NY Giants @ Washington 1991

[Music] rfk stadium in washington the home of the redskins a cool clear windy day in washington as the redskins get set to renew that long rivalry with the giants redskins of course are the champions of the nfc east and the giants are out of it pat summerall here with john madden it has been a very difficult controversial in some ways year for the new head coach of the giants ray hanley yeah and i think that he's feeling right now that he's not a cinch and he's going to be back next year last week in giant stadium they started yelling ray must go they're seven and seven we talked to him last night and he said that these last two games are very important especially to get that nine and seven record and having a winning year i think a lot of it is going to go on phil sims's shoulder today he's had a very good record against the redskins in fact he's 6-0 against him in their last sixth time he hurt his shoulder last week didn't practice all week but he looked good in the pre-game warm-ups the other guy that's important here is lawrence taylor who didn't look good in the pre-game world took a couple plays went in had to have his knee brace adjusted he seemed very tentative in the linebacker drills early when they first came out the redskins are going to kick off giants have back deep hampton and megan lowe miller will do the kicking honors for some reason we're not quite ready yet well the ball's ready the kicker's ready the return gags are ready and here it is it will be megan at about the two raven caldwell down to make the stop phil sims opens at quarterback as john madden said the last six times these two teams have played and his record six and all up front elliot roberts boats moore reisenberg and howard cross at tight end hampton and carthan will open it running back ingram and baker wide receivers first and ten giants at their own fifteen two tight ends to open ingram comes in motion sims will throw it on first down down at about the 35 stopped by martin mayhew 21-yard pickup arm looked okay there didn't it it sure did man williams johnson and stokes the front four for washington marshall millen in the middle and andre collins the linebackers but they'll do a lot of switching around yardage there mayhew in green the cornerbacks edwards and danny copeland the two safety men first and ten giants at their own 35s in their own setback make it down by tim johnson and fred stokes four-yard game i think it was important that the giants start out that way you know that there was a lot of talk about phil simms his shoulder like we said he didn't practice all week you know was he going to be okay i think you want to answer that question right away and as you said he come back boom he zipped that out out there and had proved to himself his teammates and probably more importantly the redskins that hey the arm's okay before the year began joe gibson that's the man he fears more than anyone else billy johnson again stops hampton only a yard well you know over the years these giants have really had the the redskins number and it's been a number of guys it's been phil simms as we said his record is 6-0 against joe gibbs he remembers that he also remembers dave megan he said that's the guy that we have to stop and he said until someone tells me or shows me that lawrence taylor slowed up he said i'm not going to believe that third and five make it back deep with sims in the shotgun charles mann almost took sims head off and a flag on the play oh boy there's a there's a bunch you know just because you someone jumps that doesn't give you the right to uh to knock that quarterback around although man did miss him matt hagerty the referee charles mann has been having a problem with that jumping off sides defense offside first down see right there he was he was way in the backfield before that ball was ever snapped then watch what he does to phil sims here he took a whap luckily he didn't hit him that would have been 15 yards first and ten thanks to hampton again gets across the 50 into territory a gain of six you know the last time they played the redskins couldn't stop the giants running what wilbur marshall said they were doing is they were stunning or slamming too much and they would commit in one way and then they said then hampton would get the ball and see which way they were slamming and then he would veer away from it so today the redskins are going to start out without the slanting and stunning on running downs and just play them straight second and fourth good pass protection this is the thing the couple passes so far that sims has thrown he stayed clean watch his pass protection boom boom good solid middle that lets him step up no pressure from the outside perfect pass protection get it away sims holds his hand up there to call plays like you know he's shielding the right side so they can't see him talk over there on that red-skinned sideline that probably is what he's doing yeah when you play that one you think everything is back to throw again off the hands of howard cross you hate to keep bringing up mark bavaro but remember that pass and that guy sims throw in that pattern that was automatic to bavaro but as it almost gets touched right there but it goes right through the defensive lineman's hands and then it's right in across his hand and hits him in the face you got to catch that ball right through his hands when it's in your hands it hits you in the face there's no excuses to about the 32 he picked up two stopped by raven caldwell i think one of the things the giants being out of and we know that they're going to be looking for things and making changes i think one of the things that they have to look for is a new tight end or a tight end ray hanley says next year he's going to do it his way that he tried to babysit a bill parcells team this year but next year it's going to be totally different it's going to be his team let's go with four wide receivers they get it to make it he can make some things happen stop by wilbur marshall again of four he'll be short of the first down this will be an interesting call now for ray hanley you know what do you do and i think in this type of thing that the way to play the redskins is just get them back on their heels and i think that's what he's going to do remember the dallas cowboys did that here at rfk took the crowd out go on fourth down but of course you have to pick it up too they need three they go with four wide receivers [Applause] collins again made the stop and now for an nfl update let's send you back to new york and here's greg gumbel all right pat it's all over in atlanta seattle then atlanta wins the wild card spot pat no score at rfk in washington we're in the first quarter with 9 20 left it's been a good drive by the giants to hampton to about the 17. tim johnson was the first to hit him you know the interesting thing about the giants pat is they always seem to have good drives or good drives early this year then the two trouble they've had is one when they get in this red zone or inside the 20 and they're getting close to that right now and then two is that darn fourth quarter yeah i mean they could play the first and the second quarter's great the third quarter they look like dynamite and then boom they drop everything in the fourth quarter look at that the redskins have been just about opposite yeah that's that's when the redskins have been getting off the slow start and then coming back maury's karthon is hammered right at the line of scrimmage by charles mann no game charles mann was in there you know they they've been getting runners like charles mann says okay i had enough of that he was going to take a take a pinch move in there and stop that run he and matt millen watch him take an inside move right now you see he sees the ball coming in there matt millen's in there they brought their safety up danny copeland that's a way to stop the run you bring the safety up give them eight men then by one 11 plays in this drive so far on third down bounces out of the hands of rodney hampton aj johnson was the cover man washington and here comes barr in the field goal unit sims was almost perfect he had two incomplete passes the one we saw earlier and this one here to hampton looked like he looked at hampton and turner thought that he would have been open in the end zone maybe he would have been but you have to remember a defender will come off once the ball is thrown barr will try from 36 yards out kavanagh is the holder ray hanley was saying last night that bars just still getting used to kavanagh [Applause] and the giants take the lead three nothing [Applause] 7 39 left in the first quarter and the redskins haven't had the ball yet mark griffin will open the quarterback what a year he's had not always too successful against the giants but his ear has been good the offensive front is good and solid lachey mckenzie bostic mark schloreth jacoby has moved over to right tackle and donnie warren starts at tight end finer and the three wide receivers monk sanders and clark has some weapons barr will kick it off giants had the ball for 13 plays kept it seven minutes 21 seconds got a field goal mitchell and ervins will be back deep eric dorsey barr still looks like a kid doesn't he that seems like he's been kicking in this league forever short kick by mitchell mitchell up to the 36. roger brown made the stop ray hanley had said to us last night that uh lawrence taylor wouldn't start but he is are you talking about barb looking like a kid he's not looking like a linebacker there he's not going to let anyone get a blind shot on him nope there he got it one though he was playing off one