overthrew lewis and that's the second turnover against pittsburgh well you know you talk about the past frankly the thing you talk about about on first down in there don you should try to take away the obvious period today than they did in a championship game the whole game a year ago davis and he stopped at the 22-yard line of pittsburgh by jack lambert really an intended move by oakland they're going to check him out no matter how good or what his reputation is he hasn't played much later than three casper tight ends back no gain no blunt plant homes this is a 38 yard attempt the

oakland goes right back 60 yards this is a high kick settling down to mike collier he's after the 15. 20. finds roone 40 and they just flipped him up he was nearly gone an extra man here on third down

pocket and he has a first down he went to the 40-yard line of oakland i'd said he's been outstanding in this cold just two or three years ago they were booing him here now he first settled down last year at the end of the year there goes bradshaw to the locker room listen to the ovation for gary bradshaw let him in again a bad day for a quarterback here today but he hit over 60 of his passes [Applause] it sure is and it's oakland's ball out of the world i think somebody took that ball away from him in there i think he kind of slid into the huddle hendricks on it 83 that is the 12th turnover of the game minute and a half to go and they're trailing 16 a spread formation we have morris bradshaw now three wise receivers saver fires to bradshaw he has them all and he hands on to it first down at the 47-yard line of pittsburgh [Applause] to the other [Applause] there's a pass complete coming across latterly was uh cyani [Applause] paul with 24 seconds to go 17 out of 40. he's going in the end zone and it is the bradshaw george blanda favor to hold he kicks it up and the kick is good all right 12 seconds to go now that makes it three four 16-10 six seven eight nine ten looks like they got ten men out there now and there's the onside kick let's see what it is [Applause] [Applause] and that's it there he goes with the bottom the branch branch he cut it has the ball and fights his way oh he's not out of bounds it's all over and look at that france cut the ball down around the 15-yard line but couldn't fight his way out of bounds that's giving him the best ever the raiders went down to the wires just as much of the team ever could and almost a hopeless position john madden disappointed again [Applause] but reversed it went for the field goal came back and went for the onside kick his position was almost unbelievably hopeless and yet on that last play they had the ball in the pittsburgh 15-yard line well that's it the pittsburgh steelers again have won
