Cosell welcome to another Monday night of NFL football we begin our show tonight just a little differently prior to the rams Colts game we are bringing on to meet you a gentleman who got his first season ticket for a Colts game when a returning service veteran in 1947 the former governor of Maryland and of course the vice president of the United States mr. spiro agnew and sir your knowledge of the Colts through all the years is extraordinary I'm very loyal Colt fan in spite of my national connections Howard I stick with the Colts it's not an easy thing for you then to pretend to a neutrality well there are so many politicians who are fans that I don't feel that it's impossible that one person ought to stay with the Colts I would like if we had time sir which obviously we do not to explore your memories of such as our Donovan and Gino Marchetti but Unitas was the one for you was a great one and still is very good sir thank you so much for coming by for you we wish a Colts victory for us in the booth absolute neutrality the vice president of the United States here tonight back with his home team and now with both teams desperately needing a victory to stay alive in their respective division races tonight we begin with our analysis of the Los Angeles Rams via the brilliant expertise of the gifted quarterback of yesteryear dandy Don Meredith Thank You Howard thank you very much certainly nice to have vice president agnya with us tonight what you probably didn't notice he was wearing a Howard Cosell rest what talk about the Los Angeles Rams team we'll start with their offense the Rams have not been that outstanding on offense this year they have used two primary receivers both of them wide receivers number 13 is Lance Russell who is tied for the lead as the leading receiver from the Rams with 220 receptions this year averaging however only one point nine with 19 receptors this year is Jax no I'm ready for the other outside receiver for the Los Angeles Rams and jackets caught 19 passes this year but he is averaged 17.6 eight each time he's got the ball one thing that might be pointed out again about Lance Russell incidentally as he has carried the ball running nine times there's average a little over 12 yards the RAM defense is always made up or has been in the past about their strong pass rush they have to Olson boys in the middle and they're pretty dadgum good you got on the outside you've got Deacon Jones on one side acquired bake on the other they have a fine defensive team they're struggling to stay in the thick of this foul and I'd like to bring on Frank Gifford to talk to you about the Baltimore or a moral falter Johnny Unitas would come on but its defense that the Baltimore so truly a standout ballclub they've given up only 55 points from seven ball games that's remarkable only one tuck into it with their front four we talked a lot about his own defense and we hope we don't confuse you we've mentioned it over the past few weeks the reason we talk about it because the zone defense in itself is making some very dramatic changes in the game of football how often do you see the long bomb anymore receiver working individually against the cornerback not very often the receivers today after work in areas the zone defense provides areas good receivers can work in a good quarterback in pick a zone apart they used to be in the old days that only the bad teams play the zone defense but now the good ones play it and no one plays a better than Baltimore and let's look at them two weeks ago against the Minnesota Vikings you'll see Jim Duncan the right cornerback he's number 35 Rick both 21 Duncan the bottom of your screen rolling up playing the short zone Rick both dropping deep over the middle the pass to the open area Oscar Reed finds that open area the left corner it almost forms an umbrella that zone on the left corner is Jerry Logan on the other side is Charlie Stoops 47 the Colts with four great defensive secondary men use the zone of perfection here it is again look at 35 Duncan moving up can hit here deep is Rick poke now Stu Boyd - tied into the Vikings finds the open area and you get the completion but believe me is hard to work against four great defenders when they play a good zone defense like Baltimore we'll be watching it tonight and that's the end of our pregame activities we'll be ready for the opening kickoff between the Los Angeles Rams and the Baltimore Colts in just a moment from cold cold Baltimore if you think shaving your chin is hard how do you think I feel up here

the Los Angeles Rams record this year for two and one they trailed the San Francisco 49ers by only a half game if they can win tonight the Baltimore Colts record is five and two they need this victory to stay a half game behind Miami in the AFC's Eastern Division great Baltimore defensive Club against some fine often C players for the Los Angeles Rams the Rams unlike the teams in the past directed by their rookie head coach Tommy Pro throw a lot of college high jinks you'll see many reverses the fourth leading rusher for the Rams is their flanker Lance Russell and that comes from reverses Jim O'Brien will kick off of the Baltimore Colts deep number 23 Alberta Heyman and number 25 the speedster Travis Williams and he has broken open for many football games returning kickoffs this is Jim

defensive huddle is big Bubba Smith 6 7 275 pounds and having a superb year Freddy Miller is the right tackle 74 the veteran Freddy Miller the right defensive end of 85 Roy Hilton third down we'll call it 5 the ball just over the 35 yard line of the Rams were just underway in Baltimore Smith again and it appears he will be short of the first down tip Hendricks makes the tackle this telecast is presented by authority of the Baltimore Colts Football Club this intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the Baltimore Colts football club in the National Football League is prohibited that stud still comes on to do the punting there you see his average for the year deep Tom Curtis number 25 and Rick folk Oh ugly end over kick Curtis with the fair catch at the 34 yard line the Baltimore a partisan capacity crowd takes over for their first series on offense not bad field position not a very good kick by a stud still and Frank as you remember we were advised to look for something special on the first play by the Colts when they had the ball we don't know exactly what's coming up that's supposed to be special but let's look anyway and Earl Mauro brings up the coast first and ten on their own 34 yard line in motion miss Perkins the reverse - Eddie Hinton out of bounds up just short of the 40-yard line Eddie Hampton coming around nettles was there along with Kermit Alexander [Applause] offensively for the Baltimore Colts take a look at it again here's Eddie hitting this Howard misses the Colts are notorious more or less for their first play they found do something a little bit different and in the round by hit and he does have the speed to break a long gainer he did pick up about five or six yards on that what silicosis to have good field position Eddie Hinton out Willie Richardson in took him down along three motion now Willie Richardson to the left foolish Mattie the setbacks Tom Madi with the play fake Earl morale firing for bullish incomplete Isiah Robertson back there on the coverage beautiful coverage by the rookie linebacker as he dropped back with big Bo and Adam picketed all the way well they Richardson is at one flaw wide receiver spot for the Baltimore Colts Ray Perkins the other Richardson is 87 coming off a two touchdown performance last week against the Steelers Perkins number 27 the flanker John Mackey's the tight end number 88 bill curry the senator 50 john williams and wrestler lynn rest with other guards Bob Bogle the left tackle number 72 the right tackle is Dan Sullivan third down along three the ball just over the 40-yard line of the Baltimore Colts Perkinson Richardson both right now Richardson motions left well again look at for Mattie Maddie who had just about the yardie for the first down but did he have enough it is a period that he has Marla McKeever in on the stop first down in Baltimore Marla McKeever number 86 the middle linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams in front of Mara McKeever a pair well as a brother act Phil Olson 72 and Merlin Olsen 74 they're the tackles for the Rams Dave Jones 75 the left defensive employ bacon the right defense against 79 Isaiah Robertson one linebacker 58 Jim Finnell the other 53 first and 10 for the folks just short of the 45 yard line Dave Elmendorf drags down bullish who moves over the 50 yard line into Ram territory at secondary for the Rams Dean Howard the right cornerback 21 Dave Elmendorf is the free safety the rookie from Texas A&M German Alexander the tight safety number 39 Jim nettles at the left cornerback number 19 and there he is a legend in the college football ranks at the age of 50 deserted job security and said I want to give it a try in the probe because that's where the action is the bomb the 48 yard line of the Rams weapons right Richard some levers Maddie big hole [Applause] till around 42 yard line Herman Alexander and Marlon McKeever there to make the stop another cult first down mr. everything Tom Mehdi kind of typifies the hold Colts team does nothing spectacular lay well son said once he was too slow but somehow he puts it all together and does what you have to do to win and that's what the Colts did all last year right through the Superbowl 84 Tom Mitchell is now but tight in first and ten for the Colts they're moving from the Rams 42 Richardson motion left the fake Grotta Matty firing for bull - Isaiah Robertson almost picks it off and Don McCafferty in his rookie year last year he led these Baltimore Colts to the world's championship of football 16 to 13 win over the Dallas Cowboys they call him Easy Rider because he's a kind of the gentleman at 6'5 and on that last play Frank as you noted number 58 a sire Robinson knocked the pass down that's the third play you've seen this brilliant young rookie from Southern University and already keep an eye on him all night two rookies in this defensive unit the other Bing they already mentioned number 42 Dave elmond off and prothero has proved that his confidence in these rookies has not been misplaced as the Rams have built himself into contention again Earl Morrill moving from the Rams 42 on second and 10 again Richardson motioning left fired for Perkins he has the football he's in the arms of metal for the scrambles inside the 30 yard finally dragging Perkins down super catched by Perkins there he caught that one between two defenders one of the reasons to send a man in motion as they have done the Colts have done the last few plays is that it makes the defense change their coverage at the last instant at the last second so you'll see Richardson going motion to one side if the Colts had designed a zone in their defensive huddle that won't lessen change it when they see a man go in motion because you can't let them land with Richardson speed and knowledge of the game gets loose man-to-man covers on the wide side of the field first and ten for Baltimore on the Rams 29 yard line hop to the left if Richardson motion right is Perkins the ball goes to bullish and he's hit hard Wow what's he hit that's one of the Olsen boys up there boy bacon finally made the stop but he ran into I believe either Dave Jones or Merlin open number 75 is domed watch actually that's McKeever coming up from his middle linebacker along with Jones as we've mentioned before foolish he's having a super year and he is not only a speed runner but a power runner keeper had a good lick going in that time whoever was he'll think about it next time second of ten for Baltimore moving now from the 29 yard line Perkins motions right Morrow looking deep for Richardson this one will be picked off gene Howard Dean Howard scrambling a pull to the 15 to the 19 yard line right that ball was fully thrown he had a man open out in the flat it was bullish I suppose he was trying to go deep but it was terribly underthrown ten or twelve yards I would say and Howard was right in the middle and with time out the score is Baltimore nothing of the Rams nothing unfortunately your new 1972 winner is almost ready for delivery fortunately a new Firestone Tire that will change the way you feel about winter driving is ready for delivery now Firestone stops you cold start you go don't you steer your way through winter weather you Firestone asymetrical Town &

