San Diego won the toss they elected to receive and Eric B enemy will be the return man he has had a fumble itis problem they were using Nate Louis as a return man in practice this week but they decided to go with Eric Gary Anderson will be kicking up and the way that he has been kicking off this year the enemy doesn't have anything to worry about he says it deep in the end zone and right off the bat I want to mention something I think it's time that the touch pad goes out to the 10th I'll accept that it's almost as if now that everybody can kick it into the end zone why bother to run it out I mean we're getting too many pitch backs it's time to take it out to the 10 let's make these guys rohtul back and we are underway the enemy from a couple of yards deep in the end zone ease to the 15 across the 22 return to around the 22 yard line he must have been listening for the San Diego Chargers Dan Humphreys is the quarterback number 12 this is his second start for San Diego and he will have an h-back Derrick Walker Marian butts will start as his running back with Anthony Miller and Nate Lewis the wide receivers Delaney on the tight end Swain boat and Paul Richards and go has the offensive line for San Diego market at the 20 where the charges will go to [Applause] and no surprises they start on the ground six up five yards hardy Nickerson makes the tackle defensively for the Steelers have run seven Davidson Williams Evans Gerald Williams Nickerson level on Laura and that secondary Woodson Johnson Lake all and Perry and the Steelers as you know by now i interceptions on the year check it down in five the motion he has a couple years to the 30-yard line that would be third down and three good play by good play by Gerald Williams number 57 outside backer he of the flo-jo garb notice the one sleeve on one sleeve off cuts inside takes on the guard and forces Butz to alter his path which is supposed to be a little bit farther to the outside the result is only a two yard gain for the 250-pound or from Florida State Gerald Williams a key to their defense in terms of pass rush because thus far the front three of second season [Applause] offensive he is the that's too [Applause] roni roni Harmon has been invaluable to the San Diego offense 59 catches last year he averaged six yards okay now there really isn't much here watch what does with his feet this is something you can't teach bouncing to the outside Rodney Hartman out runs Gerald Williams to the sidelines DJ Johnson of ours pushes him out but not before he gets the first down san Diego's ball on their own 37 yard line opening drive no score you saw on his jersey the little captain thing I think it's very worth noting there in the graphic the fact that he was a team MVP pretty impressive considering he's not a starter bursting to the 42-yard line so he picks up five yards on the first down it'll be second down and five very unlike the San Diego Chargers office from this standpoint and that is that they're going with a two back said you can see Ronnie Harmon the lead blocker which is streaks is his only 2:05 but rod Bernstein homers first-round picks someone that many foe is going to be a Pro Bowl tight in has established himself here in the league and early appearance for Roth Bernstein normally we do not see in that early in the ballgame he told us yesterday he is uncomfortable in his role as a backup maybe somebody at first entirely different kinds of rudder more of a slant very invested a little bit stronger over power runner Donald Evans with the style this games taking on the pace that Bill Cowher mentioned could yesterday said you guys this could be the fastest game in this one terms the fact that obviously both teams want to establish the run third down and three I continue to kill kid bill about the fact that with each succeeding when his IQ jumps and points let's improve with everyone that's it's got everything yeah they're down a three [Applause] goes deep to Miller because he hold on have been without a big place this is the biggest of the season Woodson jettison Stan Humphries wants to go underneath the Harmon and they actually have kind of Brad could coverage you're on Miller looking Woodson Desmond to the outside Griffin has into the inside but Humphreys one throw right on the money 21 yard line to the Steelers again opening drive no score 11 10 left to go 1st quarter fire the last season anthe Miller had had back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons and it's no secret but this is the man that they have to go to and I think he really has something to prove here in 92 but he's back to the kind of form the made him an all-pro and San Diego back to their running game but to the 15-yard line and for and again San Diego with five and six yards rushing of the first down that's the key to the bar it certainly is a lot of people forget the Marion butts was a blocking back at Florida State but they found out that he ran like a four five eight four six 540 and they figure you know if you mean that the way he does with 250 pounds like I might get some yardage of course two years ago you were calling at 1200 plus yards in his first Pro Bowl parents Marion butts with a 4.3 yard average Bernstein as a 5.8 yard and back to a pick up a couple of more to the throw to the 12 yard line it was funny about that for the fans that watch these things closely it's really a big thing for defensive people to put the man on their back there at the if you can see Marian bus struggling for the Artic and they're going we're going to put him on his back and show him but it's 6-1 250 pounds you better have some serious arm strength if you did with the Bucks I was back now San Diego and this drive is converted on third and three twice [Applause] on bass - Anthony no but stay at the middle he's got it first down sandy give credit to harry Swain and Eric boatman there one of the things that the charges wanted to exploit was their size upfront take a look coming off the ball taking them right out of the play that's that's too big a hole taking too many gifts is there in the defensive line as soon as you slant leave a hole Marion bus is going to exploit it first down go to go seven yard line by this job as they were stringing out the offensive San Diego and took Marion all the way to the sidelines what area Aaron Jones does here as he gets up field too quick you can see he he just pushes the right tackle back in the back pushes Leo go as out of the way and makes the play Aaron Jones back in 1988 Charlie was a first-round pick and there they've been a little disappointed with him they wanted do more of this over the past three years and as yet he does it in spurts and bill counters looking to him to take the lead Lhasa for 11 yard line second down goal to go no score again opening drive just over eight minutes [Applause] steps away then he grows by made line [Applause] Lag we have three of them down Sumerian butts bang his head and Haggerty is the referee [Applause] Ilia motion offense 372 various way doesn't we put your home watching football restaurant Pat faculty like when we were younger and seen those always Tommy Bell it was done we're gonna get every game does he do and ejecta the ten-minute dhikr Minnesota coming from behind New Orleans over Atlanta in the close one goes over the ball now the 16 yard line at his second down eleven so he picks up five yards on the bloodiest third down and goal to go what sitting Greg Boyd on the time yeah yeah Rockets on the tackle is more like Rod Woodson I arrived pathetic let's take a look when he comes up to meet Barry and buts right to the right of your screen here comes Mary and putz coming up the field you're gonna see here's Rod Woodson meet him go oh look out oh my goodness thank goodness that he had some help there was Gerald Williams on his way otherwise Woodson finds himself on his back slot is saying I've got him hurry hurry him get this as a credit though to Rod Woodson there a lot of quarterbacks in the league who wouldn't want to come up and take on eh back just shy of the five yard line [Applause] woodson again with us dot big stop too because if it's not Rod Woodson it's a touchdown take a look six foot 200 pounds taking on six five 250 going for the legs nice tackle there by Rod Woodson and John Carney comes in

strzelczyk as you mentioned [Applause] second down for the tight end even but back by the charger demon Henry rolling and Floyd field for San Diego let's look at the defense with Grossman winner Thornton and O'Neil rolling plumber and say ow the linebackers Joburg Blaylock fields and Stanley Richard in the secondary one of the best things I think that Bobby Ross's staff has done is put jr. sail on the outside where he can be a force holopax willing Derrick Thomas and of course the great healthy and when we talked to Jason [Applause] so for this dealers it they put on a pretty decent rush but Camille O'Donnell just threw the ball too quickly you threw it far but before Mills was out of his brain he didn't have any chance [Applause] the temperature in the low 80s this afternoon here in the stadium the cloud or two in the sky and no in the enemy to the point [Applause] and it stopped just short of second baby [Laughter] Chargers lead at three so I stopped at the car wash on

minimal game good job by Darren parry come in from the secondary to hold it to only a three yard game third down in 7 the ball at the 40-yard line along with Shawn Shepard [Applause] good protection helmet is not Eric Moton lost his helmet I give you the best pass pressure number 57 Gerald Williams watch your coming completely under the chin that could have been if the official would have seen that that could have been enhanced to the face penalty but he didn't and as they say that's the balls rust and it will be down around the 20 around the 18 yard line inside the 20 the Steelers have a

step into this paradise would be your last Kathy Ireland danger item 10 BC tonight L Nardo Webster stir the rookie from Rutgers is the injured player one of the best special teams players in fact that's the reason he made the team we actually talked with him last night he had that look on his face like some days I just wake up and I can't believe that I'm here his ankle folded underneath Charles Davenport the wide receiver you'll get a chance to see watch familiar screen it's number 92 Russia's just passed the punter there you see 92 watch his left ankle fall underneath number 80 Davin but right there right there you can see his left foot is caught underneath the eighth and Davenport twisting his ankle there and again tough that it happened right there on the infield we asked him about his name al Nardo it said his grandmother made it up the LS from her name which is jewel use the to letter and Bernard was his grandfather and then he just handed the nose where's the outcome doubt I would just do that let's do that [Applause] and he will pick up about five yards on the play it will be second down and five George Thornton with a look at number 55 at the point of attack what's the right of your screen watch Junior's sale he gets blocked he's out of the play look at this he's blocked gun now watch what he does sprint this is the speed of number 55 getting back in the play you know he told me his best 40 time was four five nine but I bet he could run that in pads two was a big difference between running those great 40 times and shorts and putting the pass on [Applause] Junior Seau winter gee I wish the junior to just get a little bit more enthusiasm for the game take a look at the intensity of this guy they run foster right at him I'm not really a good decision what's the quickness and strength just shoves the guard out of the way right there and Foster's face pulling him backwards ramani Dawson the center usually does a better job of that but when you have the quickness of sale you can push them out of the way and do whatever you want chaos he wants to be one [Applause] and the pass is complain maril ha crawling with the tacko first down Steelers as they convert on a third and four barrel Hodge one of the best all-around backs in football number 33 catching the ball on a crossing pattern he has Henry rolling man for man that's a mismatch Hodge getting the necessary first half of the seat Steelers and the the first real offenses fight for Pittsburgh in the ballgame two minutes to go first quarter San Diego leads three nothing he'll roll out of their opening drug this game going fast enough for it is it's a quick they said it would be look at God she said we're going to maybe one you just say that they called rotted up heads off he'll fall you confirmed it you confirmed it don't put it all on me forty second time up forty said when did he call the timeout well I think that what they had is they had a play-action pass and they didn't have the right formation so he's gonna come over to Bill Cowher and make sure that the right people are in the huddle next Sunday NBC Sports presents an action-packed NFL doubleheader starting with the early game San Diego Houston Denver and in most of the country will see the second half of the doubleheader and that's Pittsburgh against Green Bay going to 90% of the country in Green Bay coming from behind to win with 2423 an interesting note in that Pittsburgh Green Bay game those of you that had a chance to see it Terrell Buckley the year-long holdout for the Green Bay Packers finally got in the game such as a punt goes 60 putts for a touchdown I mean it must be something in the Florida State water Deion Sanders can show up and do it and then the next week Buckley shows up the only score in this ball game John carnies 24 yard field goal [Applause] 6:52 mine in the [Applause] comes back right as his he Leroy Thompson sale with the tackle does a good job by O'Donnell he wanted to come left to Dwight stone but then he signed covered and came back to Thompson good job of getting to his secondary receiver and again him seven on first down watch O'Donnell look to the left a three-step drop wants to get it there quickly but there's nobody there good protection enables him to come back to Thompson who just misses a facemask here white right there junior say out please he's just so strong it looked like a face for that second down enjoy [Applause] when we talked to Barry Foster yesterday you asked him about the fumble and a reality said I'm not known for fumbles i fumble three times I don't even bother to think about well you wait he said it I didn't want to ask a follow-up question yeah exactly well of course you know nobody wants to fumble three times in a game but if I guess what you can follow up with 190 yards and two touchdowns coaches will take that you can see the statistics he had last week because see how they match up that's one of the more impressive totals in steel history first down 48 yard-line [Applause] and it's going outside Jeff Graham outside lay like with the cover it's good coverage there by Tony Blaylock he had head what you call it deep out route Blaylock breaks to the ball it's a little bit high not even close both feet are out of bounds so it will be second down the ball back at the 48 yard line there's a man right there number 81 Jeff Graham who has been really the go-to guy now of course something we'll get into a little bit later with they're letting go of their rights to Lewis lips he becomes [Applause] great power 46 yard line of San Diego Charlie you're right Stanley riches came up and met him that didn't face foster home not at all into the first quarter charges lead in three two

