1989 Rams @ Patriots

[Music] [Applause] before Christmas brutally cool Jim Everett who's kept the spirits boy among his celebrated Elle nice and doesn't need to check his playlist twice a playoff spot is all they want these are ready to throw ever [Music] great will ring the bell because their Santa Oh Dave Robinson is giving up more than playoffs in holidays [Music] Super Bowl here we [Music] the Rams Patriots game wasn't on the Christmas list of many New Englanders they've stayed away in droves and it will not be a large crowd here this afternoon the rampage clinched a playoff spot with a win today if they lose LA needs help a Minnesota loss tomorrow against Cincinnati or Green Bay loss today Dallas will get them in the weather not as bad as expected 21 degrees right now first time it's been the team in almost a week and Merry Christmas everybody I'm Tim Brant along with the guy with the big claws Dan jiggetts hey Dan let's talk about this game first of all the Rams come in here they need a win to get into the playoffs but they traditionally have not played well in cold weather but I think that really goes out the window today and if it goes out the windows gonna be very cold but the Rams are gonna go deep early today I think that to Everett and Anderson and that's gonna put them on the board and try to bury the Patriots as soon as this game starts how about New England now what motivates them it's a team Raymond berry gave most of the week off to recuperate it's a team with Mountain much motivation their 5 and 10 nothing really to play for what motivates them well I think it is pride the other thing is Raymond Berry's done something a little different this time around normally at the end of the season if you're out of the playoffs you get to go home well this time Raymond berry says hey I want you guys to stick around for another team meeting on the 26th of December also remember mark.wilson the starting quarterback for the Patriots today is going with a dislocated fracture on his index finger of his throwing hand so we'll see how that develops as the day goes on alright Dan a look at mark.wilson there and of course no England will be kicking off look at this a Ramson made the playoffs five of the last six years under coach Robinson they'll try to make it six out of seven today and New England has been very successful and season-ending games play here at Sullivan Stadium for and oh and we should pass this along as well Raymond berry said this team will not quit it's got a lot of fight in it Jason Starsky will be taking off to Ron Brown and Bobby's Alpena it's Brown at the 10 across the 25 to the 27 yard line and that's where the Rams will start so bring on jim evridge who starting quarterback leads the NFL in yards you see that and offensively the rest of the talent that surrounds him hanky newberry Smith Slaton and Jackie Slater Johnson is the tight end wide outs are dangerous all the skilled folks on bail McKee in the backfield with Ellen and flipper Anderson out wide hold a hand and Cox come in and passing downs obvious passing downs when they spread the formation speed everywhere first down Rams Everett's first pass it's completely to the 37-yard Bobby Delfino will be close to a first down I think he got it a gain of 11 defensively for New England it's hodge tim goad and brett williams up front they go on a 3-4 ski and then the load up even more linebacker Schultz Reynolds rambilas London handler grew the linebackers in the secondary first the longtime veteran Clayburn Marian and James Bowman it holds the nickel-and-dime backs Hurst is the guy that they will probably pick on today he's young and he bites a lot of times quickly [Music] first down at the 40 [Applause] bangs his way out close to midfield they'll mark it at the 49 yard line it'll bring up second down and one that time you saw rembert number 52 coming in on the Blitz now you gonna see him flash right in the front of your screen he's blocked in the backfield and that's the key to the play because that really Springs bell you see him coming up now if you're blitzing you take that opportunity sometimes you gonna get burned and that's what happened to the Patriots that time good blocking by the Rams up front I don't know whether to give Fred Marian credit for that tackle or just getting in the way he was run over by Bell second down and one Rams [Music] [Applause] he has about four or five four tiptoed makes the sign one of the things I wanted man's at home to look for today timbers or the ramps or their offensive line now they do something that's particularly to the rams and after is watching them they're going through their past protections watch the position at those offensive linemen are in good extension on those arms and keeping their heads back and what that does is it keeps those defensive linemen off their quarterback because they keep good separation watching a past event first down apps go with two tight ends Ola hand comes in to the ballgame down ever throws [Applause] it's another Rams first down so we talk about tradition that they've had in cold weather this team has come out firing well you know they came in yesterday and practice a little bit got a feel for the weather it was a little colder yesterday than it is today and as you know it's a little bit warmer down in the field and it is up top here because up the sun is shining down there it's also that shape it's in the 80s a gain of 14 first down the ball at New England's 30 [Applause] is forward to about the 23 keep walk thereby Damone Johnson number 86 lead easy he tied in for the Rams he's getting a nice block in the corner watching Timon Johnson 86 on the right side of your screen watching hook block here that is getting up there getting that linebacker out of the way pushes him down out of the way then allow smell of spring and they also get a good block from McGee that time about those guys in your back feel you know they help you out to be done the block for you the tackle was made by ed Reynolds the captain he's been second down 83 the ball at the 23 [Applause] to stop there they call him Rambo because he wreaks havoc all over the football field in that time he made a nice stop started playing baseball with glory started playing anything else didn't think I'm football until late you that was the good news for a lot of guys junior school started playing football we went to junior college got a couple of scholarships wanted to go to Florida they didn't want it I ended up at Clemson and he's still playing seven year veteran [Applause] [Music] two tight ends for the round one tackler gets the first down he's down at the 17 friend Marion makes the tackle fourth first down on this drive LA started on its own twenty nine you think back to all the years that John Robinson at the Rams had thousand yard rushers from everybody saying hey look this year what's going to happen bill does look like he's running as well well he may very well get his thousand yards today again nine twenty seven coming in talking with John Robinson yesterday we mentioned that la had won its first five games and we're off to a quick start and they lost four but then turned things around and won five of the last six and turned it around he says that's a credit to this young team [Applause] 17 [Applause] so the Patriots aren't ready to quit the season yet Angi yarn returned the tackle made by Doug Smith the center field you see it right the million screen 31 these are safety back this she's gonna float back here that goal line watch which way the court of that looks and then break on the ball that's exactly what he did Cooper Anderson was the receiver down there the intended receiver and not for Marion

after an impressive Drive first down Patriots at the 20 [Applause] that finger looks alright on Wilson gays thrown short you know lose the Rams probably be in a zone early on they did then linebackers drop back swing your back out right around they had a little circle right just pop it into him see how you feel throwing the football first of all does have that non-displaced fracture of his index finger you saw him holding it there just briefly it's his right index finger the pointer finger he's like fracture underneath completing 27 256 last week at Pittsburgh most passes he's ever thrown [Applause] makes the catch the 36 I had a little pick or a rub going along with Eric severs number 85 now watch you'll see severs come in and that's what really cleans off fryer when he comes back up inside you so you see we're just at the top Eastern where you can't see him in it but anyway that's what happened believe me frier comes to the bottom of the screen [Applause] first down at the 36 Wilson throws feet in control it was intended for Hartly dikes he says there was interference from the yeah well that may well have been but if you're hardly guys she got to fly down to feel them to go you got to go after the ball like you really wanted the end via Babb Douglas and Armstrong up front Eric severs is the guy who's the tight end and he's also a wideout he's been very impressive the last couple of weeks John Stephens Pro Bowler last year Perryman in the backfield with him Hartly dikes an urban fryer out wide and Cedric Jones the other watt out it's second down and ten this one is almost picked off by Jerry gray it was intended for fryers fire slipped on the play we'll set that defense for you Smith right Big Sean Miller up front at a Rams will play a lot linebackers three kilm Strickland and Wiltshire and in that secondary it's gray the longtime veteran Leroy Irvin who's been around ten years at a Kansas Newsome and Stewart and lien Hicks will come in at dime and nickel situations which is right now they go to six defensive backs so they're in its third down and ten Wilson throws [Applause] [Music] [Applause] if you did in the ground you can hear feel at citric Jones in the slot [Applause] goes down excuse me he's out here on the sideline he's got a rental a buttonhook at about 10 to 12 yards and now let's see if that ball skips up off the dirt boy stuff to see from that angle it looks like it is down on the ground right there so Jeff beagles will come into the game now as a punter for New England and he'll be kicking to Daryl Henley there's a good-looking fievel's not having one of his greater years this is a Boomer though the wool sets up and he gets back but there's beep coverage by the New England Patriots a 52-yard foot by beagles a 13 yard return

driven down here and introduced himself as Roger he just took me around and consoled me and told me that we were gonna get a place to stay and we were gonna be able to rebuild and then he did something he didn't have to he started climbing right up there cost about this you listen to these ads about you're in good hands and then if you don't go through it it's just one more ad that you'll laugh at mine will laugh at it now the Patriots scored on a Hail Mary pass as time expired November 16th Eason was the quarterback 1986 frozen up top and I want you to watch number 80 fryer the back of the endzone touchdown New England and they go on to win at 32 28 that game also marked the debut of one Jim Everett who is now the quarterback of the Rams season threw that thing I think it might have brought rain in Southern California every friar would like to do that today [Applause] that giant score is important to the Rams the Rams need a win today to clinch and if the Giants lose the Rams can home field New York captain one [Applause] first down and 10 at the 25 Everett booth time throws the little swing pass incomplete [Applause] it's just 73 yards to get a thousand to the John Robinson seven straight 1,000 yard rusher if he gets it everyone says traditionally the Rams have run the ball so well but you know one of the things that's happened is with the maturation of Jim Everett and his understanding of the passing game of running zambezi well now you start throwing the ball because you got some threats downfield Ehlert flipper Anderson and even Aaron Cox and later on Ron Brown at some point certainly Pete Holohan second down and ten [Applause] [Music] cuts back inside [Applause] Greg Bell the six-year veteran out of Notre Dame 53 yards key heroes watch belt on the cutback now he's got to head over to his right there break it back over to the left gets good blocking on that backside that is really the key hanky with a nice blocking as well as Newberry and then sprays him into the secondary now had the Weathermen warm I think Bell would have gone all the way you can see him tightening up a little bit as he's running downfield trying to make a little move there and going back inside Marian brings him down [Applause] first down they market at the 28 [Music] and a Rain Bird makes the tackle oh man that time Greg just ran over Rambo Gary in the game was the ball carrier watch Greg fell here this time he's got to run over Rambo rampant watch him number 42 [Music] we're Amber's gonna come up in there just get run over he got smoked on that play that's Cleveland Gary [Applause] second down and seven at the 25 for the Rams [Applause] into 24 by Edel Reynolds Reynolds is the leading tackler for the Patriots good look at Jim pepper boy has he mature when I asked him about his maturation process goes what does that remember the 28 touchdowns 15 interceptions so it's a percentage of touchdowns over the empties you seem as he's walking to the line of scrimmage survey young quarterbacks them too as well as older quarterbacks it's a big swinging pimping the Patriots six defensive backs it doesn't completed five [Music] everyone's expecting henriella to make a pact and move off a break off of his route this time he just runs a scene straight down the field Everett region perfectly reads it to that zone it just pops it right on into Henry eller [Applause] Ellard as the Rams leading receiver came into this game with 66 catches his hamstring pull is better but it's only 95% he says not completely healthy yet it looks like you banged up a Zell [Applause] in the backfill this is bill [Applause] filled Rams a cold day down on the goal line what do you do I think you just keep pounding the football and they're running the ball don't try to get fancy throwing it in the air that's what they did on this play Greg Bell running the football that offensive line gets an opportunity to tee off a little bit and pushing people off the wall you saw that block by panky he's got his man all the way back in the end zone already [Applause] well now has 71 yards we told you he needs just 73 to get the 1000 and touchdown would get it [Applause] this is Bell would get there first along with Schultz I think it's tough when you try to run wide down on the goal line because the pursuit can take you all the way to the to the sidelines now that's what basically happens here with the Rams is the pursuit of the defense of the Patriots really strings the play out and all of a sudden Greg Bell comes around the corner and he has no help nobody to run interference for him [Applause] formation by the Rams Everett the throw does [Applause] flavors hands that's what he wants to know in all this time I thought Roberto Durant was hands in stone but watch this play this passes right into his hands now Jim ever put some nice little touch understand because he's down there close he's got to feather it in there and that's whatever it does and the mone just simply drops our started looking back before he had hit the ball and didn't look it in and tuck it away Mike Lansford comes off for a 19 yard field goal and the Rams were all the board well Johnson had it right in his hands and drops a short touchdown [Applause] oh my [Applause] was already marking it down here's another look at it now watch his eyes watch where his head goes when he catches the ball he attempts to catch it see his head looked away and he didn't look it all the way in because he's trying to make sure that he's not out of bounds he's not out of the back of the endzone but the first thing you got to do is catch the football guarantee yourself that and then worry about being inbounds again watch his head he looks away just a second before that ball pops out