guy and he got the other one now who would think you would pay that much attention to a kicker and it is incomplete the giant defense has dorsey howard and leonard marshall up front banks reasons johnson and taylor and the secondary collins and williams the cornerback in place of everson walls guyton and jackson are the two safeties and the redskins go without a huddle [Music] [Applause] 65 yards ripping the clark [Applause] that is football right there it's not only getting open and catching it but making big plays and when you get a guy like gary clark and he catches it you better tackle him you better wrap your arm that was pathetic tackling by the giants and when you have a guy like gary clark who is always thinking big plays this guy will kill you you better rack him up blow miller's extra point is good redskins fire right back and they lead 7-3 with 7-12 left in the first quarter gary clark says he says every time i get the ball i think touchdown he said that's why sometimes i will drop them because i think a touchdown but if you look at this that's 12 completions that they've had this year of 45 or more yards that's that's big play that's striking of course when you have guys like gary clark i've always put in the top receivers and all the football and then monk and sanders they have a lot of guys to go to and ripon has been able to get the ball to them and he's had great pass protection of course the giants better learn that when you come in here you have to play defense and if you're going to play defense you've got to get after that quarterback and more importantly you have to tackle some of the other scores from around the league and the playoff picture begins to clear up just a bit minnesota beat the rams this is going to be megan again this time out of bounds at about the 35 by martin mayhew there's al grow the defensive coordinator he was talking to the defense you know if there's anything that upset i mean guys are going to get beat i mean that happens in defense but there's no excuse for not tackling there's no excuse for miss tackle it's brian williams who is the injured giant and williams was there in the wedge on the kickoff return and of course that kickoff coverage team gets a full run down on you and you have some real collisions down there don't forget next saturday the packers against the vikings at 3 30 eastern time john madden and i'll be up in the north country of minnesota and of course the site of super bowl 26 which we will attend also be with us next saturday at 3 30 from minnesota you'll see there's there's there's a wedge right here so here's what we call a wedge now here's williams he's that guy right there right in the middle of the wedge see and then they all start up now now these these guys that are coming down they get a full head of steam and they're coming down full speed now it looked like williams was blocking one guy and then danny copeland number 26 for the redskins boom he came in and hit williams williams was looking at the other side the guy he was blocking and didn't see copeland he hit him with his helmet with a running start that was one that was right helmet 2 helmet one thing in the national football league they take every precaution which they'll do now they're going to bring out a a cart to get williams off the field he really took a shot from copeland took the full force of his helmet and that running start you were talking about well and he was ready he was ready to block to his left and looking at his left and it was not only the the full shot but it was one that he didn't see they started to bring the card out then they waved that off and they asked for the stretcher so it's brian williams this is the injured giant saturday at noon eastern time college football returns to cbs sports when youngstown state takes on marshall in the division one double-a championship game from statesboro georgia marshall's led by quarterback michael payton they defeated eastern kentucky 14-7 youngstown state beat samford 10-nothing in the semi-finals college football saturday here on cbs ryan williams is still down out there the back up offensive linemen for the giants remember he was a number one draft choice the giants out of minnesota in 1989. and again the one thing in any of these type of injuries and they want to make sure that they don't move him before he is checked out complete completely [Music] see the doctor down there in the in the brown coat the lady just behind him is an orthopedic surgeon when they in every stadium in the national football league now they they have all the equipment one to get the player off the field and then two all the x-ray equipment is in every stadium so they'll do what they can do on the field and then the next step will do will be to do what they can do in the locker room area sims just signaled over you probably saw him signal over to the sideline that uh in his opinion at least everything seems okay but as john madden was saying no chances are going to be taken they do have brian williams on the stretcher now anxious teammates redskins leading 7-3 we're still in the first quarter with seven minutes and two seconds remaining the anxious teammates of brian williams you know it's the it's a teammates and it's the opponents and it's everyone you know i mean these are the things that that no one wants and everyone is you know prayers and thoughts are just with brian williams at this time as soon as we can find out what the situation is we'll let you know [Applause] ingram is the man in motion on first and town and sends back to throw a lot of time he gets it to baker baker slips down at the 45. [Music] we welcome those of you who watched dallas in philadelphia the final score was dallas 25. philadelphia 17 and also those of you who watch detroit defeat green bay 21-17 here at rfk stadium that's brian williams being taken to the locker room for x-rays it's first and ten giants redskins leading 7-3 in the first quarter hit behind the line by tim johnson that was the thing that the the redskins know when we talked to joe gibbs yesterday he says we have to stop that run he said that's the first thing then we have to make a pass and we have to go after him and we have to watch out that megan doesn't get open so the the first goal they had is to stop the run they haven't been doing that successfully and that was the first time that they really did by getting penetration second and 11. [Music] sims will throw it danny copeland with an assist four-yard game you know one thing down there that that field is a little slippery i think it's a heavy field and you have to wear the right cleats on this field you're going to slip but it seems like the giants are having a little trouble early in this game with their footing their redskins know what kind of cleats are where in fact that's when joe gibbs's pet peeves he says is wearing the right cleats with no tape on your shoes said you have to wear long cleats you can't wear turf shoes on this grass field third and seven sims is six out of eight odessa turner is the movement and sends back to throw it again incomplete turner was the intended receiver he had good coverage here by wilbur marshall over marshall is a happy now because he's playing every down he came in and he wasn't they were taking him out on passing and that killed him and he knows that he can rush a passer or cover and he showed his coverage that time landed upon it brian mitchell lets it bounce turn her down to down at about the five so the redskins will take over after a 36-yard punt by landeta they lead 7-3 rfk stadium the redskins leading the giants seven to three the word on brian williams is that he was complaining on the field of numbness in his neck they checked his vital signs everything seemed positive but they have taken him inside for x-rays as a precautionary measure so it's encouraging as encouraging as it can be eric dorsey made the stop finer got three yards you know the redskins do more with tight ends than any team in the nfl usually they just have one back and that's byner that time they had terry orr in there and he was in the backfield so they'll play their tight ends at a tight end position they'll play him as a slot they'll put him in motion and they'll also put one of them in the backfield as a lead blocker like they did that last play they carry four or five tight ends on their roster and they use them probably more than any team in the nfl ryder stopped by about a yard short of a first down 7-3 the redskins lead it giants took the opening kickoff and drove for a field goal by barr 36 yards the redskins bounced right back their second play ripping 65 yards to gary clark third and one i hear the redskins line up in a bunch and this is what they say they call explode now they explode they move but they stay in a bunch now this is motion short and ripping attendant was convinced someone should be called for interference scary reasons but no flag and art monk is one of those guys that's been around forever keeps getting younger one of the most valuable players on this team says very little but on that play he did have something to say leads by example they say but yes he was vocal about that good burn back to punt megan back deep for the giants off the side of his foot megan's gonna let it bounce the redskins down at about their 43. so 2 48 left to play in the first quarter redskins 7 giants 3. 