gotta be real proud so we have your savings in having savings and kind of savings the bike did me a favor talk to my brother pain weather and probably manage that money a lot better than the bank this is my savings were talking about him it's mean house was broke was supposed to know what I need very foster on that last drop lay it looked like it was open that he was gonna go a long ways then Stanley Richard comes up to close it but it's not in slow motion take a look at this a regular speed you can get a feel the collision between Foster and Richards of the secondary Wow keeps his legs running and foster wind exactly right in that case he certainly does when Bill Cowher said this about him in terms of Barry Foster's load will continue to give bears the ball until his body parts fall off and you ask you about that yes he wasn't that thrilled he said 20 dives that's enough I know what the I don't want 30 the long collisions like that will be somebody fire smoking [Applause] that's an excellent play by Henry rollin showing the speed from the outside bagger initially fooled by the play action he cuts to the outside and of course in the past you know people like jr. say oh and Billy Ray Smith Henry Raleigh hasn't really gotten his due but he plays an excellent all-around outside backer with the San Diego Chargers that's a big tackle right there preventing a first down of the Steelers Gill O'Donnell thinking that he has the first down once again give it all and credit on pursuit mark royal will be kicking this is Gilbert who is the return and that's a bit of a now what it is here Charlie's at their peril the 45-yard line what I was about to say charlie is a reason that they had the reason that they had I think was Donald Frank back there was because of the fact that they remember two games ago when the Pittsburgh Steelers in a similar situation the 45 yard line ran the fake punt and so they were in their safe situation they didn't want anything to happen they wanted to make sure that the ball got down and of course it didn't matter his royal count was off 19 yards on the hit here's here's Gilbert back there no no no he's not saying incomplete he's saying what he's saying that the coaches used to say when I was fine they say Peter Peter Peter Peter Peter how was your direction we said get away from here [Applause] right at the market you needed ten I think he picked it up let's see Darren Barry and Gerald Williams with the tackle is another loan Gerald Williams the nose tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is the biggest guy on the line at 290 pounds the other defensive man's only go about 260 and the outside backer if Gerald Williams and Greg Lloyd for about two and a quarter and when you have an offensive line like the Chargers which averages to 90 plus that's where you're going to try and take advantage and so far that's exactly the San Diego to the right side to the outside he's got back-to-back first in a lake along with him and it looks like Carnell might have got a piece of the Facemash there at the end give Jack Riley and Bobby Ross credit here they've come out with some very different formations that quite frankly have confused the Pittsburgh defense they set Ronny Harmon out in the slot and watch the left of your screen there's nobody out there and contain hardy Nickerson comes out and all go has to do is push them to the outside and Bernstein has it open by the eyes nose bang got a little piece of the cursor and again he's got a pelvic I might wait to find the lens a 15-yarder I mean he really take a look right here at the end of the play to get him down does he need the facemask to get him down look at Carnell like pull on it boy oh boy that's dangerous that is one that could have justified a 15-yard penalty but they call it four five and the ball is fight of the pittsburgh 45 first down [Applause] Ronnie Harmon out wide that takes away the run support of Gregoire six yards to the 39 [Applause] so he's picked up a quick 27 yards in this year arguably two of the best players on the defense arm Pittsburgh Steelers are their outside backers Gerald Williams and Greg Lloyd occurs Greg Widow Pro Bowler last year the foot flexed Aguada Harbor and that takes away their run support then it becomes four-on-three in the interior we can see the results 12:25 time remaining first half san diego leading three nothing play-action fake Humphries goes just out of his DJ Johnson with the coverage that he brought even though it's incomplete I like that call they've been completely dominating the Steelers with the run now a complete surprise he has him on the post look at that he concedes estim sport he's almost trying to aim it right down the middle and he just misses Miller for the touch they'll bring it back to the 39 yard line it'll be third down and four of course the downside of that gamble now is instead of having to say third and one that they might work but running by now they have third and five that's a very different situation and we go [Applause] as of late coming it's picked up as pressure he's hit he had time to throw those good beverage by the steel but when we talk to a defensive coordinator as the defensive backfield people of the Pittsburgh Steelers the one thing they said with regards to Stan Humphries in experience you're absolutely right they pick up the Blitz he has plenty of time he's looking he's padding the ball he can't find the receiver that it needs and then that comes with experience as soon as the Blitz comes you see the veteran quarterbacks I know right who to go to when that case stand-ins resolves and that was Aaron Jones putting on the pressure John kid will be kicking the Chargers ever played take a look at the Steelers are standing up in the same safe situation [Applause] yard Chargers leading three nothing 12 minutes after the birthday [Applause] [Music] [Applause] with its drivers and passenger side airbags an automatic seat

the jokin is here he has that elbow problem but they wanted him here because he's the veteran 13 years had stability [Applause] you got to find first class that's right story we'll get into the later O'Donnell goes deep fireside Jeff Brown his 14th reception of the season I asked Jeff gram if he could take advantage of Tony Blaylock he said that he thought he could because Tony Blaylock was small look at Blaylock's coverage here it's excellent coverage he's right with him step for step but watch when it turns into a jump ball watch number 81 he goes up Blaylock in bad position big play for the Steelers 42 yards on the play to the San Diego 38 yard line good coverage right there Blaylock should cut in front and take the chance right there to knock the pass down even if he collides with him [Applause] and he has nine maybe ten yards on first down after we play Locke with exactly good job with the middle of the line by hassel rig and Dawson to open the hole for for Merrill Hodge much left your stretches to the right of your screen rather Hodge cuts through the hole shielding Plummer off because the outside he doesn't have quite the speed to get to the outside but you got a figure to Bill Cowher has to be half about what's happening on the field right now that's another statement as we check out the 10-minute ticker please when leading the Raiders 14 another of course today if you sign it up alive you know that the Los Angeles Raiders made the quarterback switch to taught and renovage for please why that score would indicate he's not playing any defense nor is anybody else you know what I like that I like that as a player you know I remember during the 70s and early 80s it was very bold you know to have the head coach who wasn't very dumansky [Applause] as a player Chuck mole as well as a player I like some of this involved like I see the top notice somewhat of a sober character [Applause] and I like that I think the players feed off and Hajj picks up the first down Stanley Richard with the tack of going back to the Cleveland Raider game and Todd Phil Cox with a four yard touchdown pass to Eric Metcalf and then Eric Metcalf for Cleveland scoring the second touchdown from six yards away is that the game billed as the Battle of the Todd Sanders but it is your absolute [Applause] [Applause] so I know referre Cooper an 80-yard Drive the National Football League what they look for the tight end now besides being a blockers his ability in the two deep zone watch the safeties go right and left and O'Donnell was sail right in his face puts the touch right on the ball what a great throw that was Cooper takes the shot in the end zone but that's too late you're not gonna knock down 65 to 60 and the extra point attempt by Gary Anderson [Applause] flag is down isn't it funny Adrienne Cooper's the one that moves he's obviously too excited about his touchdown and their who was moving on the line and it's going to cost him five [Applause] twelve stars private Smith number 87 he's still excited about the touchdown why of course now he was stylet except for he got confused you're supposed to do the dance in the end zone that at the line of scrimmage [Applause] it's maybe forgotten the Enzoani unrendered on a fall fall you're gonna hear from you know he's gonna two touchdowns last year [Applause] now infuriate the kickers you go ahead [Applause]

have that kind of enthusiasm in this day and age of nonchalant athletes who just aren't getting paid enough money are getting you're absolutely right he's just happy to be there pushing the back on the return number 34 that's on Steve Hendrickson so San Diego will start on off it's from their own 10-yard line [Applause] this burg leading 73 954 time remaining first half [Applause] San Diego would Rob Bernstein he has the lioness party Nickerson was there well at the risk of redundant yes the momentum has changed some quite early in the game of course the emotion of San Diego flowing in the running attack not a good cut here by burns he cuts right back into hardy Nickerson he'll play was to the outside but you have to go back to the inside and pay the price [Applause] Derrick Walker India's back of [Applause] Miller comes in motion to do about nothing but what they're trying to do is sooner they have a philosophy here and that is to you run the same place but you're on them and diverse formations one of the things that they had done earlier in the first quarters that they had a number of formations where they had Ronnie Harmon flex down they also had some to back offense now they go back to their standard two and three tighten packages and they're painfully predictable as witnessed by the fact that the Steelers just stuck with and is third down and end of all of the San Diego 10-yard line that the Steelers can hold here three it out for San Diego Pittsburgh will start with excellent field position [Applause] the line contact made by the Steelers if it was against San Diego for motion they'll take it back to the five-yard line automatic call Harry swaying the left tackle mayor move [Applause] ballpark movements before the snap often [Applause] Erik Mota evidently is the man here looking left guard stand exactly right good call by the official so it's back to the five and it is third down and Jefferson comes why he's in there side to the far side update from the engine this tobacco's he is going to be short of the first down Rod Woodson always let him get away and then had just a piece of him to bring him down she actually gets up by Rod Woodson yeah Nate Lewis catches the pass yeah he escapes a little bit but he knows how far they have to go for the first down almost gets away there but thank goodness for tacna 500 yeah and the tail of the jersey he was banging on here is the kick Woodson is the retirement he loves to return calls for the fair catch at the 33-yard line he does it all he returns the intercepts he blocks field goal attempt he hangs on to the tail of the jersey back at all only Delta gives you more flights from over here to over there only Delta Phi's you nonstop to more cities from over here to over there in fact only Delta