control on ice weather always has a few surprises for you this year get Firestone asymmetrical Town & Country tires from your Firestone dealer or store you will have a few surprises for wetter Isiah Robertson on that last play moved in on Earl moral he was not a bliss he just had no one to cover watch this that's smarts Jean Howard has picked it off the Rams moving back to the 29 yard line their own 29 yard line take over first and 10 a little over eight minutes in the first quarter remain to be played Gabriel marking the automatic Smith whether Ellison the Rams leading ground gainer tackled by Jerry Logan Ellis is having a heck of year for the rims he has caught 20 passes and his Franklin he is a leading ground gainer averaging a little over four yards per carry he's been kind of on again off again football player he seems to have got it together this year the Rams sucking down it to a pickup of eight by Ellison bristle and flying the tight end our to the left Russell 13 climb a t-rex snow is on the right side this is Smith another big hole Mike Curtis makes the stop from his middle I'm backing position plenty of yardage for the first down moving through the 44 is Larry Smith another versatile football player for the Rams he's averaging just under six yards as a matter of fact the Rams have had a fine running game all year long first and ten for the Rams on their own 44 yard line out to the left some blasts whistle back snow the otherwise Lucy look is inside wrestle the second RAM in that you can see [Music] [Applause] Delaware for Larry Smith number 81 Billy Newsom moves in to make the stop and Billy Newsom has been a fine surprise for the Baltimore Colts this year he's tied with Bubba Smith at getting an opposition quarterbacks as a matter of fact the Colts the last four games have tackled the opposition quarterback 18 times was pretty good not too bad but then defenses - dick second and 10 the Rams moving from their own 44 yard line now the two wide receivers rent silence no go out to the right [Applause] [Music] late drop back both backs out intended for Ellison and deflected that's been one of the assets at Rowland Gable his head they say he's six foot four almost six foot five he very seldom get guest passes block that time he did get the pressure and he did through it Roman has gotten off to a rather slow start this year his last two games have been by far his best of the season he was agent earlier was had some ribs and he was at a slight concussion against the 49ers and only in the last two ballgames has he been passing with the efficiency that Roman has passed within the past clear down again the Rams moving from their own 43 yard line lively savers what the gender swap snow off to the right Gabriel or men so wide open Renshaw gets five Stoops he's out of bounds inside the Baltimore Colts 35 yard line raime forcing whistle out of bounds we've written many times let's take a look at it again whistle coming from the slot you'll see on the outside another wide receiver he was hit for the linebacker come down to the middle the Colts made an adjustment thing they had Rick bolt out on the secondary number 83 Ted Hendricks is the linebacker he was actually own rental man from an Restless playing about 195 this year his playing wait for the last two three years has been close to 210 the Rams are delighted know his past reception but his ability to run after he catches it first and 10 Rams are on the Colts 31 yard line 25-yard picked up by Lance whistle there xalapa left's nose to the right flying the tight end on the left side set backs Allison Smith this is Ellison Ellison with a good block chabela with a fine block brings Ellison who's inside the 10 yard the Baltimore Colts Mike Curtis makes the stop break as you know most quarterbacks have a tendency to kind of under play any question or any answer that you ask him I asked Roman and Gerry Rome both before this game what do you plan to do in the standard questions well we know they're a good defensive team but we do feel that we can run against them I said look Roman you hear that a lot he says no we have to they do play the zone better than anybody we've seen so we do have to run against them and he is mixed up his running game very well on first and ten from the 18 mrs. Smith tip stop by Mike Kurdish pickup of about a half the ball just inside the 16 yard line of the Colts another thing if we mentioned earlier those Rams like to do a like wall to run a lot of reverses they run them to their tight end they run them to wrestle and they'll play fake off at those screen off it and every week they seem to put something new in missed a little Tommy pro throw wrinkle on second down and eight from the 16 wrestlers left snow is right [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they've gone Smith fine so belly again number 83 Ted Hendricks the right linebacker moves in on Smith he picks up maybe a yard but a fine line back of this man is he's six seven and 215 pounds another thing Frick he has the lateral pursuit how to do all the linebackers they're extremely fast they cover well they work every day in perfecting the zone defense therefore they have great lateral mute movement it's the opinion of most people that the best place to run against the Colts is inside the tackles home quick traps are straight power plays on the passing down third and 15 off to the left both wide receivers wrestle 13 at the bottom of the screen inside is that snow and Gabriel with the play fake firing out to Smith Smith inside the 15 for a pickup of about two or three Mike Curtis there to make the stop worth that fourth down and David Ray will come on for the attempted field goal David Ray 11 out of 15 for 49 points thus far he's kicked them from 47 46 45 he'll be kickin is from just inside the 20 yard line at the Baltimore Colts while we await the field goal try a quick reminder to our viewers and listeners the NCAA college football game on Thanksgiving Day Nebraska against Oklahoma here on ABC 2:30 Eastern Standard Time that'll be a good one David ray from the 20 that is good an NFL monday night football toss Angeles Rams versus the Baltimore Colts continues from Baltimore's Memorial Stadium with the score the Rams 3 but most nothing man in the Neanderthal period the cro-magnon period and the all wet period note be slicked down here today of course the look is dry and natural so command was created to hold without looking wet or oily blue label or normal here silver for stubborn and red with natural conditioners to help keep modern man dry period getting onto the freeway at rush hour is a challenge if your car has this problem step on the gas

foals for a lot of cars that's all you may need to overcome hesitation and help you meet the freeway challenge this is how you win football games a little over 5 minutes using nine plays that go 71 yards the rams are out in front of the Baltimore Colts by three David Ray to kickoff beeps number 23 McCauley and number 42 Charley Pittman I kick this is Pittman peckmon running hearts at the 25-yard line Matt there's Laos key makes the tackle for the Los Angeles Rams he's quite a story Frank mez Laos key never even played college football really came the camp and outside and nobody gave many kind of shot and he's turned up very well on the special duty to Baltimore first and ten the ball just over their own 25-yard line up to the left goes at Willie Richardson to the right miss Perkins Maddie on the sweep moving behind Williams 75 Williams with a fine block as patty moves up to 33 Isaiah Robertson to make the stop you know you watch more elite quarterback you know Unitas is behind him but George Plimpton the adventurous amateur point with the Detroit Lions some years ago switches teams in place with the ball of our Colts against the Lions for a TV special huddle with Plimpton the great quarterback sneak on his ABC special Friday night November 26 Georgi Boyle do it second down about a yard and a half to go purchase to the right the ball from the 34 yard line this was Maddy Hill Olson their keeper Maddy moving so about the 38 yard line I matched the end of the first quarter with this for the Rams three of the Colts nothing this is a recording session the studio the quiet interior of the 72 Ford LTD as any sound engineer can tell you the quieter the studio the better the reproduction and the 72 Ford is built quiet quiet enough to give you every beautiful note in tuning road vibrations out Ford builds quiet in 470 to take a quiet break in the Ford LTD but quiet Plus a luxury ride means a better car a better value for you test drive quiet Plus that your for dealers another better idea from Ford I'm Roman Gabriel of the Los Angeles Rams a quarterback needs a clear head to make quick decisions so don't mess around with drugs [Music] [Applause] [Music] I understand part of it what's the scrub job I don't understand why is the man but I was state-championship drugs I was a oh I'll put it back I was a member of the state's championship shrub judging team in the 4-h club in Texas for two years in a row it says Howard the man and the billing was right I guess you're like from the 37 the Baltimore Colts Morrow dropping straight back firing for his tight end Mitchell who just dead got turned around Danya laid it right in the line earlier when the Colts having established the effectiveness of their own running game with wanted by an interception you said morrel through Cooley now your characterization of that land throw was not nearly as bad a throw Mitchell should have looked earlier he really should have put coming on at any one of the things that a quarterback has a real problem with isn't a receiver knowing his route he has to know where to look back at the ball now he was running 20 yards down the field and did not look back that ball was almost intercepted now I don't know what the timing is that they try to perfect in their workouts but it is a coordination thing and I can't really say that was a bad throw he looked to me the Mitchell did not look back in time which makes it second and 10 for Baltimore from their own 38 horrifying footplate Oh Mitchell this time and Mitchell is hit hard by Kermit Alexander he looked on that one and that is a good pass Unitas is film at many many times there's her role there but it is a quick slant and by the tidy in or the X in its called many things about many people but Mitchell is big he's strong there's very few linebackers that really can keep him on the line of scrimmage effectively so he can't get off the line of scrimmage look inside if you catch the middle linebacker going the other direction there's a big hole in there to throw the ball to him that's what they did that time third down and four Willie Richardson Perkins come to the left both widely seen as a tight end Mitchell to the right the ball at the 44 yard line the Colts own 44 on the draw fight Manny Maddi flirting for hold close to the first down Marlon McKeever is there to make the top may have noticed on your screen that time that Deacon Jones number 75 appeared to jump offsides I read a couple of articles after their Miami game and Deacon was call for an offsides which was a very vital offside penalty which actually a lot of people think maybe he cost a touchdown but he has been suffering from a sore arch or an instep all year and Deacon says well you know I doing my best since I've relied on my speed so long to anticipate that count and still be as effective as I can with my speed so he anticipates the camel a bit he is gonna jump off side first down Tom Matty picks up the first down the post-war living from their own yard-line Perkin Perkins motion right without the bullish and he kept on the handle darn bullocks couldn't hold on to it Frank I'm not old Earl marl tonight and not trying to pick on me but one of the most difficult passes that looks to be one of the most simple is a quick flair but you know you're pretty close to that guy you're like five six maybe eight yards away and you really can't drill it you've got to kind of lay that ball out there and anticipate the direction which that back is running he's completed three of eight as you see on your screen am i painting the ball was a little bit low and it was too hard second down and 10 the ball at the 49 in the Rams that the Colts anticipating them going to his own defense one thing the coasts like to do is hit their setbacks and maddie is the second leading receiver Lisa at step-back position as Perkins goes to the right ball trying to get this one off to Perkins over throws back there defending nettles and moving over from free safety Elmendorf number 42 nettles 19 that'll bring up third down maddy and goulash all the way as setbacks for the copes their receivers as moral faces the passing situation the Titanic Mitchell number 84 perkins one wide receiver well they Richardson the other done koala mods been gaining on the ground why does Mauro suddenly switched to the past again I don't know how I'll have to say that I suppose he has a overall attitude toward the Rams but I'm not aware of its third and ten right now and I would expect him obviously to go to the past I think he should Jim her now [Applause] Oh Megan [Applause] look at that we come back after a commercial because I want to see where historian and NFL Monday Night Football the Los Angeles Rams versus the Baltimore Colts continues from Baltimore's Memorial Stadium with the score the Rams 3 the Colts nothing a man spends his wedding night thinking of only one thing his next shave what could cause such behavior