25 yard punt changing cleats as john was saying a minute ago this field is usually damp and kind of soft and if you haven't got the right kind of shoes on a lot of slipping and sliding first down at the 25. the giants have real good field position here and the way they got it was that 25 yard punt by kelly goodburn and they made a good move on their punt return what they did is you look here they look like they're going to double here and double here then the two double guys come off and they come into here and then that makes a block good burn sees it and then he rushes it and in rushing it he gets a 25-yard punt up see him coming in now they come in then they get an overload he saw that first attempt this is hampton right at the line of scrimmage very little eric williams again on the stop there's al grow the defensive coordinator of the giants i'll tell you he had some big shoes to fill and i think when the giants lost bill belichick that was a big loss he was a defensive coordinator then when they lost bill parcells he was kind of the architect of the whole thing so they lost their top two defensive coaches and i think that has been one of their problems all year their defense is really hurting and they also lost it's a big loss seems to throw it outside the hampton outbound i decided in fact he's still down down there he was saying darn daryl greene is one of the best cover guys in the league he's also one of the fastest guys he's still down we've got to get you out of the way we're not going to go he took that that helmet off and watch him here's number 28 daryl queen is 28 oh he went he went to hit hampton and then wilbur marshall hit him that is something you know you're ready to make a hit and then you get hit and daryl green was saying where'd that one come from from my teammate the first word he said was darn for him that's serious eight of 11 is sims and this is hampton to about the 10. andre collins stopped him i'm sure there's one guy happy that's number 57 in there matt millen when he's the guy that's happy that the giants are running with the ball because he's a guy that wherever he goes just seems to win he's with the raiders they go to super bowl then he goes to the 49ers they go to super bowls then he's playing b he comes here and they go to a super bowl maybe but the thing is he only plays on running downs and that's really frustrating to him [Applause] stopped again by wilbur marshall you know we talked to joe gibbs yesterday he said his two concerns with this team were one his running game he has to be able to run and two his defense not tackling well that's the end of the first quarter with the score the redskins seven the giants three [Music] you're watching cbs sports coverage of the national football league redskins lead the giants 7-3 at the end of the first quarter look at that time of possession 12 49 for the giants 211 for the redskins but washington leads look at those first downs the giants have had eight the redskins only won worse in this league you have to tackle and you have to make big plays the redskins made the big play that pass to gary clark from 65 yards out first and goal at the three the giants have had some you know this is their second real good drive and they just have to have success when they get to the 20 to punch it in for touchdowns hampton behind carthage didn't get in caldwell was the first to make the hit you know one other thing ray hanley may change if he's back next year is he's his own offensive coordinator and you know it's tough in today's football to to be a head coach and everything you have to do and offensive coordinator and i bet that will change next year even daryl green was signaled in place for the goal length of which he's not part of the two [Applause] got penetration in there watch number 57 one of the things that he does well is get up in the air and get in your backfield that was milling right there and then the cleanup was able to come watch andre collins number 55 just as he starts to jump he meets him right at the top of the jump third and goal from the one hampton again as the deep back [Music] [Applause] and there's a flag i believe a flag in the end zone there was a lot of stuff going on the end zone there was a touchdown in the end zone a fight in the end zone and a flag in the end zone personal foul washington number 58 after the play was over 10 y's on the kickoff west 58 is wilbur marshall you see phil sims is in the end zone it's a touchdown and wilbur marshall got him low and from behind he's lucky he didn't get hurt i know it because he was looking at that hit that he was getting from up on top but he made a heck of a move with the ball on danny copeland barr's extra point is good and the giants recaptured the lead they leave the redskins 10-7 let's just play again it's a bootleg both backs will go to the left and then sims is going to bootleg out now watch when he fakes here he's going to fake with the ball copeland goes up in the air and then when he comes down sims is wide open to the goal line he gets in the goal line wilbur marshall hits him there that gives a giant 15-yard penalty in the kickoff which would be a good place for an onside kick right here 13 26 left in the first half giants up by three [Music] got three stopped by reasons and that was that old counter tray that they run more than anyone and probably do it better than anyone look at this the giants have had 24 offensive plays the redskins only six the redskins are going without a huddle here they're going no harder when you get these division rivalry and you get these rivalry games i think the officials have to be pretty tight early because you're going to get guys playing a little extra you're going to get them going after things now you can't tell where the sideline is here it was on gary reasons but again did he hit him after he went out of bounds just a minute now that haggard he has his mic on he says just a minute now the redskins again are going without a huddle this is something new for them outside the 40 to the 41 tackled by mark collins reasons again six yard pickup however that was a little bit out of sync well then you know they may be out of sync again they're going no huddle you just watch him here mark griffin is out there calling the plays right on the line of scrimmage this looks a little like cincinnati you start everyone kind of in a bunch see then he tells the guys in the left and he tells the guys you're right what to do collins and banks will stop on but he got 21 yards and another first down now the redskins get off to slow starts and i think this is joe gibbs's answer to it again they're going in no huddle you know if we can't get off to a good start let's change the pace and see if that will help us get off to a better start and they relay the messages four wide receivers or three on the tight end here by banks only gained a yard jim lachey was out of the game he's going back in now when lashay was out they moved ed simmons to left tackle joe jacoby the left tackle i mean ed simmons came in at right tackle now jacoby's back right down there's still no huddle off that ripping a throw for sanders jackson was back there sanders had a couple of steps sanders is a big play guy of the of the three wide receivers of the posse sanders is the fastest so sometimes he's a forgotten guy because he's also the best blocker this year they've seen a major in in art monk and gary clark and not as much to sanders but he's still a very valuable guy and if you're going to go for a big one he's the guy you like to go to joe gibbs was saying yesterday that ripon is a really an outstanding long passer not that he throws the ball that far but he has a great sense of timing he has a good feel for it because he doesn't have a strong arm he has a lot of time he gets in the direction and for an nfl update let's send you again back to new york and greg gumbel all right pat the nfl is confirming that by virtue of the dallas cowboys 25-13 win over the eagles today the cowboys have earned an nfc wild card spot that plus the detroit win gives them a tiebreaker advantage over the eagles and the 49ers should they tie pat here in washington it's 10-7 the giants over the redskins have good burn back at about 48. make it deep [Applause] did what he wanted to he just didn't get a good bounce 10-7 giants this playoff summary is sponsored by coors late the playoff summary and the playoff situation somewhat clearer now washington chicago buffalo denver houston kansas city the raiders detroit dallas and atlanta have all clinched miami can clinch a birth with a win today that'll take care of the afc one berth remains open in the nfc as we head into the final week megan is the only setback behind sims this time [Applause] wilbur marshall and eric williams bring him down in that time of possession and giants win all those things a lot of times but again it goes down to that fourth quarter where they have the trouble and that's that's when they have to get it we see a little change of pace here megan coming in and running on first down he's usually a third down guy and that was one of the things ray hanley wanted to do is get him in there more on first down and running the ball it's maggot on the move this time sam's lost the ball the redskins have it copeland came up with it danny copeland's been all over the place today that's getting that eighth guy up there the safety that's where copeland is you see there was right under eric moore's foot he didn't even see it or feel it watch the snap here bart oates gets the ball up and then as it hits his hand it goes out maybe it was up to the side maybe it wasn't slapped right back up there eric moore was blocking and the ball was right under his feet first and 10 redskins on the 17th ervins is now the running back for washington [Applause] by jackson 15-yard run yeah and that one pat the redskins had three tight ends in there two of them on the