whatever fixes he can to help the drivers predict them everyone has about the same access to equipment in technology but the people who rub on it the most and think the most of it and think about it the most you end up winning the race [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] with its drivers and passenger side airbags an automatic seat belt tensioners the Acura Legend is more than a luxurious choice it's also a rather safe one its premiere week on NBC tonight on an all-new secret service an undercover agent walks a thin line between his duty and desire based on the actual case then if I witness an extreme skier take an incredible fall and see this woman survive an attack five wails and all the Ohio witness video after Secret Service on NBC tonight Bill Cowher doesn't want people to be surprised about the attitude of winning football games and this is a feeling you should feel every week if you don't feel this way there should be a sense of disappointment now if you're going up Charlie here in their third game of the season every single game they've fallen behind that every single time they've come back and Johnson boy they're supposed to and foster with a flag coming down picks up about three yards on the play Gilbert with exactly Dwight's tone Dwight still tried to tackle Gilbert Gilbert came in to make the play and he had a hold of him and they're gonna move it back to his my guess he didn't do a very good job tackling him no no he didn't study Bruce Baumgartner's moves over the Olympics that ability like John Smith for Kenny money to take them down like that's not Dwight's thing [Applause] before to 6:40 you're not much for greco-roman wrestling you don't need to be nobody can catch it arrested I still learn six to four plus four to six six to four new the numbers are in their self [Applause] one slipped your screen you're gonna see Gilbert on the run support now watch it white stone does he right at the last pushes him right into Barry Foster and that's what the official saw that's why they moved it back to maybe their bank in from the spot of the foul and so they spotted the ball at the 27 yard and so the dam will go over and we'll be first down 1717 this [Applause] down in flat [Applause] about 30 yards away once again same situation Jeff Graham on the other side of the field clips Toni Blaylock on the screenplay good job of setting it up and it was an excellent block by Dramani Dawson on Gary Plummer but in cutting back Jeff ramp gets play longer than anyone on the outfit bus number 81 come to your screen I watch what he does here to number 37 Blaylock he's got his back to him he's got to leave him alone I see the problem there is his head is on the back side that actually was a clip as what that call should have been but when it when his head is on the backside of Blaylock referees gotta throw the flag and to him did now they've all spotted at the 23-yard line pythagoras crews doing arson job [Applause] and it's going to be first down in 21 Yello Donald seven of nine 88 yards in the touchdown [Applause] first in 21 a fossil 31 yard line he picks up eight on the blood San Diego defense there has to be cognizant the best what's gonna happen you're two straight plays have gone bad for Pittsburgh you know that they're going to do something safe they're not going to throw down the field drop play is a standard play in this situation for him to get ten yards on that that's you know the Chargers have to be hip to that sort of thinking Villar sparker one of the all-time great defensive coordinators and that's no exaggeration he has been around the block or somebody who has just about every place years maybe having more fun with protection [Applause] where'd he go down at the 40-yard line so he'll pick up nine is going to be third down and about Leila is the man who was there for San Diego has to take a look at 36 years of coaching here bill irons smarter Miami of Ohio Ohio State Kentucky to lay in Baltimore 1972-74 of course he was the defensive coordinator of that famous no-name defense went to three straight Super Bowls they see two stints as a head coach of New York and LSU 88 Florida but you really miss being on the sidelines so here he is back in San Diego and Bobby Ross to staff doing what I think he feels he does best third down and four [Music] Pass is complete first down and remember a moment ago is first down in 21 after a pair of penalties and now the ball at the 46 yard line of San Diego as I say a little frustration on the part of the defense one of the most difficult routes to cover here is the slant route I thought that the coverage by Gilbert was a little passive there it appeared to me that it was with him step for step it didn't want to go through his backhand and take the chance of an interference penalty but give Mills credit he makes the catch and as you said it's a lot of yardage to pick up that really deflate the defense first down San Diego 46 yard line Steelers lead at 7 3 moving on the five-minute mark by remaining in the first half white stone the motion get a yard that's about it very plumber got jr. sale makes the play however that's a bit of a mismatch you pitch out and the barrel Hodge has to take on junior se out pushes him to the inside and Plummer on the script gets him watch number 55 you see Meryl Hodge coming up field pushes them to the outside but that forces him back inside and there's Plummer and Grossman make the tackle you know it's interesting when you ask you about the the Samoans that the junior say all the Samoans that have played in the National Football League he is the the biggest star that they have had a it's not a pressure on me but I do represent the Samoa and he said it was a proud man play-action fake and flagged you down whistle sound [Applause] well sorry before the snap number 67 [Applause] love former offensive linemen in general we had a chance to chat with last night I tried to I tried to get him into a comparison situation with Eric Dickerson and very fostered you can see but look at his face is so it looks very run a few more games you try problems and I was even know how he could throw them he said he said yeah I said I I can't understand his accident I don't know what he's calling you know what in truth I understand exactly this talk of the devil my first you are the Raiders Kenny Stabler coming in [Applause] I could never get to keep track of all here's the thing less we are here again fairly well-documented are the travails of Lesley O'Neill first-round pick back in 1986 set a rookie record for sacks with 12 and a half and then have reconstructive knee surgery but still he was able to get back to the Pro Bowl and you can see right there getting across John Jackson with the one hand pulls him down watch the right side of your screen number 91 remember to Neal O'Donnell this isn't a small quarterback that shows the strength of less Sonia we're talking about six three to thirty he just pulled down with one ain't notice the visor he's looking at this game to roll the devil made me do it incomplete Ernie Mills the intended receiver and the chargers demons asserting themselves it was blaze winner who was putting the pressure on Niall O'Donnell good coverage too by Toni Blaylock watch blaze winner he's gonna come from the right of your screen right at the last minute he hits O'Donnell but they had their nickel package they had seven people in coverage Niels Saint come on blaze alright plays over relax back plays winter an interesting story that we'll be telling you about he is almost totally deaf in his right ear but he says that Jerry Plummer the middle linebacker shouts all the changes at him the enemy makes a couple of nice return he's running five or six years for the charger Sammy Walker makes the tackle dealers lead at seven to three share his blades winner the young man that we were talking about with the hearing problem he also has a cleft palate when we talked in yesterday he said do you think thanks can get tough when you're a kid and you're trying to learn how to talk with a cleft palate everybody's making fun of you that's when it's really tough but again my guess is he was a pretty big kid they only did it once that's right every pass is complete to lunch and he does the other first down yes he does be sure to stay with us at halftime Domino pizza zeniff a live halftime report Gill Gardner with a feature on market bávaro the scores and highlights with bob oj and guest and buddy run those people that had a chance to watch the Monday night game I don't know if Mark Bavaro is all the way back but he's awfully close and you know what having been a tight end I was happy for him he had an interesting comment that he said he turned to his wife during his retirement and and she said that she saw that look in his eyes he better get back in player there weren't gonna have a happy life thought that was it just a great point 1st down San Diego 31 yard line back-to-back first down 44 yard line hey Lewis paid the price for that one though it gets caught in the sandwich down the field tougher out is the crumb is the slant route to run right here between between Griffin and Dickerson he takes it takes a real shot between the two of them I guess he's got the wind knocked out of him hopefully it's not ribs look at the left hand resting on it no that could be what it is and the charges was not a tremendous amount of depth and wide receiver they have Anthony Miller and others I'm free six of nine for 76 yards but Charlie one of the things here that Nate Lewis did that has really been a problem for the San Diego Chargers is drop pass as Bobby Ross was talking about the frustration over the number of receivers of drop balls to go at 13 in the first to burn an awful lot of passes in those first two games and as a result you can see that Nate Lewis wanted to make sure of it normally you know you catch the ball you want to cut upfield he want to make sure the catcher of course of course he ended up paying the price for that but you know it's frustrating particularly for a quarterback like Humphries you know in his first NFL start to be making good throws and Evon guys drop passes I mean that's just gonna drive you crazy but when we talk with a master if you and I had been quarterbacks it's a different story I'd be screamin if these faces get me okay these guys Hank 270-pound guys hang on my neck and you can't catch the ball come on no but if you to drop that many you'd have been in the booth sooner good point we have a report from the San Diego bench the temperature on the field is 100 degrees [Applause] the devil just ivan has the down at the pittsburgh 41 yard and Humphreys is down pounding the ground watch as he cuts back here he has pretty good coverage there's a short out route right there look at the lady's knee oh and the O who folded underneath him there two minute notification human in notification Jared Williams the nose tackle on the hit get the wherewithal to look out and see that it was complete now be interesting to see how serious it is he knows we'll be back in just a moment that the ring with the Washington but this is to remind us you know what the goal is and that's the ring that's exactly right plus the fact that it's extra special because you you're on a team here the San Diego Chargers who have not been in the flower light since 1982 so not only prot provide leadership that provides incentive as well galeano is now the quarterback for San Diego we had a great procedure completing the past Anthony Miller and he has the first down and the charges off hitches on the move San Diego Joanie I really felt like in the first game against Kansas City Bob Galliano was victimized by one play that completely turned the game around and that was they were down here at about the 10-yard line he's worn armor ricocheted off his shoulder Kevin Kevin Ross picks it off and goes the distance that's a 14-point Swain and of course Bobby Ross himself told us that during the preseason galeano had ten different drives when he was the quarterback and they scored on eight of them so even though they made the trade for Stan Humphries he just felt like we couldn't just put this guy in over even though he feels like he's a better quarterback the galeano had really justified his starting status by his play in the preseason you know Bob told me yesterday he said if they wanted me to be the backup quarterback I wish they would have told me at the end of pre-season and not waited it would been tough for me to take but I could have understood it better I think you're absolutely right but depending upon the severity of this injury you portending so right now and there but you know what interestingly enough throughout the NFL today there have been a lot of quarterbacks go down with injuries at least four that I know both started in the Minnesota Tampa Bay game went down today mm [Applause] clock has stopped 142 [Applause] and it's a 7-3 ball game Pittsburgh leading Domino's pizzas NFL live halftime report with Bob Costas OJ Simpson and Buddy Ryan scores and highlights do Gardner with that feature on your friend mark when he got hit in the Monday night ballgame you said it didn't hurt him that much I thought when he hit on his head that that was going to hurt you should know that him hard as part of his body for you go and it's incomplete I may have been thrown it away John Jefferson but he was picking up double cover I don't understand that particular route you had more guys deep downfield he had no one intermediate and here we are at the 28 yard line I realize they're within field goal range but you should be looking to the first down now looking to throw me in so there's a minute 35 left happened increases being a loose on the site we do not have an official report from the side it's great the first reaction though it's not as bad as he thought it that's right it's not like they were sprinting to get an x-ray Bernstein is out as a receiver it's a couple years turn out San Diego number two I don't understand why San Diego would be calling timeout here it's fourth down Ronnie Harmon now watch you've come to the outside he misses by one guy picking up this phalanx of blockers give Carnell Lake credit if he doesn't get ahold of him he's got Swain and Moton out in front of it and by calling the timeout here which makes no sense to me they're actually now giving Pittsburgh the opportunity to get the kick off and have like a minute second timeout they are giving Pittsburgh more time on the clock in the int at the end of the first half hammer I think they just wanted to make sure they're going to be kicking on the skin part of the infield they didn't want to rush out and take the time to try and make sure of the three-point Alvin Charlie this is the sort of thing you do it before the game I mean as it is now they could have killed at least 35 seconds now and had it down to about 47 I didn't call the timeout but I'm saying you're trying to justify it here I mean that that's a bad call if it's miss first timeout I understand San Diego's case at that Benson 43 yards the whole of John kid Sam Sam good catch go so John Carney with a pair of field goals of 43 yards blow within one of the Steelers with 118 left to go in the first half Charlie Charlie something here that a lot of times happens it goes unnoticed great catch here by John kid a little bit off to the right look at that he catches it off his knee watch and he spins the laces in the right direction and John Carney says thank you very much that was a nice job by you John kid I really think that that's one of the reasons why besides the fact that he is an excellent hunter I know years ago I remember during the Jets when they went to the Super Bowl they actually put babe Pirelli on their roster for the distinct reason of holding for Jim