Mitchell 84 his intended receiver was going to the inside the ball was thrown to the outside Jim Pernell number 53 is the linebacker who was just dropping into his own and that was it on that play norm moulage was injured down feel we're not for sure we think it's his laugh angle the degree of injury the Rams with good field position they're on the post 43 yard line they lead in his football game three to nothing a little over 13 minutes remain to be played in the first half Smith bouncing off tacklers building back to the inside and moving to about the 37 yard line Jerry Logan makes the stop horrible ash injured his left foot last week because the Pittsburgh Steelers and have to leave the football game and we have just been warned a slight twist of his ankle so we will see norm balázs the Colts leading rusher pickup of seven it'll be second down and three the ball about the 36 yard line of the Baltimore Colts [Applause] threatening the Bliss they come with it Hendricks they're gonna call it when I believe well the flag went down as Gabriel tried to get rid of the football I believe Tommy Bell was certainly right Tom Mac was the only white jersey player that I saw in the area and he is not an eligible receiver number 65 he's the guard the cult says she pointed out Frank did blitz have no clue what he's doing oh I know he's going back it is a penalty from the original line of scrimmage sorry about that that's a rule change this year 15 yards from the line of scrimmage it tastes a little grounding the ball there's Johnny you John stole a bunch on my way that have not been called he's throwing a few way that have been so I'm sure he knows what's going on out there third down 18 yard stove for the Los Angeles fan there are now back in their own territory the ball just over the 49 yard line and you will see the Colts come on this one keep an eye on Billy Newsom and Buddle Smith you know Turner loose Gabriel going deep to snow [Applause] as it turned out he's not that bad the Colts are now the six yard line as effective as a punt that wasn't what he intended to do and Bob flying on the tackle and with time out the score is boss Angeles Rams

equipment from the model motoring division of Aurora we're for real is that the game yes it's called skittle tennis the object of the game is to wrap the ball around the stake seems fairly simple of

