New York Giants Vs Denver Broncos 12/7/1989 (Full Game)

had the best record in football and we're cruising towards the playoffs but after two consecutive losses the question is are the giants a championship contender who have stumbled or were they never that good today they search for the answers and try to stop the skit [Music] the already playoff bound denver broncos have some familiar faces but recent years weaknesses are this year's strength they now have a running attack and this defense has fans thinking about the orange crushed bubble one more victory clinch's home field advantage throughout the playoffs two super bowl losses still haunt the bronco and this is the first rematch with the giants since new york captured super bowl number 21. [Music] sold out mile high stadium in denver the home of the broncos there's the new york giants visit the first meeting since super bowl number 21. those are the standings in the eastern division the giants and eagles tied atop the eagles have beaten the giants twice as i'm sure you know in the west the denver broncos have clinched the division title they're fighting and playing today for the home field advantage throughout the playoffs the elements the weather obviously will be quite a factor it started snowing last night snowed all morning now it's not coming down quite as hard as it was but it's going to be tough playing conditions hi i'm pat summerhall here with john madden in talking with giant coach bill parcells yesterday i don't think since he's been poaching the giants i've ever seen him with as frustrated an outlook he just doesn't know what to expect of the team after these two tough losses well he says he really can't gauge his team now because they lost two tough games to the 49ers and eagles very emotional games and said how are we going to be now how much is that taken out of us physically and emotionally can we come back and now i think one thing phil sims needs confidence i think that his confidence started to dip a little he needs it now i know the way to get that confidence is with a running game that that makes his passing game better in fact if you look at this graphic here you'll see the when they run for over a hundred yards they're 9-0 if they go doink and they come up and they have less than 100 yards they're 0-4 i think they have to be able to do that now it's going to be tough today because they left two players home they don't have their starting tackle jumbo elliott didn't make the trip and they're starting wide receiver odessa turner so that's going to be even more tough for phil sims in the offense on the other side lawrence taylor played a half last week with a broken ankle they say they expected him to play more today then he woke up and he has back spasm today and now they don't even know if you can play at all so we'll be watching that as the game progresses now on the broncos side dan reeves told us yesterday that he has to have his team playing well as they head into the playoffs in addition to that they are probably the healthiest team at the moment in the nfl well that's the thing that i think is so important pat that what they do is the thing that got him they have a better running game now and a better run defense he said that's what got him here with this record and that's what's going to get him through the game today against the giants ken bell and darren carrington back to accept the kickoff from bjorn nitmo snow on the field but not as much as there was earlier they got most of it all as it stacked on top of the tarp they had a tough time getting the tarps off the fields that it could play stayed on his feet for an extra five yards greg jackson made the hit that started him down eloy starts at quarterback for him statistically it hasn't been his best year but he's still plenty good up front harry juriga karts weidel ken lanier clarence k the tight end bobby humphrey has been a great great help to this bronco team melvin bratton starts with him wide receivers johnson and jackson and that's melvin bratton very little john washington wrapped it up lawrence taylor john is not in the lineup let's look at the defense then washington howard and marshall up front banks reasons pepper johnson and johnny cook starting in place of taylor the linebackers and in the secondary collins williams canard and guyton adrian white and sheldon white come in when they use six defensive backs all the way back to throw it screen not enough for a first down stopped by mark collins a gain of five well that must be the thing with lawrence taylor pat is uh yesterday he was out here he practiced the giants came in on friday they practiced here at mile high yesterday lawrence taylor was out there they thought he would play more tonight and i guess he had a back spasm overnight came out here was out here a little while for the pre-game warm-up and then went back in third and two he just took a very little part of the warm-up and then went back 82 yards bobby humphrey the ball carrier did not make the first down those of you who are watching atlanta minnesota welcome to mile high stadium in denver the vikings continue to win they beat atlanta 43-17 it's nothing nothing here with 13-10 left to play in the first quarter pat summerall with john madden it is a first down bobby humphrey has added an element to this denver offense that they haven't had in a long time two tight ends johnson yeah we were talking to bobby humphrey yesterday he said that when he he came out in a supplemental draft remember he could have played for another year in college and when he decided that he had broken his foot twice and decided he didn't want to take another chance in college so he came out and he said maybe the first year he'd just make a little contribution specialties play a little here and there he didn't even dream that he would be a thousand yard runner he's got three more games to get it [Applause] yeah and that is the type of running that this bronco team does so well that delay stuff that draw stuff and dan reeves was saying that this as a rookie the guy has really learned how to read this stuff you see it's a delay he waits he lets the blocking develop he lets things happen finds his holes then boom hits right through it third in a yard [Applause] [Music] broncos at their own 44-yard line yes breton stationing humphrey behind him and he gets the carrier again and gets another first down gary reasons again on the stop with terry canard a gain of four melvin branton is a fullback the broncos are starting two rookies in their backfield you see that they they lined up in three different backfield formations before they finally got in the eye gave it to humphrey and he picked up the first down melvin bratton another rookie in the backfield big 225 and he can catch the ball johnson and mark jackson both split wide to the right not much doing then a gain of perhaps two or three pepper johnson and johnny cooks made the stop this is what makes the broncos such a different team you always think of the broncos as the john elway he had to do everything for him and now with this humphrey we can see this whole thing everything goes to him and that's taken a heck of a lot of pressure off elway well they now run 65 of the time and you can see the difference right there in their ranking in the nfl elway takes the draw [Music] gets it out to clarence k and kay gets near another bronco first down eight yard pick up myron guyton in three games this is the first one in four games he finally caught a pass dan reeves says yesterday that there was no reason maybe they've been going to mobley more but he said today he thinks kaye is going to catch more balls [Music] first and tim broncos at the giant 41. [Music] [Applause] [Music] last week against the raiders he jumped offsides and a touchdown was called back mobley said he didn't concentrate i don't know he didn't concentrate on here you see him right there 89 he starts to go before the ball snap boy the fans are going to get on motion foul number 89 offense first down mobley's going to get on mobley the coaches are going to get on mobley that woman there is going to get on mobley that group of fans will get on mobley because you know i mean you do it last week and then touchdowns fall back and then pull right in the first quarter you do it again there's no excuse for that first at 15. that's mobley on the move he goes about 260. yards deep a stream to the center to bobby humphrey and the giants had it read perfectly gary reason on the stop and you see how quickly john elway released that ball i mean he he just packs a gun on that right shoulder i mean he went back there and it was just a screen and an arrest he went he zipped that thing right under there this guy is an amazing quarterback he's he's fun to watch a heck of an athlete i think he's one of the few quarterbacks in football that is a weightlifter he lifts weights during the season twice a week and he said it's really helped him that's mobley again in the move man they faked the draw play to humphrey oh it has all kinds of times tries to slide it in the middle knocked down by mark collins jennifer jackson nothing nothing at mile high stadium the giants in denver 8 19 left in the first quarter we'd like to welcome those of you who watched detroit and the lions coming on strong beat the bears and with their six and eight record chicago is eliminated for from any chance to getting into the playoffs third and 13 here at mile high denver has had the ball since the outset steve sewell on the backfield with elway how about ricky couldn't keep defeat inbound titan and white the ball you see it coming right there now he has possession now you have to have possession and both hands in i mean both feet in looked like that left foot was out it was the first thing is possession he got the ball i guess both feet were out of bounds because the left foot was on the line mike horan back to punt for denver and dave megat back deep for the giants maggot watches it sail out of bounds and the giants will take over first time they've had the ball as phil sims will quarterback as usual last couple of weeks have been very frustrating for him [Music] up front the offensive line makeshift in some ways moore moves to left tackle as elliot left home roberts oats brian williams starts at right guard lotus anderson and maurice parthon we think will be the running backs manuel and baker a wide receiver otis had a tough week but he gets the initial carry over the right side carl mecklenburg number 77. carricker kragen and holmes up front in the denver three set brooks dennison mecklenburg and simon fletcher the linebackers braxton and henderson the cornerbacks atwater and smith the safeties sometimes they play seven defensive backs [Music] [Applause] a gain of 11 and a first down brooks made a stop look from either on the sideline john there's an old coach out of the past bum phillips houston oilers new orleans saints bum's retired now of course his son wade phillips is a defensive coordinator of these broncos here's wade right there with the sunglasses under all that clothing [Applause] that's carton and again and he's out near midfield tyrone braxton finally wrestled him to the ground 19 yards for karthon it's unusual to see him with the ball well and i think we're going to see more and more of karthon in there today in fact bill parcell said we're going more back to back to more basics we're going to play more two back which puts maurice karthon in there we're going to give carthage on the ball i think maybe they looked at their super bowl game against denver and realized what they were doing then and want to get back to it on again the midfield anna smith stopped him for an nfl update that sent you back to new york and brett musberger now we've had a couple of upsets uh none bigger i guess than up at buffalo snow and cold new orleans out of the dome this interception just moments ago now there's only 20 seconds left and the saints closing in on a 22-19 win let's go back to pat and shy well that's a hard team to figure out those saints here's sims back in the pocket outside anderson okay lunches close to another first down pickup of eight mecklenburg made the stop with henderson see that's the point that i'm making that once you can get some running he runs to otis anderson then he goes to maurice carthage now that defense has to hang in there they have to think run after honor to run now it's a heck of a lot easier to pass and phil sims will get more and more confidence that's one thing i noticed the other thing i noticed he's not wearing gloves and i think that phil seems without glove will be a lot better passer than with gloves one other thing john he's been bothered by a bad ankle for the past three weeks and he did tell me before the game that this is the best it's felt in a month in fact he's not wearing a brace he's only got a normal tape job you know he didn't want to wear that ankle brace he wore the ankle brace then it started hurting his knee so he threw away the ankle brace and played without that and i think as you said he's been pretty beaten up hasn't had a lot of things going for him but i still think the biggest thing is not having a running game third in about six inches martha [Music] like to welcome those of you who watch tampa bay and houston the oilers held on to win by three here in denver at mile high stadium our score is nothing nothing with 504 left to play in the first quarter giants with the ball with the denver 40. that summer all with john madden [Applause] houston with that victory by the way can win the division outright with victories in their final two games flag on that last play gonna be against the giants [Applause] jerry markbrite number 84 offense first down zeke back to a first down [Applause] [Music] final score between green bay and kansas city and that victory keeps kansas city alive in the wild card picture it also assures san francisco of a spot in the playoffs now green bay needs to win the final two games and have the vikings lose the final two in order for them to win the decentral division since to throw it screen pass to moana martha thank you seven yard pickup friggin and brooks on the stop for the broncos i'll tell you he had his blockers out there and they just missed a block out there i mean it looked like it could have been a big play here watch the screen pass they go fake now they go pass out here now watch out here brian williams number 59 he misses right there if they if williams gets that block they pick another five six seven eight yards second and thirteen emanuel is the move man this time and sends us back to throw up another screen pass the car's on same play [Applause] the ball was down it came loose after the hit by dennis smith [Music] stephen baker got it i believe before the giants before he went out of bounds watch 59 pad brian williams he gets the block this time and that makes a difference in the play watch him see right there boom he gets that block takes him down now karthon can get that five six seven eight yards i'm talking about plus he fumbles and stephen baker picks it up but they said he was down so it'll bring up the third and four or five perhaps at the bronco 35 no score yet chased out of the pocket by mecklenburg and holmes gets it to baker he goes out of bounds first down first down giants nothing nothing to score we're in the first quarter 242 left and we'd like to welcome those of you who saw that upset victory by the saints over buffalo 22-19 we're at mile high stadium in denver first down giant at the denver 24. those yard lines are getting more and more difficult to read yeah this is football when you can't see any yard lines you're going to have mud and stuff on the guy's jerseys that's what it's all about anderson hops to the outside wrapped up by rick dennison [Music] gain of only a yard [Music] been a tough week for o.j he had a growing injury last week against the eagles and on wednesday he had an operation hemorrhoid operation and there was some doubt about whether or not he'd be able to play well he missed most of the practice during the week and bill parcell said yesterday that he'll be able to start he doesn't know how long you'll be able to go but we may see some more lewis tillman second at 10 right now roussan is in the position of what has normally cost paul h back anderson barreling straight ahead stopped by brooks somebody lost a hat the man who made the tackle brooks yeah there's that thing underneath there it's probably probably slid the old hat right off the head that's okay the only time you worry about that if your head's in it but once that thing goes fly in there then you just pick it up and put it back on as long as you hit there and your head stays in your shoulders then you're okay this drive 11 plays 68 yards the giants have kept the ball six minutes 15 seconds 35 and anderson [Applause] picked up five it'll be close to another first down yeah this is the giants that we know and we've seen when they were when they were getting their winning record i think even bill parcell said maybe the thing that hurt him they went into san francisco and opened up a little then they opened up a little and then they got turnovers and then pretty soon you're trying to figure ways to get megan in you're doing all this and you forget your basic solid old run offense run defense lewis tillman is now the deep back for the giants anderson is out tillman gets the call hit by andre townsend and gets very little a yard [Music] well bill parcells was saying when we knew when we went to san francisco they were going to get some points and maybe we changed our philosophy maybe we had to sort of copy them yeah and then what happens he said maybe that's right and maybe it's wrong because when you do that you also have more turnovers the thing that have killed the giant is that the two things not being able to run and having turnovers that's the end of the first quarter the score is nothing nothing and now let's get you up to date on the scores from around the rest of the league philadelphia and dallas still playing in the bounty bowl game two minutes left the eagles leading 20-10 minnesota overwhelmed atlanta green bay kansas city beat green bay