Turner that is an invaluable asset a partner of mine by the name of David hump at ten years in the National Football League as a third string quarterback because he could do one thing extremely well and that was hold four kickers we have a report from the San Diego bench it is an ankle injury to Stan Humphries not a knee it is an ankle and we will advise you of course for after halftime when they come out and take a longer look at it in the locker room Whitestone is the return man John Carney will be kicking off 118 time remaining one not a good choice for two reasons one is he would have added the 20-yard I live in five more a yard the other is that the clock started when he touched the ball if he downs it in the endzone the clock inside at two minutes is not start until the ball has been touched in the field of play they would head it at 220 and they would have had five more seconds you're right this is awful decision that right there as soon as he hesitates he who hesitates as yeah loss that's it Steve Hendrickson the rocket great tackle downfield he is their special teams bomber now at the 15-yard line I would guess but given the circumstance at the time if they're just gonna run it out if there's a 30-yard line they can use that matter thirteen now thank for San Diego here [Applause] say out with the tackle the Steelers working on the skin part of the infield when we asked the O'Donnell about it last night instead it reminds you of Pop Warner this is a front had to go down it hurts when you look out on the eastern part of the unveil I can I can attest to that I remember kept making a sliding catch at Candlestick Park right between first and second base and took about it took about a foot and a half of my skin on my thigh an additional injury port for San Diego Nate Lewis has a rib injury second and nine here the 32 the 31 yard line [Applause] pittsburg number one might wonder why it took so long to do that they just wanted to get themselves out of a position to where they were that deep in their own situation of course remember last week they're able to come up with the Hail Mary Merrill Hodge here on the draw certainly San Diego willing to concede these yards to not give up the big play now number three one yard line they feel like that they have enough room that possibly they can go downfield they need all they need is another 50 yards and they can go for a repeat of last week you know it's amazing to me the probabilities against that happening how many times it has actually come to fruition I mean I don't know what the percentages sometimes you see on replay that that thing actually does that's the injury wagon Humphreys your Lewis going into the locker room push down this is a great mare was the first day out of the big of another first day once again great job by Ron Earhart in terms of the offensive coordinator here he had hob Bedford but he didn't hear three he set up the three wide receivers of what appeared to be a Hail Mary package and about 20 yards downfield he had white stone run the in route there was nobody prepared for it take a look if you get a chance to see this [Applause] what's the right of your screen you're going to see two receivers keep running downfield and then white stone is going to cut to the inside right at midfield there's nobody there if brawling doesn't knock him down there he might go the distance heads up right on top of Neal O'Donnell get for the official time out now at mid fuel of 14 seconds left and one timeout remaining they can still throw in the middle the field get in field goal range neela Donald's numbers don't jump out and press you he does some little things he where the things well does well yeah your he does great leadership photo once again the Steelers go to the three wide receiver set up sandhya to be wise to look in the middle of the field [Applause] interceptive Donald Frank has the interception the Steelers with three wide receivers trips on the right side setting up a Hail Mary look single coverage on the left side and Donald Frank picks it off good work never never fails that we sit here talking to talk him up and he does something like this the setup was exactly what they wanted they had man for man coverage perfect they had to have a port on the up and O'Donnell just makes a bad throw we had to throw it in Frank made the catch [Applause] don't have import the intended receiver you can see the little captain there on his Donald Frank there with the captain on his jersey he has the special teams captain there for the San Diego Chargers and now it's San Diego's turned to line up with a three wide receiver set to the right if you can do it we can do it on our goes deep it is bad Rony Harmon has it as time runs out just as we're talking about it just as we're talking about this so if Harmon can not go down he stumbles he all moly watching what's at the end of the play just Ronnie Harmon get hit by us there Oh what unfortunate play there by DJ Johnson and he trips over his own man there at the head alright it is half-time Pittsburgh leads 7 to 6 let's go to New York and Bob Costas this is the Domino's Pizza NFL live halftime report brought to you by Domino's nobody knows like Domino's how you like pizza at home all right Bob Costas back in New York the juice here is always buddy Ryan our guest in the studio this weekend will talk with them in just a moment but first to the scoreboard Cleveland Believe It or Not with Todd Phil Cox at quarterback and he threw a four yard touchdown pass to Eric Metcalf Metcalf a six yard run for the other one leading the Raiders and their new starting quarterback Todd Marinovich who hasn't done poorly in the first half but hasn't gotten them to the end zone yet 14 nothing late in the second Washington has never lost to the Lions at home the Redskins over the years 16 and O against Detroit in DC and Washington leading at halftime in this one ten to three chip moment without a 53-yard field goal just before half-time coming up toward halftime in Dallas and the Cowboys in front of Phoenix 21 to 10 Aikman has thrown two touchdown passes to Michael Irvin one of 41 yards the other of 87 yards and the Cowboys lead by 11 in the game you folks are watching 7-6 Pittsburgh at the half though it could have been something different at Ronnie Harmon that able to slip by that last guy after catching the Hail Mary pass off the deflection Miami has the halftime lead at home over the Rams 17 nothing they get all 17 points in the first quarter to Marino touchdown passes now these are games that are finals now Philadelphia holds Denver to four first downs 82 total yards Randall Cunningham throws for three touchdowns he runs for 49 yards he's thrown 8 TDs for the year and hasn't had one intercepted Eagles to three you know Broncos 2 & 1 32 nothing the final at the bet San Francisco over the Jets 31 to 14 jets fall to owen 3 frisco is 2 & 1 steve young to TD passes and a touchdown run and that they lost however john taylor for at least 6 weeks and one report says eight weeks with a broken left fibula the wide receiver the 49ers sustaining that injury in the first quarter Houston wins in overtime over Kansas City 23 to 20 they come from behind a do it they trailed 13 to 7 - moon touchdown passes in the fourth quarter gave them a 22 13 lead then Kansas City scored on a Todd McNair run with 20 seconds to go from three yards out forced overtime but Kansas City turned the ball over after receiving the overtime kickoff in Al Del Greco kicked the winning field goal in overtime for the Oilers they went at 23 to 20 Green Bay and Cincinnati perhaps the wildest game of the day at Lambeau Field Mike Holmgren with his first victory as a head coach David Shula with his first defeat and the Packers win at 24 to 23 Don Makowski knocked out of the game with an injured left ankle ligament damage we're not sure how long he will be out off a Green Bay punt Karl Pickens the rookie out of Tennessee for the Bengals in the second quarter gives them a 10 nothing lead by bringing this one back 95 yards after reversing his field it was 10 nothing when he scored they went up 17 3 at one point but early in the fourth quarter the Packers came alive here's their repeat Terrell Buckley their first-round pick out of Florida State he answers with a punt return touchdown of his own this one covers 58 yards it's 17 to 10 backup quarterback Brett Favre in in place of Mackowski will hit sterling sharp here late in the fourth quarter with the five yard touchdown he lunges across they trailed 2217 after a Cincinnati field goal made at 23 to 17 the ball at the 35 19 seconds left no timeouts remaining they go for it all Farr pumps once goes down the sideline to kiss Rick Taylor the 35 yard game-winner the extra point actually the margin of difference and Green Bay wins at 24 223 Minnesota wins at home they're 2 & 1 so too are the Buccaneers following the defeat 26:20 is the final at the Metrodome New Orleans with a big divisional win at the Georgia Dome over the Falcons low-scoring game and surprisingly so 10 to 7 Morten Andersen wins it with a 47-yard field goal with just under 2 minutes left and Seattle has their first victory under their new head coach Tom flurries they beat New England by a score of 10 to 6 they sacked human six times and Chris Warren carried twenty four times for 122 yards in the Seahawks victory let's turn now to Buddy Ryan thoughts on the Chargers and the Steelers well I think both teams are playing well but they're just you know they got a score more points they get opportunities they got to make them count ok I'm watching this Raider game and I just think that the Raiders must have been fat coming into this game going up against a Cleveland team without Kosar Michael Dean Perry that been so much talk about the quarterback there I think the other players are gonna have to get it together and beam from San Francisco Bob it's never Frisco you know people in San Francisco like Frisco they don't like cincy in Cincinnati I don't like Philly in Philadelphia and to anyone that I've offended through the years for too many reasons to count my sincere apologies mark Bavaro late of the Giants now the Browns the subject of Gale gardeners feature and that comes up right after this break [Music] Rod Woodson is the deep back of the kickoff return for the Steelers he will down the ball of the endzone dispar go start your own 20-yard line so now let's check out the Coors Light statistics in the first half pretty strange to see that San Diego Chargers have all that yardage but again that doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot score 7 to 6 even in time of possession I would have thought that would have been a key piece stabbed but thus far it's about as he missed the score it is a key step even in China Missouri almost an even score stealer seven charger sets this to lose a couple a yard Jr say out not quite the success that they had last week there you can see three punts and interception along with their touchdown but then again give the San Diego defense credit [Applause] back Bobby Ross made it a point to tell us when we tied the nested he said that he felt that a great deal of problems thus far in their first two losses were not defensive but often without the defense is playing quite well as they have today eleven [Applause] and posture is to the 16 Leslie well obviously the statistic that we had at the top of the show first against the defense in run is not just there for looks Leslie O'Neil coming right by the tackle right between left guard left tackle in this case love and Jackson to make the play and very foster with a hundred and ninety yards rushing last week at this point as twenty yds teacher this is exactly what the defense wanted besides they're gonna force them to throw Venus 14 this is a screen behind the screen to the 20 the 25 you'll come up short of the first down by a couple of yards Stanley Richard makes the tackle it'll be fourth down as a big hit by Stanley richer but he definitely paid the price for that Merrill Hodge six-foot to 230 pounds had a complete head of steam going what you can see after Hodge catches the ball watch him hit there's no way he's going around if he wants that first down Richard wants to deny him Richard wins but oh man that hurt [Applause] Mike Royals will be kicking Eric the enemy is the return man [Applause] [Music] [Applause] your special teams touching it on the run giving the Chargers good field position here midfield noting the enemy was doing though he was waving people off like a safe sign that can be dangerous could be interpretive he gets it up to I as a ferret qetsiyah than he was running after it but the reason I say that the catch is so significant is how many times have you watched a football game where you see the punt go the guy lets it lets it bounce and it bounces 20 yards and it just kills your office because that means two first downs they have to make up for even though the enemy's return was about five or six yards and he saved the offense about 15 or 20 yards been allowed to get dropped and San Diego starts from their own 47 yard line Bob Galliano is the quarterbacks Dan Humphreys were that [Applause] ya know to throw and the and we'll come back to check out the market Eric Moulton had his hands out like I don't understand what are you talking about but it's gonna come back for old where's the file chopped 577 oh that's interesting you saw him with his hands up and he couldn't figure out what the deal was part of the difficulty of Charley I know that they're emphasizing this as a result of last year when Brad Baxter chopped jerry ball now are they engaged watch the right of the screen watch number 77 Ron he just catches 15 yo that's a bad call that's not a good call he came over to help his center he helped his center because he saw that Williams is getting away on the sack and he goes to block him that is not an intentional child block that's not a good call by the official there he needs to see the difference between when one guy is standing up and he intentionally goes for the legs versus when the guy escapes because if in this case he's had to let him escape well what's he supposed to do let him get the side anyway [Applause] mr. prime stackable right have passed into the John Anthony Miller the intended receiver Rod Woodson is going to get the cup I think the reason you get the college the pass was so bad is that he had to stop and change his route and Woodson got there before you