Elmendorf wiped out David Lee the Thunder he got him pretty good to us take another look at it here is Lee number 49 for the Colts the kickers in the very volatile position as you can imagine he's concentration is in the area of kicking that ball he's off the ground you'll see Elmendorf coming in catches that left leg of leaves and turns him to flip a lot of injuries were calls in that way what David Lee was complaining about was he was saying that he was rather not David Lee but Dave Elmendorf was saying he was blocked in to that which is true Frank that's you noticed that was only a five-yard penalty rather than roughing the finger the kicker in a five-yard penalty off that but it's a good lick too lately anyway it does set up first down for the Colts we'll take a look at it again you make your decision as whether it's locked into it or not watch number 34 thomna watsky I would say no I think I'd allow ski misty now from the 24 yard line Nottingham is n replacing goulash morale dropping deep look at the Richmond City house the rich would admit feel Willie Richardson he couldn't be more delighted that the Colts got him back Richardson is a wise receiver who's got a very very deceptive change of pace as he goes out for the football came back a week ago with heroic says the Colts peaked the Pittsburgh Steelers watch the play again you see Willie moving in quickly moving up field by three defensive men when Willie Richardson was traded first to Pittsburgh on to Miami given up as washed up by the Dolphins back with the Colts and starring first antenna calls moving foul from their own 49 listen Willa Richardson running towards you in motion for food I believe that will be incomplete the pass attempt to Tom Matty morrow getting a lot of pressure from Marlin McKeever coming in from his middle line backing position nonetheless the Colts had the opportunity to get out of trouble on the wings of Los Angeles's first mistake of the game that was the kicking penalty rushing the kicking penalty against Elmendorf two key turnover mistakes interceptions on morrow by the Rams and a blur Rams to get there early free to nothing late as always in football from mistakes in the long run when good teams are playing the team making the most mistakes figures to be true [Applause] second down and ten for Baltimore they're moving from their own 49% those motion right backed up at the line of scrimmage Nottingham Marla McKeever again on the play now Nottingham will come out of the game go Tasha back in third down about nine along nine the ball just short of midfield a couple flanker goes to the right back intended for Michelin in and out of the hands and over covering so now bolo mom must relinquish the football and you saw an interesting statistic a moment ago as we look at a disgruntled and perhaps a little bit disgusted Tom Mitchell come off the peel number 84 out of Bucknell in Lewisburg Pennsylvania Paul Imam must give up the football and we have a kind of repeat of the first half of two weeks ago when Baltimore made the key mistakes against Minnesota than might have been the ultimate custom that ballgame this is David Lee he'll be putting - Alvin Heyman and Kermit Alexander Heyman 23 Alexander 39 getting it off and a flag goes down again [Applause] another Baltimore first down and okay from Texas A&M as running into the kicker let's take a look at it again you'll see 42 opened door coming in he tried his best to wholly up he said don't fall down he falls down anyway that's a close call there you know you can run into the kicker providing you get a hand on the football but you must make sure you touch the football and Elmendorf now has given the Colts consecutive first downs two chances and Paula more moves at the very least closer and closer to field goal range it's not already women the ball just over the Rams 45 yard line Perkins motions right goulashes back in but this is Maddie pull us with the flying Rock swinging Tom Maddie Tom Matty over the 44 about the 38 boy bacon moving over to make the stop [Applause] darn bullish leading that play they define block that gave Maddie the opportunity to make the cutback pickup of seven I'm talking to some of the coal players about blue losses he won the nicest things about him he's a star and doesn't know it averaging just over under six yards per carry coming into tonight's ballgame Maddie not with the big average the way effective as a receiver it's second down and three the ball at the 35 yard line of the Rams [Applause] inside the 35 to the nor empanel makes back first down Baltimore watching Maddy on that play reminds me that this Saturday on ABC NCAA regional football in the east Cornell Dartmouth and an opportunity to see edge Marinero the great youngster set the career rushing record in college football not too long ago a possible winner of the Heisman Trophy 22:31 the Colts moving well going deep for Perkins nettles gets a hand on it good play by nettles who recovered very well to come back dip that ball away get medals not big five ten hundred seventy seven pounds he moves around in that Ram secondary a very important football game for both these ball clubs they both need a win to stay within a half game of their division leaders for the Rams the 49ers for the Baltimore Colts Miami Dolphins seeing nettles make that play out on the corner Frank Nettles came to LA from the Philadelphia Eagles he was actually one of the guys that the Cowboys tried to pick on at that time he was playing safety doing much better out on the corner on second and 10 from the 31 Morel back west hard bullet Richardson Dean Howard made the stop and Richardson will be very close to the first town again that was Elmendorf that was covering Richardson Earl did a great job there the head of blitz had some pressure you'll see Richardson here come out it was not Elmendorf I'm sorry it was Howard [Applause] Cornell goes out Gettys comes in on the short yardage it'll be third down less than one as you see Richardson will come out for the Baltimore Colts Mackey will come in for their short yardage offense Tommy frou-frou on the sidelines and more time than once I've seen Earl Morrall on this kind of a situation play fake and go with the past little over six minutes remain in the first half the lambs out in front 3 to nothing third in the foot Maddi motion left so does the colony breaks tackles down to the kid in private and undercutting [Music] tremendous explosion - just as he broke through the line at those knees up turning quick opener see it slow motion here blue lost 36 good blocking up front once bookkeeper 86 come over being taken down to play those knees up Elmendorf 42 comes up makes contact foolish barely slows down a squirming accent are coming over and howard 21 to stop him it'll be first and goal for the Baltimore Colts they're moving on the Rams 8 yard line up to the right goes Perkins will evict Eaton comes left historian below mattie again behind bullish a flag is down Harlan McKeever Ken Geddes brother Ken Geddes who is replaced Pannell at left linebacker for the Rams again we'll remind you a flag is down at the line of scrimmage Frank on West Baltimore in several key situations an offside penalty against the Rams but several key situations they have run directly at David Jones number 75 some people may wonder why David is an outstanding he visited but of the forefront lineman he is 15 pounds the lighter band he is weighing in at 250 and david has been known to play actually it must much less than that excellent in pursuit he has great speed and quickness he is not as big as the other guys and they don't be a strong again on first down the ball inside the five in the print shop he's behind Buster when wrestler with a great Manny goes in for the touchdown you'll see the fake that he made to the outside to pool are actually you'll see Earl here fake out to the outside that takes Joe's to the outside a quick trap coming on the inside number 62 playing wrestler was the guy that came over and trapped again let's take another look at it from the inside camera what's the fake here's wrestler blocking Oh Phil Olson great trap lock we say trap lock because if the guy can't see him coming is not straight oh that's a trap block wrestler came from the offside to block pillow still number 72 open that one up and what a fine block it was Jim O'Brien what's different NFL Monday Night Football the Los Angeles Rams versus the Baltimore Colts continues from Baltimore's Memorial Stadium with the score until seven the Rams 3 this is Ford's Pinto three-door run about different where it counts we finish Pinto with five coats of paint so it can fight off the salt air of Maine and we made Pitt Oh small enough for maneuvering through New York traffic we designed Pinto to start easily on December mornings in Minnesota we made Pinto roomy enough for tall Texas drivers we gave Pinto the strength to climb the Rockies Pinto was made to stop quickly in emergencies on Los Angeles freeways and for windy days on a Golden Gate Bridge we gave Pinto our wider track than the leading the important the Pinto three-door run about see it at your Ford dealers Pinto different where it counts another better idea from Ford Baltimore has moved 88 yards in nine plays but more important look what they've done in ball control too big penalties help them the rams use over five minutes to get on the scoreboard with the field goal Jim O'Brien will kick-off to Travis Williams and Alvin haman haman 23 Williams 25 hope seven the Rams three mutts the football this is Alvin Hammond they approach the problem we're about the 17 is Alvin Haman Rex Kern was their Tom Curtis Sam hammerlock they were all there Alvin Halen who several times in his career has led the league in punt returns Bram's first content they'll move from their own 17 yard line Allison Smith two setbacks mrs. Allison Mac out the front from a 65 with a good block living till about the 24-hour Rick both to make the soft Baltimore this far as 30 plays to LA's 15 plays [Applause] there he is Dave atone he's all trouble this year with an incident that Don mentioned earlier but according to David today he said I'm ready 100% he really is a good one to break the ball up at 23 the Rams own at 23 a second down five yards to go whistle widens up at the bottom of the screen snow is out to the left this was intended for flying not even folks as Bubba Smith puts the pressure on Bubba had a pretty well wrapped up back there big bear hug Chris well you saw before that play opened up his stance a little bit moved out about another three or four yards to enable the coverage of the secondary to spread out a little bit they were trying to get in between them linebacker where the defensive quarterback was I'll tell us interesting all those officials marked the ball and is now third and four it was second and five at an incompletion right now from the 24 no left whistle right whistle teach back in as Gabriel barks the automatic we came back into the pit job block and it stacked up Ted Hendricks what Hendrix backs it up a loss of three Ellison dropped behind the line of scrimmage [Applause] we have 343 left in the half and counting down and of course this ball game turned as Frank noted when Elmendorf twice consecutively gave Baltimore 2nd channels when they apparently the football now Baltimore gets another shot that stuff still to be the funny it's a highway [Applause] [Music] 42-yard

watching a hard-hitting football game and there were some wild ones yesterday we'll see the highlights of those games as selected by Howard and have selected by the producers of this show in their infinite knowledge ability second down and eight Baltimore moving the ball from their own 41 this is perfectly what I richest including in motion left [Applause] pass intended for Mitchell covered as he will be all night by number 39 Herman Alexander's well morrow having his problems tonight early certainly had some very good days he is the first one I'm sure to admit that a pass like that last one was not the way it should have been from was flown too hard again a little bit too low and looked like a little bit behind him statistics spoke for themselves has just flashed on the screen five out of 16 31 percent completion record for the night thus far [Music] 41 in the Baltimore Colts third down and eight [Applause] [Music] complain happy wide open is correct and he has good reason to be unhappy he is a veteran professional fourth down David Lee will come on to turn the football over to the Los Angeles Rams with two minutes and 33 seconds remaining in the half time let's check to see if Elmendorf is still on that punt return team I've been here delicate if he is they may tell him not to rush the kicker this time you know it's may Elmendorf is one of the rookies is Howard pointed out on the defensive squad for the Rams he is from Texas A&M and is I guess what you see a scholar he fished with a 3.8 average on a four point system that's not bad Alvin Haymond Halon moving back to the 40-yard line Dennis Nelson there to make the stop 34-yard but David Lee who came into the game averaging 42 yards hope I'm not there for 34 yards on that one reduces right there whoops getting close to that two-minute period we'll see what the Rams can do in the closing minutes of the first half Romina let's put in the air looks like they have their three timeouts remaining this for Gabriel sending back side of the back here sniff-sniff in the coal territory to the 43 that was smart Frankie had a pattern Carl to the wide side of the field actually expecting his own they were in his own