field goal than it's three nothing Rams Mike Lansford to kick off the gorge wisely and Irving fryer [Applause] territory at the 40-yard line finally run out by Jerry brave 48-yard returned by Irving Breyer I was talking to urban Frey yesterday and he said you know he's finally starting to come back into formula but he's had a lot of problems with injuries this season and he said one of the things that's really helping him is running back kicks in here he takes it right at that left sideline it does a nice job of returning the ball now one got it was back there was Lansford and that's who you saw fryer just make that a little justement there to try to avoid him and now he's getting some help from a great downfield loose on Lansford is the last guy down he's going to try to run past him first down Patriots at the 41 Wilson has time throws incomplete it was intended Pacific Jones Briar's also going to return putts today first time this year he did it only once last year well that's interesting to to watch that happen as a you know receivers in the last game of the season and the guy who's basically establish established himself like prior to to be doing those kinds of things late in the season shows you that he's kind of interested in helping his team out we'll update that Raiders giant score for you is now 7-7 that's a longest kickoff return of fryers career mrs. Stephens left side gets around the corner and bangs his way down to the 35 yard line knocked out by Strickland and Vince Musa frustrating here for John Stevens but he needs only 58 yards to move to 10th on the Pats all-time rushing list ahead of me Andy Johnson even the Patriots hope to win today John Stephens has to have a big day for him he's got to put some impressive numbers over the B desert they're running the nasty game of the Patriots of a cold day like this is just not going to get it done 794 yards for the year beats just 14 for back-to-back $1000 seasons from scrimmage total offense but he's had a quad problem all year and then a neck injury so he's had some problems third down and five for Wilson [Applause] [Music] you should have had it Wilson put that with a little bit of beef try to catch the ball when he was going on his out round we'll sit now two four seven sixteen yards crowd wanted him to go for it on fourth down and five and Henley is back at the tent Raymond buried a lot of talk around the New England era about what's going to happen with his coaching staff is he going to have to hire offensive and defensive coordinators what she does in half now is he going to be back all those questions have to be answered me the month of January it's a high punch punch that hits inside the 10 and gets a Rams bounce out to the 14 crowd doesn't like that decision they say hey your 5 and 10 go for 22 yard punt no return it's Christmas Eve in New England and a Rams lead it 3 nothing [Music] fight morning breath with scope scope has two powerful ingredients to kill 90% of the bacteria that cause morning breath Rikki's you may kiss me now let's go the best thing first thing in the morning here she comes the new body is coming home the firstborn child it's a new time for you there's a stranger in this house today you wanna say I do baby why she's so special to us are you wondering how JEWS beautiful blue eyes do you think that we'd forget you are you fearing the worst do you think we don't remember it's a good time you were free for lunch the cheeseburgers man somebody's gonna have to show with the road someone who's been around the block a few times [Music] 20 degrees on Christmas Eve in New England Sullivan Stadium Foxborough Massachusetts Jim grant Dan jiggetts with the Rams leading the Patriots three nothing with 457 remaining in the first period nine plays 73 yards was the drive that scored with the discouraging thing for the Rams was that first and goal at the Ford only got a 19 yard field goal out of it sparse crowd first down of the 14 it's back maybe the line of scrimmage at Reynolds makes the tackle [Music] the relay all tied up with Dallas and of course Green Bay in a race to try to get to the playoffs right along with the Rams in the Minnesota Vikings and everybody else quite a predicament for Green Bay Minnesota loses Green Bay wins they take the central [Applause] they have a better chance of getting in with the title than they do as a wild-card if they lose today when the Rams are in ever throws this way for John Johnson Fred Miriam we'll bring up third down and 11 come on Johnson that time was screaming to the officials that he felt he was interfering with but you know when you come across the middle like that you're trying to reach up for that pass you got to be aggressive about going after it particularly on a day like this because you're not going to get an easy call you can't tell me that the cold weather is not affecting him he had a touchdown pass all by himself in the end zone and dropped it six defensive backs now for the Patriots McSwain comes in along with Howard Figgins third down and 11 Everett rolls right throws back [Applause] more rehearsed makes the interception [Applause] fourth-round draft pick out of southern his fifth interception of the year versus number 37 TS on the right hand side he screen just went out of you now what happens is Everett rolls off to his right and tries to throw some comebacks got two comebacks going and unfortunately for him first steps in front of this when that Hurst is a rookie everybody said hey well he's going to really be tested today because those Rams receivers but when we talked to him yesterday he didn't seem too scared about the whole situation he recognized his feet he says a mikvah tested this season so far Everett's thrown two interceptions today first down at the 25 the right side inside the 20 the 19 you know they go back to to Hearst Morrie's Hearst they call him Elmer and the reason why is because they say he has such great hands it's like he has blue hands so telomers blue you know and you saw that on that interception that's a tough ball to break on and he did it and made the interception for the day trips to the key he leads the Patriots and interceptions that was his fit he says sometimes he guesses and gets beaten ever except we're going to make him fight so far Everett's thrown two INTs at second down and four Stevens nice cut it's [Applause] Fred Strickland filing trip seam up it's been saying that John Stevens really hasn't run well since he ran into fuller from the 49ers earlier this season really it had an effect on him a deleterious effect now you see him coming out on that right side he's cutting in is looking pretty good looking very comfortable as he's running the ball today [Applause] first down Patriots [Applause] Stephens has new in the one time he know where to hide killed got there first along with over Orochi [Applause] Shawn Smith looked like he wanted to go for the ride for a little video he just got hit to the Rams number 97 there and he just stayed on him for about 2 or 3 seconds longer than he probably should have Athene today you know you got a first impressions of lasting one so you want to make sure that the coach knows you're doing your job loss of three it'll be second down in 13 at the 14 yard line that front the rams is thin Mike peel hurt his elbow last week's of the Rams don't have many folks up front [Applause] it's cyclical across the 33-yard line [Applause] just like that la gets it back 30-yard by strictly I tell you what there were so many Rams back there I think they had to draw straws and design they intercept this ball you see spear Clinton number 53 right down there now the fall is tipped back to him right there he picks it off and says hey look what I found takes off and runs down that right sideline once again Mark Wilson just tries to throw the ball dead in the coverage its tip finally roy hermann goering tips it to Strickland Strickland takes it off Hartly dikes back and takes off with it 1:53 remaining first period it's three nothing Rams he has a first down at the 42 [Applause] six yard line that big offensive line for the Rams is really giving Belle some good blocking up front today a gain of 14 and Belle's now over a thousand they can just wave to you said thanks to infer mentioning that that's the seventh straight year Robinson has had a runner go over a thousand [Music] [Applause] he's not going to stop there breaks a couple of tackles twists turns and spins his way out to the 48 you know coming into today the Rams wanted to put the ball up top early as we set the open and get the ball down downfield to Anderson and hold a hand and develop those guys get it into the end zone quick and take the life out of this Patriots team but when you get in a cold weather situation may be something the Rams are trying to learn is how to run the football because you get in these bad weather situations that's what you really have to rely on is your running game [Music] [Applause] second down the balls loose never gonna Jim Everett was telling us yesterday that if this defense of New England gets down on itself you score early on him look out because they can really get excited well sure you know everybody under is on the Patriots defense knows that they've got it you know they got a mission right now because they all want to be back they don't want to be employed next year so everybody thinks that somebody's got a lot out and take it easy because it's the last game of the regular season is is not really all with it these guys understand the fact that you know they're going to be evaluated at the end of the season just like the coaching staff is and the whole organization so you have to keep going at it defense ranks 22nd in the league in total defense as the first quarter winds down period [Music] [Music] every child should know the joy and beauty