in green bay 21-3 detroit by 10 over the bears eliminating the bears from playoffs houston 20-17 over tampa bay seattle leading cincinnati 24-17 fourth quarter pittsburgh 13 the jets nothing that's the final pittsburgh still alive for a wild card spot new orleans upset buffalo washington has defeated san diego after being down 14-0 they're still alive phoenix and the raiders just underway indianapolis leading cleveland 7-0 they've become something of a mystery i think it was interesting talking to john elway yesterday and they're talking about playoffs and those things and he said you know the team that he thinks is the best team in the afc or could give the biggest problem at the kansas city chiefs you saw the story of this drive as we begin the second quarter washington by the way still keeps their playoff hopes alive but they need help from this team the giants and the eagles if they're going to make it but they have turned things around at rfk stadium yeah this used to always be the toughest place pat right here all the years we played against the broncos is down here going into those south stands those people in those south stands they were wild man and when you had to get down here going in to score in this end it was darn near impossible manual in motion sims back [Applause] [Music] [Applause] but you see the protection that sims is getting watch it this is what he has to have and i think the running game gave him that look at the difference here between that and last week when the eagles were just collapsing on him gary went back there time time time and he could find george adams that's a name we haven't seen in a while on this giant team and it gets them first and goal with the three anderson and maurice carthage [Music] and his 11th touchdown of the year hey now that was a drive where the giants looked like they did the year they went to the super bowl and this looked like the bronco defense the year they went to the super bowl just old-fashioned getting on the line and whipping him running the ball moving the ball all the way down the field that was a great drive and a good block by bob cratchit helped anderson getting a nipple gets the extra point with hostetler holding anderson's touchdown a flag on the extra point 15 plays 85 yards they kept the ball eight minutes and 53 seconds and then outside defense lined up in the neutral zone will enforce five rounds on the kickoff the point is good [Music] here's the touchdown again yeah i formation again two backs in there maurice karthon he gets the block right there number 61 crash gets the block right there and that clears the hole for o.j anderson and i think they i was going to say i think they learned that that maybe keeping karthun in there helps his team too it also helps if you keep the ball almost nine minutes not only does the other team's offense stay off the field your defense gets less playing time there in the left there that's earl leggett used to coach the raiders defensive line now with the broncos he's showing his linemen they're run blocking see that's what he'll do he'll get him over there and he'll show him the run plays that were successful against him and how they were blocking him then he'll go to the plan b of that which is their adjustment to it looks like on the giant side over there all they're going to do is get warm huh well as the day progresses that's going to be a more difficult task because it's supposed to drop throughout the day this mold fine drive kickoff is fielded by darren carrington and he spins it out to about the 26. dwayne giles made the stop a flag on the play i see that one of the giants going off saying that he was held or pushed from behind so i'm sure that's going to be against the broncos and put them in the hole i think it was against adrian white he was the guy that [Music] so denver will start back near their end zone let's see if we can see you see it right there that's that's blocking from behind although i don't know that's that's pretty close there because again the official has to see where you start phil sims quickly to the telephone hey he looks like a different guy this week than he did against the eagles there's nothing that gives a quarterback more confidence i've always said than a running game jackson goes in motion [Applause] buried first by eric howard a pickup of two that's a final score seattle over cincinnati and that keeps seattle's slim chances of a wild card playoff spot alive cincinnati is going to have a tough task houston has already won to wait to see what happens to cleveland [Music] second and eighth [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] got him out of bounds jim juriga the left guard of the broncos made a nice block there in the corner that was the that was a block that sprung humphrey to the outside 166 the left guard see the back wants to just get out there with him now right there boom he just knocks the corner down then that gives humphrey the corner to get around boy you love those guards when they'll get out there and knock down a corner for you and brings up third and two and the broncos goal four wide receivers [Applause] close to a first down we'd like to welcome those of you who watch dallas in philadelphia and the eagles win improves their record to 10-4 the giants lead this one seven to nothing and now need to win to stay even with the eagles they lead seven nothing at mile high stadium the eagles by the way need to win their last two games to win the division title outright regardless of what happens to the giants this is a big decision here for dan rave i know that you're backed up you're inside you have to punt the ball but you only have inches to go and it's really tough to send in your punt team but that was just a matter of measurement and dan reeves did what he had to there's no way you can go for it but on the other hand you see they only need a half an inch for the first down you only say that a couple of times and then you do what you're supposed to do i think yeah and you tend to say it more when you're up here than when you're down there moran is back to kick for denver megan back deep for the giants [Applause] 47-yard punt by horan flag on the play back at the original line of scrimmage and both sides saw it so it has to be against the punting team and that's probably for someone leaving before the ball was kicked against the receiving game of the giants it would be a first down for the broncos say it's against the broncos the bronco punting team is still there fourth down again [Applause] you'll see right here it's going to be movement right in the middle going before the ball's kicked now see now they have to wait wait wait wait and you see right there leaving their downfield there and that was the one that they called him on call number 97 bruce klosterman for getting down field too early he was right next to number 25. like both of them were [Applause] another good kick this one he ought to be able to handle though four four hang time on the front so with 12 28 left to play in the first half here at mile high stadium at 7-0 giants [Music] you have to drive it to believe it the new accord it's the biggest game ever played for one case of miller knight and both teams are getting ready why don't you just run around them wouldn't that be easier you want to knock off for lunch or something coach this is some workout we want to win that miller life not to mention a free trip to the super just like the one bill jorgensen found in his case of miller lite coach we got to get that game don't worry i'm bringing in a secret weapon it's a radio shack merry christmas look we can save 300 on this tandy 1000 computer it's pc compatible in only 3.99 with color monitor at 6.99 the kids would love this for christmas the hx is easy to use with deskmate software included for my word processing your budgeting and the kids homework and games let's get it for them too the tandy 1000 family of pc compatible computers from 399 only at radio shack the technology store [Applause] snowy mile high stadium at snowy denver a lot of santa clauses around today a lot of them with some heavy beards too with ice and snow score the only one by the giants to take a seven nothing lead was from three yards out by otis anderson giants kept the ball almost nine minutes in their drive that's anderson and he's dragged down by brooks [Music] that first drive the surprise i guess of the whole thing would be the yardage by carthage well i think the fact that carthage was in there with anderson it was the only giant offense two backs a regular fullback was a blocker and you hand on the ball once in a while and a tail back but the other thing is the giant offensive line handles the bronco defense oh here's top on again brooks made the stop for the benefit of those of you who just joined us it snowed all night and has been snowing all day in denver i remembered one time pat we came up here when i was first a head coach and the oakland raiders and george blander was my quarterback and it was snowing like this and i said boy we're not going to be able to pass today and george glantz told me baloney he said this is the best weather to pass in because it calms down the pass rush and the defensive backs have a tough time covering sims back and the shotgun has megat with him and the broncos goal is seven defensive backs [Music] [Music] is it the that the receivers are able to get open you watch now in the spell in the when a field is slippery the offense has the advantage because they know where they're going i think that's a good example of it right here with mark ingram i think the other thing is is is the pass protection watch the time that phil sims has even gets a good block there by david megat who picks up the safety blitz [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] look at that number 27 steve atwater he's a safety but he's the size of a of a defensive tackle this guy has probably added more to this bronco defense than anyone he was their number one draft choice this year and i know dan reeves thought of all the things that we've done this is one of the better things we've done he's drafted him because he's not only a good player but a good leader and a great big guy as you said sims is six out of six takes to anderson i don't see any flags yet [Applause] dan reams is saying the only guy he could have thrown through was his right tackle doug riesenberg there was no giant receiver in that area that was carricker and holmes who put the heat on even santa claus says hey you can't throw to a tackle got some guys excited i think satisfied because he's clinched his division no way [Applause] he was in the shotgun and he couldn't hear so then he went up to get under center and now he's taking a timeout so that'll mean they have two left seven nothing giants [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] down in response to popular demand we proudly introduced the nikon teletouch 300 a totally automatic dual lens camera that significantly reduces red eye [Music] according to the latest estimates earth will soon be inhabited by more than 5.2 billion people where will they all fit [Music] in the u.s armed forces everyone has a chance to learn to grow to leave [Music] during the timeout well you can see they cleaned off the yard line markers and the sideline i don't know how long that's going to last well the interesting thing matt they cleaned up where they're already been not where they're going you're going to clean up you ought to clean up where you're going all those lines were cleaned behind the giants maybe they're afraid of the player oh you got to go out there in the elements [Applause] the only way they're going to go that way is that the broncos pick off something to run it back that way third can take sims to the snowy turd alfonso carricker comes from the left side here he's going to be right here he's working right on that side there and you'll see again he's working against the rookie brian williams williams had trouble last week against the eagles in fact that same move mike pitts made against from last week just that right arm up under landed out to punt from his own 43-yard line [Applause] [Music] yard line where the broncos will take over 28-yard punt by landeta seven-nothing giants 9 37 left in the first half [Music] [Music] according to the latest estimates earth will soon be inhabited by more than 5.2 billion people where will they all fit [Music] guess what i don't have the keys i don't have them either the side door the gleam of a brash chandelier the window the embrace of a comfortable chair the hundred other details that make an ethan allen house so nice to come home to if you ever get home maybe the garage yeah right now there's a sale at your ethan island [Music] [Applause] split gallery [Applause] last week's miller lite nfl player of the week was richard johnson making him eligible to be player of the year look for the next winner in wednesday's usa today and at the end of the season for the miller lite nfl player of the year exactly what is discipline being grounded no tv no treats firing squad made your dad monday okay okay spankings [Applause] that's the bronco bench on the other side that's lawrence taylor he had as you know and tried to play last week against philadelphia the game with a broken ankle that got a little bit better they expected him to play all day today but he woke up this morning with backspacing though he hasn't played at all elway on the draw play to hunt humphrey could be gone mark collins saved the touchdown a flag on the play back at the line of scrimmage and it's got to be against the bronco that you're going to get plays like this but your safety has to make the tackle once terry canard misses the tackle good blocking up front now he breaks free you have to make that tackle there that was either a good move by humphrey or it was a pitiful tackle by canard but anyway it's going to be brought back [Music] 50-yard run brought back watch on the left part of the picture here you see perry number 60 holding leonard marshall jimmy has his left arm on there and he keeps and he kept it outside his frame but boy can that humphrey pop through a hole as you were saying yesterday you can just tell a great back you may not get all that majority which he did of course in but you can tell how he hits a hole how he sees the defense sami weiner is replacing him [Music] incomplete meyer and guyton made the hit on ricky natiel and there's a runway [Music] [Applause] ricky the teal is going to have that elway cross on him tell you what he does fire it does that was zipped in there that'll leave a tattoo right on your chest [Music] but byron guyton said was that the ball was tipped so i don't know what difference that would make the ball was tipped now he said he could go for it now watch guyton his left hand gets in there i don't know looks like he got there just a little early that was that was kind of kind of touchy i don't know that you have to call those if if a defender can't do that he can't play in this league i think that myron guyton made a pretty good play on a great pass by john elway i think the ball is tipped right here by gary reason you know that it just went right through it and he and that ball was thrown so hard that even by tiffany still got there with it's the wonder reasons has any fingers [Music] where the giants are again if the balls dip then you can't be interference [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you just can't let the guy catch your ball you gotta cover up [Music] [Applause] [Music] if the ball is tipped let's see if we can see it it's going to be number 55. now if the ball is tipped if reasons tips the ball now there can be contact now it's all right there is no interference you can have contact but i don't i don't even know if if that was interference or not but now what they're reviewing i think is to see if it were tipped or not again for anyone sitting there it's 55 right there gary reason well a trajectory of the ball a spin of the ball the ball wasn't wobbling until it got to reasons i think the ball was tipped [Applause] because as you say it changed directions when it went there i mean it was going on a tight spiral and then it changed to a wobble and they're going to bring this one back i'm pretty [Music] 55 sure took the pass there was no personal first second down [Music] it's not popular here but that's the call old inside linebacker gary reasons just getting enough read on it but you see it's a pretty tight spiral going in now watch it coming out see how the thing starts to turn i think if you had a basis decision on that second at 18. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] humphrey slipped down it was going to be the old counter gap play but humphrey when he tried to fake lost his footing in elway kept it right bobby humphries that's his favorite play here in denver they call it ot tv in the tackle ob in the off guard pulling and the back has to make that step and then get in there behind the offside humphrey went to make it just fell down so elway had to keep the ball that makes it third and 12. broncos had the ball [Applause] deep in their own territory at their 13-yard line they go with their four-wide receiver package michael young is wide to the left no way to national and it's incomplete as he too slipped over close to the sideline sheldon white was a giant defender ricky the deal is just coming up you know he had a serious knee injury had a cracked kneecap see there he was trying to hold up to keep both feet in bounds it was tough to see the sideline anyway but as he tried to hold up to keep both feet in bounds he just slipped right out of bounds fourth and twelve the footing out in the middle of the field is pretty good close to the sidelines off the charts it's tough moran's kick fielded by megan good return by megan 49 yard kick a 22-yard return carrington tripped up megan but the giants have it in good shape with eight and a half minutes left to play in the first half [Music] for those hardy souls who braved the elements in search of the perfect tree mcdonald's has a treat just for you for a short time we're serving holiday chicken mcnuggets with a festive orange

