1990 week 4 Dolphins at Steelers

the ill and restric inactive today this the spread when they go to the wide receivers with the rookie Callaway and stolen who should see additional action today coming on so the Steelers first down Bristol with the time short range and Hodge could not hold on Bobby Brister going to the air on first down John Offerdahl with the hit barrel Hodge the Dolphins front seven Carl Wilson starting at left defensive end in place of TJ Turner a late arrival here last night back from his mother's funeral that took place yesterday in Houston John offered all the key to the linebacking core as a second and 10 at the 35 Jim Worley unhappy man coming off the three carries eight yards against the Raiders last week earlier this week asked to be traded and then kind of talked around that when the Pittsburgh still have said get out of here you get out serious about this back to the defensive alignment in the passing situation you'll see these changes they called it 447 Komuro Clint Thomas hotly coming on seven defensive backs involve this the normal secondary the safety man excellent job at Williams Louis Oliver to high graphics a year ago down and five just underway at pulling livers and brisker hold on behind the line and you could hear the crowd reacting on this quickie Suri's the right quarter JB Brown up to make the stop there were three guys out in the pattern in in Hill and malarkey are together no place to go and the other one is high it's coming out in into the pattern and here's Krista and when he's looking downfield there's no one open to throw the football - so he has to eat it and Harris Dan presents key a first-year player from Indiana back to putt and Tony Martin is back [Music] [Applause] but to be unsure in fielding that pot and the steel is that good covers a 37-yard pod Gerald Williams making the tackle on Martin here comes Dan Marino the offensive line the huge huge rookies on the left side Richmond wet first round draft pick oh six six 298 Keith Sims second round draft pick of 6 to 3:05 Smith and Paige are the running backs late duper Evans on the receivers first down at the 27 that's page 49 in motion Marino off the roll and able to complete for the first down a 15 yard pickup for mark duper David Jackson rather David Johnson the left corner on the stop now will the Dolphins go to the passing situation they go four wideouts along with Clayton and duper and joined by Fred banks Hanuman Jim Johnson Jennsen usually lines up in the backfield so the first out for Miami at the 42-yard line the Dolphins first series stop by the nose tackle Gerald Williams and here's how the Steelers line up defensively up front Willis Williams and Evans outstanding linebackers spearheaded by Brian Hinkle who leads the shooters in tackles and in the passing alignment Shanna's refer to it as the dive Aaron Jones Wayne Woodruff Eric Griffin come on Moreno out to midfield short of the first down picked up six on the play Tony page out of a separate page an excellent past catcher and a solid blocker well when you talk to the coaches and you ask and there's this rest of the secondary for the Steelers these are the guys are in there all the time Johnson Woodson Lake and ever but when you talk to you talking to Shirley yesterday you mentioned Paige to him Marvin you just started smiling first he waited and clock because that he does it all says he has been the biggest surprise of the season for Miami as a big surprise when they found his name on the unprotected list of the Detroit Lions third down and two here spent push to the marker tripped up by the right defensive end Donald Evans and let's see where they spot at the referee today is Jerry Austin they are calling for a measurement they'll make it by half the ball this will be a first down and Paul you have the good angle right on the 50 here it isn't easy when you're lined up right let's see if the naked eye does not live see that very nice first guest was right or we were hitting good huh I I would wrist on that one for it and there is Chuck Noll 20 second year as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers he was an assistant under Don Shula when both were with the Baltimore Colts and the late 60s first down at the pittsburgh 47 radar getting the protection sideline passing complaint Rod Woodson applying the hit on Mark Clayton Rod Woodson you talk about perfect position and playing the man Clayton goes down and he looks like he's going to go deep in Marino's is over here looking at him all the way when Clayton pulls up watch where Rod Woodson ends up right there perfect position played defense as a corner and he's tough last week Tuffy was punch the guy in the mouth was six foot six 330 pounds Fitzpatrick Rod Woodson one of the NFL's superb corner backs Don Shula telling us last night in fact he refers to him as the Lawrence talent of the Pittsburgh defense again Marino at the time but good coverage Cooper covered by Woodson no opening at all and Marino threw it away you know when you have Woodson playing that well and he said this is the best player on his team Don Shula did watch watch Woodson now watch him close here comes duper here comes Woodson if that ball is is catchable the only one is going to catch it would have been Rod Woodson you know Woodson still has visions of becoming a widely yeah well they don't still talks about the coaches no it's a third down in ten seventh play of the bride able to hit Jensen for the first down Woodsen on the tackle picked up 11 and Miami keeps the drive going you know Jensen last week just did not have a good game it was his first game back and didn't do well but on third down situation I know that the Pittsburgh Steelers gonna try and cover him with number 53 Brian Hinkle but Jensen is the guy that hit last resort Marino is going to find him because he knows that he is going to be open Paul you get the idea that the Miami coaching staff told the players during the week throughout the game against the Giants they are on another level they were completely strangled by the Giants Sammy span but a very short pickup Greg Lloyd the outside linebacker was right there boy Lloyd made just a super play he spins out and gets right into the play and holds it to a two-yard gain he also had Rod Woodson in with him but number 95 watch Lloyd here now he's going inside now watch for him spin out he comes back and look where he is look at the position he's in to make the play that's outstanding linebacker play he taking on the tight end you know the players going outside he he spins back to the outside and is in position to make the play a second and eight at the 33 no score first quarter five minutes gone by you know able to top it off combining with page inside the 30-yard line Donnell Evans on the stuff David little number 50 the linebacker came up to middle and no one blocked the Marino's pointing out he looking see the guy in the black shirt do we have white shirts on when you see a guy in a black shirt try to block him at least slow him down a little bit and as a third down and four the ball of the pittsburgh 29 yard line [Applause] and this capacity crowd of Three Rivers urging the defensive unit I [Applause] has another first down Jensen inside the 20 picked up 10 met by AJ Jenkins AJ Jenkins is Sarah but they they let Jensen come out of the backfield and really nobody was on him and they know that Moreno is going to throw the ball to him chance is going to come out to the right of the screen now watch what he comes right in look at the writing screen there he is now there's AJ Jenkins is there but he's so far off there's the first down you've got to put a man on him Moreno said 5 of 7 47 yards good-looking Drive big run here by the Dolphins 83 Clayton in motion arena looked that way now looking the other way and throws it high and far but rush by Keith Willis Dan Marino who experienced one of his four days in the NFL last week on a 14 for 34 two interceptions against the Giants he was erratic out of sync last year injury-plagued have the elbow rib shoulder problem still managed to put up big numbers led the AFC of passing yardage among the leaders and touchdown passes but picked off 22 times 12th play of the drive 2nd down and 10 at the 19 in tenifer duper and Thomas Emmett was back in the starting lineup coming back from that concussion injury had a good shot at him he did glassy duper stop watch this when he comes out he sees Everett coming out and he sees the linebackers or watch if you see him stop look I don't want it no it better hit me in the chest because I'm not reaching and there's number 27 Everett right there it is one of the toughest safeties in football pound-for-pound Larry Griffin was the starter at free safety with Everett working his way back following that opening day [Applause] at 10:00 [Applause] and Moreno completes for the first down mark playbook wait a moment short of the first down out of the tent needs the nine Carnell Lake the strong safety on the stop let's see where they spot it I'd say when they gave him a great spot here Clayton is going to come underneath he fights out with with the safety and right here now look where the ball is the ball is in the tent the ball never gets to the nine and they moved the ball almost to the 9 yard line that's a bad spot but it is fourth and less the Dolphins go forward and pick up the first down Sammy Smith it down by Bryant Hinkle Miami now first and goal on their opening drive a long one the clock is running 7:15 remaining in this opening quarter mr. Shula is no longer conservative fourth down no points on the board he went for it but they did they got it Miami Dolphins got a great spot on that play because Clayton never got beyond the 10-yard line and I know you measured the ball but the ball never got there either first and goal at the eight plateless to the right and took her left back to Smith gets a couple bobbled it and able to cover up on it David little with the stop look like Tony page on the on the recovery so Smith did coughing up Smith did fumble the ball he goes right inside now watch 49 is page when as soon as he sees that ball come out there he is right on the ball heavens number 66 was there but page had the better angle at it it is a second end goal down at the eight dolphins and Steelers scoreless 6:15 left and the first quarter party nickerson with the tackle of troy stratford preventing stratford from getting to the goal line again when it's the coverage that Moreno wants Troy Stratford 23 coming-out party Nickerson is number 54 now you have a linebacker covering it back but he also have a receiver downfield it's in the same area I don't think that and I think it was duper I don't believe that he was supposed to be there he was supposed to be inside the endzone Troy - excellent fir down back he's made it back Masuria speed injury 17th play of this Drive 3rd and goal at the 1 [Applause] and it Smith pull the touchdown Sammy Smith diving over to give it all fenders a six nothing laying you know you've talked about Sammy Smith diving over this offensive lion all