but once again there's the question and Bill Cowher has a legitimate beef as the ball catchable I mean if he goes through the middle of his back and doesn't allow him to make the catch you know after after praising the officials in the first half doing an excellent job I think these are two very ticky tack calls I hear it well but here's the conference so they could well put the flag in their pocket once again incredibly subjective the cost without a catch defensive pass interference from equation a chance to see it bill counter said that's what he's saying if you could real if she could not catch the ball the ball was too high he could not catch the ball is what he's saying to the line judge and of course the line judge saying no Anthony Miller has a 45 inch vertical leap he could have it all right let's see if it slice the top of your screen you're gonna see it's a deep hook route he comes back the ball is already thrown now Rod Woodson gets up and bumps it now that's awful that's awful I'm sorry that's not that's not good that's that's incidental contact the past first round San Diego 49 interceptor [Applause] with a great return but he found a bumbo dealers say they still have it there's a scramble there's a me oh yes they do beginning here Cathcart what calendar is down to helping out of the call therapy fifth on the left a strange strange deal here Chargers judges appointed and they do consider turn over you should have mentioned earlier about you know what the baseball feel about Sandlot this is what this is gonna do this is like Sandlot football all of a sudden and it was Marian butts who recovered and an official Lord spoke and now an official you can see right here got hurt he's shaking his leg out who is that this is just a bad throw a bad throw he doesn't see Greg Lloyd coming over now Greg Lloyd actually shows some school little sweet feet there gets by galeano Walker doesn't make the tackle stiffs arms him out of the way now as he cuts upfield he cuts back the inside loses the ball there's the ball on the ground right at the feet of Marion butts butts is the one who falls on top of it this is really sick I mean this is this is like four on four or something Swain is the one that ends up stripping the ball first butts kicks it he's the he's it that's a good call by the official right there Marian butts right on top of it and now an officials timeout and what they're doing they're checking out the injury to the official shake that's John Alderton John Alderton John Olsen does he plays with pain what a god what's way oh there's no doubt look at the ball come out right there you can see it's going to hit the ground ball completely out the ground didn't cause it the San Diego has the ball again but this time at their 20-yard line first down charge back were to go first to town [Applause] and a flag is down game is unraveling right before our eyes curious call here long Winsett 37 and his favorite player is it your DJ Johnson yeah [Applause] Dwain young the tight end for the Chargers was down field I'm interested to know if that goes at the point of the foul because he was down field blocking when the flag was thrown this is turned into a circus [Applause] holding British his Dean's May the rookies idea for North Carolina back to the ten it'll be first actually 20 on was the one in the middle of the field although there's Steve's made I was the call 87 was [Applause] all right first down in 20 the vault of the san diego 10-yard line and Stan Humphries with back to the Saigon [Applause] ninny Davidson got him pinky from wrong Darryl Williams they didn't this drive start at the 48 yard line 47 so now we're on the eight nine yard line I'm watching Stan Humphries behind the bench he's limping a little has the left ankle wrap here he is I'm sure that he's not going to return to the volume it is good because he's pretty low so given 21 of all of the 9 yard line Charlie the attention of given to [Applause] Pass Woodson over the top that will be passed in appearance it will be the second call against Woodson it will be an automatic first down san diego at the 13 yard line just when you're sitting home thinking boy this game's cruising along have a little something needs to be out of here number 26 perfect now the sudden the stars of the game turned into the people with the striped shirts this is an easy call right here rod bernstein coming down field with the hook route goes right over the top of him before the ball gets there easy call by the official interesting sequence San Diego has had in this series a first down in their own 47 a first down in 20 on their 37 a first down at the 49 following a pass interference a first down 220 following the interception fumble a first down at the 10 and now first down to the 13 so limit any calls at question 2 they had a first down there at the 13 as you mentioned since they had gone back 35 yards all right if they were to go the distance how long are the drought big does that Kent do they add in the other yard with pelvis so I had to do the drive let me from the 20-yard line because that where bus recovered the fumble on this series I'll change it yeah I know it's change of possession but it's that fun too thick but we add in that negative 30 plus the negative 3 plus and the drive was 4 yards or positive yards all right I need my kids and ouch ever to figure all this out check it down in one the ball of the 22 yard run flag is down [Applause] we have ten minutes in two seconds left to go we're still in the third quarter the score is Pittsburgh seven in San Diego sick but the first five minutes have been a veritable cascade of amber linen how's that it's been an eternity also eyes wait for you to say there's been a lot of flags George oh that's us your mouth yeah all goes back to the 12 and it will be second down and 11 on Leo going [Applause] Bonnie Harmon jutsu Bobby Ross can't be too happy about what he sees our man just wear the bizarre comes [Applause] this word is [Applause] the Mojo picked on burn the whole Lake we almost had six more and we got a pushing and shoving contest here's the case of Bob Galliano looking downfield he heard footsteps he starts to backpedal he wants to go out the Carnell lake and anticipated as well on the right that could've been easy walking you look you looks downfield gets a little bit of happy feet I just want to get rid of it here this good thing you threw it high because Blake was right there any that they need to cream them anyway from okay Peck the laws Marian bucks the intended receivers now third down and 11 Carnell Lake Palmer outside backer for the UCLA Bruins a reach of cobalt catalyst on safety [Applause] [Music] but given the circumstance of galeano and the strangeness of this particular series that was actually the same as play we've had here in about the last seven or eight now they can punt from the 20-yard line and get on with a regular football game because that's party nickerson inside backer for the Steelers down about the 11 yard line we have a timeout will step aside for just a moment Steelers lead at 7:00 to say why did hurts a bit number one club gold service to beat the rush out see every plane and everybody seems

anything less the uncivilized Stan Humphries injured ankle as his left ankle he is testing it it is not of course [Music] [Applause] we come back to [Music] but first the Steelers have the ball at their 41 yard line Neal O'Donnell all the time in the world drops it off underneath the very [Applause] Charlie Johnny you're absolutely right there Stan Huff he's right in the middle of the charger pileup file rather bury Fosters we mentioned last week three fumbles but they weren't costly in a 2017 victory this time a seven to six game good play by Henry Raleigh to strip the ball it keeps bouncing loose and Gilbert is able to pick it up just before it gets out of bounds and the cheerier here from the crowd is not just the momentum of the fumble but the quarterback back in his stand-up freeze Thursday [Applause] second and three David little and Gerald Williams on the tackle those of you that happen to watch the Monday night game last week when the jumper the Browns rather we're playing the Dolphins you'll remember that Stan Humphries excuse me Bernie Kosar played the last three quarters on a broken ankle and so when they went in and found that it was broke I mean he was able to play on us so Stan hope he's on a sprained ankle seems like a logical move got it taped up and there you saw a shot a very foster on the sidelines [Applause] great shot at the middle birthday six three 240 pound and give credit to Courtney Hall David Richards and Leo Goa's watch right from this I mean nobody even touches him with the line of scrimmage it can't give a man 238 pounds that kind of running start because and Aaron Perry has to come up field miss him and he's got to be dragged down six for three 238 pounds those men right there Courtney Hall David Richards doing a nice job getting the appalled open for Bernstein see it again bounces off attackers Gerald Williams was there a little bit of a scuffle after the play [Applause] once again Aaron Jones the defensive end makes the play and turns it inside we mentioned the former first-round pick 1988 they've been waiting for him to do something well now this is about the third time he's been involved in stuffing the play behind the line of scrimmage [Applause] Hall and Jones going at it check it out [Applause] No John Jeff would sit and wait Jefferson does a nice job of fighting the scene in the secondary right on the line Humphries aims right where it could be right between but it's a good call by the official his left foot was on the line there you get another chance to see it the left foot was on the line the right foot was in he aimed that ball he thought he had it now he's look at the official and no nope didn't give it to him third down six and a half minutes time to me [Applause] dropped it off right side Jefferson makes the play yards shy of the first down it'll be fourth down in 1 Samuel Walker bumpin Charlie you know what's frustrating about that from a quarterback standpoint you can see Humphries giving the signal over the side and Roz has said they're gonna go for it now he changed his mind now he changed first of all he went like this and he was waving to him saying yeah go for it but now he's changed his mind and you know what given the score of 7 to 6 I know the crowd doesn't like it but this is the right call he got to kick the field well he got to take the lead from the 15-yard line and a depth of 25 yards for John Carney he is 2 for 2 in the bar [Music] Oh he's folder Pittsburgh still leads by one [Applause] on September 25th the legend begins a man committed to the

pornographer is murdered stone what's a conviction but a mother and daughter love revenge Law and Order premieres NBC Wednesday Bobby Ross a little disgruntled with the turn of events but it really wasn't so much the shanked field as it was the play before I take a look at the end of the play Sean Jefferson if you're this close to the first down now turn upfield turn feel right now stick your head and try and get the first in Cydia voice he tries to avoid the contact comes up a yard short and right a chance to show you on tape you're gonna see Bobby Ross talking to you about that very thing and here is lobster for a couple of yards over the left side Bobby Ross right here scolding Sean Jefferson and effects saying look you know we've got to have that that's one yard and we have to have that you can't go out of bounds and he's not in his head saying okay coach a lot of times you know players talk about the challenge to their manhood or whatever but in that situation you know Jefferson's not a big guy under seven five he's got to give up his body to get that first second down and the ball of the 21 9:11 of those two scholarships exact ahead [Music] [Applause] talk a lot about number 55 take a look at the pursuit of number 55 Junior Seau remember the Dwight stone a 42-6 guy in the 40 escapes the tackle but there's say he'll come completely across the field to get him out of bounds [Applause] Jr sit down as we mentioned before his enthusiasm Bigelow's to practice which is sprayed yeah that is [Applause] and here is my i'll goes over the top for about three yards blazed winter with the tackle you know billowing spark was telling the story about junior Seau's yesterday when he said that they had a punt drill and of course players know that when you go through special teams day if you're a starter an offensive or defensive starter special teams day is usually they will you just get to sit back and relax and not do a whole heck of a lot but they said he said the jr. sale came out and ran as a sprinter just because he wanted to be involved in we wanted to practice and I really supports what you're saying about the fact that the guy just flat-out likes to play check it down and seven [Applause] sixteen this one is dry [Applause] got the touchdown pass [Applause] Nik sanity the thrills and excitement of Notre Dame football continue on NBC the Fighting Irish go against their intrastate rivals the Purdue Boilermakers coverage starts at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time with Notre Dame Saturday we put you on the spot general opinion they went for the chine they're the right thing where he was on the on the field of he throws long it's intercepted they went back they say what a dumb move then Michigan by throwing her they were in the ternary Jeff Graham with the reception I believe in going for the win but first you've got to get out of your into the field I would bid of em perhaps a little more judicious with some time out cup a couple hundred thousand an hour but they don't necessarily agree with that's right yeah Jeff Graham this wasn't do it because obviously you don't agree with that's what Jeff Graham has been doing the last couple of games therefore they're Pittsburgh Steelers big third down play if they're down and seventy comes up with a catch Toni Blaylock and pretty decent coverage but yeah it's kind of tough when you have to cover the man not only just to the outside but all over the field dinner's at 140 first down this burg leads by 176 his posture and he just keeps coming at you 45 yard line gain of six will be second and four and juniors se out with it bruised rib cartilage makes another fly over San Diego once again on the other side of the field here comes 55 blocked into