the Rams held up all ten and a half minutes and that guy right there is waiting to get into the ballgame chances are he has a spot how technically it's cold as it heads three nothing la 87 yards rushing for the Rams with 200 sections that Everett's throne loss of three in the last play so it's third down and nine to start in the second period flipper Anderson runs out of bounds at the 40-yard line or just near the 40 and it'll be a first down for the right there's the time of possession we were telling you about the Rams held the ball ten and a half minutes and at first fifteen well do England's got the ball a couple of times on you know turnovers but they really haven't been able to do anything with it Rams had that opening drive that was very key before but ever threw the interception down there they go on [Music] [Applause] [Music] on first down they go with Belle at Belle's hit immediately breaks a tackle and gains a yard out of it but remember got there first yeah but he didn't wrap them up and I'm sure that Rimmer is thinking about that right now saying hey gee I wish I'd get my arms around him cuz I got credit for this stop that way he just got in his way and he'll just kind of trip forward a little bit Reynolds finally made the tackle well there's the weather in Los Angeles 85 degrees expected high today New England it's 21 wind chill factor is zero but those folks in LA don't know what they're missing people pay a lot of money for this kind of weather when they go ski in it Christmas time white Christmas in New England [Applause] he was still running his route whenever induct it off ever was on a little bit of pressure but not enough to to make him force the ball in like that eller came in motion and went back out on the whole yo-yo movement Jim just passed the ball out to him watch here you see it colored number 80 going in motion there now everyone loads the ball and Ellen has never turned around to look for it now the question is was it going to hold a hand down field or eller but they're both in the same area every now 5 for 11 60 yards two interceptions six defensive backs by New England on third down and 10 for the Rams they're going up top it's thrown in the direction of Ehlert incomplete good coverage by rod McSwain you know just a talent you think you're gonna cause a real problem for a secondary you know they kind of rise to the occasion as well and this time McSwain have been playing all that much this season with you watch it hanging right where they look down the sideline good coverage just kind of works into that receiving so I work me now and push it to the sideline all the time looking back for the ball Dale Hatcher is the Rams punter and urban fryer is deep for New England [Applause] [Music] zone for a touchback 40-yard punt no return and the New England defense is held again 1357 remaining in the half that still three nothing Rams even after sleeping for long years the Duracell batteries you know and Bob still give you the life you need there's a date that proves it for years welcome back to the Miller Lite all-star Super Bowl game coach wet is on the headset yeah can do some number of Pizza what's the address here [Applause] who's gonna win that case of great-tasting Madeline and flew to the Super Bowl the Volvo 240 has a reputation for surviving accidents and we at Subaru have always been impressed by that so we gave the Subaru Legacy wagon unibody construction like the Volvo 240 but we also gave it full-time four-wheel drive an anti-lock brakes because the best way to survive an accident [Music] is not to get into one see our Subaru dealer for details on the special value lease program our Rams have dominated total yard it's the only scoring goes for my Mac Lansford with a 19 yard field goal after LA had first and goals before two interceptions thrown by Everett and it's three nothing Rams now Wilson who was trying to go with a broken index finger now comes out of the ballgame he missed his last six passes he was only two for eight and now Grogan comes in well Raymond burritos he really doesn't see any difference between the two quarterbacks he feels that they're both on par with one another so apparently Wilson is not really capable of throwing the ball as well as he'd like to with that broken finger so Steve Brogan comes in all right so Wilson leaves two four eight sixteen yards and one interception we are informed that there's no injury to mark.wilson they just want to give steam drogon an opportunity to tell me to throw the football a little bit the old veteran just to line it up one more time [Applause] eight touchdowns 12 [Applause] first down at the 20 [Music] [Applause] [Music] well it seems to me if I were the Patriots out of practice that center quarterback exchanged a couple of times in the sideline before let Grogan ahead made to recover using Giants Raider score still tied at seven in the secondary rebate Dallas still tied New Orleans over Indianapolis for easy using Raiders touchdown people a one-yard pass they've seen those Giants : stands so they just threw it [Music] boys Detroit ever finished strongly second down and 12 the ball of the 18 Grogan on the reverse [Applause] Tony [Applause] finally stop by Leroy Irvin thing there though for the patrons was a handling the whole handling like Brogan that really falls the defense because you watch that defensive reaction they can't really tell where the balls going until nervous friars gathered in his hands now there's one tackler there he blows past him he blows past Wilshire and he's downfield for a nice run key there though being that broken hit that ball so well and really disguised the play second run of the year for fryer he's had big yardage on both governor it'll bring up third down and one the ball now marked into twenty-nine [Music] thanks has the first down Jerry Gray makes the stop Emily makes a lot of sense though if you got a big receiver like Hartly dikes me just there's that quick hitch pass out and catch the ball try to run over a defensive back kid since Warren about 220 or so so why not try it he's now caught a pass and 11 straight games he's got a pretty good streak going he had 10 catches last week totally started the last five games he's had ten first downs and 11 receptions [Music] straight ahead for a bat for you know it's interesting to watch the difference in the rhythm of the offense for the Patriots now that Brogan is in there quite naturally programs going to call all his own plays Stephens just barreled ahead tackle by showing Smith he was calling the place with the papers Flutie it's England the plays in right now but Grogan call all the plays here for the Patriots for a number of years of course he was a starting quarterback and when he wasn't they had Tony Eason here they allowed him to do it to this Doug Flutie talked him down in the field of age has been rather disappointing this season his numbers in that disappointing circle what's interesting is about Raven berry calls whether it's a passive run then the offensive coordinator decides whether what this plays a Goodman parent that bangs is way up close to the 45-yard line should be enough for a first down for New England I say offensive coordinator there really isn't offensive coordinators Raymond berry but he decides whether it's a run or a pass and Bobby Greer if it's a run play makes the call for a run her richard wood makes it if it's a pass play and then it's signaled in by Flutie and really when you think about a Grogan this year they offered him the quarterback coaching job here and he turned it down to play another season and certainly he's got to be entered into that mix that's an offense by committee [Music] rodent on first down is the Stevens still only species at the 48-yard line hello ins scooty bump where he looks somewhat detached from that old situation but he's really on top of the offensive side of things [Music] what is a manly guy so Bronx left I believe [Music] Raiders have jumped on top of the Giants 14 to 7 her line to Fernandes 30-yard strike second down at 6 for the Patriots [Applause] whose intended for tonight's news excellent coverage please by the left cornerback Jerry Gray and I think he hears watch great break on the ball number 25 he's working against hardly dykes up at the top now watch him break on the wall she is the wall clump in there gray is in there in the flash that's not good he's going to the Pro Bowl because that's Kahn he just kind of disrupts the vision of the receiver and gets it just on that elbow just enough that knocking out of Hartly dikes hands good look at gray six-foot 185 five year veteran out of Texas we're down at six rogon goes to the shotgun [Applause] Rams are in a nickel defense it has time and clothes over the very few [Music] it was very stiff anybody get it be stiff but that's like I'm surprised they didn't do more in terms of warming him up I was watching over in the sidelines and really didn't see him warm up at all before he came in Brogan down one four three total of four yards as you look at Jeff be be his last month 52 yarder and he's kickin to Daryl Henley and Leroy Urban good snap this kick is not pretty but it's effective [Applause] almost immediately [Music] 35-yard punt 6-yard return and skilled three nothing Rams [Music] what's your first priority miss Crowley well I'm assuming this product in the pipeline so assuming mr.

you like to see those big guys up front you doing some nice blocking born right there got some that gets another nice block from McGee now watch his high step right there little fake to try to throw the defensive backs off well so you look kind of good when you do that tell you what he's looked pretty good all day ten yards on that one bill now 12 carries 97 yards Everitt the throwing first down does has a man [Applause] [Music] the 34-yard line he was working on Fred Mary and the free safety and he had that great concentration to catch that too because he could see Marian cover numbers 31 he can see him coming when he's closing in on the ball now that one just keeps his eyes on that ball and catches makes a nice reception and Marian comes right up over the top another little look out of here Everett downfield through Henry L it comes back to the ball a little it works himself back in and makes a beautiful reception good concentration a gain of 25 first down at the 34 [Music]

a run me off I'm gonna stick around he says he doesn't talk as much out on the field as he used to he's matured a lot but he said he can still play he says who saves that energy for running after those waters see six defensive backs now for their wing [Applause] [Music] well I tell you what if more research is a guy that the Rams decide to pick on today they picked the wrong fella great coverage once again downfield this time on Aaron Cox reaches up slaps Aloha and I thought he had possession ever a little bit longer than he did because the beach has been able to scoop that ball up a little bit [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] Lansford does not wear a shoe guaranteeing that foot is cold he told me he said earlier stay down in the field says you know you can only kick one time with and then you gotta get him warmed up again kicking with his Xuan is like picking up a dime with gloves he says [Music] for years we've been telling you how the four-wheel-drive Subaru helps the US Ski

then look at the offensive line Lachey can you believe he's not going through Harris Bart Louis Brown some good players in there will get through the defense a little bit later Lachey didn't give up a sack all year New England's for possession three positive interception is broken [Applause] we'll say they will get both have been ineffective special teams on that all Jigga's team down Deion Sanders from Atlanta I picked him because he can run back punts kickoffs and he could make the all-gold mr. t starter kit team so he could give us some deals on gold as well Mike lands for the Rams the kicker George Seifert San Francisco is the coach that's the heater down on the field Oh neat one of those no why we have to learn a couple of those for this game looks like a jet engine second down and 10 to ball up to 33 for New England three step drop broken pipe solution he gets it back his hands are cold he went to pump I really should have been in incompleted pants now let's watch it on the replay though to see if that hand is coming forward here yes trouble getting the snap first of all now he's going to try a pump fake right there and that ball just comes right out here right that isn't incompleted pass his hand was coming forward that's a loss of eight it'll be third and 18 and I can't understand why that's not an incomplete as there are motion is definitely coming forward who's to say that he's not faking it well they'll take a no peek at it now upstairs well if they do take a peek they on and move it back to the line of scrimmage that's an ink completed pass once again I watched Brogan if his arm comes forward that ball comes out hits and then completed fast whether he throws a warning on a 30 yards same difference there it is pops right out there Royall Cathcart the replay official today when a name like royal you better stay up for they on the replay booth don't forget coming up at half-time Brent and herb will have all the scores and highlights latest information on the playoff situation for you and Brent we'll talk to bud Carson [Music] and completely back to the previous thought stirred down Howard row the referee makes the call after mr. Cathcart took a look at it and that is the correct call should have been ruled that way in the beginning we knew it all the time so it'll be third down and ten [Applause] [Music] to the outside three Robert Perryman made the catch [Applause] nice defense by Vince Lucia roughing the passer against the ramps [Applause] whistle foul unnecessary residence number 57 on the deeply [Applause] that's shorts buffoon number 57 the CEO George back there working again Steve Grogan now this has got to be something that is really drastic I were thinking in order to get the 15 yarder is worth doing right there and he just gotta hit him up in the face I don't know what else you expect a defensive lineman the door linebacker - dude that's a cheap call as far as I'm concerned it's a big call though because it gives the Patriots new life in RAM territory first down at the 48 [Music] straight ahead games three [Music] Sullivan Stadium Foxborough Massachusetts temper an alone with big Dan Jenkins for 47 remaining in the first half the Rams lead the Patriots three nothing scoring drive by LA with nine plays 73 yards first quarter it was first and goal at the 4 and this play appeared to be a touchdown but I want you to watch the tight end Johnson as he turns away and drops the ball and nanosilver a 19 yard field goal by Lansford events where we are three nothing LA the direction the moving crier Jerry Gray there on the coverage and once again excellent covers by the all-pro cornerback me hardly tax is gonna have to go to the store and buy a catch I think if he wants to get one or even every prior working against Jerry gray he's that both the motive the day and has done an excellent job that time once again the arm flies up and just tips the ball either Irving fryers hands you're just joining us New England and four possessions had three punts in an interception Wilson and Grogan both were ineffective Grogan now the quarterback two percent seven yards Wilson on the sidelines he has a broken index finger that he brought into this game he's two free six defensive backs now for the Rams Headley and Jackson come in it's third down and seven for the Patriots Grogan fires this [Applause] and that ball was thrilled with authority with authority into a big wide receiver you know when there's six more you cutthroat of those little corner backs like hardly nice low does here he's gonna come around number eighty-eight and watch them just come right in front of the quarterback jump up in the air again he has that great leaping ability that's what gets the ball to him gain of 17 first down at the 28 didn't have a great start to the season but is really come on strong for the Patriots of Lake Hartly dikes ten catches last week [Music] to not be too tough yards Kevin green made the tackle the captain is in the army during the off-season even to Philadelphia leading Phoenix 14 to 7 Giants on the Raiders all tied up in New York Dallas and Green Bay still tied

