1993 Broncos @ Packers

welcome to Green Bay a beautiful autumn even as the Lisa started to change and welcome to historic Lambeau Field one of the great settings of all of football as tonight the Denver Broncos make their first ever appearance in this remarkable Stadium the only NFL team to have never played here in regular season it's the Broncos and Packers on TNT hi again everybody I'm Gary bender you know the first quarter the season has been a surprise for both of these ballclub the Broncos slumped to eight and eight they fired head coach Dan Reed new head coach Wade Phillips a new offense and 23 new faces bigger that they would get slowly out of the chute but that's not been the case they're surprising three and one the Packers on the other hand were nine and seven they merely missed the playoffs and they thought it was a breakthrough season but they've started now one in three and the long-suffering Packer faithful hope the pack is back but they realize they haven't had back-to-back winning seasons since 1966 and 67 with me is Pat Haden and Pat if the Packers gonna break this three-game losing streak they've gotta have a big game out of sterling charm well he will be the featured guy tonight for the Packers now the pack of coaches came into this seat and he said you know he caught 108 balls last year they wanted to spread it around but they got off to that 1 & 3 start they said well that's not working and they said he is our best offensive player so who are we kidding let's get him the ball tonight they're gonna try to get the ball to Sterling Sharpe and Gary it's easy to take away a wide receiver so you're gonna see him move around or hand him the ball but they need to get him the ball at least 10 times tonight last year at the age of 23 Brett Favre made it to the Pro Bowl but this year he's been struggling he's had a tough time of the Blitz well you know it's funny about the NFL once you get a reputation for defensive coordinators about not being able to handle a bliss you're going to see it week in and week out until you prove yourself that you can't handle it Denver's defensive game plan tonight against Brett Favre is to bring the Blitz they're gonna bring safeties they're gonna bring linebackers and unlike a mature quarterback like a Marino where you might disguise a blitz with Favre they're gonna show it to him early and they want to see how he's gonna react well here's the situations further complicated for the fact they have a lot of injuries in the offensive line they have three new starters yeah this is a major factor I think for the Green Bay Packers look at their lineup a week ago when they played against Dallas you see that's the winners at left guard camp and start at center Robins with the right tackle here's what's gonna happen tonight three new starters you Weddell go to the left guard winners shifts the center and Sims at right tackle and in Mike Holmgren is very concerned he said that we have an injury there tonight we're a real problem because they're very thin there John Elway loves his new West Coast offense he's been spectacular he's completing 67% of his passing you know this is Elwes 11th year and statistically this is his best season and we talked to him yesterday he says I'm playing as well as they ever have because I feel confident I'm loose I don't have to I feel like the pressures off I don't have to win the game the last two minutes every week because of all the weapons we have and the other thing he always said is my offensive line is played great particularly my left tackle Gary Zimmerman they picked him up for the Minnesota Vikings in a trade and I tell you there's only two or three left tackles that you can leave out there all by themselves and not worry about your backside Gary Zimmerman is one of them I'm talking about all the weapons they have a new weapon and rookie running back Glen Milburn some people are comparing into a smaller Barry Sanders this is a guy who was an exciting player and you know he has the ability to make a stand up and Cheer this one Milburn now Wade Phillips said to us last night you know we need to get him the ball more it's been kind of a nickel kind of player a temporary player but one of the keys tonight is the Denver Broncos getting the ball to Glen Milburn well it's really a spectacular night here in Green Bay temperature kickoff time 43 degrees and of course another sellout here in one of the finest places to ever come and see a football game on the forecast partly cloudy as we mentioned earlier the leaves that started to turn and this is a remarkable setting Wade Phillips who for four years was the defensive coordinators at Denver Broncos he was an interim coach way back in 1985 for the New Orleans Saints he is four and four career and he has an offense is really catchy everybody's attention in the Colorado air and Mike Holmgren in his second year he's canon temporary why's he were to the 49ers and brings know that 49ers offensive him to Green Bay Jason even will kick off the Packers at one the time to run to the football return against Allison play [Applause] [Applause] similar to the 95-yard return he had against Dallas this one 168 you know Gary we're talking to Reggie White yesterday it said you know our office the defense hasn't played very well but if we hit play as well as our special teams we have a chance and essential team coached by Nolan trommel have done a remarkable job this year for the Green Bay Packers second weekend alone we get a in a row that had a big return a good key block on the wedge and Brooks probably should have scored there and Bret fire who they hope to calm down a little bit he is so pumped up celebrating his 24th birthday today he had a brilliant season last year went to the pro ball struggling with the Blitz he's been a little bewildered we'll see how that develops tonight [Music] gets inside that's funny just inside the 20 to the 19 yard line so Brett bard good work ethic strong-arm about to be the cornerstone to this team for years to come and Mike Holmgren says our offense is a quarterback driven offense for us to win our quarterback has to play very well second down and eight for the Packers from the dye team shark comes in motion fired what setting necessary sets the move and he's very close to the first down he needed to get to the eleven and a half yard line now let's take a look at tonight's American Airlines starting lineup and in that backfield Bennett and Stevens two big bruisers back there sharp that a hundred and eight catches a year ago Clayton the former Miami Dolphin and up front we documented the changes three new starters up front and as pata said it's awfully hard to have some continuity in that circumstance third down and yard to go [Applause] it'll be Steven Stevens does not get the first down he did not land up there and he Qaeda's down bounce to the outside that may have cost him the first down one of the inside linebackers I think sucks the lead blocker Edgar Bennett so it should be a fourth down they're looking to the far side of the field that Mike Holmgren has a fourth down it appears coming up and you know when you're when you're one in three I think you take some chances like this but you always you always ask for a measurement you're a quarterback you always want to know how far if you're short at all you want to know exactly how short you are well the Packers have been very successful this year on fourth down they are four of five and this could be awfully big in this football game that they wouldn't get it here if they like to go for it I don't think they have it because Stevens didn't bounce it up and there it is you can see how short they are well my corner in his second year get me to make a big decision early in a game you know easygoing football team you're one in three you're playing at home you go for you can see how much they need the Packers have had a tough time establishing a running game they've had only 36 yards against Dallas they were going to go more to three wideouts and a single back through the course of this game but right now they got to slug it out and if you're a Denver defensive player right now it don't get suckered into a hard count no offsides no easy first down fourth down and west - they are [Applause] comes in votes in hand off fighting for that was Dave Lyman the former Seattle Seahawk who was there to make the stop we'll wait to see if they got the first down the Broncos Steve Atwater said they didn't you play against this Denver defense you not only playing against inside linebackers you're playing against some safeties in Atwater and Smith that play like linebackers very tough short yardage team the Denver Broncos there's the other guy you're talking about tennis Smith here comes a measurement it's either going to be the Broncos football or first down at the 11 [Applause] you couldn't even tell that was too close this is Edgar Bennett and number 57 Dave Wyman is the guy who gets in there first in 57 in the white jersey and then and then it was Dennis Smith strong safety again playing like a linebacker so holmgren gamble pays and they have a first down at the 11 so that 68 yard kickoff return and now our first down at the 11 of Denver [Music] by grow games on that he was drawn on one very subtle about no and I thought one official it took him about 15 seconds to throw a flag goes once wonder what cooking so long not that cold girls it's no I could double clutch couldn't get that flag out Larry Nemours are referees [Applause] that is Jose Sims who's getting the starting hall there is Gro net along the friggin ocean quite a story about him the two outside land bikers Kroll and Fletcher are outstanding and we talked about the safety Smith and add water Pat was saying they're like linebackers first and 15 now after the penalty the initial drive of the game [Music] ends up broken up nicely that was a play by half water at water in the back of the endzone was Mark Clayton being hunted receiving you know I think that's what makes at water an unusual player in that he can play like a linebacker love we just talked about but he's got some subtlety about him he's got some finesse he's got a feel for the game you know it's a lot of big hitters in the league but few guys should be big hitters and then turn around in the next play and make a subtle play like that then he used a unique free safety in the league Denver has not given up the touchdown of the first quarter of play thus far this year second down 15 [Music] the shot go strong time to wrestle prove it up the field Tyrone blacks can never get gettin down and here come to play black people hanging on so let's see what this is all about sharp actually got about three hours [Applause] half a distance of the end of the run this is good let's look at this it's drawn a de who is involved in this in the thing that the yards after the catch are the key thing that the Denver Broncos don't whistles blown here I think and so half the distance to the goal only I don't know what I know what they're calling a Finley on that floor they called it unpro net the number 99 but that should have been a penalty but what it does it gives them a first down half the distance to the goal and it's a six and a half yard line one of the key defensive matchups to Gary is Tyrone Braxton against Sterling Sharpe somewhere in this game Tyrell Braxton is going to try to pick a ball off three straight games of hackers are stored in the opening Siri like they're like to come after far that's what they want to show barb rolling he's inside the 5 to the 3 it'll be second and goal there well we said at the very beginning of this broadcast they the coaches of the Packer said hey we're not gonna kid ourselves anymore and try to spread spread the ball around we're going to get it to our best offensive player that is sterling sharp and they've thrown the ball to him now three times and then what they're really trying to do is get the ball to him out in the flat and have him break it tackle he's going 3d is a very difficult if super to bring down back in a goal at the four couldn't connect with surly sharpen Tyrone Jackson he was there Braxton who study so much film in fact he's got to kind of wall them into something he'd like to pick off one he has two interceptions already this year Braxton was talking to his yesterday saying that you know I'm gonna lay off sterling sharp a little bit I'm gonna wait for Brett Farve to call a quick out and audible and then I'm going to jump the route if I jump it and intercept if I'm gone so it's third and goal officially marked at the three yard line it's actually between those areas the three and the four most ways to go so they come to a fourth down named Chris Jackie to attempt a field goal a pretty good defense by this Denver team after being stunned with that 68 yard kickoff return that's a you know that's a defensive team really get their job at the Denver Broncos II the special teams give up a big return journey star those defensive line coach for the Denver Broncos they did their job their defense forcing the field bulletin Chris Jackie will come in an attempt to 23 yarder last week they're gonna hold this one up every flag out of every officials pocket came out of there at the same time seemingly the Packers have had this ball forever it's 1036 left on this Drive still don't have any points that is Doug Wydell one of the two 1l brothers who have playing in this game both of them getting the starting call Dave will be starting at left guard when the Broncos get the ball well that's going to back it up now this will be a 28 yard attempt [Music] after trying to take the lead at the 10:35 one Waggener hole and the kick by Jackie is right down the middle so Green Bay with a 68 yard kickoff return gets three points out of it three nothing for the pack let's go back to one of the receptions by Sterling Sharpe and show you why the the Packers didn't score he's gonna run an out right but Charles Demery stays here and then just tackles of no yards after the catch that's one of the key things for the Denver Broncos tonight sharp is gonna catch his passes but you have to tackle him after the catch and Denver did a nice job of forcing him down otherwise man he breaks that tackle he scores a touchdown significant he only weighs 170 pounds Demery is undersized but he certainly doesn't have a small heart you can see that Jackie kicking off Delpino along with Glenn Milburn backe here comes the exciting to the 20-yard line I wasn't so excited Elway with this new offense coming in to having a lot of fun very confident he's been completing 67% of his passes and all these numbers are really been going through the roof he's always been a great talent they're very happy now he is and the idea the concept of this offensive philosophy is get a 15-yard gain Gary without a 15-yard past first snap the ball again Derick Russell will go on motions of Denver mr. Rob Bernstein Bernstein wool purples he's waiting to the arms of Leroy Butler and dropped at the 27-yard line okay let's take a look now at the American Airlines offensive line up we just mentioned Bernstein Vance Johnson who was cut came back to join this team Shannon Sharpe of course set Sterling's younger brother and what a battle they're going to have this year we'll talk more there but further about that Zimmerman Liddell the other brother we have a dual family reunion going on here today second down [Music] [Applause] [Music] at a time up to fear Kimbrel who's the fastest player on this team never heard much about him he made one catch last week out of Jackson State a rookie could not hang on defensively for Green Bay they've had some people missing and one of those guys is Bill Moss at nose and he will not play tonight they've lost Bryan Noble to knees surgery and also Tony Bennett has not signed in this secondary they think Leroy Butler is played at a caliber and George Teague at his first start the rookie from Alabama [Applause] they're down for [Applause] [Music] had some pressure coming trying to hit over the far side the tight end Reggie Johnson incomplete it brings up fourth down and so the Broncos are three and outs and Tom Rouen will come in a putt and Terrell Buckley an exciting returner goes back for Green Bay region nothing the Packers 935 to go on the first quarter [Applause] ruin hits it high but not especially long and down by Kimbra at the 35 and here's another class so Canberra was down there quickly after a 38-yard punt let's sort this one out ruin a former Colorado punter [Music] one thing about hunting in this area as list of novel area numbers by the kicking team player number 80 who was out of bounds returned it was the first player to the top taken the week in a row we see this reefer used first down we understand that whatsoever but I started to say when you punt in the Central Division you better be able to punt well because the weather doesn't look as good as it does tonight most of the season [Music] Gary bender Pat Haden glad to have you with us at this historic site the most unique franchise in the NFL Green Bay Packers population 96 thousand that it becomes a lot bigger when you put 60,000 here in this beautiful facility and from the 35 bar with a wall for the second time leading three to nothing [Applause] they go to three wideouts single Ronnie back in Steven our best shot this for capture tonight that'll be a gain of five just across the 40 and