the way down the field they've controlled the defensive line of the Pittsburgh Steelers they get everybody down once they get him down and gives Smith a chance to go up over the top they didn't let the defensive line stand them up Sammy Smith the first of Miami's two first-round picks a year ago had the big day opening day 159 yards on the ground in that victory over New England and here's Pete Diana Mitch it's on the extra point long try five the Dolphins 523 to go 1st quarter Dolphins 7 and the Steeler Miami had the ball eight minutes and seven seconds 17 plays 73 ours in a good start for Dan Marino on the Miami offensive thank Marino hit five different receivers in going 7 for 11 on that drive beeps Diana vich in a 2nd season out of Indiana kicking away to Rod Woodson and a good King and Woodson will stay right there it is a 7 of the lead for Miami with 5:15 remaining but it's not like now it's the [Music] definitely not now [Music] and absolutely positively not now get you anything else no enough let me call you a cab yeah good idea did you ever think you'd see the day when a car could actually call you if it's being stunted this tornados visual information center and mobile phone next time it's 11 o'clock you know where your car is heard from an old student I'm a brand McKenna smart kids good ball player great hand college aviation electronics but you said in the Navy then college a navy college fund in Montgomery GI Bill over $25,000 for your college education you like I said smart kid 17 years ago Oldsmobile offered the public the first airbag so when other car companies proclaim their undying devotion to your safety remember who planned here in the airbag check out the early scores a one-yard run by Bobby Humphrey for dent for the bill say it's payback time last year Denver beating Buffalo 28 14 Denver getting the early lead Dallas and the Giants no score and short with a 7 honking lead on a Rodney Peete touchdown pass to Robert Clark on a four yard play Tampa Bay in front of Minnesota seven nothing so funny Brister and the Pittsburgh off and start out from the 20 and Paul this offense is not scored a touchdown not including preseason since the second quarter of their playoff game in Denver nine and a half months 14 quarters ago in fact they produced only two sustained drives that led to field goals that's how bad it has gone here's Beryl Hodge flying the right side the number one draft pick Eric Green who played briefly on that opening series is doubling up a tight end with malarkey Eric Green a holdout activate of this past Monday is slated to see limited action here today it's one thing about Pittsburgh's office that everybody knows that they're gonna try and trap you they're gonna try and run the ball that is something that it hasn't changed the terminology in most place that changed a little bit from last year but they still line up and say we're going to come at you here they come again and here is Worley on a second and seven hit back behind the line the primary access David Griggs was able to shed the block of Mike Mularkey to make the stop Alfred all was talking about Griggs and what a great year he's having it here is Griggs number 92 watch this Malarkey's trying to block him turn him inside but he gets not only through malarkey but he also gets through Hodge and makes the play that's hustle damn it Briggs spent most of last season on Miami's developmental squad as the starter EJ junior has been the backup it's a third down and eight at the 22 dolphins with a seven nothing lead four minutes to go in this first quarter Krister goes the middle two lips look like JB Brown attempted to keep lips away from the first down and succeeded so Dan presents key we'll check in with the punting unit no and you think about it now here comes lips an experienced receiver coming across the field a 30-yard line is the marker watch her lips is he's inside the marker just a great play by Brown to stop him from getting the first down Straczynski punting again to Tony Martin Martin a first-year player from Mesa in Colorado who was held in check by the Giants last week good punt got the hang time and Martin calls for the fair catch so a 44 yard punt by Straczynski Miami will have the ball again with 306 left first quarter as part of the Oldsmobile edge standard on every new olds we give you 30 days or 1,500 miles

save the life of her unborn child it will touch your heart life story Sunday at 8:00 7:00 central on NBC welcome back to Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh Marv Albert with Paul McGuire on an overcast day it did rain up until 12:00 noon we may get some rain later on a Miami now first down from the 27 back to the ground Sammy Smith picked up a couple David little a native of Miami making the stop along with Donald Evans well you take a look at Tony page number 49 and he's the blocker up in the hole you see him trying to get through the hole separating people and he comes out on little not very ferocious but it's you know solution time-consuming it's like it it'll run the clock down a little bit and the Dolphins certainly have been doing that their previous Drive lasted eight minutes and seven seconds leading to the touchdown Marino throws it away Cooper in the area and were set for up day let's go to Bob Costas and in FLI all right Marvin Buffalo a pair of two and one teams the Broncos and the bills Denver's first possession Bobbie Humphrey caps a 12-play 80-yard Drive going over from the one his third TD of the season Broncos with the early 7-nothing lead back to Marvin Paul thank you Bob just under two and a half minutes to go 1st quarter 7 nothing Miami with the lead on Pittsburgh Dolphins looking [Applause] avoiding the rush and running or sliding for the first down you know it didn't look like much there but this offensive line now you got to understand if there are a young offensive line for the Miami Dolphins and so far they have done the job the one thing that Pittsburgh talked about it's difficult to sack Mourinho what we want to do is try to hurry him this time once that the offensive line does they force everybody to the left and here comes a Marino everybody's back because they don't expect him to run he rarely does and he picks up the first down I give credit to the offensive line picked up ten on the play Miami's seventh first down Marino so difficult to sack because of that quick release and also the good play of the offensive line and a nice sideline pattern what's it on the coverage as Cooper made the catch at the first down marker it is another first down 11-yard pickup one of the NFL's youngest offensive lines they have tagged them the new kids on the block Paul that's a singing group of the temperately quite popular with young teenage girls Oh glad you told me about them they just forgot to tell these guys they're not supposed to be able to block in the rookie year and they're doing it they are doing a great job for this team Webb Sims good on a doll breath and Dennis and Sammy Smith is dripping back Rick Lloyd Aaron Jones combining to stack up Smith when you take a look at this offensive line let's look to the left down we've got Simpson Webb there they are there's a double-team right at the end of the line now the double team is on Kenny Davidson number 64 and his Smith comes in but it looks like he's a little bit late Paige goes in that really hit anybody but this is what you talk about look at the black shirts there's six black shirts there they go to the football second and eight dolphins at the Pittsburgh 40 a time is running down in the first quarter Marino up by David Johnson he was right on track cutting in front of Mark Clayton I'm not taking anything away from Johnson because Johnson played the ball well but Moreno threw the ball where the ball could be intercepted look where the ball is Clayton instead of throwing the ball in front of him he throws the ball behind Clayton this was not a good pass here's the ball you see it better here justice just makes a great play on the ball almost picked off for a touchdown vii play of the drive it's a third down and eight [Applause] and it's only the second time the season that Dan Marino has been sacked and Keith Willis I talked to him yesterday Marvin he said I can get to it it's going to be difficult but I can get to him and Willis you're going to see him he's going to come right up the middle and here he is Marino steps up and Willis makes the sack great play by the defense for Keith Willis at his eighth year out of North Eastern first sack of the season Reggie Ruby who did not have a good day last week against the Giants getting set to punt but time has run out in this first quarter after one I'm 80 years old and I love Kellogg's Frosted Flakes brave adults are coming forward to challenge the notion that frosted flakes is just a kid cereal I eat him I love him and I don't care who knows with that extra crunch and milk that frosting just right they have a taste adults can love every bit as much as kids go ahead surely you can do it I love them thank you what more can you say frosted flakes have the taste adults have grown to love their guru did you ever think you'd see the day when a car could actually call you if it's being stolen it was tornados visual information center and mobile phone next time it's 11 o'clock you know where your car is [Music] today small cars are tougher than ever on oil they're high compression engines not only rev high they can run hotter than regular small car engines they're searing heat can begin to break down an oil immediately that's why there's Kestrel the motor-oil that in every grade provides maximum protection against viscosity and thermal breakdown Castro before your engine does something to get you heated up Castrol engineered for today's smaller cars developing a fuel efficient 4 cylinder engine is easy giving it the power of many v8 is hard Oldsmobile offers you the revolutionary quad for the best of both worlds [Music] next during the course of his eight-year career in the NFL this only the seventh time that the native of Pittsburgh and Marino who starred at the University of Pittsburgh has faced his hometown club the Steelers and that the first time a moment ago that the Steelers were able to sack him Reno has not played well in the last two meetings against the Steelers and these these games have special meaning to the tight end Edmunds [Applause] surprising the Steelers what's going on here with Don Shula date they Center the ball directly back to Jensen not only does he block but catch passes but he also throws passes watch Jensen and to see Edmonds there's there on the line of scrimmage there's nobody covering him they go to the inside and if the only guy back to really there's Johnson back there and also Woodson but man what a play that was 30-yard pickups of Don Shula gambling earlier in the fourth and half yard and now going to the chicanery it's a first down at the pittsburgh 21 yard line just underway in the second quarter Sammy Smith picking his way we get Omar some people might have forgotten to store