chick round one maril gain of 18 Merrill Douglas paid the price and the key thing is watch the back judge number 102 that's a sign judge what he's going to get taken out of this one that's a nice reception anyway by the Patriots [Applause] Merrill Douglas the side judge was level we've got the two-minute warning the Patriots are threatening believersí golden trail by three [Music] [Applause]

four minutes Brogan's got it moving two minutes ago [Applause] oh [Applause] to the 32-yard line tended for fryer and French Strickland stayed right front maybe innocence return of 27 yards you know the play was almost a mirror of the last interception of the Strickland gout except this time he didn't have to rely on a tip he just sits back there again he's going to drop back into his area number 53 Strickland watched him play back there sitting back in that zone eyeballing the quarterback and just reacts to the ball he never looks for the receiver simply reacts to where the quarterback is looking steps in and makes a beautiful interception on Grogan that's a poorly thrown pass it's Strickland's second interception of the afternoon first down Rams at the 32 big defensive play [Music] waste any time throws this one in the direction [Applause] it was defensive back [Music] coming up next at the conclusion of our game and the Phils doubleheader coverage continues with the rematch of last year's NFC Championship Game Chicago the 49ers that's coming up next and they scheduled that game at the beginning of the year they thought that would be big [Applause] still will be fun to watch second down and 10 at the 52 [Applause] reacted to at that time double-edged on them he came to the University of Notre Dame meetcha likes the beach I'd like to play volleyball like everybody in this stadium let's be at the beach today yeah he's playing volleyball this time down on the astroturf because watch him here he's gonna get a little upset with those defensive backs and the other patrons he just didn't appreciate that too much he goes after rolling James Ola hand now has 51 catches for the year is the second leading receiver for the ramps which is 10 yards of catch time [Applause] you notice there Tim those who never drop back again the hotstepper a little bit you know usually he's on a timing pattern we drop you talk about timing first time that went perfectly [Music] so Hatcher the punter opened fire this will be Friars second attempt the punt return position first when he really didn't have a shot it was a touch back went through the end zone and he won't have a chance at this one either it goes out of bounds at the 14th [Applause] 48 yard punt and no return 47 seconds remain in the coming up tomorrow the NBA continues on CBS the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Atlanta Hawks arrive 3:30 Eastern Time 12:30 Pacific the NBA on CBS [Music] I just handed a note from that Philadelphia game Roger ruzek on a fake field goal through it touch the 20-yard touchdown pass to Chris Carter and right now he will lead the famous part was 14 to 7 you know who the holder was on that field goal attempt Cavanaugh you think that maybe he throws the touchdown pass I can't fool you first down Grogan this is great [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 27 yard return Jerry Gray there are a flock of Rams over there when Brogan throws his ball into coverages triple coverage over there Jerry Greg just does a nice job stepping right in front of that away from the receipt we're taking it on in for the touchdown what an outstanding quarterback with Iran the Patriots have played so well to keep the score at three it's a big play for the Rams who need this win that even clinched the wild-card he's not just waving off the caper says no I'm hot now just let me stay hot don't want to put that cape on that's other bad happened to me here his sixth interception of the year [Music] another reminder coming up at half-time Beretta nerve in at Warren studio down in New York with all the scores highlights and latest information along with an interview with but Carson that's not Prince foot is it [Music] that's a foot of Mike Lance with the kicker for the Rams there's a lot of people in Southern California that wanted to be checked the weather report before he came out Lansford took that shoe off yesterday of practice to go out and kick the field goal he came back out grabbed it hid it from you did I told him you did it too if he didn't like it hold on he didn't appreciate that it's nine nothing ramps as for trying to make it ten [Music] [Applause] [Music] the paupers toes when he's walking on that astroturf but what's the first thing he said yesterday when he came off the field that hurts forty seconds remain in the half the Rams now have jumped out to a 10 nothing lead Patriots defense has played quite well the offense has been shaky [Music] three interceptions by New England to buy Croghan one by Wilson Johnson the radar still all tied up Green Bay has gone ahead of Dallas ten three in the second quarter the Rams would be wise just a win this game and not worry about help from Green Bay like this soda you don't want to have to rely on anybody else to do your work for you you take care of what you've got to take care of and get in that way that's the best way to do it more importantly they're concerned with the Giants game because the Rams feel the win here today and if the Giants lose and the Rams get home field Detroit certainly has done a great job of coming back this season at the end of the season they're probably one of the stronger teams in the NFC Central I tell you what the two coaches you're coach of the year would be who well I suspect George Seifer but I think if you look at turning around a situation there's two coaches that really did it first one is Joe Gibbs down in Washington you look at what they've done the second half of the season and the second one is Wayne Fonts at Detroit I've done a tremendous job with that club I agree with both of those fonts really turned things around with the young team and Gibbs and all of his all pros get hurt came in with all young players they dropped the age of the team three years average age in the Redskins downs only 25 and they won one last six games [Music] Lansford will be kicking off for the Rams [Music] thirty-five George wisely number 80 earning prior a deeper let's just take it by the up man the 36-yard line [Music] and with 35 seconds remaining it'll be first down in ten at the 36 [Music] rogon comes back out and we asked ourselves at the beginning of the telecast whether the Patriots play for was set pride and certainly the understanding that they have to come back next season and as we mentioned before Raymond Burr he says hey I want you back here on the 2614 meeting I think we see Doug Flutie today I talked to him earlier David he's happy before the game start he said no even think he's really gonna chance to fly roses [Applause] [Music] [Applause] read the wigglin takes a timeout [Music] in July 1988 some said it was luck in February 1989 some said it was a fluke in April 1989 some said it was coincidence in November 1989 some said get me their phone number Prudential baked securities rock solid market wise gain of 19 on that last play twenty-nine seconds remain in the half that's ten nothing Rams and this game is important to the Rams the Giants are losing which means if it stays that way I Rams will have home-field for the playoffs and the Raiders still have a shot Dyke's now three catches in 40 yards first down New England at 4:44 rogon has pressure he'll be sacked [Music] he is the sack leader for the Rams he comes through untouched and takes broken down like every breed number nine anyone you're gonna see him coming from the left-hand side of your screen just straight power rush there never really got touched because he never got blocked like those kinds of sex that's like evergreens going to the Pro Bowl second at 19 this ball is nearly intercepted [Music] correction of dykes and badly overthrown third down in nineteen enriches that the Raiders early had a shot at the playoffs they can get a wildcard shot if they win and Indianapolis loses so that game in New York is a very important game for the Los Angeles Raiders in Indianapolis right now it's losing to New Orleans by a score of ten to six in the second quarter talking about coaches not a bad job by shell out there with the Raiders either done a tremendous job really has eight seconds remain Brogan out of the shotgun [Applause] [Music] [Applause] one second remaining on the clock Thanks gets out of bounds no the clock continues to move [Applause] now one official says he was out of bounds and the patrons have two timeouts look at the clock go on to zero so they're either going to have to put another second on the clock looks like they're going to put another second on you receiver going down failure you can throw your time on going out there going to put one second back on the dock Jason star Oscar will come on [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and it'll be a 45-yard attempt by strops ki-moon he's 12 of 14 this year as long as just 50 yards this is from 45 [Applause] there's a sister Ostia was halfway to the locker room may have to come back [Applause] [Music] [Applause] number 99 [Music] so that's the end of the first half with the score the Rams ten the Patriots three CBS Sports coverage of the National Football League is sponsored by Subaru we built our reputation by building a better car United Airlines

Eagles have an opportunity to have the merriest of Christmases because they lead the Phoenix Cardinals the score in that one is 14 7 no alcohol being sold at the bet everyone was searched prior to the start of the game that's because that incident over there a couple weeks ago Randall Cunningham rolling right going for a 15-yard touchdown now who in the world Framed Roger ruzek hit really clever played the Eagles I move an inch wherever they can find it here they land it for an apparent field goal attempt the ball snapped directed ruzek number seven and he lost a beautiful pass and Chris Carter he rambles in 22 yards for the touchdown now of course for the Eagles to win the division championship and they must win this game and get help for the Los Angeles Raiders and right now they are 1714 Raiders with the lead the Rams are in if they win and they are beating the Patriots as you know 10 3 right now at the half Green Bay and Dallas Packers win a division if they beat the Cowboys and if Cincinnati beats Minnesota tomorrow and I now let's take a look at Don Makowski and he gets hit by Jim Geoff coach and what a lucky break here for the Packers as the ball goes out of bounds and they maintain possession troy aikman with a bad decision here oh he's having a pretty good half but this is one pass that got away from Johnny Holland picks it off that six yard line of rambles up 26 yards setting up a scoring opportunity for the fakirs they take advantage of it right away Jeff query 14 yard touchdown you know he's had a pretty good season for the Packers what small school do you bet Milliken down in Decatur Illinois so it is 10 3 1/2 Indianapolis and New Orleans Colts are in if they win but the Saints are beating them at the half 10 to 6 Kansas City Miami these two teams still have a chance but they need help along the way loser is out so it's 21 14 sheets of the lead Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh and just moments ago the Steelers punched in their third touchdown and they still have a chance but they need help they lead Tampa Bay 21 to 10 Detroit Anna Atlanta 14 3 if this holds up the Falcons would have the number one choice in the draft boy Barry Sanders or something Wade goes off tackle hero in the draw played 25 yards in the first half he had unofficially I have heard nine curious 63 yards he's buying for the rushing title an entire national football may win a division title or at least a wild card next year and we're gonna pause and we'll be back right after these messages three local stations [Music] wake up to the 90s with Kathleen Sullivan and Harry

