2001 - WK 8 - DEN @ OAK [FULL GAME]

these kind of games are like play out Monday night a division rivalry it doesn't get any better they've got more of a team for this type of game you've got strong players in their team no fury like a coach score has it all the right players and made all the right moves when it's done beating his former team the Broncos have won 11 of their last 12 the Raiders including the last seven straight it's a little special for me one against the Raiders to be in there knowing their organization trust for the playoffs to do some special gotta make sure detours but these are the raiders of a new generation for the AFC's best record and emerging as its preeminent team tonight they're the raiders of revenge disdainful of recent history hell hath no fury like an irate reader i interested in what's happened in the past i've heard about it enough in asleep all the waiters are pretty special but this one i think is just a little more special what's done is done you will feel the intensity in the air a good group of players and we're gonna go after victory tonight this mountain it's ready and ready to explode on right Broncos vs Ravens I'm Al Michaels welcome to Oakland the last time we saw the Denver Broncos it was opening night September 10th that looked great to beat the Giants then the Vieira's over the next week but since then they have three out of five so they come into the mark of four wins three losses huge game if there's one word to describe Denver this season that has been being consistent the Raiders meanwhile have been very consistent after they won the AFC West last season they played the AFC championship game here against Baltimore they were favored but they were upended up said Andre the Super Bowl now this year they are five and one that one was a last-second loss to Jay Fiedler and Miami Oakland is that close to being unbeaten but tonight Dan Fouts Denver gets a cute guy back it's the first time Terrell Davis will play since September 10th and the Broncos are going to need Terrell Davis tonight because John Gruden's Raiders are the most diverse offense in the NFL and enriched Canon they have the original take what the defense gives you quarterback he'll pass the ball tonight to 10 different receivers they'll hand it off to five different runners and in just in case he may even take off and run for the first down himself Rich Gannon gives the Raiders stability at quarterback something they always had in their championship years when they had guys like Kenny Stabler and Jim Plunkett you remember them don't you I certainly do you bet 1 1 they should be as Denver a straight over Oakland back in Oakland Tara Christian is already in the Hall of Fame some day Tim Brown will be enshrined and here's Eric quick Tim Tim Tim when you got seven straight time they seem to have you a number what you guys talk about this week well you know in this game you got to have a short memory man so we're not worried about that own thing you concerned about the poor game winning streak we on we're gonna come out tonight play big game and we think we're the best team if we start moving in now we're not thinking rate of football I think of long passes down the field we haven't seen a lot this year what we see something tonight that covers even I'll be going deep all right back to Tim thank you guys all right thank you Eric Jason Elam will be kicking off in his ninth year the alum co-holder were Tom Dempsey of the record for the longest field goal in the history of the National Football League 63 yards and with David Dunn of hurt Terry Kirby who was activated last week saw a lot of action in the Philadelphia game will run back the kickoff for Oakland crowd is rockin beautiful night we go from the East Bay with the flash bulbs popping and curvy fielding the pic at the six yard line looking for room comes back out to the 25 Oakland sets up shop right there after the tackle by Eric Davis here's the Raider offense Rich Gannon University of Delaware Charlie garner University of Tennessee genre chief Stanford Jerry Rice mr. Valley State University Tim Brown University of Notre Dame Rowan Williams Syracuse University Barry Simms University of Utah Steve was new skete Penn State University not I'm true University of Nebraska prime Milton University I was wrong Lincoln Kennedy University of Washington you saw Steve Wisniewski key man along the offensive front left guard 13th year out of Penn State and he's going to wrap it up at the end of this season this is his swan song first play of the game of fans to John Ritchie for a gain of a couple let's take a look at the Denver defense Keith Washington the University of Nevada Las Vegas Chester McLaughlin Clemson trevor fries Clemson University vivica Pitman Magne State University John Mobley Kutztown University al Wilson University of Tennessee bill Romanowski Boston College Dell Bonilla California bears Denard Walker LSU snow acuity University of Arkansas Eric Brown Mississippi State and on second down and eight it is getting throwing in the traffic and teaming it into two up at the 37 yard line enough for a first down not only is Rich Gannon a gunslinger the way with this throwing motion but he has the guts of a gunslinger to watch the little area that he gets his ball into right behind the linebacker al Wilson who is looking for Tim Brown and that's the veteran Brown moving around the linebacker giving his quarterback a target Gannon has not had a pass intercepted since opening day he had his fourth pass of the season thick and he sold a hundred eighty two without one six and this one is tipped and him intended for temp around not as many touchdown passes al but like you said they're controlling the ball on offense Shannon told us that's the big change he's noticed under Gruden they don't lose games on offense anymore and he really deals the ball around 13 different receivers for Gannon this year that he's completed passes to he discriminates against Noah just in case you were looking real carefully they a to somehow sneaked into that graphic he's done six touchdowns good one 26 second down and 10 at the 37 yard line Charlie garner he takes it up to the 42 yard line it'll be third down and five upcoming as Bertrand buries into the tackle yeah that was interesting and talking to Gruden with Tyrone wheely out with a bad knee he said we're gonna get everything we possibly can out of Charlie garner but remember he's 187 pounder he's an every down back but he will get tired he plays so hard he gets winded at times but the Raiders have a luxury of backs with Randy Jordan Terry Kirby at Zack Crockett there is Kirby activated last week corner of course spent the last two seasons in San Francisco now they had and it's a laughs great catch off his fingertips by Brown well this alliance of brown rice and Ganon is almost unholy and their knowledge and expertise and experience and going against the very inexperienced corner in delft O'Neill right at the bottom of the screen just a little push off Ganon throwing the ball in the only spot that Brown could possibly catch this ball because O'Neill is all over him Brown reaches out for the first down doubt the Defensive Player of the Month in October for the lay six interceptions including fires to the outside not have possession of it Romanowski for a personal foul [Applause] plant comes in at the end of the play Romanowski playing in his 33rd Monday night game and you'll hear his number called by the referee Tony currently in a minute nobody in the league they like boo and more [Applause] Rubick whistle ooh than bill Romanowski is like gorgeous gorge man had a critical mistake announced key he should know better than this ball is incomplete and he takes two steps dives he drops his helmet right in the small of the back of Roland Williams that is the epitome of a cheap shot that's a big part in broman housekeys game especially when he gets fired up to play the Raiders wow that's like a message pitch was just a cheap shot [Applause] jewelry's trying to hold it in and turn around that was interesting at jogging Romanowski said that the Raiders have cleaned up their act this year they're not Capri aiding and committing mistakes turnovers penalties and the first chance he gets he creates a commits a really foolish mistake well he used to say that his barometer on how much the Raiders were going to talk on any given night was Wisniewski and under Gruden's tutelage was new skis shut his trap up and playin war he comes out on second intent as you see breaking the mark Hendriks consecutive game making the catch Charlie gets to the 27 Wilson's shoving up a third and four I know Wheatley's a behemoth but in some ways I'll bet you the Broncos are more glad to see or wish they were seeing him pink Carter garner has some hellacious moves where you just go for him and you whip on him he looked like he was a little too hyped up on that play because he had blockers in front he just slipped on the ground there's Tyrone Wheatley knee injury out may be back next week when Oakland plays at Reata third at the 27-yard line get away and and a first down in the 14 yard line brought by Brown is now caught three balls 233 yards that convicted 13 doubtfully giving them too much room there Danny well he did because they brought Brown in motion and O'Neal backed up he's playing about 10 yards off now O'Neal falls down that's three plays tonight we've seen players fall down again it's getting great pass protection but the reason Tim Brown is so wide open is because Delco Neal slipped on this turf slippy 22 feet below sea level this turn fish only seven passes and now watch number two is Charlie garner taking the ball of the 11 yard line for pickup of three you know laid that fact on me who's that Mr Al locust L just said revealed its twenty two feet below sea level here he would know well we got the mile-high team playing at below sea level it's an odd correction for them second and seven at the 11-yard line touchdown [Applause] Tim Brown again in motion to get off the bump and run of the Broncos working against Denard Walker number 27 and nobody can run a post any better than that Walker hesitated thinking he was going to the corner Brown set him up beautifully for the post route Janikowski for the point after [Applause] 2,900 Navan scored on Monday Night Football Brown catches for 444 total symmetry to that Oakland takes an immediate 7 to nothing lead against the Bronx and brown well Eric talked to him before the game presaging a tremendous first drive for him Romanowski with that personal foul that gave them a first down and Oakland cashes in as they went 75 yards of half minutes and that's she picks off fielded by Chris Cole and takes it from the three yard line and Cole breaks it all the way back out to the twenty nine we recycled by the linebacker treyvion Smith so we'll see greasy Davis and the Bronco office when we come back seven to nothing Raiders they might game now the Broncos now 7-zip of the outsets again for the Tennyson picking up five Terrell Davis back in the lineup tonight more on that here's Melissa story while as you mentioned he does get to start earlier this week Mike Shanahan met with all three running backs and told them that the job was open for competition each one practice with the first team and yesterday Shanahan met with him again told them his decision Davis would get the majority of the carries Mike Anderson is the number two guy he'll get six to ten cents that means a Landis Gary is the very surprising good play fake and then Patrick he makes the catch - there's a flag down tackled all the way back at the 21-yard line personal foul roughing the passer immediately signaled by Tony corrente and it's on William Thomas so both veteran linebackers Romanowski and William Thomas create fouls early in this game personal foul roughing the passer defense number 59 let's go [Applause] Griese had a nice play fake came out found his receiver then William Thomas that's really ticky tack I don't believe that that is rough and he did not hit him in the head he did not take two steps and there's hate down the side [Applause] it's opening night to row Davises we see the rest of the Denver office Brian Griese University of Michigan Road Davis University of Georgia packet hate University of Alabama Rod Smith Missouri Southern State College Eddie Kennison Louisiana State University Hawaiian cars world Liberty University and the offensive line a bunch of modern day Steve Carlton Steve Friedman