about Jensen Jensen came to the Miami Dolphins as a quarterback and he knew he wasn't gonna play so he went to the coaching staff and he said put me on a special team so he was on every one of their special teams he's also on the kickoff team but he was a quarterback still is I guess he's their disaster guy if they have to go to he was an 11th round graphic coming out of Boston University as a quarterback in in 1981 it's not a happy camper there second out of four at the 15 Smith off the pitch did not make the turn they closed it off Thomas effort leading the charge he in a Rada Woodson getting to Sammy Smith Thomas ever just a great fill he comes up from a safety position he sees the toss Paige is supposed to be out front blocking and here comes Paige number 49 now his job is he's got to cut back to the inside alright he gets a piece of his man but look at 27 Everett he is just there Woodsen's there and Paige didn't stay long enough with Lloyd lost a couple that's a third down and six back of the 17 Jim Jensen is back in the backfield now as the Dolphins go to their spread alignment [Applause] to complete on playground with his first perception of the season picked up 10 Wayne Woodruff on the stop and it sets up a first and goal for the Dolphins they just spread out the field on em play they took Tony Martin on one side Andre Brown comes India and the outside and Clayton goes to the right-hand side and look at how open the field is here when you spread out your receivers you spread out the defense Clayton as wide to the left side [Applause] untouched right at the end of the play if someone got a hand on Barbie look like when he hit the five-yard line he was just gliding you know he knew he was in the blocking was superb let's see what Paige does this time here comes number 49 to the outside here's his block excellent blocked on the outside on Hinkle in for the touchdown at six so Sammy Smith who last year as a rookie showed flashes of brilliance he was affected by a long holdout nagging injuries had some fumbling problems too but has opened up strong this year in his second season in the NFL extra point by stoy animage providing the Dolphins with a 14 nothing lead three minutes gone by in the second quarter last November in Miami in a severe downpour but Alvin's jumped out in front of the Steelers by the score of 40 nothing but despite the heavy rain Pittsburgh was able to come from behind 34:14 victory a game it helped turn around Pittsburgh season Merrill Heinz with a three touchdown performance Miami fumbled six times a franchise record Pittsburgh had gone into that game of five and six Miami seven and four contender at the time of those two clubs went in opposite directions and shioma said we had him 40 nothing the rains came our weather and we lost the game it's a 14-nothing dolphin lead right here short kick off and it's Rod Woodson out of the firm beautiful running by Watson this prawn here at Three Rivers gets an opportunity to applaud the home team for the first time Jarvis Williams ran about a 30-yard kickoff return but I said to Rod Woodson yesterday are you going to return the ball again tomorrow I said you bet he loves to return the ball you noticed how he shifted the ball into his left arm to keep it away from the tacklers smart football since when you're watching things we're watching players like that you move the ball away from the player let him hit the arm and not the ball so Pittsburgh first out of the 42 is sacked that's the second the second of the day by the Dolphins number 14 on the season against Pittsburgh Jarvis Williams the strong safety on the Blitz he sought it's his arm he landed on his arm Jarvis Williams came in untouched number 26 look at this he goes up over the top there was nobody to block him Worley was back there now I don't know if he was supposed to block them or not number 38 but no one even picked him up and they ran that safety blitz that's a strong safety blitz it gets worse and worse pull the Steelers apparently Brister is all right that's the backup quarterback Rick Strom nothing doing to this point offensively of course the Steelers and Hartley half the ball the dump off incomplete covering tim ruling you know there is signed and answers at all but you know when you look at Brister take a look there's no one to throw the ball to her greenness in his face but there really was no one to throw the football to and he's bad at green and be careful bubby cuz he's gonna be in your face a little bit more today but when you look downfield and there's nobody open you get a sick feeling in you get it as a third down and 18 back at the 34 [Music] and brisker way short of the first down tackled at the 40 and he is very frustrated JP Brown right making the stop let's go to Bob Costas and all right down three nothing against the Eagles Indianapolis goes to work Jack Trudeau the backup quarterback for the injured Jeff George flips it out to Albert Bentley and watch what he does weaving through tacklers look at the block out there by the tackle number 71 Oh got all the way down field it's a 73 yard pass catch and run and later - no hits Jessie Hester from five yards out Indy lead 7 3 hi Bob and the putt buys presents keep safe - call for by Tony Martin 39-yard punt Miami gets the ball back 10 and a half to go in the first half no matter where you look bears - dad we're introducing new products like the Miata setting new sales records winning the respect of the automotive press and winning awards for both quality and customer satisfaction but most important we're making thousands of people feel just right [Music] I'm State Farm agent Jeff Libby one of the most gratifying parts of my job is helping young parents people who are just beginning to understand what life insurance is all about young couples don't need a sales talk they just need to talk to someone who understands them and their life insurance needs now I know what that promise of security means and I don't believe there's a better promise that parent can make [Music] is that all there is it's kind of simple isn't it each all that good stuff hasn't sunk to the bottom no where's the buried treasure there's no mystery sit this is just flakes mmm I can actually taste the cereal it doesn't need anything else the naked truth now I like that Kellogg's cornflakes cornflakes taste them again for the first time along with the many problems of the Pittsburgh offense they have half the ball only 5 minutes and 18 seconds but poor you get the idea the players just don't believe and the schemes the system of your wallet first of all they're not sure of it and again we talked about the other three things terminology is one of them marv you know when you talk to the place you do have that feeling that they're not totally convinced that this offense is going to work I'll be fighting it I think so I think they really are I think that one of the worst problem is they're not sure Sammy Smith as Miami goes back to the offense Greg Lloyd on the stop you know Marvel week ago we talked about Pittsburgh we did him out in Los Angeles and I made the statement and one of the things in all the years that I've been associated with a National Football League and coaches will tell you players are really not paid to think they're paid to react but in order to react you have to know who you're supposed to block and I don't think they're really sure of it yet well what is the philosophy here those does a coach stay with his system or does he change it for the players well get to in a second ran this play second or 1 a.m. Tony Paige picks it up David little on the stop along with chief Willis is there a point where you say this is not going to work or does Chuck Noll say hey we got to make some changes and and you bench Brister you bring on bricks from that was the facetious indication a couple of weeks ago when Brister complained that it just won't work I think one of the things that you must do with this is is simplify it as much as possible and and only put a certain amount of place and talking to Joe Walter yesterday he said we have it down to the basics now and here's Marino on first down Tony page on the reception short of the first on Canal Lake the strong safety making the stop six minutes gone by second quarter Miami with a 14-nothing lead a 7 yard run by Sammy Smith and that long drive that went eight minutes and seven seconds capped off by the one-yard plunge still to come at halftime Bob Costas OJ Simpson will McDonagh NFL live there the guys they'll have all the scores and the highlights does you know those updates by Bobby he's live today's jumping out at you Smith again sounds happy today and I thought he hasn't been of a fastball david johnson office top we're gonna have we got a present we're gonna give him later on today I know he's gonna love and enjoy Walmart short of the first down I'm a dolphin's 14-nothing lead and looking at a third and one at the 42 Miami comes in a two and one they won at New England 27:24 while at Buffalo 32 seven in their home opener last week they were beaten by the Giants 22 3 Miami held to only 7 first downs equaling a franchise lo Marino decides to talk it over timeout taken will be back in a moment does that mean his first big trial day the jury's gonna notice his winning smile yeah he's great oh he's little place mm-hmm happen to perfect people here just use my shampoo head and shoulders Sandra I rest my case having shoulders because he never get a second chance to make a first impression he stirs in the land of dawning he stirs now in the age of wandering now on the trail of beauty Easter's [Music] Navaho monster by generals a big insulation our 13 are higher to keep your warm indoors sweater to keep your one out floors are friends October 14 his toy has stopped and he has started you run to the junk drawer for a battery but which ones are good you'd know with the new copper top tester it's absolutely free only from Theresa NBC Sports coverage of the National Football League is proxy by Mazda cars and trucks Mazda it just feels right by State Farm Insurance like a good neighbor State Farm is there and by head and shoulders because you never get a second chance to make a first impression [Music] the lights are on here at Three Rivers Stadium on an overcast day and it has been overcast indeed once again for that Pittsburgh offense Miami with a third down and one and penalty markers have blown as sandy Smith appeared to be stopped short of the first down by the inside linebacker party Nickerson it's the first penalty of the day and it's hard first down you know it's bad when they do can't pick out just one number a generic good call by Jerry Austin here they go and take a look on the left hooks whoops there in the neutral zone yes by a me first down at the 47 yard line 7:35 remaining and the first half Marv Albert along with Paul McGuire from Pittsburgh but dolphins have old for football in this first half Smith picking his way running well Sammy Smith in a second season at a Florida State stopped by Thomas Everett Smith says he's much quicker this