line of scrimmage but one of them in the backfield with urban you see they got the two then they get the lead with the tight end and then the cut back i'll tell you the redskins really like this rookie ricky irvin because he is a change of pace himself he's a good darter he's hard to find but as joe gibb says he's a little guy he's a short guy but he's very very powerful he reminds you very much of megan [Applause] there's ripon lag on the honor the end zone incomplete intended for terry orr now he threw that one last week that play pass terry orr was wide open like they gave him a new nickname they started calling him touchdown terry orr gary orr was one of the three tight ends in there and that was the motion terrior was given that it's against the giants the giants had 12 men in on defense the one guy that's going out right now was eric collins so he had to be the extra guy in fact he could have been the guy that's in coverage back there maybe that was a reason he couldn't complete the pass to terior penalty was against the giants they moved closer first and goal with the one see up there on the top of the screen 47 that's where they had the safety in the corner gerald riggs [Applause] from a yard out he's the specialist for that those offensive linemen love that they love goal line you just get down there and root them out and when your nicknames are the hogs you can't beat that that's fine living you should be able to root after you walk you can't beat it oh miller's extra point is good [Applause] watch him root him out now see those guys in there root they got them all rooted out look at that hole the redskins lead 9 16 left to play in the first half washington 14 10. oh miller's kick is high to about the sixth handled by megan redskins special teams do the job again megan gets back to the 20 copeland again was the man who made the stop he has been all over the place he's been on the on the special teams he's he's been back there on the pass defense and then he comes up in the line to become the eighth guy or the extra linebacker against the run and he came up with the fumble recovery rfk stadium in washington pat summerhall with john madden the giants trailing the redskins 14-10 with 905 left to play in the first half it is starting to get cold it's already cold that's football weather the big guys love it that's hampton working a couple of tackles copeland again with an assist from wilbur marshall these guys love it you know it's all in the eyes of beholder you know football weather like the the quarterbacks and kickers hate windy weather wide receivers and defensive backs hate cold weather big linemen hate hot weather and they're like santa claus they like cold weather the big linemen santa looked a little tousled well he's he's resting up he got a big job to do in a couple weeks you got to get your rest sit down rest get a load off your feet here comes the rich skin grits after sims and it's intercepted danny copeland with the interception this pokemon's an amazing player he was a plan b player from kansas city joe gibbs told him he could be a running back but he wanted to be he moved him to defense strong safety became the starter there when alvin walton went down and look at these plays that he's making today that's as fine a catch as a wide receiver can make boy now he's down because he was touched right there but what a game this guy is having he's done everything man all over the field [Applause] finer is back at running back today one thing that joe gibbs i'm sure wanted to do with that no huddle is change the tempo you know get the momentum away from the giants get the tempo he did it and now they got the momentum back they got the tempo back so they're going back to a regular huddle offense and three [Music] [Applause] ripping that's what gary clark is laughing at with art punk and monk is laughing dude how can you be that wide open i'll show you how you're that wide open watch your play fake here finer does an excellent job he sells it then it's his run look there's no there's no pass rush here ripping has the time and art monk is wide open you talk about taking a bite on a play fake look everyone's up arc mud runs through behind and across the secondary eric dorsey made the tackle hey this this team could really strike quick look at that starting their own 35 two plays touchdown the two plays 17 yards touchdown run they don't they don't need a heck of a lot of plays when they get the ball [Applause] from 22 yards out from ribbon [Applause] jackson that's it the defense gets a take away copeland's been all over the field he makes the inter interception boom the offense gets it and they take it into the end zone and that's why this team is the best team international no snap good burn comes up with it low miller's kick is good there's a little roll ripping outside watch terry orr on this he's running away from jackson he starts he has about two steps on him right there jackson didn't look like he ever went for the ball when you get down there in the endzone you got to try something i mean dive throw something do something just don't let them run by you they do score in a hurry on the giants penalize on the kickoff number 77 unnecessary roughness your scene there is a happy bench even the guys that didn't catch it are happy redskins 21-10 [Applause] but here's terrior here pat he just runs a corner pattern the strong safety comes up the the other safety comes over he comes too flat and he lets org get by him watch him see the strong safety comes up jackson comes over and orm makes a good move on him but it shouldn't be that easy oh miller's kick is high to make it downs it about a yard deep into the end zone saturday at 12 o'clock eastern time again a reminder that college football returns to cbs when youngstown state takes on marshall in the division one double a championship game from statesboro georgia college football this saturday on cbs megan is split wide to the left this time the redskins leading 21-10 seems to throw a screen pass to come to hampton [Applause] andre collins anytime you're out there in a screen pass you're the first guy you just want to hold them up until you get some help here you want the rush to come you invite them up then you try and throw it over their head but watch 55 all you have to do is hold the guy there hold the guy there then there should be a guy coming from the middle and a guy coming from the outside and the other outside and the help arrived you try and form a triangle around the guy who catches a screen pass second and nine seventh incomplete intended for howard cross the tight end it'll bring up a third and nine you won't see a lot of that you see who was back there in in past defense it was matt millen a guy who really enjoys playing and he's usually in there only against a run one of those guys that can never keep his shirt tail in and doesn't want to keep his shirt tail in when you talk about a football player matt millen is just a football player he always has been wherever he's been [Applause] here comes the safety blitz and sins goes down aj johnson came from the outside sims raised his hands like what am i supposed to do now what happens that's that's a problem when you go four wide receivers and a running back who doesn't block that they're going to bring the safety on you you're inviting the rush and if you can't handle the rush then the quarterback will never get the ball that's tough going four wide receivers mitchell is deep mandela will punt it mitchell still on his feet gets into giant territory [Applause] 47-yard punt 14-yard return 21-10 there's brian mitchell he had him he had trouble last week against the cardinals and fumbled a couple but they didn't blame him that's wayne severe there his coach and he blamed the guys that were supposed to hold up the guys that got down there and hit him and wayne sevier was all upset this week about their punt return and they spent a lot of time working on that area they have all the weapons scramble i think it's one of joe gibson's favorite players ernest spiner because he just he's just one of those guys that's an all-out player yeah i mean he gets a little banged up he plays the same way never gets frustrated always gives whatever he's had and joe gibson how can you ever put a guy like that on the bench taylor was slow getting up limped off taking his play second and one but they're gonna bring this one back you know i love to see a guy smile on the on the on the field you know and today's sports it doesn't seem like guys have as much fun maybe as they should when you see a guy smile and laugh and and have fun while they're playing it's it's kind of refreshing number 63 offense still second down taylor is hurting yeah well it's that left knee and you know he gutted it out last week against the eagles and he probably shouldn't have played and if he should have he played more than he should have and it's just catching up with him you just you just can't do it second at 11. incomplete you know art monk is something gary clark was saying everything he gets he changes or cuts if you look at his sleeve he has his sleeves cut off in fact he's supposed to have he's supposed to have three things down there he only has two right here so he only has the brown and the orange he doesn't have that next level down so he doesn't have that white level down he cuts off the sleeves on the things he he wears one wristband he cuts out the the soles of the socks he said every piece of equipment he messes with and he's worn the same pair of shoes for five years harry williams brought him down 12-yard gain that should be enough for a first down you know art monk