Cleveland Browns vs New York Giants 1985 1st Half Week 13

selfish today from Giants Stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey it's the Cleveland Brown versus the New York Giants occupy LA from anheuser-busch with half the alcohol of our regular business sometimes it's the perfect thing to say buy RadioShack a division of Tandy corporation and by Burger King aren't you hungry for Burger King herb it is an overcast dark day lights are on here at Giants Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands that's the setting for this important game for both the Giants and the Browns in the NFC East the Giants at 8:00 and for a half game behind Dallas with the Cowboys Phoebe McHargue shows on Thanksgiving Day in the AFC Central Cleveland at six and six tied for first with Pittsburgh one game in front of Cincinnati and Houston hi everybody Marvel Bob Griese and the major question going into today's game who will be at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns will it be gary Danielson despite that injured shoulder will it be the rookie Bernie Kosar that's the talk around here Marvin last week Danielson only throwing nine passes winning against the Cincinnati Bengals they won't be able to do that today I think you're gonna see a little bit more Bernie Kosar and for the first time in many years the Giants have been doing it on the ground the rush has been strong and they have been doing it with a combination of Joe Morris and the rookie from Kentucky George Adams 113 yards last week in the win against the st. Louis Cardinals Joel Morris fumbled two times early in the first quarter they yanked him I'm sure that both of them will be ready to play today and as has become traditional when Bob Griese is involved with a telecast in fact fans all over the nation anticipating what Bob likes to call his keys to the game first the Cleveland Browns they're not tough today the Cleveland Browns have to be able to throw the football Bernie Kosar has got to put it up and they have to win a little bit differently than they did what about the Giants well they're gonna have to run they lost Lionel Manuel last week for the season with a hamstring injury they've got to be able to run the ball a little bit better and there is body Schottenheimer 42 year old head coach of the Cleveland Browns spent 11 years of his assistant coach of the NFL including free with the Giants under bill osbahr grand there is Bill Parcells a homegrown product from Englewood New Jersey his third year as head coach he took over for rape Perkins for brows waffle tongs and they will receive here's the kickoff from paratroopers this is what young but 25 yard line stop by Robbie Jones and it will be a rookie from Miami 22 year old brake hose on and a look at the offensive alignment outstanding running backs Kevin Mack a rookie by way of the LA Express of the USFL out of Clemson and earnest Byner offensive line spearheaded by the center my crab pushed down from the 28 for the brown [Music] jerrycan I'd force about the Giants defensively with Curtis MacGuffin Jim Bert Leonard Marshall thirteen and a half sacks for Marshall leads the NFL outstanding core of linebackers Lawrence Taylor eleven and a half sex and in the secondary Patterson Hill canard and Williams pickup of one second and nine those are has to up four down as a starter has been disappointed [Music] Carrie reasons an underrated linebacker all the coverage Ozzie Newsome number 82 will be a marked man in the secondary of the giant you see reasons right here hanging all over him codes are scrambling out of the pocket really just throwing it away from the defensive man as much as he was throwing it the Newsome on that play and there's gary Danielson did not work bus during the week because of that sore right shoulder it's a per and nine [Music] and those are going to eat service for Brian Brenner Barbara Marr that was just good courage by Perry Williams on the play the ball a little bit under thrown and the gym out defensively with a big series on the opening series of the ballgame and Jeff gusset coming on to punt from inside his 15 Phil McConkey in a second year out of the Naval Academy is back at his 27 yard line gossip very rarely kicks in practice he has a tired leg he's gotten off quite a few kicks of that he played in the USFL before coming to the brown this time got away the 44-yard punt and the Giants will go to work we are just underway at Giants Stadium Joe Morris back in the starting lineup however police car five will serve as a primer leave the plucking bank instead of Rob carpenter bar boats rookie out of friggin Yago has had some difficulties so with the coordination of the staff with Phil Simms although they feel they have it all ironed out start out for the 28 and go right to Mars gang tackled by the combination of outside linebacker Clay Matthews of the free safety Donna Rogers Reggie camp Bob Doris Carl Hairston upfront camp having an excellent year seven and a half sacks and a very fine group of linebackers three number one draft choices and Eddie Johnson is probably playing as well as the other three rounds also solid of the secondary but it feels gross so Rodgers and Dixon a very physical at the corners now Rob carpenter has come on with a second down and nine [Music] macaques strong saftey owl gross getting a piece of it barn if you like pitchers duels or defensive struggles I think we're probably in here for one today we got threatening skies we may get some rain but even if we don't these two teams pounds defensively ranked number four in the National Football League and the Giants ranked number three probably go to see a tough defensive struggle it is a third down and five [Music] works by the grubs and the sack for Clay Matthews so Matthews our booklets coming up with his sack of the season watch the protection here as you see the little twist inside Matthews 57 yet a receiver open downfield but with the rice there is no way to get the ball downfield now this is Sean landeta having an excellent year second of the NFC flight Brian Brennan