season after dropping about 12 pounds in the off season he says he's cut out those extra trips to his favorite fast-food outlets what has turned it around well I just watched him on that last play and they pull didn't they the Miami Dolphins Webb number 78 and Sims number 69 the left-hand side of the line and all Smith did was follow those guys and he picked up seven yards on the play and a nice start for Sammy Spence second down and three out of the 46 plate 83 in motion Smith again battling to the first down hit by Gerald Williams the nose tackle you know we talked about at the beginning about how good what Pittsburgh Steelers defense second in the AFC I mean this is a solid strong defensive football team and you know the offense is on the field they always say well the defense is on for a long period of time well show us the other team's offense I mean the guys are running around too but if this defense starts to fold this team is in a lot of trouble we're in a lot of trouble now talk about a world of heat major oh no question play of the drive it's a bird down leading forward let's see if he picked it up again Gerald Williams on the stop Keith Willis also involved and they are calling for the yardsticks well next Sunday the Pittsburgh still is a home for San Diego and then two straight on the road how about this schedule at Denver and then at San Francisco so it does not get any prettier most guys would say easier I don't think they have it no they don't but what will they do they went for it on fourth down in the first quarter in a second quarter they through from the punt formation and now they're going to go for it again so when things are working excuse me bar but when things are working why not you know they've had their way with the time of possession they have 14 points on the board the defense has done a great job so far and this is also an insult to the Pittsburgh defense yes it is [Applause] as a fourth down less than the it is in the backfield for [Applause] Logan battling his way and it looks like he did pick it up mark Logan in his fourth year out of Kentucky making it back from a knee injury he was leading the league in kickoff returns last year until he injured the knee and is all working for the Dolphins here and the first half first down is collected you know I talked to bubby Brister yesterday and you talked about a young man that's open and I you know I said to Bubbe about the offense no touchdowns I mean what does it feel like when you're coming off the field and you're looking at the defense and these guys are out there busting their humps trying to get things done for you getting you the ball back and you guys can't perform he said he said the first three games he said the guys are really close together he said but if it happens again today I don't know what we're going to do and I don't know how we're gonna face the defense play action Marino had the time he dumped it off to page Parnell Lake the strong safety made the stop of Tony pays the one time to York ship one time Detroit lion Tony pages gonna say runs close to the ground while he gotta he's only 510 yeah so cool I know but I thought throw it in I know she threw it out it'll be a second down at one four minutes to go in this first half Smith finding the room and has the first down Donnell evidence right defense event in a second year from the winston-salem State making the stop and a penalty marker this one against Miami first mistake they've made holding 85 offense ten-yard repeat second down that is the wide receiver mark duper it has been a tremendous first half for the Miami offensive line the new kids on the block have done it Webb Sims Yulin ake Galbreath and Dennis have been exceptional there's page number 49 with a great block he gets and then duper downfield really didn't have to throw the block he's holding on top of it sets it back to a second down and eight from the 40 yard line 14 nothing dolphins the Steelers Logan's stop by Nickerson look at the baseball pennant races Toronto leading Boston for one in the bottom of the third Red Sox looking to sweep a Boston win today would clinch a tie for the AL East the magic number there is three and the Cubs leading the Mets to nothing in the first later on the Pirates play at the Cardinals magic number for the Pirates is down to one coming off yesterday's play down markers down and it's broken up by Hinkle here's the situation with Marino that I thought that Dan would even air it out because he knew that they caught Pittsburgh offside and have been against the offense they would have stopped it right then so it is against the defense offside it's a free play outside number 97 deep in five yards first down and a problem history threw the ball what kind of first down anyway 97 is Aaron Jones Pittsburgh's number one grant pick back in 1988 in his third season out of Eastern Kentucky I don't think the people in Pittsburgh want to hear too much about the Super Bowl rings anymore do you I mean they're they're just they'd like to see something happen right now they'd like to see just the first down I know they want to see a touchdown but they want to see a first down anyway this is the 13th play of the drive and Smith is bottled off Sammy Smith hit by Greg Lloyd and nowhere to go Lloyd was on a blitz and he was flying and he can't hit a Sammy Smith hit me to hit him head-on but it seemed probably one of the greatest collisions this year but he almost missed him sets back to a second down and 13 at the 35 Thomas Everett we're told we injured himself and they will check it out time out caught we'll be right back 35 yard pass play and it gets worse for the Steelers Miami with a brilliant first half and they now lead at 20 nothing Clayton but a move on Johnson just beats Johnson now I know that Johnson was running with him so Parnell Lake number 37 I don't know if he is supposed to be the safety that was deep but it just looked too easy I mean Marino stepped up in the hole and just finds Clayton I mean it was wide open Johnson never stayed with him Clayton runs that running out move and he was right up the field and that ball was perfect mark Layton making it back from the pulled hamstring last year 64 catches after Clayton is first touchdown of the season Pete style avec extending to 21 nothing as we hit the two-minute mark two minutes to go first half tweak Paul Miami had the ball only 19 minutes in Chains against the Giants they've already passed that phone when you look at Pittsburgh with five minutes and 18 seconds we're at the two-minute warning folks so the most of Pittsburgh can get the ball in the first half would be 7 minutes and 18 seconds if they keep it the entire two minutes another sustained Drive by the Dolphins and when 829 they lead a 21 nothing stoy Animesh kicking to Woodson Rod Woodson has been the only bright spot to this point for the Steelers runs it across the 15 now you and I have talked about time of possession it doesn't mean anything it only means something what you do with the time but when you don't have any time you can't do anything well for Pittsburgh it's been a a twin bill they haven't had the time and they haven't done anything when they've had any time and it's starting to get ugly here and this the worst field position of the day for the steel is Richard Bell the rookie from Nebraska now has checked into the backfield it is lips to the left Bell and Hodge are the running backs and is brisker and he is sacked that's called in the grasp under control third sack of the day boss gets credit for his third sack of the season I mean you got to slow the guy down Jeff cross just blows by I think it's that's going to be Blankenship the left guard or domani Dawson but I mean watch this look at 91 it is its Blankenship I mean he just blows right by him there's soap there's smoke there's no place to go you've got to slow him down here it comes here look at this here's Blankenship I mean that's the man that's lined up over toffee you've got to block him second an 18 and brisker on long haul while in contact let's see no flag derrick hill in a battle with Jarvis Williams Jarvis Williams what a great play he made he knew that hill can outrun him so all he did is look back at the ball and move over in front of Hill and Hill looking back at the ball trips over it's a solid play Brister sees Hill going downfield Jarvis Williams knows right here that he's beat but watch what he does he goes in front Hill trips over great play by the defense to demonstrate how bad it has been for the Steelers they are averaging burden 12 in third down situations and this thought was almost picked off it would have been six for Jarvis Williams white stone the intended receiver and the Steelers next first down will be their first the intended receiver was Jarvis wave yes I mean he had he was the closest one to it and Bobby is looking and there's that sign again Straczynski will putt from his end zone it has Bera Singh first half for the Steeler offense [Applause] Tony Martin with the fair catch at field 39 yard pot and Miami gets it back with a minute nine left in the half these stats are three twos in there but Pittsburgh only happens having one of them yeah it is on the bottom it won't do this watch this malarkey in stone xx stone Mellark 84 now look what happens number 26 freeze it right there here's Jarvis Williams in the middle he can cover both of these guys I know they can't both supposed to be there and then malarkey drifts out Paul Jarvis Williams did was look at the quarterback read his eyes and he was in position intercept and run for a touchdown but he missed the ball offensive coordinator Joe Waltons seven seasons head coach of the Jets and has had himself a nightmarish start with the Steelers Stratford stopped by Hinkle getting back to the ineptitude of the Pittsburgh offense out of 12 offensive plays seven have gone for negative yarns to this point for the Steelers Marino as a deflected and it is incomplete Jensen had a crack at it well for those of you who missed the NFL live pregame show here are some of the headlines some interesting occurrence is first of all Patriots owner Victor Khayyam a guest with Bob will and OJ said that he would make some management changes possibly general manager Patrick Sullivan in response to the handling of the Lisa Olson controversy Lisa Olson the Boston reporter in the midst of it all said that a patriot team official knows which players surrounded her and the team locker room and it is coming up at half-time Bob Costas will MacDonald Jay Simpson all the scores so the Steelers able to pick off Marino Aaron Jones able to play that deflection and come up with it Rod Woodson is the guy that first hits the ball and I think he was surprised Marino is just trying to dump it off number 26 is Rod Woodson and here comes the ball gets him in the hand pops out of lakes hand and then there's the interception that's tricky play that's that'll be on there highlight because it's about the only thing they've done right all day Woodson Lake and Jones little volleyball the put a net up and Pittsburgh