and we're underway and the kick is a deep one into the end zone and we'll be down there for a touchback and the 49ers will have the ball first Joe Montana who rises to the occasion in postseason with a thirteen and four playoff record and the rest of the offensive front for the Niners upfront Paris McIntyre's Apolo Barton in wallets Brent Jones is the tight end Roger Craig and Tom Rothman on the running backs and Jerry Rice and John Taylor the wide receiver and a come out for the nickel defense on first to throw on first Mountain it's dropped by John Taylor he was there the Redskins defensively upfront Charles Mann Tim Johnson Darrell Brandon Marcus cook the linebacking corps Andre Collins the rookie who's played well Kurt Gouveia and Wilber Marshall and in the secondary Martin Mayhew and Darryl Greene of the cornerbacks Todd Bowles and Alvin Walton the Safety's second down and ten Raven Caldwell has replaced Darrell DRAM up and a 3-man defensive line or Washington on a quitter and Marcus cook hits him at the line of scrimmage for no game Joe Montana so much the key to this ballgame the San Francisco 49ers who did not play well at the end of the season their feeling is that they can pick it up in this game get back to playoff momentum if they're going to do that they have got to have a great game for Montana George Seifert 28 and four regular season record has never lost on a road so the only defeat suffered by the Niners the last two years have been here at Candlestick tomorrow Mike sherrard it was just activated goes in motion on third down and 10 Montana finds Jerry Rice [Music] nearly gets the first down very close to the first down marker Andre Collins and Monte Coleman a real war going on between Charles Mann and Steve Wallace some bad words spoken earlier in the year between these two and you can see right there a real battle as my tennis leaked slips out and they almost picked up that first down in the meeting earlier in the year the second game of the season man was shut out by Wallace and now berry Hilton who has struggled has the worst average in the National Football League will be kicking Joe Howard back T before the Redskins and a good kick this time by hope [Music] so the Redskins go on offense in the cheers of Provari Hogan here's mark rippin 13 and three in his last 16 starts with one of those losses to the 49ers the offensive front Lache Mackenzie Bostic Flores Jacoby Don Warren the tight end Ernest Byner is the lone running back when they used the posse of Art Monk Gary Clark and Rickie Sanders Jerald rigs opens up and running back along with biner Cary's they started with two tight ends Ron Middleton and Warren Charles Haley makes the tackle 49ers defensively piers Holt Michael Carter and Kevin Fagan their three-man front Haley Matt Millen Keith DeLong and bill Romanowski are the linebackers Darrell Pollard and on Grimpen in the corner backs Ronnie Lott back in action and Dave Weimer is the strong safety Ricky Sanders comes in three wide receivers for Washington's second intent reppin going deep buck was the intended receiver in collared his widow Stepford fell Bradish stretch him out early rippen likes to fire the balls deep his numbers not as impressive certainly as Montana's the thing he does best perhaps is to throw the ball deep he's a big quarterback he's a scrapper he'll battle you he does have a little problem with those short touch only six times in 10 games [Applause] [Music] riffing on a design rollout and his pass intended for Sanders and it is ruled a catch and that'll be a first down a gain of 14 yards for Sanders who dropped two passes wide open against the Eagles last week bill Romanowski on the tackle Sanders who's had some problems throughout this season is a man that they wanted to get the ball to quickly he comes down the middle here screen right there turns inside and they peel that he's so important to them that they wanted to maintain his confidence where they're going to review that catch it was a low play and read cash in our referee today and they'll look at it upstairs bill Fetty is the replay official from that angle that looked like a good catch Ricky Sanders is a great athlete and talking to Charlie Taylor Charlie said he has had a very positive week of work this week if you by the replay official will play Stan's first [Applause] Joe Gibbs with a very impressive playoff record of 12 wins and 3 defeats holy Don Shula and Chuck NOLA for playoff victories and that man first and ten for the Redskins on their [Applause] - picks up nearly five Romanowski again on the stop there's the man who's going to be the key offensive force for the Redskins as he has been down the stretch the redskins personality is to show you all the formations to show you the motions but they want to pound you with that man and that big offensive line they want to come right down your throat with the run game second down and six [Applause] a lot of formations [Applause] try to get the right matchup has a lot of time and his pass is fought by Gary Clark and knocked out of bounds into 49er territory it's a first down 11-yard gain and Don Bradman on the stop Gary Clark who led the Redskins in receiving the season Clark was questionable coming into this game a knee injury and ankle injury both but he is their big play receivers they leaned heavily on him all year he comes up with a big first down on those trucks he did not work out for most of the world we tight ends in there for the the Niners 44 [Applause] on the counter get some room it's inside the 35 and finally written out of bounds by Ronnie lock but not before a big game by Ernest Byner 16 yards and a first down on the Redskins Trenton good block by art bucks watch him as they run away from Haley and go at Romanowski on this play Rowley McKenzie an excellent block on Romanowski Viner just breaks up inside let's go back and look at that block by art month these receivers will jump all over both teams blessed with wide receivers who block effectively [Applause] San Francisco again Byner and he's thrown for a loss and that was hailey who night through diner is stopped for a loss of three arms we asked that question of mark riffin yesterday when you run away from Haley are you going to cut him off he said we have to if you don't put someone on him and block him he's going to make it from the backside and that is exactly what happened counter trey and he just ran it down from the backside Niners coming into this game with a semblance of doubt after struggling down the finish they had nothing really to play for the Ritz [Applause] he dropped by ripp and he's gone deep wide open his heart boat touchdown Redskins 31 yards and the man he beat was Darrell Pollard they were successful with the corner pattern in the first ball game this year and they felt that they could beat the corners here today Pollard working right here on monk let's see what he does does he give him a little move inside No fakes the out move and then breaks hard up field and Pollard bit on the first move the complexity the double move ate him up chip low Miller has not missed a conversion 41 attempts this year and he looked in the Redskins up seven and up his sword walk will caught the go-ahead touchdown last week's against the Eagles puts the Redskins in front with 912 to go in the first weapons [Applause] eight plays of 74 yards wide in this capacity crowd here at Candlestick market lights around here as we start overcast early but the Sun is trying to shine through them Redskins really felt that it was an advantage to them not to have a week off they come into this game high-low Miller kicking off the deep man is Carter dextra Carter on the 17 yard line and he brings it out to the 22 yard line it was interesting Marlon when we talked to both teams yesterday the 49ers a little bit tentative because the way they finished and having a week off but the Redskins came in brimming with confidence despite their loss earlier in the year it really is strange and you get vibes off of these players you wouldn't believe that 2-time Super Bowl champions could be nervous about this game but I think the week off did hurt them and there's no question in my mind that the way they played at the end of the season has created a lot of questions for the San Francisco 49ers [Applause] the Niners trailing they start from there 26 Jerry Rice and lotion pass and it's caught by Brent Jones the tide brakeman husky covering on the play and 13 yards to Brent Jones who led the National Football League's tight ends in yardage game this defense Ricci Pettibone their leader says they're gonna throw the book at Montana today three-man line for man live five-man line they'll mix the coverages they'll come with the blitz but the key to their success today is successful man-to-man coverage on those big 49ers and AJ Johnson has come in as a fifth defensive back first and ten Montana's past it's caught by Jerry Rice and Darryl green with a takedown [Music] it'll be a first down for the 49ers and let's see if a personal foul has been tacked on I think they're gonna call green for stick and Rice's head into the ground now green gives up six inches of height to Jerry Rice is one of the strongest receivers in the league but he picked him up and put him down this is going to be a battle we'll watch all day green against Rice Joe Gibbs wants to know why there they are at the top of the screen number 28 Darryl Greene working one-on-one on rice trying to force him outside he comes inside watch the end of this play and this is what is penalized for right there takes the man's head into the ground 15-yard penalty and the 49ers will have the ball in territory with eight minutes and 10 seconds to go in the first quarter Redskins lead seven another first down for Joe Montana and short drop under pressure from Charles vane [Applause] by John Taylor and a first down that bowles defending on taylor who had his best game of the year when they met earlier in the season in the slot number 82 John Taylor gets out on may you may use the man that covers him there but loses him as the second move gets him upfield responding to the scrambling quarterback these San Francisco receivers excellent at reading Montana first down on the Washington fourteen [Applause] Gregg was