can result in smooth performance and good mileage it's a cold night in Baltimore temperature hovering at freezing Rams have the football with two minutes left in the half they have the football in the Baltimore Colts 43 yard line a heater on the sidelines news to warm the players hands not really a miserable night was various like Rams have brought on less Joseph so number 34 Gabriel again sending Josephson out looking deep for insult well covered by Charlie Stoops [Applause] don't forget folks this Saturday on ABC NCAA regional football Cornell Dartmouth we've told you about that least for our Easton viewers with Ed Marinero of Cornell Arkansas SMU Kansas Oklahoma Washington State Oregon State be sure to consult your local listings for the time of the game in your area this Saturday and then the game we've got to keep looking Nebraska Oklahoma Thanksgiving Day bus showdown and what a great football game that's going to be - and Gabriel it's on second and ten he's got three Colts May is there Curtis number 32 May 56 the frightening realization when you go back to throw in this period and you look down a field and all of your receivers are covered and that was the case that time he had three men down feel in the Colts second there did an excellent job and almost as men I got to do something with it saw better run and he picked up nine yards as the Rams use one of their timeouts they'll mantle have to with the clock showing 136 Gabriel moving over to visit with Tommy pro-pro I thought Gabe Frank showed all the speed of a youthful Meredith Lynn he was in the area you know wanted out on a night like this we've mentioned the weather that is cold quarterbacks function as a quarterback doesn't call on him to run that much now he gets hit we've showed several times when the quarterback does get hit from the blindside as he's tipping the pass but when you run you're just not used to running you don't go in from the training camp you don't get used to running you don't take the ball and run so a quarterbacks muscles are not really toned up for that take for example I try to play tennis this week for example and played in about a month and I was too sore after that you're using muscles that you don't use ordinarily so Roman gets paid to pass he's not getting paid to run when he does run is taking a risk oftentimes injuries come out of him how about that that covers the area that's it any area third down and one Roman Gabriel conferred on the sidelines with head coach Tommy frou-frou Logan the defensive captain for the Colts was over talking to his coaching staff and his boot prints sold off the game well before he came to the how to go see what happened third down and to the ball at the 35 yard line of the Baltimore Colts 136 in Maine in the first half both backs out those two initial splits is Aaron Rin so holds on super cats good throw Stokes head him well covered there's really nothing you can say about that except they said a beautiful beautifully executed play again you saw both backs coming out of the backfield and you can do that when the team is playing zone now they'll tighten up on this Stoops moving to the inside they caught him in a man for man that time Frank which is unusual but we have found out before against the zone when you get down into this area the 20 to the 30 yard line is very difficult because the zone is not nearly as effective you don't have as much field to work with or as many areas that you can allow the other team to have so they're more less forced to play a man for man coverage whistle ran a very basic pattern of down in the end or a post pattern as is called but the primary responsibility for Stokes is to pay I can't I didn't get deep and I don't want him to get to the outside I don't have any help out there on the inside he does have at least linebackers in the position to block the view from the quarterback to the receiver that's how much time he's got for the halftime there now now 17 18 yard line I do have him first down and he has one timeout to work with out to the left goes Jack snow wrestled to the right the tight end Bob blind opens up on the right side [Music] [Applause] making the Blitz Hendricks is in the middle as you see Freddie Miller couldn't hold it any longer he's going to accuse the lands of drawing him off sighs Lee vest Bubba talking to him too Bubba was lying up over the center that time Bubba comes in from his defensive in position to line up right over the center now we can't see what anybody is going off or not but yeah that's Bubba Smith coming through and he's that he's given kid humming a pretty good forearm they did call that bubble was offside he didn't like it he said wait a minute man moved the center actually can't even move his arms in a situation like that because after he does take the position over the ball he has to remain there from the snap him [Music] first and five the ball of the 12 [Music] Gabriel firing four whistle and he is covered well there by Jim Duncan [Applause] that'll be second down at five o'clock of course stop with the incompletion crank that ducky did a fine shot they get to be pointed out but Mike Curtis did a good job from his middle linebacker he had dropped deep enough to force Roman to throw that ball little high the ball I think could have been completed to the inside because Duncan again was protecting that outside the ball was high it looked to me when here he had to throw it over Curtis his head to get it there Princeton goes right he'll be coming by scoops on the left side Duncan will cover backs no second down and five the ball is up to 12 [Applause] Joseph son yes Josephson touchdown round on the utilization of everybody on the field he had Joseph coming out from the backfield he'd been working those outside receivers whistle he had snow set to the left as you said Johson came out when a flare pattern and was not covered someone missed an assignment over there though the Rams using their time well there's still a minute 15 remaining in the first half cause David Ray comes on to the conversion [Applause] [Music] [Applause] David Ray takes to Los Angeles ten Baltimore 7 and it did not take OMA Gabriel very long tomorrow hey folks take over position they'll have three timeouts remaining I have been at 15 to work with that was a pretty series will see the touchdown again you'll see Roman coming back he's got everybody out didn't hold anybody back in to block that caused the responsibility for all the linebackers and the secondary men well I went to say it but I didn't want to sense I saw it again that man had to be covered by Ray May that's right 456 and he just was not there my backers responsibility frankerz sure a lot of people know as it is to cover the man coming out of the backfield now Joseph didn't hold up a little bit too was gonna flock but he didn't he released it went out of the plan nobody else to cover in the secondary man the cornerbacks to the safeties half wide receivers to contend with and that's how long that drive took Roman Gabriel using two timeouts and the incompletions to kill the clock and it constantly amazes me that these veteran quarterbacks can do as David Ray puts the foot to it [Applause] now Cully and nepali stacked up at about the 19 yard line Travis Williams down under that kick off the Colts have called their first offensive play on the bench and now as soon as the referees he's both offensive and defensive unit said his doctor pot this movie now with 107 but the Colts had called that play on the bench point makin burrow morrow all the way back to the 8 yard line koi bacon getting away from the blocked up Bob Bogle girl said all of his backs out of the backfield that time to Frank he had three receivers and two offensive acts in the past pattern didn't have any extra extra protection of the backfield as that we have a minute left to play in the first half that again you can do sending backs out against to prevent the time to count against the zone second down now and 20 ball goes with the block play this is going on balázs into Marlon McKeever over the 15 or just at the 15 is normal OSH brought down moving with 40 seconds remaining in the first half it'll be third down at 14 and I would honestly they Don that now Earl will be very careful from this point I'm sure he will have the ramps is delighted to give them the yards of the got on that last draw play because as you saw the previous play he lost about 10 yards and 12 [Applause] from the 15 on third and 14 the clock moving with 10 seconds the running play was the folks trying to run the clock out and the Rams very wisely called timeout going goulash burned down and the Rams want to try and run the punt back they use their last remaining timeout getting on to punt will be David Lee dropping deep Herman Alexander Alban Haman's up very heads-up play on the part of that defensive unit [Applause] they wanted to make sure victim on this block out David Lee back here played about practicing his fall he's gotta get this ball out of there they are backed up he's kicking out of the end zone seven seconds to go [Applause] officials are talking to both album Haman and David leave the putter and now we're set to go know something with it know [Applause] I kick Bearcats follow for at the 45 yard line 33 yard punt the park shows no time [Applause] after after a freak fair catch that was called the clock cannot run out they do have the opportunity to make a free-kick here now the clock runs out it doesn't make any difference they still can have one play left because Haman did call a fair catch they can either try a free kick and actually they can't rush you'll see them lining up in a like a regular kickoff position so the Colts cannot rush this kick a free kick is from no objections or no asking Frank to explain this break with jigs I was WOW listen to you he wraps up in I thought I was pretty good to pick it's not a free kick stuff following a fair catch you can free kick the football you cannot put it on a tee you see it very seldom but this time at the ball at the 42 yard line David Ray will try the free kick John said there will be no pressure [Applause] [Music] and it's off to the left no good maybe he needs the pressure he has made one for 47 yards this year he's not upset and he's unhappy we've got some great highlight action coming up at halftime as we watch David Lee and he is really upset you see our story but you did expect to feel go kick her to kick it from the 45 or 50 yard line break but at the end of the first half here at Baltimore Memorial Stadium with the score the Los Angeles Rams 10 the Baltimore Colts 7 America Merrill Lynch is bullish on America in the years ahead we see America drawing in many different ways and we want you to share in America's growth that's why we've moved into different kinds of investments not just stocks or bonds mutual funds real estate and more Merrill Lynch has a lot of different ways to put your money to work [Music] America Merrill Lynch is bullish on America the Mod Squad moves in on a smuggling ring tomorrow night on ABC we're about ready to get underway again we'll remind you a vitally important game for both these ball clubs if they want to stay close to their division leaders the Rams

Gabriel touchdown pass to less Josephson raime number 56 was popped inside on this he should have been the man out there to stop Tilson he was late getting there and the Rams went into halftime with the 10-7 lead Rams got on the scoreboard early with a 20-yard field goal David Ray hitting from 20 yards out in Baltimore scored with Tom Madi from four yards out and then the touchdown he just saw

defensive comparison we told you at the top of the show Baltimore came in having only given up 55 points remarkably they have held seven opponents to only one touchdown through the air now it is - as a result of a Gabriel to Josephson pass where in the third quarter the Lambs alpha 10 to 7 the folks with a second are moving from their own 49 again a temperature almost picked off by Elmendorf

whistle Ellison having a bit gear as done noted in the first half Willie says it's because his new coach is giving him a chance to play the way his former coach George Allen did not that stuff so well below his 42 yard average coming into tonight's game he'll be kicked into rich-boy again off the side of the foot but both will try and will get wiped out wipes out of the 18 is rich folk back to the