double-header Chicago at San Francisco and Joe Montana will tune up for the upcoming playoffs he will start at quarterback for the Niners case some of you may have missed it last I want to show you how the Cleveland Browns captured the Central Division championship in the AFC but for a moment they thought that they had given it back to Houston Warren Moon took his eye off the snap Clay Matthews recovering the loose ball for the Browns but for some reason he elects the lateral the ball off and the Oilers get a second chance and they make the most of it on the next play moon strikes for this touchdown Oilers lead forcing the Browns to pound it in on their last drive to win the division title eirick Metcalf was injured and I asked bud Carson about the injury I'm still waiting from for a trainer's report but there's a a chance he has a slight crack as I understood it last night and we've been on an airplane all night so I'm not sure I understood correctly before he has a cracked bone down around his his little toe we're not sure that it's a type injury that will need to be casted and keep him out or not I think it's really a matter of waiting up a few more hours he said to Cleveland Clinic now being examined but there was a moment last night I'm sure at the time you just said oh no and that's this play we're gonna take a look at now the ball is loose moon his eye off the snap and Clay Matthews is there what were your thoughts on the sideline my thoughts were when he picked the thing up that he was gonna lateral mark Harper who was one of our very skilled defensive backs and instead he threw it back over his head to Chris Pike who's 290 pounds and has never had a carry in his career we would have probably hung him from one of the propellers in the airplane going home if if that had been the deciding factor yeah I'll bet it was a very relieved Clay Matthews at the conclusion of that game but you get a week off you don't have to go the wild-card route and I'm sure that you look forward to that but how do you prepare now for a divisional playoff game you can't be positive of who you're gonna be meeting here for a couple days well we're not positive that's true we got a pretty good idea but we're just waiting now make a decision where to go what kind of warm weather we can get to heal up some of our injuries and try to find control a little bit of our whole program that has not been as good as we'd like it to be and hopefully make a run at it you know Louie happy to see coach Carson they flew all night they got into 6:30 this morning but the best bet they're punting the playoffs per an apology Buffalo I think okay I don't know what you knew but Bernie Kosar played pretty well in that dome last night and right now let's send you back to the stadium in a game you're watching here on CBS we're at halftime at Sullivan Stadium it's 10 3 the Rams it's been an interesting first half and that the New England Patriots have played extremely well defensively but the quarterbacks have struggled Wilson started broken finger and he really did not do anything well and then all of a sudden Grogan comes and he throws two interceptions yeah well the Rams defense gets a lot of credit for that I think that they've been playing very actively Fred Strickland two interceptions has done a great job for the Rams defense and they've been putting some pressure on the Patriots quarterback this game could be worse the Rams were inside the 10 as a matter of fact they had first and goal at the floor they squandered an opportunity right here here's the pass to Johnson the tight end Devon Johnson in the end zone just takes his eye off the ball just a little bit here on the pass from Jim ever know why his head as he looks away because he thinks he has that ball tucked away but you got to look at all the way in they had to settle for a 19 yard field goal by Lansford but then they came back Brogan really got his team in some trouble here when gray picked one off and took it back in Johnny gray Jerry Gray playing that kind of soft back there in that zone you see them floating back now he's gonna come up and just walk right in here there was a flock of Rams around there's a about three or four up and then great just kind of steps in and picks it off and runs it back in very nicely statistically let's take a look this will bring you up to date really tell you how this game is gone because the Rams 108 yards rushing just 46 for the Patriots yeah and the guy there's been Craig Bell for the Rams he's just been running the ball very well for the Rams today and now Jim Everett's had some opportunities to get the ball in the end zone but has thrown some key interceptions Madden Rams have a slight advantage in the passing game turnovers that has definitely been a key New England with three interceptions and the quarterbacks have been going back and forth as we mentioned with interceptions and one of the things to always look for is how well they're going downfield and certainly between the Wilson and Grogan you see those numbers there for the New England line is it's still a close ballgame it's 10 3 Rams our coverage will continue after this message and a word from your local station CBS Sports coverage to the National Football League is sponsored by zenith the quality goes in before the name goes on but good time great pace to McDonald's and buy Toyota's quality line of cars and trucks Toyota I love what you do for me [Music] [Applause] Christmas Eve in New England 1989 [Applause] and the Rams lead the Patriots ten to three Rams win today they're in the playoffs if they lose they need help Green Bay has to lose to Dallas this afternoon right now Green Bay leads or Minnesota has to lose to Cincinnati tomorrow night but the easiest scenario would be the Rams winning here and that would be it they'd be in there keeping a close eye on the Giants game because if the Rams win and the Giants lose and a Rams get home-field right now the Rangers hide up with the Giants at the half 17 apiece I don't care how much you get used to it as a bare footed kicker it's 20 degrees in New England windchill about zero and he doesn't have to just get used to that kid get you to warm weather down here well it's about three shades more ran down the game I can tell you that [Music] [Applause] was made by Bobby Delfino a 40-yard return we begin the second half and it's cold weather situation like it is you got to make sure that you're warmed up and ready to go and aggressive in this case two Rams Christine was just not aggressive getting down to you so a lot of people standing around and gets locked out of the picture if you think this is a MOOC view this year the scoring today came from a 19 yard field goal by Lansford for the Rams then gray with interception in a return for a touchdown and then Jason Starsky of New England hit a 50-yarder just before the half ended it's 10 3 Rams just underway second half tip grant and Dan Jenkins with you the numbers on Grogan this is Stephens those back to the line of scrimmage means a yard said early in the game that I felt that Stephens had to have a big game if the paper is going to be successful but they have so far he really has to Philadelphia up over Phoenix right now greatest Giants for Green Bay leading Dallas by seven Stephens 22 yards on seven carries it's second down any at the 46 [Music] logan throws over the middle that was almost intercepted boy was that poorly from but the problem was Kevin green was rushing broken and that's what the what really caused some problems were broken he's trying to unload the football and just can't get out there now the god is blocking his Douglass number 67 there you see doesn't get any extension and get the green off of him and keep him off for the quarterback he's got a slide out there Victorino trying to keep some cushion and he broke and had surgery on his neck and he all season [Music] yeah and don't look at the same kind of surgery dog is 14 years older than the same kind of surgery Rogen's back thrown and the dogs have been pretty good do now 4:46 [Music] secret code [Applause] [Music] [Applause] bourbon was the defender back there on ceedric Jones yeah but I think what Steve Grogan want to see once a trick that runs through that ball now see Jerkins had his problems with injuries this year but watch now if he continues to run and go through the ball instead of leaping up and trying to avoid the defensive back then chances are he's going to catch the ball and you can see Steve broke his reaction to it that would want to put us on the money really we need the speaking so bagels comes on to punt he had a 52-yard earlier fievel's gets off the Beauty spiralling punt that will be fair caught why would he fair catch it inside the tent well he probably thought it was gonna the way there was cover down maybe no there's gonna dine and it's been right there maybe about the 5-yard line that's the only think about he was 38 yard punt no return reminder coming up next at the conclusion of our game our NFL doubleheader coverage continues with a rematch of last year's NFC Championship Game [Applause] [Music] [Applause] fifteen to the 20 yard line by Craig bill finally stop by James before I say what Greg bill is really see nice great vision downfield now you see them making those little cuts the little the little slice that he'll make now watch him here he's gonna pull up to a little hesitation here now cut back to that backside to Devils shoulder movement that's what throws the defense off you saw the number 96 there Williams couldn't adjust to it and finally he makes the tackle downfield at least helps out on it break Belle's running very well today for the Rams 111 yards he went over a thousand yards today gain of 13 was first down in 10 down to 21 [Applause] Delfino and Delfino picks up a good chunk they'll give him seven hey let me tell you something though the reason why those running backs is running so well watch Jackie Slater number 78 that's an all-pro clock right there now watch that block that's a devastating block he takes out the whole side of that defense for the for the Patriots and that's why those running backs have those big lanes up in there to run that's like I'm Jackie Slater's in the proko that's what delfino's averaging almost 5 yards per carry Jackie around a while both came in at the same time came to the league same time I left a lot faster needed it was a gain of seven it'll be second and three misses Greg Bell big hole almost loses the ball and then goes down at the 37 yard line Rick Bell has joined some elite company in the National Football League running the football and certainly on the Rambla got a thousand here are clever their own going ever extreme for over 4,000 Ehlert clipper Anderson gone over a thousand yards receiving Greg Bell now with 1,000 47 yards rushing John Robinson has had a thousand yard rusher seven straight years with the Rams [Applause] they've become more of a passing team with a maturation of every first down at the 37 this is Everett close [Applause] [Music] [Music] at least giving credit for going down here on the Scholastic I've been picking this ball up never throws this one just a little low now because Henry elet had gone I think if you put this ball up and walked it a little bit more Henry Owens might be head towards the end zone it'll be second down in 10 the ball at the 37 11:43 remaining third period any Sun that we had earlier is gone [Music] break bill bottle of a 210-pound blocking down to the back pillow once again slider to keep blocks on the plane whatever line of scrimmage in one downfield you see when they're walking back with Bell now watch Magee here number 24 ladies gonna make his block up inside as well then those are the first blocks but you see those guys getting down feeling getting those secondary blocks getting in people's way and keeping them off your running back that's the key to that running game on 16 carries 129 yards now for Bill we'll keep you updated on his accomplishments [Music] first down Rams he'll again [Music] [Applause] to the 30 Greg Bell all the way to the 22 yard line finally stop by Johnny Reb recording of 30 looks like Bella's down it looks like it may have just lost some hair and let's take a little break here just catch his breath you can set back there deep you can see down feel and make your cuts there's just a nice little bow hand down pops back up and cuts back across the grain nice run by Bill you know here's the guy who played at the University of Notre Dame and of course it was with a Buffalo Bill so they're like this is it's like a tropical holiday for him probably nobody thinks back those old Buffalo days well we don't want to speculate on the entrances what they're working on it and he appears to be in some pain [Music] we'll be back this isn't an end for a car company this is an ad for Zenith 35 inch digital television with premium stereo and the incredible experience of Dolby surround sound when you have a Zenith television like this you don't want to hurry home Zenith quality you know I bought my Toyota Camry because three separate mechanics Fred Jeff and Kevin told me the Camry was a really reliable car now a waiter's way he goes by the shop but he doesn't stop I can't believe you told him buy such a reliable car they were right my cameras been really dependable I didn't tell him you buy one I say they were reliable

the data is a program right 5,000 troops could be cut off [Music] it's outstanding [Music] we got out of the teens at kickoff to get up to 22 almost 24 degrees now it's dropped dramatically it feels dramatic effect 18 and windchill down near zero or below this is Cleveland Gary for a couple of yards I'm gonna go back to that tomorrow you know that's a nicer mom and I want to try to get that one in my bag and take it home Gary we buy that okay I didn't you've got enough Christmas gifts we won Gary first-round choice you know it's kind of tough to break into that back feel of the ramp when you look at the job that the 17 belts came over to the Patriots from in Plan B from Seattle was a starting player for them for about seven eight years got his first Patriots tour just last week you know you got a look at a guy like Robert Del Pino though he's an inspiration to a lot of players because he was the fifth round choice with all his number ones back there and all those stars in that back though he just keeps plugging away doing a great job [Applause] first down Rams this is bill [Applause] to the 7-yard line stopped by a river and Fred Marion materia Boyd you see how bill really set up Magee that time you know it looks like the sweep he lets me tikka this guy out and he breaks back up inside his graters and Giants tied at 17 and a half for the Rams at Green Bay Dallas score and the update deaf boy is now tied at 10 deck del Rio with a 57-yard humble return for a touchdown second down and 7 the ball at the 7th every gas pressure throws any way to completion touchdown Rams Buford McGee [Applause] his fifth touchdown of the year Rams like to use Buford making down on a go line indeed they did last week successfully and here they go again Jim Everett now watch Magee on this play you know this very difficult thing he's running away from the ball to make you nice reception it is able to turn them back around and tippy-toe into the end zone zone just squeeze it right into the corner past the pylon see him trip yeah but he came up last for the extra point yeah but that's dangerous and last person who passed another point at 17 to 3 Randall Stadium as they did back at the field a lot to see where this turf comes up with me McGee inches the end zone nice little sideline tip there and then you see that actors are coming up what a great stadium hunt [Music] [Music]