out two games with a knee injury earlier it injured it in the fourth game and rare in the goal gains 4 yards before Darryl grant brings them to a hole offensive coordinator Mike Holmgren told us yesterday we're not going to spend a lot of time trying to prove we can run the football we're going to throw the football but the running game is going to be important today if Roger Cray can get a cranky there's Mike Holmgren second down and six ball is on the 11th [Applause] and find a receiver and he's down by Tim Johnson that might have been a coverage sack as much as anything else in Tim Johnson who had two of the five sacks against Randall Cunningham last week there you need to get the pressure inside here's Johnson right in the middle your screen number 78 you want to put people right up in Montana's face get around him push him make him uncomfortable he was in that situation he simply had to pull that ball down after looking left and right Redskins have been very tough third best in the NFL inside the 20 jumpy gathers and Fred Stokes couple of the past rushers in the lineup Montana out to hairy Sidney Sidney short of the goal line by Brad Edwards he'll stop the ball at the one but it'll be first and goal they got the job done Montana was such a great sense of where that dump off receiver is although he really took a shot after he threw the ball watch it from the endzone Montana looks down the field first his receivers are not open what Chuck quickly goes to that outlet receiver and of course Sidney is an excellent third down receiver when he gets that football first and goal in the one Rothman and Sidney are the wedding day [Applause] Barry Sidney [Applause] get there try to go wide on the Redskins and it was Wilbur Marshall along with Todd hole Marshall had the first chin actually Sidney was able to get away from Marshall and almost leaked into the end zone watch number 58 Wilbur Marshall getting penetration here makes the initial contact but Sydney who's a strong runner pulls away and heads toward the goal line he got some help in time second and goal and he's in for the score [Applause] [Music] [Applause] kind of a forgotten man as a season wore on Tom Rothman well you don't forget about him when you need some muscle this is his term goal-line territory grasping in behind guy McIntyre with an excellent block Jesse's a bolo on the nose good job led the 49er rushers with seven touchdowns this year and now Mike Cofer with Barry Helton holding looking to tie the game and with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter the 49ers smartly come downfield and have tied this one at 7-7 [Applause] full guarantees overnight air delivery before 10:30 to the most people

Pro that tested veterinarian recommended the Merlin Olsen back here at Candlestick Park Tom Rathbun's touchdown is tied this game 7 and 7 and a similar scoring drive dat out of the redskins eight plays 74 yards the redskins 176 yards for their drive and used a little over four minutes Michael Cofer we'll be kicking off for the 49ers is Todd Bowles one of the three players back for the Redskins along with Joe Howard and Brian Mitchell [Applause] more overcast now is pumper kicks the ball it's a short kick and it will be Joe Howard that could slow the yard line [Applause] our brings it out just shy of the 30-yard line Candlestick Park in San Francisco the 49ers who have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs the Redskins scored first and the Niners have tied it up 7-7 part monk from mark Ripon 31 yards put the Redskins in front and then Tom Rothman went over from a yard out to tie it up and we have an injured down on the 30-yard line looked like it might be Middleton's the tight end [Music] [Applause] and if it is they're going to lose a very important blocker on that offensive line we'll be back being helped off the field was injured on that last play and he'd be it's very tough loss for the Redskins maybe we can get a chance to see what happened to him here here he is right here and watch for number 24 Harry Sidney coming from the left-hand side of your screen as they blocks on color there comes Sidney catches him on the leg there the extra tight end three wide receivers the Posse have lined up and actually they have four out there right [Applause] first and 10 on the 30 fighters stopped by Fagin [Applause] earlier in the year second game of the season they did the same thing the four wide receivers get everybody spread way outside and then take Viner and look for the hole inside they don't find the hole here as the 49ers aren't fighting get a good play from Fagin on the outside no gain on the last play second and 10 for Ripon on the 30-yard they have a stuff going Haley can't get to him and rippen's pass muha face fence and a first down Ricky Sanders makes the catch and gambling for the interception was Ronnie Lott and a gain of 18 yards so lot gambled on the play and Sanders with his second big reception of this first quarter chance to watches Griffin who's had some problems with his ankle said it was tender all week running outside look at Sanders how open he is that ball thrown late and what well I thought he had to face mask he may have first down on the floor at the dives into 49er territory and picks up nearly seven yards on the play Kevin Fagan and Charles Haley on the stop though the Redskins who don't have Middleton now go on to Jimmy Johnson is that second tight end Johnson almost the same size and an excellent blocker but Joe Gibbs loves to use those tight ends in unique combinations and this will take some of those combinations away from second down and four [Applause] and a play fake Griffin has time and his pack nearly picked off Ronnie Lott is running it back and they rule it as an incomplete advance when I say that Ronnie luck trapped that ball and we have a 49er on the ground injured on that play Gary Clark was the intended receiver and Don Griffin was covering and Griffin is the player hurt for the 49ers let's watch this play develop Clark coming down working man-to-man on Griffin on this play and it's as they go up together right here see what happens as they come down it looked like he came down on the elbow perhaps we'll have to wait and see time for Ripon to throw that football but that was not a great pass needed to put that one down inside here's Ron Middleton who is heading for the locker room the tight end badly limping he had been the starter in most of the games since midseason [Music] meanwhile on the field on Griffin has shaken up and the 49ers can ill afford a loss in the secondary jet Brooks is out and of course Ronnie lot has been hurt we'll take a timeout from Candlestick Park and be back in a moment the 163 back at Candlestick Park with the Redskins in the 49ers tied 7 and 7 injuries at bard this first quarter Don Griffin on the sideline defensive backs including rookie Eric Davis in the lineup on third down and four at the Niners 46 Griffin's throw and it's caught by Art Monk and he'll have a first noun ridden out of bounds by Kevin Lewis and a gain of 13 yards so the posse at least two-thirds of us getting underway in impressive fashion here in the first quarter Art Monk coming all the way across in motion number 81 you see moving across the screen and they're trying to bring Kevin Lewis number 45 man a man but Lewis got picked off by one of the other defenders giving month room to the outside I'd say it's so tough when you're man-to-man trying to work your way through traffic and cover man like my first out on the 30 not much for earnest Byner but there's a penalty marker down with two minutes in 16 seconds to go in the first quarter Michael Carter made the tackle on Byner looks like it's going to be against the 49ers Don Griffin has a bruised right shoulder and it is probable that the 49ers starting quarterback will be back for 78 on the defense five-yard still first down five-yard penalty Markoff against Pierce hope so it'll be first down and five and the ball is marked at the 28 of San Francisco at the end of this season Pierce Holt and Kevin Fagan the best pair of tight ends in your wide receivers on first and five and they run off of the floor wide attempt and Viner getting close to the first down is short by a yard Michael Carter on the tackle the Redskins down the stretch were impressive indeed beating the likes of the Dolphins and the Bears in the Buffalo Bills then of course the victory over the Eagles last week stumbled against the Colts but they're on a high right now they come into this game feeling very good about themselves they earned it without any question second down in one minor will get it to lose some Kevin Fagan twice has penetrated the line for the 49ers Michael Carter at the bottom of that stack Joe Gibbs told us yesterday the difficult thing about this defensive line they are so hard to keep blocked you can get a block on them but they get away from that block and get right back into the flow Carter at the back of that stack and Kevin Fagan just coming so hard as he does on every to make the stop Dennis Brown and why Roberts in the defensive line for the Niners on third and four Griffin's pants Oh for monk a bit high he was double covered that time and that will bring up fourth down one of the great matches today you get quality players Charles Haley 94 Jim Lachey both Pro Bowl bound whoa necktie tackle Brett cashton looking at that one and Haley has to say read what were you looking at we'll be looking at that matchup all day now a 44 yard field goal attempt by chip Lowe Miller he's hit 11 in a row and this kick is long enough and the kick is good so Jim Lowe Miller now has kicking searched 12 consecutive field goals and the Redskins regain the lead by a score of 10 to 7 Jeff Rutledge became his holder his only missus he's 24 23 is only misses from 50 52 and 54 yards so low Miller really on a roll at the end of the season chip low Miller was booting them from as long as 52 yards prior to the game [Applause] the winner of this game between the Redskins and the 49ers will advance to the NFC Conference final and they'll play the winner of the Bears giant splash tomorrow at Giants Stadium it all begins at 12 o'clock noon Eastern Time with the NFL today Lawrence Taylor and company against the Bears Mike