Nayland Neal and Lexus their video only no audio they don't talk there is Terrell Davis behind a man left blocks ellipsis does his blocking to the donkey forum and Denver has a first down on a 13-yard game by TV now the one thing Gary Kubiak told me is that it was important for the office to attend the initial wave of the motion and noise in this crowd defensively they couldn't do it but offensively thanks to the penalty by William Thomas and his mine run by Terrell Davis the Broncos are in great shape and this crowd is having a tough time getting into it to Austin Davis who turns it up inside the 20 the way to the tan and me figures to be a first and goal depending on the forward progress maybe Kubiak's decision to come down out of the booth onto the field to do the play calling is paying dividends dan he certainly has a good idea what he wants to do watch the toss to place in a row now the Broncos have gone wide and really has paid off his drill Davis he looks fresh he looks quick he looks powerful first and goal just inside the 10 yard line [Applause] Davis looked like he might spring it for a second games the league requires every I think after two and a half seasons of being sting Tyrell it's just gonna roll the dice and see where his career takes him now there's no hedging bets next time he gets hurt badly you know he's already talked about retirement briefly a couple weeks ago very well it crossed his mind he had some leg pain they took an MRI on the leg found it there was nothing structurally wrong that eased his mind he had a good week of practice a good two weeks and he looks good tonight he tore his knee up in October of 99 and as you saw six teams played 29 missense second and goal the fate buying a ton of time for greasy trying to find an open man throws it behind Ron Smith the leaves leading receiver with 57 patches to open huh well he wanted Kennison in the back of the endzone and Charles Woodson was playing zone and just did an outstanding job of staying back and keeping greasy from taking Kennison for the touchdown and easy off on Smith watch Woodson right here he's just going to play so Kennison goes to the corner and that's where greasy want to throw the ball but by staying back bathro maybe they didn't see him these end zones are pretty dark Greece is going to take off and greasy with a plan down at the 7-yard line pitch to the three there's a penalty though she takes the tackle part of the snow Sonne loud that no player could hear the whistle who is that rod serling there was no play come on Miss OPLAN tell Brian Griese there wasn't a play he got drilled by about three Raiders at the two yard line and that right Chuckie you know DeGroot in one of the 50 most beautiful men ever to study under Michael and brilliant coaches in the NFL great young folks third from the 13-yard line Davis was flanked all the way to the left now he sits behind greasy now he makes the cost and all they can do is cover up so they had a trick play working [Applause] you've got Jason Elam coming in to attempt what will be about a 38 yard field goal which would give us 20,000 points this long give him a thousand for his career now Davis takes his eye off the ball and he also slipped a little bit high but I doubt they were going to get the ball into the end zone on that play 39 yards field goal attempt so they go from first and goal with three points would get Elin exactly a thousand and now said one day night football that's 20,000 points of entry in this package and Elam is the first pure kicker to get to a thousand points that quickly ladies and gentlemen that feel coal by Jason Elam accounts for the 20,000 points scored and the history of ABC's Monday Night Football the ball is being taken out of play and sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton Ohio where it will be sit on sunlit display congratulations to Jason Elam for scoring Monday Night Football 20,000 point for Jason the ball winds up in camp he watched the ball as his thousand point this is have to hold the cam open seven-member [Music] Jason Elam to kick-off terry kirby back to receive for the back specialist he's an active tonight [Applause] Kirby brings it back to the 22 yard line and here comes Ganon again who guided his team 75 yards to a touchdown on their opening drive 7/3 it's always Halloween even on November 5th Wow look the guy's dead and he's still flossing it he help it you gotta remember that they like to call it the black hole great isn't that very well at home recently they won their last eight regular-season games at home and most of them have been routes there are Browns numbers Tim with a great first drive culminated with a touchdown as they moved 75 yards on two runs and nine passes now from the 22 Gannon begins with his 10th and the catch is made out of the Williams to the 28 talked about Jim Brown first Drive let's take a look at it the first route is days right over the middle for a first down now a beast bans coverage by Delta Neil wide open because of a slip there then a sex book the 11-yard touchdown career number 88 for tim brown getting in the end zone yeah Canon's a feisty guy too you blow an assignment helped area no offense that a to here's garner on a sweep turns the corner puts his head down his shoulder anyway gets the first down before we tackle by Al Wilson when that play looked a lot better when it started with his new ski out in front and garner right behind it but the speed of the linebackers of Denver always have had great speed there al Wilson is no exception Wilson and garner both graduates University of Tennessee I think the volunteer and here you think they get paid anything worked for free against Notre Dame the other day and speaking of Notre Dame hey what else is doing shot of John Green we didn't first and ten at the 33-yard line the clear limits at the head of the Louisville the pass is incomplete attention for brown but locked in with the pressure on that time everybody talking about but nobody confirming anything and you wouldn't suspect that they would that if the Notre Dame job opens up there is your next coach in South Bend and of course Gruden is the son of a coach who was an assistant at one point in South Bend Davis of course has gluten under contract for one more year and John they just laughed it off at this point my sources tell me Gerry Faust second exam from the 32 you heard that in whispers I behold here is garner coming back to try to make the catch and he gets mugged by [Applause] this offense is so well designed they're always looking for mismatches to get a running back like Charlie garner on a strong saftey or a weak safety like Eric Brown is exactly what Gruden and Gannon wanted [Applause] defense number 26 but you call one of those wheel routes where the back comes out of the backfield makes the flat here's Garner they's going to turn it up just use his speed there that's illegal a legal hit there this is not never look back for the ball I like that little hand clap the ref did before he signaled first shows a bypass City most referees will not exist right these good Cary's look to the 49-yard line Crockett saw a lot of action last week in the game of Philadelphia when the Raiders have built up a sizable early lead and want them to run the clock down imagine getting 200 yards rushing against the Eagles without ty Wheatley and that's that's a pretty appreciable mindset fruit is instilled there no matter whose dig mo Collins Barret Robbins you know you don't have time we just get in there and there I say you buck it up in that one second out of nine those emotions and this action upfront and of course to the Broncos were pointing at the Raiders false start offense number 62 five-yard penalty so you know Adam true has replaced Barret Robbins who's lost for the season to injury reps getting a lot of face time the knife mean I think he's eligible for the after dental Fonte boa Broncos and Raiders their figure to be a few pools a lot of strapping going on my second at 14 ball at the 44 yard line under pressure escapes and that's a nice tackle is coming up and getting him his Romanowski the 46 yard line to make sure he didn't turn the corner every had broken out of a would-be tackle by Trevor price Ganon's got that 20/20 vision of a veteran quarterback sees trice price blowing right up the middle he's thinking escape price number 93 against Frank Middleton they're number 73 great power move by price but not enough strength to pull down the 35 year-old Gannon Dan and his seven of 11 comes up with split backs here on third down it's very rice lining up in the slide and third down and 12 and he stays in the block and the catch is made by Jerry Porter the wide receiver at the 39-yard line can you believe Jerry Rice is a blocker and Jerry Porter makes the catch I think they got their numbers mixed up first name was right but I think borders book the state of the block watch Jerry Porter on Jimmy Spencer here ball thrown up for grabs and at six two Porter comes down with it here's the thing though watch rice blocking to knowing Kennedy here and keeping away from the quarterback - alert it's our first obligatory mention of Chester McLaughlin offsides all right shelter I have they're gonna call it on Ganon [Applause] so the contending that Ganon by barking hunching his shoulders induced it let's see what gesture was looking at what draw drew him offsides watch the head again and that's enough that hit Bob right there that second Bob's like a balk in baseball right and they've called the one you were playing that [Applause] yes Lily if it's not obvious version 15 in the 43 yard line - is made in the flat Richie - the 39-yard line back to by John Mowgli you're saying the bobblehead doll could not start at quarterback boy look at John Ritchie's already got the Red Badge of Courage streaming down his face lead blocker for the Raiders at fullback and he looks like you gotta go sit in the stands with that face wow that's panty gun s commander we are in the black all the blood is flying [Applause] but get the gloves on second and ten out of the greasepaint formation [Applause] 25 years one backhoe vibe grew up in the Bay Area idolizing race 13-yard pickup now working on Jimmy Spencer the third for the Broncos 33 here again the Broncos are playing off too much tonight they're allowing the Raider receivers to come down the field and get into their routes without any disruption at all this is a timing offense you must throw off the timing by jamming their shoes that first out of the 26 years and and it is picked up and run back to the 38 yard line by kavika Pittman so the first turnover of the game stems the drive I think it was Trevor price who knocked it loose and Pittman takes it back to the 38 how's this for duck tailing a promo Tom Hanks is here tonight [Applause] it's burden tanks [Applause] take a look at the fumble a Trevor price is gonna split double team watch him right here Frank Milton and Lincoln Kennedy they come down but the power the staying through the maneuver to get inside Kennedy had a left hand out there knocked the ball loose from the 38-yard line first now for the Denver Broncos greasy well it was a play like that last year when he didn't throw it away against the Raiders in Denver when he hurt his shoulder so he obviously has learned the painful lesson but he there throw it away that was the night when greasy came out separated his shoulder came back and led the Broncos to a victory and that's the night but not that he didn't have the respect of his teammates but after that night he was the leader no question about it in spades and national television Davis to the left they sent Smith emotion here for and Smith has been doing that all season long taking the short mask and turning it into a big game he's finally tackled by Anthony Doerr said you know he's got running back skills he catches the ball like a wide receiver but he he knows that you don't want to spend any time with fancy moves and catch the ball turn upfield read your blocks pick up 1st down that one good 4:15 it also ends the first quarter good spirited opening period three Sunday night football back into the story BC say finish back in opener now Michaels Dan Fouts Dennis Miller Eric Dickerson malicious start Monday Night Football halfway through the season a quarter of the way through the game good first quarter Oakland had the ball for 10 minutes John Burton's team leading it 7 - 3 - now that Broncos begin on the plus side of the 50 at the open 47 first