10 plays 92 yards took 428 [Music] Bosley at the 15-yard line breaks a tackle and carries it out to the 27 got a nice block that time from Irving Bryan over 80 tackle was met by Brett Ferran a [Music] drive bill now has 18 carries for a hundred and sixty-one yours 63 of them on that drive first offensive touchdown of the game the other touchdown came from Jerry Gray on an interception and returned for a touchdown and then the field goal by Lansford the only score of the day for New England was a 50-yard field goal 45-yard field goal rather by Jason stare off ski just before the half 916 remaining third period at 17 to 3 Rams [Music] first down for Grogan [Music] Stephen straight ahead for a couple of tough yards tackle made by French Strickland I believe the Patriots saw with the Rams did in terms of running the football and decided to go to their running game a little bit but not with the same results [Music] whenever you look at results in the running game you have to look up front to that offensive line said they're popping off the ball the book on Stephens this year is that it runs better in the second half that he does in the first mosy second down and nine [Music] Ram show blitz now pullback business to to food julu loses yardage [Music] Stricklen with a tackle you're talking to the gym everyday they said you know a lot of times when you're in this situation that coaches will come in and tell you no look let's worry about next week you know let's worry about this game win this one and then worry about the next one with John Robinson they're taking a different approach this year with the Rams you said hey look let's look at the big picture as well as winning this game today of course that's is important but let's think about getting to New Orleans too let's face it that's what we're all here for is getting to the Superbowl let's not lose our perspective on that as well third down and nine for Grogan out of the shotgun [Music] throws deep and it's caught for a first down by C Rick Jones five kids I was waiting to see if both feet came down his right one definitely did and I waited for his left the gain of 15 ceedric Jones is holding his wrist over on the sideline but he didn't hold it when he was making this reception goes up on that sideline out and makes a beautiful reception and gets both feet down now if he doesn't get both feet down the thing to remember here is if the defensive back forces you out of bounds whereas normally you would have come down in bounds then the officials are going to give you the reception and that's the case they're knocked out by Henley Jones still shaken up as first down Patriots at the 44 they're gonna review it to see if in fact he did get down but as you mentioned if he's forced out and they think he would come down well it's the question of momentum if the momentum of the hit takes him out then they're going to give him the reception if they felt that he really wasn't hit out of bounds by the defensive back then they're not going to give it to him they're waving to you Dan hey first time I replay guys away to me I'll see you do you see the hit right there Henley now they have reversed one decision today that was an in completed pass that they originally called after further away loss play stands first down [Applause] all right they need to open that window up in the replay booth let it get cold up and they're like it is here we won't have to have any decisions to make I bet you out to run 20 miles doing running in place here just keep my toes going I wouldn't drive 20 miles push down at the 44 backside pressure broken overthrows the intended receiver urban fire there is a flag down [Music] I think Kareem abdul-jabbar where they had a hard time catching that one but there is a penalty and it appears that is going against the Patriots Pryor came into this game with 23 catches averaging 90 yards on the offense number 68 10-yard penalty replay first down that's Mike Babb but I was going to say Pryor averages 19 yards a catch and that's the best on the Pats first penalty of the day for New England I wonder how many trips Mike batt the averages the game you know that's the kind of little technique suggest we'll use down there in that offensive window if you get in beat you know nothing beats a guy like sticking your foot out in front of him and not letting him get to your quarterback usually they don't see it they're not usually watching your feet it's been tough to keep the continuity on that New England line Paul Fairchild is out with an ankle injury Sean Farrell out with an ankle in of need so they've been banged up and they're moving people around first down in 24 Grogan hardly bikes and he's got the first down [Applause] the way this young man has played the last couple of weeks or the Patriots I think I'd be I'd be featuring him in my offense because he certainly has come a long way you know he didn't come into training camp until ladies sign late and came into training camp and Ray Barry said that he really felt that that's where all his problems started because he's trying to make the adjustment and he wasn't really in great shape when he came in but he certainly has worked himself into great shape as the season has progressed smartly Dyk signed with the Chicago White Sox left-handed pitcher he are AM 5.43 alluded to you they say would strike you out walk you're Hitchin this is Stevens old first thing he's been lugar what a play by kevin green his line back in position he really grabs him behind the collar just kind of yanked him down bad intentions the captain watch green on the right side of your screen number 91 he's gonna grab John Stephens around the neck and do a rodeo move one there he hops over a patriot back and now he just grabs Stephens and drags him down with some help from great give him a pair of cowboy boots clean and gray tag team in second down and 12 at the 46 Brogan's got company in the pocket he proves [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Irving fryer with his third touchdown of the year [Applause] reprise showing a lot of maturity here with the Patriots over the years you know and his problems early in his career but has really settled down and become a team leader here with the face rich [Music] 46 your strike Rogan - that guy fryer [Music] requiring number 80 in motion in the slot now he's going to come off working you got Stuart number 23 they just flat-out beats him on our go-round gave him a little out moved and just took off up the feeling Stewart trying to recuperate with no bet on that whenever he dryers got six points on his mark [Music] the Greeks of fans up in there to a Christmas present hey let me give you the football [Music] Merry Christmas and having a great time here at Camp nipper sake there's lots to do but I really wanna say [Music] swimming telephone home different singers we're going to town [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] introducing the 1990 Toyota Celica it's totally new shape will clean use your sense of design and the way this will stimulate your sense of excitement you love what it does [Music] Sullivan Stadium Foxborough Massachusetts New England has just scored on a 72 yard drive six plays it took 245 and Grover with a strike to fryer it's 17 to 10 this is Bobby Gulf Pinot on the return to the 30-yard line right now let's take you back to New York and Brent Musburger friend well Tim the Green Bay Packers were all even with Dallas after they fumbled and then they took the ensuing kickoff and marched down for this touchdown head West gets it and now it's 1710 Packers lead let's go back now to New England sorry frettin as things tighten up here in New England that game becomes very important for the Rams because if they lose somehow I'm here today to the Patriots they need some help from either Green Bay or Minnesota first down at the 30 to the 45 yard line tackle made by Fred Marion anyone think Greg Bell smells playoffs Greg Bell is running like he wants to be in the playoffs and Buford McGee in that backfield is giving him some blocks like he wants to be in the playoffs 16-yard gain bell now 177 yards on 19 carries he goes out for a breather he's replaced by Cleveland Gary in the backfield the lone setback 177 yards he should go out for a retread this is Gary and he's really tagged at the line of scrimmage the game - but remember baby pay recap the scoring for you Lansford hit for the Rams on a 19 yard field goal it was three nothing LA and Jerry Gray with an interception in return for 10 points Jason Starsky hit a field goal from 45 yards out to make a 10 3 at the half that ever hit McGee on a short touchdown pass and Grogan answered that the fryer it's 17 to 10 Rams [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] mm for Anderson [Music] with worries Hearst number 37 for the Patriots and finally gets a chance to bring one end there's a Giants Raiders for Giants now leading 2417 repaid over Dallas 1710 in the third gain of 13 on that last play Everett told us that person is a fourth-round draft pick out of southern deep takes too many chances they want to victimize so it looks like they're trying to set him up now they want to give him to fight on one and then go up on the top corner [Music] you know more research back in that seminary is not alone by himself when you think about the fact that he's got Raymond Claiborne back there number 26 they help him out and kind of be the field general back there those corner back she's not going to get in too much trouble Raymond's keeping an eye on things back there so you're talking to her right that gave you some direction now the Patriots don't blitz that much and they don't hide it what they do first says when he hears that blitz call he starts backpedaling right out of the huddle [Music] [Applause] [Music] come out try to wrote a sweet Greg please there's nothing really out there for me besides it just stopped on a dime give you nine cents change and turn up field watch again now the guards gonna pull out and give them a block outside that's Newberry sixty-six sounds like a beginner he says there's nothing there Doug Smith comes a frozen block sweet comes back up inside nice little bedroom there and gets into the secondary once more for the Patriots [Music] [Applause] and the Blitz game this time it ever couldn't complete [Applause] team's coming in a hurry [Applause] when they come up the middle like that the quarterback sense to pick out one guy I read him and say that guy is unblocked so I know I have to dump the ball up before he gets to me watched him Evert on the Blitz now he knows right now he's getting the Blitz is right in his way to see him jump up on without but to attempt a 50-yard field goal his longest is 48 [Applause] Patriot's upheld laughter kicking in the cold weather with the barefoot cries a 50-yarder he just barely misses it [Music] as mr. Graham's lead by only seven [Music] cold filtered never he pasteurized Miller Genuine Draft for those who discovered it's smooth real draft beer taste the world is a very cool place so tap into the cold cold filtered Miller Genuine Draft it was Dean withers personal philosophy of success we have a sacred trust to protect our customers but its impact was felt on California Street conservative policies on Lincoln Street and acorn street to put the interest of our clients first Dean Witter put principles before profit people before portfolios there are many ways to measure success on Wall Street we measure success one investor Dean Witter a member of the Sears Financial Network hey Mark may I borrow your car it's a v6 don't let the power go to your head the Toyota Camry v6 has 156 horsepower that makes for surprisingly exhilarating driving but please try to be mature about it whoa mark thanks for letting me borrow this powerful Camry v6 are you gonna go out and buy one today [Music] tomorrow here on CBS we have a Christmas winter sports special for you we'll talk about the Junior Figure Skating Championships and the World Cup skiing circuit and that's followed by the NBA the Cavaliers and the Hawks live from the Omni of Atlanta tomorrow here on CBS first down to England the ball of the 32 [Music] [Applause] Stephen straight ahead to the 35 there are flags down as you would suspect you saw the top of your screen I can approach me by the left side of that ramps defensive line but don't know if they're pulled off they're gonna argue that quite naturally well Green says they were yeah what else is he gonna say he also is going to dwell the penalty he expected go for the official I admitted I was off honesty is the best policy offside defense number 98 prize guard friendly leave peek first down did you guys have a pool when you were playing with the Bears every time you got penalty you had to put it in the pot yeah you know and at the end of the season we throw a block party to a person second penalty for LA New England has just one first down in five at the 37 [Music] mrs. Stephens around the corner and it'll be close to a first down Larry Kelm was forcing him out but good for suit by the ramps and there's a Los Angeles player down did you see what Bryan Smith did for the Rams over 96 came in and really just kind of took the interference out on the play for Stephenson compulsive scares everybody leading him now it's Miller down on the ground for the Rams John Miller is the injured player Rams traditionally have not played well in cold weather but today although they've been inconsistent they've played quite well maybe they've been hurt by penalties a couple interceptions at Everest roses but bill has been spectacular Miller's up to walking also you know every bump and bruise that you get in cold weather hurts just that much more if you're in Los Angeles playing this game sometimes those bumps and bruises don't hurt quite as much Giants leading in that game still you know J innocent a Giants game to score 2-1 yard touchdowns of course you saw earlier he was on that all jiggetts team and the reasons why I picked him as Guzzi is 32 years old and is rushed for over a thousand yards is you're a close to a thousand yards that's not bad for touring back whereas she liked to call him a geriatric [Music] first down at the 43 Brogan quick drop fires incomplete I'm not sure prior knew that was per him look like he ducked it looked like either doctor he got the alligators up into the most short arm because it he was the friend who's gonna hit him they came right into him right out of the break every fire in this area New England area he visits a lot of the tough areas of town and Joseph's not talk to young people about his early gang involved he was a young man and now he got out of it hood took himself out of a tough situation whatever talents become an all-american or a number one draft choice in New England hatred really come a long way as a man the New Jersey area building boys is better than mending men second down and ten at the 43 [Music] secret codes at the 46-yard line so to bring a third down and long Larry kill him on the tackle Wallace spotted the pages 46 it'll be third down and seven for New England not say this I think the longer the Rams allow New England to stay in this ballgame the tougher New England will be they have never lost the season-ending game here in Sullivan Stadium six defensive backs the Lambs broken on 37 fires of [Music] [Applause] says the first down jerry brain gym to go back to your point you're right though if you're coming and you know your head to the bosses you win the game the one thing you don't want to do is allow your opponent to start feeling good about themselves are really doing now as the patriots Hartly dikes on a nice reception there and now what's what starts to happen to you suddenly you begin to doubt yourself and your opponent starts getting pumped up and late in the ballgame they're home they got a short ride home you got a six hour flight back to the west coast so you don't want to let them get excited he has six catches today that one was for 12 yards and first down Brogan's sets and throws underneath to Stevens and Stevens has about four or five more you know I've been watching that right tackle from the matrix Roose Armstrong number 78 a lot of people talk about him as a guy who is another one that probably should be in the Pro Bowl is outstanding blocker Patriots who talk to their people and say hey this guy's been playing great all year pours it'll bring up second down and six at the 38 very methodical drive here by New England yeah they really just kind of clipping away at it and throwing the blow and they need to just not get ingredient just taking what the defense is don't give them one minute 30 seconds remain third period temperature continues to drop Brogan has super pockets elastic and sivir's is close to another first down Eric Siebert out of the University of Maryland fifty three receptions this year he's the team leader and a marvelous year for the Patriots I knew you're gonna get that pop in there for the University of Maryland but Eric severs told us you know everybody when he came in they told him he's gonna be a block denied in because that's what he has historically been of course he was that way with the Rams and then with the the charges before that but he said he came in here and he said don't tell anybody I'm supposed to be a blocking sight in let me catch the football he certainly has done that over the last over this season for the Patriots he said 35 catches in the last eight games Seaver says and he played the Rams last year so he's having fun here today against some of his old teammates that's his first catch here today for six yards says his strength is reading defenses isn't coming off the brake reading the defense and that's what allows him to get open something there Raymond berry really loves you know intelligence receivers [Music] we saw just how far they have to go on third down it'll be third down in less than one [Music] you're Raymond Burr in that offensive the Patriots you're going for this one there's no question you're going for it on third one but the problem is do you throw or do you pass I think you run the ball dikes has had 40 catches this year first downs but this offensive line has been banged up if you can't if you can't quarterback sneak the ball that far you need to reassess your offensive line well the offensive line has been hurt that's okay if they can line up and get paid they can line up [Applause] less than 1 for the Patriots [Applause] they are gonna throw their goat up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] or this one was tight as a glove down on a sideline and tight covers urban fried just simply drops who has a dye on it just slides right through his hands there's another look at it [Applause] just kind of drift right down and just go straight down through his arms right to the ground he's got to make that catch absolutely Patriots are going on fourth down they need one our formation to tight ends [Applause] [Music] and it's going to be against New England [Music] [Music] so they move the Patriots back [Applause] now what do you do number 67 family you're pretty much out of the range of any field goal kicker that's human so you figure maybe if you're in a desperate situation like the Patriots are you still go for it on fourth down and now you're forced to really go to the air first thing I would do is put dykes back in the ball game go with maybe three world wide receivers and quarterbacks deprogram figure it all out on the field it's used to make a no decision there's dykes he just came back into the ball game number 88 he comes to the bottom of the screen [Music] shotgun across the middle [Applause] so it makes up to disrupt the Patriots move the ball the chains move down and New England's drive is alive urban crime has been born with a life jacket on it just drops the ball comes back it makes a great reception here we're gonna get some on early Leroy Irving [Applause] clock continues to move in that 11 the third period [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the end of the third quarter here in Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro with a score [Applause] [Music] this is cbs4 like many people who live here my family has spread out all over the US from Ohio to Oregon