is one of those guys who just plays football you know doesn't do a lot of celebrating you know just when he catches a ball it's like that's what he's supposed to do that's what he's paid to do and that's what he's expected to do some of these guys they jump up and down and they think they've done something that's what you are and art monk i think epitomizes the word pro he is one of the very best at protecting the ball getting his body between himself and the defender in the ball he's ripping the throat well jackson got the hit on him that time remember jackson was the guy that got beat by the corner pattern for the touchdown by orr but listen to this hit [Applause] that's what it's about rick jackson brought his load on that one yards and another first down miller and johnson yeah you can just tell that things are going bad for the giants they're seven and seven they're out of the playoffs and the one guy that doesn't want to be the guy that doesn't play when they go down is lawrence taylor and you know maybe sometimes your heart's just too big lost the ball momentarily but got it back miller knocked it loose yard pickup corey miller comes in there watch watch finer usually once you get outside you want the ball in the outside hand and he got that ball almost knocked into his outside hand two minutes left to play in the first half injured red skin is ore i believe well donnie warren second down counter tray carl banks chased him down after a gain of and counter trey watch lawrence taylor he's probably seen this play as much as anyone here comes the guard and the tackle the tackle is joe jacoby jacoby hit taylor knocked him on his back right into the ball carrier although he gained five yards taylor can just not move to his outside i think as long as everything stays in inside him he's okay but once it goes outside he can't do anything about it third and fourth intended for sanders incomplete he was open i'll tell you it was a heck of a of a throw by mark griffin and this is why look at this he's had 12 pass attempts he hasn't been sacked hurried knocked down had any batted balls or interception so that's you want to keep your quarterback clean that's keeping a clean quarterback that one there should have been a touchdown to ricky sanders from 36 yards out he got off to a very hot start but of late things have not been going so well however that one does and the redskins increased their lead to 24-10 with a minute two seconds left to play in the first half [Music] coming up on the dockers nfl today halftime report greg and terry with all the scores at the highlights latest information plus a complete playoff update at the half [Applause] here at rfk stadium he is clean isn't he he sure is usually on a on a grass turf like that in the as you're getting towards the end of the first half the quarterback will have some stains on his back especially when they're wearing white jerseys it's going to be rodney hampton take 14-yard return by hampton i don't know what they paid danny copeland but whatever it is he's earning it today because he's not only on every defensive play he's up in there playing like an extra linebacker he's in the secondary he's on the special teams and watch him cover i mean he's running down there like he wants to get there and do something he's not running down there like he's some safety and he's taking on a big offensive lineman coming off that and making the tackle that is a heck of a special team 51 seconds left to play in the first half andre collins took make it out of bounds i think one thing you didn't have to worry you know they were talking about the washington redskins being motivated and all this stuff they're a motivated team i think when you have guys like this guys like joe jacoby that have been there with joe gibbs ever since he's been here that these guys know the importance of every football game and they relay it to everyone second at 15. [Applause] 46 seconds remain in the first half 24 the giants 10. if you look at the at the washington defense this quarter they kind of turned things around from the first quarter they haven't allowed any points they got a quarterback sat they forced two turnovers that's a big thing minus 11 pass yards allowed they were pulling over early and then they turned it around that's a credit to richie pettibone there sims back to throw on third down he gets it out to megan megan is taken down by monty coleman after a three yard pickup for the redskins call a timeout and now with with 30 seconds uh 36 seconds left to go and two timeouts left they can probably go for a punt block here and take a couple more shots 24-10 washington leads the giants back at rfk stadium landeta back to punt brian mitchell redskins short kick mitchell signals fair catch that'll stop but the giants pick it up but you can't advance it lamar mcgriggs comes up with the fumble recovery or the muff recovery but i'll tell you the one thing it does it gives the giants real good field position here you can see mitchell's going for a fair a fair catch he just misjudged it you know the same thing happened to him last week one of his own guys flew in front of him and he got hit in the face mask against phoenix there i think he misjudged it because he had to take a half a step back but now the giants have a legitimate shot here first and ten from the 39. down goes sims the flag down on the play also man cut sims down this is when they need their pass protection now you better take the time out the giants have all three timeouts they shouldn't even let that much time go on look at this this is just a three-man rush man just knocks reisenberg to the outside that's the same move that he had trouble with last week against reggie white holding 65 offense decline that was a great move that charles mann put on doug reisenberg nine-yard loss watch this reisenberg has to stay in there he's at the right tackle up on top you have to keep that left foot inside there you see him he just knocked him to the outside reisenberg has a bad ankle and then boom he's right in there on sims and that should not happen when they only rush three men charles mann's been bothered by a sore knee almost the entire year but it looks like it's improved well it was on that play and he learned that move that was that club move and going inside that reggie white made some big plays last week against the but again it shouldn't happen in a three-man line because you have five offensive linemen in there blocking those three and his right guard eric moore should have been right there second and 19 when they come back with 23 seconds left to play in the first half but both teams have two timeouts three-man rush again sims to throw it pass is intercepted by monty coleman daryl green got the ball from coleman maybe a big scuff could be before it's over there's number 58 rover marshall i'll guarantee you whenever there's a scuffle wilbur marshall being one of the guys right in the middle of it bonnie coleman has been playing past defense forever seems like it and he's probably one of the best past defense linebackers in the league he made the interception and then he turned around and he saw daryl green he said i'm going to give it to the fastest guy in football so he gave it to daryl green but there's another guy who loves to play he loves to play the game [Applause] 11 seconds now as griffin goes back to throw it intended for gary just a clark bit behind him but catchable you know i think when you start talking about emotion and games and meaningful games i don't think it shows in the first quarter or maybe even in the second quarter where it's really going to show us when guys start to get tired and i think if it is you know no emotion and those types of things i think you see it when the players get more tired in the third and fourth quarter we're starting to see a little of it right now i think six seconds will have one more ploy still chase is a man behind you the ball's down the giants get it back but that's all the time in the first half eric howard that's the end of the first half with the score the redskins 24 the giants 10. the nfl today dockers halftime report is sponsored by levi's dockers relax you're among friends welcome back to our studios in new york everyone along with terry bradshaw i'm greg gumbel at half time of the game at rfk stadium the redskins leading the new york giants by score of 24 to 10 on the strength of two mark ripon touchdown passes now here's to clarify the playoff picture let's start in the nfc starting the day washington chicago detroit all clinch playoff births dallas clinches today with a victory and the same for atlanta now remaining for that final playoff spot in the nfc new orleans san francisco and philadelphia should the saints beat the raiders tomorrow night then the saints will be in the playoffs otherwise these three teams will go down to the final week of the season in the afc five starting the day already clinch buffalo houston denver the raiders and kansas city miami and the jets are vying for that last afc playoff spot the jets losers today should miami beat san diego then miami will qualify for that sixth and final playoff spot in the afc otherwise these teams meet in joe robbie stadium next week to determine who goes to the playoffs now phoenix is playing at denver the broncos still chasing the afc western division championship and at halftime they're leading the phoenix cardinals by a score of 10-3 john elway has thrown a three-yard touchdown pass to shannon sharp for the game's only score philadelphia at home today saw their six-game winning streak snapped by the dallas cowboys 25-13 the score what a job the dallas