the toughest job in football is a punt returner well you got 11 guys bearing down on you that's tough but when you have snowflakes coming in your eyes the ball getting there and guys coming and you catch the ball like that and make a return like that that is a pressure play by david megan and he's had some problems looks like he solved them that's maurice tarthan left side for a yard [Music] you know i think it's interesting the what the giants have to do we talked about jumbo elliott being out so now they had to move eric moore over there number 60. he's playing left tackle william roberts oaks now brian williams number 59 is playing the right guard and doug riesenberg that right tackle second and nine sims fakes the car gun lag down on the play and the pass is incomplete he just threw it away [Applause] right at the line of scrimmage the penalty marker [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i think it's gotta be trippy [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] right there in the middle again he's he's blocking against greg fragan one of the better nose tackles in the leg see when he gets feet there he turns and lake whips him now if we see that more and more in this lake you don't see a call that often but there are two ways to block you can block a guy in front of you then if he gets by you you can whip your leg and you have another shot at him that's been illegal for a long long time maggots in the backfield with sam chased by holmes and down by horns [Applause] comes through here like he is shot he has seven sacks coming into this game in seven games it looks like william roberts works to the outside and no one blocks home holmes lined up over roberts roberts slid out and holmes went right right up the hole with no no one blocking him face of lawrence taylor all he can do is watch they tried to ruin a screen pass to megan he juggled it and finally caught it and he's still going megan 57 yards by megan great run and a great catch pat but i'll tell you there was a heck of a block by william roberts out there [Music] block that springs them is the left guard number 66 william roberts watch him here megan makes a heck of a catch for watch 66 come and make the block on mecklenburg right there that's the one that broke him now maggot makes a move and some big plays on his own the one guy dan reeves was worried about he told us yesterday we have to contain david megan now for the extra point and it's good 14 nothing the giants leave the broncos here it is again hey you got to get those big linemen out in front of those little bags and there's a big lineman out in front of a little back when he knocks the guy down megan does arrest that's a heck of a run 14-0 giants [Applause] [Music] it all starts with a special nfl today next saturday at noon eastern on [Music] game that cbs4 but by some chance he was drinking and swearing the fans were getting angry this guy did not know right from wrong [Music] when we root for our team we can all be winners if we leave the action to the players on the field and not in the stands don't you rock the boat the fans don't like the spoiler they want to keep the game on a happy note [Music] i'm dreaming kelly clearly back in the buffalo bills asking you not to rock the boat remember to be courteous and considerate to your fellow fans don't party too hard before or during the game and drive

[Music] it's beginning to look a lot like christmas 57 yards how about a 36-yard drive but a 57-yard touchdown a screen pass from sims to megan [Music] because he took the sack from ron holmes when william roberts blocked out let holmes come by then roberts was the guy who made the block on megan's spring i guess that gets him even nitmo has cleared a track so he can kick off looks like he cleared an x out here just go the other way [Applause] is going too go to ken bell [Applause] bell down at about the 23 by greg jackson 14 nothing giants in snowy denver town elway will lead his offensive unit back on the field [Applause] and reeves the crowd had just started to get into the game when the giants sprung that big screen passplay they were just starting to really get

magic number for the vikings is won one victory for the nfc central title denver can clinch a home field advantage with a win today and in the meantime 12 other teams remain alive so first down for denver there on 23. [Music] johnson got past mark collins 42-yard pickup once vance johnson on the outside collins is going to be up there to bump him see and then he's going to ride him and the safety's going to get over now the safety gets turned around that's canard he gets turned around and then vance johnson gets behind and it's a perfect throw by john elway first and at the ten 35. mowgli was the move man they give it to humphrey and there's nothing there leonard marshall two-game two-yard game for humphrey big leonard marshall these are the kind of guys at games a guy like marshall likes you're out there you they they have to run at you they're coming there you got the snow you don't wear a shirt underneath you got the bare arms hanging out there showing those guys your guns and stuff they like these kind of games linemen do the guys that don't like them the skinny little little guys they just they just about fall apart big old guys they like this kind of leather second and nine [Music] just barely does get rid of it and now the giants of course are saying he intentionally grounded [Music] they might say he was in the grass watch leonard marshall here on gerald perry number 60 here he does a nice job he gets in gets his hand gets that one then he just starts pushing him right back into elway then he makes a dive in elway right there now he had him in the grass just as he was getting ready to throw it big leonard he came alive there he made the tackle on the run then he makes a big pass run leonard's having a tremendous year they go with three down lyman at elwes to vance johnson stopped by collins you see john elwood just get back there and zip that thing into vance johnson [Music] 12-yard pickup fourth and about five and it looks like they're going to go for it falls at the 30-yard line he's gonna have to go back and zip another one in there because they're not in running range for a first down steve sewell is back there with elway starts young in motion and now sends him back where he came from intended for mark jackson that's just too hard one thing john elway was saying yesterday that he likes about this new defense is that they're always in the game that they don't have to play from behind and the thing that the giants have done so far is play excellent defense not given any plays but put 14 points on the board and that's the score they lead by 14.