it and still makes the tackle on Foster and really if you notice because it was set the thief the Chargers were in in a kind of an eight-man front he doesn't make that tackle he's gonna go a lot farther than he did was a seasick white I asked our betters whose response which I was very funny says he's a one-man highlight well is it there's nothing he can't do on the football field I thought I thought it interesting that Jerry Glanville said we'll trade Andre Rison will give up this is what I want junior say out of course the people Senegal's said he has fat chance varies with the place citing the crowd they're down an AIDS of all of the 49 yard line when asked why he why he is so wired and never gives up on a single play his response was because got nothing else to do on Sunday that's great first flags are down [Applause] grin with the reception Blalock was with him did he get a face man yeah it's the exact same play they had a crossing around from one side of the field to the other San Diego by the yard they that in the 37 we've been Charlie the distinct singing the praises of Phil arms Parker but here they had the exact same situation they had third down straight man for man coverage they had about third in a pretty good distance good cuts across the middle the field it was a good throw but if you're going to have man for man coverage that consistently a quarterback can read that all the time right there at the end he does get a piece of the facemask as you can see Steelers a pretty good situation here at the 31 yard line after the missed field goal attempt go to the San Diego he's going to pick up are they going to Mike and bound a little earlier I believe I've been around the 28 yard line Charlie a couple of games ago Bill Cowher made the remark about how it teams me you can see a team's body English you can see here on this drive as a result of a missed field goal now the charger defense is certainly not quick by any stretch of the imagination but you can see the body English a little bit of the depression over the you know they had a seemed like they had a guaranteed two-point lead those dealers have not been three-and-oh since 1979 that was the year [Applause] Littlestone wide open [Applause] give O'Donnell credit he threads the needle here in his own coverage Gilbert is a little bit slow to react right here he should have seen that stone jumps up he makes the hit on him but he needed to be a little bit quicker and anticipating what O'Donnell was going to do seven yard line first down goal to go we're taking a countdown to the end of the third quarter [Applause] and he does that is the end of the third quarter the score Pittsburgh seven San Diego six we'll be back after these messages from your local station [Music] one step into this paradise will

maybe to market to the 5-second down and all the big victory for the charge of defense here think of course if we kick a field goal Neil O'Donnell in the second half 6 of 7 69 yo overall 15 to 20 hundred ninety seven yards a touchdown and an interception now it's interesting because as we mentioned the thinking was make me a low Donald beat us and that's kind of what he well yes I like Bill Cowher it's a business trip it has to be treated as a business a little stone touchdown [Applause] touchdown drive following the first thing tower does is he goes over his defense he says don't you dare let down [Applause] saying isn't that great what we just did the towers a little ahead of the game goes right to the deep instances now don't ease up [Applause] Gary Anderson to the extra pass the frustration in the part of the San Diego beef in the field more than six minutes in this last drive following in this field though it can't be too happy about what's going on it all start we're 70k whether snaps the steer is putting together an 80-yard Drive in 12 plays that here's the touchdown they're able to get away with a pick in the middle of the field Dwight stone comes in motion he picks up there you see there's nobody there in the back as soon as he runs into Gary Plummer he comes to the back of the endzone a bailout fell off him there was hi guys oh boy the gym off of this part of the well this is John Carney did service for remains the Steelers 13 the charger says insulation do you have in your attic three inches six inches well the Department of Energy recommends our 38 for most American homes which is equivalent to a foot of Owens Corning pink fiberglass so grab a ruler and measure your attic insulation then get rolling and get a foothold on your hedges bills the more information call 1-800 you and charge for the first time and you decide to drop right inside out the team's [Music] that's when they find out how good you really are [Music] welcome back to San Diego that missed extra point by Anderson now that is only the third missed extra point in his entire career it's amazing heading into the season was 3:23 out of 325 in fact he had a string of something like 190 straight so that really is a big miss and yeah that's got to give the charge a little bit of hope because now they can go down the field they don't have to score twice then get in the endzone kick the extra point maybe force overtime now when the San Diego Mississippi ago that Pittsburgh came back with this head that could this have the same effect for San Diego well I saw you know in the case of the charger fans II would certainly hope so in the way that Humphries was throwing the ball earlier in the drive I mean it wasn't the offense that stopped him you know it was the fact they had a fourth one they shanked a field goal they look pretty good the last drive with Humphries leading and congratulations for getting your coat on so quickly [Applause] the enemy to the 20 throughout the 23 yard line we have 14 minutes and four seconds left to go in the ballgame and the score is Pittsburgh 13 and San Diego City back at home Cour power for the Pittsburgh Steelers NBC power for next weekend five like at 6:00 what a sec play the segues are for kids the big game the big game is Pittsburgh and Green Bay the second half with a doubleheader and that beam is going to go to about 90% of it a huge game yes a huge major game and I tell you what Devon camp I know that the can't visit the nation really wants take a look at this kids are all buckling after 57 years I wanted him I mean I mean it's just unbelievable to me how he and Beyond Dion comes off the baseball field runs back at kickoff 99 yards for touchdown this guy comes out of the bank [Laughter] [Applause] San Diego now from their own 20 first down trailing 30% numbers for standing up ease up it is tipped to the air it was intercepted as cleaners have the ball with the interception kenny davidson is the man who got a hand on it and david little or the interception san diego charges it's almost like Murphy's Law yeah this is a good plate but how many different directions can the ball go when it's bad it can go down it can go out it can hit the ground but instead of go straight up in the air Dave a little with the interception and right when the chargers thought they had something working for them turn over and watch number 33 on the replay Ronnie Harmon cuz he's still down I mean how many times have you seen the ball bad and where it goes straight down or ricochets off and goes a different direction in this case straight up in the air and David little just a gift and Harmon is up but did you also see Stan Humphries he was up trying to make guitar oh that's the 13th turnover that Pittsburgh has had now in the first three games that leads the National Football League that man right there Kenny Davison with a big play enabling David little the 11-year vet she gets that interception that graphic coming into the ball game the ball now at the san diego 17 yard line first down Steelers 13 55 remaining Pittsburgh up 13 to sue and here is posture through the 14-yard line a gain of three and put update let's go to new york city and bobcats is fine under the category of go figure Charlie Todd Phil cots in with Bernie Kosar hurt and he rifles his second touchdown pass of the day two Eric Metcalf the catch and run covering 69 yards Metcalfe has three TDs two on receptions and one on a run and Cleveland leads at LA 2113 Charles thank you Bob and and Todd after Monday night's game when clean was so beat up I didn't think they'd have a chance in that ballgame I guess yeah you figure only six days prefer five days rather preparation plus the fact that they have to travel they're going to second string quarterback I think in fact those are one of the reasons that they look that the Raiders went to Marinovich stone juggles it spins pulls off great concentration you know I asked Bill Cowher very pointed question last I said how much of this is skill and how much of this is luck in terms of this dealer now right there number 37 Blaylock had a chance he's waiting for the ball to pop out for an interception instead of hitting stone and as a result take a look right there he's waiting for the ball he doesn't hit him the ball comes from hit back to stone the bobbled ball there the batted pass up in the up in the air the shanked field goal all of these factors you know it's like the adage is sometimes better be lucky than first down garlic [Applause] by the way I just want to sit here and thank all of our friends from Crete Lieber Rumi and shortly they were in the booth next to us in Pittsburgh last week we sent over the chicken and the sandwiches you then had to run for the plane they brought over brownies after the game there are we muddy about it fine I saved one for you ain't that nice great nine days old that really appreciate I knew you would use it as a doorstop second down girl to go she keeps digging but he does not make it in the Steelers say that he does but the officials say that he doesn't look at the argument there on Donnell hazard that he's pushing him away I mean into it they don't be third down and goal to go look at this I mean they are really John that's al jury the back judge crystals have

kicking off to Eric the enemy Steelers up 20 to say juggles it for Mona T's to the 20 thirty about the 32-yard live on the return take a look from the top you can see that right to the right of your screen is going to be number 91 his response what you come down as soon as he's down he's dead whoops that's it it's over McDonald in for the score that's really a tough situation it's a do or die play of course for Pittsburgh because of O'Neill reads right he's Saxton for a seven-yard loss but give credit to Ron Earhart trusting in his 230-pound quarterback can lay it in for the score that's what he did Chargers ball first down their own 31 yard line lot of time remaining 10:42 I'm free to throw Derek Walker the intended receiver a catch of Obama for the Steelers have really been tough defensively this year in the second half of their bargain first game against the Houston Oilers they were down at an interesting point here they were down at halftime 24:16 came back to win that game play number 53 okay to win that game 29 to 24 last week against the New York Jets the score was tied at halftime courtesy of the Hail Mary throw and they ended up winning that game tied at 10 in the end up winning 27 to 10 that man right there John capers from the defensive core be with the New Orleans Saints now defensive coordinator for the Steelers has an awful lot to do with that and now the charges in a first down and 20 the holdings call in the center Courtney Hall [Applause] feelers outside deep and is incomplete for John Jefferson and now we've got some pushing and shoving back at the 10-yard line has there been an inordinate amount of pushing and shoving enjoying and contact after the plays well at this point is strange and I know that bill cow was not very happy about what he sees out there he's got a two-touchdown lead the last thing he wants is he wants his Steeler players to get out there you can see right there he came right that was interesting right there he came out with Levon Kirkland and he went in to replace a linebacker whoever was arguing into it I think it was Gerald Williams I say Moton may have been thrown out of our game for San Diego for kicking see that's what happened goes Gerald Williams is walking off the field right now Levon Kirkland the backup he went right in I'll be interested to see if he gets in a conversation here with Cour in terms of some poise out there Cour lets them go he's gonna make him sit down we have a 5 and 15 five yard penalty against the defense offside you have an objection of the number 77 [Applause] and I think one for kicking that was one of the signals that I picked up from the official now you can see Bill Cowher say to him right there what sense does this make the score is 20 to 6 we're winning you have to keep your poise it makes no sense right here to do what you're doing and sure enough it's interesting little psychology here he goes over and talks to sends him back on the field now LaVon Kirkland will come off he's put you know what I mean he is pushing all the right buttons here in the first three weeks of the season five in 50 so the ball goes back to the 10-yard line and it'll be first down and 34 San Diego [Applause] a phrase knocked away Gerald Williams a nose tackle is the man who knocked it down and it will be second down in 34 San Diego at their own 10-yard line [Applause] Chargers last four possessions this is the second half one play interception six to the pump five at a missed field goal one interception second down in 30 June 24 left to go sitting over the middle is open the right side detective a enamel the far side when we talked to San Diego yesterday we asked the clerk should we also have mercy when they were going to start doing it and they all acted like they've never even thought of it interesting that they've been working on it all suppose but he hasn't exactly been both because we came here today out of the first third down and thirty this is where it's no fun being an offensive coordinator every time Chloe was telling me in a second these 13:20 of [Applause] watch this go back to the right flag is down the past is complete at the 17-yard line that Sean Jefferson Nakata but there was a marker Courtney Hall absolutely tackled Gerald Williams there on the goal line Pat Haggerty saw it but my guess is Pitts was gonna let it go and make a kick calling 53 offense defined and it will be fourth down you know hi Newell's decline the fash eat of the punter winner I mean it's the flag one day already on Woodsen is the return man for the Steelers and John kid will be cooking Santa mano is the snapper for sandy it's the only thing that he does but this is what he does and he does it all Kendall gambit on the other side same situation what a great move he takes it at the 30 almost in the grasp of a charger was that deems me that was down and spun out of it take a look Darren Carrington has him right in his sights and he gets right away bubu we've got a timeout and the Steelers have the lead back in a moment [Applause] [Music] are you ever thought about wearing shoes Mitsubishi believes that a luxury car should offer something beyond the usual