the gas for people like Oh Jay Simpson who can't stop drinking Cola in Baltimore Maryland they must win to stay within a half a game of Miami in their division the Rams must win to stay within a half a game of the 49ers Baltimore Colts football bursting 10 or amoral firing for Perkins Vettel's is there when McKeever comes over I'm at Alexander [Applause] this has been a tough game so far for omar el as you've heard Don say on a couple of occasions and yet it comes after a game when Earl seemed to have put the Colts passing the game together for the first time really this year the big victory over Pittsburgh a week ago you can ascribe some of the differential in the performance from week to week as we watched for the first down measurement and the fact that he was going against Pittsburgh's young secondaries a week ago but still earl has been around as noted a very long time and with great efficiency against the very best teams by that much they missed the first down and one can expect that during the remainder of this Gary pearl will begin to pick up in his pitching efficiency in the meantime Baltimore retains the capacity to move the ball on the ground with big boot and on second down and short yardage Willie Richardson Perkins both wide receivers on the left side well going to throw looking for Perkins and Perkins gets his lumps right in front of the Baltimore Colt bench Hermann Alexander over there defending along with Howard as Morrow continues to have problems seven of 24 two interceptions his bob cut trailing the Rams here in the third quarter folks have had a remarkable year they did lose to Cleveland 14 to 13 they lost to Minnesota 10 to 3 Rams they've dropped a pair they lost to the Saints they lost to Miami they tied at ladder the Rams really have a tough schedule in front of them to Frank they are staying on the East Coast actually going to Philadelphia next week work out go to trot play Sunday go back home play the 49ers and then on the next Thursday Thanksgiving play Dallas in Dallas [Applause] his madi madi very close to the first down and he picks it up Dave Jones was there to make the stop for the round first down Baltimore lot moving a little over eight minutes remaining here in the third quarter [Applause] out to the left combos wide receivers the ball at the 30-yard line of the Baltimore Colts Perkins in Richardson both split to the left Mitchell the tight end on the right side mattie again and Phil Olson there to make the stop I think having some words with somebody down there Frank looks like Sullivan and Deacon didn't agree on the actions of that last way Sullivan has not been a man charged with easy assignments two weeks ago gentlemen it was Carl eller this week Deacon limping out is Tom Mitchell the tight end for the Colts coming in John Mackey Mitchell had been the Colts leading receiver coming into tonight's game as you say second down and eight yard to pick up to by Madden the ball on the 31 yard line of the Baltimore Colts we're in the third quarter motion is Willie Richardson 87 picked up by number 21 our garage / moving very close to another first down tackle there by his Isaiah Robertson first down Baltimore more and more you see the set backs against the wide use of the zone as the top receivers on ball clubs goulash came into this game with ten receptions you can do that because when a team plays a zone defense they do not shoot their linebackers linebackers do not blitz they drop back into the zone first down the folks moving from their 41 Richardson again motions left picked up again by Howard the draw play Maddy Betty upset there by Elmendorf moving over the 45 to the 48 solo technique by Maddie there which only experienced ball players can do very well here's McKeever number 86 the middle linebacker wrestlers in their own him you'll see Maddie with a bow his right hand as he makes his move he shifts the ball to his left hand Moseley to protect against bubbles because he's going to get hit more than likely from that right side a lot of fumbles however occur when they're trying to switch it with one hand another Maddie switched it without ever breaking stride there's the coach McCafferty Baltimore Colts I'm sure was pleated that last play second and two for the Colts they're moving from their own 49-yard line perkins right Willie Richardson left Mady again very close to the first down Madi moving into Ram territory Marla McKeever at the bottom of that file the wave they're using Madi now Don don't you expect them almost any time to start switching tabouleh well in fact I see Maddie coming out right now and he is being replaced I don't know whether he's aged or not he's coming out a little yeah blue lush of course has been their big gun all year as Frank pointed out when he averaged practically 6 times every time you carry the bulb the obvious thing is to get the ball to boo Lodge Don McCauley number 23 is replaced Matty the ball on the 48 yard line of the Rams McAuley getting the call on his first play Jim Pernell that was any indication of how they're going to miss Mattie then the Colts are definitely gonna have to give that ball the Blue Lodge I'll tell you this rookie from North Carolina number one draft pick of the Baltimore Colts is some kind of football player he's 6 1 207 pounds and he not only could run but he can play the halfback spot for Baltimore when I say that I mean that Baltimore Colts like to throw to their halfback Tom Maddie you're in and year out is among the top ten receivers this is Isaiah Robertson records good evening five individual tackles complete assists second down and nine McCauley again parlez upended I was Robertson again - let's give him six tackles and three assists for tonight he's having that rookie here's the official or unofficial scouting report on him as he got out of college and was viewed by the pro scouts great size and athletic ability tough and strong tremendous potential great agility and speed excellent lateral movement makes many solo tackles and now watch it number 58 set at the top of the evening keep a close eye on that rookie tonight out of seven you laid off Mackey who is an excellent blocker to third down and six maddie back into the game [Applause] going out to what I represent overthrown Herman Alexander was there tomorrow really having his problems that will be fourth down and out will come Jim O'Brien what appears to be a Baltimore Colt field goal attempt and again we have a situation rather similar to that which existed to Monday nights ago you wonder about Johnny Unitas sitting there and if he's going to be called upon again the way he was against Minnesota from the well the 49 yard line of the Baltimore Colts O'Brien who has already kicked 150 this year he can hit from here deep is Alvin Heyman [Applause] it's long enough off to the right no good at NFL Monday Night Football the Los Angeles Rams versus the Baltimore Colts continues from Baltimore's Memorial Stadium with the score the Rams 10 the Colts 7 right now 72 midsize cars have frozen 71 prices but of all leading midsize cars one has unfrozen styling unfrozen design unfrozen engineering Ford's Torino this is Gran Torino one of nine new models Torinos prices frozen but it's been restyled redesigned re-engineered 472 we wanted to give you a quieter smoother ride so we built a new more rugged frame and body we wanted to give you more precise handling so we designed a new suspension system we've added new front disc brakes standard we've designed new interiors to give you more room and comfort Torino has moved ahead 472 with all new styling and major engineering changes everybody can offer you frozen 71 prices but everybody can't offer you a completely new car which sort of sets us apart you're for dealers 72 Torinos only the price is frozen that's the half moon over a cold Baltimore Memorial Stadium less then two three minutes remain to be played in the third quarter the Rams holding on to their lead against Baltimore 10 to 7 Bryan missed on a 51 yard Baltimore Rams take over on their own 20-yard line Roman Gabriel all the way at quarterback the play fake to Larry Smith going deep for Klein and he can't hold on to it back with a Jim Duncan number 35 and Rick vote 21 Romo had very little time to find a receiver that time yet Fred Miller number 76 was coming in and he just got it off and by under that one under that one right there is none under then number 19 in your program and number one in these cult fans hearts Johnny Unitas I'll tell you that last Baltimore drived where O'Brien failed on the long field goal must have been frustrating because the Colts used up six minutes seven seconds yet failed to get anything on the board the Rams now moving from their 20-yard line second and 10 line wide to the left rensil is in the slot snow 84 at the bottom of your screen here comes May on the Blitz incomplete the attempt again to client [Applause] and Gabriel now having his problems he's only 6 to 15 for 80 yards here's Jack snow number 84 we'll watch him get hit by Jerry Logan as he comes in wham-o don't think you can do that I don't believe that fight bump and run that's the bump but nobody's running alright on third and 10 now from the 20 again flying goes far to the left to be covered by Duncan rinse the was in the trot covered by Rick boat out to the right Jack's no he's covered by Charlie Supes now the Colts roll into his own you can see at the top of your screen Gabriel is wiped out by Freddy Miller back to the 11 yard line goes Roman Gabriel big Freddie Miller beating the block of Tom Mac areas a nine year veteran out of LSU he's sort of a Gary Larson of the Baltimore Colts they call him the cop he hangs along that line of scrimmage and every now and then he turns a loose step still comes on to punt for the Rams Rick Polk is deep riding no missplay good field position again for the Baltimore Colts fine kick by Scottsdale the fair catch call or by Rick poem so the coast will take over bursting 10 in RAM territory at the 47th well running backs dambulla shove the Coulson Willie Ellison of the Rams have two examples of athletes who were stamped forced on him even while playing in high school big boo a challenger for the AFC rushing title even though he's missed 11 quarters of action this season was Allstate twice at high school in Texas before going on to Texas Christian Lily also has a Texas background the star in Texas Linda Texas Southern and one to the Rams first and ten Baltimore blue light you say a new number in that defensive lineup for the Rams last number 85 Jack Youngblood as Isaiah Robertson made another tackle Jack Youngblood another fine rookie defensive man from Florida yes indeed rated by many the best player on the college all-star team this year when they were about to go against the coast the point I was making as I talked about big boo and Willie Ellison next time you get a chance go out to see a high school game like Frank Gifford who every Saturday watched his son dial for Scarsdale I saw two or three of those myself you'd believe they lost the Porchester second eight Morrow little Tamaki and Mackey's upended by Amador excellent play by Elmendorf he was keying they had a zone no one came into his area he was king tom Matty coming out of the backfield at the time Matty got that ball Elmendorf was right there oniy loss on the play of five yards it'll be third down and 12 the Rams shuffle in there prevent defense Gettys comes in Alvin Heyman comes in get a little more mobility to the Umbrella type through their defense is almond or rookie from Texas a ham get in on a lot of action you know not all of it did but at least a bit aggressive from the 49 of the Rams the Baltimore Colts have a third and 12 Perkins Perkins catches the football and Gettys really pops him short of the first down [Applause] since bet screen again comes back Birgit actually got off a little slow start they're not I mean it wasn't until he was letting planes clear level if it's common to late patter to come in like McKeever coming across his little linebacker to make a heck of a stop Nettles number nineteen was following in there so trail route and that's the end of the third quarter with the score the Los Angeles Rams ten the Baltimore Colts seven will return after this word from our local stations Dorothy Lamour guest stars and Marcus Welby MD tomorrow night on ABC and Willie Brown of the Oakland Raiders when it's time to turn on I do it my own weight can you turn on without drugs [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Jim O'Brien looking over a 47-yard field goal attempt Muro Muro will do the holding we're just beginning the fourth quarter from Baltimore Memorial Stadium Rams out in front of the Colts 10 to 7 Alvin Heyman was deep in the end zone for the Rams [Applause] a man will quiet now egos at the 7-yard line get on off and say Jim O'Brien do that on a field goal attempt as all the fans know he's been remarkably consistent on you long but it happens so the Super Bowl hero goes off chagrin and the LA Rams will take over they'll be moving from their own eight yard line they opened the scoring in this game in the first quarter as we looked at O'Brien morale gets the ball down it looks like it was placed well hey this mr. 28 yard line the Los Angeles Rams Roman Gabriel going all the way at quarterback Smith drives the middle up over the 10 to about the Levin as I mentioned the Rams open the scoring here at Baltimore the 20 yard field goal David Ray Vaughn Mattie came back to make it 7 3 Baltimore scoring from four yards out and you look at the statistics then Gabriel hit less Josephson just before the half to make it 10-7 LA and that's how it's been throughout the third quarter no story lion and whistle come to the left or insulin Aswath the top of your screen is back snow snow cover thereby Stoops far off to the left fine covered by Duncan on second and seven Alison Alison - about the 14 yard line Mike Curtis there to make the stop on the statistics Frank that we just showed the viewers noticed that Baltimore's had the ball almost eight minutes more than Los Angeles so the kindest thing you can say about ball mo is fed in to be leading at this moment is that there has been an absence of all platoon ISM on their part Jim Bailey has come into the defensive lineup for the Baltimore Colts he wears 79 as Roman Gabriel is face to the 3rd and for the ball up to 14 again both wide receivers see wrestle number 13 popular screen Doc's know by Gabriel with the football but he'll be short of the first down Gabriel trying to dry all the clothes off with the long count ready Miller on the stop number 76 so again Baltimore apparently will have good field position keep an eye on Rick hope this time was drop deep he was unhappy the last time he fielded a pat stub still punt he had plenty of room to catch it he calls for the fair kept it already stopped his feet now if he has any chance at all he's going to try and run this football it's his touchstone Hennis calls for the fair catch at the 43 a short kick by step still 26 yard punch and with time out the score Los Angeles 10 the Baltimore Colts 7 a lot of people think guys my age just reject everything not true sure we question a lot but we'll accept things you give us some reasons take me I'm a real car nut so naturally enough I wanted to find out all the facts about gasoline - I mean really find out not take somebody's word for it and I'll tell you when I got the facts I started using Sunoco there - 60 is the highest octane at any station the highest and they have the custom blending pump - it really does something put some 260 into all their blends premium these middle premiums even their regular you get what they call 260 action all the octane your car can use so can really put out like I say guys my age will accept things if you give us some reasons and Sunoco they've got some real reason get some oco-2 60 action action to be used not abused the Baltimore Colts again with buying field position bet has been that way mostly evenings now they'll move the ball from the Rams 43 yard line a little over 12 minutes remain to be played in the football game of idol game for both of these teams we stay close to their division leaders thorough morale going all the way some little riches him to the left cover there by Howard up to the right is Perkins looking Perkins in the eyes nettles here comes the reverse to Perkins Perkins cuts back behind the block of curry Isiah Robertson again on the stop and a truly great play because Perkins had a lot of open space ahead of him if he had gotten past the rookie linebacker what a performance Tandy one of the best I've seen all year bond outside linebacker because he certainly has played his position well and in certain situations helped other folks play theirs too I think a reminder of another rookie villapiano's and we had Oakland against Cleveland eight tackles unassisted for Robertson so far tonight second down and eight off to the left Richardson Perkins to the right the draw play to bhulok Isaiah Robertson again Nottingham that is dawn Nottingham carrying the football Don Nottingham the fireplug from Kent State 510 215 pounds but Charlie Tola of the seven before the reason for all plays like this go well you saw trap lock this time on Merlin Olsen number 74 this village brother big hole up the middle Merlin Olsen is given a little bit of Berlin McKee Berks he's been given some ground and Robertson did come in from his outside linebacker and finally close it up after about a nine yard game on third and one the setbacks now are Matty and not again this is Maddie getting the call he has the yardage but a flag is down at the line of scrimmage [Applause] and it looks like a five yarder against the Los Angeles Rams offsides Nottingham who had carried the ball a while ago made a key block at the line of scrimmage that time to open up a hole for Maddy to run through first and ten for the Baltimore Colts the ball resting on the Los Angeles Rams 29 yard line the Colts trail 10 to 7 10 minutes 45 seconds remain to be played in the football game nottingham number 48 maddie number 41 will set backs perkins goes right he faces nettles off to the left Richardson he's against Howard the play fake the screen pass the richest son he drops the football and he would have gone a long way looked that way but he took his eye off the football as even professionals can do and started a look at the downfield second down Baltimore a frustrating night for the Baltimore Colts particularly our Omar oh he's 10 for 29 that should have been caught we can see he has not had the best of evenings second and 10 the ball resting on the 29 yard line of the Los Angeles Rams Tommy Pro froze 16 years as a head coach in the college ranks Wow this away from young blood becomes koi bacon how about tomorrow [Music] Herman Alexander voicing girl morale out of bounds at about the 25 yard line of the rounds Jack Youngblood forced out of the pocket for bacon trying to run him down amazing our eighth Monday night game so far gentlemen next week st. Louis San Diego after that Green Bay in Atlanta then the Miami Dolphins against the Bears then the Chiefs at San Francisco and then George Allen goes back to Los Angeles against these Rams with his Redskins and 10 minutes and 32 seconds remain to be played in the game it's third down and six as morale drops intended for Mackey throw it in the ground incomplete nice pickup 10 for 30 now for a laurel as Jim O'Brien comes on to try and tie this game up [Applause] they'd not pick up in just about the area where Boog Powell usually makes his one boob catches them lift a second photo first we get to O'Brien trying for three Earl mall holding kick coming from about the 32 yard line what's inside the 32 [Applause] oh he kept that head down that time [Applause] [Music] that ties it up [Music] take a look at that again and oblige possibly raised up a while ago for 47 yards out now watch him keep that head locked into position [Applause] and with time out thus far Los Angeles Rams 10 - Baltimore Colts down what kind of tires can drive down a snow-covered mountain dig in and stop fast on hard packed snow or with studs even stop on glare ice the answer Sears Dinah glass ice and snow