Tom's act and Jeff Hostetler backup quarterback what I think I think they'll be in shirtsleeves for that one that can do the big advantage the Giants to be playing at home but playing without their top quarterbacks I give the edge to Chicago Chicago doesn't deem him nearly as much on their quarterback they're more likely to fend on Neil Anderson than they are on throwing the football 10 to 7 the Redskins low Miller will kick off Dexter Carter and Spencer Tillman back deep for the 49ers low line drive end over end sales again into the end zone it'll be down by Tillman solo Miller is kicked off twice and both kicks have gone into the end zone for a touchdown this is something the Redskins have done so well on special teams Wayne severe has these guys coming down they put all our little speedsters in and they have done a great job of covering kicks all year long [Applause] Joe Montana who only played one half of the 49ers last regular-season game against the Vikings did not put any points on the board and of course missed the New Orleans game with a groin injury the week before has completed five of six first down at the 20 [Applause] Barry Sidney and an ankle tackle by Alvin Walton no gain on the play they made give him a yard second down and that may be the last play of the first quarter Joe Montana looking comfortable one of the things you want to do to Montana you love to push him to his left but one of the good passes he threw earlier in this game was rolling left that's not good news for watching and that is the end of the first quarter with the score the Redskins ten and the 49ers seven [Music] and so I have even between the Redskins and the 49ers we start the second quarter with Washington leading ten to seven second down and nine at the 21 for San Francisco Montana passes buck by coming out of the backfield but Craig that is in Roger Craig has a first down a gain of 14 yards one of the dangers will be Craig as a receiver today Roger Craig the pounding he's taken in the last seven years has taken some of his running ability away from him but he is still a most dangerous receiver on these kind of passing situations and watch him pull out of this tackle by Allen Walt right here just drawn it up with those legs to pull right away and get the extra yardage krei goes out replaced by Harry Sydney first down for San Francisco on their 35 [Music] marry Sydney with a good game he'll have another first down Monty Coleman brings him down in a gain of 12 yards for a guy normally used as a pass receiver on third down situation now I think everyone expecting perhaps to see the pass here they were crossed up as they came right back they've moved the tight end way out on that play Brett Jones all the way to the side line forcing Alvin Walton as a safety to go all the way on covering of course what they're trying to do is take that great run support from the middle of the defense move them outside burst in 10 Roger Craig back in the lineup middle [Applause] makes up about three will bring up a third down for second down for the forty niners are you surprised that they are running as much as they are in this first half I think they're always going to mix what they do but their emphasis is going to be on the past game it's just a matter of when it's going to come they'll pop it but one thing you have to do when you look down and you realize that gives them the real chess match going on here Ritchie Pettibone knows that he can't really match up all the way across against those great receivers but he'll mix and match all day long to contain a second down and six Montana under some pressure no deflected intended for Rathman and Andre Collins down fielding for the second time today the Redskins got to Montana and put some pressure on Marcus cook number 74 coming from the top of your screen working on Bubba Parris a good spin inside and that's one thing you have to do you get there you bother Montana you pushing you shove him you let him know that you were there even if you were late [Applause] we're down in seven four wide receivers including Mike show art and Mike Wilson for San Francisco at an extra defensive back for the Redskins chased by Charles Mann but the pass is by John Taylor on a crossing pattern and a gain of 17 yards and another is shaken up Martin Mayhew made the tackle and he's still on the ground [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] let's go down and look at that pattern John Taylor just down and across with plenty of time for Montana on this play Taylor just gets it works all the way across the middle here Mayhew covered him until he got the break and there's no one in the middle to help him as he comes in underneath the deep hell for the safeties safeties try to jump him but he just got into a little bit of an area there where there was plenty of room in Montana such an accurate passer for the right first down on the 34 of the Redskins craftsmen in Sydney Litvak Harry's Sydney on a halfback option pass going for the tight end the reception of the first down inside the ten Alvin Walton on the stop so will gimmick by Holdren a pass that shouldn't have been thrown and a catch that you will not believe Walton has plenty of time you can fair catch this ball but watch it drops right into the secure hands of Penn tones right there is a remarkable get Harry Sidney is a former college quarterback out of Kansas and they're going to review this one it is first in goal and the question is did he have both feet in bounds a chance to watch his feet come down look at that right foot it would appear from that angle that his right foot may have been on the line this angle may give you a better peek at it yes the foot is on the line now question number two was he pushed [Applause] well I think Walton was going for the ball I don't well it's not a question of whether he was interfering with but would he have come down if you didn't push him I don't think it's a catch my personal feeling is they're gonna call that one back this is the second time they've reviewed a play here and here is another look Brent Jones with Alvin Walton covering on Harry Sydney's halfback option pass that one that one looked like it was thrown out of a silo straight up and straight down [Applause] play as little as a forceout its first down he was crossed out Joe Gibbs doesn't like that call it'll be a first and goal for the 49ers on the six yard line the rule is very specific if he had not been bumped the referee is saying he would have [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] marry Sydney gets Rome for a loss of about five or four yards brakeman husky it was a firebrand one of the more vocal defenders on the Redskins defense in a loss of four yard number 91 right here in the middle of your screen watch him as he just drives up inside no one even touches him a blown assignment by the San Francisco 49er offensive line and musky does the great job nice loss on the play second and goal on the tan and the Redskins are going to use this opportunity to call their first time out of the first half so the Redskins lead the 49ers ten to seven but San Francisco is threatening and will return to Candlestick Park in a moment though the 49ers trail but they threatened with 11 17 to go in the second quarter assistant head coach but the defensive guru Richie pedal ball and this is where he earns his money that it is toughest yards in football and the ball right nosed up on the 10 so they got all 10 with a second down [Applause] Montana looking to throw at the pass was intended for Rathmann and it was Alvin Walton who got to a good pressure that time on Joe Montana and that will bring up third and goal Valon how is our friend Jerry Rice doing in that batch up with Darryl Green Green is all over him in this situation it looks like basketball coverage doesn't it tight man-to-man on the defense Bobby Knight likes to play at Indiana there's a man who's a little tight George secret to say the least yes mad about those helicopters running down and goal from the tent [Applause] Montana fires Jerry Rice cuts down [Music] a lot of traffic he caught that at the very back of the end zone Jerry Rice again the tight coverage the problem here and it looks like there's a turnover there they've got a double on him inside Darryl Greene turning him over to Todd Bowles but Bowles simply didn't stay with him watch Montana hey I don't think there are many quarterbacks that even try that throw started around and then threw it Michael Cofer adds the conversion and for the first time today the 49ers are in front early here in the second quarter but Jerry Rice's touchdown reception gives the Niners of 14 to 10 lean town passes in the regular year caught this 10 yard pass from Joe Montana and the 49ers with 1108 remaining in the second quarter lead the Redskins 14 to 10 Michael Cooper getting set to kickoff Joe Howard Ryan Mitchell barback Todd Bowles is in the middle we'll be Mitchell returning [Music] [Applause] and he gets upended hard after 22 and making the play was hairy Sydney a very physical game John check the umpire watch what happens when Mike sherrard comes in running a pattern damn this is a rough Bunch Anna's looked right into his eyes he's got a quick glimpse of rice looks back to the other side and then waits for the opening all kinds of time that's the key how close Darrell Green was first down Redskins from there 22 [Applause] as an opening fighter with a big game gets it out close to the 40-yard line ronnie Lott applies the hit but a 15-yard gain by finer counter trait why so effective for the 49er or for the Redskins over the years and that's exactly the play they run here watched from the right hand side pulling both the tackle and the guard but what they do here is pop the play right up the gut you've got the option of going inside or outside and that's what finer adds to this play first and 10 on the 37 of the and a play-action rippen's pass incomplete Gary Clark the intended receiver and Griffin who was shaken up earlier with a bruised right shoulder made the play man leaves the ballgame comes back in you got to test him out and that's exactly what Ripon did there one of rippen's great strengths his arm strength he rifled that football but Griffin with a quick reaction