has a best field position of the day but brister in trouble and the ruling is [Applause] possession Louis the 9-yard quicker strange things happening here for the Steelers and a place goes crazy only 28 seconds left in the half Stella still have not picked up a first down in this first half see that's what they thought they thought the Steelers had a first down they foldable they're gonna look at it to see if he made the catch in bounce there it is and a familiar figure Bubbe running for his life here comes lips back that's it that's a great catch there's nothing wrong with that now they're looking where they should mark the ball I would mark the ball back at the 46 yard line where he goes out of bounds the play does stand the replay official from the NFL George slinky and that is the first time they have reviewed a play here today well they can't run the ball we know that and it doesn't it there's only 28 seconds they do have three timeouts you know Georgian Peter patanti of the NFL told me as a house close the string gets inside the 40 the clock is running 8-yard advanced and now timeout has taken the replay guys call me they locked the door when you're in town they don't want to take any chances they really fear that one day you will enter the replay booth while the game is on but you know if you're wrong you're wrong I mean I there's two things that I don't like and it's inconclusive and the whistle blew I mean you're gonna make a replay call make it have the guts to make it and bubby Brister talking it over with the offensive coordinator Joe Walt down at 18 seconds remaining and this first half the dolphins with a 21-nothing lead on the Steelers from left to right will McDonough Bob Costas OJ Simpson and they are just ahead NFL live at halftime and in a second hey gets to the second half while giving his present Bobby Pittsburgh Steelers coming in at 1 & 2 lost at Cleveland 13 3 beat Houston here at Three Rivers 22 9 they had a good one against Warren Moon sacking him four times lost to the Raiders in LA last week his Hodge hip down at the 30 short of the first down Jarvis Williams making the stop and this the first time the Steelers have shown any signs of an offense but we're down to ten seconds remaining on behalf at a timeout taken but you're also in a situation where the Miami Dolphins are in part of a prevent defense and we talked to Oliver Dottie yesterday about this will give me all the short stuff they up 21 points three can't bother him that much so they just you know give you all the short stuff the last two pass completions were to Hodge one was on a screen and what was another eight yard pattern down the field they need touchdowns not field goals and there is Tom Oliver Dottie the Miami Dolphin defensive coordinator he told us last night despite the success of the Miami defense he said I can't say that strategically we've done a lot of different things he says they fish playing part he fan said the crown reacting because the Steelers will go for the points going for the field goal what do you think what do you think what do I think they want to put some points on it but remember they have not scored a touchdown in 14 quarters of this regular season 46 yard attempt for Anderson just a minute over the crossbar Gary Anderson now five for six on the season last week against the Raiders hit as on the attempt from 31 and so Pittsburgh does get on the board with five seconds to go in the hand I know he has a stronger late than that Gary Andersen it looked like the ball might have been tipped at the line of scrimmage because it took it off a long time to just clear the bar and we've watched Gary Anderson when he warms up I mean he can hit the ball 60 yards says look in the middle and see if it is tipped if we can see it here no he just he just thumped it he got it up but he didn't hit it all but he hit it enough to get three Gary Anderson is the third in NFL history in field goal accuracy succeeding at a 77 percent rate Nick Lowry and Morten Andersen are are the leaders and he is continuing along that pace this season well even if the Pittsburgh Steelers do not score another point the rest of the season Gary Anderson will be their leading scorer even if he doesn't score anymore third five point four [Applause] there is Anderson putting it on the ground his toys Stratford returned up for the 25 yard line as time has run out three livers reacts to the Steeler offense in this first half [Music] decline an offside penalty and this half is officially over may Miami Dolphins with a strong first half they leave the Pittsburgh Steelers by the score of twenty one two three now let's go to NFL live here's Bob Costas [Music] Bob Costas back in New York we'll be joined shortly by will McDonough but right now we want to get more on the situation involving the New England Patriots if you were with us on the pregame show he saw a patriot owner Victor Khayyam reiterate his apologies to Boston Herald reporter Lisa Olson who says she was sexually harassed by several Patriots in the locker room a couple of weeks ago now Khayyam not only apologized but he said that there would be organizational changes when I asked him directly whether that meant the GM Pat Sullivan's job was in jeopardy he sidestepped the issue we're gonna go up to Foxborough right now Bob Lobel works for our NBC station in Boston WBZ can you give us a bit more about well Bob Costas Victor Khayyam continues to act like Victor the dancing bear he is Victor the dancing owner at the moment he does a sidestep the question when you asked him directly have you fired general manager Patrick Sullivan he says I'm going to meet with Patrick Sullivan I'm going to talk with the commissioner I have a number of options I have some decisions to make but we feel basically that the least that'll happen is that Patrick Sullivan will be suspended maybe Khayyam wants to make it so uncomfortable for him that Pat himself may quit be that as it may Patrick Sullivan is being held accountable for this and Victor Khayyam is a publicly flogging him to the press saying that had he known about this immediately he never would have put his foot in his mouth well be that as it may most people feel the way Patrick Sullivan hailed this although it was handled badly he was trying to protect Victor Khayyam from Victor kaien who in the end did throw gasoline on a fire that exploded and engulfed everybody yeah in a nutshell Khayyam is saying that he didn't realized the severity of a situation consequently he trivialized it made statements he shouldn't have and he's holding his messengers responsible well it sounds like a public relations concoction you have the aggrieved party Lisa Olson apologized to her you have your players come forward and give their accountability and their responsibility the other ones in the incident and you yourself fire the people in public it sounds like a classical a classic political campaign strategy the Boston Herald and some other groups have called for a fan boycott of today's game between the Patriots and Jets is that having any impact I doubt it Bob most people are here to see a football game they're not interested in social issues and you'll get a reaction at halftime when Victor Khayyam comes out for the John Hanna Day festivities I'll be retiring his long overdue I might add but I think their reaction to Viktor Chaya may reflect directly on a performance of their team in the first half if they're getting blown out by the Jets Cayenne will get booed if they're beating the Jets he'll still get booed but not by that much Bob thanks very much Bob Lobel of WBZ in Boston what soon he sincerely is sorry that there was misconduct on the part of his players but there's also a threatened boycott of Remington products he owns that company with the Christmas season coming up and some women's groups are saying hey you can't throw your money in this man's direction after the situation he's been involved in so he wants to clear the air on that - well sure he does because I was talking to Victor the other day and he told me that like 100 percent of his business at Remington is done between October 1st and through the Christmas season so if the boycott was really effective he would stand to lose millions and millions of dollars the FOB here's what surprises me I know because I am told me this week the pawl tag who the Commissioner told him Victor calm down we're gonna handle it our way I will appoint a special counsel incidentally that special counsel is gonna come from the Harvard Law School faculty and being announced in the next few days and we will set up a situation where everybody can be brought in we'll hit the side of everybody story but we'll let it calm down and we'll do it in the right way and that hasn't happened if anything the thing exploded today on the show you got to assume that the folks at the public relations firm Howard Rubinstein's company in New York City told him you can't wait that long you've got to squelch this because of the ramifications beyond football the economic ramifications you got to make a move right now to disassociate yourself from this that's pure speculation between you and me right now absolutely the irony here is I spoke the Pats olive about 30 minutes on the phone Friday night and he said to me in part of his comment said Zeek Mowatt was the fall guy now the irony again is that Pat Sullivan looks like he can be the fall guy there's no question that Mowatt did what she alleges he did the other players back that all don't say that you can't say that we have to wait until you deal with it but appear to be on the right track and and the other thing that darn told us last night Marv when he said look at last week's game against the Giants throw that away forget that that's one game in a 16-game schedule let's forget about that one let's get on with our football team and they and obviously in the first half they did that it appears that the Giants are on another level that's the great line and the returned by mark Higgs our kids a three-year man from Kentucky was met by Jerry Alice offski and met square by Alsace key who sat out last week bothered by tonsillitis he was inactive back in action today so Miami's push down from its 22 yard line Marv and Keith Sims did not come back in the game it was it looked like his knee and Roy Foster number 61 will play that left guard position sprained knee we're told Sims sitting it out foster a nine year Pro out of University of Southern Cal aid well as a starter last year here Smith trying to cut back inside stuffed at the line by the combination of Parnell Lake and Donald Evans Parnell Lake you remember is a safety he is the strong safety they pulled the Miami Dolphins pulled the left side of their offensive line and number 37 Cornell Lake Bill's right here look at this that's the safety up front Evans is also their number 66 but Lake is the man who really made the play he had a strong game last year in Miami Lake recovering the fumble also had the big hit on Moreno Moreno forced to leave because of a shoulder problem a completion