it back if Kevin green is doing his job when the backside squares it off and then comes back in and makes the stop that prevents even those running backs from breaking the wall back against your defense those a little subtleties that make your great play around recognize open doesn't bring up a second down and eight [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Stricklen the linebacker the people of charity I see how Brogan is not getting greedy though he's just working to the backs up wonder he's not trying to take the whole thing in one look with just very methodically working his way down the field the Giants have opened it up against the Raiders [Applause] rogon now nine 4:13 [Applause] has another force now [Music] meet tag Michael Stewart on that play the first family did the same thing in the same kind of situations short yardage situation third down go to Hartley dice on the quick hits fashion i watch broken one step back as his fired out the dice to see he stopped right on the line of scrimmage now he's getting a nice big cushion from those defensive backs for the rams because they recognize that he can beat him down field look at this partly dykes is affected 41 catches 35 of those four first downs yeah but that's like a layup there if you catch it in three yards you know for the first down that's not you just said it you got to catch it down [Applause] [Music] Seavers

clinch the Easter win in 27-17 over the Raiders la Philadelphia Minnesota they all control their own destiny and Green Bay is eliminated with a loss here in New England the Rams are trying to clinch a wild-card they need a win against the Patriots to do it but right now with 1141 remaining we're tied at 17 and this is the one thing we talked about earlier we said you don't want to let a team like the Patriots back in the game late because that's when they really get dangerous for you the Rams have got to get out and productive offensive ones to us he kicks up brown and Delfino this is brown [Music] the 27 yard line last New England drive when 68 yards 13 plays it took seven minutes 21 seconds that returned by Brown 23 yards the tackle was made by Howard Figgins the numbers on Jim Everett

bring this ball all the way back around and just simply who drops the ball as it just gets ripped out of his hands here and she makes the cut back right there James strips the ball away I think if L

down and 13 effort throws over the middle almost intercepted [Applause] to hold Johnson Marian was their number 31 as well two matrices good play on either side they kind of sandwich them and then slap the ball away lots of Johnson he's on the right side his feet just coming off the whole track pattern right there in the millions me the official gets in the way Bramblett gets in the way and Marian gets in the way [Applause] thirteen this first crowd gets loud Everitt going deep [Applause] forevers overthrow [Applause] that the patriots defensive back to made a commitment to themselves they tried not to get burned deep today this defense has plenty no fun in football game for New England everybody that believed that maybe the pygmies would roll over made a big mistake today to bury told us he'd like to go in a foxhole with any one of them they're fighters this is Hatcher to punt [Applause] it's not a good one but it gets a big ram's bounce and it goes all the way down inside the 30 and still rolling inside the 25 so an ugly punt turns into a beauty 54 yards and no return we've got 10 minutes 18 seconds remaining we're still tied [Music] Miller Genuine Draft I was hoping you'd say that cold filtered never eat pasteurized [Music] taste in the world is a very clear place [Music] this isn't a little quick trifle for it it just felt like a giant jackhammer hit the house the Allstate claims adjuster was driven down here and introduced himself as Roger he just took me around and consoled me and told me that we were gonna get a place to stay and we're gonna be able to rebuild and then he did something he didn't have to did he started climbing right up there Colin stepped out for this you know you listen to these ads about you're in good hands and in a few don't go