there to knock it down [Applause] second down and ten [Applause] now they open up to four wide receivers though one of them is Don Warren the tight end [Applause] and here's the handoff combiner going outside and minor his stop short of a first down by two yards [Applause] darrel taller than keep belong in on the stop bill macpherson the defensive coordinator for these 49ers very explicit he said the Redskins do the best job in football of spreading you out with passing formations and running the football that's exactly what they did they're four wide it's the same thing two out here earlier in the year Redskins lost that 126 to 13 they have a third down and two Pass incomplete bark was the intended receiver and that will bring up fourth down [Applause] 49ers defense holds and Kelly buh-burn will punt for the first time today and John Taylor goes back in for San Francisco good a high kick Taylor going to return it AJ Johnson missed him but Taylor can't go anywhere and is written out of Bounce at the 11 yard line by Monty Coleman a 40 yard kick by good burn Niners ball when we come back [Music] [Applause] Chrysler Fifth Avenue Imperial and New Yorker salon are all engineered with ABS brakes so you're safer when you drive with our hands-free visor phone you're safe from making a call our remote entry system means you're safer at night and our drivers airbag means you're safer in here in Candlestick Park in a divisional playoff battle and San Francisco leading Washington 14 to 10 dick Stockton on the Merlin Olsen and the Fuji book here today as well giving you these pictures from atop captain scott jennifer and gary fabian veteran pilots overcast afternoon [Music] Niners with a first down on their 10th ray Gwynedd motion Montana saina buy time and going deep for Roger crane the fine for 33 yards to match his jersey number Alvin Walton is saw in earlier play with John Taylor very similar to this where he broke away as Montana scrambles this is such a well disciplined team and that's Montana at his best what a great touch on that pass down the sideline excellent catch beat down in bounds Roger Craig doing a great job of catching the ball here today two catches for 46 yards and the Niners have done a good job on making catches right close to the out-of-bounds area the play is being reviewed it's been ruled on the field as a catch they'll think that read likes the idea that they're reviewing that two feet down very clearly I don't think that's going to take long to figure that that's a kid again Montana able to hit the receiver even though he was well reviewed by the replay official the play stands first time easily both feet in and he had possession so a first down for the 49ers [Applause] dexter carter and harry sydney now make up this 49ers backfield 35 yard line and it's Sydney so earlier through a pass I was caught by Brent Jones picks up three arts eight minutes and 20 seconds remaining in the first half Jim Hannaford with the offensive line of the Redskins sincerest form of flattery as the 49ers go to the counter trade play themselves they did a lot of this during the playoffs last year they ran at that last time with both the right guard and right tackle pulling in front of the play good numbers for Montana thus far 10 out of 13 out patience second down and 7 I'm Niners 46 Artur goes in motion and Montana going tied in Brenton who makes the catch Andre Collins let the ball go through him and Alvin won't need to save 48 yards but a blown play by the rookie from Penn State Collins has great position he's there to cover this play but he makes the turn at the wrong second here watch his head he turns around just the fraction late but not find the ball Brent Jones knew exactly where it was Walton there to save the TD but they're down at the 7 yard line and the 49ers the threatening north [Music] early first and goal at the seven Ragan draftsman and it's Tom our afternoon with the Kari and Kurt Gouveia nails him at the 9 yard line it's the counter tray again a play that the Redskins run against and run every day of their practising lives they did a fine job of stopping it Montana breaking it up in the playoffs as he has done so many times and recharging this 49er offense in the process this is the kind of football they played in the playoffs last year the kind of football they played in the playoffs a year before there was an honest question could they do it again hey they're doing it right now second and goal Ani and this will be an easy one for Mike sure are [Music] he broke his right leg [Applause] broken it several times reactivated last night catches the touchdown pass and the Niners lead at twenty to ten nine weeks ago they operated on Gerard's ankle put a three and a half inch played in six metal screws but what does he do he breaks away from Krypto baya number 54 is all alone and you just don't miss if you're Joe Montana [Applause] [Music] the mics are our football for two and a half people say I was lucky I say luck had nothing to do with it that airbag saved my life I opened my eyes meaning in the first half Mike sherrard a plan B pick up who was drafted number one by the Cowboys with an 8 yard pass from Joe Montana who has now hit rice and Gerard here in the second quarter and the 49ers lead the Redskins 21 to 10 [Music] Bofur off for San Francisco [Applause] Brian Mitchell [Music] to the 23-yard line go back and look at that touchdown Kurt Gouveia is momentarily distracted and what happens is he's supposed to take sherrard as he comes inside now watch kebaya what he should do is nail Gerard right there and not let him go free unfortunately he didn't get turned around in time and sherrard all by himself shoots across underneath [Applause] Montana was three for three on the drive [Music] they're 22 [Applause] back in the game for Washington [Applause] and carrying is earnest Byner brings it out to the 25 [Applause] [Applause] [Music] Viner is gained 51 yards on 11 rushes he has carried the ball exclusively for the Redskins thus far second down and six I'm Clark Gary Clark wide open has a first down beyond the 40 in a pickup of 15 Pollard and Matt Millen on the play as quickly as he is moving it's hard to believe that he is having ankle and knee trouble missed as you said earlier in the garage he has a great deal of the practice early in this week one of the things that always amazes me when I watch Gary Clark is how quick he can stop and start a change of direction bossy today has caught six passes for 103 yards in the touchdown by month I put the Redskins in front early first down on the floor [Applause] and Ripon has a wide open receiver and Ricky Sanders has it in 49er territory Don Griffin applies the hidden a pickup that time of 15 yards working on Don Griffin down the sideline man-to-man coverage from the 49ers here Griffin going to run off with him watch Sanders just get a little push right there at the end and he's lucky he got him that far away because boy Griffin came back with a vengeance they wanted to get Sanders involved and they have first down on the floor [Applause] on the delay finer gets about two trying to run away from Charles Haley during a good part of this game in fact they're running a lot of plays that they call locator plays get up on the field and they get to the line of scrimmage and they'll say okay we're going to go left Haley's on the right we're going left it's got to be a bit frustrating for Charles Haley winning rivers all at second down and ten riffin pass is batted down who might have been Kayleigh that it was here so coming into the inside beggin coming in but Charles Haley makes his presence felt he'll work on both sides but he's coming in over the top of Joe Jacoby here Jacoby gets a good push on him holds him up with the line look at that great timing right up in the air to take that pass down that was an easy slam dunk after yes it was yes it was [Applause] [Music] with 340 remaining in the first half rippen fires and it's incomplete Clark on another crossing pattern but the pass wasn't there and it'll be fourth down excellent defense from the San Francisco 49ers as they shut down another Washington Drive Kelly good burn we'll kick them back as John Taylor fair catch signal by Taylor at the 20-yard line a 24 yard kick so the 49ers will all of their skilled people and marquee players the defense got on where they are right now [Applause] in the last two years Joe Montana has been nothing short of brilliant in the postseason he's six and OH 19 touchdowns and look at this number a single interception that it is an amazing play operator and he's got two more touchdown passes today and no intercept first down Roger Craig with McIntyre walking and Alvin Walton knocks him away and the gain of only a couple Alvin Walt leads this team in tackles with a hundred and thirty eight on the season another find one there [Applause] forty-niners the last three times they've had the ball they've reached pay dirt all good drives now we had the opportunity to watch Montana in his first half against Minnesota that's not the kind of statistics that he threw up on the board as they were blanked in that game talking to the 49ers all week they said hey we're going to put up the scheme put it up to speed get to playoff mode they've done it 9 Barry Sydney out of the backfield a fancy doesn't get much out of it maybe a yard before Alvin Walden's Thompson it'll be third down and long for the 49ers as the clock runs two minutes and 40 seconds remain in the first man San Francisco 49ers very contempt you can take whatever you give them they remove the chains offense they'll throw those short casts all day long I think Montana more than any quarterback in the league is patient he'll just take what's there his ego has not involved one thing he wanted to do coming in after playing sparingly was to get a rhythm and he's done that [Applause] Montana trap and down he goes and Charles Maine has the first sack of the game for either team in a loss of six yards this is a man saying yes yes I talked to him just before this game in the locker room and he said I have all the incentive I need Steve Wallace talked about shutting him out the last time but watch him here right around Wallace number 74 and even though Wallace held him he's all over