the other side had a long shot off see you soon [Music] this trucker has not caught a pass thus far this season they have not looked his way that frequently that time Cozart is this is one of the situations you have to complete these at the safe short pass when Ecostar putting it to him right in his hand his drops the football but you're going to have to come up with those types of receptions to get a drive going against a very tough giant deep end and it's a third down and seven from the 42 Clarence weathers is out to the left side now clothes are what marika Donna the free safety IVA covered so close our old for his horse poor little pressure up the middle that time I'm sure the Giants want to get pressure up the middle divorce birdee the scramble to this rider to his left side if he were a scrambling quarterback they wouldn't try that they would try to continue and here is gossip who has been more a directional putter than the Browns expected during preseason he did get the distance oh we got a bomb inside the 30-yard line so a time out and we'll be back right after this world hello with winter setting in some people are worried about drinking a wine cooler when they are

flak jacket worn by Kevin Mac of the Cleveland Browns and often worn by Bob Griese here in the booth when things get tough doesn't seem to be that much protection though he has the bruised rib does this this is a different type of flak jacket doesn't give you as much protection but the thing it does it's soft it allows him to carry the football along the side now if he had a hard plastic one it would be a little bit more slippery I would say on the side carrying the football he rides off the football and a Mac just passed Jerry Brown looking at rushing record and here's our firing [Applause] against the quarterback [Music] Mary Williams 23 can't believe that he did anything wrong you cannot you cannot impede the pass over any receiver are the defensive back to get to the football I don't see anything there Marv he didn't feed his running into a Blaine where he was running he didn't block his position or his opportunity to catch the football that was that was it nothing that I saw there at the end of that play 26-yard [Music] shouting Davis eye on the backfield first one we lead the way [Applause] [Music] by cheering guitar Davis the specialist in goal line situations where's number 38 areas eight season out of Alabama thirty-eight Johnny Davis leading up into the hole good defense did you see the entire giant defense getting in there different part of it and a second and goal from just outside the to Dow Bank has replaced Davis so Bank [Music] [Music] [Applause] a spider who earlier late in the first quarter for Fito right back on the field and he has scored his faint touch title the seasons that gift for Browns believe watch the offensive line now that's blocking everybody will scoop and try to block the next man to him watch the offensive line as they slide all to their right and try and block the defensive line now you've got the linemen block now we got to get the linebackers block just get a pad just get a standoff and a good running back should get into the end zone and here is Matt Barr and he makes it 26 for 26 on the season [Music] soon someone who doesn't know anything about you could assign you a new long-distance coming they won't know how much

you driven a Ford lately by the astonishingly simple new Sony Handycam all the excitement of video movies now on the palm of your hand and by the sperry corporation marhaba with Bob Griese from Giants Stadium in the new jersey metal apps and there is Perry Williams the right quarter who had that controversial as an appearance call the interception by similarly Washington [ __ ] playbook from about two weeks ago the off side kick to roll the Sally auto-recovery let's get back to that interference fault you'll see the receiver Brian Brennan have a race with Perry William now watch the left hand of boy Em's right here number 23 it stretches out but he's looking back for the ball the rule reads Martha player cannot significantly hinder the progress or opportunity of another player to catch the goal I don't think that that arm sticking out there since he was looking back significantly hinted an opportunity to get the football has a first down over 34 [Music] and is just shy of the first down Matthews and Johnson combining on the stop just about 20 what nothing come in the second quarter boomer esiason hitting James Brooks on a 57-yard pass play Ken Abreu with two touchdowns so 21 zip read goals coming in at 5 and 7 they call it a first doubt it is a first down at the 44 [Music] I wasn't a mixed-up carthon just slipped he doesn't get an opportunity to carry the football that many times he was probably a little excited and just actually slipped on the turf number 44 right there slips as you see Sims was ready to give him the ball and now he's looking around so now you wait and give it to me where should I take off running I've been there before contestants got a long a football year for Maurice Parvati they had the jump from the generals of the USFL that as you say rarely handled the ball to the front for Bobby Johnson and at prediction got a piece of it diets have yet to complete up to a wide receiver it has been simple farro that's for that and that was a big play by him for Dixon you know the Cleveland Brown corners Benefield and different light to play man-to-man coverage and party Schottenheimer says if the offense wants to know what defense are in all they have to do is look at our defensive backs when they break the huddle if