coming over as Tyrone Braxton to make the tackle Brett Favre now has thrown six passes all his completions have gone too far to a sharp four of those and of the six passes five of them have been directed at sharp so the coaches weren't kidding when they said hey we're not getting big enough kid around anymore we're gonna get the ball to Sterling Sharpe we don't care if they say we're right-handed we'll just go if he's having the right-handed hearing they wanted to spread it out but they're going to use their big playmaker back it in five Stephen Stephen [Music] all the way to the 48 that's got to be encouraging to my homeroom because they have not been able to run the football yeah the storm in this game has to be encouraging to Mike Holmgren they've run the ball there well as you just said Gary they've had a big special teams play so far their defense forced us lien out by Denver so thus far clearly early in the first quarter in a three nothing lead Mike Holmgren has to be happy with the way this game has started they script those plays to start of the game it's worked so effectively but after they started games is where they've really fallen off down at the 48 Bennett thunders ahead for a first down to the 39-yard line of Denver that's an 11-yard run and benefit is the guy who is it kind of a tweener he's not picking up to play pull back in some ways maybe not elusive enough to get outside but he's a good package a complete player who can catch the ball very well coming out of the backfield here we talked about the Blitz watch they're going to see that a lot of bliss now the Packers come back with a little draw which is a good call against it Dennis Smith the strong safety got started a little bit late but but Brett Favre is gonna see a lot of that tonight first down to the 40 play-action fake [Music] with his first catch of the night that's a first down at the 25-yard line the all-time leading receiver for the Miami Dolphins with at 15-yard grab there's a guy 81 touchdown receptions with the dolphins but again he should get some single coverage and that's one of the subplots tonight Gary Mark Clayton this time against Tim Hren now that's twice dimmer he has slipped once when he was trying to block tackle sharp that time mark plate but Mark Clayton should be a guy that's going to get one-on-one coverage and should break open play thus far the lines doing a good job for far [Music] 25 first down he gets rid of it this time the Robert Brooks and books with a drop short of the 20 yard line speaking about Brett Favre we were talking to the coaches they've had him off of copy they will have him take this energy drink that he has because he's so hyper he is so intense they're trying to slow him down a little bit he's got the metabolism of a hummingbird you know he just was always going a million miles a minute and they really are trying to to calm them down to slow him down that's been part of the problem on the Blitz reads he gets so excited he knows what he's wants to do but he ended receivers aren't quite ready for the throw second instructs closes looks like he had first down Running Room and all of a sudden he closed down because Dave Lyman closed on him this is a guy who started last year for Seattle replacing Michael Brooks at that inside linebacker spot and Charlie waters defensive coordinator Denver's at the beginning a year they were real concerned about their inside linebackers but Dave Wyman has really played well for Michael Brooks who faced a weak inside linebacker which needs a place on the weak side of the the formation and so he should run and make a lot of plays on the move just like he did there three yards to go [Applause] Simon Fletcher short of the goal line what an effort by breath a 17 yards to the far side and he ran in and somehow ran out of it it's the kind of place that got people excited about Brett Favre last year now number 57 in the middle of your screen is Wyman he's blitz and so it's Mecklenburg the two inside linebackers blitz now he did a terrific job as Rutgers number 75 pushed his guy out of it and Favre just spins at it and has pretty good speed crossed anyway its first and goal at the half yard line the Packers trying to build a and disputes fights him the ball is loose but he's been given the touchdown with booked the plane to the goal the ball coming loose does not matter and the Packers have gotten off to a remarkable start 9 to nothing you know they started fast against Philadelphia in week 2 and lost they've actually lost two very close games but this is something you've got a key to continue to maintain but they are they've done everything well offensively defensively special teams and seemingly have been down at this end of the field the entire first quarter as Denver's had at only three snaps Mackie to attempt the point after he's hit 95 in a row he is four away from Paul hornings record of 99 at the 510 mark try to make attend another and Jackie is now hit 96 in a row 10 nothing the packers a team as Pat mentioned has been stunned with too late losses getting off the mark effectively here trying to break a three-game losing streak and stay in the race in the NFC Central john stevens acquired from new england for a fourth-round draft pick with the touchdown that's the first rushing touchdown given up by this Denver Bronco team the first touchdown they've given up in the first quarter this year and Wade Phillips team down tended nothing it'll be blending over [Applause] [Music] to the 23 and the patches of good coverage the fumble was here fumble on the fives time to grab the ball on a bill packers football as Millburn disappeared on the far sideline and coming out of there is George Teague the rookie with the ball the Packers are going to have those two 22 yard line you know the special teams bring Bay to big plays now rookie against rookie Millburn against t we first of all he fights Timmy he's getting hammered by a blocker fights through that blocker and takes it away that's a great special teams play by T what did they say they wanted George Teague in there to make a big play and he's made one they've got it we've got two of them now at a special teams carry remember the Sugar Bowl against Miami the two big annoyed in that he was there [Music] at the 22-yard line first down Packers John students this time will be hit by microbes get much on that one maybe yard will bring up second down well here we are with 450 left in the first quarter Gary in Denver has only had three offensive plays now in there and they're down the pack for the Broncos are down ten to nothing here's where Wade Phillips defense once again have to make a play I mean stop at least forced a field goal attempt because the way this this team is playing a package of mine right now they are playing very confidently here at home they're not local into one in three tonight they came in here was in three in a row to the other favour to the NFC Central was bumped off the play he did not get to the football he was tangled up with Dennis Smith and also Tyrone Braxton so no one close to the ball and it's going to bring up a third down was those how was Brett Favre going to handle the Blitz and some of that's dependent upon the offensive line that time Steve Atwater the free safety came in blitz but the offensive line did a terrific job the offensive line did a terrific job of giving far of a chance to throw it Charlie waters of course the outstanding player for the Dallas Cowboys and how the defensive coordinators Philips third down and virtually 10 yards to go Bennett Stevens in the backfield Stephens comes in motion bars got time [Music] [Applause] [Music] he's got it as he is inside the 12 where he sterling sharp play catch the ball Gary he does not bother the ball he attacks the ball he doesn't wait for the ball to get to him here's the slot band number 84 he's gonna run a little hook route and watch out quickly as soon as he catch it he turns and he's very good after the catch because he said to us yesterday I know where people are coming from I know what the angles are he also knows when he picks up the first day i pointed towards Appleton which is south of here first down the temple that they laid side skirt in China he is getting workout he's got the ball to the six now he and his brothers have a $20,000 pin as to who will catch the most passes this season and right now Shannon Sharpe got to get very nervous standing on the sidelines watching his older brother it only had three a three path three place you know and as sterling told us yesterday sterling told us yesterday I get off the bus and I've already got seven passes well he's got six right now he got off the bus got one more to go and he can get back on it second look at the time of possession his three snaptun take very long he Harris comes a motion ran right by the ball-carrier Stephens he stayed on his feet and maybe got back to the line of scrimmage and then Willie Kosovan who is a Nigerian by birth was over to make the stop Gro net a little upset is he just went right by the ball carrier intranet that's a little upset with himself I think he thought that maybe far if it was it kept the ball on a bootleg because he just ran right by the ball carrier and had a clean shot at him nice contact but didn't see anything the key defensive play here now for general and forced a futile attempt and a third and six his way and Bennett is just short of the goal line Edgar Bennett that he catches last week 14 in the last just short of the goal line but its first and goal Edgar Bennett Gary nice real nice feel for the game and bread far you know maybe they have calmed him down because he has shown an awful lot of poise tonight under a heavy rush by Simon Fletcher one of the outside linebackers he just got a nice little touch over his arms to his back pin it Parvez 9 at 1261 yard [Applause] [Music] was he hammered on that one wouldn't even close to getting in he got almost flipped on the play as he tried to crack it up the mill not Bennett again it's not that big of running back by some standards he weighs in at about two ten to fifteen that time he didn't get anything he may have lost some where about where they started will be second and goal from there well number this is not a great running team the Green Bay Packers they have three off new offensive linemen starting tonight and that makes it very difficult on short yardage and goal line then at Steven Tsukuba [Applause] [Music] it's been it again trying to go being chased he gets out across Buckland Berkman scores a touchdown and Wade Phillips has to be stunned [Applause] 16 to nothing green bay and the first visit ever to Lambeau Field by the Broncos of the regular season is not going real well right now good lead block by John Stevens that really opened the way for Edgar Bennett to score [Applause] Jackie now to try to hit his 97th in a row and now he's two away from Paul hornings record watch the block by number 32 the lead flat back when you get a lead block that control the corner the defense like that you can get into the corner of the end zone Stevens clears the way for Edgar Bennett [Music] second down nine for the 15 play action fake back to throw hunter on a beautiful play action fake fight down at her AP booty resid on the corner and at the taiga 23r circa 1970 it was nice to see that success go to your coil scary now which one of us is age most a mermaid let Melbourne now who fumbled the last [Music] [Applause] if I gonna play day what Gary the Green Bay Packer special teams have set the tone for this football game I mean they have played exceptionally well tonight you know the kickoff return by Brooks the fumble recovery by Teague and they're not giving up any yardage to Glenn Milburn on the kickoff returns gonna bring this one back to illegal use of the hands holding number 38 on the run back 10 yards in the spot of the run first down there's your old world man Cromwell colon Cromwell the flash from Kansas ransom Kansas who was your teammate with the Los Angeles Rams he was a quarterback at Kansas at a defensive back in the NFL he was a great player and now practice right now for 12:17 [Applause] and you can see the Packers are playing now with great intensity good reaction by George Koontz number 53 well you know the Denver Broncos have been a very good team at home Gary but they have not been particularly good on the road now the Packers have played well tonight and deserve the 17 point lead but right now John Elway was had a lot of comebacks in his career there's there you see the road record he's going to have to get something on the board he's gonna have to the Shannon Sharpe for plays for six yards for Denver at this stage with fights off of it in complete yet pleasure coming pop rice pop was in his face and Elway is old for three and Denver right now needs something to jumpstart their offense you know John Elway has jump-started their office you know so many times and I think the situation right now is where Elway is better than anybody you know the third and tens a third down quarterback it's been a great third down quarterback and a two minute drill quarterback and this is where he [Music] you see the percentages its third along here third and ten a difficulty Katz's made remarkable cats by Vance Johnson he goes up high as we come to the end of the first quarter a 16 yard completion and that gives Elway something to build on as they go to quarter number two 17 to nothing Green Bay [Music] we start the second quarter first down for Denver trailing 17 to nothing [Applause] Johnson and here comes a flag he had teak draped on him along with Terrell Buckley and will have a penalty flag both of them almost there at the same time in that first quarter Pat green they had the ball 12 minutes and 50 seconds it's been phenomenal say one thing though when you're playing against the Green Bay Packer defense you still have to have a plan for Reggie White and generally it requires two blocker 68 Freeman and then you can see Mill groom take a shot at him now it's above the way so that's not an illegal block by Milburn but Jim mufasal' the offensive coordinator Denver said we have a plan for Reggie White we're going to have two guys on him most of the game and then Vance Johnson Court made that great 1600 and the quarter Concord Defense solid boots the inside linebacker first to get there if there are Denver Bronco right now Gary you're thinking yeah we're down by 17 points but you do have one of the great comeback quarterbacks in the game and the idea here is not to get too excited I always been in this position before Clair Lee's come back in one lot of games in his 11th year but they have to print away at that 17 point deficit they can't let too many series getting some culture sucking down [Applause] oh it goes down Matt Brock was there and always had such good protection he'd had only four sacks previous to this after suffering fifty to a year ago that's a seven-yard loss back to the 31 yard line and that brock should make some sacks this year anytime you double-team a guy like Reggie white on one side the guys who are single team to have to come through have to make some plays white was there in the middle of your screen he was doubled Brock was singled covered and he made a sack that's how it should happen that's now Reggie white can affect okay [Applause] 17 yards to go a flag on the in fact again and this time it's going to be shot Patterson I think they got Reggie White he got Reggie White off and you know Elway was looking to go deep he knew he had a free day I'm surprised he didn't throw that ball deep and he and he's he and he knew it that's just we saying I knew I had a guy and I knew I had a free play offside number 92 five yards still third down the one significant fat about this particular series as a pressure he's getting yeah you you're right big split on the outside that time by Reggie White who's ordinarily lined up a lot tighter you know Reggie White said this week to the coaches he said I'm still glad I've come here even though we're off to a shaky start and they are still the guys you mentioned you better the the football team even if he's not making sex but Michelle bust up [Music] by Vance Johnson that's another remarkable catch and that's a first down hence Johnson has been humbled because he was traded to Minnesota cut has come back and has tried to really come back and be a factor again John Elway has avoided more sacks than anybody I've ever seen but he is getting a lot of pressure here against the defense that was really kind of average up to this time Wow is this whoa wait a minute yeah did that hit we've got a little double dribble on that well and they're seeing the replay here is a sophisticated knowledgeable group of people first down let's go depending on Derek Russell now Roman Mitchell was burned quite honestly last week by Dallas he had a tough day against Michael urban but he's such a great youngster they feel his character will help him bounce back in this game here tonight Jerry I think the toughest thing for a quarterback in the NFL is to after having a game like that how you respond the next week or the next play after you're beaten now role of Mitchell has played well tonight and out that last point we knocked the ball away but we were really reflective of that that's tough after he got interrupted one day in Texas Stadium second downtown [Applause] [Music] Karen Russell