content and this is Davis and he gets tripped up as we take a look at the Oakland defense breaking up South University of California Rock Coleman East Carolina University Grady Jackson Knoxville College Tony Bryan Florida State University William Thomas Texas A&M University Greg Baker University of Colorado Troy VIIa Smith smoky lang University mr. Woodson to y'all you know to school Eric Allen Arizona State University Marquez Pope Fresno State if you dare say University of this bill Charles Woodson of course went to Ohio State second down and 10 into the well Jason Giambi the all-star first baseman for the Oakland A's one of the most will be one of the most coveted free agents on the market net Jason you went to Raiders practice on Thursday and apparently Jon Gruden begged you to stay in Oakland what happened yeah actually coach Gruden called me in front of the whole team and handed me a dollar to start the fund so he wants me to stay in oak and they're such big fans of ours they come up to a lot of games so we come out to support them Jason stay right here we're going to do this play we'll ask your question - trips left [Applause] Gracie looks light please first down Ron Smith back to Melissa well so one of the most dramatic world series in history what were your thoughts on the way it ended that was the most incredible world series I've ever seen that's the way it should have ended I thought got the Yankees are going to do it against Iran it goes deep and then all of a sudden fitting Luis Gonzales against Mariano Rivera and Arizona's champs incredible incredible world series like pretty tough for you to watch no actually I enjoyed every minute I've I mean I wish you'd have been there trust me playing the Diamondbacks but I enjoyed it thank you for the tremendous last two thirds of the season this is Davis Terrell Davis to the 27 yard line tackle by treyvion Smith the good thing for the Broncos defense RL Davis is having a very good first half Raiders with a control passing game their longest pass play all year long has been for just 38 yards longest run only 37 yards have been the Raiders lead the NFL in time of possession maybe Jason Giambi should take his brother Jeremy out to practice Gannon can show how to do that quarterback slide second and a deuce the fake well makes your second character to drive and instead of going out of he covers up the football and runs to the seven yard line what a play by Garza you kind of remember that Carswell is 260 pounds he broke a tackle from Greg be Curt earlier this play is a human pinball great job by greasing with the fake tapes right in his face soft toss to Carswell this is fun now boom there goes marques Pope the Pope hangs on this to help from his friends they go to their tight ends horror for usually launched Edmond three on opening night to the season pretty much looking like I don't want to see the old Terrell Davis but a better Terrell Davis a guy who has missed so much time since he suffered that injury in October of 1999 his 97 and 98 seasons back to back were as good as back-to-back seasons as as anybody including our man Derrick Walter Payton you name it Marshall Faulk has taken up the mantle in the interim two years since then and burn up similar numbers just amazing maybe not the rushing numbers but the total yards Davis his running style right and quick [Applause] offensive line second down and it's about halfway to the goal line just inside the three setting up a third down and goal Dan I'll flush that out for me why does it suit this perfectly well he's got great patience and it takes a lot of time for some of these blocks to develop the Broncos as everyone knows likes they like to go low and when they go low Davis has a knack for finding where that creases I like that last play because a lot of times a running back will bounce to the outside and try to run to the corner he didn't go he went the short way right up the field Denver's going to take a timeout to discuss his third and goal upcoming in Oakland he's in Brian Gracie has been phenomenal ten touchdowns no interceptions hasn't been sacked in 22 passes here he is deep in the red zone after a timeout third down and goal and the Raiders know that greasy likes to roll out but greasy has a lot of room to roll out to the right side which is good because he's right-handed and you really got to keep your eye on Rod Smith down here [Applause] Smith has six touchdown receptions issues [Applause] Griese comes this way it's incomplete I would shop well Eddie Kennison has not exactly filled the ED McCaffrey void so far this year has he yeah wouldn't have gotten into the end zone anyway but that play cool that's the key point here is working off the screen did not move down the field enough if he goes down the field he at least freezes Wilson Woodson's got a clean run at Kennison who bobbles the ball anyway Tom Rowan holds Jason Elam to attempt a 21-yard field goal and so the rain is holding to three after Trevor price created the fumble he also turned over Broncos moved down have it first and gone but again at the settle for just three to make the score seven you know is going to be a rich man soon John Gruden's agent very rich going rates to five he's probably north of that well I mean there is a guy with a year to go on his deal I mean he's as good as it gets and you talk about young this is a short kick bike 19 yard line Terry Kirby [Applause] to the 39 so a short kick good field position for Oakland let's check in with Edie all right well I'll I can tell you one thing about john bruton with this football team the playoffs have really bought into what he likes to do I mean the players have a lot of faith in him they really look up to him and one thing you can say is that they really respect him as a head coach well you know why they respect and I'll tell you Ganon's a gym rat he's like Chris Mullin he gets in at 6:00 a.m. the doors open already cuz Bruton beats him there every day first intent of the 39 and this team is John Buddha's stamp all over Italy has changed its offensive philosophy to win the Raiders are always thought of as a team they'd love to talk about a vertical offense and throwing the bomb and all of that stuff but there it is through six games of the completion mark highest in team history but yards per completions second lowest they haven't had a pass play of forty more yards which is unbelievable and just that one pick by Ganon on opening day opening day early in the game was returned for a touchdown but Ganon is perfect for this offense his relationship with goodness perfect as well second down and five he's got that great shoulder move and he picks up the first down I know it's like when a right-handed boxer goes lefty all of a sudden in mid round that froze the rusher up for a second a third leading rusher he's 35 years old there's that move dips that right shoulder now he knows what he needs for the first down now I knows when to get down Gannon 35 and he has never played better than he has over the last two seasons areas with Minnesota with Washington briefly with Kansas City first and 10 cannon throw and that's a short - its hey brown even in that brief picture we showed of him he was studying this playbook [Applause] since 99 well there's Warner with the Rams and Manning with the Colts with 27 wins and riches right there at 25 I just love the way they spread the ball around guten says that it helps build chemistry because each guy feels like he's contributing to the winning cause raising a few let the speed of Delaware first down charlie frustrated easy bloody it wonder oh man halsy game but slips down at the 31 yard line first down and this is a typical Raider Drive right now again and says we don't do anything fancy we don't go down to field that much we will at times we're more likely to run a 10 to 12 play drive our first score was a 10-play Drive this is a good one going right now first and 10 now I think wine [Applause] very curvy in the game and as he throws from behind kaamika Pittman who recovered the earlier fumble is the guy who had hold of Ganon second and ten it's ironic that in a way when you meet Ken and he's so self-effacing he's almost like the most underrated rich guy and here he is the one who will lead the back he self effacing but he has tremendous assuredness belly what's he got to lose you you chronicled his history lose out of football with the shoulder injury he knows this is as good a chance as he's got second down and ten last year of course he was hurt in the an C championship game and they had to go going the rest of the way around up losing the Baylor rice makes his second batch and winds up under the properties okay great kit tandem route by tim brown and jerry rice rice worked the inside at the slot brown came downtown got in the way watch rice kind of just setup dealt o'neill their route came in from the outside perfect pass and it's only been sacked nine times this year and has yet to go down tonight rice and brown like hope and Crosby there they just worked the kid first and goal down at the 7 yard line okay and gets knocked down at the two yardline and he's hurt and that will put everybody's heart in his throat right now old and tannoy Kennedy were there that is the last site in the world that Gruden wants to see because they go all the way down to Rodney Peete and the rookie marques Tuiasosopo is the backups and Gruden searched for a play right now he doesn't know again and he knows one thing again and it's not gonna play this next play he's just hoping he can play some more exactly he has to come out for at least one play Rodney Peete has to come in for at least one play and we'll check on Gannon Rodney has not appeared at the game since the last game of the 99 season as a here's where Gannon gets shaken up Kennedy hits him and - hate to say it but I think Rich Gannon was out before he stopped his slide here golde hit him first sit here's Rodney Peete seeing his first action in almost two years comes in second and goal and just needs the ball off to park it and offs like riding a bike now you don't forget you could have banked on a hook there's no question about that and they give it to Crockett and he gets in and we'll check on Gannon but Oakland a leagues 13 going on 14 to 6 off the right side behind Frank Middleton and make power over here watch this run by Crockett Richie with a super job of clearing Romanowski out of the way that is the lead blocker [Applause] left in the open the question is how's Gannett eight-point lead for the Raider Sebastian Janikowski to kick-off for the Raiders and Chris Cole will return the kick there he is 61 yards laughter I've Rakesh scores [Applause] inside the end zone good stutter moved then up to the 27 yard line we're at Bart in strips of us let's go back to the Gannon play a lot of Bronco fans would like to see Goodwin Kennedy hit like Steve Atwater well this is a legal hit because rich Gannon is a running back at this point he is not defenseless he is in the act of trying to get a touchdown Gruden arguing but I'm not sure what Bruton wants does he want half the distance there or does he want Kenoi Kennedy kicked out of the game looks like he wants helmet the helmet well you don't have helmet to helmet when the quarterback is out there running the ball he is a running back at that point with you big guy from a 20 cigar line four [Applause] davus goes nowhere checking with militia official worth of the Raiders rich skin it was just shaken up on the play he is expected to return he came over to the sidelines had a conversation with John Bruton at the end of which grooving said I love you man Oh Betty's good you know and it's so out of it right now he probably thinks they're married oh he and Richie know when he said I love it man who's Hispanic I think it wanted to get beer second and ten from the 26 yard line Griese just getting enough of him was previous Smith than I he is a lion gala game normally starting in that spot outside is hurt treyvion smith is going to get this sack because the rate is at great coverage tony dorsett in a zone here Rod Smith on the shallow cross one of those fire blitz it to deceive Josh Dave's dropping into coverage a defensive end but the Raiders were expecting past and the perfect coverage called for [Applause] from the 23-yard line greasy pants is caught in the Desmond Clark and against roll down close to a first down but short of it and they're forced to punt William Thomas made the tackle well they used to have a