they're smiling it's man-to-man coverage if they're frown and it's a zone and the brown style with the extra defensive backs third down and eight from the 46 we are early second quarter [Music] Johnson was the only receiver in sight now Simmons will take the booze for that play but a lot of times you have options and the receivers have an option to run one another and depending on the coverage now Bobby Johnson obviously ran one route and read a different defense than Phil Simms was reading sha Glen tena back in his 30-yard line Brian Brennan in a second year out of Boston College awaiting the punt flag has been thrown here's Brennan five an hour and he hit me pushing about 36 yard punt and a seven yard return [Music] and apparently though frankly it was inadvertent flag as the officials like to try this year bigger isn't better that's why in the handycam recorders it fits in one hand just so we can shoot to capture two hours of rich colleges tiny video then play it back on his little handycam deck you can even copy what you've shot on VHS revealing but the memories can last forever so instead of a big

catch live Phil McConkey here's the referee Tom Dooley 47-yard punt by Gossett and a procedure call I guess the brown [Music] party shot the hayver took over last year for San Fran [Music] hottelet Ford poor after Cleveland began at one of the seventh so they finished five and eleven oh well they have one of the NFL's strongest defensive units and that is carried over to this season although the

of people consider Sperry a safe choice they don't know how right they are in the past you saw a big Ford 4x4 pickup carry a Chevy pickup up his monster mountain of folders but now we're going to top ourselves by carrying a Chevy and towing a Dodge pickup of the same mountain because this year Ford has the most horrible line-up of v8 engines gas and diesel of any figure and only Ford has independent front suspension for ground grabbing traction no wonder they're America's best-selling full-size pickup build American trucks are built the highest 'men trophy for half a century it has symbolized excellence in collegiate football its recipients and on a roll of distinguished athletes men of outstanding personal achievement live from New York the 51st presentation of the Heisman Trophy if it's special it's on NBC Sports it is a litany 46 degree day [Music] Bob she has the extra lining of the sweater being from I am NOT able to take this type of brother first out for the 28 yard line Joe Parrs back on the scene out to the 33 out grouse the strong safety the stop so the Giants who are going with the atoms after that oppressive series five bars go back down to the little guys I'll tell you they say 46 on that thermometer but it's a lot cooler down there on the field main reason being is that the field is wet and once you get your clothing wet it's a lot cooler you roll around the fielders your ni you see blazer I tried not to fall off the field as much as I could second and five from the 33 [Music] [Music] 47-yard return on the second time service has been kicked off this first half throws his fourth interception of the year now gross it has perfect season out of Arizona scoring his first NFL touchdown and for Cleveland their first defensive touchdown since 1983 Browns leadeth 22 seven and here is patois looking to add the extra point so for serve intercepted twice G interceptions on the air hearing it from the crowd and we'll take another look I don't think you saw out gross the strength of this Cleveland team is their defensive linebackers and defensive backs he's got plenty of time to throw nobody did his face gross has good coverage on Morris baited he waited for the throw-in and cut right into him you know Cleveland is 28 in the National Football League and takeaways coming into this ball game they've gotten two big ones already here today five minutes gone by second quarter and the Giants are now trailing by the score of 21 7 Phil Simms who ranks number three in the NFC but has had his ups and downs bubbles have certainly heard him and 15 interceptions of the year he was in a separate of the final minutes of a couple of losses while attempting to drive the Giants to go-ahead score so he has hurt the criticism a retired by Kenny Hill [Music] you know every quarterback that has ever played in New York especially has heard the boos louder than every quarterback to this place there's not one quarterback that hasn't played [Music] Oh June to turn to cheers but if it's just the fact that the fans just satisfied with the way he's played and I'm sure the filth in to satisfy the waist rate also [Music] 24 [Music] 26 what is going through your mind as you're hearing as you say every quarterback is hurt from time to time even Bob preseason well I think the first time you hear you're hurt by it I think if you care at all how you perform you're hurt by and then as you realize that hey it's not only you that gets everybody that played the position then you kind of understand where the fans are coming from they want you to play well second and seven [Music] [Music] thanks one of the outstanding linebackers in the National Football League gets in position you saw the giant went across his face he did not go away he was in his own coverage obviously since thought he was going to continue on he will be able to throw it through our banks was but a good smart linebacker like Bank didn't go for the fold go to the face and a passing situation third and seven from the 27th [Applause] capacity from Myron Williams hasn't caught a pass since the fourth week of the season he's only caught five coming into this ballgame he has the speed not a lot of moves but he has the speed and he catched the football I think we have to give credit to the brown defense one of the best defenses in the NF pick up first completion