all year long a year ago somehow seizing out the victory time now becoming a factor but still plenty of time left Los Angeles very much in the ballgame but Baltimore a team would so often frustrates itself and its fans somehow making the key games winning the key games Johnny Unitas on the sidelines Frank first and 10 ram fallen on 25-yard line Ellison Smith the setbacks both backs out of the back to a fire to Smith up to the 30-yard line and he's knocked to the ground by may and this rain a some football player and a pretty classy person he's devoted almost all of his income to taken care of underprivileged kids was a wrench out west they says these children and Smith is being helped with the sidelines it's so right about raime he's got an understanding of what life is all about and where the real he has every fit the great play you suggested let's second down now five yards to go the ball at the 30 at one yard line of the Rams Josephson kimantha Smith whistle rights no left

and he got up he actually started off on the other side here's a good rush by Bubba Smith he's hit a screen past this is a tough thing he's thought it up over but knowing of the height the ball was a little bit of hi Joseph possibly could have held on to it and the screen was set up very well to the left it's third down and five the Rams moving from their own 30 a partisan crowd calling defense

extenders the guy comes up from the secondary you'll see Nottingham come to his outside play his trunk out very well for now 39 is that exciting stop a gifted veteran you mentioned early in the game that Neville's moved from safety to corner and was better at the corner one of the things Pro throwed did this year was to take the veteran alexander away from the corner and move them in as tight safety and permits done senja tapia strain Perkins in the slot recovered by Thurman Alexander in Richardson wide to the left covered there by Howard third down and five balls going to run the football it goes again to Nottingham excuse me I'll cook myself that was Tom Madi playing cautious football Frank hoping to use the clock against Los Angeles pressurize them maybe Hinrichs will pick up another fumble and score sar bullish she was shaken up early in the game has not been playing here in the fourth period they have not been informed of any injury he did come back after being shaken up with with David Lee he's having a bad night as his pop stuff still around deep is Alvin Heyman this is this what you want though beautiful play by David Lee Allen Heyman forcing her being forced into her kitchen that bought the six ball with a backspin on it probably as determined by Alvin Heyman would not have passed on the end zone Frank you mentioned big boos absence this half the latest report on him the ankle down earlier going continues to bother them and very likely we've done that we have seen the last of big boo for the head now from the 12 yard line the rounds with 4 minutes 39 seconds the clock moving will begin their Drive they trail by 7 Gabriel out to Ellison Ellison with nowhere to go Duncan's 35 [Applause] pick up about 11 first contender for the Los Angeles Browns now the