ever here in Foxborough for today's game we're at Sullivan Stadium Tim grant along with Dan jiggetts with 1018 remaining in the ballgame it's 17 old New England men big quarterback problems in the first half with three interceptions the Grogan's been red-hot the second half 12 of 15 150 yards first down at the 21 Patriots broken across [Applause] one thing that the ramps have to figure out down this late in this game is how they can get some pressure on Grogan Fritz Sherman's defensive coordinator for the Rams has got to sit down and figure out how he can send some linebackers in there rushing the passer and get Grogan out of the rhythm that he's been in for the second half a gain of 15 fourth catch for Jones its first down [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] a tough dude Zach will be by Alvin right [Music] don't forget coming up next game two of our doubleheader week 16 Chicago against the 49ers years after a disappointing season to think about that maybe they want a little revenge against the 49ers we figure that now's the chance to get it done [Applause] [Music] [Applause] second and nine goggle with a quick drop [Music] [Applause] [Music] when the Rams defense has to do champion they have to start getting up in the receiver spaces they cannot allow them to run these quick plants like you got to see how turbine fryer here about five seven yards down quick slant right in the cross perfect timing pattern for Steve Grogan he didn't really have to work himself that that hard to throw that kind of a pass I think the Rams secondary has to get up and get right in the face of urban Pryor Hartly dikes and make them work their way downfield you're saying more man less snow man coverage absolutely and start blitzing [Music] [Applause] Steve Burgin nickel and diming pretty soon you're talking about real money what he's doing right now nickel and dimed his way down to field five yards ten yards here he gets a nice run out at the two per [Music] [Applause] [Music] Stephens on first down [Applause] that tacular Stewart they are tell you something arm that time had another great block on the corner you saw him 78 out there working on that corner working against Wilton just stick him out of the play how do they get there so quickly but he's pull it out there you know he's coming to the far side I've been hooking up on that blind backer sometimes that line back will work walk walk up and then go up inside and in one that big tackle comes around it's tough to get around those about a $3 cab ride it'll be second down in five the 36 our bro has something to tell us while with some good forward out of bounds while the Cox was running bringing evolve back to the spot permit fumble we start the clock Howard looks cold here's the ball being bubbled so it [Applause] [Music] it's already out of bounce they could kept the clock running for that one [Applause] [Music] second down and five [Music] Stevens to the 28th will be just shy the force down on Fred Strickland stop him there [Music] you can see the confidence-building in this offensive line for the Patriots now they're starting to feel pretty positive about themselves feeling good about what the offense is Dorothy you get there in that grouping you start talking about hey what's working for you then yeah it's the great blocks up front I think I might have a fish here you start talking amongst yourself and all sudden that the you know that energy itself gets a little bit more positive in the game and then you you start hurting people like they're hurting this deepest right now of the rams temperature continues to drop [Applause] about 15 now windchill below zero third down and one Stephens is hit I'm not sure he got there but at first Owens hit he first it would be awfully close to that first down more here's the old left foot right foot [Music] [Applause] now you have to recognize Rams defense is playing no upfront they're missing a lot of people so what that means is you have to rely great deal more on your linebackers to do the job for you fisherman is concerned about the people he's got playing up front because it's not as regular guys but the same took by the same token you know those linebackers or people that you expect to be your leaders for you out there under six minutes to play [Music] great play on the corner by Leroy Irvin and he made Stevens pay the price was a corner mugging there Leeroy hurry he'll be on the right side he has green number 47 yes he comes up and makes the big stick you dream about hitch like that if you're a defensive back we have guys looking back doesn't see you come in and you just nail it and if you're the running back that's your nightmare right you Leroy still laughing about it second down and 10 the ball at the 31 [Music] out of the shotgun Grogan fires [Applause] you even got a dragon foot into the tippy toe when you get over there in that sign - it looks like dykes that time was in full stride he was taking another look at the D on the replay see if he drags both feet tries to get that other toe down there's one there's two [Music] look at it now PS kick those feet down got control of the football control of the football one two that's got to be receptive well they're not going to review it either [Music] down in Tim [Music] Grogan steps up in fires and tell them to see drewjones again there was good coverage this time by number 20 Daryl Henley understandably this crowd is upset and I'm sure rainbow berries upset about that last call [Music] there's an opportunity procedure Jones to get back in the game and that's a great defensive play there by Hindley coming out slapping the ball away so swarovski comes on and try to break the tie this will be from 48 yards as long as tis 50 [Applause] a smile from randy baron and maybe a Christmas present [Music] working to be the best they can be Jim Plunkett and Randy Fatah were teammates forever beginning in 1967 they played together for four years at Stanford and when Plunkett was the number one draft choice of the Patriots Fatah free agents followed his former teammates into England the partnership and magic that they had exhibited in college was there enough rows as these two longtime teammates made the Patriots the best they can be I'm thirty miles from the action but I'm responsible for a digital communication link between headquarters and Brigade if the data is a program right 5,000 troops could be cut off [Music] forever [Music] it's outstanding just when you thought it was safe to go on

whole office reaching into that huddle and give me one more together this handshake in there you know all the weight is on their shoulders right now [Applause] on first down Everett throws up those intercepted by Meredith did he have that ball right in his hands it was intended for the tight end Johnson bred Marian said hey if I had some hands out of caught that 131 watch efficient loading he

Schultz you go back in the huddle now the offensive huddle you tell your running backs whenever you hit the line of scrimmage cover up the football don't be looking it on the turf here because this is the drive that's going to take us to the playoffs we get in there for the touchdown but don't fumble that ball [Music] sometimes they're running back so you just block it's the play [Applause] the 14 rick has made so many yards breaking the ball back today it's been incredible here again he does the same thing heading out to hit the counter trait going where they're pulling that back side garden tackle Mason's a forget that I know you guys are blocking on that front side but I'm just gonna go right in behind even though the defense is overreacting and running out of position season that's Marian who was tagged and shaken up Bell near 200 yards now he has 199 yards on the ground in his career-high was 221 yards he's closing in on that [Music] here's Lansford look at the food he has on

the bedside line running faster and faster throughout this game he has had a tremendous day running behind that offensive line it's no wonder the three of these guys are in the Pro Bowl because you see them move off that line of scrimmage start punishing some people on defense and Greg Bell does a great job of running the football in understanding what the circumstances are if they get in and score chances are they're going to the playoff a lot of desire by that Rams office watch that line move off you see them right there at that white stripe now watch those feet move off that white stripe and re-establish themselves three or four yards downfield and Greg Bell just sensational all day long same kind of running Jackie Slater up front Smith up front Doug Smith Newberry panky we've done a great job to Paulo 80 yard drive seven plays it took three minutes and 33 seconds Everitt to Ehlert's 453 yards to the new england 27 1:55 remaining New England has three timeouts the Rams have

quarter on the football and they're still working on his side but it hasn't slowed it at all [Applause] 221 31 today what a time to deliver lands were taking off ronsley an early priority throwing they're standing at the 10 [Music] [Music] that's Milford Hodge number 90 decibels big guys finally get they had their chance to get their hands on the ball to seal heart she's going to take the ball with him New England has scored on its last three possessions two touchdowns in a field goal that's what caused all the problems for the Rams lateness game Steve Grogan came back second half spirits veteran didn't let the first half shake him up at all and just came back in that second half we really put it all together Brogan head friar John Stephens scored around the end and ster offski hit a 48-yarder it's 24 20 Rams go get the shotgun [Applause] plenty of time now rose [Applause] [Music] three timeouts remaining a gain of 14 [Music] the shotgun again backside pressure [Applause] [Music] now [Applause] go down to broken of the floor throw the ball downfield George Bethune with a tackle and that's a good note call he didn't slide didn't give up and he was still in the field of blood [Music] it was some concern up here anyway that was Rams Drive and we showed you the temperature it's cold windchill below zero [Applause] [Music] rogon throws this one pulling in the problem was so the fresh strickland had a better shot at Hartly dikes stadiums in Foxboro but I think right now Hartley thinks he's probably in Boston [Music] the Rams bring in Darrell Henley and Alfred Jackson they go to their dime package six defensive backs even mine Strickland number 52 for the Rams has had two interceptions already in this game it's third down and eight at the 46 [Applause] Rogan waits as long as he can [Applause] New England with 107 remaining well he called for a time after the clock still movin now it stops at 106 Raymond Barry wants to put that time back up urban fire to swab the top of your screen working right now [Music] [Applause] [Music] see receptive against great that's why I said I believe in that Ram secondary have to get up in the faces of these receivers to challenge him a little bit they took three seconds off that clock from the time New England called time 1:09 the clock continued to move to 106 that's supposed to be home-field advantage in this he's supposed to get that clock working for you at home [Music] Green Bay one so one more door closed against the ramps now they put five seconds back on the clock and it's up to 111 like John Robinson whether you told us the other day about the officiating so that's more consistence and you know be definite about your calls we're going to make a decision just be definite about it and then I can live with it but challenging up and get you off your game like that situation [Applause] a sparse but energetic crowd in Foxborough like a Celtics crowd against the Lakers are saying beat LA [Applause] the Patriots would love to keep the Rams out of the playoffs but they need a touchdown to do it [Applause] he was intended for Hartly dikes down in the corner but he was covered will by number 47 Leroy Irvin tied it in a mosquitos wrestling jacket Leroy wasn't gonna let him get to the end zone he saw him cut in front of him and get in position to catch the football Irvin also had help from the free safety Newsome Brogan knew he had just lofted this one just a little bit too high pretty good lick by Kevin green [Music] clock stops at 106 second down and ten Logan's got pressure from green inside the 30 [Applause] second effort may have gotten another first down it'll be close right Strickland with a stop clock continues to move though well if the officials are going to sit to decide he has no they better stop the clock that's why I bring the ball back to feel and mark it off or stop the talk this case about 20 seconds has gone up the clock while they were deciding whether or not who's the first down now they finally stopped it that's wrong well they can always add them back on [Music] the decision is it's going to be time out for a measurement but why they stood decided whether to measure they let the clock run New England in its hurry up offense scampered back to the line of scrimmage and the officials just stood there so they'll bring the chains out [Music] John Robinson trying to go to the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years [Applause] and just that short Raymond berry a thoughtful professor type there's been speculation that he may not be back next year if he's forced to add coaches which victims I am was to do there is definite speculation that he may not return he was definitely a man is capable of doing a lot of the things rather than coaching football [Music] so they add to the clock verses that's okay that's what I only need it'll be third down and one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I don't know if we made the first down or not Leroy Irvin came up made the tackle it'll be close he had enough for the first then tried to sidestep the tackler may have lost some ground tried to dip outside there we just got the shoulder there drove him back now they stopped the clock immediately for this measurement [Music] New England still has one timeout remaining [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the Rams have to win to clinch the other way they can get it now is if Minnesota loses tomorrow Green Bay has one Washington one yesterday so now the ramps at the wind equation they lose Minnesota has to lose tomorrow night one timeout remaining the Patriots have to be thinking here get a baby ten yards on the pass and try to work yourself out about to get one timeout remaining [Music] 24 yard line tackle made by Green lint lead goes to its hurry up the defense is going to give you those passes inside sure Raymond berry wanted a timeout Brogan didn't second and five Brogan cross [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] nine seconds remain on this play he's down here to go on years in the suave t will move off the line of scrimmage watch the shot that he takes downfield now if he'd stayed down and they had to come out giving medical attention on this play the Patriots would have gotten charged with another timeout he got up and ran over to the sideline [Applause] a gain of 19 broken down 43 did take its last time in nine seconds remain those said saving him they taking with it the next season and a field goal won't help [Music] the Rams playoff hopes are on the line it's bursting goal at the four Eric severs is coming in Linda Austin is going out you got expected the pictures they throw on the football into the endzone he's there pass proceed be tied in [Applause] [Music] Merriman and Stephens head of the eye broken throws to the corner [Applause] five seconds remain very friars arguing that he was then he had both feeding let's look over here on the right side of your screen he's working against Leroy everything down in the corner he makes the reception and he is out of bounds [Music] we'll mix up there in the picture total they can't decide who's in and who's out it's second down and goal at the for five seconds remain Bram's needle into clinch [Applause] to the end zone [Applause] one second Ilyn one monoshot it was intended perceivers [Applause] [Music] down here here Steve Grogan we want to get a pic you want to try to rub one of those deep into that and the other one coming in try to get one of people to back picked off in the soccer ball [Applause] he cuts of fronts got to get their hands up in broken this is it [Music] [Applause] to the back of the end zone [Applause] the clips [Music] New England goes to five and eleven for the year [Music] John Robinson's Rams 11/5 and they're going to the playoffs [Applause] [Music] hardly dykes is still arguing that he caught this ball and was indeed in the endzone for the touchdown let's watch his feet as he comes right up underneath of the goalposts comes on that slant pattern Rosen's got all the time he needs to throw the ball blue dykes on the slant pattern he makes the reception there one step and then second one is out and he didn't even hold on to the ball so his argument is a moot point at this time well it wasn't easy but John Robinson is going to the playoffs they clinch a wild-card spot with at 24 20 wins valiant effort by the New England Patriots but it's the Rams headed to the playoffs once again it's 24