Montana well our two-minute warning is here at Candlestick Park man with the first sack of the game and we'll return in a moment to remain in the first half and the 49ers in front 21 to 10 but the Redskins will get their hands on the ball again berry Hilton [Applause] on 4th down and 14 his first punt went 46 yards in Harris Barton walking into the 49ers dressing room we have not seen Darryl Greene back on punch today and that was deliberate the Redskins felt that the punch would be short from helping all day long did not want to risk Darryl Greene on the short punt Jojo Howard is back now Helton will kick from inside his five and another good king pundit twice well and on the return from the 39 [Applause] was tripped up first by the long in he made the play well tomorrow it'll be the Bears in the Giants starting at noon Eastern on CBS with the NFL today and we are very happy that our colleague Pat Summerall will be back in the broadcast booth working with his partner John Madden and we wish pat the best in glad that he came back as quick as he did we missed him as surely did first in ten after 44 of the red twenty one to ten Ripon - earnest Byner [Applause] excellent inside-out pursuit from Matt Millen a lot of the thing that impresses me most about this 49er defense up front they are always hustling coming so very hard earnest Byner walks off the field baba tyre the trainer there to take a hold of him book said though he may have a stinger in that right arm he had problems with his and Gerald Riggs was informed on second down in 10 and Rick Pass [Applause] but they rule it a catch I believe by ricky sanders and now they come in and say incomplete apparently he bobbled that football on the way to the ground and incomplete pass here's a lot good officials working together rippin sips this football right past Romanowski number 53 who jumps for it right there now let's see what happens to Sanders he has it but since he's in the air he must control the football all the way to the ground and he does not that's a good call by the officials Johnny Jackson put the hit on Sanders and made him lose it Redskins with two timeouts remaining a minute and one second remaining third down even the ha as a wide receiver and dumps it off to reek [Applause] the sidelines and he gets it but he's going to be shy of a first down by about three our bill Romanowski rein amount about my buck for a minute that they may be going for it here but the Redskins and put their punting team on the field realize what the down in distance situation was he was only a couple of yards short on the first down when he took himself out of bounds so in his fourth down in two and good burns will kick in back as John Taylor [Applause] Tayler with a fair catch at the 15-yard line with 48 seconds to go the 49ers have another chance Redskins scored first monk from Ripon early in the first quarter but then the 49ers came back smartly and tied it up on Tom Rath mins touchdown Redskins regained the lead on a chip low Miller field goal and then Joe Montana went to work 10-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Rice then he found Mike sherrard from 8 yards out and that's the story is the 49ers lead 21 to 10 48 seconds to go in the hand [Applause] on the 15 first down Montana Alvin water runs amount of bounds and a gain of a yard a lot of teams in the NFL 43 seconds on the clock on their own 20-yard line they'll simply sit on it run out the clock the 49ers are not that kind of team they believe that they can score even with 20 seconds on the clock second down into Montana gets hit this pass was intended for Brent Jones and jumpy gathers put the crunch on Montana he jumped all over Joe on that play earlier we saw Harris Barton go to the 49er dressing room and Ricky Ziegler has replaced him in right dogs coming up at half-time the NFL today crew down on the field here at Candlestick Park Greg and Terry and we'll have locker room reports from Pat O'Brien and Leslie vissa third down and two [Applause] crap he's got the first now Kim Johnson on the stop and a timeout call by the 49ers they still have two remaining how much insulation do you have in your attic three inches six inches well the Department of Energy recommends r38 for most American home in its the first halves this year to get his teams on the board he's amazing I've said it before I've never seen a team that has so much confidence in their quarterback but he's heard that confidence over the years first down from the 29 it gets here's again and Joe is hurt Joe is hurt on that one the Redskins are getting to Joe Montana and getting to him and knocking him down you saw the numbers here's gathers again jumpy gathers on this stunt here will break away from his man that's Ziggler who replaced partner watch the ribs here and Steve Young is going to come into the ballgame if for nothing else but just to finish out the first half for Montana who comes out stop play for you you've got to come out for a single play anyway I would think with 30 seconds on the clock yo baby through for the half second down there Roger Craig Graig will lose a couple of yards on that play but he showed his ability to cutting and making the play was Collins and Mayhew for the Redskins in a loss of a pair there was an apparent upsurge in the running game of the San Francisco 49ers late in the year but most of that was running by Steve Young Joe Montana threw for 200 yards in the first half [Applause] 90 the first time these teams met earlier and that is the end of the first half with the score the 49ers 21 in the Redskins 10 and Dan Rather will bring you up-to-date on the events of the day after this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] great Mitchell downs it in the end and the Redskins will start from there 20 so bar Crippen who's been sacked only six times in the regular season none so far today in a team that has made its mark coming from behind this year they know how to do it I mentioned anybody that watches football has to respect for great coaching and both of these teams as well coached as any that you would ever see in this game equipment Gerald Riggs opens it running back for the Redskins from their worst starting field position of the game [Applause] which carries brings it up to the 23 Kevin Bacon making the tackle they can working all the way across they can select it as an all-pro by the national and honored I mentioned earlier that really feel it fierce old Kevin Fagan have come on late in this season to become the best pair of defensive ends in the NFL edging out Reggie White white Simmons back and Philadelphia very good speedy defensive end for and Fagin second down and six [Applause] [Music] Griffen will drive him out of bounds short of the first down marker it'll bring up third down and a couple Griffin shaken up earlier in the game and they are you looking at art monk one of two players in NFL history to catch 100 or more passes in a season Jerry Rice got to the 100 mark on the last game of the year [Applause] Brown has replaced him on third one I'm on third and one and the pass is incomplete [Applause] [Music] interesting that the Redskins throwing on third and one certainly is for a running team again you've got a counter your tendencies and you do it right there with the throw Kelly good burn who was signed in December when Ralph Massey ankle was released we'll be kicking the John Taylor short kick [Music] the Redskins [Music] [Applause] john taylor such a dangerous receiver back there we talked to him he's had a tough year injured with a knee earlier in the season tried to come back and wear a brace could not do that ty finally just said to heck with it took the brace off but boy he is such a dangerous receiver we've seen him catch a touchdown pass today outstanding football player you don't want to kick to him no touchdown pass rice and Suraj where the two sailors always a threat 10 on the 36 lay fake Montana trying to go to his tight end Brent Jones [Applause] [Music] forty-niners have made a living off of the opposition in the first half of their last three playoff seasons including today outscoring their opponents by a whopping 134 to 28 margin that's not fair and you know what else the 49ers who had always been quick starters had not done that toward the end of this season they were slow starters back tall during the night second and ten and the Joe Montana one of the rare mix-ups in the back field Joe Jacobi who came out of the game for the Redskins as an injured shoulder there he is Jim Hanna from there scribing some patterns for the offensive lineman third down and nine on the 37th the others has put some pressure on he's in there now [Applause] nearly got hit by scopes got the ball away to Harry Sydney but there's a penalty marker down let's see then they call him in the grass no just missed the throw but a quick one at that and Stokes buried Montana watch Freddy Stokes right-hand side of your screen working on Bubba Parris Montana with no receiver open there and there's Stoke what's it quick flip you test two quarterbacks courage and when he'll stand in till the last second you know that he's not going to blink Montana doesn't blink sorry Houghton having a good day thus far Howard number 80 and Mitchell number 30 are back we have yet to see Darryl Greene back there is a punt returner another good kick by Hilton here's Howard returning from the 20 and he's hit immediately Wesley walls made a good stop on Howard [Applause] [Music] so the Redskins will begin from the 28 yard line with the Niners in front 21 to 10 [Applause] presenting the Honda Prelude si and he locks bricks never get behind a camera without one [Music] so bleep it's my bread oppression and my way seafood club the best way [Music] take home a sub with lena oscar meyer ham or roast beef and be a hero high as Coors Light the official beer of the nineties miss count the reasons one silver bullet is the beer that won't slow you down - it's proved with pure Rocky Mountain spring water three it's got a neat silver camp four and five Coors Light is available in all 49 States and Canada and six the taste good let's keep all six reasons in mind the next senator Gerald rakes in provider who is injured of the Redskins ripping the throw on first down in