on the Katz and Russell's got a first down of the 22 there's a flag back at the 40 out Reggie White hit John Elway just as he is releasing the football that's a 29 yard game it may be late personal foul roughing the passer with the blow the head [Applause] first down let's go back and look at it Patsy why he got the penalty take a look at Reggie against Russell Freeman number 68 that time he got a single block by Freeman that's a mismatch I didn't really go to II didn't really go to the hit didn't really go to the head put a load on him Elway hanging in the pocket as he's done so well finding the open receiver and with a guy like Derek Russell we have a guy who can go the distance didn't there but to go the distance in every NFL team he finished evil I prepare for the 2019 occupation they tacked on they have a push down at the 11 Delfino here's Bernstein last year leather tents and room said was their best defensive player number 50 then had a neck fusion operation and missed most of the preseason but he's one of those guys who keeps coming after you and you can see in the last five seasons how consistent he's been for the Packers one of the things Jim fossil has worked with Elway as his ball handling Gary and he's never really been noted for that almost didn't get that that takes it to Delpino brings it back into bernstein boomer esiason had affected all okay the back second and eight Elway advance Johnson's out-of-bounds Mitchell was opinion on the play but Vance couldn't get both feet in I love watching receivers big don't you a very unsightly thing no case therefore Vance Johnson nope didn't dot the eye I got to get longer toes third down and eight now the ball resting at the ten you know think about that pattern though it was all those a nice catch Anna pounds Vance Johnson didn't give Elway enough room to throw that ball away from the defender he had a break inside a little bit more before you break out he gives you a quarterback a little older side remembers gonna have to burn a timeout lemons play of the drive coming up after the timeout remember this drive started on the Denver 12 yard line 11:36 to go the first half and the Packers with a surprising 17 to nothing lead you know there's one thing to most sporting events have in common when you see this are the players wearing a Russell Athletic NFL proline Jersey come on hey drew Russell Athletic is also the official uniform supplier of Major League Baseball they even have in most major college in high school team athletic even makes great stretching keys for the rest of us unfortunately not everybody's gotten to work that's eleven it's everything in right let me try sweats in tea is so great well the Packers are throwing a shutout right now but the Broncos are threatening by the way how popular was Vince Lombardi here in the 60s well if you yell into this crowd Vince about half of the 25 year old males will raise their hand join us at halftime that's willing Kevin Powell myself highlights from around the way we'll talk about stripping the ball and we have a misfire here penalty flags let me tell you Vince Lombardi would intimidate you yeah you he intimidated you man we're so does your wife and you do too for some reason I can't figure it out yeah you were totally used to be in the next booth when you're the broadcaster I start prior to stamp number 65 offense five yards still third down that's Gary Zimmerman smite that's my guy yeah thence Lombardi and what a history they call this title town USA when they won those first two Super Bowls what a tradition was established and a Packer faithful waiting for the pack to come back down 17 points this is a big gown for Joe they can get a pushdown right now they're gonna hold up the play it's third and 13 after the penalty back to the 15-yard line and Gary what we said before they're set the game clock to 1138 thank you this is where Elway is the best in the NFL these 3rd and 3rd teams long 3rd down plays because his scrambling combined with the velocity on his throws being able to throw it anywhere on the field make him incredibly unique he stretches you then he sure does [Applause] the ball is caught touchdown and Vince Johnson right back to the same area and got it this time 14 yards that was a great catch and that is a great dance by the way I like that I'd say you know think about Elway and Vance Johnson you know he's he's caught a bunch of touchdowns 32 career touchdowns for him for the Broncos but you know they never got excited when they're down 17 points they just they expect to come back when you have a guy like Elway or Marino or Montana so Vance Johnson with a 17 yard strike the first points of the night for Denver I'm 33 left in his first half why the third round drastic adds the point after 17 to 7 Gary even sometimes when a receiver is covered you have to give him a chance advance Johnson was covered but Elway has enough confidence in him to throw it up and go get advance he did it gives you a little dance as well [Music] a hearty crowd here in Lambeau Field course this is the almost shirtsleeve weather for the people the short brothers they're talking about their famous of their favorite dutch comedians there they are you know Shannon and sterling but this is this is shirtsleeve weather waiting to get up here November and December and starts to get a little cooler Robert Brooks is back there this kicked off along with Daryl Thompson [Applause] bring it out to the 30 nice blow then the former Minnesota standout as of the 35 good field position I don't know what happened to heal him on the kick off that time he's very good at the touch backs but didn't get it there here's tonight's GMC truck leaderboard and we're going to show you the touchdown interception ratio right up to the very moment I Montana Wilson did not play today McConnell his did not change in the win over San Diego here's what I always done eight touchdowns two interceptions and Brett Farr four touchdowns and the five interceptions [Music] [Applause] [Music] the shore to the 35 five-star I believe yes incomplete but even even when he misses it he almost catches it I mean that you see how strong his arms are how strong his hands are defensive coordinators Charlie waters were saying if he blitz Favre enough he'll give you those those you know the dancing feet the Happy Feet he played well tonight thus far throws it off his back foot and that's why he comes in low but I'm surprised Sterling sharps that open I mean he's clearly the featured guy and you have to figure out a way to the double a second intent barb over the top he's got somebody run to the 20 Jacqui Harris will take it all the way 66 yards and look how fast with Corvis - courage this year 66-yard their longest have been 28 yeah you're right Mike Holmgren said you know we have just been struggling trying to come up with big place we haven't had any those last three weeks that's a big play and that's what this picket pick Packer team needs employ Brett Favre was down there he may have been the second guy in the end zone after Harris got in there that's the kind of competitor he is in Jackie Guerra City compared to a yarn Ozzie Newsome he was such an outstanding tied in for the Cleveland Browns is Jackie Ford after their 66 yards - plays 24/7 and Brett Favre with his fifth touchdown toss of the year and Jackie Harris who they feel has some greatness ahead of him [Music] [Applause] [Music] Okin special night Thursday 7:30 Eastern on TNT the Packer faithful haven't had a lot to cheer about but they do here tonight you've got three of her small children in that hats nutkum and it's a salad you got to get him in somehow this will be Garrick Russell returning this kickoff nobody's not and Russell back to receive it at the 25 that's where Denver will start designed playing a call by Sherman Lewis the offensive court here the key guys you can see Mecklenburg go out here when he goes in motion then this is Jackie Harris the tight end who doesn't even get bumped and runs right down the middle of the defense it's a it's a mismatch between Jackie Harris and number 77 Carl Mecklenburg he nobody hits the tight end coming off the line of scrimmage it's an easy touchdown for Green Bay and the most points Jennifer has given up this year and that ball has completed to Reggie Johnson will tide in look like boots had a chance to be intercepts it is thrown right by him and here's one of the most improved players in this Denver team is Johnson he's lost some weight and they want to get the ball to him more he's a terrific Walker got a game ball last week for his blocky hey you know our way through that ball so hard I didn't have to surgically remove it from his chest by getting the tattoo right Wilson burger right on your chest [Applause] pushed out again he's got about to safety man Bernstein and Bernstein that's a first down the only heat of the yard he makes it to the 39 so let's step back Gary and take a look at you know Packers are up twenty four to seven what's happened the special teams for Green Bay have been indeed special their defense has played made some remarkable players particularly in that first quarter their offense has run the ball and then come up with some big plays in the passing game to Jack here is they didn't do those things in the three games they lost one thing that jumps out to me Pat is how they're protecting pawn yeah you're right the three new offensive linemen first down from the [Applause] [Music] setting up a screen Bertie's to the 45 to get recovered that time by Roland Michell from the cornerback spot bring up a second down and right now Shannon Sharpe looks like he's getting the worst of the bet he said they all let you out for 15,000 right now let's buy down this this bed right yeah tell you what I was impressed by Sterling Sharpe shoes I think Shannon would like to have his shoes and the $20,000 it cost about 20 pounds [Applause] [Music] that was in the midst of Bernstein at the 51 I for it couldn't hang on to it and it'll bring up the third down this guy coming over from San Diego's an excellent receiver coming out of the back feet I was just gonna say that's unusual for Bernstein because he is a very good receivers a man in fact all the backs for Denver are good receivers but when you're down twenty four to seven these kind of things seem to have happen and snowball we're trying to get back into a to a game everybody has to make those kind of plays Gary maybe the ghosts of Lambeau Field are coming in here they we're talking about coming in third down and five [Applause] intercepted that was Wayne Simmonds the rookie their top drafted and he picks it inside the 25 he deflected it and intercepted it hey Gary I don't know how Green Bay has lost three ball games because they have done everything right tonight and that wasn't incredibly athletic play by Wayne Simmonds this is only his second start you're going to see Wayne Simmonds right here he's the guy that's going to first tip the ball and he fakes a blitz he fakes like his alignment and he drops back in coverage reach the eyes of Elway tips it up then makes the interception and that's a heck of a play by the rookie Simmons what did they tell us they think he can be an impact player well that was an impact type play the interception sets it up at the 23 [Applause] the single running back Edgar Bennett Scott close to the 17 yard line and stop there the other thing that's happened Gary you mentioned the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers the Blitz has not gotten to Brett Favre he's not been rattled by it the offensive line have done a marvelous job of protecting him under some blitzes by inside linebackers and safeties and the other thing is Atwater and Smith have not been much of a factory they have a scheme usually you feel their impact early an interception by Elway was only his third of the season [Applause] the most invented against cut somebody of the first down inside the 15 gave Wyman made the stop for the Denver Broncos but again you see some holes up front in the running game and here is how the Packers have started the game and they have started so well every week last three weeks they scored on the first drive amazing in it how they script those plays at West Coast offense and it seems to really clear their minds they have an idea what they want to do looks like a svelte like a smoke break Stantler doesn't fire that time at mike foale in his face he just dumped that one out of there that's one of the few times he hasn't had time to operate and it will bring up a fourth down well Denver has tried some outside Bliss's inside blitzes rolls an outside linebacker that time they're just trying to do anything to get him at a rhythm right now so Chris Jackie will come on he's kicked 228 yard field goal earlier we mentioned jacket hit nine in a row before missing one last week this is one of the fine field goal kickers in the NFL this will be a 32-yard attempt ranked winners to snap find wagner to hole [Applause] [Music] jack is it on the way and the light down the middle and so the Packers after the interception by Simmons add three more to their total and Green Bay looking like a team at should have been three in one instead 103 coming in here weeks them tonight is Halloween these guys got a jump on it then they know they grow everything here in Wisconsin needs to shave they're gonna keep that for three more weeks and one Halloween night there's a gay great cricket who will not quit regardless of a sports team down by 20 points but the nose tackle Craig Craig and we'll give you everything he has the rest of the first half in the second half I promise 27 7 the Packers of the lead 726 to go on the first half Jackie kicking on Eric Russell will take it to the edge online over 20 doing a good job in the coverage Department Elway will start it there and looking ahead we have a special edition of the NFL on TNT this Thursday the Rams take on the Falcons in the Georgia Dome the Silver Bullet stadium show kicks things off at 7 o'clock Eastern followed by the game at 7:30 never been in the Georgia Dome of you know I have not looking forward to it well I take that back I don't like dumps I like it here Lambeau Field this is real football in it is nice he's changing the grass on the field the tradition this is the [Applause] he gets out to the 30 just to crossed it a couple of yards short of the first down gary shannon sharpe may not have caught any passes yet but he made he made a terrific block on pop number 95 for the Green Bay Packers there he is number 84 Shannon Sharpe I mean he cleared the way on the outside of the outside runs yeah I guess it's easier to block on what you're holding them that's a terrific block except he didn't get away with it yeah that's what happens when you're on the end of the line of scrimmage though and the interior guys get away with those kind of holes but not when you're in the end bonus room you know Sterling Sharpe was a number one draft pick of the Packers this guy went in the seventh round out of Savannah State earned his way on the team as a special teams player the end of that plane tied in as well as an h-back spot and has now become an excellent receiver he's really fought his way up the last he is a heck of receiver who's going to have to get involved after the penalty [Applause] complete to Johnson and Vance Johnson having a very big first half that'll be a couple yards short of the first down they needed 20 he gets out to the 21 he has four catches for 53 yards and a touchdown I've watched Vance Johnson for a long time Gary and I think what he is very good at is he's very strong in his legs and he's real quick in and out of breaks and you may have him covered for a while but he's so strong out of the break that's when he comes open and that's when the ball is delivered second down [Applause] was intended for shannon sharpe at the 25 think somebody get a hand on the ball anyway the connection was not made in its third and 12 now for Elway and the Broncos you know Elway was talking about having a lot of weapons this year not sure this ball was actually deflected it did come pretty hard and heavy and behind the iron yeah pretty hard to change direction like that correct your body and as an end result third and 12 we really haven't seen much of Glynn Milberg I mean Wade Phillips say we handed it when open the ball some tonight till 8 of 16 now [Applause] this time he gets it the man here at this time scats out to the 33 that'll be enough for the first down this guy when he gets in the open field he just dries defensive coordinators crazy that's a 13-yard gain yes like eating jello with chopsticks you know I've never tried that no it's hard it's hard catching them they're going into there no huddle now here in the hurry after they go boy this is been teach John Elway at his best 16 yards and they're on the move and the Packers want to call timeout and stop this juggernaut you know that that's a good call by the Green Bay defensive coordinator railroads I mean you have a quarter a quarterback who's superb with a two-minute drill or you've got a 20-point lead you know why not and so the Packers still have two timeouts remaining as do the Denver Broncos it gives us an opportunity to look at week six here at the NFL action on the Russell Athletic scoreboard and the Chiefs without Joe Montana one but it wasn't easy Barry Foster over the century mark once again and the Raiders