to page out of the 28 yard line and again it's Lake on the stop that time Moreno just stepped up in the found page opened six or seven yards downfield but Lake again is there remember he made a tackle on the left hand side of the field now you'll see him on this is to be the left hand side but actually the right hand side of the defense here he is now making another plate along with Rod Woodson number 26 5th catch of the day for Tony page you know when you look at it now page is actually supposed to be covered by the linebacker also four on the inside who was David little number 50 Darnell Lake so Suzie saw it made the play go down and four amory no dulcet has the first down Clayton gets some more out across 445 free safety Larry Griffin on the stop 18 yard advance but a penalty marker is down and this may go back holding 62 offense 10-yard repeat their doubts that's the white guard hairy Galbreath called for the hole he's on right hand side here screen number 62 you see golf authorities on Willis when you get your when you get your hands on the outside of the pads now here's the hold his right arm is grabbing good call by the official but there's no way that Wayne Woodworth can stay with Clayton when Moreno has that much time to throw the football very few penalties have been called today and Miami right on the bottom in terms of having penalties call both there calls have been holding that was was a problem earlier in the season it's a third down 14 and the dumped off for Stratford go to the first down Gerald Williams right there and so the Pittsburgh defense able to hold off the Donnell furnace this is that shovel pass and what happens is the demand made off with the Reno reads that the Pittsburgh Steelers are in an overshift you can see the line over shifted to the right and then here's the secondary they're going downfield and their backs are turned except Parnell Lake is also there in Williams number 98 as they got it makes the play Reggie Roby with his first pawn his first attempt ended up as a fake and a successful pass from Jensen to Evans a line drive handled by Woodson and Woodson gets to midfield so rich in Roby who did not have a good day against the Giants last week unleashing only a 36-yard pod a 12 yard return and bubby Brister thank God with his offense and they're hearing it from this capacity crowd Pittsburgh will start out from midfield Toronto knitting Boston fortitude top of the fourth Cubs over the Mets in the third Pirates and Cardinals no score in the first magic number for the Pirates is one the myths must win today while the Pirates lose then all the vets have to do fall asleep the Pirates at Three Rivers and then win a playoff game here if it's very very Hodge on the fumble [Applause] and it is recovered let's see recovered by Hodge I just running to his right and just jarvis Williams just gets in and just puts his arm and slaps the ball away when you're looking when you're looking at it again here's the ball being slapped away but Hodges really didn't put the ball in concentration level it's not there second down and nine taco and that's the best part of the day for the Steelers first down Hyde's pulled him on the stop Hotch went for 12 and that's the narrow Hodge that we saw in spots last week against the Raiders and throughout the second half of last season and that's the best looking trap play we've seen take a look at it Worley is in and he gets a good block on Offerdahl and Offerdahl number 56 is the man that misses the tackle and you don't see that very often but Hodge is a powerful runner Pittsburgh first down at the Miami 37 dolphin's 21 still has three full minutes in third quarter there's Hodge trying the other side and he was slowed up by Offerdahl Hodge stopped inside the 35 by Oliver boy Alford all made a great play to get back to the outside because he was getting blocked at the time had just got out he got his arm on Hodge Offerdahl is is being blocked then he gets right here that's long number 74 and look what offer it all does gets back out to get a piece of Hodge to slow him down John Alford all always attacking goes all out every snap last year selected as a Provost otter despite missing seven games because of the holdout off the play action Brister completes a stone he had to come back to make the diving catch and Pittsburgh for the first down at 11 yard pass play [Applause] stones going to come all the way across the field and then go back JB Brown is trying to stay with him but malarkey picks off JB brown now Offerdahl is supposed to pick him up here but stones you talk about getting your hands underneath the ball what a super catch for the Steelers their deepest penetration of the day it is a first out of the 24 [Applause] intended for limps he got holding on Hodge Hugh green was in the backfield and he would have had rest heard this if there's such a thing is a good hold this is it because she might have been picking Brister up off the turf again Hugh Green just gets through he's in on a conversation to see do green once if you're the one that's being held you're allowed to stand in there with the officials that's the only time it's not a League rule but you know it helps see he wants to make sure look at him but he's excuse me shimmy oh yeah see what's me I'd like to have you say 33 holding 55 if you would jerry austin and the umpire number 67 john checked continuing the long discussion all right here it is on the outside now there it goes oh i'm sorry i I'm sorry mr. would happen to be there but that's long tarried long number 74 that not only held him but grabbed his facemask hey Lee goose a hand pressed me on the facemask five yards first down wait a minute whoa they called it against green [Applause] that's why Hugh was was particularly interested wasn't that his face basket that we saw to the right of your screen on the top look at 74 long his right hand is that on the facemask or not what is that whoops hold on make a mistake actually green got him first oh I see and it's a first down at the 19 his CRISPR flowing for Lex [Applause] JB brown on the coverage of Lois lips JB Brown plays us so beautifully because he knows he's got help to the inside now he can make a move on the ball when he looked to the inside you see 25 Lewis Oliver and he knows he has help in there so he plays to the outside first and when lips finally makes his last cut then he can react seventh play of the drive and as a second intent at the 19 9:22 go and prefer here's hot these to the 18 a short pickup met by the outside linebacker hugh green it will be a third down play Don Shula in his 28th season as an NFL head coach 21st with the Dolphins he has appeared in more Super Bowls than any other coach six at all winning two and of course that man with four Super Bowl victories two of the winningest coaches in NFL history Richard bell has checked into the backfield brisker in trouble just dumps it that's intentional grounding no flag new green was on the scene and brisker able to throw it away but what they're saying is that Richard Bell was in the vicinity yep if you're on the field you're in the vicinity because bubbie is crushed bail number 21 is the only guy that's even going to be close but watch where Buffy throws the ball you'll see bail no you won't see bail in the vicinity whoo and here's a 35-yard attempt for Anderson or earlier hit from 46 for Gary Anderson rolls right on he is now 6 for 7 on the season Dolphins lead 21 6 Toyota versus the Isuzu standard pickup beginner hit by the score of 21 6 and Mark Higgs will stay in the end zone so they'll bring it back out and Dan Marino will start out from his 20 yard line let's check out the Hertz 10-minute ticker it is Denver in front of Buffalo now 14 3 and the third Giants with a 17-10 lead Giants one in Dallas a couple of weeks back 28 7 at the half Detroit leading Green Bay Ron Meyer had a interesting statement the other day with Indianapolis trailing Philadelphia 17 to 10 he said we're not shooting ourselves in the foot were actually amputating both legs off the wall here's burrito Tony page it can be said was in the vicinity yeah that was about all they had the whole team Marino ran a bootleg play and everybody had to come from the other side of the field to get over there and in the defense of the Pittsburgh Steelers would they had the whole field cover there was just no place to go with the ball so worried no actually threw it in the dirt second down and ten from the 20 dolphins with a 21-6 lead on the Steelers Smith and the Pittsburgh defense has certainly picked it up here and the second half Woodson and Wake not allowing Smith to unravel and he just get the feeling that the Miami Dolphins are getting a little bit too conservative I mean to expect Marino the throw on third down I know on that first down play it was a bootleg it didn't work and then go back to the toss the Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting in there waiting and here it is Smith it's going to end up going to the right now what there's no hole there so now he starts to Evans's their 66 he works his way back and there's Lake Woodson and little Dilys have the five defensive backs with third down and ten it's Tony Martin on the reception and he has a first down a picked up 15 the Dolphins field that Tony Martin could be a starter a year from now he is an exciting player Marino those shaken up just walking it off Tony Martin spent most of last year on the Miami developmental squad he's a converted quarterback he was drafted by the Jets as a quarterback there he is out of Mesa in Colorado number 89 8 AJ Jenkins I think number 99 he's gonna come from the backside and just I mean that's a late hit come on Marino's looking and he knows he got hit late eighty-three plate and motion it is Logan and Logan has a first down David Johnson able to track him down a 17 yard run for Mark Logan and again you know the defense can only hold up so long and on that last try the pittsburgh steelers had the ball for eighth place but they only had the ball for only three minutes to 30-some seconds in the play and here comes a miami dolphins again with ball control a couple of runs don't work and I'm sitting here saying to get conservative they don't I mean this is their game plan and they're sticking to it they know that the place that can run that would that play there that Logan ran was the same one the Smith was supposed to run but the hole was blocked up and earlier Don Shula did go to some trick plays that did work logan again this will bring up a second down mark Logan Plan B pickup from Cincinnati a year ago tonight kick off the evening right here on NBC with the funniest and hottest new show of the season Cole hi and also Paul make sure you have your McMillan's gametime from McDonald's because if your numbers are revealed during hole-high you can win at least at least it says a million dollars tonight on NBC second down and four and Logan has stopped David little the inside linebacker making the tackle David little is the younger brother of former dolphins all-pro guard Larry little and be