multi-headed Hydra tight end for the Denver Broncos but seems like they've wintered it that out pretty much to Carswell and Desmond Clark that's a Carswell from what we saw earlier is the guy who runs the for the tougher yards and Clark might be more of the receiving tight end now this was a case where Gruden again and probably wanted the Broncos go on a little bit longer drive but three plays and out now we're gonna have see Rich Gannon back on the field and I don't think he's a hundred percent Tom Rowan and his 90 their taxes call for made of the 16 you are by Tim Braun again Braun forced into pump returned duty tonight because of the injury to done 48 yard punt [Applause] at the 17-yard on our first night again and the catch is made by Jerry Rice over the middle so Rice after all of the spectacular performances he turned in across the bay and I guess as the blimp used to fly it would be about ten miles from here two three come make Candlestick Park so you know guys it's I mentioned at the top of the show twelfth time we've seen these teams on Monday Night Football on the rive where we probably better than ever right now yeah and I think the Raiders have the better team right now they're certainly playing that way but with Denver they are so confident first and 10 down from the 27 yard line here's Charlie garner and that's one of the reasons they are so confident because they have drawn egle and 49 are having a great year you know being we have the 20,000 point scored tonight you think that would be the most propitious event of the week but certainly you becoming a grand and into the world thank you thank you well I work with Lee you know so in a birthday boy and a burger yes two years we're all Scorpios next week your last week Caitlin Michaels November 1st thank you a broad Smith's daughter Rebecca's 12th Europe happy birthday Rebecca hey she first exact on the 40-yard line hello Harry 50 and the Magdalene Cicero Illinois you think I could have came up with a different last name than the city but it was free for me Godard Walker [Applause] another penalty another personal foul penalty Shanahan's broncos Denard Walker's number 27 it reaches back that's tonight Kennedy there he's not guilty but watch it's called right there on Jerry Rice oh wow the Hall of Famer that's down to the ground that's not a face masking that's orthodontic work first and ten three minutes to go in the half Terry Kirby is in the game in the back for the Raiders Ganon since brown and lotion to the left and make the throw Porter who gets offended at the 31-yard line well Gannon looks pretty lucid from what I see what do you think that yeah I do to Dennison the thing you got to be careful about though is that with a head injury like he's suffered that things start to slow down as the quarterback as the game goes along right now this is a heck of a head quarter hanging on Denard Walker the beautiful hit boy Porter's lucky he didn't suffer a catastrophic injury Wow second down six now [Applause] great protection by the Raiders and threads the needle picks Tim Brown Brown takes you to the 20 that's a first on techo by hal wilson and brown tonight has already caught five Bulls make it six now six for 60 yards well that tell us everything you need to know about Gannon he made free progressions and then threaded the needle drilling it warning Raiders on the move up graters a 17 first down [Applause] yard line at the two a Ganon step it up step it out seventh Brad to the 10-yard line and close to a first down tackle by O'Neal when you have veteran players like Gannon and rice and brown you have patience they're never in a hurry they may look like they're little frantic in the pocket like Gannon there but he knew exactly where his receivers worked Tim Brown found the dead spot didn't run out of it gave his quarterback at Target Raiders look like they're on a streak end and moved the night out I think they're sick of this they awesome to the Bronx it is first down and let's see where the ball is at the noses on the tenants but it's just outside and it's Brown making the catch they can actually get a first down without a touchdown at about the two inch line it's amazing that a guy like Ganon can take a hit on the beam like that even calibrate into a finer degree these passes are right there and mentally he's sharp that's really the key and what a luxury to have the chance to split out two receivers like rice and brown to one side of the field place election as you can see the Raiders past dominant tonight second a four eight of those 24 panties there's Ritchie [Applause] that was a little too easy for my chance sensibilities while ray roses defense is going to have to do a lot of adjustment here at the half Dannan is 20 out of 25 $77 Janikowski for the boy dancer [Applause] 80% radish he talked at the top of the show and all of the receivers ganon hands at his disposal including Ritchie here Ritchie's second touchdown reception of the year because al Wilson here has him in coverage the play fake by Gannon is perfect it draws Wilson up and now he's too late getting back to Ritchie touchdown second touchdown pass of the night for Gannon who had gone a while a couple of games without throwing any touchdown passes you think Groot loves getting a little bit more than out there doing piece John he usually has that scowl on I don't I don't think I've ever seen of that abuse on about receivers you got tip Brad Jerry Rice Porter's your third guy you know they using the four wide sets Don Hutson is that unbelievable [Applause] my aunty spotted earlier am I mad I gotta come clean I think that's the greatest football player I've ever seen you'd have a lot of company I mean I know people say receiver yeah sure given way out then pass the hilt Pillars of Hercules but I'm talking but that might be the greatest player well if you were in a debating class you could certainly put up enough numbers to support your position now you think about night but what is it seventeen years now and Jimmy Brown had nine it's an amazing comment he's coming up on his 39th birthday Janikowski skit Chris Cole [Applause] he brings it back up to the 31 and Gracie's got to try to get something going how important is this game to the Oakland Raiders will let Eric Allen tell you instead of worrying in week 12 13 if someone could be Denver for us we have the opportunity to take care of for ourselves so it's this very big force Shands had a lot of success against us here and since I've been here and John we have a meetin it so it's very important if we're gonna be a championship team and carry the mantle for the AFC we have to win this game nice pop to point along a football there where's that out San Diego first down from the 30-yard line Griese raise taxes many like to the 49-yard line Charles Evans bun uh-huh it's bouncing defensive backs right and land Denver takes a timeout that's their second one left twice mike shanahan steam has trailed Raiders by 11 points but never by as much as 15 which is the deficit right now and a very big drive here for Denver to try to get some points on the board at the end of the hand [Applause] again he goes to Desmond Clark the other tight end entry and fries well the ball is at the 40-yard line that's a first now they save the remaining time out first in ten Denver [Applause] this is Smith who normally doesn't like to go out of bounds but then he realizes what the games situation is and saves the time at rot telling us last night I never want to go out of bounds but all of a sudden they kind of collect they wait a second I got to get out here and a nickel as the Raiders written now and there prevent defense this is the matchup Shanahan wants Tory James a former Bronco against Rod Smith talk about a heads-up play there my Smith knew he couldn't get anything down the middle of the field saved his team precious time nobody is more aware in this league after the catch than Rod Smith watched Memphis caught 60 balls tops in the league first and 10 at the 30 yard Gracie flushed and in throws and making the catch along the sideline and getting out of bounds is Patrick so then they're not at least in field goal range and the other thing about the Bronco offense a lot of teams run their red zone offense when they get into the 20 greasy and Shanna and like to extend it they call it the red zone fringe they'll take some shots from the 25 because they have more yardage to work with and the clock had stopped anyway and the Raiders will utilize the clock stoppage to take a defensive timeout here second down and three at the 23 one timeout left and greasy for smith who gets inside position but can't make the cash he got inside tori james annex pronto but the pants a little high my question is why is Tori James in the game and not charles woodson Gracie doesn't care he knows that James is the target and he wants to give Rod Smith the chance Rocksmith that's really long arms not long enough on this play got to give it to Tori James with a great coverage as he knocks the ball away [Applause] and there's no plane towards the second time everybody's been in action we have two fouls oh they stopped the play with the first flag and we heard the whistles but then our official Tony Caretti threw another fly pardon snap [Applause] makes at once it is there's no play it renders mood anything else that happens maybe miss singer Eric can get us an update on Woodsen where he is there's your update right there drew Isakov just got it for us I can't believe you thinking it in camera 36 it certainly was out for a couple of plays high mountains we have cameras 32 to 37 that is that's it third down and a he but drew makes it look like 36 at the 28 yard line [Applause] and that may be one of those unabated is Regan ups or comes across the line unless he was induced [Applause] well that's frustrating for Gruden because Upshaw has had a lot of personal South's defense plays in the neutral zone others now and all sets the foil start boiling it's such a crucial mistake because it it allows the offense so many more options what type of play they want to run here remember Terrell Davis is still in the game and greasy hasn't given him the ball but now at third and three you can run him out an option round or just hand him the ball behind this offensive line rivalry this heated there almost isn't it isn't a neutral zone these two teams Gracie and a third down has had his problems this season after performing brilliantly last year David's lines up as the ace back at the 23 show blitz here they come and greasy gets sacked at the 29-yard line by gravy and Smith now the clock momentarily stops because of the sack now it restarts and they're going to have to take their time out to get the field-goal unit in is if that's what they want to do the clock is still ticking down and that gree she has to take the time out here to set up Elam for what's going to be about a 48-yard attempt treyvion Smith really comes hard on the outside here working on Matt left says just went right by him with speed and then the strength to pull breezy down as he was stepping up into the pocket keep in mind how many players we've seen slip on this surface tonight keep an eye on eelain's plant foot then I just like plant flip sign treyvion Smith had a half sack in his career in 40 games prior to tonight he is 2 in a half and again he's playing because of the injury to alive Alexander the ball will be spotted by Tom Rouen at the 38 yard line a 48 yard attempt David Diaz and phanpy will snap it barring a penalty on the defense this will be the final play of the half raiders have blocked two field goals this year both against Dallas [Applause] there's only 47 [Applause] gets deflected deflected we think five-door said so a first half of frustration for Denver twice they had a first and goal and had to settle for field goals then they're marching down the field and gets time in at the end here coming off the corner laying out and getting the ball Anthony George set with a great effort here with the left hand 21 6 halftime score let's go to Melissa on the field how do you stop their passing attack we're gonna have to slow them down they've had the ball four times and three touchdowns so we've got to pick it up on defense and offensive ly we've had the ball four times we've got a cell for field goal so hopefully will improve in both areas thanks Mike let's go over to Erik with John Gurdon coach last week you read about 47 times did you see something the defense tonight that make you