is to keep the ball dry that's up by her al conway but if the ball is dry then the weather doesn't bother you not much there for otis anderson that's what elway was saying to us yesterday the toughest weather conditions was not this not the snow on the field and coming down it was rain yeah when the ball gets wet when you can't handle the ball the way you normally do ann reeves is probably thinking yesterday after practice he went out and played golf he played nine holes with bump phillips i don't think he thought he was going to see this kind of weather or this kind of score a day later not much golf on a day like this anderson again hit hard by friggin and alfonso carricker [Applause] that's the way a nose tackle has to squeeze a run the way greg fragan does say he's going to come hit down the line character boom here and squeeze the run right between those two guys watch cranking hit into oats come around behind right down the line now there's no cut back he starts to cut back boom there's fragan boom there's character third and eight giant ball of their own 32. draw play to make it not enough for the first down play we've seen them run for years eight yard gain stopped by atwater are you talking about megan dan reeves was saying he had david megan in the senior ball coached him mega was the mvp in the super bowl reeves wanted to draft him but the giants got him first this is a time-out giants with 240 left to play in the first half listen if i give you all some wine do you promise to get out of the kitchen depends on the wine i guarantee you'll like it just try it

[Music] back at mile high stadium giants will put that was a denver timeout not a giant timeout so now they have two remaining and two minutes and 40 seconds remaining vance johnson is back deep sean landetta back to punt for the giants a short snap to gary reasons a pickup of three and that's enough for the first down dave bill parcells was throwing it out that was an organized fake punt in fact they have a word for that i don't know if that's bummer ski or what what one that is but watch lindena the punter he jumped like he's catching ball but the balls just snapped directly to gary reasons the nose tackle takes off to the left he gets a good block there and reasons just runs it straight up the middle [Applause] look at that when you get an old linebacker he gets a first down like that i'll guarantee you that'll put more smiles on his face than any tackles or interceptions [Music] you know i bought my toyota camry because three separate mechanics fred jeff and kevin told me the camry was a really reliable car now he waves when he goes by the shop but he doesn't stop can't believe you told him buy that reliable car they were right my camry's been really dependable i didn't

case of miller lite and go to the super bowl we need that secret weapon don't worry we're gonna get that case 14 nothing giants watch what the punter does who doesn't punt yeah well this is the way the punter fakes on a fake punt he does one of those what do you call him pirouettes he doesn't even look he'll go pat himself in the back and say would you see me fake on that one coach i did good huh i was partly responsible [Applause] he used to have a play called bummer skis there's salmon's going to [Applause] work dropped it and was hammered that was great coverage by mecklenburg you see a big guy like that carl mecklenburg [Applause] as the penalty marker down on the play mecklenburg he plays against the run he rushes the pass where he's all over the field then he gets 30 yards back there and knocks one down [Music] [Applause] [Music] you see the ball is already out the ball is already knocked down and dennis smith comes across and hits roussan but the guy there 77 made a heck of a play carl mecklenburg [Applause] so the giants will take over now at the denver 44. martha and rousson are the two running backs near a giant first down stopped again by mecklenburg a gate of nine see this is phil sims kind of game one you got the lead you're not playing uphill two you got some running going so therefore three you can do what he just did on that play throw on first down with a play faith and unlike what happened against philadelphia last week he has now some timeouts to work with [Music] second and one will have the first down ron holmes stopped carthan after he picked up three the other thing maurice karthon puts in a team it's not you know he's not going to gain a lot of yardage catch a lot of passes but he brings another tough guy in your lineup he brings another guy who will knock someone down in there for you and you know that doesn't always show up in statistics in the great joe morris years martha was largely responsible [Applause] rusan in motion [Applause] [Music] he got that one away [Music] see michael brooks comes from his left side o.j anderson misses him and sims throws a perfect pass delay roussani right between the twos and it just goes right through them we do have elements out there but when a pass is thrown like that you have to catch it second and 10 from the 32. [Applause] loss of three yeah if broncos got ron holmes in a in a trade from tampa bay dan reeves said he has problems down there and said he really didn't like playing it but he's happy here in denver and he sure plays like a different guy it's a giant timeout with 30 seconds 31 seconds remaining in the first half [Music] [Applause] [Music] some people see shaving as something you do for

extends you see he gets his nose up over his toes when you get your nose up over your toes you get your head down and you have no chance you see when he extends boom now holmes is right by him now when he tries to come back it's too late and he has to knock holmes right into carthage but that's what you call over extension by an offensive lineman third and 13 at the bronco 35 31 seconds remaining first half oats call sims up under center couldn't hear him hey the giants are going to wait that was an ugly play i don't know if that was a quarterback draw or not now sims is going to stand right next to the referee they have one more timeout he's going to stand right next to him let the clock run down and then kick the field goal they send in jeff ostetler to take the timeout in any case they got it done with a second remaining hostetler is the holder for the kicker bjorn nitmo line of scrimmage was at 35 this will be about 42 yards i wonder if nimbo's ever kicked in this kind of weather he doesn't look like it he looks like got those gloves on he looks like a guy in another sport or something i bet he's got a two-handed backhand he looks like a tennis player we'll see you know the the weather you got the snow you got that but you do have this altitude here and if there's any place that kickers like to kick it's in mile high stadium looks like about 42 yards make it 47. gave it a little spin it had the distance but didn't get there the end of the first half with the score the giants 14 broncos nothing [Applause] [Music] cbs sports coverage of the national

investigate this murder welcome to judgement day baby kevin dobson stars in a network premiere money power and murder tonight week 14 the 49ers go to the playoffs for the seventh straight year minnesota one victory away from wrapping up their first division title since 80. and the chicago bears and the new orleans saints have both been eliminated from playoff competition and irv the bears have now lost for the fourth straight time first time ever under mike ditka you ever think you'd see it no especially not the soldier field this afternoon but the reason why barry sanders rushed for more than 100 yards scored two touchdowns watched a little dance move right here but afterwards mike ditka stepped up and accepted blame i take the blame for it and it's my fault and that's it so you know we just go from there we're going to keep trying hustle put it together work practice try to work the things out but it was definitely my fault and uh i think we can put a period after that and the quotation marks and uh make a lot of you people happy and the bears now out of the playoffs for the first time since 1983. meanwhile the minnesota vikings inched ever closer to a division title and this would be their first since 1980 their defense back set it up chris doleman twice forced touchdowns by stripping the ball keith millard with the big bounce and then they did it a second timer just chris dolman again brent miller under tremendous pressure dolman forcing another uh fumble the ball is picked up by tim newton you'll see him lumber in there the big guy picks it up and rambles it from five yards out for the score so the viking defense has scored six touchdowns this year and that's unbelievable a team record six touchdowns by the defense alone and no one booing bob schnelker late today 43-17 the vikes with the win green bay you know a lot of folks thought they were going to have a cakewalk but the kansas city chiefs are slowly becoming one of the top defensive teams and it was not a ho ho ho in green bay's lambeau field today as steve de berger threw for two touchdowns threw one there he has another one coming up here you see the berg again going back finding this time email harry for 12 yard touchdown and the chiefs look awfully good right now brett they sure do and there are the standings in the central division one viking win or a packer loss and the vikes are champs of the central division and detroit moving up at five and nine they have had a fine year under wayne fox bounty bowl two bad blood spilled over again at the vet 20 to 10. and of course a fake field goal was called by buddy ryan and chris carter caught two touchdown passes and and what about this uh izelle jenkins in here well here's her talking about bad blood izzell after the ball is punted by saxon decides he's going to block saxon while he bumps the mirror and saxon doesn't like it he gets up pushing and shoving and as a result of that a lot of uh heated words were exchanged and at the end of the game the city of brotherly love wishing jimmy johnson a very merry christmas 20 to 10 the final score the eagles beat the cowboys in that game new orleans and buffalo a lot of folks expected the saints to fold up in the cold and the snow up in buffalo the bill's coming off that tough monday night loss john for cade went at quarterback today and dalton hilliard spectacular season great balance here on a slippery surface brent goes all the way here for the touchdown a 54-yard scoring play so at halftime they got rid of the snow kelly tried to rally them but brett maxie picked off this pass and with it buffalo's chances and now the bills head out to san francisco for a key game next sunday afternoon seattle and cincinnati and the seahawks ambush the bengals 24-17 a historic day really as steve largent caught his 100th career touchdown pass that's the new standard in the nfl then when the bingo fans later started throwing snowballs onto that end of the field sam weisz dashed across and grabbed the microphone will the next person that sees anybody throw anything onto this field point them out or get them out of here you don't live in cleveland [Applause] and later it was dave craig with his third touchdown pass to kurt warner and the seahawks with the upset uh irv i think the coach got his point across but he's gonna have to live with those words uh the next few years when he goes into cleveland that's right he'll be going to the dog pound again but again you know we've seen a lot of this though ben fans throwing debris down on the field snowballs and everything else really there's no place in the game for that well down in houston no opportunity to throw snowballs they were playing in a dome and the oilers held off vinnie testaverde and the bucks this was a nice catcher by drew hiller nice throw but a terrific catch drew hill keeping both feet in bounds tapping those toes in there for the touchdown okay and also washington kept its playoff hopes alive beating san diego 26-21 and it was pittsburgh over the jets shutting the jets out 13 to nothing and we'll continue live with more right after these messages from your local stations [Music] he's a doctor with a great bedside manner but is he crazy in love or just plain crazy monday he's getting closer to the truth i believe masters are setting up miss gallagher this is too easy but there's only one problem somebody's gonna the truth has just become a terrible lie the person being hung out to dry is you arrest agent turnover the ultimate setup on wiseguy for capital conspiracy wednesday this is cbs don't be fooled by look-alikes there are two compact camcorder formats the one on the left may look like this panasonic vhs camcorder small and lightweight but that's where the similarity panasonic camcorder teams can play in the 60 million vhs ricardo's out there that's something the other guys can't do so if anyone tells you all compact camcorders are alike don't