sure to stay with us for more NFL action as we will present game two of our doubleheader most of you will see Marty Schottenheimer on the one-time coach of the Cleveland Browns go up against his former team but Carson of the Browns playing Kansas City Houston against the San Diego cats in New England will follow we suggest you check your local listings for the game in your area third down and four and Moreno incomplete would sit on the coverage of duper June forgot one hand on the ball Woodson was there but duper actually had him beat and the ball was thrown just a little bit too far the outside Marino talked to duper get there quicker miss Toby back at his 45 and Woodson dropping back to the Chen last week the Raiders were able to keep the ball away from Rod Woodson most of the afternoon and another poor kick by Roby he's been struggling kept it away from woods because he did and is is that right a 15 yard punt by Roby for 35 left and the third when David and Lisa Edmondson needed life insurance they came to see me I'm Kent Spearman their State Farm agent I help the Edmondson spit together a life insurance plan that works for them in their budget and I stay in touch as their needs growing change because that plan has to work for their children Rachel and Travis - if you want a life insurance that works for you get an agent that works for you get yourself a State Farm agent and actually equal their entire first half offense on their last drive as they did pick up 27 yards they concluded with a 35-yard field goal by Anderson they start out at the 26 and Tim Worley is having a mother long afternoon last week three carries 8 yards and formerly that is only his third carry and he has picked up only six yards for the day you know he's been verbal about a lot of things and now he's in the silent mode but the thing about Whirlies I mean he is an excellent running back and when the hole is not there it's difficult to be able to run you got to block somebody came on strong at the end of last season earlier in the year he has bubble problems but came up big at the end of the year here Brister with some time and it is drop worried should have had it it was covered by the inside linebacker clip Odom there was absolutely nothing wrong with that pass pattern bubby Brister hit him right in the hands with the ball he and Offerdahl was in front he just drops the ball

we have no word that he's hurt but Sammy Smith has not been in the game here it is the play here in Hinkle number 53 just moves into the hole and on this block by Richard Webb number 78 he was supposed to come across and hit hey Cole misses him if he hits him they had the first down Reggie Robbo had him Roby had himself an adventure with a 15 yard punt in his last attempt and this time gets

you know we talked about her right up front they're only averaged 180 yards in total offense a game and they're the only team in the National Football League under 200 yards it's hard to score third down and four from the 26 stones in motion and brisker with some time as the first down whoops Brooke taco beautiful running by Lewis lips you green finally put him down isn't it amazing when you have time to throw the football and that time bubby Brister had all the time he wanted to throw the football and finally Lewis lips gets open here comes lips downfield being covered by JB brown and the

the players didn't make it they arrived late last night also defensive end TJ turn arrived late he was in Houston for the funeral of his mother and did not start today Marino completing up the first down marker but good play by tween Woodruff to keep platon away and we'll have to see where they spotted it will be short of a first down here's here's another exciting spot even Marino's over talking to him because he caught the ball almost at the first down marker on the outside Clayton number 83 Woodruff is 49 now watch where he catches this ball right there at the market now watch where they mark the ball Woodruff look what it brings him back yeah that leads to the punting unit and will be with Park and the fair catch by Wilson 11:09 remaining in this the Steelers start out from their 9 lips to the left hill to the right dolphins 2106 and Brister kombucha from Hughley Mike Mularkey and his eighth year out of the University of Florida had a career-high seven receptions last week against the Raiders that his first catch of the day and he paid for it we want to see a collision watch this Hugh Green just drills him to steps bang and look at where malarkey ends up three yards back the other way that's solid second down and four at the 15 10 and a half remaining plays blown dead [Applause] before the snap false start number 16 second down Brian Blankenship Blankenship replacing John instra at the starting left guard position a difficult week for John our instruments at Annie problem his father has been seriously ill he is one of the inactives along with backup quarterback Neal O'Donnell and Blankenship who is a versatile lineman can play Center both guard positions as the starter at left guard second down and nine and Brister Hannigan in tenifer Earl Hodge we're set for another update let's go to Bob Costas and NFL live Marv in Buffalo the Broncos are doing it on the ground here's Sammy winder scoring from the three all three of their touchdowns have been rushing touchdowns Elway's thrown at only 15 times completing eight for 125 yards meanwhile Bobbie Humphrey is rushed for better than 140 yards himself and he has a touchdown 21 9 Broncos re bothers you see 10 minutes 3 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter here in Pittsburgh and bubby Brister looking at a third down [Music] [Applause] on the interception and Miami will have first and goal but I don't know if qu Rosa got it that hit the ball it might have been cross that hit it show some great hands here here it comes her Bobby's going to step up it looks like he's got fast feet here anyway and he steps up and he throws and a ball is tipped right at the line of scrimmage by number twenty-nine Lifford hog Lee Cooper OH catches it that's a great flame hob Lee's the man had knocked it down and touch ilk in shaken up and this crowd beginning to file out [Applause] that is the third time that Brister has been intercepted Eric Cooper all three year ban from ohio state an outside linebacker picking it up off the deflection and is a first and goal at the five Tony Paige terrific second effort refused to go down hardy Nickerson finally stopped them just short of the goal line Tony Paige with a continuous effort right into the line of scrimmage you take a look at the left-hand side of that line that's Webb and foster that's over there and the blocking is great but watch this looking here he's hit at the floor but watch where he ends up inside the one Nickerson's air but he needs some help it is a second and goal from the water Rick Strom the backup quarterback second-year pro from Georgia Tech warming up you see the movement [Applause] and we could see Strom take over for Brewster encroachment 9070 bans half the distance to the goal still second down 97 us Maryjo so it is now about a half yard to go for the for the touchdown there is strong why down the season five minutes to go in this fourth quarter page [Applause] no indication as of yet Nickerson had little stacked them up and they did stop him short of the goal Tony page in his days with the New York Jets was the goal line specialist the page goes right up the middle but the defensive line in the Pittsburgh Steelers in there one thing tell you this defense is they have not quit all day long 21 points were scored against it in the first half none so far here in the second half and this defense you know you talk about character they have character her kitchen emotion for the score [Applause] Wow doesn't like the call but Tony page again with the the second effort was able to get the ball across the plant of the goal line and the Dolphins extent believe right now lake makes a good play takes on the blocker to back field now watch you'll hit page here but the first thing you got to think about is where the ball is now the ball got in then hardy Nickerson pulls him back and so does Lake but the ball had already crossed the playing the goal line according to the official third touchdown of the season for Paige the other two on receptions 20-page in his seventh year and a Virginia Tech has been a valuable addition to this dolphin squad Miami now leads 27 to 6 and story animage comes on for the point after crowd continues to file out the crusher for the Steelers the interception by Coomer Oh down to the five yard line off the deflection 27 make it 28 to 6 dolphins 8:21 two-year-old in before Miami Dolphins for the 28th six lead now the Pittsburgh Steelers we've heard from Bob Costas today on a number of occasions during the course of his updates but you've been very low-key with Bob you've been tormenting him recently when I got his golf clubs with him Bobby this is a baggie mr. bills alumni tournament so I got this bag for you clubs were ready we're sorry you couldn't make it we'll see you next year we'll keep your bag warm a penalty marker is down as Dwight stone returns the kickoff a 37 yard return by stone and let's see if we'll see Rick's prompt check in for bubby Brister illegal block from behind number 99 on a run back pin yard first down first they bring it back AJ Jenkins bandos called on the penalty and here comes as is usually the case the backup always hears it at least for the first series yeah they do it be nice and strong could have had the ball at the 40 yard line and sent it back down on the 10 yard line so bubby Brister 7 for 1876 yards another rough day for bubby three interceptions the Pittsburgh offense not getting anything going for the fourth straight week and rich Strom in a second season at a Georgia Tech focus on his first snap and then recovers Herman was right there but strum able to cover up now last year strum through one-pass against the Jets did not complete it made brief relief appearances in three games was bumpy looking on out pittsburgh signed Strom as a free agent last year he was dropped and then was signed to the Steelers developmental squad he is a native of Pittsburgh and Alex at a second down and 13 and strobus on the wrong and gets out to the nine timber kyer is there to make the stop set for another update let's go to Bob Costas and NFL live all right Marv the Colts getting closer in Philadelphia here's a 26 yard run for the touchdown by Albert Bentley watch the stutter step to get by Terry Hogue and it's 20 to 17 very interesting on Tamra moment ago Marv I note that my golf bag is nearly as small as Paul McGuire's bookshelf I like that Bob working hours on that one well he's quick kid is quick it is a third down and 11 and scrum to throw short of the first down he was covered by the right quarter JB Brown will punt and you can hear the reaction Dan Straczynski will check in following the Dolphins and the Steelers second half of the doubleheader we suggest you check local listings can you