through throw the ball so much tonight I went through it 25 times in the first half the situation last week is different than this week we're just trying to win her okay thank you goes my dear al all right Thank You Erik 21 to 6 the Raiders on top as they try to beat Denver for the first time in eight tries we come to the Network associates Coliseum in open 21-6 and what a hand for one Rich Gannon yeah John Putin says I Love You Man and let's show you why he loves Rich Gannon this is before the 11 yard touchdown pass to Tim Brown got things rolling then he scrambles to that nice little shoulder didn't he talked about [Applause] - Oi Kennedy number 28 hold back Porter nice soft cloth to Richie for his second touchdown of the night I think guys like Gannon and Steve Young left 11 for a while have to sit there and wait their shot or better at one in the West Coast offense I don't think it's the young man's offense it's just too much to remember how many intricacies Young had to wait a while and then Ferg in and you know he started to a Minnesota back in 1987 he was actually picked by the Patriots he was drafted by New England in the fourth round 87 never played for them as a look at Brown with eight receptions eight of the 20 by Gannon but Gannon then to Washington he he spent two years in fact out of football including most recently 1994 and we talked about that last night he said he was he was rehabbing his shoulder and faster than he ever thought he'd get the chance again to place and well I was thinking about Canada at that point and it's a good thing have to watch him on lady just a master running this gasps Keys check is pulled in at by Chris Paul [Applause] taking it up to the 28 yard line okay let's take a look at the numbers now the Raiders ran 36 offensive plays in the first half they made twenty first downs and they've gave their punter Shane LeClair the first half off no punts for the Raiders the broncos on the other hand numbers are decent but they only have six points thrilled Davis off to a good start but since that first quarter the Raiders have shut him down [Applause] from the 27 yard line to Davis to the 30 check in with militia are trailing by 15 points Mike Shanahan doesn't feel like they need to play catch-up he said that they've moved the ball pretty well and he also said expect to see Davis carry the ball at least 10 times in the second half Davis carried the ball 10 times in the first half that was his 11th carry right there for a gain of three second down and seven from the 30 there [Applause] 26 they're not getting clear shot set up but they're disrupting everything Quadra Coleman able to knock him down yeah it's a real good blitz package we've seen treyvion Smith in on a couple of sacks tonight he came that time along with Greg Baker shot at him watch 54 right here and then banks Burt Smith right behind him greasy running for his life this has no time once he sets that back foot right in his face there now from the 25-yard Griese fires over the middle of his contact made and because Ron Smith it was Marquez pulp draping himself on Smith board or said I'm sorry Dorsett number 33 defense automatic [Applause] amazingly pivotal cloud take a look at us go back to what I said I think it was pull and he stands I'm saying who me it's Anthony Dorsett there's no question about this the right hand comes in on the helmet before the ball got there oh and drink beaker lays out Scottie Montgomery [Applause] at the 43-yard line Anderson takes him out of bounds on the Raiders side of the 50 all the way down of the 43 yard line beaker even nonchalant at that yeah he had a freebie there montgomery never saw him coming across the middle a lot of crossing routes in the west coast linebackers got to do this who forgot first down at the 43 yard line Mike Anderson again Anderson has been their basic back this season because Davis has been hurt gary has played a lot but a Landis is inactive tonight and Mike Anderson who run a rush for over a thousand yards last season sees his action out of the backfield right now a Davis getting a breather well in the last time Mike Anderson played the Raiders here in Oakland all he did was go for 187 [Applause] second out of four first down and he takes it all the way down to the 20-yard line where he's tackled by marques Pope then again you thought about that offensive line paving the way Davis being such a good man behind it and so is Anderson a little bit difference of the way they attack with Anderson to plays right up the middle this play we have Dan Neal number 62 watch the block on Grady Jackson opens a hole and then Tony Carter with another good lead block [Applause] and Anderson with some tough running to the 15-yard line you know a lot has been made dan about jock box and cut blocks and a couple of Denver offensive linemen fine recently and of course they've been talking about that for years in Denver wow there's we'll discuss exactly what is legal what is not legal right now there are no cut blocks because this is power football they're coming out of their stands at going right at the Raiders second down and five more power so close to the 11 yard line well cut blocking is allowed in close line play in the tackle box and the tackle box is from tackle the tackle and three yards deep on either side of the ball now the cut blocks or blocking below the waist is legal if from the front and it's legal if from the side but the cut block is never legal from behind the officials know they're not going to catch them all because they're looking at the point of attack most cut blocks happen behind the play but they know the eye on this to the tune of $15,000 normally third down and one cash is made by Smith and rod has the first down and again the Broncos are inside the ten but they've been stymied twice tonight that's the third time they've had a first and goal on their prior two forges inside the 10 yard line they had to settle for field goals you know how if you break a leg it's 15 grand in this lake but if the soft on that leg is not adjusted at the proper height it's funny it does seem that way sometimes the fashion police and there's the in the game empty backfield first and goal Smith loses the ball but out of bounds so it still belongs to Denver he's tackled by James and Kobe boy it's imperative that the Broncos get a touchdown 10 minutes to go a lot of time here in the third quarter Jane is exactly the Drive they needed to start the second half does I'm sorry Danna James with a classic punch shot it's not even thinking about the tackle he knows he's got the sidelines to back them up why not just go for the rock that is a tomahawk shot right there beautiful second a goal now Mike Anderson will be the running back and there is Charles Woodson once again as he was at the end of the first half just looking on he must be hurt we certainly haven't heard anything from the Raiders about it though meanwhile the Broncos could not get the right personnel on the field that they have to burn a timeout now Jon Gruden said that toss listen has a turf toe he will go in and out the game he says it's going to try to keep playing the whole game though so I'll give you one up an update on that okay in the meantime something that happened in the first half there he is you know now I'm scuse me but if he's going to go in and out of the ballgame talk about a crucial time to put him in the game yeah about the 5-yard line inside the five yard I would love the final Raider fan or a Raider defensive guy to have 24 in that back though with me Mike Anderson is in the backfield he gets the football anyone Gregg beaker ball to the two yardline setting a third-down goal well you know Atlanta Terrell Davis he'll throw a feint in there he's a power runner but he does have good fakes but I got a thing Mike Anderson mrs. Howard Griffith the most out of these backs because he's just a run to the whole north/south guy and Howard Griffith you always precede him into those holes and eliminate people it's a huge loss for the Broncos especially critical times like this third and goal Davis comes back in the game but he is split wide to the right bottom the screen that is Davis in motion and we've got a whistle before the snap again and once again especially in the cool and of the stadium either one of them you've got players not hearing the whistle that was called by Auckland but Denver gave him a different look and somebody called timeout for the Raiders and this year he is more than ever the main man as Davis goes nowhere of a man because you be injury to Eddie McCaffrey which was a huge loss well they better stay focused on those team records because there's a guy sitting across the field on the other bench who has set everything else that's so far you're never gonna see him first eight games of the season rod Smith has caught more balls than anybody at this point in any season JT Smith Chris Carter would be next he was 60 JT Slipknot is a blast from the past most of Smith's caches come on third down we get a need one here [Applause] from the 10-yard line Woodson's back in the game greasy it's incomplete and looking for the flag was Montgomery Scottie Montgomery first time to comb his way tonight break beat get the linebacker was covering on the play suppose I'm surprised Scotty's in there after that hit from be Curt earlier [Applause] Tom Erwin it's a putt Tim Brown again with David done of hurt Brown who in years past was a great punt return to here and it's a wobbly kick a flag is [Applause] is a very short kick and the way the Raiders are reacting it may be against Oakland they have too many men on the field it may be holding on the gunner on the outside flanking from about 40 yards away from the action from the side judge [Applause] illegal contact [Applause] Tony corrected around during the flight of the kick illegal use of hands hands in the face preceding team number 37 10-yard kill via BSS first down [Applause] it's a post possession foul on Johnny Harris Oakland poll nine-point lead Raiders have the ball now at their own 48 after that very short punt and the penalty Shanahan 11 and 1 against his old team but trailing now by 9 going back in the Senate comes in and rich recovers it himself at least for the moment remember I told you he has a slight concussion first up so there was no play but it's a well taken point the enemy it was reported a slight concussion I've been their ally know that you think you're alright but things just slow down a little bit this is a good snap by true comes up and Gannon just drops it you got to keep your eye on the quarterback now a simple thing is a center exchange humbled by Rich Gannon first half 15 for the 43 and again as we pointed out before Rodney Peete is the backup they sign him as insurance and they're number three quarterback would be the rookie marques Tuiasosopo Bob Bobby who was hurt ally was knocked out in a game in Kansas City and I will stayed in the game and proceeded to throw three or four interceptions I don't remember how many but I do remember that two of them were returned for touchdowns finally they said get out of here you're killing us this is the shot from conoid Kennedy right here a legal shot because Ganon's are running back that is the problem now second and 11 Corder he fell down remained upright Jimmy Spencer makes the tackle at the 49 yard line sitting up a third down and seven guess what Dan that concussion you had you're still think I don't even exist Hey exasperated Shanahan he shows up for the key game of the year and his kickoff guy and his punter are not showing up with him I mean that along with power and yesterday and his travails with Chris Brown through the years would have been a tremendous one-two punch third down and seven at the 49 yard short drop surveying what a job by the offensive line again and Jane it's twisted as he struggles to get the first down by Ian Dole but appears to have it this is a zone blitz by the Broncos they're gonna drop defensive line out on coverage here to come up the middle watch these guys right here they're taking away these crossing routes there's Mobley Porter trying to work his way open Ian Gould with the speed again a crossing route by a Raider receiver look at the mess right in here great job of that offensive line and what a gutty effort right here by Rich Gannon even when he's on impulse power his instincts still tells him to stay up instead of slide look at that by two inches a first down that's being a competitor Pierce and what what