and the world at his door [Music] but he never had a waterman pen how could i have known he'd been so deprived [Music] it was the cure that drove them crazy women and madness next to robert [Music] herb with the giants leading by a pair of touchdowns here at the half we should point out that the eagles have to go into new orleans next week so there's still a chance now for the giants to win this division but they've got to beat denver today well they're well on the way to doing that though great run by megan that's their second touchdown and it is 14-0 giants with the lead phoenix and the raiders out in the sunshine of southern california right now 7-3 the lead there now earlier we told you about the nfc a lot of developments in the playoffs but as you can see gary hoga boom to ernie jones for a 35-yard touchdown and that has the raiders a little bit uneasy right now because if we check the standings of the afc west even though the denver broncos have wrapped up a division title the raiders need to win their last three to wrap up a wild card spot so a lot more things are completely up in the air in the afc than they are in the nfc very definitive now in the nfc it would be a shock of shocks if the same five teams coming into today didn't wind up in the playoffs this was a big setback for the green bay packers today they are almost virtually eliminated because in a tie-breaking situation they are going to lose out to the vikings now cleveland just kicked a field goal to take a lead on indianapolis and of course the browns are trying to win the afc central division title remember they wrap up the season with a game against houston so the afc figures to be a lot more exciting the last two weeks of the regular season right now than the nfc meanwhile congratulations are in order for our cbs sports colleague pat sumrall he's toughing it out at snowy mile high stadium this afternoon because on tuesday pat was honored with the bert bell award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the national football league tom brookshire in philadelphia presented the award to the 28th bird bell award goes to pat sumrall isn't it a great week in philadelphia to give an award to an ex-giant it was indeed uh irv we've got pat and john together and hey pat they didn't throw any snowballs at you when you got that award in philadelphia did they there were a couple of threats but it was well appreciated i assure you that listen congratulations here in denver though congratulations first half what do you think thank you very much gentlemen that was very kind well first i'd say i'd like to also offer my congratulations thank you for being here the burp bell award is for the person to contribute so much professional football and i think that you're not only deserve that but you're on the top of any list that they ever put together so anyway you know getting back to this game i think the giants did what they had to and they kind of remind me of the old giants where they they have two backs they have maurice carthon in there at the at the fullback position they run the ball they play pass they do those types of things i don't think denver expected that i think denver's been a little on their heel and i think that they have to turn that thing around if they're going to get back in this game well they've been rather surprisingly no turnover we'll continue cbs sports coverage of the national football league after this message and a word from your local station [Music] deja vu you just bought that somebody stole it

driven a ford lately a t the right choice and by fox the premium champagne [Music] back at snowy mile high stadium the snow continues all last night at all this morning and still coming down [Applause] checking out the two quarterbacks the giants lead it 14-0 sims 8 out of 11. 131 yards one touchdown the 57-yarder to make it elway 5 out of 10 for just 69. so sims certainly has the edge at least in the first half well i think the fact that he's not wearing those gloves i think that helps and the running game also helps and look at the other things here the the giants being able to run and you know we said they had four games this year that they didn't gain a hundred yards those are the four games they lost if they've gained more than 100 yards they win every game and look in the first half they have 67 so they won the first half and you look at how it breaks down they made most of their yardage and again on a slippery day you'll tend to do that most of the yardage up the middle 63 yards inside because of that thing sweeps are very difficult to run on a snowy field but it's very difficult to make when you have to take it up the field treadwell will kick it in the direction of megat and ingram [Music] ingram makes a nice stop [Music] you know you can look at the type of passes that you throw in this kind of weather sims did not throw a pass over 15 yards see look to the left he was four for four two for five in the middle two for two to the right so to the outsides he's been perfect six for six when throwing outside under 15 yards first and 10 at the 25 the same two that started we'll begin the second half anderson and carthage maurice carton straight ahead got just three fourteen nothing giants leading eagles have already won they need this one to stay even denver needs a win to clinch the home home field advantage throughout the playoffs and i think the other thing denver needs to win for is just to turn things around they had a tough loss last week to the raiders and they want to get back on that plus now second at seven close to a first down should be eight yard pickup lots of blocking here in the nose tackle this is a thing you have to do that's bart oates he's blocking against craig and you start off and he has help on his right side so he takes away the left hard then brian williams steps down so they give him no place to go when you have help from your right side you step quickly to your left side and then the two of you form a wall against the nose tackle and pin him right on the line of scrimmage first and ten giants their own 37. bruce on is in the backfield [Applause] down greg cragan got the hand up to knock it away oh they got craig and they teamed him on the play before this time oates is just going to take him here boom he comes straight up the middle and knocks the ball down but number four we saw a double team on the pass this time oats has him single so he takes him push push makes the move right there and knocks the ball down with his right arm that looked like this type of thing that was happening to phil sims and the giants last week against the eagles [Applause] anderson over the left side a gain of five stopped by alfonso carricker you know greg cragan is getting to be one of the the better nose tackles in this league he's one of those guys who plays the run again like right now you know if it gets to be a passing situation boom they'll run him out of there but he was a free agent type of guy who who kind of made himself he's kind of a self-made man nose tackle she straightens the center up just doesn't allow any movement in there megan is in the backfield third and five giants at their own 42. sims is hit just as he let the ball go intended for manual incomplete pressure from holmes and mecklenburg i think the broncos have realized one thing that they have to get pressure on sims and they're going to have to blitz them more than they did in the first half dennis smith the bronco safety man was shaken up on the last play dennis smith missed last week's game against the raiders with a a groin injury they thought that if they held them out the whole week that he would be fine the rest of the season and a smith is a a pro bowl type safety one of the good safeties in the league one of the tough guys and you know at one time john robinson was coaching at sc this is he had dennis smith joey browner and ronnie lott in his secondary wow make a good coach out anyway landena will pump to ricky national this time standing at his own 17. [Applause] out of bounds at about the 30. maybe not that quite quite not that far 13-15 left to play in the third quarter only a 24-yard punt and the broncos will take over at about their 34-yard line [Music] [Applause] imagine owning anything but a pickup and from what i know about hauling stuff i couldn't imagine owning anything but a big ford you see this board's got a longer deeper box that can handle a bigger payload than any chevy it signs the big ford pickup number one for all the right reasons maybe that's why more folks drive fords than any other truck the best-built american trucks are

[Applause] next saturday at 12 o'clock eastern time the nfl today and i guess what you could call a special edition and then after that the dallas cowboys play at the meadowlands against the giants then at 3 45 eastern for the season premiere of college basketball on cbs joey meyer takes his depaul blue demons down to the dean dome to take on dean smith's 17th ranked north carolina tar heel here's elway got it to clarence cave reasons made the stop a pickup of perhaps ten now they move it back to seoul where it's about nine and a half yeah if you look at what elway has done so far the distance from three out of four under ten one out of five between 10 and 20 yards and then he had one for one over 40 yards so again under 10 he's been pretty successful having trouble with that medium range throw second and one [Applause] here's humphrey there's a pretty good move when he dipped into the hole that just shows you why he's such a good back yeah that's what some of the facts say that any back can get to the hole it's what you do once you get in the hole again this is that counter thing now as you say watch the moves he makes there he makes one or two moves there to pop around that thing make guys miss then another one and finally mark collins gets him but those feet are going always all the time aren't they really first and ten denver at midfield will throw it if he has time on the play elway dumps it over to vance johnson but there's a penalty marker down back at the line of scrimmage it's got to be holy that was a gain of 23. the broncos have really been hurt you know there's the big play this is going to be call back remember bobby humphrey had a big run early in the first half that was called back because of a penalty these guys in this game thus far have been snake bit by penalties number 60 offense number 60 is gerald perry the left tackle right here that's his second one of the game say the fans are upset with this guy watch him see marshall takes that inside so he puts his right arm in there to stop the move then he gets the left left arm up and pass protection i think he was called for the right arm stop in that slant move seven times for 52 yards for denver sewell was back there with elway who will put it up again [Music] he gets it to michael young a good throw 12-yard gain got some of it back mark collins was out there watch 25 collins jumps and the ball is over his head and right into young's hands but they when this guy throws them they sure look pretty don't they though [Applause] [Music] [Applause] second down for the broncos the balls at the giant 48. they need [Applause] [Music] this is an area third and four or five where john elway really likes to mess with the snap count and draw the defense outside then he can get a free play and then go deep and he is the best at it i mean this guy is a master at this situation just through voice inflection trying to draw the defense offside and get a free play [Applause] mark jackson he got the first down he had more yards than he wound up with he still got 19. leonard marshall down to make the stop sure that mark jackson was going sideways too long because he let the defensive line get there but bill parcell says this is when elway's most dangerous drop back to about nine yards then step up to about five and drill it he said when he does that it's almost impossible to cover humphrey hit behind the line of scrimmage by reasoning in washington the ball came loose but it was too late a loss of one [Applause] [Music] gary reasons is a guy that tipped that ball in the first half and took away a pass interference call he's a real solid player you know i mean he's always there good against a run plays that zone defense smart guy smart player i saw him in the locker room last week and uh new york had his kid there's kids wearing number 55. gonna be a linebacker just like that second and eleven [Applause] he had a touchdown vance johnson was open he had beaten mark collins yeah he really did he was behind collins by five steps and elway got the ball there again these are tough things watch collins up there playing him in tight coverage gets a pretty good bump then he slips now vance johnson has him by five yards collins catches up a little johnson had to wait a little i was thinking if he just put a little more on that i mean vance johnson should have had it anyway yeah third and 11. [Applause] incomplete a flag on the play i don't know looked like his right guard doug waydel was down field or it looked like he threw it through his right guard dug away down number 67. [Applause] either way it was probably a four-hole dug leonard marshall's not quite sure if he wants to accept this penalty or not i would bet leonard marshall doesn't make that decision he might deliver the message yeah i think so i think he would be super downfield on the pass number 72 offense third down they accept yeah they called keith karts big center looked like the right guard was down there too 172 the center that's who they call being down field in the screen i think he's down here i think 67 is both down there he almost hit wydell with it they were both down field to block for a screen but there was nobody to screen to and they're so big they can't hide when they get down there and i think that could be another penalty against gerald perry but wait until the fans here it's on number 60 gerald perry if it is daryl perry's really had his tough times he was in court all last week [Applause] [Music] this has been a long day for number 60 gerald perry that's his third big penalty watch him right there they say he illegally used his body and i think that's right there that left leg when you bring it up like that i think they call that leg whipping you get leg whip like that that'll bend you over they refuse the penalty and moran is back to punt aiming for the sideline and doesn't do it very well that almost went into the stands [Applause] that winds up being an 18-yard punt and so the giants will take over they lead 14-0 the black and decker work mate about all it can help you do is clean up but at least it gets out of your way the black decker workmate the designers of the ford vestiva gave it more interior room than this toyota tercel if you find this fact somewhat less than riveting perhaps you would be more interested to learn that the ford festival

