now when he gets out there he wants to see how far the defender is if they're 10 yards away from him like they are right now he's going to keep the ball see so he keeps it knows he can get at least 10 and picks up 15. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hit by eric howard and knocked back after a gain of three i wouldn't be surprised if buddy ryan takes a field goal here and doesn't wait for fourth down he may take one more shot at it i think somewhere right now he's starting to think should we kick it now or take a shot would be what 32 yards if they did it from here yeah that would i mean i know you kickers don't like the word chip shot but that present after the uh equivalent of there is no such thing i don't it's a bad word but if there was an equivalency of that the handoff is to haddocks down to about the 13 perhaps here he comes on third down with his field goal unit in the event they might get a bad snap or something like that they could just down it and still have a shot you know one thing randall cunningham was saying is was zendejas he gives the offense so much more confidence because he knows that that he can make the field goal that they get down there they don't have to feel they have to get it in of course the giants are trying to psych them out see they're taking a time out here tell you what john the one thing i noticed about him in warm up and in the other kicks is he doesn't get the ball you know like morton anderson shoots the ball almost straight up in the air zendejas doesn't do that he kicks it kind of low and if he doesn't get it up then in the air that you know that's the possible blocking thing that you can get in the middle and i'm sure that that's what the giants will do they'll overload the middle and then come from one side or the other on a block center houses and tailshake will be the holder little is the snapper or maybe it's alexander it is alexander david alexander who's the center now simmons is the man who recovered it the question is whether it was behind the line of scrimmage then you can advance it that's the rule if it's behind the line of scrimmage when it's recovered if the ball momentum of the ball takes it downfield then it can't be advanced now we have to see if the ball is one if it comes backward which it does and then where it's recovered if it's recovered behind the line of scrimmage as it was then it could be advanced if it went downfield or the momentum of the ball took it up field then it can't be advanced touchdown eagles and they have left the field so it's a philadelphia victory 23-17 in overtime a bizarre ending [Music] sometimes the best way to avoid the rush is to sell giants and phoenix cardinals all with seven and five san francisco and washington play tomorrow night and look at the end of this kind of game look at lawrence taylor consoling i believe jim burton 23-17 the eagles beat the giants for the second time this year for john madden this is pat sumrall saying so long from giant stadium in east rutherford new jersey for the final score philadelphia 23 the giants 17. you've been watching cbs sports coverage of the national football league