a job by the Oakland offensive line through the years the broncos have been sack happy against the Raiders and that's part of the reason for their success but tonight zip none on the year you forgot nada nada all right thank you six game here using the umpire to his advantage takes the ball in a 36 yard line Walker made the tackle and a pickoff the umpire Bob Wagner talking about the sax that Denver has affected against the Raiders through the years each of the last seven games four or more sacks of course all of those games Denver wins now did I just see the umpire throat chakra ha ha that's only 15 grand second down and four from the 36 [Applause] short pants over the middle by Terry Murphy makes the catches the 34 now Wilson the middle linebacker is there and now a very key third - third and short coming up for the Raiders and clearly through Wilson's exasperation didn't like the mark yeah you got that oh yeah you like it at all hated it you read those tea leaves and in fact they're gonna say his forward progress is enough to to precipitate a measurement here [Applause] and this time they're two inches shy of the first down they thought they should be two yards shy yeah first I you know from it with a naked eye I thought he was well short of the first if you put a match over there that I wouldn't be naked I don't like hearing naked and two inches shy in the same sentence all right here's the replay Dennis Terry Kirby's going to fight for this first down out Wilson's wrapping them up the knee goes down there that's a very generous mark it's one it's one of those things you can challenge but if you're Shanahan do you want to challenge this Horace this CLO line was two yards away that worth a challenge because it fished it will be third in the yard the ham now it's Gannon who tries to get the first down and let's see where they spot this the look on Shanahan space there was no question that Mike thought about challenging the spot but in that particular case even if you'd won the challenge it would have been third let's say a yard and a half so is it worth it well I tell you where the yellow line is and where they mark the ball is a good yard and a half name probably giving him forward progress here because if that's the case then it is closer yeah I think they gave my right foot is forward progress but how about the quarterback sneak with Gannon when we head first and Gannon loses two inches two inches before and it's fourth down somebody didn't tell rich kin and he had a concussion in the first half gets a break they're not getting hit in the head gets pushed back by all Wilson so now Richie and Crockett the two big banks come in in this set and the Raider options of course here are to try to kick a 50-yard field goal downside is Denver would get it at the 40 Poots punt it or go Ford or try to draw it in her offside [Applause] Worthen inches and this is Crockett and he has that's such a no-brainer for john bruton and you've got richie at 250 and Zack Crockett at 245 going behind Lincoln Kennedy at 340 I think I'd give it to him fix it up easily just to leave play with Richie taking out Romanowski and then Crockett taking the low road double team with Middleton and Lincoln Kennedy for the first down how low have a base set here its corner Charlie picks up nine getting to the 21-yard [Applause] woman asking in on the tackle with 210 to go in the third remember when Romanowski close he didn't want to be out in space with Charlie Gardner because he can make you look silly there goes both Romanowski and Kanoa kennedy good effort by Romanowski to get back in on the tackle though now go sorry Kirby where he has enough let drive to get inside the 19 yard line with bill Romanowski makes the tackle ball with the 19 yard line a first down [Applause] oh love the play clock this is rocket for the 19 yard line and Gannon the the savvy one the veteran one knowing a nine-point lead it's time to play a little bit of clock ball you know we saw Jerry Rice it passed protecting in the first half that time Gannon had him come back in motion and try to be the lead blocker on that play Jerry's a better pass blocker than he is a lead blocker take my word for her Jerry's looking again and hate didn't hear what Dennis said but Mick would have cut me lead block here he goes trying to cut big kavika Pittman no dice no rice second down and ten 19 yard line and Gannett has to take a timeout and that's that's the second taken by Oakland remember they took one earlier Dorsett defensively took one and they take one here with 21 seconds remaining in the third quarter well if there is such a thing as good third quarter timeouts I think both those were pretty wise choices yeah you don't want that delay a game to push you back five yards every inch in this game as we've seen is extremely important [Applause] I'm looking for Hanks died on the sidelining I told you Merton Hanks nice to be murdered hey Tom Hanks another stories second down and 10 back in the 19 yard line is Gannon [Applause] the Broncos chose to come after Gannon and play man-to-man in the secondary something you just hate to do in the red zone because if you get beat it's six points on the move another great post route as he sets up dealt O'Neil takes him to school scores the pressure doesn't get there the offensive line another great job another beautiful pass the point after by janakowski is good 89th career touchdown receptions where tim brown he is now all time and that I've alone he has moved past I'm a nerd and Andre Reed on the all-time career list and Oakland extends its advantage to 16 and he's done it with such style and class I mean he this is a post drought that used to see Boyd Dowler run with the Green Bay Packers take about Timmy while Delta might have been his defensive player in the month for October but he hasn't been in the caldron of this game before they have schooled him tonight well Jim garner used to be the good luck charm for Oakland but now it might be Tom Hanks enjoy yourself I must say AFL Monday Night Football is everything I remember it a beautiful matchup here Kent McCord and David Grayson listen I'm just here soaking up the Dennis Miller Renaissance machine watching him at yet another show business profession to his resume yeah I'm doing Rodion next week a rider this is a great thrill for me and my boys I want to thank you about yeah good to see you and of course Saving Private Ryan coming our way on network television this Sunday are they showing commercials on that or is that though we got some special thing Janikowski it is fielded by Chris : and it gets whacked at the 19 yard line by treyvion Smith treyvion stylin and why not to sex tonight and a big hit pretty much seen here though is that I must say that I haven't been back to Oakland in a couple of years said there's no doubt about it as soon as you walked into the Coliseum I see my friend Glen clay from from my high school drama class is still throwing the footballs around down there for the equipment guys is great to see him it's a nice homecoming well Tommy you've had the official stamp of infra mater they put you up on the jumbotron here this is a tough room they gave you a nice cheer there let me tell ya I was sweating a couple of moments in anticipation of coming here to the game that was definitely [Applause] Junior Griese throws and that is still behind the intended receiver the pretext remaining now in the third so Thomas a resident of La think of it this way the Rams and the Raiders could wind up in the Super Bowl it could have been LA against LA look we're still trying to shake off the excess fell down there now you bring it up particularly tough tough memories for anybody who likes reaction of the gridiron seasons for the XF no Billy Crystal the Clipper games right down on a 50 if you can name the three kings from the XFL right now calluses Denis were you on the bosom buddies too huh yeah I was Donna Dixon I mean why Luke no commercials on Saving Private Ryan but we have to take a few here to make up for it Tom great to see you so much terrific so you know good to see you lady end of the 3rd it's all open [Music] big night in Oakland where Denver is trailing by 16 as we start the fourth quarter with Bryan Rishi throwing and it's gone stretching and reaching for the first down and appears to have it he does what an effort by Clark he was being tackled and just refused to go down until he got all the way to the marker and lucky for him the marker was right there in his vision so he knew exactly what he needed Griese hanging tough in the pocket Clark had to spin all the way around and then beat Anthony Dorsett with the stretch at the 30 yard line here's Davis taken down in the side by Marquez both here the numbers to 3/4 the Broncos have that great drive to start the second half but only got six points out of it again the Raiders totally dominant well the game almost dictates that the Bronx at least get free here [Applause] is that missed extra point mean anything three points will be naming in then they two touchdowns and the catch is they here by Eddie Kennison and Kennison rolls his way to a first down up in the 42 yard line Terrell Davis back in action tonight first time in almost two munchie-t what do you think of him well a couple of things I just wanted to see was could he make the hard cuts like he did in the first game against the Giants when Terrell Davis is healthy I don't think it's a back in the league that is to hold as hard and as fast and right now he looks like he's back and he's healthy especially early in the game but it was good and decent blocking a couple a nice burst even though his average is under three yards per carry that a lot of that had to do with the dropped boss which couches [Applause] by crave Ian Smith dan I don't know what you're saying if they get six field goals here they're bragging again got a stud somewhere I'd say treyvion Smith is having a fantastic day filling in for Elisha Alexander this is a frisbee shot right here looks like out look like an order that's a gold medal toss right there it's really embarrassing when you end up underneath the bench fowler give me five second and 1744 [Applause] that's not by rostrum and burns down as the ball for the open 47 yard line I gotta get back they'll be no I'm somehow slid in they'll be nice you have a traditional view slit I'm gonna let that be know what happened we're all slip-sliding away here Denver maybe slip sliding out of the race for first place in the end she west because they'd be four and four Raiders will be 61 here's Woodson out of the game again again in that of the turf go on grass first in Denton 247 Davis and that's what Dickerson was going to be talking about Tyrell showed a lot of the old Terrell Davis behind a mat left system walk mat left us at 6 for 290 but a marvelous athlete being able to get out and run that's why Denver in an illegal cut block I'm amazed the land the scariest event deactivator we went by that early in the game [Applause] in a way first and ten at the 31-yard greasy nearside Desmond Clark and that's a first out of the exam well Mike pointed out last night I mean you really don't need more than two running backs to begin with most teams in every Tennessee all you needs Eddie George here you have Davis you have Mike Anderson Gary can't play special teams but Mike's that they brought all three guys in explain what the deal was Phil the Landers who knows next week could be number one what's it do to his head though man well this has been a kind of a soap opera for all three running backs because Darrell's been out of the lineup so much but I think Gary is used to it he knows who get his shot he's young then when the three amigos were receivers 17 yard line comes close gets to the one tackled by Allen and beaker - here are the Broncos marching all the way down the field on a drive that began all the way back at their own 19 maybe 20 yard line there is no set limping off boy greasy finding Tyrell throws the ball behind him but what an adjustment to the pass and then knowing where the goal line was Broncos can't waste any time they got to get this one in now because they got a little under 11 minutes to go this one in action [Applause] [Applause] a flag thrown oh and of all things it's a hold against the Broncos I think it's Dwayne Carswell who was trying to secure the corner for greasy to get out on the rollout ten-yard cuddly names at such a backbreaker [Applause] yeah but you remember that he said greasy like