to a white receiver forceps and here [Music] certainly get the job he just stated Minnifield space long enough for the speed of Mars to carry him by and coming into the ballgame we said one of the keys with a giant where they have to run the football that they could rely on him to carry with his past because of the absence to lion-o manual it certainly are running very well today and Erik Schubert attempting the extra point [Music] yo Waris going 58 for the score tripping tripping penalty called against the Giants right here we pause briefly for station identification this is the NBC television network this is w NBC TV New York Marv Albert Bob Griese from Giants Stadium Lawrence Taylor was called for the trip so they've overpack Eric Schubert will attempt the extra point once again Jeff Rutledge holding [Music] this one they come back to hoist for Giants Lawrence Taylor on the previous attempt called for a tripping penalty and on the subsequent extra point and effort the giant fists so they're down eight points so the brows with the 21 hurt cheat leave watch right here this is Benefield he's going to come down and here's the man's go to miss the block as we see this way if you watch to the lower part of your screen you'll see McConkey coming into your picture right now he'll get the block on Minnifield as he as you see him right here makes the contact now he's going to stay with him and stay with him until the speed right here he just runs right by not a great block but good enough [Music] watch 51 and 58 Johnson and Cousineau Johnson misses the tackle Cousineau doesn't have the speed to get there Rogers misses and the speed carried him down into the end zone [Music] maintain possession the middle he called a middle return you don't see many Giants in good position to make the tackle [Music] the ball comes out when he hits the ground was a good call then watts on the hip so the Browns first down from the 43 86 Brennen emotion this was packed to go Elvis Patterson the left corner able to follow him across head coach Bill Parcells refer to as toast last year because he was burned frequently not the case this season as he took over the starting position what with mark teams a holdout and Patterson has been able to hold on about the starting slot five interceptions one for a touchdown and playing very well as you say second out of eight from the 45 halfway through second quarter Browns for the 2113 lead on the Giants back nearly broken stopped a pit filled by Harry Carson Karim Browns cart of six and six tied for first with Pittsburgh game is buck Cincinnati and Houston so who has had a rough first half intercepted twice Varis may have bailed him out with that third out of seven going 58 yards for the touchdown a bring the words out of three for the brown [Music] most are through a good pass had good coverage by the Giants really do it the only place that he possibly could watch Taylor on the outside and could blocking him a little bit of holding going on area with it he had a tearaway Jersey I think Lawrence would have gotten to him Tanner Tanner is looking for that referee look at him he's saying table Julie's is he's holding me hard to talk to him a little bit and the punting hood it is odd here is gossip flag thrown fair catch call Palma cocky but a penalty marker is down 46-yard punt if it stands up but it is a procedure penalty against the brown seven and a half remaining in this first half the frowns in front of the Giants by the score of 2113 and we've had a little bit of everything 42 yard run for the touchdown by Kevin Mack [Music] and it's Eddie Johnson there is number 51 aside from the rump buyback moments ago Morris went 58 yards for the score now gross on the interception of 737 yards for a school volcana by George Adams you know Marva didn't they didn't figure to be that way with these two good defense was coming into the ball game of course the brown defense says intercept the two passes leading two touchdowns one interception for a touchdown but certainly you didn't think he'd have this much scoring this early in the ballgame first down from the 15th Adams [Music] rotating on Ceres joe parr still in there the last time now George Adamson back picked up a yard a second and 9 9 out of the 16 let me go at halftime NFL 85 with Bob Costas and a close-up look Lyle Alzado will be on hand for a 21-yard password Morrow is going to run a inside pattern now watch the route of this man right here he's going to come down and take this linebacker out of the way with him so that Sims control the ball over his head to his tight end that's Johnson 51 now watch what Johnson daughter's right now I see ones up there that's what he's expecting the time before when banks almost intercepted the ball but banks didn't go for the go for the bait and a first down of the 32 send off for play action let's see what they call it was pumped up by Adams we go with an incomplete represent complete the Giants of course hold on to the ball it's hot it is a fumble recovered by the ground who are indicating that is what the call should be Browns pointing in the other direction [Music] like he's alright Richie camps the left defensive end auto-recovery so George Adams who had some couple properties as a water earlier in the season this time bubbles off the hip as a was a good koi had possession of the ball both feet were clearly on the ground and it was just knocked loose from the football let's take another look as you see right there to the left yeah he had both feet on the ground that was a good call third turnover for the Giants Browns do not have any Browns take over at the giant 26 now this is earnest Byner they are very Williams father stop by finer Lawrence Taylor the dominant player on this defense no doubt about it droves aside the blocking wide receiver throws away three or four different