twenty seven four six one two seven Steelers first down [Applause] back to the line of scrimmage they'll run a little time off the clock Lesley O'Neill with attacker this is only about a five yard return but I think you have to appreciate the athletic skill and the courage of Rod Woodson here Darren Carrington bearing down on him he senses that he's there watch it he has to catch the ball concentrate on that and in the same move make that 360 spin a great athletic move by Rod Woodson [Applause] second down and nine Charlie you'd have to argue with regards to Rod Woodson along with maybe Albert Lewis and Daryl being the personality I guess you could include beyond sandwich I think he is the best cornerback in there very foster carries Floyd fields with the tackle course in the case of Deion Sanders you've got a guy that has similar skills I think the difference between the two those that rod being over 200 pounds and we've seen in the past they can utilize him to rush the quarterback poor guy as well as doing returns he just needs a nickname you have kind of time rocket is that in rock and Rod Woodson for work on woody Oh [Laughter] [Applause] foster is brought for Allah say ah was there plumber was there only there and so mark royal blue Lincoln Eric San Diego stops the clock 750 left to go on the ball game and we'll be back Courtney in just a moment if the Purdue Boilermakers battle their Upstate rivals the Fighting Irish Notre Dame football is home on NBC 7 minutes and 50 seconds left to go in the ballgame in reality San Diego was saving themselves 45 seconds because the Steelers would have taken all of the time off of the clock mark Royals to kick Eric the enemy is returning the kick biani of the third and it's down around the 24 yard line Livan Kirkland made the tackle that's blazed with her defensive tack over San Diego we talked about him in the first half the overcoming the handicaps of the cleft palate and only 10% hearing in the right ear well he's played for a few teams the national football he the last time he was cut a little over a year ago he couldn't get anybody to pick him up so what did he do he went out he made a commercial on himself and here is just a part of the commercial blaze winner wants to play football [Applause] Humphries throws deep derrida stripping that will be contact they will not drop the flag on that when your feet get got up PJ Johnson and Anthony Miller is a flag back down the field place where they normally call holding against the often coming back to Blaise winter I think it's an interesting point Charlie that you mentioned that some of the teams he's played for including Indianapolis and the Green Bay Packers it's very rare that you see somebody that has this level of persistence his comment to us is that there are too many people just holding down and I think anybody like myself was play the game understands the commodity broker type relationship that you have with management but I mean the courage that he's shown and the you know the insight to go out and make himself presentable in that video I mean that really shows a lot of foresight on his part as a result now he has a job with the chart also quoted as week he said absolutely anything is possible if necklace and he refused to die [Applause] Vasili personified back now for an update let's go to New York City in Bob Costas by Charlie Eric Metcalf having the day of his life of the National Football League here he'll catch a 63-yard touchdown pass from Todd Phil Cox makes the tackler miss Ronnie Lott chases him gets a little piece of his heel trips him up but Metcalf stays on his feet for his fourth touchdown man Cleveland's 28 the Raiders 13 and back to the folks in San Diego all right thank you Bob are you surprised by that score very much so I really thought that that homecoming and everything else go on the Raiders way with the new quarterback that would have been a victory for them but give Metcalf credit I'm thinking that his dad Terry's kind of the awkward chuckles goes deep Harmon can make the one-handed grab at this time he couldn't pull it down he has those sacrifice gloves that Todd likes recently perhaps have been pulls in they're not laying out with the one hand right here it almost sticks but closest only counts in horseshoes and driving movies I'm moving right along to the dip minute ticker just keep on going there's the Cleveland store that Bob gave us the update on Washington by a field goal uniform look at the day Michael urban was happy really pretty and three deep over the minute you Bernstein it is incomplete it'll be fourth down and the kicking team will come aboard seven minutes and 13 seconds time remaining in the ball game the Steelers are up 20 to 6 and the boo birds are out in San Diego this is this is a time for Bobby right this is one of the most difficult things for a coaching staff because now is the time for them as strange as it sounds you know Stefan minutes left in the game unless something very strange happens you figure the steel is gonna win this game and they need the chance here to look at some people to give Humphreys a chance to do some things that he hasn't didn't have a chance to do a few season with a charger think about they take that into account this is only the second start second half they'll start for the charge from the 39a right return he cuts upfield goes to the outside he's to the 40 needs one more block dead on the comer John Kim I'm telling you I saw that coming no he's hurting you know his thinking was right there is he thought that John kid was gonna go home but if the blood on his nose he just got that lower bar he's a kicker that's exactly alright you know what else he's a football player well he'll be able to go home to peg you're right they set up the right return of course Rod Woodson former high hurdling champion from Purdue University gets to the outside now it looks like he's gone right here he's made the decision I'm gonna jump I'm gonna jump but he's not going low look at that ouch oh goodness he cut the me look at me Oh but you're right he thought the kid was going to come lo he would wear him on the top this is where John kid wishes he is back in Buffalo because the Kousaka freeze that engineer that the white is back very basta Junior Seau makes the play you know what it's 22:6 22:6 the game is over number 55 go ahead take a playoff games over what's the deal here what does he do make some of the tackle for loss guys all over the field and what appears to be a hopeless cause is still involved still intense that's impressive that's what Bobby Ross said about jr. say I remember this is a 55 year old coach who's been around the block the best player I've ever that's saying something no and he stuck too bad a player will be a rally ready the great decorative 60 the volatile [Applause] quickly the infinite reason as I mentioned at Purdue University of course he was a world-class high hurdler but of course you those who follow track track and field aficionados know that the sticks are only 42 inches it took over 42 inches Junction 6 foot 1 he killed his helmet either John was David's idea what estimated his ability [Applause] honey how'd you get that under those go up under how did you get those stitches on your own there we go bhaktas moving on his countdown 555 timer moon how did Gary Anderson's turn to try the try the field goal right around shortstop 17 second or third base San Diego takes their time out they stop the clock again 5:50 time remaining tonight it's an all-new secret service based on the actual cases an undercover agent is tempted by the woman he's trying to bust them on an all-new eyewitness video the incredible footage of a woman who survived a whale well up by an NBC world premiere movie starring Kathy Ireland danger Island tonight on NBC for that Secret Service I witness video that's what the whale attack it's a whale attack a shark attack I could understand a minnow and if I don't wailing yes see that's kind of like I gotta watch you know people who are listening this connote Shamu somehow having Shamu attack somebody like this is going on I did notice oh today danger Island Kathy Ireland I don't know if you saw the movie Necessary Roughness completely snicker in that she should she exhibited outstanding for again she put a will and she kicked pretty well too with the horrible a flag is down the referee is signal that the ball did go through the uprise what happens here in the middle of the field sometimes is that they have defensive holding where the guy will pull an offensive guard aside for the defender to cut inside of them maybe that's what the official saw [Applause] this regardless behind his back is good thank you thank you thank you thank you fourteen seconds nine now so Gary Anderson with the field go the score is now 23 to 6 Pittsburgh with 545 remaining big actually a pretty big milestone there for Gary Anderson 18th on the NFL career scoring list those of you who are Ram fans remember the kicker Bruce Gossett who he just passed Gary Anderson also third on the all-time list in accuracy for a place to hear behind current kickers nicolau at the Kansas City Chiefs and Lauren Anderson of the New Orleans Saints he still didn't have an explanation for me as to why his kickoffs are so much farther this year ain't a shock to those you talked to his wife last week what did she say they've been running 5k seriously yeah but then she said that's what this trip for the leg is that they've been running a lot more she runs in the races he now has worked up join her in the workouts and had been running in the race is over now usually must have taken a break I mentioned that last week oh no no I remember that I just it's hard for me to correlate long distance along with kicking I mean well is that strength or blame that to make drink the water I say all right if he says Ronnie Harmon on the return pretty good we came out to the 39 yard line her car is tripping on the tack over this dealer not only have the Steelers not allowed to score in the second half they have not allowed to touch down in this ballgame oh man a pair of fuel goes by San Diego five K's and then maybe it's justice maybe it's the physiologist in yeah I'm trying to see the relationship between Anakin I mean don't you when you run distance your legs get tired no you know I feel so good oh man I don't run distances run to the refrigerator that's good say your idea of a 16-ounce curl into the drug [Applause] here's upgrade underneath the coverage pass is complete to rod Bernstein 47 yard line gain of eight and once I get down in June again what you do with adverse situations this is certainly a chance for Stan Humphries to run the two-minute drill to see what he can do in this situation which really isn't exactly pressure-packed given the score John Williams the third interception of the ball game for the Steelers their 12th of the year and once again the concept of better being lucky they're good he's actually on the rush but he doesn't get there soon enough so what happens he's too far downfield throws off the blocker and look what I got and right to it sometimes when you get a bad pass rush you luck out and get an interception and it certainly seems like as far as turnovers are concerned at the risk of being redundant all are going the way of the black and gold so Pittsburgh now to San Diego 44 yard line first down the into those top interceptors or stealing and here is barri foster to the 40 yard line that will be second down in six is George Thornton makes the tackle those who follow football closely remember 12 years ago the try the Joe green hat up up on 79th season going for the fifth championship called one for the thumb now here we are 12 years later and if the game follows after three and oh who knows begin the chant again a story it is the world little over who San Diego there oh and three the Steelers at a three and old start the surprise team in the National Football League and they'll be at Green Bay next week and the Chargers will be in the Astrodome against the run-and-shoot of the Oilers at the risk of making fun of the age-old football action with this man in fact her offered to us about we play them one game at a time yeah you look you look ahead to here against you certainly a game in Green Bay would be very winnable and then they have the bye week yeah so they could see we're looking at Florin Oh getting all their people that are hurt back and because of the fact that interesting ly enough three of the first four games they've had Charlie have been on the road so they'll have you know we'll have home games down the stretch light counts heading in the playoff dino certainly this we're gonna play us is not you know nobody would have get another age no white stone the intended receiver but he really over to have had to get the ball away much more quickly than he wanted to well if since now with Cincinnati having lost that puts Houston and Cincinnati at at two and one and if Cleveland Wednesday that puts into one and two and of course pizza burger being on top he is not funny how I'm able to figure that out then thank goodness it's early in the season that was opposed to Phil's the fourteenth game of the season and it's really confusing to many numbers data I run out of fingers [Applause] Gilbert is a returned man Marc oils ticking and a hanging straight up yo stays away from me we'd be downed at around the 12 yard line one lightweight Warren Williams with these Charles Barkley impersonation with the power rebound you're mentioning about scores let's take a look of that the complete ten-minute ticker all of the scores in the National Football League today Philadelphia shutting out Denver 49ers winning in New York Houston and over time over the chief