beating the Jets lost to tough back-to-back kid sevens had a big day and how about Moreno gonna have an MRI on him tomorrow the original report we were hearing is out for the season but now they've kind of resented that yeah and the Cardinals losing at home to New England so Bill Parcells his first win as a Patriots coach Bears have won three in a row now gave one Stutz did a nice job there yes he has on the Vikings what was it Brett Farr said the Vikings had the best defense [Music] ceptin we have a flag on the play Mike Pryor who came over from the cults as an unrestricted free agent almost had an interception it's going to be a penalty against Denver he had six interceptions for the Colts last year the penalty against Denver but that you know that's that was a freebie Mike Pryor should have had that ball I mean you know nice playing getting there but you know that's the difference between being one and three and three and one Gary making plays like that illegal formation number 65 was none of the line of scrimmage five yards repeat first down that's the z-man Gary Zimmerman what was his sterling Sharpe said not only do the receivers need to catch ball our defensive backs yeah need the catch yeah Jordan sharp said everybody's got to begin to make the plays and we're going to get the thing turned around first down and 15 now after the penalty and the four [Applause] get out of the pocket and Ritchie potty you see the speed of light huh you don't run John Elway down from the backside very often and the seven-time Pro Bowler white got him and dropped him short of the midfield striving we talked about Reggie white lifting a team he's only had one and he's right and left of your screen number 92 getting double-teamed again but I mean he makes the mixture whole defense [Applause] a farside lowly heads by Vance Johnson headed for a big big night and that is going to be enough for the first down a 10-yard grab with 452 remaining in the second quarter here and down by 24 Denver's thinking hey we have plenty of time to get maybe two scores on the board before half-time advance with five catches for 62 a over and adjustment by Johnson he had pretty good coverage that time on him in the far side by Mohammed Oliver now Oliver is seeing his first action for the Packers he was a former draft pick of the Broncos he's a decathlete from the University of Oregon covered that one very well he still a question mark for the Packers they think he can get the duct job done but he is new just just picked up a few weeks ago and and they feel that he he's got to prove it to us to the Green Bay Packers but he hit it there and doesn't get a lot to the 38-yard line of green vein out there within field goal range of elam right now what was it wait Philip said we get to the 38 we can bring him in here watching Milburn and watching somebody they did put backs like let billboard [Applause] two toys Johnson tried to go up and get it inside the 30-yard line that'll stop the clock with 4:15 remaining in this first half of play 27 to 7 the Packers with the lead and they're going to go for it on fourth and seven the element has kicked field goals of more than 70 yards in practice now here again he had some experience receivers you're past the down marker [Applause] being chased he got away a lot of time [Applause] he fumbles it forward and they're going to with a penalty he may have tried to throw the ball forward where's down which is illegal but Gary I thought that ball was stayed inbounds and should have been a fumble recovery for Green Bay he needed to get just to about the 30 to pick up the first down he needed eight yards on a fourth down and they're gonna discuss this way looked like maybe the packard recovered it but he was out of bounds when he did that but let's look and see in a moment and the discussion going on we have an illegal forward pass behind the line of scrimmage the 5-yard penalty first down the call an illegal forward pass rather than the you know the try to advance a fumble because if it's a fumble here the grave a pass ball stays inbounds the Green Bay Packers should have had it recovered right there let's say that he stay in not me went out but his forward progress impetus took him out but a pass you know it looks like that old Dave Casper play I know the old you can't stand a little edge right anyway the Packers take over on downs that was a fourth and eight they didn't get it and from the 38 now [Applause] [Music] play-action completes it Jackie Harris what right now barb is in a rhythm you can just see it he's growing compliments wise why shouldn't he's getting the protection that's a 13-yard game and you know it it's the same matchup between Harris the tight end in Mecklenburg number 77 right there in the middle your screen and it's a matchup the Packers like and get Sherman Lewis the offensive coordinator of the Packers some credit because he's gone to it now twice one for touchdown that time for the first two 639 this time complete hurtling sharp and he's instantly hit by Tyrone Paxton now they're saying he did not have the football it's in completely one of the few times he doesn't pluck it that's the one thing you haven't watched in films is he just got the ball out of the air or those strong hands look at his arms I mean he's got the arms of a tackle Noro strong arm strong hands he's wearing those scuba gloves yeah in that interesting we went down and talked to Bob NOLA trainer and he was showing us those are scuba gloves rather than the soccer gloves at the regular season cold weather usually returning until you greet them second down Tim he's having a big night to the 12 push down Green Bay to see teams come back and repeat successful plays you don't see it enough in the NFL but the third time Barton Harris against Karl Mecklenburg it's a matchup it's a mismatch right now and Harris he's got the the better certainly of Karl Mecklenburg and Green Bay continues to exploit a two deep plays and earlier was a little 10-yard hook how's this for a number three catches now for Harris 117 yards and of course the 66 yard strike the six the Maris is really in a wide receiver playing tight in I mean he's a big guy he gets down field John Stevens Stevens we'll get to the ten water one of those Safety's coming up - we haven't called their name very much Smith or add water this time they'll stop him from the ten Agena - we're going to talk about the safeties of Denver the thing that jumps out at you really mad is the fact that they are so big yes Smith III 200 at water they list him at 217 pounds yeah they can come up and hit you but right now those guys are going to have to come up and hit you and Denver defense needs a turnover more than anything else right now hearing the two-minute warning we'll be back [Music] Pat it's a series of adjustments you make it a ball game yeah and that's what that's what Charlie waters the defensive coordinators going to have to do it's a mismatch between mecklenburg and jackie harris but i think what you have to do is it makes sure jackie Harris doesn't get off the ball cleanly I mean Harris on the fruit all three catches he's had a free ride and has been able to release without anybody holding him up at the line of scrimmage we come back second at eight from the Tim the Packers with a twenty seven to seven lead two minutes remaining in the first half Packers with two timeouts left let's have water is coming after season at water can't get to him and he dumps it off incomplete for that blitz really bothered Brett Farve that time you know as Charlie waters told us this week that one of the matchups he was concerned is west on Mecklenburg and now those defenses that led by Atwater is trying to make a play try to make a play but John Stevens to back really did a pretty good job of keeping him away from Brett Favre with a chip block there or far was in real trouble so it's third down now eight yards to go and we're gonna have a timeout called and the Packers now have one remaining in this first half coming up at half-time be sure and stay with us for the fruit of the Loom halftime report Bob Neil and Kevin Kiley here in this picturesque setting scores and highlights from week six first half analysis and the special guest at Swilley defensive linebacker for the Detroit Lions still rushing the passer old man he played the Lions now in a three-way tie for first place in that NFC Central they were idle of course today there are three and two how about the Bears after starting on two there now three and two well the fan you know you know the Packers continue to play like this you know the second half of this year I think they're gonna be a team to be reckoned with I mean it's hard to figure they've lost three games the way they're playing tonight how they get a by next week and it's a long season yet no it's anakena this day is a marathon but right now Brett Favre can't throw an interception a sacks okay because you're still in field goal but don't turn the ball over there [Applause] pulled it off this time barb is now sprinting away from the pressure inside the five stopped at the floor and Dennis Smith coming over there who's been playing at a Hall of Fame paste this season and it's going to be a fourth down are they going to do here that was a good job by the Denver defense I think everybody they faked the Blitz to Fred Farr you know they had guys come up and then they drop back you see Braxton number 34 Geysers faking the Blitz then they drop back in coverage farm had nowhere to go getting chased by Trinette and then some guys rally on the ball carrier and when you hit Dennis Smith you generally stop yep and go back with yeah the Broncos used to timeout so they have one remaining so that'll get Holmgren a little more time to make a decision he was getting ready to send the team on on a fourth down and still a long - well sir - three yards her up by 20 points make it 23 I mean to me it's fourth to - there's no doubt you kick the field goal you vote by 23 points well he heard you it goes here comes Jackie on to the field Mike Holmgren was driving up yesterday for a meeting in his Harley Davidson and his wife Kathy said it's just a male thing he's going through right now says he's got a lot of new friends now the other day drove up and some guys wanted to sit on their motorcycles so they could say Mike Holmgren was on my hog it's a whole new crowd he did with the Raiders there - would me a 22 yard field goal that the pocket static you Jackie adds the three points and makes heavy thirty to seven game well if anybody just joined us or seeing the score they would say that's got to be reversed yeah you know Denver's leading 30 said don't tell me the Packers are leading 32 7 you know funny we talked about it it was showed an earlier graphic about Denver being a sensational home team not particularly good on the road but we've also talked about John Elway bringing his team from behind now there's 136 left in the first a this game is clearly not over but it is important I think that John Elway a stat was something some sort of rhythm right here he has a timeout he's got plenty of time to get us a few little position our field goal team in position to score and and maybe plenty of time really to get a touchdown on the board there's always time for this guy 31 times in the fourth quarter he's come from behind and we had one in the first regular season game last year in sir Raiders well Kansas City winning today of course Denver trying to keep pace with a victory here surprising Seattle behind Rick Meyer the Raiders pulling one out today at the very end San Diego really been struggling and so Denver trailing 32 7 in a catch-up posture making their first appearance ever here in Lambeau Field in the regular season Jack he gets into this one at the goal line and he'll go to me now did he get out then he come out with a ball it's going to be in the discussion is it a touchback oh hey there they come but I take for a moment there Derek Russell thought maybe he'd been on with the field of play let's look at it again now his foot was on the goal line there they say in the impetus to boy I ball back that's the way the impetus of the ball brought it back in the endzone so here's a touch back well he wasn't sure though he was looking around for help from the 20-yard line Elway with a minute 34 left in the half and he completes it to Shannon Sharpe and chopped out to the 29 of the yard short of the first down and here they go about the huddle second down a yard to go one timeout remaining for the Broncos back to sharp against Oceania now touching up to his older and he has a first down a nice run after the catch makes it out to the 46 yard line there's an arrogance about this new offensive denver saying hey we can play the catch and then get some yards after the catch that you are good enough to tackle us and that's why you see then using guys like Shannon Sharples with guys like him he'll break some tackles [Applause] [Music] this time L was going for Oliver [Music] and catch up to it excellent effort at the five yard Elway P that ball a long ways they advance Johnson knew he had that burst right at the end but the ball just a yard too long I mean Vance Johnson is a fast receiver but he still has a little bit of burst left when the balls in the air that ball was 50 to 55 yards in the air their side Shannon shot again there's a penalty flag I believe there is at the line of scrimmage the sharpest tackled short of the first down one all one left in the half it's going to be holding against Denver ok this offensive line of Denver has been very good seventy-nine ten yards repeat second down average is six foot six 289 pounds you know with the addition of Gary Zimmerman Brian Habib wide al number 79 is to go this it's a call we got one over that time but David grant number 98 second in 20 [Applause] the Milburn Gilbert [Music] another rookie was over there and read it well in state with him and knocks him out of bounds short of the 40-yard line George Teague they're saying this is his first start the National Football League he is number one draft pick for Green Bay said we needed a free safety they can make plays from sideline to sideline well he did it there he had a great special teams play earlier when he caused a fumble as well 54 seconds way [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Tim in the middle shirts my and they should have had a pic there Leroy Butler had the closest shot at it that's one of those where there's too many guys going to the ball you've got it I've got it and nobody got it there wasn't any any Denver receivers around there but it was the block first of all by Russell Freeman number 68 on the right side on Reggie White they gave him gives him the chance he steps up inside that block now ordinarily Denver as soon as they see Elway scramble somebody goes deep nobody went deep on that play so on a fourth down run will punish [Applause] to the 20 and if he tackled of the 22 at 34 seconds left in the half 46 yard punt by Tom ruin an aged yard return and so the Packers with a 32 7 lead but it had been a balanced Packer attack to Gary in the sense that the offense has done their thing defense I think is played remarkably well special teams have had their big plays a turnover big kick return by Brooks every phases had a team meeting Wednesday what was that they said they kind of read committed everything in Yellin it was just great commitment let's have a plan and let's make it work football is about focus and this green bait at Packer team is focused tonight I would love to Stephen Stephens over the walls and in a wounded here it comes across the 25 both teams have one timeout remaining you see the time remaining it's been a stunner as this Packer faithful long-suffering as their beloved team with a 32 7 late and Mike Holmgren who is never really ever panic has been very stable and has had almost a serene approach to this very slow start has to be pleased at the halfway point the fruit alone halftime report coming up at half-time 32 7 Green Bay gentlemen [Music] the fruit of the Loom halftime report is brought to you by Fruit of the Loom closed for the best of your life well the Denver Broncos until tonight had never in the history of their franchise played the Packers here at Lambeau Field now they're not going to want to come back and do it again they're trailing 32 seven at the half that's willing Kevin Kiley now be back in a couple of minutes and talk about that first half but right now we're gonna go to Ernie Johnson jr. in Atlanta and Ernie that Miami Cleveland game quarterbacks are the story but mainly we're concerned here about the situation with Dan Marino what's the latest I'll tell you they have got their fingers crossed on Miami way to night folks because Dan Marino did hurt his right Achilles tendon today there will be an MRI performed tomorrow the Dolphins will know much more about the future of Dan Marino at that time it happened in the second quarter against Cleveland today you saw him right there he goes down Don Shula that's hoping Dan has been so durable you know and we've just sort of depended on him and then all of a sudden he's gone and you got to be able to deal with it hopefully we'll get some good news tomorrow that he that he perhaps won't be out for the year we don't know that yet Marino headed to the sidelines Scott Mitchell came on his first pass was intercepted in return for six but he