ones and family makes the tackle second thigh brows now go with credit to the right weathers in the slot right five twenty remaining first half routes 21 Giants 13 again here he's checkoff [Music] [Music] to these chip Burt auto-recovery Lawrence Taylor comes from the right side of your screen now what schools our quarterback has got to have a clock in his head he has to know how much time he has he's four he has to get rid of the football Tanner coming all the way around well as lose like Burt may have got on it he did never will this plan actually to be exact mara saw the carrot now grossly strong safety stop take a look at large Taylor tied in is blocking only met Jack suited for him both call as to whether or not his arm was forward when he was throwing the football the rule was that it was not and a fumble that tied in trying to block lawrence taylor is nothing Abydos tackle Jim Burke on the recovery the Parcells called for a slow go he may say he's missing some ducks on his vice [Music] [Music] and he Johnston number 51 getting to them the only man of those four linebackers not a first-round draft choice nobody picked him up they'll finally number 61 Godfrey gets a piece of him and sim thinking a tough blow like he bent his leg back underneath him Eddie Johnson only his first full season as a starter was calling the defensive signals of Madeline well Giants have a third of 10 from the 33 four and a half left first half [Music] Father Brown coming from a wife defensive end collecting his sack of the year here's Carl Harrison right here now watch the defensive game these two men will come in he'll come all the way around and make the sack on since both defensive linemen on the Left come in he has the speed and foot quickness to make that big loop and still get to the quarterback aisle awesome hide on the play here's Valletta [Music] the fair catch across the punty 5-yard line 50 over by laquetta his best of the day and with 405 remaining in this first half the Browns will go back to the offense check of the scoreboard Denver in front of Pittsburgh Denver coming off the tough overtime loss at the LA Coliseum last week Boomer Esiason Cincinnati all over the Houston Oilers in the second quarter philadelphia brought a Minnesota 30 nothing under new coach Wayne Phillips yeah in front [Music] 37 [Music] never Park apparently able to recover although the Giants feel that they were able to come up with the ball but the official save no Bernie Kosar just dropping that ball let's see if a CFO when a lineman hits the saws is pulling behind him yeah right there you 62 Milkha actually hits the ball as Kosar is trying to get it away from the center a little bit of slowness on Bernie's part maybe the guard pulling a little bit too quick but that happens now men second and eleventh the 26 boost of emotion [Music] [Applause] with the Giants second sack of the day that time co-star was a [ __ ] in his head felt the pressure that Lord Taylor winds up putting on him but Burt got away from his blocker and got in and made this act bird 64 really an undersized nose tackle an overachiever not very big it doesn't a whole lot but had the big home [Music] illegal motion on the brows declined by the Giants third out 16 now from the 21 yard line 350 left and this first half of brown 20 watt of giant 13 [Applause] [Music] urging the defense on [Applause] [Music] by fairest fighter off-the-cuff off from Kozar he went 17 yards to pick up the first down we didn't figure Kosar to throw this ball down feel his strength is his running back you think I'm here the little jump that everybody come in now jump it off and let what are you running back to safe play barney Schottenheimer doing a great job with his team Marty play his strength and that's his defense and not making any mistakes Utley his defense already turning the ball over three times for him here today minor only attempt round draft pick last year he went from elbow to elbow first down from the 38 yard line whose art getting it away we capture astride and has the first down CGR pick up some fluffy coverage by the Giants well the field is wet it did rain in the it's not sloppily wet but it is wet and you ever

hamstring pull Giants also have just atkinson for a while Schubert though has hit on eight of nine hit the upright on a 28-yard attempt last week for his first Miss while we resumed following the

Stacie Robinson who was activated today back on the roster broke his left hand the week before opening day but with the injury suffered by line Emanuel Robinson is packed on the club Giants were considering looking at some other people and they may bring some wide receivers in tomorrow or Tuesday Marcus look them over but they activated Robinson for this ballgame even considered John

scamper persimmons [Music] against the brown in decline here's bill Simms looking downfield with good protection run for 106 yards this year on 33 scrambles he's not a great scrambler but efficient