the past one hopper to art monk so Ripon has lost some of that sharpness that he showed in last week's game against the eagle [Music] looking to the sideline for his place with all of the motion and all of formations all of the shifting seed on bro signaling in they really have to do a great job of getting them onto the field in a hurry so that the Redskins have enough time at the line for all the mechanics of what they do offensive ly breather severs left in the quick count second down and ten and rippen's pass caught by Gary Clark at the 45 yard line and ridden out of bounds by Eric Davis a 14-yard pickup to Gary Clark the redskins leading receiver here the three receiver stacks at the top and what is very difficult about that is anytime you get them moving together it's very difficult to tight cover them you try end zone although it looked like in this situation they went man the man but the quick count really hurt them they're waiting for the ship they just came out blew it off the wiser first down on the 45 of Washington Gerald reeks powers his way into 49er territory and picks up six yards on the play Riggs was out six games with a foot injury now spelling minor here DeLong and hold on the top on the stop talking to Pete swastik Center earlier in the week and he sets with Riggs in there we have the big back Jeff Boston plastic Santa in there that they used to have with John Riggins he's more like Riggins finer more of a fan or [Applause] dives close to the first down yardage keep in mind the Ray Brown has been in for the right tackle Joe Jacoby [Applause] since that first drive the Redskins have stumbled for Joe Gibson the Redskins the job is very simple we've got to do it their way but they've got to get something going we can't wait [Music] [Applause] as rape goes up the middle Kevin Fagan on the tackle there and I noticed that Ron Middleton who was out earlier with a sprained left ankle and came back before the half has been limping we noticed when he shifts he is hobbling he's making some other people limp in there too though he has put some hellacious blocks on some folks inside [Applause] first out on the Niners 43 [Applause] in Clark trying to get to Ripon in the pass is complete to art monk and monk gets close to the 20-yard line Don Griffin battles in so the Redskins running and opening it up in a 21-yard gain that is such a tough pass to throw bootlegging back to your left that means the right-handed quarterback has to throw against his bodies now watch him here makes it to Riggs going inside and steps back with vagin right in his face throws a strike right there to Gary Clark no to Art Monk covered on they have really gone after Griffin all day today monk has caught four passes for 70 yards don't forget Griffin is playing on twenty-one and on a reverse here's art month with ribbon blocking and art monk crashes inside the 15-yard line to about the 11 let's see where they spotted Darrell Pollard ultimately makes the tackle and a gain of nine yards art buff this is the way they get outside very often just a little hand off on the comeback there Clarett the guard out in front to get a block and right there was rippen's block he's 234 pounds bigger than a lot of the Rhine backs and not afraid to throw his body in it he's starting second down in Warren on the 12 going outside and Gerald rakes takes it down to the 6 yard line Pollard in lot on the stop Redskins have out rushed the 49ers no scoop there that's their game trailing 21 to 10 and reddening with 846 remaining in the third quarter they have just been able to take charge on the line of scrimmage in this job and get that running and going they like to run it inside but they have had several of their biggest plays out [Applause] first and goal at the seven [Music] gonna lose a couple Jim Bert leading the cheers from the sideline but it was Larry Roberts who snuffed Gerald Riggs on that play 49ers love to rotate they're big people keep them fresh in there Roberts who's normally utilized in a pass rushing situation was very big on that play but Riggs is not a great outside runner he's best up inside between the tackle and he showed you why on that last play second and goal wide receivers for the [Music] Jerald read gets back down to the seven yard line and it was Fagin with help from Romanowski and that will bring up third and goal such a quick front line for the 49ers and I don't think they were full at all by that play I'm sure that they have been warned early in the week when they spread you out like that particularly down by the goal line watch for the draw they were there very quickly on that Lawrence furnace did not start the second half and [Music] [Applause] - seven class is in five Johnny Jackson of the 49ers and they take over a big interception by Jackson stuff Saba threat and the Niners still lead by 11 a big one for the 49ers Redskins were driving and Mark Ripon now 12:23 a touchdown pass in an interception by Johnny Jackson who did not pick one off in the regular season and so it's first foul Niners on the 20 Montana gets it out Jamie Williams we can't hold on let's go back and look at that interception would appear right here we're going to get the receiver down and if this ball is thrown as he cuts I think that got a touchdown but Jackson reading the quarterback size gets the great jump and gets back there in time to make the play if Jackson coming for the wrong spot ever there he is you see him get the great jump on the quarterback size and get there in time Montana has thrown an incomplete pass in his last five attempts now in down in ten [Music] [Applause] now all kinds of targets Jamie Williams in a gain of 13 with Martin Mayhew on the stop [Applause] [Music] it's talk about tough the host numbers are unbelievable [Applause] good teams do not beat themselves that's exactly the way these 49ers play in the postseason here they are doing it again today starting from their 33 following the first down play by Alvin Walton [Applause] pickup of five yards [Music] [Applause] this is a time for patience if you're a 49er you want to control the football just work it down eat up a good share of that clock but if you're on that defensive line right now the thought very simply is we've got to force the turnover they'll be batting at the football they'll be looking for the interception trying to force that football so they get a chance at it offensively second down and five with five minutes and 20 seconds remaining in the third quarter Montana looking to throw and he flicks out to Mike he's hit immediately by AJ Johnson and a lost that time of three ours we talked about the battle going on between rice and green and it's still battling out there Green will follow him all over areas right there on number 80 Jerry Rice and watch him as rice drives inside he's right there step for step obviously rice just a good decoy on that point rice with a touchdown catch today it'll be third down and eight Harris Barton has returned to the 49er offensive line five of San Francisco Montana's path [Applause] cats Jerry Rice on a very tough catch with Daryl green all over it souls by showing he can make the tough ones as well confident quarterbacks are not afraid to throw to well-covered receivers especially when the receivers are as strong and his sure handed of Jerry Rice you can't cover a receiver any better than that it's a first now a lot of people lose sight of the fact that this is one of the biggest receivers in football in there coming back whoo are they reviewing the play see the 49ers don't miss a trick they had a sense that that was going to be reviewed they were quick to the line to try and keep it from being reviewed the play is being reviewed on the field it's ruled as a catch I don't think we'll argue from that angle here is the best view of it Green is defending him as well as you could expect and I'm not sure I think he trapped the ball I don't think he had control question is is it a conclusive reason to reverse it it looked like the ball had scraped the grass after he made the initial catch I think one of the other things now let's let Joe Gibbs shaking his head [Applause] twenty one to ten the store that's what the score was at halftime forty-niners on their 44 yard line Montana's past Brent Jones the tight end that a gain of 16 yards and the Redskins just can't get to Montana consistently enough time is the critical factor for Montana if he can stand back and read the defense get himself into that position step forward deliver the football you probably are going to get yourself eaten up on defense you've got to have someone in his face you've got to have hands up in front of him they're just not doing that here in the second half Brent Jones already is caught four catches for over a hundred yards first down on the 40 yard out Roger Craig hit hard now they're looking at the Polaroids from upstairs 49ers John Marshall the defensive line coach left side of your screen number 97 watched this hit on Roger pray picture perfect form tackle there jumpy gathers has done the best job of any defensive lineman to get to Montana actually sidelines in the wing first half second down and eat on the city a yard line [Applause] Tanna as an open mic so hard and a penalty marker down at the line of scrimmage cg johnson on the stop and we'll have a holding penalty against the 49ers who have not let the Redskins back in this game here in the second half thanks to their defense that's been the story of this one very few mistakes in this game both teams playing quality football [Applause] was shaken his sentence saying not me I didn't do it Fred Stokes number 60 Bubba so load on him look at him just goes outside the shoulder pads that's World Federation wrestling right there and then does the word sumo mean a pneumo he put him down and the worst thing is he end up on top now that that's adding insult to injury he's a big one second down and 18 the ball back to the 48 yard line still in territory in Montana quickly decides to call the timeout but the 49ers very much are in control of this game as we're down to the waning moments of the third quarter parked in San Francisco on an overcast afternoon the 49ers in their first steps of what they hope will be their third straight Super Bowl championship leading the Washington Redskins in his NSC divisional playoff 21 to 10 dick Stockton along with Merlin Olsen mark Griffin and Joe Gibbs talking for the next time the Redskins get the ball barrels man jumping off and quickly pointing inside to Steve Wallace saying he was moving full start number 74 on ya he was such a critical situation or this defense well tomorrow at 4 o'clock Eastern college basketball action on CBS Sports as defending Biggie's champion Connecticut ranked number nine tries to extend its 22 game home winning streak when they take on