in a setback for the Rams he gets the call chabela with a five block [Applause] or to the first down Jerry Logan driving Travis Williams out of bounds at the 33 yard line Travis Williams once characterized by Vince Lombardi as a great one the roadrunner they call him and Frank you mentioned earlier in the show how many times he's broken one who's in the ball game now at a very critical time for the Rams they now have a third and one the ball at the 32 yard line Josephson back in the game now one setback for the Alessandro Safina setbacks Delsin following the blocks of mac up over the 42 the 43 is less Josephson first down Rams they had to have it [Applause] Sifu ground level again the culture in a short yardage defense Joseph's coming wide following town Mac number 65 I'll bet she'd live for the ramp they the ball first intent for the Rams in the 43 yard line Travis Williams back into the game rental right coverage closely there by Stoops up to the left and snow covered there by Duncan Gabriel blowing deep for insult and Gabriel through it well behind rensil was being birddog by Charlie Stokes these Monday night games can get exciting in the late going witness last week witness two weeks ago the clock always the big factor Los Angeles struggling desperately now and I remember a year ago and they were talking about the Monday night hex and how the teams would lose on the following Sunday this year after Monday night games teams playing on the following Sunday have won ten and lost for whatever became of the hexed Andy died last year all right second to ten the Rams moving from their own 43 wrench silligan goes right again he'll be covered by Stoops in the 47 snow is left replaces Duncan mr. Williams and he can't hold on to the football at the 50-yard line Mike Curtis defending Gabriel now 9 of 22 for 99 yards [Applause] that will bring up third intent have those Travis Williams incomes less Josefa and I don't know but I have a feeling that somebody's calling the plays on the sidelines as the Rams are shuffling their backs there's Williams 25 that's Tommy pro-pro head coach of the Rams 2 minutes 14 seconds remain to be [Applause] great intended either for Klein or Ellison they were both in the area incomplete the coach says it's time to go for it [Applause] well no choice two minutes and 10 seconds remain and on fourth down Tommy Protheroe says go for it I don't know about that decision we have not seen quarterbacks at their very best tonight done make a defense has a lot to do with that we think you pointed out earlier teams that are playing do have a lot to do with they've not thrown well Earl is not thrown well Roman is serving that role on fourth and ten arounds from their own 43 rinse with his right covered by Stoops Noah's left she's covered by Duncan flying covered by Logan Gabriel will go down Bank number 76 Freddy Miller has made his second big key play of the night the fourth down attempt has backfired for the Rams as the Baltimore Colts are moving now within field goal range [Applause] that's the two-minute warning an NFL Monday Night Football the Los Angeles Rams versus the Baltimore Colts continues from Baltimore's Memorial Stadium with the score Baltimore 17 the Rams 10 and straight a point see if you can answer this quiz about cars true or false disk brakes where twice as long as drum brakes a stabilizer bar gives better radio reception an axle ratio of three to one gives better gas mileage than a ratio of two to one the answer to all three is false the point is to be a smart car buyer you have to know a lot more than you used to so Ford Motor Company has written a two-part book it's called car buying made easier not easy easier part one is all about cars in general part two is biased because it's about Ford Lincoln and Mercury cars facts figures and specifications look Ford Motor Company wants your business they're convinced that have you become a smarter car buyer they'll get their share to get you a free copy of the book car buying made easier right Ford Motor Company listens the American Road Dearborn Michigan they listened better and I'd like to hear from you well I mentioned a moment ago that I question the call of Tommy pro-pro with two minutes and 10 seconds remaining to go for a fourth and 10 I like to play the game that way myself that he would have been able to stop the clock with the two-minute warning he had three timeouts remaining but I like the man he wants to win it and what can you say he's a master rich Flair great chess player I'm just sitting up here talking first town the Baltimore Colts Maddie again breaking loose Maddie inside the 25 to the 22 why he picked some threads done he is a smart runner he years ago and I factored Frank's comment about the call I think you saw his call to go for it on fourth down affect the defensive play it seemed that on that first play from scrimmage not that Maddie is not a good runner or not that he didn't have good blocking but the RAM defense didn't close in there real well he made 15 yards on what possibly should have been about a 7 yard gain it is a tough thing to say there what Frank was talking about if you've got time you're going to kick it down there rely on your defense the rams do have a good defense we're allowing them to get that ball back for you a little bit better field goal position there's the man who made the decision is pretty quadratics none of our business say a little something about him - what a great record he has as a collegiate coach 10 years with Oregon State six years with UCLA 3 Rose Bowl teams in the top 10 the last four of the six years with UCLA as we said he won't even have it at what he thought was it before I talk about in the better call I think there was a bright cavity on first and 10 from the 22 Maddy again Marlin McKeever made the stop I think we just saw a trick me from what the referees go out to he was trying to run in there and well then heard about me now that you fellas have had your chance at logical summation I think it was a good call the guy lost a week ago to Miami he's desperate to win this game he's got the very tough schedule coming up the two fellas early had talked about he had to go for it hit him down doesn't surprise me at all that Howard waits till we get out of the limb this starts chopping it off Howard you're a beautiful man loveable our just tell it like it is done are like you think it is neither ways blows earl morrow with a little help from his friends on the defensive unit as the Baltimore Colts out in front of the Los Angeles Rams 17 to 10 they have noticed that we've been talking about his very poor passing for Cindy's net there and hit by seven points so it just goes to show that good defensive play has a way of take it away from that 33 percent completion tonight final defensive play makes great quarterbacks Ted Hendricks was the man who the icing on the cake for the coke the defensive linebacker for the Baltimore Colts rumbling 31 yards the Larry Smith fumble make up 17 to 10 a minute and 44 seconds remain to be played [Applause] Nottingham raids away from that aha [Applause] with a quick wrap up the middle rap well the olsen boys you'll see from ground level marl heading straight pointed out a good block by nottingham here comes Maddie that's a big hole in there 72 is Bill Olsen he missed him right at the line of scrimmage broke into secondary and all alone again it burns up what you said about the ramp deeper so play spectacularly throughout the game O'Brien Rosa for the Baltimore Colts extend their lead over the Los Angeles Rams the Pope will be the ones to stay within a half the game the Miami Dolphins and their division you see it happen many times but a coach's decision can affect the entire team I actually think that's the way it should be the coaches responsibility is to lead from the top his inspiration is got as his knowledge of the game is what the players intend to carry out but it is a tough call when you decide I want you to go for it we don't know what is the governor of famine it turned out to be a bad call for him because it didn't work if it worked it been a good call but his decision does affect the rest of the team and I think we can't see the Rams not playing as well as they played earlier in the game dojin Tim O'Brien gets the signal and he'll pick a Lowen [Music] at turn with the football so Brian taking no chances for a possible long run back Rex Kern made the tackle for the Baltimore Colts so the Rams have the football a minute 30 to remain to be played they'll be moving from their 35 yard line just over the 35 yard line Gabriel will now start attracting a crowd of Baltimore Colts let's find a rest a little left Gump Nilson gets it off to Klein fine breaking tackles to the 47 [Applause] you'll notice that Bubba Smith's not in there now he played and deserves great credit for it much of the game with a bad groin injury now with the victory assured love is out only newsome's in there along with Jim Valley George ride is also in that line the Rams put one timeout remaining Gabriel dumps it to Travis Williams on the screen Williams inside the 40-yard line of the Baltimore Colts Mike Curtis made the tackle Rams trying to get back to the line of scrimmage they do not want to use the one remaining timeout clock movie this will be a pass attempt into the ground incomplete pass intended their format Loski plenty of leaving for San Diego done hold up for a while it's gonna be a good ballgame Chargers little John Havel he's throw a lot of touchdowns this year Cardinals came pretty close to the Cowboys yesterday I'll be up there by Monday Howard what are you coming in I'll be out there when you get there everybody comes close to the Cowboys these days you say that Howard she say that Tommy frou-frou looking on his Rams trailing the Baltimore Colts 24 to 10 lifts on second and 10 Gabriel going deep for Mazeroski touchdown touchdown Matt Matt Loski and Duncan is complaining it was out of bounds Duncan is out of bounds in complaining because he wasn't covering let's see it again I don't know how he got that open because the Colts were back there you'll see Duncan slide to the inside Matt Besler ski coming out on the outside number 48 he's a sprinter from San Diego is Howard pointed out and let's watch it here and these down huh his left foot will miss very close to being in the white maybe we back that up is a boss to see that again that was really close that was close maybe take a look out after this kick David Ray for the conversion 14 seconds remain as is good I don't think there's any doubt as to whether or not we'll see an onside kick or not with the Rams they're huddled open the far side already discussing it let's see the touchdown would well here we go it was pretty close folks real is he has to come down with both feet inbounds unless contact has been made by the defender or tackler I thought it was clearly visible what did what visibility did you see Howard you hit over no time I'll read about it from some sports writer with the precious wisdom of 2029 so before you do call it right now what do you see look good let's look no pardon me I think he was out I'll take a stand I think he was out I believe he was out what do you say Howard gentlemen you're too and nothing at the moment but we are in the early innings now he's he looked to be out big play now coming up for the Rams I say that because they have 14 seconds remaining they have one timeout if they can recover this they should be able to get that one playoff and we just saw how easy it is to get a touchdown we're gonna wear this thing out but he is getting pretty close poetry and look at there and the onside kick fails for the round Tom Curtis makes the recovery for the Baltimore Colts 13 seconds show on the scoreboard clock Rams offsides decline by the Baltimore Colts a tough defeat for the rim so we'll be at 4 3 & 1 as against San Francisco at 6 & 2 so they fall behind game and a half and that's not going to be easy in the face of that schedule Easyrider Metcalf Donna McCafferty the coach of the Baltimore Colts doesn't make a lot of noise would have faced all kinds of second-guesses tonight if the Colts had lost but not removing morale and putting in John Unitas but stayed with his man in a manner somewhat similar to Bud Grant of Minnesota who doesn't pause sake his players very quickly a very easily I would give my company a lot of credit tonight wouldn't you done certainly would not if I could I'd like to give a little credit to our statistician Jerry capstan spotter ever brother act down cap Stein Baltimore will have the football Rams have no timeouts remaining column ro will run one play [Music] but a credit to a vine blocking offensive line of the Baltimore coast this evening Dan Sullivan doing a fine job all night against Dave Jones [Applause] boy bacon I'll go up to protect the football that should just about do it Baltimore Colts not Jena the victory their record now