rallied Miami in two touchdown passes in the third from Mitchell the Dolphins win at 24 14 the Browns say Vinny Testaverde will start Bernie Kosar bench next week against Cincinnati the Bengals remain winless today the Chiefs got him 17 to 15 their third straight win for KC Montana did not play San Diego the drought continues they've only got four touchdowns in five games Pittsburgh got him 16 to 3 Barry foster over a hundred yards for the 10th time in his last 11 home games it was a backup quarterback to the rescue for the New England Patriots today Scott C cules was the man who rallied him because Drew Bledsoe sprained a left knee ligament 21:16 Cardinals in the for C culés to Kevin Turner who won't go down in fact gets rid of this thing - Leonard Russell questionable but they say it was not a forward lateral he's gonna take this thing down to the to play covers 82 yards and sets up the game-winner with under four minutes to go CQ off the big bend coats and the New England Patriots and Bill Parcells have their first victory of the year 23 21 over the Phoenix Cardinals both teams are one in four the Washington Redskins are wanted for their worst home loss in 45 years the Giants got him 41 to 7 the Chicago Bears 17 to 6 winners over the Philadelphia Eagles bubby Brister was sacked seven times today it was a backup quarterback to the rescue today also with the Raiders is there a theme developing here folks Vince Evans comes on for Jeff Hostetler throws a couple of touchdown passes has the Raiders down there in scoring position with just seven ticks left Nick Bell does the rest for Raiders come from behind to beat the Jets boy they've had a couple of tough losses Vince Evans happy he should be 24 to 20 the Raiders over the Jets the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts at the Hoosier dome Emmitt Smith had 104 yards rosy pops at 113 for the Colts was the 27 to three Dallas win they've won three straight Tampa Bay shutout fine Minnesota the Vikings take it 15 to nothing as Greg Erickson threw four interceptions for Tampa Bay here on TNT tonight it's Green Bay 30 the Denver Broncos 7 at the break we'll take it back to Lambeau to Bob and Kevin and to Pat Schwimmer after this [Music] well at least for the first half at least on this Sunday night the pack is back thirty to seven the Packers lead the three and one Denver Broncos and yes they've scored 30 points but Kevin Kiley the main thing to look at is the defense even though that Denver has the improved offensive line the Packers defense is played well they played great Pat's willing and I have been sitting here during the first half discussing the importance of pass rushing and how do you deal with a guy like Richie white now Reggie doesn't have a whole lot of sex in the first half but he's made a heck of an impact on that Denver offense no he sure has taken two and three players to blocking sometimes and when one plate a head nil when trying to help block on him and that keeps me over from getting out into the past route but as you can see here this is the play nietzermann can't get out so that also takes away from the from their office so he's definitely made an impact during the game and of course here John Elway was able to get away on this and complete the pass he completed a bunch of them in the first half 14 for 170 yards but on this play you'll see them double-team Reggie and that's gonna free up somebody else yes you will get a good pass rush up the middle and also Brock comes from the outside and one-on-one with his guy and listas Garber reg it really makes the play happen because it makes the guy step up in the pocket and Brock comes along and makes it gets to sack it also makes you wonder about just how effective this Packer defense could be if and when Tony Bennett gets back now one of the things we talked about in the pregame show Pat you and I was the fact that you've noticed a trend change in stripping the ball obviously it's an old football technique but more emphasis on it this year you said you've had it and we saw it some in this game here tonight well I learned it from Ricky Jackson down in New Orleans he always talked about stripping the ball ball away as you can see in this game here this guy comes he's run the ball Millburn right here and the guy comes right in he has an opportunity to tackle the guy but instead of just tackling him he tried to stroke the ball out and they were able to get it out and and the ball's going the other way and the packers have the ball and that's really a great place it is at George Teague the rookie making his first start how do you do it how do you teach it I mean you teach you not to tackle to tackle to half tackle well you teach him to wrap up what is with one arm but also try to get the ball out and there's a lot of opportunities when you can and can't do it and you have to teach your players win the gamble and try to get the ball out and win not to and and I think that's taught doing practice and we're doing it in Detroit and I think a lot of teams around around the ladies doing it yeah now if you're you're done Denver side of the ball here you get the 30 points have been given up to the Green Bay Packers what's your view about Denver Broncos coming into the second half of this game I think always gonna have to set the ball and throw some deep balls getting back into the ballgame his receivers Vance Johnson those guys are guys who can get beaten catch the ball but I think John I have to try to get them back in with the deep ball okay Pat's willing we'll look forward to your comments so we have our postgame Stadium show Kevin Kiley hope you'll enjoy the second half the Green Bay Packers stunning the Broncos in the first half with a lead of 32 7 outstanding special teams play and the defense is risen tall here tonight at Lambeau Field hope you all enjoy the second half we'll see you right after the ballgame the fruit of the Loom halftime report has been brought to you by Fruit of the Loom closed for the best of your life is one to you by Isuzu makers have incredible four-wheel drive and by Pittsburgh banks you work too hard to think with anything less Green Bay 30 Denver 7 Gary bender along with Pat Haden as we've come to the halftime and here's tonight's pittsburgh paints game summary and the special teams have been as you said earlier special tonight as they have set up the Packers in very good shape one touchdown and one field goal Jackie Harris first 100 yard day of his career they scored in the first six possessions I want to watch Jackie Harris show you how spectacular he was 117 yards and three catches but before we do that let's watch the special teams on the kickoff yeah this was this was Robert Brooks and you know we've said a couple times before Gary the good teams can beat you with special teams they can beach with offense and defense the Packers have done all it tonight but when you have the two games starting like this it really spits sets a special tone you're playing at home you know you won in three it's a nationally televised game guys want to play well and that gave them a big boost I think 68 yard return after 95 yard return last week you know give the Packers some credit here and Sherman Lewis their offensive coordinator from putting a nice scheme together getting their tight end Jackie Harris who runs like a wide receiver a matched up against Carl Mecklenburg back oberek is a great player but really what is strength is not in pass coverage here's another one he's he's going to be right in here going right down the middle here's Mecklenburg again give the Packers of credit to Gary is they came back to it you know they came back to the play they used Harris those three times and again I think when you're on a roll you're not afraid to call it on a guy's number yeah this was the 38 yard completion to Harris you see Michael Berg's doing everything he can and like I said Michael Brooks a great player he's a great publicity great stunner of a tackler but you don't want him running downfield with Jackie Harris so Brett Favre had a strong first half and in a catch-up posture trailing 32 seventh as Jackie will kick off it'll be Derek Russell inside the five the flag on the play as he's tackled at the 27 so after Milburn fumbled that one kickoff or should say was stripped to that one kickoff by Teague he hasn't been back there since - two surprises I think there's that the penalty against Denver - surprises - Gary Milburn was not a fact in the first half we thought he would be holding number 31 on the return ten yards from the end of the run first down in the second thing Brett Favre handled the Blitz in the first half not only Brett Favre but the line did a very good job and there's the number as you can see Favre who did not have a touchdown or an interception last week back he hadn't thrown a touchdown pass the last two games [Applause] so the penalty moves the ball back to the 16th that was intended for Vance Johnson but he had coverage Teague was over you know it's something about guys like George Teague they play big in big games remember the Sugar Bowl the national championship game against Miami they just expect to make big plays you're right we talked to him yesterday he is not intimidated at all about his opening start in the NFL he was very anxious the first half the package that's not too bad there's Johnson coming back making the catch this time very close to the first down Vance Johnson has been the go-to guy as far as Elway is concerned and it will be a first down or this is the guy that if anybody can catch up he can do it and you know that that was what Mike Holder was talking about at halftime [Applause] [Music] no burn tackle by Wayne Simmonds the rookie who they're so excited about he did a good job of stopping Millburn as he started to make his cut and so the first down now will be at the 27 yard line they did not let the first gentleman I stand corrected they way yard short in there standing on my toes to hear is jamming sharp and sharp makes the cat's just short of the 35-yard line but both the sharp brothers have very large and very strong hands you get the ball somewhere in their neighborhood yeah that's a that's a good hand those aren't stupid gloves are they those are kind of like the others [Music] [Applause] the barber Marshall and then he was just joking I mean Hitler well Lee Buckley separated him from the football buck with their number-one draft pick it a year ago and he really powdered just Terrell Buckley I mean he had a nice Drive on the ball how they go with the catch they're claiming it was a catch and a fumble least the Packers are but no sir up Beckley read the play perfectly saw this land now Elway throws it with such velocity you not to be able to knock it away the best thing to do oh I don't think he had possession at all let's go back and look at it again [Applause] oh yeah you got kicked in the face there I guess I am down by contact [Applause] and he goes down and picks up on the place seven yards just short of the 45 yard line well you can't waste any series when you're down 32 7 generally going to get 6 to 7 series and a half and you're down 32 7 you've got a score on virtually every one of your series and they're in that hurry up posture again which works so effectively now little confusion Derrick Russell's we split with Johnson to the top of the field [Applause] [Music] [Applause] makes the connection to shannon sharpe again sharp will be stopped short of the 45 Reggie white with a great effort let's look at it you know he's an athletic guy Reggie White 295 pounds I mean he could still jump over some people and it makes him we talked about him lifting up the play of the team your defensive back maybe get a few more interception you know if you're lying back he'd have more freedom here defensive lineman [Applause] [Music] looking to Derrick Russell has to go he was hit hard in the bowlers in complete the intended receiver was John was over there was hit at the 45-yard line personal foul with a blow to the face number 36 15 yards first down as Leroy Cutler's a strong safety well that's two personal fouls that if kept drives a life form yeah that's a good call right to the face it's a pretty good play here by Pryor adding it away but of course the penalty now we'll set it out first down just short of the Packer 30 [Music] [Applause] you see always starting the second half of this fashion if you open the draw is going to set it up and sitting on 67 opportunity flags everywhere as Milburn carries a lot and he got shot backwards he got to the 26 yard line before he was nailed there they really haven't been able to get Glenn Milburn out in the open spaces you know they want a matchup with Milburn and a linebacker they haven't been able to manufacture that match up yet Gary if they thought they could and they thought they'd have a big advantage but so far Green Bay has done a great job stopping 86 offense 5 yards repeat first down let's Arthur Marshall making that miscue he meant be still a little bit shaken after that hit he took a while ago from Terrell Buckley so the pebbly Wilson back first and 15 just outside the 35 of Green Bay 32 7 the Packers of the lead [Applause] Chavez taco and another fly gonna play that way that time had to get rid of it because rice pop was after him Price pop is really coming off the corner now if you're a defensive lineman you know you know it's 37 you're coming after John Elway in the shotgun formation but pop well he is so quick upfield and just a persistent kind of guy personal foul this time against Denver that's 15 penalties tonight in this game there's Papa guy from Scranton I always said I got my work ethic chop block on number 79 to the offense 15 yards repeat first out Dave Liddell was the guy he will be of that seems like every time Denver gets on prime-time there's a lot of penalties you know yep but anyway pop was saying I learned of beer a lot was to keep coming a hundred miles an hour because of the work ethic I learned growing up on the farm first down now and thirty yards to go to set up the screen of Melbourne but he was knocked down let's go back and look at that chop-chop walk-on Reggie White and I'd say that this is a dangerous play and they should have called a personal foul cuz you're gonna see him he's engaged there yeah yeah the guy goes low I mean that's that's a bad play and you can pull out a guy's be that way that is the absolutely going home rather than 30 becoming gets it off completely jelly crush to the 35-yard line took a long ways to go that'll be a 14 yard gain they have to reach the 20 to pick up a first down 12 minutes left in the third Denver in a catch-up situation in Elway making the Packers a little uncomfortable he starts the second half [Applause] you see half-brother system on that one [Applause] you talk about our vehicle leave he got up and made the play of beautiful play by Buckland you know Gary you have to be very confident to play corner the NFL and Buckley is he's clearly very very confident talk to him he just sensed it from him but what you can make plays like that that's [Music] on the 4th down and 16 azzam lined up again cutting motion of us power [Applause] and so the man the most sought-after free agent in the history of the National Football League has impacted this game a sack on fourth down the Packers will come back they'll have the football I've been this telecast is presented by authority of the National Football League and is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the Green Bay Packers and the National Football League is prohibited you know we're back here Gary but white watch here as we watch Reggie white on the on the 2nd 4th and 16 you know you can't single block Reggie White and the Denver had a couple of options they could have tried a long field goal would have been over 50 yards but in any event you have to double-team Reggie White in a situation like that it would have been about a 53 yarder now the alum is kicked 254 yarder this year Favre giving off now to Bennett flag on the play as Bennett struggles to the 45 yard line so they didn't get anything out of that dry they had the ball a long time gonna be holding it illegal use of the hands against Green Bay but you go back to not trying that field goal you need what three touchdowns in a field yo holding offense number 52 10 yards repeat first down well you know the the Packers in the first half Gary ran the ball from 56 yards I mean this has not been a dominant running team and Mike Holmgren freely admits hey we're still two years away from really being one of the top echelon teams but they have not been able to run the ball well generally this season and this is the type of game where you'd love to be able to grind [Music] snuffed out before got started because Darryl Thompson was hit by Mecklenburg now Mecklenburg then had a tough time against Harris did a good job on the run there yeah but that's how you use Carl Mecklenburg blitzing inside making some stops you don't want him running downfield on a very fast tight end but this is what he does well he has a feel for the game he sees the guard pull and as soon as the guard leaves he comes up and stops the back of the back yard Aceveda can bring up second down now and 28 yards to go behind mr. teuchi 24 passers have not turned the ball over tonight Gary that's another key there is far back and slides short of the 30-yard line picking up four