rock solid market wise being a part of the us armed forces is an experience you can be proud [Music] [Music] it all starts with a special nfl today next saturday at noon eastern on cbs sports we're back at mile high stadium in denver the home of the broncos who trail the giants 14 to nothing 9 40 left in the third quarter and some are all here with john madden [Applause] [Music] the other thing that's been impressive about this game pat and this kind of weather is that there hasn't been a turnover yet right remember in the super bowl when these two teams played there was only one turnover i think when the giants are trying to get back on track they felt they had to be able to do two things one run the ball and two eliminate turnovers second and seven sims intended for moat off his fingers i think if there's any injury that has hurt the giants this year it's been mark navarro and that's because zeke moab just dropped that last one but i think that's affected their running game i think it's affected they're they're they're receiving they're throwing to the tight end i think it's made the job a quarterback a little tougher there's any guy that you could ill afford to lose but this offense was bavaro third and seven giants are at their own 21. tim's taken down by carrick it was chase out of the pocket he managed to pick up a yard but not enough sims looks like he's shaking a bit i know it looked like his hand there maybe something got in his eye i don't think he knew it was fourth down coming up got a straight arm there i think it's hit there you have no idea what happens in those piles ricky [Applause] [Music] [Applause] yard line 49 yards that time by landena well the broncos have it now with 8 12 left in the third quarter giants up 14-0 [Music] cold filtered

tar heels of north carolina the season premiere of college basketball on cbs sports next saturday the giants lead denver 14-nothing philadelphia beat dallas [Applause] minnesota overwhelmed atlanta kansas city's defense was tough on green bay [Applause] detroit eliminated chicago from the playoff picture houston 20-17 over tampa bay and here we go first and ten broncos at their own 28. almost lost the handle but then got it back [Music] banks knocked him down seattle beat cincinnati pittsburgh over the jets orleans beat buffalo washington came back to beat san diego 26-21 and four dan reeves done an outstanding job since he came here [Applause] looking at mark jackson who slipped down right on the sideline again i think this giant defense gets in that soft zone you know that two deep zone and they play that better than anyone in football and i think that if you get behind it it's really tough i mean if you just look at how they play just let it roll here and you'll see how how they get deep and then if we can just stop it here you see they got the zone here and then they got the safeties back in here deep and they just make your throw into areas that you don't want to throw in third and four [Applause] elway bought enough time got it to vance johnson sheldon white a pickup of 19 and the broncos move into giant territory 7 19 left to play in the third quarter there's a penalty marker down [Applause] oh [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] ball against perry williams and that would be a legal use of the hands it was probably when he rotates up in that zone hitting the receiver and then hitting to the head or hitting them after five yards first and ten from the giants 47. that one was on the hop to vance johnson leonard marshall got the push and then he was worried that he was going to get a penalty watch a big lander number seven he does a spinner in there comes out of the spinner straight up after he hits elway then after you do that then you put your hands up in the air now when you put your hands up in the air that means you didn't do anything or at least you didn't mean to [Applause] second [Applause] clarence k [Applause] [Music] you know it's interesting that the giants are now putting pressure on elway and the broncos are having to go back to the team that they were a couple years ago where they're just a passing team and the thing that does that is the way the giants have played offense now elway has to go back now the giants can take off now they can pressure him and they could play bill parcells type of game leonard marshall by the way has four tackles one assist and one sack as the giants will put the pressure on this time with just two lions and two linebackers the pressure is there from eric howard who misses down the sideline to get a first down a pickup of very eleven to see if your inbounds are out well it is but still this is a heck of an athlete going down the sideline first of all he outruns eric howard then he finds there's nothing there then he's going to start down the sidelines tiptoeing now you can't see the sideline so you don't know if he's honored or not but he knows where the first down marker is and he goes out just after he picks up the first first down at the giant 36 for denver [Applause] incomplete intended for vance johnson [Music] you know the thing about that sideline pat is defensive players have been taught all their life you play the whistle so it's not that you play the sidelines you play first downs you play markers you play nothing you play the ball and then you play the whistle [Applause] second and ten [Applause] they're at the giants 36 the broncos trailing 14-0 [Applause] draw play i think that's sammy winder stopped by myron guyton [Applause] [Music] that is the toughest thing to do in this kind of field is is to make cuts you know i think that you could run but when you try and plant your foot you see he plants right there and as he tries to twist over and cut back that right foot just slid out from under him and sammy weiner is an eight-year veteran this isn't the first time he's done it third and ten jackson in motion [Applause] finally caught michael young juggled it a couple of times and got it just before it hit the ground williams and guyton on the stops let's just they have a double team they got two guys out there michael young goes up for the ball it comes out there then he goes for it again it goes out again and then on the third time he's going to dive and make the catch that was a heck of an effort first and ten denver on the giant 23 the handoff is to humphrey [Applause] reasons up to make the stop elway has scattered it around pretty well you can see that he's thrown six to his wide receivers fourth to the running backs three to the tight end six of the wide receivers two to the tie down [Applause] second and seven at the 20. this is as deep as denver has been in giant territory today humphrey is the lone setback elway got away from one man got away from another one that is hammered by reason really popped by gary reason john elway in the last three plays has made two of the greatest moves that i've seen and gary reasons on the last two plays and made two of the hardest hits that i've seen all year but watch elway on this play i mean he brings the ball down pop spins he's gonna go he's looking avoiding the tackle there just comes out of a spin and watch gary reasons unload on him that's gerald perry who's down it hasn't been a tough day for him 14-0 giants [Music] hey i ordered already i found just a great wine oh a decision maker oh this is wonderful wine i had this at david's i served this at my place it was a big hit you guys i was hoping you hadn't tried it yet oh come on we finally found something we all agree on you know i mean when was the last time that happened ernest and julio gallo invite you to try white grenache it will change the way you think about gallow imagine a world beneath the sea with an enchanted mcdonald's of pure fantasy where the little mermaid's friend sebastian and flounder the fish come to life to grant your holiday buy a five dollar book of mcdonald's gift certificates and get a free plush ornament either flounder or sebastian i always knew i'd be famous from the all-new disney animated feature the little mermaid now in theaters everywhere so come to mcdonald's hurry along like a true fantasy it's here then it's gone [Music] four three two one [Applause] [Music] you know the difference between the ac delco parts that go into race cars and the ones that go into your car there isn't any if you want to win run with a winner [Music] [Applause] perry on the sidelines watch what happened to him here pat we'll see that he's going to get hit he's going to get hit by johnny cook as we go up here and and there he is right there and that wouldn't stop it here when you see here's cooks he gets blocked right into gerald perry there see and that just takes out that knee [Applause] third three and he's down inside the 10. mark collins made the stop first and ten at the 10. [Applause] and from the way the yard line markers are you can't really tell it looks as if they can't make a first down without making a touchdown [Applause] to about the two stopped [Applause] hey the broncos have gotten themselves back in this they're starting to get control on the line they're starting to to get angles they're making holes and they're making areas that the running back can get through they're giving elway some protection and then john elway himself is making a big play second and goal at the two humphrey and bretton behind elway didn't quite get there [Applause] i'm sure what the giants are thinking of now pat as they bring up third down here there's bill belichick who's the defensive coordinator of the giant they're thinking of that great goal line stand they had last week against the eagle and this is a thing that you have to do you have to get penetration you have to get lower than they get you have to give them no place to go underneath and no place to jump eric howard took care of the underneath good penetration humphrey has a deep back in the eye [Applause] [Music] who made a big stop last week just made another one now this is football down here you get down here and the trenches guys logging around bodies flying around i tell you the giants are not going to be tonight here steve steve diaz was the guy who made that play last week he was the guy who made the big play against the eagles number 99. no way asking for quiet don't forget he can roll out and likes to like a shot that is great football gary reasons on that drive made three of the best hits i've ever seen him make in his life i've ever seen anyone make and this is the best of the three best wow look at the determination he reads run the whole way he reads humphrey the whole way he takes off for the jump before humphrey takes off for his jump that is football so the giants will operate from their own end zone martha trying to get outside wrapped up by simon fletcher the word on gerald perry is that he has a bruised knee and will return you know the first thing that the giants are thinking here is get the ball out beyond the five yard line to give the punter their full distance he has six tackles but three of them were awfully hard hit one on elway and one on humphrey particularly right and when you lose a player like the giants of lost florence taylor guys like gary reasons have to pick up the slot second and ten giants at their own two not much there steve atwater up to stop maurice carthage what the broncos like about having big safeties is you have steve atwater they can put him up on a line of scrimmage like this they put their safety and he's as big as a linebacker and then they give he gives you that quick force and support with a big body brings up third and seven for the giants at their own five 20 seconds left to play in the third quarter now west four that was a big loss because now the broncos can come with a punt block see here they were that now the punter would add 15 yards when you lose this yardage here see he couldn't throw there he had to bring it back then when he had to bring it back he didn't have enough pass protection for that eriker and fletcher that's the end of the third quarter with a score the giants 14 denver nothing we now pause for word from your local station this is cbs long ago in this bell atlantic neighborhood you could hear brahms every afternoon played by a little girl just a telephone call away from fame a call that introduced us all to the glorious [Music] yet only one company saw