bit earlier now he's just getting in a little bit of rough activity rious to have one timeout left down to 19 seconds [Applause] Joseph eat the right corner at prefixes so the Giants Brown 2119 fifteen seconds remaining in the first half dear Schubert [Music] I don't think Dixon every new ever knew where this ball was in fact I think he thought the play was over with a lot of times the receiver by his facial expression can kind of give you the idea that the play is over it's going somewhere else watching now if Dixon just turns around he could have intercepted it he turns around late I'm sure Johnson was getting some kind of acting job to say all the play is over with and then when he turned around it was too late the ball was there six plays 80 yards Giants with a very swift thrive with it a minute to three as hampered Dixon I'm sure he's staying right there to Menifee I didn't see the ball I thought the play was over with nobody yells usually somebody hollers when the ball is coming but a very loud stadium sometimes you always can't hear what Don Rogers or someone else may be hollering over to you but you always have to play your receiver until the play is over the Browns by one I don't hear him booing Phil Simms at this point good two-minute drill moved to club down very nicely Bob always looking at it from the quarterbacking point of view the swift kick by Schubert and it is covered up Dave Fazoli's the coverage with 13 seconds by fading of a ham and here's Bernie Kosar offensive beautiful think back on so start from there 24 yard line [Music] [Music] the Browns will just kill the clock right here I'm taking any chances so time runs out and that is the end of the first half first half that had its share of explosive plays the Browns leading it at the half by the score of 21 to 20 Cleveland Browns coming in with a season record of 6 of 6 tied for first with Pittsburgh the Giants at 8 and for a half game behind 9 and for Dallas and several significant plays in the first half here simple being picked off by Alex rose just an under throw on the part of Simms maybe didn't even see growth thought the receiver was out there all by himself but here's another key play the missed extra point after the tripping call on Barnes Taylor the difference in the ball game at this point so Schubert with the longer kick went wide and as a result for Brown says you take a look at the scoring flutter leave the Giants by 120 want to play NFL 85 halftime activities will continue in a moment we'll be back after these messages from your local tonight

now let's go to NFL 85 we welcome those of you who've been watching the Giants and browns or the Patriots and Colts Bob Costas along with Pete axe Thurman Ahmad Rashad let's get you updated Denver and Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh the Broncos lead it by a score of 10 to 6 highlights from that game that has now gone to halftime you would call that a year ago in the playoffs at Denver Chuck Noll Steelers upset the Broncos they come in as a two point favorite today despite the fact that they're just six and six and the Broncos share first with the Raiders in the AFC West at eight and four early confusion for Denver Elway collides with winder it's a 1-yard loss to Gary Andersen field goal is Pittsburgh a three nothing lead in the second quarter but Elway makes it 7-3 Denver on this path to clinch Sampson who beat Dwayne Woodruff and it's 7 3 after the 24 yard touchdown since then Carlos and Anderson have exchanged field goals Gary Anderson by the way has made 14 in a row this season for the Steelers who now trail at 10 6 as they go to the locker rooms in the game many of you a wanna leave one in front of a Giants 2120 at the half a game we expected to be a defensive struggle instead a wide open affair the Giants plagued by three first half turnovers highlights from that game Bill Parcells and company needs to win - again for jatai atop the NFC East with the Cowboys at nine and four early on they take a seven nothing lead on one of Joe Morris's two touchdowns this one from three yards out however Kevin Mack who might go over a thousand yards for the season along with teammate Ernest Byner goes 42 yards still in the first quarter breaking tackles near the line of scrimmage and then after he pushed through the middle he sheds a few more defenders goes in from 42 and ties the game at 7 apiece after earnest Byner scored from the two to make it 14-7 Cleveland here's one of those three giant turnovers al gross with the interception on the Phil Simms pass we're sailing down the sideline 37 yards 21 7 Browns Morris again however this one will cover 58 yards he had 88 yards unofficially for the half sideline he goes the guy profiled him a pregame show by Ahmad Rashad and responding to that attention with a strong first half they missed the extra point however and so they trailed by one instead of being tied at halftime here is their last touchdown Bobby Johnson just before half-time takes in the 29 yarder from Phil Simms the Giants are thin at wide receiver with Ernest gray having been waived and picked up by the Cardinals Lionel Manuel hurt but Bobby Johnson still very much a presence and that missed extra point could prove very important in the game as the Giants trail by one at halftime Houston playing at Cincinnati they dive down to the third quarter Cincinnati leads it bare 2810 let's take a look at some highlights Boomer Esiason got his team out to a 21 the first quarter Larry Ken Abreu doing much of the damage he scored three first half touchdowns we're talking about a 275 pound fullback here folks that's why two defenders can't stop him and he goes from 7 yards out to make it 7 Oh in the first still in the first quarter at the Ken Abreu school hon James Brooks takes the swing pass from Esiason and goodbye it covers 57 yards 21 nothing is the score then Ken Abreu scored from 3 yards out on this play early in the second quarter his third touchdown 4th unanswered for Cincinnati they led 28 10:28 nothing Houston came back with 10 points before the half ended Zende haunts a 25-yard field goal and then on the last play before intermission the Hail Mary deflected up in the air and Oliver Luck's pass winds up in the arms of Butch willful performer giant for the touchdown to make it 28 10 they're early now in the 3rd quarter Philadelphia playing at home and at the half they lead Minnesota 20 to nothing Ron Jaworski has a pair of touchdown passes the Vikings have been hapless their only threat thus far ended when yarn Stena Rood missed a field goal from only 19 yards out New Orleans at home against the Rams they've gone to the 3rd non 3 Morten Andersen field goals the Saints lead at 9 to 3 Eric Dickerson