defense did seven sacks today and they remember the 11 sacks their offense got in the first meeting the eagles only won sacked today greg kelvin martin 85 yard punt return to put dallas on top for keeps after the game super sub quarterback steve berlin it was just like we thought it'd be an ugly game a very ugly game that first half we really couldn't get on track but we found a way to get it done the second half and we're fired up believe me we're excited about this one dallas wins it 25-13 us new orleans victory tomorrow night eliminates the philadelphia eagles at lambeau field in green bay the detroit lions clinched a playoff spot they are still in the hunt for the nfc central division championship they beat green bay today mel gray a pro bowler the last two years shows why 78-yard punt return in the fourth quarter to put the game away for detroit 21-17 the final after the game of jubilant head coach wayne fontes it was a great team effort my coaching staff did a tremendous job preparing the players and the players played a final fine football game good enough to win anyway we're in the playoffs i'm so excited can't wait he's so excited he just can't hide it 21-17 detroit wins it and that's the lion's first victory outdoors this season seattle seahawks went into atlanta trying to keep their slim playoff hopes alive in the afc didn't happen the falcons clinch a playoff spot with a 26 to 13 win they've been there and we had some great block it looked like a punt return running through that to me where's the first second time for you oh we too legit to quits falcons win it 26-13 atlanta still in the hunt for the nfc west championship if they win next week they will claim it their first since 1980. at minnesota the vikings started the day with a shot outside shot at the final playoff spot in the nfc they win 20-14 but they were eliminated by that atlanta victory the houston oilers and the cleveland browns brown started the day still on the playoff hunt in the afc but they fall to the houston oilers 17-14 warren moon warren to the right throws back to the left to jeffries he's done this about 680 times this year 18 yards out matt stover with a chance to tie it in the final seconds that kick goes wide it would have sent it into overtime cleveland eliminated houston wins it 17-14 miami very much in the running for that wild card spot in the afc if they beat the chargers today they are in they are tied in the third quarter right now at 10 and 10. final score at the meadowlands the new york jets fall to the new england patriots six to three the jets missed two short field goals today it certainly would have been the difference and the jets are now watching that san diego miami score should miami lose then the jets have a chance to make the playoffs when they go to joe robbie stadium next week and in a game that meant absolutely nothing today the pittsburgh steelers beat the cincinnati bengals by score of 17 to 10 the steelers go to six and nine the bengals fall to two and thirteen and the nfl today continues here on cbs after this word from your local station second quarter it was just about the opposite these are second quarter only the redskins in the second quarter scored 17 points they had first downs eight to one and that's where they got the lead bars kick sails into the end zone mitchell goes back and downs it there that was miscommunication that was a definition of miscommunication now they're working mitchell are back there talking one of them said i got it you take it some of the people that were out in the christmas celebration were asked at the half who they thought should run for president when election time comes john madden be great for president he could explain everything at the white house with the chalk talk we could finally understand what politics is all about and he could even juggle while he's doing it what was her name dingbale well you got two sure votes i want to get that name of that one because if you're going to have someone who's on your side at least you want to be able to call them by their name let's have another yeah ding bell that's it well thank you thing bell that's very very nice we'll just stay on the ground everything everything will just stay in the ground and most other things will stay put they want to stay put stay in the ground i wonder how we go about getting getting in touch with her just right to dingball dingball washington dc you may get a lot of answers ernest meiner has just gone over a thousand yards for the year 1002 to be exact and you can see why joe gibbs thinks so highly of ernest byner eric howard you see 89 there you see that's terry orr leading again i wonder what the vice president would think he's in shock so is she they just heard they've heard what dingbell said they said what dingbell said what look he just told her dingbell said she could no no not dingbell we thought dingbow was an art camp this time i think the the giants you know they only have a game and a half left to go i think they ought to go to that punt block again you know i mean don't worry about the horse being blind just load the wagon just go make something happen just go dive go after him don't sit and wait go after block the puck kickoff bounced away did they get a reason megan and just kept doing it the giants will take over aj johnson down to down at 46-yard punt mostly roll i guess ricky sanders is over that one that he dropped in the end zone he could have had a touchdown in that first half gary clark i think he's only caught one pass all day and had a couple missed tackles and he ran it in for 65 yards that was the redskins opening touchdown hampton gets the carry check over his own is blocker out of bounds after a pickup of 18 by daryl green you see gary you see on that uh on that play as we look at those stats here daryl green just jumped on him he said that's the way he tackles but look at the giant second quarter possessions the best they did was three plays and out two other players they just had two plays an interception and a fumble first down at their own 45 redskins leading 24-10 ingram eight yard pickup sims to ingram i think the giants right now could could use a quick score here to stay in this game because if the redskins get a a score before the giants do i think this thing can be over first down giants and now matt millen has his jersey completely out that's against the rules but at least it looks like a football player now all he has to do is is get a couple hits where he has a little mud and dirt on that jersey talking to him before the game remember what he said he didn't know what time the game was no i know it was it was like 12 30 and he says what happened in the first game i said nothing they haven't even started playing unless you're talking about pre-game warm-ups he said oh yeah first and ten [Applause] sims just does get rid of it the direction of cross man again applied the heat along with millen watch millen on the uh on the on the blitz here he's just gonna come no one blocks him or anything he just puts his head down just makes like he's a missile and he just runs right through there he doesn't care he doesn't worry about anything he doesn't hit anything either but he doesn't worry about anything he just says they told me sims is going to be straight back there in that line i'm going to run straight back there in that line since took one step miller went right on that line they told him about second and ten sims to throw mark ingram was the intended receiver and andre collins batted it away you know the redskins are playing more zone in this game than than than they have played a lot infected playing a lot like the giants are playing a loose cover two zone they call it a little loose umbrella that does is that makes the quarterback throwing against that makes him have some patience third and ten [Applause] here comes the blitz again sam's ready pass complete baker brad edwards made the stop that's the thing is phil sims can still do this if he gets protection if they want to blitz him and leave guys wide open like this phil sims is still going to find him and he's going to hit him the important thing in this down is if they're going to blitz you have to pick it up boom dave megan you see megan in there a little 30. he he he picks up the blitz good blocking sims of completer sims to hampton defense stretched it out stopped by copeland hampton still got six yards yeah this is a a pretty good position on the field pat i think the giants will probably discover this is you know to hit from the 30 or the 25 they're not very good inside the 20 inside the red zone so if you're not strike before you get there i mean i'd take a shot right now i mean take a shot for the end zone right now second down they need a four and a half five yards here's hampton again danny copeland the first man up to hit him yeah see they're ganging up on that run and again when you get danny copeland up there he's a safety so that means that they have their four linemen three linebackers and a safety that gives them eight so they're going to have the extra man up there against the run that would have been a perfect time to throw you see here here you got your line up here and then you have your extra guy who's right here is copeland so that gives you the eight guys up and you have no blocker to get him and that'll happen every time third and two [Applause] a flag on the play intentional grounding phil says he has a receiver they're just having a tough time when they put the four wide receivers in getting that block there's wilbur marshall marshall hits sims just as he throws it i don't know that that's intentional grounding