crazy women and madness next to robin cbs sports coverage of the national football league is sponsored by miller highlight by that man of miller the best comes shining through ac delco automotive parts that don't just fit they match and by today chevrolet who invite you to see why nobody's winning like the heartbeat of america fourth quarter about to begin at mile high stadium sean landeta will have to stand or hope to stand inside the back end zone line which is going to be hard to tell the broncos aren't going to come on a punt return they have two safeties deep so that they can be sure and catch the ball that's johnson and nikhil back deep right on the end line they have to hurry not bad mateo skips down to about the 32-yard line lee rousseau knocked him out of bounds smart move by the broncos once they decided not to try to block it to put two guys back there i think that's the thing you either have to do you'd have to go after it because he's going to have a short snap and try and block it or put two guys back there and make sure that you catch him [Applause] you know the thing that dan reeves was saying was interesting yesterday back when he was saying that one of the problems that we're having we had last week against the raiders is not moving the ball as much as when we get in position not scoring with it chased by washington and elway just had to throw it away in all fairness he hasn't had much time today good pressure carl banks was in his backfield you see it carl banks took a a swoop at him kind of like he did remember that randall cunningham thing he just wrapped both the arms around him watch carl banks 58 and all he comes up with is some air and some snow i think look elway just steps right out of that carol banks isn't going to like that one being another guy's highlights second down and 10 from the giants 32 humphrey went in motion wheeled it to karen clarence k but nothing was there he was hit by reasons of butted heads with reason reasons has been butting heads with boy with everyone out there today he's like a man possessed please come out there he said let's go up to denver mile high stadium and play some ball [Applause] the giants lead it 14 to nothing third and 10 from the giant 32. touchdown michael young you give john elway shots at you he's going to get his share of him right here it's a zone defense just get by the zone and you see canard he comes up sneak in behind him and there's no one around michael young but the other thing the pass rush is tired no one was pressuring elway extra point by treadwell is good that's 14-7 with a lot of time left look at the time elway had 14 29 left to be exactly [Music] number five [Music] life's full of simple pleasures like the comfort of levi's jeans our hedge forgotten this nfl game summary is sponsored by levi's 505 jeans the zipper fly jeans with a traditional levi's fit lawrence taylor of the giants has not played he dressed but hasn't been in for a down dave megan got a 57-yard screen pass from sims to score the touchdown the second touchdown for the giants john elway just got back in it with his broncos and i think the observation you just made is very significant the giants defense is getting tired that's what i think you know you think of one the you know chasing elway all day but then the other thing you think of pat is just altitude altitude right okay he has that gun he keeps taking shots the kickoff handle and then mishandled by mark ingram jim lucas was down to make the stop three plays 32 yards in 21 seconds to get the broncos on the board and this is where when you talk about your running game that you have to be able to run this is where you need your running game for the giants they need it on this drive are you talking about defense if we talk about your run defense this is where you have to stop the run [Applause] [Music] yeah these fans here in denver are great fans they understand their defense remember years they had that orange crush and that defense and they knew how to root for defense so they know this situation this is where their run defense has to do it second and six second and six giants ball at their own 16. complete to baker [Applause] wyoming henderson took him out of bounds [Applause] dave phil sims did what he had to do get him split backs get some protection looks out there finds his receiver throws it just as he is being hit the stephen baker now watch him now now his right side is his backside he is thrown turned away and he still has to step into it first down giants at their own 28. that's anderson he got two yards but there was a fumble they still haven't decided who has it [Applause] [Music] comes out saying we got it but it's not settled yet referee jerry markbright is down at the bottom of that pile trying to figure out who has it gary's down in there with him yeah he's at the bottom there lee roussanne pat came on a wham block he's the guy who comes in motion watch 22. he's going to block on the nose tackle craig so craigan makes a heck of a play when the ball pops out roussan was there and i think it was roussan number 22 who ended up with [Applause] good it by craig he gets over that block i think he's the guy that knocked the ball out but see because rason was in there to block it i think he was the guy who ended up with it second and eight outside the carbine a couple of yards short of the first down mumford randy robbins made the stop for denver six yard pickup [Applause] big down coming right now hey phil sims looks like a different quarterback in this game than he did a week ago i think part of that again is because they've been able to run i think the past protection like george blanda told me many many years ago the best weather to throw in is snow because you don't get the big pass rush i think the wind might be a factor too there's not a lot of wind and there certainly was last week incomplete intended for faker and here comes landeta oh that defense of the broncos that had improved this year love ashley started and played like it on that last ride in the first half it looked like the giants were getting through him pretty well again they put safe two safety men back johnson and the teal will be the deal no place to go he is hammered by the giant coverage team renee thompson the first 14-7 1205 left to play pure genuine never heat pasteurized a beer that's made unlike any other cold filtered to give you the rich smooth taste of real drab beer that's the mark of a great beer so tap into the cold cold filtered miller genuine draft every year it gets harder to keep the guys hands off their gifts that's because i always give them good looking isotoner gloves so i'm hiding them in my locker now they won't be grabbing these comfortable great fitting gloves so take care of the hands that take care of you but take care where you put the isotoner gloves and now isotoner fans there's a present for your feet aisha toner is introducing slippers and socks for men catch them at fine stores everywhere we asked mike schmidt to help us show you why the new halftime chevy work truck is better than ford with more two-sided galvanized steel more standard power and a new dura grill that's tougher than ford the lawyers told me i couldn't hit a ford like this know why you know why nobody's winning like the heartbeat of america truck is today the hard luck cowboys trying to topple the play-off of reach it all starts with a special nfl today next saturday at noon eastern on cbs sports this is not all of it but this is part of the playoff picture philadelphia's record is ten and four as they lead the nfc east minnesota improved to nine and five today san francisco's 11-2 they play the rams tomorrow night and those are the teams still alive in the nfc elway back to throw from his own 31 chased by banks gets it out to brent [Applause] [Music] not much a gain of one [Applause] the afc again buffalo eight to six houston improves to nine and five denver's ten at three they have quenched the division title they're playing for the home field advantage the wild card scramble in the afc is still very complicated all those teams still with a chance well you know at the beginning of the day they put those things in computers and like in the afc there were like 642 different combinations lawrence taylor at the bottom of your picture hellway pass almost intercepted by perry williams leonard marshall might have deflected it but lawrence taylor is playing now with a a back spasm and a broken ankle i bet you just knowing him that when they scored he wanted to shut him out and then he said to heck with it i want to get in there i want to play let's get in here and win this game that was marshall that got his hand on it made a one-handed grab nathiel had the first down and cut back he had it and lost it this is a situation that is going to be interesting i'm sure dan reeves has to go for it but he has to remember he got down on the goal line and couldn't do it and i would bet that he doesn't use the same type of plays he used on the goal line because i would think that the giants will use the same type of defense they used on the goal line i would [Applause] [Music] they're going to measure it meteo without question had the first down and then went backwards trying to get more yardage where's the coach that used to drive me oh yeah i bet i used to always want him to go for the big play but always know where the first down is and once you have it never go back where you were this isn't a gimme either no that doesn't look like much but that isn't automatic [Applause] look at the couple of plays elway makes here first a heck of a play by catching the ball then finding the teal and then concentrated and into drilling it out to him now as you say now he had the first down and if he had fallen forward it would have been a first down they changed their mind moran in the game i'm sure he remembered that goal line of course you could always remember the giants went on a fake punt [Applause] [Applause] so we have 1105 left to play for the giants leading 14-7 at mile high stadium [Applause] this is something different the body panels will never rest [Music] the seats can be arranged to seat up to seven and ask yourself have you ever traveled like this before meet the new family lumina apv when it comes to new ideas for the family nobody's winning like [Music] tots the premium champagne looks like winter just get in that poor fellow's battery i wonder if he's smart enough to replace it with a battery built for extremes a maintenance-free high-cranking delco smart felon ac delco parts they don't just fit they match fasten your seatbelts it's gonna be a breathtaking weekend the hard luck cowboys try to topple the playoff and rage shite followed by a season premiere featuring blue demons and tar heels the return of college basketball and the usual prize major going for the bouquet green bay's cardiac pack attack meets mike and the bears the nfl intensifies college hoax returns and the excitement explodes here on cbs sports [Music] mile high stadium has really been given a dusting today snowed all night and it's continued all day a giant scoring summary lotus anderson got his 11th touchdown of the year three-yard run phil sims a 57-yard screen pass on which dave meggett made a heck of a play an elway 32-yard pass to young 14-7 giants 1105 left to play anderson the lone set back first and ten giants at their own 21. anderson to about the 25 a pickup of three [Applause] michael brooks made this stop yeah you look at this and it shows the defense that the broncos have played in the second half because the giants haven't been able to get anything going five plays three plays three plays and five plays so in the first half they had a couple of great drives in the second half they really haven't had any drive second and seven from the 25. sam's [Applause] you can just see in his eyes that i mean you can see snow in his eyes now but you know that he knows what championship football is and he knows when you get this close to it you can't let it get away they felt they let it get away last week against the eagles they got a lead here they have to feel they can't let this one get away 37 giants at their own 25. megan is in the backfield with sims the rush by holmes sims got the first down [Applause] at water had a shot at him and missed him that water was standing there sims just gave him air and atwater just sat there and pounded on the ground he's the number one draft choice that was what he was drafted for because he's a good tackler to make tackle then on third down when that quarterback runs you can't miss that tackle that was a big play for the giants that play john puts the giants over 100 yards rushing which we talked about in the beginning that's what they have to do to play giant football tillman is the deep back gain brooks made a stop we were talking to dan reeves yesterday and he said that michael brooks gives you pass rush but the other thing he said he does is he really plays the end run well now watch him play that of course there wasn't much of a block maurice karthon was on the line of scrimmage trying to block him and you really have to hold that thing until the guy gets there [Applause] second and ten at the 36. the giants 36. you can't tell which way they're going really or where they are parthon hit almost as soon as he caught the ball dennis smith was the first one there pick up a 3. i don't remember doing many games like this pat but i i love him i love this you know i mean just remind there's no dome stadium here there's no artificial turf there's none of that stuff it's just it's just man against the elements and against the other team too the blessing is there's not much wind third and seven and they have another first down and they keep the football they can get on phil sims but i'll tell you he is a tough guy and he has made a couple of big plays on this drive nine yards on that one the first third down remember he ran he picked up a first down here it's third down he finds megan in there and zips the ball to him of course two things one they've been able to run for over 100 yards and this right here pass protection letting them have a little time letting them step up first and 10 at the 49. anderson to his right for about three rick dennison made the stop you can see it in that bronco defense in their eyes there that that they had him backed up they had him in those third downs and they let it get away and you can just feel that when you're down by seven that's okay but when that time is getting close to just six minutes left that puts another element of pressure on you second and seven at the denver 48 38 flip anderson slit for two maybe [Music] [Applause] i think oj anderson was running in there in that second down play with one thought in mind don't fumble he was protecting that ball and he wasn't going to let that one pop out of there you know he's done a heck of a job we just saw a picture of there's eric moore number 60. was sick last week and didn't play and then with jumbo elliott couldn't play he had to move out to left tackle done a good job of blocking pass protecting and run blocking third and six maggot was the intended receiver can't help hold on he was being shadowed by atwater sims made his part of it he he he felt that they lost containment he got outside to his left he had to decide whether to run or pass megan was open he just didn't catch him but that was still a good drive for the giants because they got the ball to midfield took a lot of time off the clock and the broncos are going to be backed up and again they have two safety men mitchell and vance johnson back nation signals fair catch and the ball bounds into the end zone they'll start from their 20. 