John's Redmond st. John's is 10 and to Connecticut 12 and 1 lost to North Carolina to teach strong clubs tomorrow on CBS for second down and 23 back to the 47 of the Niners and here's Mike show our wide open work for sure are coming back to the surgery for the broken leg Darryl Greene on the stop and a gain of 11 49ers have already eaten up more than five minutes on this drive and their patient they'll take the half of that they get down that's now ten yards to go they're not trying to get that whole first down but this is a very important ther Drive I do not believe that the 49ers if they can get this ball down pick up the first down take it down and put another seven on the board I don't think Washington has enough firepower to catch them third down and 12 Joe Montana goes down softly if you can use that term for a sack whole bunch of Redskins around him and that will bring up fourth down we have seen a few coverage sacks on the day and that certainly was one we watched this play let's turn it loose and see what kind of coverage we're getting down fields excellent man-to-man and the short zones right there and no receiver open look at that right there look at the tightness of that coverage two safeties waiting down here in the wings for anything but that's just great coverage by the Redskins they forced the punts get the football back right here fourth down and 16 out of the shotgun and now Barry Helton moves back to punt formation Joe Howard came up to the line and then how to do a quick retreat and Helton gets off another good kick and a fair catch ball by Howard at the 10 so Barry Holton should get a hand he has punted tremendously today after slump in the second half of this season one of the most beautiful cities in the country and a very big offensive series coming up for that man Mark Griffin in the Redskins first why [Applause] play action back at the goal line is ripping he's got time and down filled his heart monk he's got it in a big game to midfield Don Griffin was beaten on the play at a 40-yard pass play to art monk having an outstanding game for the Redskins they have looked all day for Dunn Griffin in this kind of situation Pollard starting across and following but it will be Griffin who picks him up and comes down field and for mark Ripon who had so much confidence coming out of that game last week this has to be an exciting play Don Griffin falling down at the end of that but still managing to trip Hart to play before the gun and they do not and that is the end of the third quarter of a scoreless third period with the score the 49ers 21

[Applause] Rickman's passed by he has been a giant out there for the Redskins today a 14-yard pickup with Darrell Pollard on the stop how important is this drive sherilee important I think they've got to get points on the board and I think they've got to get a touchdown on the board you look up you realize you're running out of time 49ers haven't gotten any colder in this second half but they just haven't had the football as much and the skins have got to be careful that they don't get too greedy here the points that they've gotta be careful if they don't make a mistake big game for art monk six catches 124 yards in a first down on the 36 the Gerald wake nowhere and one of the better rushing defenses in the NFL stops him cold keep DeLong and Jim Burt back Fagan Burt and Kugler right now are the three men up front for the 49ers and Burt had his shoulder scoped just a few weeks ago happy to be back in and get a chance to play on that down he's been splitting some time out there with Michael Carter second down and 12 from here [Applause] who's claiming he was held Dave lemur was defending downfield but got no response from the officials again the Redskins tried to go with the quick count instead of going with all their shifting and all of their motion right here looking downfield let's see if he was he'll Weimer certainly did had a hold of his jersey on the back and that's what was chuckles talking about back but no class [Music] this is a big play for the Griffin's pass is caught and that will be good enough let's see a main hoppy Gary Clark gives some ground and depending on the spot the Redskins may not have first down and now they say they have it I think he got it but boy what a what a great play by Ripon again play-action holding just long enough for him to get a down field like hard to believe that you're going to buy play action at this point in the ballgame Griffin with a rifle shot here look how strongly an arm is and Gary Clark making a great test first I'll pass is caught by Art Monk having one of his better games of the season and the pick up nearly of nine yards Millen and DeLong on the stop art monks biggest day this year came against the Lions when he caught 13 passes for 168 yards in that shootout that went into overtime excellent job on this drive by that offensive line giving rippen time to throw the football second into gerald ways he's got the first down to the 15 Jim Bert on the stops for the Redskins who have been successful down the stretch with biner doing the bulk of the offensive threat first down on the 15 passes intercepted Griffin's pass intercepted by Daryl Pollard and I didn't see her whiskey and receiver anywhere near him Gary Clark was I think the intended receiver and either he was knocked out of that play or Ripon just did not get to read let's look at it on the top of your screen that's Clark going to the outside and nope he was held on that play grabbed at the line of scrimmage receiver driving to the outside Ricky Sanders touch the play you did not want to see rip and make if you're a fans oh he has thrown two interceptions in the end zone [Applause] and the 49ers take over and that's got a take just about everything out of this team would think Harry Sydney picks up good yardage Walton on the stop and a gain of seven it's got to tear your heart out your mark Gripen to get into the second half of this ballgame you got a chance to win and you throw to to the wrong jersey in the end zone heading down [Music] now you got to believe that mark Griffin will come back but in the short run that has to be a hugely deflating play for Joe Gibbs for that offense and for that defense as well Johnny Jackson Darrell Pollard with to pickoffs the Redskins drive - for Montana swing pass hairy Sydney they'll rule out of cash and defending was AJ Johnson that's the kind of played ask Montana about the running game and he's always said we use the past as a part of our running game the shorts grows to our running backs out of the backfield are just as effective for us as good sweeps or good dives or good traps 244 yards today Matt Millen talking and talking with Bill Macpherson upstairs third down an interception by and the linebacker with the first turnover of the game for the Washington Redskins brings it inside the 20-yard line so let's see if that gives the Redskins a spark and a return of 16 yards and on a day when it looked like Montana was not going to make any mistakes he makes one in his own territory by Coleman right there gets the hook and again we've seen a lot of jerseys grabbed on by today Holmen getting a little caboose right there hold himself in picked up the interception so Mark Griffin has another chance and he starts from the 19 of San Francisco to go on the fourth quarter we will lose Kevin Fagan was the first then Haley and Romanowski and a loss of 3 yards Megan in your face and he's been there all day long left high side of your screen here he is watch him drive right up on this play look how quickly he gets off Lachey that's the thing that these defensive linemen for their 49ers have done so well is disengage from those blocks and make the Quick Reaction and make the tackle they hustle defensive players on the field on second and 13 art monk with a catch up the middle and drives inside the 15 Romanowski and lock on the stop and a gain of 8 yards that time where would the Redskins be today with that without that man art much well when you're in trouble you go to your veteran you go to your leadership that's what heart-lung cares well even by 11:00 but they need to score a touchdown he knew this is four down territory to you [Applause] timeless ballgame burden dangerous Ronna hazing intent tended for Sanders but there were two 49er defenders including Ronnie Lott and if that pass had been a little higher that might have been intercepted might have it that and light right there to get his hands on that football and grind it into the ground that you've got to believe that his presence in that secondary as always makes it difficult for those receivers coming inside fourth down now and the Redskins have to go for the yardage this may be the play of the game Pass incomplete intended for Clark and the Niners will take over on down davus defendant Clark Gary Clark number 84 Eric Davis number 25 its man-to-man coverage Clark saying it was interfere with I don't see it yet and Davis looking back to the football and that is the key they're not going to throw the flag on that one [Applause] if I'm judge were overweight the only dog we'd make would be fitters have repelled every Washington threat three possessions inside the 20 the Niners have scored three touchdowns Redskins have come up empty that is the story of this game first his head on the 14 Harry Sidney now the Niners are interested in using up as much of the time as possible last three drives have ended with Aaron passes in the end zone two interceptions and then the incompletion Joe kept said it yesterday deck he said you know we're really not as good a football team as they are if we're going to win we have got to play mistake-free football and we have to