yards maybe five on the play but you know that that's a heads-up play I mean he looked a little funny but you're leading by the twenty three points don't force the ball over now don't you know it was third and forever don't make a mistake I mean Brett Favre is a competitive guy and he gives you that little craic there he looks like a guy that brings out your groceries from the store to your car yeah but this is a very competitive and courageous guy I think and he's answers for questions Gary about the Blitz he really has and of course today his 24th birthday he'd like to have a birthday present with a victory he's got a third and 23 now [Applause] my coal and coal takes an emphasis you know he fart is complete up near the right because his receiver was held was grabbed I think Gary that's too easy Ben watch this you can't give him an easy score but I thought 34 Edgar Bennett who was the screen back got held here and I was wrong well no drew Nate got him a little bit thrown a got him a Jeanette got him a little bit there but that was just an easy interception for Mike roll 22 yards and that gets Denver right back into this one that's what Farah was arguing about that that Bennet was held the goal and six and now point after attempt is good by element 32:14 and the crowds gotten very quiet here at the 946 mark of the third quarter crawl that outstanding speed takes it in let's go back to the interception to Mike Crowell have for the touchdown watch number 99 Trinette hold right there right there you gonna see him holding with his arm Edgar Bennett and that was what Farr was complaining about now if the ball may have been intercepted anyway but Jornet did get his grandma his big old paw and Hale Bennett give them kicking off backwards old concerns on on side they had one last week in Dallas fielding at that time by Darrell Thompson was a poplin to handle and he brings it out to the 30 31 yard line so it's now 32 14 with 938 to go on the third quarter well Gary this has really been a game of field position 2 and Green Bay has has superb field position all game looking ahead to the Georgia Dome on Thursday a special edition of the NFL on TNT the Rams and Falcons 7 o'clock Eastern with the stadium show 7:30 the kickoff we have now the line of scrimmage the 31 Thompson's come out of the lineup second replacement data [Applause] here is Bennett you can see the steam giant activity 16-point game now you can't get too conservative the Packers are not a dominant running football team and in mic homeroom has to be able to manufacture some first downs don't be afraid to throw the ball they came out very aggressively early in the game they got the ball to Sterling Sharpe in kind of gun and then they threw the ball to Jackie here us you know get those guys back involved in the in a game plan it carried the ball 21 times for 54 yards the Packers have as they come to a second and nine Thompson's come back into the running back they think he could get outside for [Music] in motion anybody catch an early call and he gets rid of it there'll be no grounding because he was able to get outside the tight ends run to the nearside pressure coming and got it near the line of scrimmage so there's no intentional grounding this year because of that new rule and that came at a good time for Brett Favre because he had nobody over there it maybe not be a penalty but I want to tell you Brett Favre took one heck of a shot and you're not going to outrun my Crowell too often I promise you this guy who just ran back in interception for a touchdown but he took a pretty good shot on his shoulder on his knee on his wrist roll you know it was a sprint champion in high school in the angel barb will believe your idea [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] game for the first time number 29 in the Packer fans do not like that conservative call and they're gonna have to punt the football and the Denver defense certainly did their job now now it's up the Denver defense is played well at times the offense is struggle maybe the special teams will do Millburn maybe it's a blocked punt special teams has to do something special for Denver now [Music] [Applause] Leeloo langa pretty close to melbourne coming over he still returned instantaneously Robert puts us down there very quickly also a little assist on the play and it'll be a 39-yard punt a four yards return that was Doug Evans who helped on that stop so Hong from special teams covered it very well [Music] as I mentioned a while ago you see this game starting to turn that momentum starting to switch in favor of Denver well you know Green Bay has not gotten a pass to Sterling Sharpe since the first quarter and now it's a 16-point game you know two touchdowns and a field goal and Denver clearly give back in this football game but that's the guy for Green Bay sharp sterling sharp that has to get the ball back in his hands well it was all sterling then Shannon has started to catch footballs for the Denver Broncos Denver will start this drive from their own 32 you see the time remaining in the score [Applause] [Music] [Applause] over the middle complete to Derrick Russell and Russell's able to carry that ball far enough for the first down his forward progress is going to be marked at the 43 no huddle they're coming out of in a hurry a 12 yard pick up on the play nope here they go in the huddle and they faked you out again yep startled they make the no huddle then hollow up now they've got Kimbo in the ball game again number 80 and the Packers have to watch him he's our fastest white out he's put to the top of the field quickly with a Bernstein we stopped a couple he had one hi this is a little low and couldn't hang on today though up until this game John Elway was really in rhythm throwing for a 67 percent completion average you know the receivers didn't have to adjust much but tonight he's throwing the ball a little bit in front of guys a little bit behind high and low the receivers are having to adjust for for the ball tonight that they have their previous four game he's at 56% right now [Applause] back in 2010 this time Bernstein hangs on breaks a tackle and he got a first down that's a very resourceful run by Bernstein ends up being a 13-yard gain this guy coming over from San Diego's had some big days his biggest problem is just staying healthy yeah but you're right but he is a big target I mean this this guy is 63 comes out of the backfield and you you think he had a little guy out of the backfield oh just dumping the ball he'll get tackled but this is what Denver has done they've created four five and they pick up 15 when they did successful this year that's what they've done first down at the 43 [Music] [Applause] flushed out [Applause] I tried to give chase and that gave a little more time then he just throws it away okay I'm really surprised about the Denver receivers have not done much for John Elway on scrambles I mean very few guys aren't working back to him ordinarily one guy goes deep I haven't seen anybody go deep in the Denver offense on the scramble but he's not getting any help when he's out during the scrambler [Applause] there is Mike home Brittany when his soccer skills second down and ten from the 42 I get the 43 [Applause] they're gonna give Johnson the gun yes they will he had it long enough Vance Johnson makes the catch just short of the 35 at the 36 yard line he may be cramping up say this ball is in the air for a long time for an eight-yard gain though that is a perfect throw and Vance Johnson has worked the sidelines he's worked the end zone awfully well tonight that's what he's got when you start pulling those toes up you know it's granting Bravo third down now for you [Applause] Gallade hand up the Bernstein Bernstein got the first down he has six three weighs close to 240 pound first down run to the 30 here are your right the momentum of this game has clearly changed it's a 16-point game so they're thinking about the two touchdowns in the field goal for Denver and that's a guy they need back thanks John because he has had a brilliant night receiving the ball who got caught a touchdown has worked the outside routes very very well John Patterson comes in to give somebody a blow on the defensive line they're having to do a lot of pass rushing right now in this quarter first out into the 3604 Arthur Marshall and Marshall has another first down this will be at the 17-yard line the free agent fine from a year ago great protection and wonderful patience there by John Ellen I mean there are there bodies flying around but he just hung in there hung in there he kind of glanced left felt that he wasn't getting in it get going to get sacked and then he drilled the ball I mean that was a very patient role John Elway first down [Applause] pass him right now [Applause] and it's broken up and that's a fine play by Mohammed Oliver Kimbrel looked like he was going to make the catch and Oliver the guy who has been thrown into the battle zone as the coaches were saying his first action was equal to the task number 25 there is Oliver in railroads the defensive coordinator for Green Bay said hey you know we're not sure how well he's gonna ply but he has played very well this evening it was at one of the keys to the game in the quarantine according to railroads we as hi John seven-foot one revision decathlon [Applause] gilben in the open field those have owned if t move that we've seen xalapa the cake this week and he takes it to the 15-yard line tape what's happening that is the defense of the packers have to run a lot and really being stretched well you're right in the rushing to pass for a lot Green Bay I mean the Denver Broncos have only rushed they have only rushed ten times but this is what they want to do with mill board they want him out there on the periphery of the defense where he could make some guys look foolish Simmons Oliver make the stop third down seven he runs that one complete to shannon sharpe and that ball was thrown on a line i mean it got there in a hurry a 12 yard gain first and goal the thing about that particular throw that's an important throw third and seven shannon sharpe first of all ran the right distance and then he came open at the right time Gary you know a lot of receivers on third downs come open either too early or too late it was a perfectly timed route by Shannon Sharpe when Elway was ready to deliver the ball so the other sharp now is getting all the activity we get a ballgame here now yep first and goal at the three [Applause] didn't get very it looked like he wanted to take off and got short-circuit at that time and could not go any further give credit to Wayne Simmonds the rookie will bring up second and goal there remember again it's 16-point game Denver needs two touchdowns in a field goal the defense has to shut out Green Bay the rest of the way but right now with this Drive Denver is thinking we want to cap this thing off with a touchdown I'm not set it settling for the field goal here even though they're going to need one thing they could go this route second ago from the two Bernstein again diving touchdown Denver that was a heck of a lunge by Bernstein and that wasn't blocked for a touchdown he stretched it for a touchdown [Applause] it was thirty two seven and now thirty two twenty watch George Koontz number 53 trying to make a play but just a little late didn't get up early enough because Sully was hanging around his feet he couldn't jump to meet the oncoming rod Bernstein Oh Bernstein after not getting it in the previous play does this time or this game hey I'm really changed and everyone is just still right now it's quiet here in Lambeau Field Neelam's point after makes it 8:32 21 games three minutes 45 seconds left in the third quarter [Music] all right Ernie thank you Bill Parcells picking up that victory in Tempe Arizona along the ground to be fielded now by Brooks and bring it out to the 35 yard line and you wonder now if alum has some lady problems or what I don't understand that kick he's in that twice now and Green Bay has converted it to very good field position when we come back I think the big question right now is the Packers will they go back and play with a flare or stay conservative [Music] well it's been a fast start by the Packers and now a tremendous comeback here by Denver they trailed half time 32 7 14 unanswered points in the third and one of the reasons this guy Shannon Sharpe he now has five catches his brother was 6 in their battle to win the catching Derby this year now will the Packers get Sterling Sharpe involved again he's been very quiet they've had thus far in the second half sixth place from [Applause] and there's the answer and almost picked off that was before Tyrone Braxton he was just waiting what I mean that was the one we said early the ball game that Tyrone Braxton was going to bait Brett Favre and make him believe make far believe that Sharpe was going to be wide open and then as soon as he went into delivery he was going to drive on it and intercept the ball well he did everything but catch it so the Packers now looking for something to get them going again Favre this quarter this half is old for three and has one interception Gary I think once a team goes into a shell and gets conserved it's very hard to get back to that swashbuckling kind of style that got to the big lead it's hard for teams to turn it back on are they going to have to do it as far who waits it out of here sets the gatos having such a big first half three for 117 and he tightrope walked that far sideline and got quite a bit of yardage now what are they gonna market he was out of bounds back at the 37 he did go out of bounds there well Shannon and Sterling had their mother and Mary here does she do that Hootie hooting a road for a circumstance like this ty I guess these two guys were a lot of fun they were going after each other hot and heavy weren't they talk to each other every day they said really about fun about football starving [Applause] it's bird night [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Shirley schuk kind of break tackles what he does so well he's so strong but they stopped him short it'll bring up a fourth down this this game is completely changed Denver defense has done their job again and now we have a nine point game and a very confident Denver offense which except for a fake punt is going to get the ball here in a moment Wagner to punt to Milburn remember now Kansas City winning today Denver needs to win to keep pace to stay in a tie for first in the AFC West beautiful time see if it stays in not too and that will be a touchback bringing it out to the 20 that ends up being a 56 yarder but they lose 20 on the net so for Pat Hayden I'm Gary bender we have two minutes 21 seconds left in the third quarter it's been a game of hands as the Packers jumped out on top they had a 17 to nothing lead after one quarter 32 7 and a half and now have a 9 point lead 32 21 the momentum has switched in John Elway who's so good at catch-up football now we'll start this drive from the 20-yard line before the sellout crowd and destroy Lambeau Field [Applause] our side and Vance Johnson again he's just wearing the Packers out 11 yard play you know Vance Johnson you have to feel that he's just trying to set some guys up now he the Packers are playing his own defense so it's hard to beat a deep advance Johnson has run that little square out a good four times tonight for receptions you know in the first quarter path the Packers had the ball what 12 minutes and for 50 seconds their defense has been on the entire third quarter and they're rushing the passer Oh [Applause] - Bernstein Bernstein they're hitting up the scene now as Johnny Holland made the stop there boy this is methodical and very effective right now by Denver this is this new high percentage passes that they're throwing and shannon sharpe here can not only pitch the ball but it'll clear out a little bit of a zone therefore Bernstein behind him so you know if you take away Shannon Sharpe there's big old rod Bernstein behind you to catch the ball then at 36 left in this quarter [Applause] [Music] they brought to blitz but they didn't block number 92 you better block number 92 or some things like that ability to have the Reggie White doesn't have to make a bunch of sacks to have an impact on a game I mean if you double them somebody else is going to make a sack here they have a blitz he comes clean because the offensive lineman picked up the Blitz men and Reggie White gets a help from his teammate but he's had a nice evening tonight third down and six yards to go we'll loss back inside the 35 [Applause] Dean by Vance Johnson he looked like he bobbled the ball for a stride concentration he latches on to a security not the yard completion what were we just talking about we're talking about Vance Johnson running those those little out routes first Reggie Reggie white puts a little pressure on the hit on John Elway but this is a game of setup Vance Johnson makes a wonderful catch here but that was set up Gary boy those four little out routes never he had run and then he blows right by Oliver to make the catch how's this for some numbers long Tech is 139 yards for Vance over 300 yards passing for Elwes playing course of his career these people lost and that's going to be Matt Brock the big strong man who started the last three years at left defensive end and moved over to the other side