what's he supposed to do just stand there and let marshall get him with the ball just watch it on the chalkboard here and we'll see if we can stop it right now you'll see here's marshall he has to let this happen he's throwing out here to someone out there he gets rid of the ball i think you have to let the quarterback have that because if he can't have that then you're telling him hey just stay there and take a shot with a ball in your hand stupid sims can't believe it landetta in any case in the punt well it was a third down anyway it was an incomplete pass and they would have lost the ball anyway maybe ray hanley was thinking of going for it on fourth down the giants take a timeout he might still be thinking about going for it eight thirty four left third quarter you know odessa turner should have caught that ball but let's see if sims was over the line here's the yard line where he has to get about the 32-yard line and now he does a good job his pass protection protection breaks down right there now he scrambles is he over the line well it doesn't make any difference because he throws a perfect pass to odessa turner he drops it ricky irvine irvins to midfield tripped up finally by pepper johnson he gained 18. he's exciting well he is and i think one thing you know a lot of people have learned from me from the giants getting dave megat that you can get these guys that aren't the biggest college players you know i mean they're under 5 10 but they can still be very good nfl players they're very tough to tackle he's carrying twice for 33 yards ever johnson again made the stop rfk stadium in washington pat summerall with john madden the redskins who have already clinched the home field advantage throughout the playoffs as long as they continue to win they'll get the open date second and seven the giants are out of it no huddle again for the redskins first down ricky ervins myron guyton made the stop he got nine yards you know i think we're going to see more and more of ricky ervins in the second half a game yeah i think this is a great time to bring them in they're changing the pace again they're going with no huddle the defense gets worn down a little then you bring in a guy with that type of quickness and he can open up a ball game for you here's ripping back to throw [Applause] oh dingball she's all over do you notice that she's down there on the sideline i think dingbelt sends plays in sometimes you think that's a real name yeah well it's a good one i mean if you're that proud of it where you wear it on your uh shoulder you have to watch her she's singling in she's singling into plays on this inside the 30 nine more yards collins pepper johnson made the stop i think this is a good wrinkle for the redskins so with all the formations they have and the shift and the motion then they add a no huddle to it i'll tell you that drives defenses crazy and then they bring in a guy like ricky ervins looks like he's trying to get a little oxygen down here you see if he was down there on what need those things are easy to call for coaches and hard to run for players look at ricky irvin's back there he really he's he's in that tail back position bent over just trying to get a little air there he's finally getting up now and he's coming back in the line i think he was happy for that marker because he was getting a little tired he was trying to get one last breath before this ball snapped because it's probably going to be another run to him third and one almost has to be he's the only setback sometimes you can go ram into a pile sometimes you can jump over a pile and if you're ricky ervins you can go under a pile that time he went under the pile he went right under eric howard again no huddle first and ten at the giant 26. off the fingertips of gary clark gary clark he has this mouthpiece in and the minute that he hits the mouthpiece jumps out good pass protection this offensive line of the redskins has been amazing today they've had perfect pass protection and ripon can do stuff like this that was just off gary clark's fingertips but i'll tell you he'll always dive for that balloon tripped up by collins and jackson you know how to tell a running player a pass play watch gary clark if he doesn't put his mouthpiece in it's a running play and he's just going to jog off the line if it's a passing play he's going to put that mouthpiece in now look at him he looks like he's been playing nose tackle today he may be involved in this play it was called over here on gary clark who was on his side in fact i think it was called against gary clark it's like he's getting a little tired he put the mouthpiece on and then he committed a foul he said he couldn't breathe yesterday when he had that mouthpiece in looks like he's having trouble breathing number 84 offense decline fourth down i wonder if they counted putting the mouthpiece in illegal motion look he got stuff hanging off that helmet stuff hanging off that jersey he's going i didn't do it he's a perfectionist though low miller in to try the field goal from 36 yards he made one from this distance earlier he's made another one from 36. this so the redskins increase their lead to 27-10 [Applause] rules here's the redskins and they're no huddle and that's what they call bunch now after bunch they're gonna shift out now after they shift out watch gary clark here he has to set for a second see he didn't set for a second and that's what they called the penalty on if it's motion you can keep going if it's a shift you have to set for a second this will be megan at the one he's down at the 20. you know if you look at what the redskins do about this is their formation they come out in a formation like this then the first thing they do is they will shift and that means movement by as many players as you want to but after they move they have to set for a second so you know that's a ship now after they shift now they can go in motion but only one guy can go in motion the only thing he can't do is move forward so that's what they do they give you a formation a shift and then a motion and you have to defend each one of them they deal in confusion back to throw up the middle caught by he moana into territory the heck of a throw by phil sims brad edwards and copeland were both there bunch of they're both going to read this thing sims throws it out there to zeke moak there is two redskins defenders there he throws it right over him and a perfect pass to moa and a 33-yard gain first down less than four minutes left in the third quarter the redskins lead 27-10 sims again baker and for an nfl update let's send you back to new york once more to greg gumbel all right pat in denver steve sewell from eight yards out has given the broncos a 17-6 lead in the third quarter denver very much in the hunt for the afc western division title pat here at rfk it's 27-10 washington leading [Applause] baker comes wide left ingram goes in motion [Applause] outside to hampton i'd rodney hampton inside the 30 cut down there by mayhew and edwards you know they all do this they all want the ball but watch rodney hampton as he come out there pot pat he's asking for the ball he's clapping out here watch him clap his hands and he puts him out throw away the ball but you know the only thing is he's not the only guy asking for it guys are down field and all over the field doing that thinking here the open guy [Applause] he'll have a giant first down inside the 20. andre collins made the stop now zeke moat just made a big catch and he's going off the field he has some special gloves where on his on his one hand he doesn't have all five fingers he just has four and and what what they did is because he has a bad finger they made special gloves you see it's that left hand he has one two three four fingers so he puts his fourth and fifth finger in one finger hole and that holds them together sims is looking and finds mark ingram in the end zone for a giant touchdown [Applause] if you give phil sims time he can still do it if you don't pass block form or don't get open he can't but if you give him time here he even bought a little time watch him he sees ingram in there right in the middle of that end zone throws a perfect pass where no one can get it bar for the extra point watch 82 mark ingram there this is going to be a delayed thing because sims by sometime seeing him he's waving i got it i got it i got it sim sees him so we had hampton clap and catch it we had ingram wave and catch it they're looking at this one on instant replay it has to be whether sims was over the line i would imagine it has to be because ingram was definitely in as ruled a touchdown it'll stand barr's extra point is good and the lead is cut to ten 27-17 with a minute 40 seconds left third quarter you're watching cbs sports coverage of the national football league at summer all john madden at rfk stadium where the redskins lead the giants by ten bar set to kick off stop by miller let's watch that touchdown again we'll see here's a 20-yard line here the ball's about the 18-yard line so let's see if phil sims went over the line that's what they were looking at they decided no and if we can stop her right when he gets up to that line we can see if we stop it right there that again right here his right foot is right there where the 18 yard line is and that was very very close for the year the giants of heaven i don't think you're picky on them stop by eric howard four yards for bainer it's going to be interesting what happens to phil sims next year you know his contract is up ray hanley if if he is back has has decided that jeff hostetler is going to be his starting quarterback i think the two things is one is