have some great performance in those individual matchups now they have made their costly mistakes here in the second half second down and 11 [Applause] [Music] get out to the 15-yard line well the 49ers 812 away from winning and they will play the winner of tomorrow's game which starts at 12 noon eastern with the NFL today the other half of our NFC divisional playoff matchup this weekend the Bears and the Giants talking to some of the 49er players and their feeling was that this game was going to be tougher than either of those games in the matchup next week I don't think that the Bears and the Giants who are sitting at home watching this one are feel good about that but Montana Oh [Music] somebody gets old open and Jerry Rice they're to the tune of 14 random words and Martin Mayhew on the tech it's a function of time let's go back to that head-to-head battle and the look right there as green slips on the turn and falls down and Montana who could have eaten his lunch back there on this play is not gonna miss the wide-open Jerry Rice Darrell Green coming in said this is the biggest game of my career going one-on-one against Jerry Rice who has caught five passes including a touchdown [Applause] first down at the 30 [Music] hit at the line of scrimmage me get a yard Tim Johnson and Johnson has been a big contributor to the Redskins wire Don trait from the Steelers and had a couple of sacks last week Redskins thought today would be different from the second game of the season they said they were better 49ers were a bit tenuous but it hasn't turned out that way that extra week off seems to have given the Niners good new life they certainly are healthy and most importantly we talked about it several times getting people back like Ronnie Lott getting Roger Craig back into the lineup that was important but the most important thing was the quality of 49er performance on the field execution that's what [Music] and Prague is hit behind the line by Darryl grant and a loss of three r's the Redskins took a lead and that might have awakened the 49ers early they tied the score on the next drive after Washington took the lead Lowe Miller's field goal gave the skins their last lead of this game and then it's been all 49ers Montana to rice for 10 yards Montana to Mike Schur are for 8 yards that's our score 21 to 10 with 520 remaining in the fourth quarter there's a man who could have added to that scoring summary had he not thrown the ball to a couple of 40 down in 12 he had three chance mr. three [Applause] [Music] green trailing and it's another first down for San Francisco 14 yards on Jerry Rice told me yesterday he said this is kind of like calling somebody out into the alley and you're going to find out who the better man is well it has been a real battle between those two today but when Montana is on target with the perfect pass like that and you use the skills of rice the way he uses them you're in trouble well if you're gonna give Montana time he's going to find a way to beat you through the air and the Redskins have given him time today he's scrambling more today he has scrambled a great deal more today than during the latter part of the season on the 42 Roger crane with a and he gets about a yard that's all break Mineski first man to reach him says watch for my timeout he's already worried about getting the clock stuff let's go back to zero Frank and Jerry Rice just for a minute Darryl Greene said to Jerry Rice or set up Jerry Rice he said hey let me tell how great a receiver he is he said if he's got the feet of a Steve Largent the hands of a charlie Joyner and the speed of a cliff branch pretty good package not a bad package all in one body [Applause] [Music] and rice is proving out something years second down and nine [Applause] forty-niners effectively using the clock Redskins leading to touchdown to take the lead in this game and the Redskins use up a timeout and

a first down by a Bali Yard and the Redskins immediately use a timeout with 331 to go and now the skins are left with one timeout and they still need two touchdowns to pull this one out working W the

Romanowski added to the special teams list also in on that play one of the reasons why hilton punted so well they stopped practice had him kick in the middle of practice with the teammates around it might have done him a lot of good for him this week [Applause] first down and his past north monk and out of bounds at the 22 yard line by Ronnie Lott in the gain of 7 yards how to drip and get this pass off Larry Roberts all over him watch number 91 coming in right here bang hurts all the way upstairs here well you know that they've gotta throw the football it's second down and three penalty marker down as enough for the first down pending the penalty ball Don Griffin and bill Romanowski that time on the stop with 3:06 remaining [Applause] big penalty call right here skins had enough yards for the first down and the penalty may be against the 49ers appear to be someone lined up offsides or moving before the snap defensively [Music] both sides number 96 on the defense 5 yards first I like the way he said first understand he stretched it out Dennis Brown toughest time in the world if you're an offensive lineman those defensive linemen don't worry at all about the run they're coming after your quarterback Brian Mitchell and Ernest Byner are in rippen fires and he's got art monk again he's got another first down and goes out of bounds to stop the clock with just under three minutes to go another 14 yard game and an injured way back at the 15-yard line is Senator Jeff Bostick Bostick who has had a healthy year and has had a tremendous season slow to get up on that last play [Applause] than the anchor fact he said two healthy years back sit back let's see what happens as he drives to the outside that's Dennis Brown and it's just head the head and I think he's just got a giant headache back there as he took a shot right to the front of his head and Dennis Brown the backup Center for the Redskins is Raleigh McKenzie who's been playing left guard so if Bostick can't continue the skins are going to have to make some shifts up front Jeff our rush grim would go in as Bostick comes out and just moved Raleigh over [Applause] but I have to do that for a play anyway as they have stopped play for Bostic on this particular situation meanwhile art monk has kept the Redskins at least within hope of this game with a brilliant game Bostick is up monk has caught 10 passes for a hundred and sixty-one yard including a touchdown and the one that put the Redskins in front early [Applause] and earlier today the Buffalo Bills ascends to the AFC championship game by beating the Miami Dolphins 44 to 34 in a prolific scoring game amazing to see that many points on that battlefield in those conditions good to see Kelly back in action thought I'd moved around very well [Applause] moved around well today Charles Haley [Applause] the Redskins 42 Griffin goes the other way and over Mitchell Mitchell was open for the moment Roback screen trying to stretch this defense out from this 49er defense we talked so much about Montana we talked about rice we talked about the great action of that offense this defense therefore they're the reason on a day like today that you can look at that scoreboard and see all those zero Jeff Bostick is back in the game second down and ten Michell out of the backfield and the versatile rookie who played quarterback Stephen game this year as a close to the first down Pierce Hope makes the stop and the hurry up offense for the risky Ryan Mitchell going wide not the first town now Redskins with one timeout left on Griffin made the tackle on that play Redskins the two touchdown to pull out this game tough task against the 49ers Griffin's throw send it for Clarke and Davis we broke up the pass in the end zone a little while ago defending tough situation this 49er defense plays zone anyway as a high percentage of their base defense and when they can drop way back and say okay you want to throw it short complete this short passes you've got them but they're not even giving up those short ones they're coming up and putting some hurt on people Kevin Fagan I think has had a remarkable day we called his name so many times on today second down in ten rippen on a roll pass by Brian Mitchell and we're gonna have a stoppage on the two-minute warning so a 5-yard gain to Mitchell two minutes in the fourth quarter we'll be back ARC where the 49ers are two minutes away from advancing to the NFC Championship game they lead 20 1 to 10 in the Redskins with one timeout left now the third down and five on the 49ers 42 yard line 49er cheerleaders song girls a little late getting out of the end zone on the official read cache in saying wait a minute you got to move the people off the field down there they grab their pop bombs and split clocks in read two minutes thank you the Redskins have been shut out since the first quarter Art Monk who's had a fabulous day put the skins in front with a touchdown catch it was 10 7 Washington after the first quarter and ever since then it's been all 49ers his pass batted down by Dennis Brown and that will bring up fourth down [Applause] Redskins will go for it they've had three solid opportunities to score in the second half but two interceptions by the 49ers in the end zone and then an incomplete pass in the end zone on fourth down and perhaps their last gas ripping on fourth down completes the pass to Gary Clark and that will be a first down to keep the hopes going for the Redskins they have one timeout left Johnny Jackson made that tackle [Applause] with as Gary Clark [Music] ground and Don Griffin puts him down trying to get out of bounds stop a clock and could not do it walk continues to run he had too much real estate to go to get to at the Anna bounds Aires second down and ten [Applause] [Music] that'll bring up third down [Applause] forty-niners again dropping everyone deep and they're saying you can throw those short passes I'm going to give you the chance to get deep and get the quick score and then try the onside kick 49ers defense the key to their season they won half their games by four points or less [Applause] third down in ten [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