and when they acquired Reggie White you know John Elway now has spent five straight games were ya boy five straight games where he's had over 20 completions first time he's ever done that three hundred and forty hours his 21st career 300 yard game and he's not done yet we still have a quarter to go [Music] 32:21 and John Elway has been such an outstanding catch up quarterback 31 times he's come from behind in the fourth quarter that's an NFL record and down by nine he has to score twice as we have 15 minutes to go and there's the graphic and he didn't win all of them he tied one yeah but if you're a Green Bay Fan flip it over I mean Green Bay has got to come out of the shell and get something production going into passing game we come back tucking in 13 [Applause] by the time Pino makes the catch sample forward is a 15 a little low he caught it off his shoe tops the nice job getting a gain of 5 yards on the play and L was upset with himself there Gary because of Del Pino doesn't have to adjust for that ball he picks up the first down easily because he's got some momentum he's going forward there's nobody in front of him but he had to slow down to catch it backers making some changes up front low confusion in that defensive line this was going on away from the ya gotta go 15 rounds Derry pretzel at Terrell Buckley [Applause] [Music] you know I thought the books coming Gary I thought it was going to be late Russell still going after the flyweight division over there I thought the books was going to get there too late but I take it Leroy Butler did a wonderful job of getting the paws up getting his paws up and knocking it down now they're trying to sort it out on the far side I don't think there's a flag over there is there I think they're just milling around trying to sort it out I do not see a yellow flag he may have picked it up there he's got it in his hand yeah well that was setup as you mentioned the previous play kind of got those fisticuffs or whatever you want to call him let's listen to Larry Nemours okay it'll be a fourth and nine before this penalty [Applause] we have a personal foul for unnecessary roughness number 85 after the pass was incomplete we're going to go 15 yards from the previous spot Wow still fourth down that really changes your field goal huh sure does now Derrick Russell had started that two previous play Wow let's go back to the previous play before the the penalty watch the inside blitz by number 36 now Butler is too strong safety he's got a linebacker that kind of a late start but tied to jump perfectly and save the play and it was down the field the personal foul on Derrick Russell this will be a 47 yard attempt by Jason Elam now he's hit 1 from 54 get in here not enough distance he got it so they needed to scores and they got one of them and they continue to climb closer trailing 32 seven and a half and now this team from the Mile High Stadium has cut it to six points well can john elway do it again as you know he has 20-something come-from-behind wins in the fourth quarter for the Denver Broncos and he's got a chance here to do it again by the way after the ballgame Pat's willing of the Detroit Lions and Kevin Kelley and I be here on the stadium show we'll be talking to the stars of the game probably John Elway among others so we hope you'll join us right after this one for the stadium show back to you fellas okay Bob thank you very much as Elam now after that 47-yard field goal gets into this one to be taken by Darryl Thompson returned a 42 yards last week against Dallas on the kickoff brings it out to the 22 so now Brett Favre somehow has to get this offense going again it's been totally dormant in the second think about it though when they've been success and what have they done they've thrown the ball the starting sharp to start a drive and then what Denver has responded then they've gotten the ball to Jackie Harris so if you try to you know get something going you baby start with those two receivers they come out this time with Thompson and Bennett sharp oh come on Rosie [Applause] and that's the way to begin and there will be a catch out to the 23 yard line and maybe that'll get them started now as he picks up five on the play yeah get right now Green Bay is looking for anything to get some momentum back you know that that starts it here and just take about a first down right now think about the next play get to five yards you need for the first down and then then you mean you have something to build on second down let's make it officially four yards to go [Applause] our begin again goes back to shop going to the big boy and he gets the first down he is so good running with a ball after the catch a 16-yard gain so go back to the guy that started the fireworks way back in the first quarter you know it you know in Braxton was playing way off and against maybe trying to Brett to bait far but that was a fake I mean I think he thought he was going deep talking about Braxton but he is extremely tough to for a defensive back to tackle by himself Stern a sharp nine catches 65 yards as iam Blackston continued their confrontation that is the initial first down of the town for the back good effort by Bennett bouncing off the people staying on his feet getting to the 49 yard line that's five hard-earned yards I think you heard the hit and I believe it was Steve Atwater which is no great surprise when that water and Smith those safeties for Denver hichy you get a feel it I mean this is still the Denver Broncos are still a defense dominated by safeties there's their free and strong safeties and they try to funnel everything inside to those two guys clayton comes foot to the near side sharp to the top of the field fire slipping and sliding he comes running out of there to the 40 to the 30 [Applause] [Music] my breath let's find out if it's gonna hold because of the flag that was drawn early he looks like a guy who loves you know that loves to play the game then he he had a little little boo-boo yeah a little shake it baby over there one there oh they're bringing it back yeah 39-yard and running for naught I like the flare Bret Fargo illegal formation for 68 was lined up in the backfield five yards repeat second dad is Joe Sims here's the you know he plays every play like it's for the high school championship here here it is doesn't make too many guys out especially that one no you got waters to just get out for that kills you you got a guy lined up wrong Joe Sims who's starting he's been hurt he got hurt in the preseason so Trudy Robbins have been the starter that tackle man Robbins desert so Sims is back in and that is a costly costly penalty 39 yard gain is wiped off the board instead they're now back inside their own 45 but found a second down ten yards to go Green Bay has been a good screen team this year but not tonight [Music] [Applause] Mastan comes to motion bar change or net with a Bic intercepts you know they always talked about and get these hands up deflecting the ball he seems to have an instinctive way of doing it well he got more in deflection he got an interception yeah dro net in his second year has made a couple of big plays remember on the interception to Crowell he read it and he held on Edgar Bennett this time he makes the interception all to himself who son little stunt actually he saw the the quick pass going to Bennett and he makes a nice move for 275 pound guy and he gives you his little friend Favre boom yeah fire buddy almost like whipped people on their second-round draft pick out of Texas a year ago hard to get that back once you go conservative on offense again the 37 first down play-action price for coming [Applause] to be broken up an intended receivers Derrick rustling give Leroy Bennett a real pat on the back there he had a collision and was light with Russell on the play all the way yeah well railroads are saying about Butler's that we put in our defensive game plan together we're always looking for a way to get him involved 65 in the less part of the screen is Zimmerman who blocks Brock trips Brock that allows Elway to step up with a wonderful play there by new boy but Butler the strong st. railroad said he's football caliber example sonken down 10 [Applause] the Blitz run with it to the far side gets it off to Shannon Sharpe and Chuck will be stopped inside the 30 about a yard short of the first down you know we said at the beginning the the broadcast the Broncos who were going to shofar the Blitz early and try to confuse it but when you show the Blitz too early to John Elway as Green Bay did there I mean he's gonna hurt you he's gonna audible right there which he did to kind of a almost an option fly cuz the Blitz was shown too early by the Green Bay offense and now he finds himself in third and to look at this on there complacent 50 attempts Bhupati as Tiger Records already left in the game here is Milburn and never felt at that time by pharrell Buckley and that may have stopped the first down run again it's going to bring up a fourth down he stopped him I believe he did short of the first down Gary I'm not sure you run Glenn Milburn on a critical third and - you know he's a very effective guy but at 177 pounds he's not a good inside tackle to tackle runner and then his strength is out of you not in the short yardage one there we go on for the season on 4 or a penalty flag Buckley and Vance Johnson were tangled up it's either going to be a green base football or the penalty goes against him the Broncos could keep this drive going it is against the Packers that's against Buckley 20th the penalty of the game tonight top of the screen there d Buckley Buckley's 27 holding defense on the cornerback five yards automatic are you sure about that [Music] [Applause] well that's a big play path that was fourth down they have the ball now it's first down to the 20 to 10 16 August little confused why Denver didn't attempt to steal goal Gary they're down 2:24 1016 [Applause] completion to Vance Johnson and Johnson is very close to the first down inside the 15-yard line he's in double figures catch wise tonight this game was turned around by the interception in the second half by Mike crow who ran it in for a touchdown a second interception right now that was made just a moment ago by Shane Trinette may give give her the chance to go on top here for the first time well does the defense was much maligned it was 28th in the NFL coming in here against passing but it's done the job and we're gonna measure to see if they got the first down you know the other thing to give Charlie water some credit talking about Denver's defense and you know it's the second hand they've gotten away from Karl Mecklenburg on Jackie Harris those are the big plays that hurt him in the first half but they have made the adjustments he's not heard a big time in the second half well they're short of the first down second down West new yard to go [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he's got the first down you can hear the pop all the way up here forward progress to the 10-yard line it'll be first and goal Mohammad Oliver who's over there again and Russell is shaken up on the play I don't blame my money you could hear the pop up here that's what the coaches were saying about Derek Russell he is so tough he goes after people and they feel they're gonna hear a lot about him in the years ahead and he will be one of the quality players in the NFL well you know every team every offensive team needs guys who can take short passes and go the distance and he's got he's got that kind of speed I think he was just cramping up it looks like again but [Applause] took a thunderous hit [Applause] Oliver and Butler Gotti man Russell will go out it is a first but they can get a first and gold about the six-inch line they're just outside the 10 I think it's like a 5 inch line they're 5 heads okay I'll give you the hectare always after there it is you know I think it's through just like you changing your story again okay now the Denver defense did their job right now it's time for Green Bay's defense they're still leading by six points play like a leader right now force that turnover fumble [Applause] [Music] completion Shannon's got good defense that time by George Teague Teague has been equal to his starting test tonight he has quitted himself very well he's gonna start a lot of games in the national football it wasn't intimidated felt like he should be playing and starting he's played well tonight special teams and on defense from the national champions the Crimson Tide of Alabama they gained very little maybe a half yard on the play second down again Denver down by six 852 to go with a Bronco so they'll have surah meaning tops o'clock with 850 as this comeback by the Broncos has come from a long ways they were down 32 seven and a half and now have cut it to 32 24 and Elway one of his patented come-from-behind efforts and we'll be back to see if he can complete it [Music] [Applause] rats okay special night Thursday 7:30 Eastern on TNT we come back after the timeout for the Broncos they have second down virtually ten yards to go the Blitz is coming can complete Egon and Marshall and fighting on the near side there's no flag it will bring up a third down you know I think Elway may have rushed himself there you felt the Blitz but he got very good protection we had a chance to hang on and wait maybe for his receiver to break open right at the last moment just some Commission commute a miscommunication now watch the Blitz you're gonna see some guys coming everybody knows it's coming and they pick it up Bill Byrne takes up his guy Mike Pryor came through there down nine yards to go - space Belgium too-tall and tender for Derrick Russell would come back into the ball game after suffering a muscle cramp so now fourth-down know they've gotten before yeah it mates it if it went for fourth and 16 once and they went on a fourth and two but now they're going for the field goal if a sixth built it's a six-point game right now so it's still plenty of time with 839 remaining when outweighs then there's a lot of time it is and so Elam will come in and attempt the field goal 28 yard attempt [Applause] mommy Maddox the backup quarterback to holder and the kick by Gila miss up there's a flag on the play the kick is good but let's see if it stays now they're gonna have to kick it again he 10-yard penalty and so that will make it a 38 yard attempt offense number 94 holding ten yards repeat fourth down that was a Jeff Robinson he's a rookie out of Idaho there he is he's the guy that does the snapping and also plays defensive in that's 12 penalties against the Broncos for 107 yards how do you keep track of all the star I tell you Roger Roger a statistician is razor sharp 36 yard attempt thought this was gonna go get this up this time an alum is able to get it again and no flag and we have a three-point game 831 left in the fourth quarter and the Broncos continue to inch a lot closer you know there's one thing to most sporting events have in common when you see this are the players wearing a Russell Athletic NFL proline Jersey huh hey Joe Russell athletic is also the official uniform supplier of Major League Baseball they even have in most major college and high school teams it even makes rate switching keys for the rest of us unfortunately not everybody's gotten to work that's all that's left it's everything right let makes our sweats been t so great [Music] the key state and a cheesehead here in the Lambeau Field area as the Packers who had led 32 seven now lead 30 to 27 now what personal where do you get those Gary you you lived in this state for a while and is that cheddar or sharp or what what kind of cheese is I think that's probably Swiss is it yeah I think that's Swiss cheese I know your family would love to have one you to put on the plate take it back to Los Angeles I'd be big thanks it's a nice hat do you love kicking off have they returned by Thompson one day and that's as far as it goes right there so Brett Farve still trying to get this offense going it's been one half of outstanding offense and just absolutely nothing in the second half look at this graphic six possessions three touchdowns three field goals in the first half four possessions two interceptions two punts in the second well you told me to look at it then you read it I didn't know if you could read here's another one Green Bay only has 36 total yards this happened remember how they got that 30 point lead they were aggressive on offense they played terrific special teams that were throwing the ball around a starting sharp and Jackie Harris ran the ball with some efficiency the Denver's defense has really put a fun on them this half Thompson will remain to the kickoff return sterling sharpen motion [Applause] still in shock sermon shot gets to about the 24 yard line a gain of four kind of a little mix-up on that exchange yeah I think sharp thought he was gonna go outside and Brett Farve Favre was trying to hand it off inside and you know the Navy day but thinking about those cheese hats to those cheese heads but you know that can be just enough time where you can't get that plate of apps and sherm lewis the offensive coordinator Ray Rhodes the defensive coordinator next to him the brain trust from up above here in Lambeau Field as we have now second and six minutes and Thompson in the backfield [Applause] complete the hair in a while number 80s had a football after