for the Rams and Earl Campbell for the Saints each with 45 yards rushing in the first half New England at Indianapolis also at halftime and the 24 to 17 at one time they had a 17-3 lead and doing it without the injured Steve Grogan who's gone for the season and so Tony Eason is in charge now and he got them in front 7 nothing in the first quarter on the slant pattern to Irving prior then with the score 10 7 in the second quarter still in favor of the Patriots Mike Pagal tries to throw and he'll be intercepted by Fred Marion who now has seven for the season and Marion's return puts the Patriots back in business deep in Colt territory and they capitalized with the veteran Stanley Morgan who has really benefited from having Irving Pryor on the other side making the catch and bullying through a defender into the endzone and they led at one point 17 the three however the Colts came back with a pair of touchdowns and that evened it up at 17 before Craig James scored from four yards out just before the half to give the Patriots the lead again by a touchdown if they win they move into a first-place tie with the Jets in the AFC East Green Bay and Tampa Bay in a genuine snowstorm at Green Bay better than a foot of snow as Freddy Lynn Dickey scored from a yard out on the second quarter for the Packers then early in the third Gary Ellis a 35 yard run it's 14 nothing Green Bay and Ahmad you played in your share of bad weather in the past I really have I mean in Minnesota but that that's when it becomes fun because you can't make a mistake if you fall down you can always say you slip but let's get back to the guy I told you this guy was too small 88 yards two touchdowns in the first he's too small but I talked to Bill Parcells and he said that Joe really had a problem last week he had two fumbles and adversity he that does one or two things to a player even you come back strong or you fade away Parcell said Joe Morris is the type of guy that he sat him down let him think about it a while and he's responding to that today he's playing a whale of a game out there to metalman thanks Mart NFL 85 halftime activities will continue following these messages from your local station Mudd the a3 our premier the intimate story we never knew John and Yoko I love you [Music] taking off engines the millions of people in this country it's become an obsession it's without reason and citizen introduces the world's thinnest water-resistant watch we can take inches off your waist we can at least take millimeters off your wrist citizens ultra-thin collection the smartest engineering ever strapped to a wrist at fortune off the source his life gotten worse for blacks in America's big cities tomorrow morning at 9:00 continually now at halftime earlier today the visit with the Raiders Lyle Alzado who now is trying to battle back from a career-threatening injury that torn Achilles tendon he won't be back until next year at the earliest but he's traveling with the team with the Raiders in Atlanta and here's our visit earlier Lyle Alzado the same question has to be asked to you and I'm sure you've heard it before as the one that's been asked of Joe Theismann for the past couple of weeks mid-30s serious injury is the season over or is the career over no it's just the season that's over Bob I I don't you know when you have a serious injury it just depends upon who has the injury and I've always believed that if an injury takes place especially to me I can always come back from it physically we always believe I can do things other people can't do is it difficult to be with the ballclub there you are in Atlanta right now and then stand on the sidelines and know you can't contribute well that you know the emotional part of it's very difficult for me to sit there and watch and not be able to actually go in there physically and help but at the same time you got to look at the fact that I get a free plane ride and I'm with my friends telling all kinds of jokes any that can be shared here in this forum wrong but on the other hand this is less you more open dates and you can go on The Tonight Show or on Letterman more frequently than before that's quite true but after the the Carson shy have really been asked to do anything but this and I want you to know that I will honor this invitation being on your show for always what about the post career career of Lyle Alzado whatever that football career comes to an end we see you constantly in commercials you've got a good agent working for you fella well you know the things that have come my way have been have been pretty nice you know the commercial work and everything but at the same time you know I I happen to respect this organization here al Davis has done a lot of things for me and I don't particularly want to leave the situation until he tells me that it's time to leave and he hasn't told me that yet as a matter of fact he specifically told me he'd like me to come back and play next year all the things the field to still have to be secondary to my football career until al Davis tells me otherwise there have been scripts and things sent to me and and I have been offered things that have very intriguing to me but at the same time I still feel that I'm an athlete and until that feeling goes away that's my first love my first priority how good are these writers now even - Lyle Alzado I think they're very good Shawn Jones the gentleman who took my place is big and strong he's fast he plays a run very well he has some problems rushing the passer but at the same time that just comes with experience how we long in my opinion is probably the best defensive lineman overall in football today and built for Kel as fast becoming one of the best knows men in football so they're good we know the Bears are the best team in the NFL right now outside of the Raiders who's the best team in the