he said he'd like to operate the redzone from the 25 in maybe this gives him the space he needs now there's the hold right there now when you're on the one-yard line your red zone offense is gone it's now a goal-line office you must rather be a yard away then 11 I know but that been said it does open some more plays he was holding brave Ian Smith its first and goal from the 11 Griese a reverse is this been worn for the touchdown and if there are any questions about the strength and the health of Brian Griese ease right shoulder that throw they're answered them all running to his left seeing Clark in the endzone he threw a marvelous pass watch the action go away if you have a bad shoulder you don't make that throw and they could not ran that play from the one-yard like then now they would have been 20 or 20 yards out of the humps in the black hole another Red John by greasy they have to go for two to cut it to eight conversion here and they get it it is holding by Rod Smith in their back to annotate we got a game or we do I want to came to go down to the end 28 to 20 greasy was hit as he threw monetarily shaken but appears to be okay there he was he's gonna whack from Smith 1041 left in regulation one that goes today and being from the seven yard line and once again a good run back who has run back every kickoff and punt this season until tonight again fairly decent field position Eric Johnson had shaken up on the play component leave [Applause] don't start offense number five yard penalty remains pushed down Frank Middleton hey now he's covering right well I made of a lip reading in the national football league so yeah when you got a face like this you got to put it on television yeah remember Matt Cavanaugh last year then there in the middle that six-game touchdown low streak he was covered his mom that damn Thursday May 1st and 50s before there goes Charlie garner turning amen [Applause] 27 yards there those moves Roma was threatened about Dano all right no question about it he's very patient he set up some blocks and then he got into the open field and it was time for moves watch Middleton out front there on Jimmy Spencer this is just beautiful to watch it takes that old Tennessee volunteer al Wilson to bring down this volunteer know that Wilson's gold for the chop - right there some great referrals and ten at the 45 yard line [Applause] Ross flag down when the Grundy's crew the flags on either side of the field line judge sides of silence [Applause] judgin headlines me five well mr. Bob Fouts one of the all-time greats father of Dan the longtime voice of the San Francisco 49ers and damn good enough to get Papa Bobby the the best feet in the house tonight you know Dennis you've heard the term Red Dog and it means blitzing yes that man right there coined the phrase Wow used to sitting on coaches beating red Hickey in the 49ers it comes from red hippy and also the alley-oop in RC Owens you like to talk a little lofting it high in the endzone yeah I've found so some of the greats and they're the the number is on the two guys playing the quarterback position tonight 130 points six the rating for Gannon 120 point one for Griese phenomenal figures and it's been a toughness both mentally but physically both of them have taken some unbelievable shots greasy on that last two-point conversion second down and five from the 40 yard line [Applause] in yard you know most times stiff farms come from the side Kirby went straight at Denard Walker with the stiff arm I asked you this dad could the defensive player stiff arm would be up to have a ball in her hand to punch somebody in the face look at this that's a great move and the legs keep driving the Raiders are going to take the air out of the ball now it's going to be ground Gruden from here on in and they can take the air out of the broncos replied with they find themselves in a position when they'd be more than once or that again garner takes the ball to the 19 and he's tackled by Trevor price C ground rude and I'm trying to be like the old man you know come up with night night that just laid there Dennis I mean you didn't respond or anything so amazed by the alley-oop in the red dog and on top of that he also hatched a Hall of Fame quarterbacks on the guys the guys got the trifecta there all right how proud they have to be announced the organizers and your kid one day ends up a bronze bust [Applause] great to see a good second down tonight slings it and the few times there's mistiming between Brown and Gannon and it looked like Brown was pointing to himself as if you know I blew it but now he's here you be Brian when he's covered in a MBA said they need a stop here and then for definitely take you to stop him they need a turnover basically and turnovers haven't come easy against the Raiders this year Gartner had the fumble in the first half Gannon on an unbelievable streak without throwing interceptions no scepters for ages now [Applause] passage [Applause] his fourth Passover season big 39 Randy Jordan is a bank deal and what we've got a timeout taken here by Auckland and that's their final timeout after the timeout and Oakland has none nana terry kirby is the running here it is third down and at the 19-yard line get in swings Furby seeking the first step it'll come up about two yard shy bump that abounds my moly and setting up a fairly easy field goal attempt for Sebastian Janikowski you just can't give this offensive line enough credit again it's thrown thirty three times tonight and they've two wonderful job up since tipping in promote Collins watch Tim Brown Denard Walker says you're not scoring on me again that's the narcs third big hit of the night the Rams a large field goal attempt for Janikowski first round bangs it through and with 7:28 left in regulation Oakland's lead is at 31 [Music] AFC West standings at the moment Oakland five and one trying to go to six and one San Diego losing yesterday by the way Doug Flutie MRI and the concussion will practice this week and in Denver at the moment four and three haven't seen a little man do business they like that in San Diego since deke posts the mod scooter Drew Brees not bad yesterday yeah the kids get savvy for a row [Applause] ooh stickers as well [Applause] Chris Cole going straight up the middle not much finesse Cole the height to the 33-yard line [Applause] will claim [Applause] in his 11-year career the veteran reading the route of the quarterback Ricci is [Applause] does that gotta feel great to groove to get that off his back in convincing fashion [Applause] groans a crate down coach and I'd say he had the pump Prime tonight these guys look tight they've been tight all year remember it against Miami their only loss the Dolphins have to have Jay Fiedler run in on the last rocket hidden for the touchdown [Applause] checkout number 59 William Thomas sidelines because of this play watch him just read Bree she hide behind the defensive end and they go up and make the catch Wow that was about the most graphic depiction you can see if a guy play hide and seek wasn't it yeah it was right behind the defensive end and then Zack Crockett is not going to be denied that's his second score of the night for greasy that's 11 interceptions in his last six games last year handling for all year Wow this might be the loudest Stadium I've been in my first time through this a particularly joyous occasion for these fans extra point coming 7:06 to go in regulation Thomas's pick sets up an easy touchdown 38 [Applause] [Music] gasps keys one hopper slips those No what is the air particularly heavy tonight between Elam and Janikowski it got pretty strong pins nobody to kick off now we're so far below sea level Dennis as you mentioned they attempt rain has been way above sea level tonight Rich Gannon is thrown at seven different receivers that he got tim brown with two classic post patterns for touchdowns and with Tim Braun is hot this whole Raider team just right along with them Brown caught four on the first drive [Applause] Davis to the two yard line Wow it's a small victory for Denver but you gotta like the way Terrell looks tonight I mean they are getting whomped but he looks good yeah it's funny he goes for 13 yards at 15 yarder that nice game there and then other times the Raiders just stuff them in the backfield we got to wonder about the play of the defense of the Raiders why they've been beat so many times and yet they can come right back first and ten [Applause] and Gracie slipping again curve getting slicker and slicker and that's a gift sack for Grady Jackson and that's for sacks tonight for the Raiders and the first for Grady Jackson this year and it was a gift 330 pounds he's more of a run stuffer inside a little late off the ball but he gets right by Lenny Friedman is playing with a bad knee Griese goes down and then a whole bunch of weight on top of him [Applause] nine yards back second down to nineteen the bola for the 22 the 2-yard line davus emotion [Applause] I'll Grady Jackson has emerged as the Raiders best offensive lineman and given one he's overcome to even be here it's that much more impressive when he was seven his mother died giving birth to his youngest brother when he was 16 his father was murdered breaking up a fight at Jackson was going to play football at Alabama but got a job loading trucks instead so that he could help raise his two younger brothers after two years of working he went to high senior college and in a knoxville college his parents he has written mom and dad rest in peace love gravy on his shoe and a sack greasy there and that greasy has to take a timeout and that's what Melissa was talking about rest in peace mom and dad Jackson you know it's an interesting thing we haven't talked very much about Darryl Russell tonight Darryl Russell considered to be an emerging star along the defensive front missed the first four games of this season from violating the leaked substance abuse policy and right now relegated to a reserve role at rod Coleman starts to ahead of him and not only relegated to a reserve role that was the subject of trade rumors that were more than just rumors New York Jets on the other side of those trade rumors well I think groupies affirm it here in to the premise that the Sun is Marx more powerful than he ingredients to Darwin that Darryl Russell we can have all the pedigree wants in the world but there's a Gruden way and if you that's the way you have to coach they're down a little at the 29-yard Gracie hit as he throws and it's worth that there are times when enough money in the world to make you want to play quarterback in the NFL when you're down by 18 points and you got a throw this is what your face Russell 96 Jackson just overpowering right in the middle he falls into the sack right there but Brandi Jackson in the fourth quarter picks up two sacks Raiders are Red Dog and everybody well the Raiders have put tremendous pressure on greasy almost all night and the Broncos have put almost no pressure as the go for it on fourth down no pressure on Gannon this time it is incomplete and again some pressure on greasing that time Thomas covering on the play and he turned the ball over on downs William Thomas has got greasy time doesn't eat there yeah we got a flag way down the field though so maybe the Broncos to get a break here defense 12 players on the field at the snap 5-yard penalty which is why they were trying to keep time Birdman told us he was trying to break into five four three tonight it's the most effective prevent defense you can get that twelfth guy out right only at A&M though hardly any other teams running two three four five hundred [Applause] so it gives the Broncos one final breath at thousand six [Applause] Graci off his back foot intercepted by Tory Jane should have had Bob Fouts call that alley-oop he's just trying to make something happen it how about Tory James filling in for rod for Charles Woodson all night doesn't buy that fake by Rod Smith and then goes up against the second pic of the year how sweet is coming against your former team to [Applause] looking at the AFC frontrunner here boys these guys this team is mega legit it's really a good point Dennis because the offense is running so well with cannon in charge but this defense has the ability to make big plays and they have a lot of players that can do it got to keep Gannon healthy though either than Brett Favre there's a team that falls off the precipice if they lose a quarterback it's the pack and it's the Raiders and one of the reasons