that brilliant first half and that'll be a first down mecklenburg made the stop of ten yard gain so this guy who had been so effect he finally involved again yeah that same matchup matchup Harris against Mecklenburg seats still no one's jamming him no one is is harass hit him at the line of scrimmage it's just too easy for him to get off the line of scrimmage you make a play but Green Bay is did two things the last two players one to sharp and one to Harris those are the two guys that helped him get that 30 point lead first catch in the second half for Harris he has 5 for 127 first down Bennett a couple of yards they pulled a guard Harry Galbraith and Steve Atwater then came up and made the stop gonna be a pickup up a couple of yards on the play second down coming up I'm just always amazed when you watch out water and Smith how fast they get to the line of scrimmage you know and they aren't they don't seem to get beaten on play-action passes either Gary you say usually you say hey the guy gets up there that fast let's go over the top on him but Atwater can stick his nose up there but he's very rarely fooled on play-action third straight Pro Bowl for the former Arkansas standout second and eight [Applause] surely shut that plates the tackle the effort lunges forward he appears to be short of the first down he started in duck back out and made the catch and just wouldn't give up he's going to be short of the first down by about a yard they a hustling Tyrone Braxton number 34 watch he's going to get some traffic here that he hustles back and makes to play we've talked about how smart Tyrone Braxton is but he's a guy that gives you everything every play and he's the one who made the tackle there on sterling sharp boys sharpen Braxton have really been they've had a bad heads haven't they third down er to go [Applause] he needed to get just about to the 45-yard line and there's a lot of congestion on that place see where they marked this with a three-point lead you might have a fourth down with five thirty left in the game that was great Craig in the nose tackle loose stuff that way and it's going to be a fourth down they double-fist indicating that and we're gonna have a timeout called by all the gonna measure and Gary remember we said at the very beginning of this broadcast to three new offensive linemen playing new positions for Green Bay tonight and that's where you need the continuity you need your regulars the most I think on short yardage and goal line place so they've requested the measurement and that gives Holmgren a chance to get his troops ready for what could be the fourth down okay with a three point lead against John Elway is just not enough in the fourth quarter you can see how far they missed they actually didn't get a thing on that play up in the house not an inch so Wagner will come in and punt the ball away now Denver has two timeouts left as Wagner stands inside the 30-yard line Dilbert is back to receive the punt [Applause] Frank winters who used to snap for the Giants and the cheats will snap this lips by flirting with 5:18 flagger not exceptionally high no burns got a running return for the 25 and they lift a guy from stands with as short as a 30 and tackle there and that will give us an opportunity to take a look at the action throughout the day here in the National Football League on the Coors Light scoreboard as the Chiefs had their hands full of anak Lowry field goal was the difference Craig playing in place of the injured Joe Montana Steelers of the victory over the Chargers and the Raiders Vince Evans what is he 38 years old in quarterback Bidwell yep and Moreno scary injury to his Achilles tendon and infin was also hurt in that ball game and Bill Parcells of his first win in New England first down 10 way to Bernstein Bernstein running over people and gets a first down of the 42 he was dealing some punishment on that place yeah Mike Pryor number 45 the safety for the Packers just got a mouthful of rod Bernstein right there he ran right over and again you're down by three points you don't want to have to rely on John Elway for everything so you give the ball to Bernstein you let it run over the free safety and get your first down first down at the 41 435 Lutz in the game away and that's trouble if you're handed jam and sharp can't hang on to that one that will stop the clock with 4:30 remaining the two sharps have come in in this head-to-head family feud and they've really played well both of them yeah they really have the thing that makes Shannon Sharpe a little bit unique to see what they've done the 10 receptions by Sterling and 7 by Shannon but Shannon Shannon is a heck of a block or two Gary I mean they use him as an h-back now the carts the center of the Denver is going off right now and they got the backup center in it's going to be John Melander who they picked up this year from Cincinnati [Applause] Dave Wydell coming in at center appears to have the first down he took off he made up his mind in a hurry that'll be a 12-yard game first down to the 47 yard line still 4:14 remaining in this ball game plenty of time but Jason Elam the kicker needs to get to about the 37 yard line Elway again still can beat you with his legs even though it's his 11th year you know exactly what the first down marker was and I am the shotgun you see the time remaining [Music] 32:27 Bernstein gets it and is able to advance it that could have been a disaster and I don't know what happened on that play the Blitz was what was causing all the havoc and all of a sudden the ball kind of spurred it out of there remember you have a new center in now know why Dell is in centering instead of carts now that ball looked like he tried on the long standing caught his rear end and hit his home he hit his own period with the fan there it is you got to get that rear end out of the way totally so much imagine what his teammates will have to say about that one second down Tim here's that way he comes back to the ball almost got it on the deflection Amidala bird was defending on a play you know I think that looked like an under thrown ball but I think that was intentionally under thrown hoping that Vance Johnson would either make the play over Oliver or he get past interference Johnson's going to get a breather now Kimbo comes in Tony Campbell the lucky from Jackson State will requite they're down she's a 57th of 10 it's a club-record and this is what Reggie White you have to take care of Reggie White [Applause] [Music] for a moment Buckley was there also Pryor was there and it's a fourth down there's Kimbrel who they talk about can really really run and that time he just could not get there and he's still down on the big plays you still have to first account for Reggie White Gary in they double-team him first with Freeman number 68 the tackle but Freeman knows he's going to get some help but you just got to jump over you and then he's got the little guy 177 pound Millward coming after him but lways allowed it is still able to get it off and then he had Tony Kimbro open for just a moment put quite hang on to it let him frats a little too much and Mike Pryor was there to knock the ball away and a rather make camp now in the stands as the Packers have a fourth down facing them Kimbrough shaken up going off the field I'd say Reggie White has played every snap as hard as you can play this football game that's all you can ask and by him doing so Gary the rest of the team when they see a guy like Reggie White jumping over people and knocking people back they play better I mean only one sack tonight but that doesn't tell the story of Reggie White's influence on the defense so on fourth down they're gonna go for it Gary I don't understand there's 3:13 remaining I say cook the ball I understand why they're going through on fourth down here they're all four two on fourth downs the last fourth down remember the Packers penalty gave him the first down the Blitz coming from Butler they able to pick him up a flag on the play up the field catch is made by Vance Johnson but as we mentioned there is a flag at the line of scrimmage and again Elway stepping up firing a strike and the Packers are indicating that's against Denver both start prior to the snap on the right back Oh five yards that'd be Russell Freeman the right tackle number 68 it was the left tackle a year ago as a free agent rookie 13th penalty of the game against Denver you get Reggie White you're concerned about you get a little bit nervous a little bit edgy and you move a little early I'll tell you when that ball rush it will get you a little edgy would time after time you've got 92 on your face now ruin to punt the football they have two men back this time they're gonna send fire and buckley back 305 let's in the game 32:27 Green Bay we led at one time 32 7 [Applause] ruin hits it knows hi Buckley calling for the fair catch we're out of town so we're gonna mark the ball at the 16 yard line Packers will have it there they have two timeouts remaining and coming up after this game tonight Bob Neil Kevin Kiley Detroit Lions linebacker Pat swimming on the holiday yet stadium show they hope to have the Sharps as they will debrief us on yeah went on in this game Shannon and sterling man if there's talkative as they were last night it'll be on the long show right now sterling it is saying to his guys let's get a first down or two and Gary this is where you you wish your running game could really control the clock get a first down or two and win the game for you but the Packers don't have that kind of running game so a 258 remain there's plenty of time this game is long from over Jackie Harris we're going [Applause] by Bennett Bennett looks a couple of yards and that's all and we have a stoppage of the clock we're gonna have a timeout call by Denver so they'll have one remaining with 252 left in the game just to underscore my point Green Bay only has 14 rushing yards this half Gary and again a makeshift offensive line three new offensive lineman well they had 36 last week coming up after this game even more football Burt Reynolds and Kris Kristofferson star in semi I tell ya a movie about two professional football players who fall for the same woman oh that's a new theme yeah semi top might bobbles the holiday and stadium show here on TNT a little bit like my steak last night semi oh you didn't I yes so we have 252 left the Packers have a second down let's make it nine yards to go the Denver Broncos have used their second timeout Packers hanging on to a three point lead bouncing to the back be overcome in motion [Applause] barbar sati an attack clayman it'll be a third-down he didn't get much on that play Clayton was wrapped up very quickly that time by Emory Charles timrie for no bigger he is undersized as he is makes very good open field tackles and remember most of the night he has had more Clayton all by himself because everybody's been so concerned with sterling sharps so the fact that we haven't called Moore Clayton's name much tells you what kind of night dimmer his head that's his second catch so third down and still three yards to go I take Jackie Harris away for sure [Applause] but let's bolt Safety's coming suggesting on the ball and it's intercepted by Atwater Steve Atwater check that that is Li lo Lang who came up with it and the Blitz which have been giving fire so much trouble really gave him difficulty there Gary we said at the top of the broadcast the biggest question about red Favre was could he handle the Blitz he'd done it pretty well all night tonight but on one of the most critical downs on the game Steve Atwater showed the Blitz early runs through a little chip blocked by the center he and Dennis Smith both get there and set up the interception by Lee lo Lang and that is three turnovers in this half by Green Bay and we said what do you have to his take away Jackie Harris they did buy a blitz and buy a terrific interception by Lee lo Lang Lang adjusted quicker than Harris did he got the interception first down [Music] [Applause] and dr. Bernstein Bernstein wrapped up now remember Denver has only one timeout remaining as we have the two-minute warning two minutes to go a three-point game here Lambeau Field the site of an outstanding effort here by poll team [Music] well Willie ocean in there who speaks six languages I don't know which he's using there as he's falling along on the music but you know the Packers of loss two very tough games the last play of the game by total of five points and now they find themselves as you see the losses to the Eagles and Vikings hanging on here with two minutes to go [Applause] and in chef took me hang on at the 35 stops the clock with 156 again we set it for you the Broncos have one timeout remaining they're down by three one minute 56 seconds left in the game and they're still thinking about winning this but we need to get the ball to about the 37 38 yard line to give him a chance to attire the ball game fifty-four [Applause] as you're coming into the sack to number 92 Reggie White has been raising lettuce is there they you have to double teaming we said it on the critical downs for the most part they've done that but now it's a big wide split by white against Bremen and white on the single team has won that battle all night long it's only when they've had a double team as Reggie white can stuff his second sack of the night down 19 yards to go [Applause] Reggie wife well they paid him a lot of money and he's earned his money in the last two plays yeah you know why they're all the money they paid him it wasn't looking like the Louisiana Purchase wasn't but he's been he's earned his money tonight he has played remarkably well and not just on the sax but in the critical moments you know you have to TT Lagaan I graduate or he can change the nature of the game and he did exactly that so now at the 35 the Packers knowing that the Broncos have only one timeout remaining go to Annie and this crowd is a static and well way saying get a timeout to you guys you let too much time get away from you and he hasn't given up this guy clearly has not given up he just wants one more chance and there's a chant of Reggie starting throughout Lambeau Field [Applause] [Music] well he's been disappointed he lost his former teammates the Eagles they lost that unbelievable game to the Vikings really got their head handed to him last week by Dallas you know and here tonight Reggie White believed they could win it he said we gotta learn how to win and he showed him how you're right Gary and you know the Packers are still a year or two away from really contending I think in this league but we have a young team a very young team and with guys like that you mix in some veterans that can teach guys how to win in close games as he did tonight and you have a young quarterback Favre they can develop for you have a chance at a couple years LeBron goes can't stop the clock fate has used their last timeout and the Packers will end a three-game losing streak and really with this victory stay right in the chase because the leaders in this division are three and two and four three-way tie for first in the NFC Central and they'll go to two and three Denver on the other hand had a chance to move into a tie for first place with Kansas City in the AFC West of course they kept Kansas City a Mile High Stadium later and ooh we expect to see Reggie with Kevin and Bob on the Holiday Inn postgame show and then we have a flag that will stop everything with 36 seconds well it's not an easy way to win it you can have 32 7 lead and you don't get a first down to the point 45 yards still third down but you had enough cushion just barely I guess that mean it was an interesting game from that perspective and you know Green Bay has some great players including net man on defense sterling sharp on offense I'll repeat the story he came into the coaches this week and said you know I still believe I made the right decision coming here and they needed to hear that because if he started doubting then what happens to the rest of the football team we talked earlier how he could lift a team linebackers were better defensive backs are better other defensive linemen are better because of his presence and Elway tonight as they'll take another snap was 33 of 59 367 yards a touchdown interception still wasn't enough but they dug themselves a big hole and despite his brilliance could not get him out of it as they trailed 17 to nothing after the first quarter 32 7 at the halfway point and got as close as three points only at the very end to see this guy Reggie why come up with back-to-back sacks and my cold room now is 11 and 10 career-wise and a very big win for his conquer team and Denver the youngest team in the NFL whole field for the first time ever they go away without a victory this timber football team can be awfully tough the rest of the way 32:27 Green Bay Shannon Sharpe and Sterling Sharpe will be coming up later and we'll be back in just a moment [Music] and at a theater near you [Music] the Green Bay Packers defend their home turf here in the second quarter goes to Jacky Harris the tight end five catches in a touchdown on the day Brett Favre yards and the Packers held on despite three interceptions one reason they were able to hold on is this man only a second a half all season coming into the game the 17 billion dollar man Reggie White three sacks [Music] in this game tonight Lambeau Field and the Packers