47 yard punt by lambda the giants got two touchdowns in the second quarter three yards from anderson 57 yards from megat if you look at the rest of the scores from today around the league minnesota starting to play better kansas city is playing a lot better detroit is too late houston hung on against tampa bay seattle upsets cincinnati it's 14-7 giants over the broncos here elway vance johnson out of bounds to stop the clock in front of perry williams pittsburgh shut out the jets new orleans beat buffalo new orleans in spite of that eliminated you know these guys are out here on the on the field pat now staying in front of the teams and and knocking these lines back but at least on this on this drive they're out there cleaning the lines off in front of them now how can you sweat the snow like that man you're into the game first and 10 at the 30. elway for johnson mark jackson sorry mark collins on the coverage and good coverage let's go back for an nfl update to new york and brent busberger hey pat in some places the sun is shining beautiful this is southern california this is how the cardinals went ahead pat you reported the score that short pass to nova check now 14-9 over the raiders great kickoff return though raiders coming back and let's go back to pat and john the snow continues it's 14-7 5-13 left to play second and 10 denver at their own 30. the vance johnson [Applause] [Music] stopped by pepper johnson a yard short of the first down well john elway has taken over this game but you know that bill parcells was saying other than the shotgun elwade doesn't drop back anymore he waggles and rolls and bootlegs and runs that was his 14th straight drop back but i think that when they were ahead that was the way they played now john elway has to take over this game and win it for the bronco well i need a yard for a first down at their own 39. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] jackson was the man in motion all the way back to florida up the middle complete to vance johnson again they'll move the sticks to the 45. that's what i said you know they got down here in the goal line they tried to do it with their running game they didn't get in and from now on down 14-7 this is going to be john elway's game it almost has to be right you get third and short they aren't going to run and try and pick up they're going to let him go back and throw it they got to start looking at that clock now less than four minutes they need to make something happen in a hurry clarence k was open and elway got a shot to him harry williams brought him down after a pickup of 13. you know this is the time to throw it too because like i said late in the game in mile high stadium the visiting team always gets more tired and it's you know it's part of jason elway all day and the other part is the altitude 3 20 left to play 14-7 giants mobley moves on the left elway swings it out to humphrey humphrey gets a first down with his ability knocked out of bounds by colin but a gain of 13. you see those pass rushes back they could hardly get off the line of scrimmage that's the thing and you give a quarterback like john elway time he'll kill you i'll tell you something john i was down on the field before the game and we're up pretty high in the press box when i walked up the steps not that i'm in this kind of shape i could tell it oh yeah you can tell that's why they call it mile high stadium they remind you of it all the time they don't call it like denver stadium or broncos station it's mile high to the outside over bratton's head that was great coverage that time by the giants elway was trying to go in the middle and deep he couldn't find anything and bratton was like his third receiver on that one while we have a moment the coordinating producer of the nfl on cbs is charles milton iii this game produced by robert d center directed by sandy grossman and the executive producer of cbs sports's ted shaker second down [Applause] knocked him out of bounds pickup of 11. and the broncos move closer and so does the clock move closer to the end of the game 235 left both teams with all three timeouts remaining and mile high stadium is rocking and off to bratton picked up three down to the 15 pepper johnson stopped him and reeves since he's been here his club has the best record in pro football two-minute warning comes to us 14-7 a giants lead to bronco [Applause] so i'm running late i had to call phoenix so i'm using this other long-distance company i dialed the wrong number i got this going what is this phoenix no you raised fiji i dial again again what if you call the operator for credit she said i'd have to talk to customer billing i said at t operators gave me instant credit she said you are not dealing with a t who i am now people who thought they could do better than a t are coming back for the real value aren't you glad you never left who's pulling away an advanced 4x4 technology chevy s10 blazer or ford bronco 2 chevy pulls away in power with the biggest v6 engine in its class chevy pulls away with instatrack america's favorite four-wheel drive system chevy pulls away in fun with the country's number one sport utility vehicle when it comes to today's four by fours it's chevy s10 blazer clean and simple nobody's winning like the heartbeat of america today's truck is chevrolet on october 28th for two tempting hours mel kaiser was on easy street i was behind an armored truck the rear door popped open and it was raining money but instead of keeping it mel turned in over 57 000 well they call me mr honesty i've been called worse to everyday heroes everywhere we offer our best smooth never bitter miller beer i got it [Music] [Applause] why me [Music] join us next saturday at 12 eastern for the nfl today in nfl action when the dallas cowboys play the new york giants then at 3 45 eastern time for the season premiere of college basketball on cbs joey meyer takes his depaul blue demons down to north to carolina to take on the north carolina tar heels of dean smith second down and seven at the giant 15 with two minutes remaining that's the owner of the broncos in the middle pat poland [Music] the humphrey up the middle couldn't find the handle third down well the broncos are definitely in four down territory here because when you're down by seven and less than two minutes to go you you have to go for it on fourth down so that's one thing that dan reeves could think about here is he has seven yards to go but he could think about one going for the score two for the first down or three getting the first down and two play takes you back to a couple of other fourth down situations earlier in this contest elway out of the end zone incomplete intended for ricky nation used up just nine seconds isn't it funny how you play all day pat also and the whole game is gonna depend right here on this play if the giants can stop them they'll win the game if they can't we could very well be looking at overtime elway paid a visit to the sideline now he'll have sewell and i'm sure well i see clarence k he better watch the clock because he's breaking the huddle he only has 12 seconds to get this play off gotta hurry he's down to six now [Applause] he has time [Music] [Applause] [Music] the last one by k [Music] [Applause] watch it here he had good pass protection he takes the thing zips it in here boom up in the air again they still have a gentleman goes offshore now it's coming up in the air it's a jump ball the giants win the jump ball meyer and guyton won the jump now the giants do have to get a first down because even though there's only one 45 left the broncos do have all their timeouts first and ten giants at their own fifteen sims to anderson by home [Applause] mile high stadium in denver for those of you expecting to see 60 minutes i'm pat summerhall along with john madden welcome to denver's mile high stadium where the tour is the giants 14 the broncos 7. 60 minutes will be seen in its entirety following football except in the pacific and mountain time zones where it will be seen at its regular time to summarize the scoring the giants seven nothing when anderson scored on a three yard run and on a remarkable run by megat it was 14 nothing giants elway got denver on the scoreboard with a 32-yard touchdown pass to young just as the fourth quarter began it's 14-7 our boys have braved the elements today yeah they've done a heck of a job hanging in there and haven't they pictures in addition to hanging in there second and nine [Music] very first coming to ingram to lee roussan stop short of the first down a pickup of six tonight on cbs begins with 60 minutes then murder she wrote and then the cbs sunday movie money power and murder that's tonight on cbs giants 14. denver seven a minute and a half left to play this is a big down here for both teams because if the giants get a first down then there's nothing the broncos can do about it but it's a third and a long three now if you run and don't make it you're going to force them to take the time out if you pass and don't make it if it's an incomplete pass then that stops the clock or gives them enough another timeout this is a tough decision they're back at their own 22-yard line [Applause] and ready to do whatever they're going to do baker split wide left ingram right tarthan was the man in motion the handoff is to anderson he won't get the first down mecklenburg wrapped him up timeout denver [Applause] this telecast is presented by authority of the national football league it's intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the denver broncos in the national football league is prohibited the rest of the people responsible for this outstanding effort under very adverse conditions [Applause] all we can do is say thank you they can they do an outstanding job not only in adverse conditions but in in all kind of conditions there they're there amazing things that they do tell you the broncos are going to get the the ball back they get a an automatic timeout here now with time of possession i mean with change of possession and they won't have that far to go if they handle the punch but they won't have any time out right landeta got off a fine punt nation handles it 4-6 on the hang time rene thompson down to make the stop on latio that was a great play by renee thompson bray thompson sprinted down that field he looked like he was running a 4-4-40 and not only that but when he got down there he made a tackle a big part by lindena great coverage by renee thompson so denver takes over in his own 23. and elway has a tough task a minute 15 remain four wide receivers vance johnson couldn't hang on [Applause] you know sometimes the it's a little things like renee thompson's coverage that oh yeah yeah i mean you you remember the quarterback and the running backs and the guy that gets his badge but this guy made a big big big play after a great punt by sean landata and the players know it the players were all there jumping on thompson and knocking them and everything [Applause] second and ten they used five seconds [Applause] johnny cooks knocked it pass away are so tired they can't really get too elway in fact they can't get off the line but if you're not going to get to them if you're not going to get off the line then jump up and make them throw over or through something that's what johnny cooks did [Applause] [Music] [Applause] third down michael young brought down by sheldon white 22-yard gain but the clock is running elway [Applause] [Music] brought it down got to take some shots at the end zone now and instead he decides to just stop the clock i think what happened he didn't even have his wide receivers back to the line of scrimmage yet he probably knew to try and run a play he couldn't get anything out of it so he would burn it down and try and regroup and huddle up and let dan reeve send in her signal in a play [Applause] that makes it third in five 23 seconds left three wide receivers to the right 14-7 giants [Applause] [Music] [Applause] jackson 15 seconds left nobody else in football could make that throw [Applause] he was looking to his right then he threw it across his body all the way across the field and that thing had no arc on it at all that was all john elway that was all zip and the giants have very very little gas left in their tank 15 seconds left [Applause] [Music] [Applause] up close to it but myron guyton knocked it away eight seconds [Applause] one thing about dan reeves he is a competitor that deal about clinching division clinching home field means nothing to him no matter what game you go into you go in it to win and if they don't get this one that will give them two losses in a row bill parcells on the other hand has done an outstanding coaching job bringing this club back because it was tough they lose to the 49ers monday night they come back lose to the eagles he didn't know what he had here today but he got great great effort [Applause] same thing again incomplete and that's the ball game [Applause] [Music] elway was 23 out of 47. [Music] 14-7 giant victory is parcells and reeds shake hands and a giant stay record-wise at least in a first-place tie with philadelphia at 10-4 [Music] deja vu you just bought that somebody stole it i set down the package to help megan and when i turned around it was gone is it gone daddy oh no oh yes didn't you use american express you mean that's it it's automatic whatever you buy with the american express card is covered mr wilcox even gifts oh we were counting on that lost stolen or damaged having a way to protect the things you buy staying on top is not easy you have to give 110 and expect it from yourself every one everything speed stick deodorant gives 110 that's its edge why it has no alcohol and alcohol evaporates speed stick protection doesn't evaporate even after 24 hours glides on dry in just a few strokes that's 110 protection speed stick deodorant the wide stick that's your edge for john madden i'm pat sumrall saying so long from denver's mile high stadium where the final score was the giants 14 the broncos 7. join us saturday at 12 o'clock eastern for the nfl today and nfl action as the dallas cowboys take on the new york giants then at 3 45 the season premiere of college basketball of cbs the blue demons of de paul against the tar heels of north carolina you've been watching cbs sports coverage of the national football league one airline works harder than any other to make sure that a good landing not only means getting you there on time but landing your bag in your hand on time as well united come fly the friendly [Music] look to skies