is the Bobby boy who would be the number two quarterback as herd so they've had to bring in as we said before Rodney Peete Oh actually good for a play you want this to ESS Opel is number three Zack Crockett carries here Raiders over the next four Seattle it's the ESPN game next Sunday night San Diego comes here then the Raiders go to the Giants who escaped with their lives yesterday and then Arizona comes here meanwhile Denver goes home to face San Diego you look at the Broncos tonight then no protection really for greasy and defensively they just don't look anywhere near as good as they did earlier this season and even last year and they were playing against the beat-up offensive line and the Raiders and no sax on Rich Gannon that's troublesome for Mike Shanahan second and eight and this is terry kirby up to the 39 yard line and a black comes in at the end because now we've got garbage time well how much do you think they missed their old defensive coordinator robinson craig robinson is now in Kansas City no philosophical differences but Robinson sure seemed to have the Raiders number with his multiple defenses in pressure packages [Applause] during the continuing action immediately after the personal foul unnecessary with this often 277 this is a 15-yard penalty that is Darrell Ashland and he's looking for number 53 bill Romanowski Romo's on the ground here and ash more clips him from behind well after the ball carrier was down and ro Moses why me why would you take a shot at me well you know the Bronx efface some definite adversity here in the first half the season I mean you got no schloredt no Tony Jones no Alex Gibbs you lose Robinson over like you said philosophical difference both their guards have been dinged a little no Howard Griffith at McCaffrey goes down in the first game there they're definitely faced a lot of the person [Applause] John Mobley the AFC is so strong right now that the Broncos if they lose this one go to four and four and there would be nine teams in the conference with better records only six of course go to the playoff so they'd be well out with the season were to have ended tonight Mike not losing three consecutive division games as the Denver Coates Raiders had too many men in the huddle there Johnny still feeling it he'll be up in five hours over the last time Shanahan lost three consecutive games in the AFC West he got fired he was the Raider coach 89 you don't think Poland would would not in 10,000 years [Applause] I hate ranking coaches you know who's the best at all that nonsense but in these two guys and you know you name the top five or six coaches of the league and they are both of them right now on the list I mean Shanahan's record speaks for itself two Super Bowls was one two thirds of his games in the regular season Bruton still amazingly the youngest coach in the league in his fourth season and both of them probably two most intense guys we run across though in their own ways but I mean but guys having Ganon upset if he plays this game to the end espn.com the rest of it as you all know I think I love about Bruton is that he's taken the raiders and molded them as he wanted to he has an offense that is diverse he's got a defense that's aggressive and he's got very talented players plus he has veteran players who know that their careers are coming to an end they know that this is as good a shot as they're going to get and they leading by example and performing I know it's only been 1 years but it's weird to look at the all-time radar punting average listen see this kid about Greg you [Music] to the 37 well since it moved completely the last time that sighs was on before the Cleveland Browns Gracie throws a Miss and makes the catch sorry Gus for rot is the quarterback and as Gracie gets the rest of the night off to Anderson and he'll go without a huddle here you know talking about the Ravens they kind of like playing in Adelphia Coliseum don't they you notice how yesterday they gave everybody in that division keeps saying the other teams stadium is their stadium everyone tend to see a Jacksonville's number now Baltimore is Tennessee's number and while there's grease e's night for sacs six times you get knocked down two bigs two scepters I love it when we go to Nashville because that always jumps up on jug-band karaoke night does a little Tammy Wynette with me twice a big thrill to be on stage with you I'll take Steve hurt with us make a trail standing by your color commentator second [Applause] wait kind of the poster we got a strobe light in here wanna see you look good huh you look good yeah thank you they broke me down like cold in Luke a few weeks ago is transgressing the skivvies up here with Freddie whack Miran now I'm in the suit man huh no I'm gonna go fetch that duck walking boss two-minute warning I want you to have today what if that 50th day again [Applause] those makes a great guys [Applause] pretty good battle tonight Tory James filling in for lunch with the charles woodson working on Rod Smith here there he gets the grab in there but he is it so slyly and quickly at the he doesn't draw a fly goes right for the ball with the left hand after making contact with the arm I thought Rod Smith would have got a rep call there more rep tutorial secretin channa [Applause] almost picked on the deflection Eddie Kennison intended receiver marques cope was almost often mark tears pope john xxiii was about the best pope famous pomp matter Dave poke Dan what's your take on the Broncos right now halfway through the season they're going to go home for four well that look kind of sums it up looking at the scoreboard seeing an 18-point deficit and wondering what are we going to do now I think they got to settle on a running back number one so maybe it's real positive as Dennis talked about that [Applause] but banana what do you make of the 11 interceptions by Gracie that's that's pretty shocking there's no question that it's a lot more than he's thrown in the past but a lot of them have come in certain situations where he had to throw as he did tonight I would be more concerned about the lack of production out of the defensive line of the Broncos and that entire defense the Raiders set the tone tonight with that first drive didn't they him right down the field put six on the board two-minute warning the Raiders that close to breaking a seven-game losing streak today opened on top 38 220 again Denver came in having beaten Oakland seven consecutive times and we have been breaking speaks left and right because we had the Giants and eagles on a couple of weeks ago and the Eagles were able to win after losing eight during the regular year and one playoff game Pittsburgh had lost to Tennessee seven straight times and then the Steelers won last week Mabley and another seven game streak is going down the drain the night as Oakland will finally not go up Denver since John Rudin took over as Oakland's head coach [Music] Street Buster's one Street though continued in the Dallas Washington game Dallas came into the game having beat Washington seven times in the Rome knock him off again fourth and six now 26 yard line [Applause] keeps it going Smith could at least have the statue the touchdown tenth catch tonight 67 for the season that in 26 yard touchdown reception by Rod Smith and it's a 12-point Oakland lead yesterday for the first time in the history of the National Football League a team in the last 30 seconds of the game was down by 14 and won the game hello Chicago loz Chicago talked about winning in style highlight films it was the same kid again with the scepter was it a break [Applause] Anderson for the two-point conversion to take it in and make it a 10-point game Raiders are in a very loose zone defense on this route by Ryan Smith it's going to run through the entire defense you can see that nobody is guarding him because they're just playing their areas farhat got time to throw and when you have time to throw against the zone this is usually the result and then the two-point conversion second one tonight for Denver first one on the ground speaking of yesterday's action out when we give it up for Marty Schottenheimer Aloha that doesn't look dead to me there's Pat Bowlen the owner of the Denver Broncos who has seen better times than tonight talking about Marty Schottenheimer people gave that team up for dead you're right believe in your system Marty kept saying I'm a teacher I believe in this system darn if he hasn't righted that ship and in what is turning out to be a very competitive NFC East and I say that use that word comparative because it's not a very good division they've had as you look at the anticipated kicks on side about a third of the time the kicking team recovers it and clearly this falls into that category bowl has to go 10 yards your pants and as a flag [Applause] if Broncos were offside to begin with it's going to be a moot point here Jerry Porter comes up with the football now one of the Broncos had a hole shot there that came up like the winter nationals [Applause] Italy's decline first down [Applause] these two teams will meet again at the end of the season toward the end of the season what an effort by Jerry Porter as Ian Gould low bridge ISM detron Smith with a little love tap there we mentioned these two teams don't like each other Nats these guys make the hat film that McCoys look like the Brady chief Jackson pointing that phrase one day every year as a key geologists oh I've got a couple of teams that don't like each other very much I got the Big Uglies in the trenches yeah Keith will be at Pasadena this week this run Ducks take on the Bruins what Keith will be doing the national championship game this year at the Rose Bowl what ski steal he refuses to go past Barstow now as far as that's a coach travels ideal next year to big Malibu Kelly Hayes George Hill our gang up here Jeff Bentley look they rub grew this hair oh that's not good Fred Goodell e2s Chacon from the game bringing to the game from Oakland Howard Katz our executive producer Bob Tom's director of production and the the gang all moving and moss and monster and mass to Nashville what is it de Roberto durán would tell you it's on a rolling group gathers no moss if brother love's traveling salvation show on the Nashville what are we gonna eat there bang speaking of moss we'll see Randy in two weeks it's the Giants in Minnesota as we look ahead we've got Tampa Bay at st. Louis ouch that hurts no matter how late it is Tim Brown serving a sort of a cheerleader here filling everybody and get up one more time he brought us on the air with Eric Dickerson he wants to take us off the air he does and that's going to do it so Jon Gruden finally gets a win over the Denver Broncos and Mike Shanahan's mark now is 11 and 2 against his ex team Broncos limping home for and for Raiders 6 and 1 and very close as we mentioned to the top to an unbeaten season their only loss this year was that last-second loss to Miami on that brilliant play by Jay Fiedler [Applause] play the game interviews and a rap coming up from Oakland when Raiders got walked dead bird [Music] Raiders 1 in 38 28 let's go to Eric I mean with really an enriched mouth concussion in the first half how do you feel right now I don't know anything about that mild concussion that felt pretty good you know I just got up on the head but we hung in here we battled and we made some big points in the past again they really helped us out that was that the game plan to exploit them through there not really we felt like we could be aggressive in our approach but the same time we wanted to try run the ball a little bit thought we had a pretty good mix but we really heard him with some big passes thank you rich ok let's start all right Eric Tim Brown 9 catches 95 yards 2 touchdowns why were you so effective tonight well you know we just thought that if they play regular defense we could do some things and they play regular defense most of the time they didn't really come up in challenges so you know in that situation I win and you know I was able to get some things done tonight and it helped the team out coming into this game Jon Gruden was Owen six against the Broncos how special was this win do you think for him personally it was special you know but we couldn't focus on that you know this this game doesn't win the Super Bowl for us so all year all we've been talking about is one game at a time this is one win for us and next we've got a big game in Seattle we got to be ready for it thanks so much Tim