to bargain that makes the Jets oh and three now Green Bay by one Tampa Bay with their loss that's their first loss right audience by 3d okay Zusak Washington edging Detroit Dallas leading pH by 11 in the fourth Rand's continued to struggle [Applause] and here the score is Pittsburgh 23 in San Diego 6 and we're moving on the 3-minute mark of time remaining [Applause] around the 11 yard line richard shelton is the man who bumped him out [Applause] you know the one hand looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers going who'd have thought they'd be three and oh and the way it's heading right now who'd have thought the Raiders would begin the season oh-ho and really I try to play the games on the field on the daily not on paper you're right third down and 11 it was how do we wait until deep in the field credit again boys we shake them [Applause] Humphries to throw NASA's complete on the far side it will be a couple of yards shy of the first down the official on that side is John Alderton the line judge you could tell because he was injured early in the boy and he comes limping up the sideline but he's staying in the ball game John Jefferson now on fourth down Chargers going for it I think he's in refereed as a player you have to know the difference Street engine and the first down you I don't know what you're giggling at but I keep going to myself just entertain guys oh no you tell yourself a story than you liked it yeah first down San Diego Humphries to throw again September go zip defensive play by Brian hiko harming the intended receiver 215 left of the bargain do you see the bright spot for San Diego today well if you'd have asked me if you'd have asked me a half ago I would have said yes but again give give the Pittsburgh Steelers defense credit in particular now third straight game that they assuming that nothing happens dramatic in the last 2:15 that they've shut out these team in the second half and a lot of that you might want to give credit to their conditioning notices you mentioned a a hundred degrees on the field kind of a tough gig with the defense [Applause] second down and ten [Applause] single coverage than it is in the world temperature Robert Claybourne the intended receiver mentioned earlier the mentality Charlie about having happiness be a business trip excuse me you can really see that in the Pittsburgh defense there are no frills Bunch you don't see a lot of you don't see a lot of double back rips and eyes and dances he's cleaning up the feel do not litter versatile yes but I because his attitude where that's concerned is very positive because he's another point that he made was last night as I said when we ran last night for two hotties let's not get to the breath 16 weeks it's a long ways for God it's a marathon Jefferson spins away he fell on his feet he goes to the 45-yard line John Jefferson Eisley Richard Shelton did the right thing what he was trying to do of course was to prevent him from going out of bounds but he didn't wrap up and enabled him to get the first town Jim in a warning will step aside for Mama 23 to 6 Pittsburgh Mitsubishi believes that a luxury car should offer something beyond the usual luxuries it may be extraordinary power and control a consummate blend of comfort and performance or a state-of-the-art four-wheel drive system the 3000 GT the diamante the Montero lease the luxury car of your choice only 399 a month for 36 months Mitsubishi the word is getting around what are these guys into piling it on and if you're into piling it on get a Domino's medium with unlimited toppings the Broncos three times they reach the Superbowl three types of Cleveland's expense in the championship game the browns be aware of these dogs there's still smarting it's the miracle maker John Elway vs the Cleveland Browns from the dog pound and NBC football doubleheader next Sunday Richard Shelton showing the confidence in the defense that he has watched as he comes out he's not even trying to make the tackle he just wants to keep him bound what's the hip he doesn't use his arms or anything just knock some knocks it back in balance sure we'll give you the first down just keep the clock running let's get out of here Humphries throws underneath the covers to harmonize outer bounds that will stop the clock the ball of the Steelers 48 yard line hiko was chasing Harmon 151 time remaining and a reminder for you viewers for next week double-header of NFL football here on NBC San Diego in Houston Denver Cleveland Buffalo New England the big game is the second half Pittsburgh in Green Bay that goes to most of the country Miami Seattle and Jets they get Saran because all next Sunday you starting the NFL live at 12:30 Eastern Time here on NBC check it down he says all the time in the world throws at it isn't abou play born the intended receiver I think he was expecting to cut off the route and play born with deep honor [Applause] and it's going to be third that secondary coverage by the Steelers has been outstanding throughout the first three weeks of the season they you can see Dick LeBeau yeah I asked him last night it was funny because as we did the standard broadcaster coach questions I sort of addressed a little bit into the past asked about his own playing game but he's in the top five in career interceptions they're pretty sure it's the top five might even be the top ten titles if he's tied ok fifth right okay and I said you know are you upset about budgets never that should do as a player he said when I played mix the night train today my play mr. Lombardo but I seen the indented receiver and is broken up by Richard Shelby and so as a result his point his point was that they throw against those guys I gave me opportunity get interception please be unduly monitor he was really great one Hillary fourth down you know I said the point that we're going back to the Green Bay and Lambeau Field of course that's where the boat did play a couple of games I got a great rivalry with the back yeah who's talking very favorable got the one game that the Packers lost in 1962 when they're the unit that changes as a Thanksgiving game is Detroit Lions five six seven he said his beautiful wasn't even dirty Cossack Bart Starr eleven times Humphries of Orkney the sack had to throw early Bernstein the intended receiver and the Steelers defense takes over they control now let me let me tell you why he's got that big smile on his face take a look at number 37 Carnell lake with a strong safety blitz they're doing things different even right to the end there's Rod Woodson of publicity on the outside even at the end the defensive coordinators and people are thinking they're involved in the game they haven't just said okay rush three backpedal eight let him score a touchdown they're still very much involved in the game and that's a credit to the staff of Bill Cowher so Pittsburgh takes over on downs 133 time remaining Steelers 23 charger 6 they'll just run out the clock I'm reminded of practice of Saturday a week ago in Pittsburgh and the last thing they did on their Saturday practice was this formation practicing running out the clock when you are ahead in the bargain so they could they left their Saturday practice on a very positive note yeah that's right assuming that this is the way it's going to be well again you know that the guys the master psychologist he's reading all the books I guess he's he's Rogers he's young he's Freud all tied up into one oh no no he's not that good cow well he's a football I see we're broadcasters we'll do that sort of hyperbole you have to understand I don't understand were you talking about my brilliant producer beside Carl Rogers the pepper Rodgers is rising figures Dwight Stone is the safety in this particular formation and he is about eight yards behind the line of scrimmage disengagement there's a fumble or something unforeseen happens when he can catch anybody on the charges that might come up with the football we should also mention here Charlie though before we sing too many praise with regards to bill cow they also practice the Hail Mary and the on-site kids so but you're right the kneel down was the last thing last thing they did game clock and play clock are exactly the same so if he doesn't feel like doing a he doesn't have to this will make it official the Steelers win twenty three to six Pittsburgh their record is three and all and they go to Green Bay next week what a great start and we'll be back in San Diego in just opposed [Applause] the final score once again the Pittsburgh Steelers 23 the San Diego Chargers 6 San Diego is now whole and 3 the Steelers are now 3 and all the first time since 1979 that was the year that they won the 4th one coming up next on most of these NBC stations it's the all-new episodes of Secret Service and eyewitness video followed by an NBC world from a movie starring Kathy Ireland danger island viewers of the West Coast will see these shows at their regular scheduled time from Channel 11 News this is the fifth quarter brought to you in part by food land food land yes your everyday satisfaction by Stroh's it's not just any beer it's gross and by your neighborhood Ford dealer good evening everybody I'm Derek Gunn and welcome to the fifth quarter mark Malone and Sam Dover are waiting in the wings to provide some insights on today's game a game that saw Bill Cowher and his Steelers go to three and on the year the first time that's happened to the Steelers since 1979 as they jolted the charges out in San Diego this afternoon in the game you just saw right here on channel 11 let's get to the action a rather dull first half to say the least the charges first drive of the day entailed 13 plays that consumed eight minutes it ends with John Carney booting a 24 yard field goal Dan at San Diego plus 3 moving to the second Neal O'Donnell took the Steelers 80 yards the final play of that march O'Donnell hit an 83 on Cooper 24 yards on the touchdown 7 3 Steelers late in the half Chargers QB Stan Humphries got this pass off and he paid the price as Gerald Williams rolled into Humphreys ankle he left for the rest of the half but San Diego did get a field goal on that drive it was seven six at the break the Steelers began in 80 yard drive late in the third it carries over to the fourth on the second play of the quarter O'Donnell hits a wide open to white stone in the back of the end zone 5 yards touchdown Gary Anderson missed the point after in his 13 six the charges next drive didn't last all that long as this Humphries pass is batted up in the air by Kenny Davidson and picked by David little and the Steelers took over at San Diego's 18 five plays later at the one it's a Donald on the naked bootleg laughs he walked it on in to make it 20 to 6:23 six the final stealers now four you know as we said the first time that's happened since 1979 all right we'll take a short break now but when we return mark Malone will join me to discuss some of the finer points of today's game then we will head west of the steelers locker room in san diego for some live postgame thoughts just something for you to think about as the fifth quarter takes his break we're back in a couple minutes from now welcome back to the fifth quarter everybody I'm Derek gun before we go into the locker room mark Malone joins me now to discuss some of the keys of today's game and one in particular the play of Neal or Donald yeah I was kind of guessing his way along but now you seem playing with a lot more confidence and authority well absolutely he knows exactly what's what he wants to do and this game was a closed football game through three quarters anyways a cook gone either way yeah there were some turnovers and on both sides that could have allowed either team to run away with this game but the difference in this game was the play quarterback Neal O'Donnell as Derek said San Diego came to this game with the idea that they were going to stop the running game and particularly Barry Foster now that shows up 32 carries for 69 yards it's all they had on the running game the Chargers wanted to have O'Donnell win or lose the football game Neal responded to the challenge to take a couple of examples right now in the second quarter San Diego playing a defense with a lot of people on the line of scrimmage trying to shut down the run man-to-man coverage the audience it perfectly goes downfield a Jeff Graham Graham comes up with a great catch the ball a little short but Graham is really becoming a great receiver that is the biggest play of the first half in my opinion couple plays later O'Donnell reads that the charges have now gone into a - deeds own which is unusual defense for a team that wants to stop run but Neal picks it right up goes to the guy that he has two right down the middle the weakness of the defense he is Adrien Cooper for 24 yards and the touchdown and again this is a game Derek that they wanted San Diego that is wanted Neal O'Donnell to win or lose and they put him in that position and he rose to the occasion again and it was just absolutely great to see the kid don't worry had to go with the football be pinpoint accurate not get rattled the other thing that I'd like to say too is that this football team has played so well in the second half of all three of their games and especially in the fourth quarter they've been behind in the first two games that did halftime and come back today was a close game they pulled away great play I think that has to do with conditioning and coach Cowher and of course they've got Green Bay Don Makowski their quarterback hurt next week so looks like they could go for it all going into this bye week and I have something to that mark you talk about the Steelers playing great second half football another factor to that is the fact that they have not allowed anybody to score any points on them in the second half in the first three games so a great close ballgame he only had one interception to end up three interceptions on the game and defense again because san Diego's got to come out and throw the football that's the kind of position you want to put those defensive backs in all the time which gives them an even Dirty Dozen for the year now we turn it over to my colleague Sam Dover who is Stan by in the locker room out of Jack Murphy Stadium Sammy all right Derek thanks very much yes you have taken the key stat I think it's the most amazing statistic of all the Steelers having not given up a point in the second half now three consecutive football