see people checking local listings yeah you can like to say that check your local listings but I guess they will check it the big one Cleveland Kansas City but Carson having his difficulties the Browns one up and and two down and former Cleveland Brown head coach Marty Schottenheimer would love to put a further dent into that Brown record Tony Martin the fair catch 43-yard punt so miami takes over with six minutes four seconds remaining in this fourth quarter other games Houston playing at San Diego the Jets at New England that is the second half of our doubleheader here on NBC thinking about strong when he got in the game he misses a snap from center that's the first thing happens on a first place second second play is a busted play again I mean that was not a design quarterback run and then he completes the pass for eight yards and they have to punt and Scott C culés has come on providing a rest for Dan Marino C culés in his third season out of Virginia final stats on Marino 17 420 at 174 yards one touchdown one interception very strong game mark Higgs three-year man from Kentucky the ball carrier stopped by Greg Lloyd so Don Shula now doing some shuffling with the 28 to 6 lead everybody talks about the Marino 300 games when he came in in the amount of garbage that he is mounted in all the years he's played but the one thing about Marino that he that he says I don't care if I throw for a hundred yards as long as we win the football game and that's his attitude it's not important to build up stats the only important one is the win-loss column well his unhappiness was a major concern of the day offseason on happiness concerning his contract which the feeling is the Dolphins will take care of and in short time it takes again also unhappy about the dolphins mediocre play in recent seasons but now with the look of a running game the way Sammy Smith has played in three of the four Miami contests things seem to be looking up and reportedly his relationship with Don Shula had deteriorated over the years but apparently that is now back in a positive mode and Dan Marino had himself a solid a although as you say the statistics were not explosive don't have to be as long as they win that man I mean he is a competitor and enjoying it back here in his hometown of Pittsburgh Stratford Oh battling for a first down penalty marker throw Gerald Williams able to get Stratford out about out of four and a half remaining in this fourth quarter and the hold against the Dolphins now the Blue Jays over the Red Sox in the sixth inning Cubs maintaining the lead over the Mets pirates and Cardinals in st. Louis no score in the fifth magic number for Pittsburgh offense ten-yard repeat third down that is the third holding penalty on the Miami Dolphins who are rarely penalized but when they are it's usually for a whole I think T you know the Miami Dolphins it gets it near the end it gets sloppy with both teams but the Miami Dolphins really really had a game plan coming in her offensively and defensively I think they just shut down the running game totally in the Pittsburgh and as a third down into high snap handle bicycles and nice play good recovery by miss tuffsy kills Rod Woodson on the tackle that's a design she cules play Reno doesn't have that one in his book C Scott going what six foot three to 20 and there is the final stat line on Dan Marino he has faced the Steelers now seven times and this will make it five wins in the in the seven games he had lost his previous two including they come from behind victory by Pittsburgh last year in Miami in the downpour so Robi back to punt from his 32 Rod Woodson waiting for the pot at his tent [Music] battles the low snap he needs the tackle attempt that was African grandma who went flying and the path of what's in a 41-yard punt by roving mic Reichenbach with the stop tomorrow night meet the freshest new faces in comedy The Fresh Prince of bel-air and Ferris Bueller followed by a 10 BC world premiere movie a promise to keep scarring Dana Delany of China Beach and you could win at least a million dollars when you watch Ferris Bueller and play make millions right here on NBC Rick Stroud and his second series and taking over for bubby Brister starting from the 8 10-yard line at his Hodge of motion safety Jarvis Williams getting to him Jarvis Williams has had a great day on defense I mean he is caused some problems for the Pittsburgh Steelers he blitzed a couple of times but the bubby Brister in the first half but coming to your right there's worldly number 38 and what's Jarvis come in right now gets away from burl Hodge he does not block him at all and he takes him down by his votes second down and nine at the 19 through the clouds swamp stop by Jeff cross and a flag is down make it worse for the Steelers the hold is against that I'd refused this play you know you know when the team's playing bad when even the wives of the party 65 up in penalties decline that's roulette psycho John Jackson and he's holding Jeff cross number 91 you see it right the left to your screen and that's that's wholly the worst part about it is the guy not only you're holding the guy beat you in and makes the tackle sacks the quarterback bird and 16 back at the 12 dolphins 28 and the Steeler six time running down in the fourth quarter nice catch by Derrick hill so rich strong with his first equation Jarvis Williams on the stop and it is a rare first down for the Steelers it is only their seventh of the game's dry Mitchill but just take a look at again we saw with even with bubby as long as they have time they can make the play but keyers the guy that went for the ball and missed it misjudged the ball here's the first down nice catch with total of seven only one of the first half and they got that in the final minute strong with a deep drop [Applause] I picked up 21 Oliver on the stop [Applause] and another first down for the siller's I met at 55 remaining fourth-quarter we'll take a break back after these were to go in Buffalo Denver on the verge of going up 24 9 but the field goal blocked return for a touchdown and then this donkey balls [Applause] they missed the extra point but then Elway fumbled and buffalo has just recovered on the three an unbelievable reversal of fortunes from the Broncos and Buffalo poised for the win Marvin Bari Bob saw the Buffalo Bills coming off the victory over the Jets on Monday night turning it around here against the Broncos and at 55 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Pittsburgh Steelers have a first out of they Miami 45 yard-line play action Pittsburgh first down 14 yard pass football the Steelers have run only nine plays in Miami territory throughout the day [Applause] but a long time trying to get in there first out at the 30 watt pushed to the first down Wilford hotly on the stop course in this situation Rick Strom on the Steelers are facing a prevent alignment with Miami giving up quite a bit in terms of the medium-range passes penalty markers all over the place to put it to ellipse let's see what the call is you know you sit in a situation like that we talked to Tom Oliver daddy about this yesterday and it's against this movement against the Pittsburgh Steelers but with Tommy sick you know when I'm in a situation I get up 28 to 6 we're going to sit back we're going to give him the short stuff and if they're going to run off three or four minutes still second down this one against the tight end Mike Mularkey intriguing article in today's Pittsburgh breasts what with the Steelers having all kinds of offensive woes so suggestions were made by by fans concerning what is the problem with the Pittsburgh offense and they received some interesting replies someone wrote that the Steelers are victims of a conspiracy masterminded by Jerry Glanville transformed himself into an exact replica of Elvis and then invited the players to a party that the Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin will but all these weren't particularly good taste it should be pointed out it's a second down and six goes from that's the fifth sack of the day for Miami about a penalty marker also thrown cross and ovals be involved on the sack holding number 60 offense penalty is gonna go that's Brian kinship about this I mean it's just getting sloppy now and traumas going back and watch this whole thing cave-in here comes frost again he just he's just having a great day well another yellow hanky another fan says that the Steelers are just too clean he's not talking about sportsmanship he suggests that all the offensive players quit taking showers Sunday finally will come but they'll be so offensive the opposing defense will allow them to waltz into the end zone here's scrum throwing and poking out Jennifer here took a pretty good shot if that ball would have been on target Lifford Hobley might have had his first interception today Prabhas now five four six 76 yards looking ahead the second half of our NBC doubleheader will feature the grounds and the Chiefs playing at Kansas City Houston goes against San Diego and the Jets and New England next week the Dolphins home for the Jets and then hold for New England while Pittsburgh next Sunday back here for San Diego then to the road for Denver and San Francisco Strom took the hit hit by Jeff Ross who has had an outstanding day the pass incomplete with 52 seconds remaining in this fourth quarter well it looks like Pittsburgh goes four straight games without a touchdown I don't know if that's a record but it's a bad average yes thank you mark I mean very well captured Paul tonight start off the night with one of the funniest and hottest new shows on NBC the season premiere of hole high and then don't miss the premiere of a critically acclaimed new series its life stories followed by an all-new Perry Mason mystery that'll be Perry Mason the case of the defiant daughter tonight right here on NBC it has been a very happy journey to Pittsburgh for Don Shula the lay of game is taken by the dolphins just looking to run the clock out now with 52 seconds remaining saw the dolphins took over on downs first down from the 15th I should say first and 15 from the 29 running it out NFL lives postgame coming up Halloween Abbey in Pittsburgh Bob will and OJ plus an interview with NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue be responding to the New England Patriot situation that was discussed earlier today with Patriot owner Victor Cayenne [Applause] at least the olsen of the boston herald in the midst of that ridiculous situation actually often a New England Pittsburgh with only a hundred and sixty total yards only nine first out couple of touchdowns by Sammy Smith a 35 yard pass play from Marino to Clayton Pittsburgh scoring two field goals by Gary Andersen from 46 and from 35 and then in the fourth quarter Tony Paige roasted off with that one-yard run to make it 28 six of that the final as time has run out on the Steelers another woeful performance offensively as they fall to one and three while Miami now with a record of three up and one down the Dolphins look ahead to the Jets next Sunday