AFC who you have to beat if you want to get to the Super Bowl I think it'd probably be the Jets this young I'm surprised to it the Jets mainly because in the opening game we played them in bread and sub them pretty good 31 nothing they obviously came around had a team meeting came around football at the same time though you can always you can never count out a team like Miami so I think it's us Miami and the Jets you know New England's a possibility but at the same time Chicago is not the best team in football I think the Raiders are wild thanks very much we hope to see you back in uniform next year all right thanks a lot Lyle Alzado a man working to overcome his inhibitions NFL 85 halftime activities will continue in just a minute stay with it at the half a giant stadium the Browns buy one over the Giants 2125 outfit with Bob Ricci and his bob traditionally points out at the start of each game he focuses it on thee the keys and he pointed out the off-camera moments ago the quote that has the most points when my final gun goes off should win the ballgame actually the Browns you said must throw the ball effectively well and they're throwing it but not to effectively I any codes are thrown for 80 yards 86 yards or whatever but the big play in the first half was for the for the ground with the interference call in the endzone throwing the ball got a tuft of a great deal they so defense is playing a lot better and creating some things that Giants very effectively on the ground a combination of atoms and bars and it was Morris with that spectacular 58 yard run for the touchdown well here it is right here are you going to see these two pulling around this way Morris will take a block here but the main block will be McConkey on Minnifield right here take a look as we'll see the play coming right at you coming out of the backfield Morris gets the call now the two offensive linemen watch the bar right here hold right there you see the great block thrown right there by one of the offensive lineman and now McConkey down here is going to throw a key block not a devastating block see if you hold it so right here you'll see the block not a great block but just good enough to time in a field up so Morris can use a speed run by and and that they have run more they they have needed to run more and they've taken some pressure off fulfill Tim and Mars 88 yards on 10 that carries look at the quarterback statistics Kosar 6 415 86 yards Sims 404 21 but intercepted twice well the blinking three the big turnovers right there two interceptions in a fumble tell the story for the brown the missed extra point by Erik Schubert the tripping penalty Lawrence Taylor leading to the 29 yard kick for the extra point instead of the 19 and sugar was off the line here's Adams on the kickoff return [Music] George Adams the number one brand pick for the Giants rookie from Kentucky going 28 yards on the return stopped by Chris rockin and here comes Phil Simms and the Giants offensive unit quarterback comparison Sims petting those two costly interceptions but bringing the team back late in the first half a big good for Morrison Martha the running back Williams in motion and here's Barnes that time the Browns all over him led by Clay Matthews the outside linebacker of the inside band and he jumps it defensively it's camp Golic Hairston up front Johnson who's an eye on Matthews outstanding group of nine factors that he field grows from Rogers and Dixon in the secondary but now second out of nine number 33 aperture at Mars are the setbacks [Music] three for the brows play Matthews with his second of the day at number six on the season [Music] Leigh Matthews just running over as Simms is hurt it's a lower ankle or knee problem and he's going to have to come off [Music] I guess he's he's walking it off but take a look from The Blind Side the left side of your picture are is pushed back you see right there he's right ankle as he was set to throw actually as old man Billy art stepped on his ankle simple hang in has a bird out at 15 and hobbling back out of the shotgun [Music] immediately short of the first time this is a top duty for these quarterbacks today as you look at number seventeen Jeff Rutledge it was ready to go on the field but two very very active and Sims and parcels of talking it over Shortland better back at his 15-yard line Brian Brennan [Music] was walking [Music] there is no much of a gary reason let's see if we can pick it up number 55 whoo watching it till antenna right there as you see the path that Rogers number 20 what if taken would not have the rough to pasture [Music] great table do be looking for some assistance while the colleagues now we're going to get any there that just callin his alone 37-yard punt take over from there 33 it's gone five third-quarter Brown please 2120 [Music] Oh circle [Laughter] [Music] first took that ball away from Kevin Mac the officials ruled that he was down but Burt doesn't have his hands on the ball that often and he was heading for the end zone [Music] back picked up water second down and [Music] yards [Music] [Applause] [Music] Spiner the long back able to hang over pass intended for Brian Brennan [Music] all should have been picked off Marv Bernie Kosar says the difference in playing last year in college and playing Michigan pros is that there are no weak players on the defense everybody has the skill the skill level is so much higher than it is in college football and obviously this man right here is a very for the brow 35 [Music] Oh conservative call a typical Brown being in the situation as you take a look at Leonard Marshall number 70 and reasons 54 coming to the outside that Marshall does the janitor damage so a tough defensive series by the Giants and Jeff gusset will quant from inside us 20 mikake settling under cocky hadn't closed off so he 47-yard punt