does sims want to stay there and two would he be happy being a backup and going through another year like this well he's certainly handled this year with a lot of class it was the toughest thing he had to do was just keep his mouth shut that's miners dorsey that favorite play but i think he's showing here that again if he has time he can still complete passes but the way the situation is with ray hanley as long as he's head coach and everyone is healthy jeff hostetler is going to be his quarterback third down [Applause] and about two and a half yards for a first there's still a place in this league for phil sims i agree midfield that's the end of the third quarter with the score of the redskins 27 the giants 17. our coverage will continue after this message from your local station you're watching the nfl on cbs the redskins 27 the giants 17 as we begin quarter number four at rfk stadium ball right at midfield now they've slowed down to pace a little they've gone back to their huddle three tight ends in two wide receivers reverse fake was really leveled by leonard marshall i believe but he still got the ball to clark i think that's not good that finger that he's holding out like that may not look like much but that's a finger on his passing hand [Applause] gary clark is happy on the other end that was a flea flicker off a fake reverse or it was a fake reverse gary clark run deep one-man pattern that's only his second catch all day pat but it's for 115 yards and two touchdowns blow miller for the point which is good mark griffin might have torn the fingernail off that finger when he was hit by marshall 16th this game summary is sponsored by mcdonald's gary clark two touchdown catches one of 50 yards one of 65. ripon was nine of 19 230 yards three touchdowns two to clark [Applause] let's just watch that touchdown here's gary clark now there's going to be a fake and a fake reverse and a pass and gary clark just runs right down here right through the defense that should never happen even though they get faked but watch him he just runs right through right beyond those two safety and that's a perfect pass by mark rippen but he really did hurt that finger look at that fingernail that used to stick straight out is now sticking perpendicular and then as he did that that hand was just shaking after the thing and he couldn't stop the hand from shaking maybe because he looked at it he started to shake he might be through for the day here's sims back in the pocket now flushed out low hampton for another nfl update let's send you back to our new york studios and greg gumbel again all right pat in denver the cardinals aren't making it easy on the broncos chris chandler to ernie jones watch him step down the sidelines 45 yards for the touchdown late in the third quarter it's a 17-13 denver league meanwhile at san diego miami on the basis of an extra point miss trails san diego the new york jets still alive if miami loses in the playoff hunt pat [Applause] still looking at mark griffin's finger [Applause] and again copeland was out there and now he's playing with his shirttail out although he's trying to get it in but he's starting to look like a linebacker now defense number 58. decline first down look at that copeland he's been all over the place wilbur marshall's had a lot of penalties today but i think if you had to say who was the best defensive player out there i think it has to be danny copeland no question about it today at least he's been back on pass he had interceptions he stopped runs he's been on extra points he's been doing everything jeff rutledge former giant ripons back up warming up on the sideline for the redskins sims to throw it collins was the nearest ripon is still trying to throw you can see him there now they put a a bandaid over that thing to hold that fingernail down and i don't know that it's just that or the fact that how he was hit i would think with a score in the situation now that he's done enough and i don't even think i would put him in anymore even if he says he feels good rutledge is getting loose second and ten hands at their own 40. [Applause] 14 minutes left to play sims incomplete intended for baker mayhew was the nearest defender i think that this has to be a tough situation for the giants having to you know be out of it and then come in here and play at rfk stadium i know that uh ray hanley said they didn't practice in pads all week and they were they were kind of loose and they were loose or kind of lethargic in the pre-game warm-up they played pretty well in the first half and they just seemed to have a tough time sustaining it [Applause] there seems to throw it i'll try to throw man took him down third sack you can't blame that on the offensive line that's sims you see as you're waiting you can't keep creeping up see keeps creeping up and he creeps all the way into charles man's hands that wasn't pass protection that wasn't pass rush that was a quarterback that creeped himself into a sack landed a punt mitchell mitchell to the 35 with a redskins ticket to take over stop by miller it is going to be rutland cbs sports coverage of the national football league is sponsored by mcdonald's getting more for your money that's mcdonald's today sony where imagination and innovation create the ultimate insight and sound and by extra strength generic shampoo with conditioners the dandruff shampoo you can feel working this is mark griffin departing just a moment ago [Applause] i would ask him if he hurts and said everything hurts i think that was smart taking mark ripping out he threw that touchdown pass to gary clark just as he was hit by leonard marshall i think in a follow-through he probably hit the helmet and the fingernail isn't the bad part or the injured part they probably want to take x-rays and make sure that that first knuckle is okay it looked painful oh yeah when that when that fingernail is perpendicular to your finger it's not supposed to go that way that's not the way you normally walk around yeah this offensive line of the redskins has done a heck of a job today and all year they get a little help from their tight ends and their back but these guys are guys that have been there for so long you look at 66 joe jacoby he was a free agent not even drafted i remember when joe gibbs first got him he thought he was a defensive lineman jacoby says no i play offense gibbs told us guys get rid of him i don't need any more offensive linemen and he becomes an all-pro jim lachey in the left that is one of the best offensive linemen in the whole game today two guards have done a heck of a job i wonder if he ever gets tired i don't think so i just think he goes all the time look here's a play that mark ripon got hurt on we're going to see leonard marshall come right up the middle and you're gonna watch the final two of course we know gary clark is going deep we're just watching to see what he hits here you see him follow through and i think what he hit i think he hit marshall's hand i think it was his hand his passing hand following through and hitting a leonard marshall's hand and that even took a little off the ball that's why gary clark had to come back a little bit how come the the kicker is always the closest guy to the heater he never it's always a kicker look at that he's standing right next to the heater there's no one else there's no other out there except a punter and he's going to keep both legs warm both hands warm yeah we know it's warm down there and he has a football that he's going to keep keep that warm because they believe that if they get cold they freeze and they're like kicking rocks they say marshall and this is this is what gary clark does when you're when the run is there that's how he stays warm he just blocks he just blocks defensive backs he stays with him look at that guy his man's not going to make the tackle he is a complete you know i mean of all the wide receivers you know and you're not saying that any of them aren't tough because anyone that plays in this game is but i've always felt this is the toughest guy this is one tough guy third down rutledge let's watch the pass protection here this is what they've had all day we talked about jim lashay being a good pass protector he has to block those linebackers lawrence taylor isn't there anymore but you see how he just gets him and then you get a hold of him then you get him squared up and then you get a little help from your other guy too he is huge yeah i mean he'll he'll fill up a door on you good burn back to punt make it back to field he signals fair catch lets it bounce and it rolls into the end zone they'll bring it back to the 20. exactly 10 minutes left to play 34-17 redskins tis the season to be jolly i think santa's grabbing that guy's ear and santa's telling him what he wants for christmas the other guy's just shaking i think he's already got it already i bet he's got a red devil's reindeer he can't believe it he can't get anyone to listen to him there we go hey who's gonna go shake hands one more time he got up anderson in the game as a running back fast receiver that time for i got music in my head the giants [Applause] you know one guy uh the right guard there schlereth mark ceret that's him number 69 there now the team's the nickname of the hogs his nickname is stinky now you can't beat that for an old guard and he's from alaska that's anderson oh there's old stinky right there what do you do well my name's stinky and i play for the hogs and you can't beat that i'm from alaska that's where the all madden group is now we you know like most people when it gets winter they go south they go to florida and stuff we go up north up by where schloreth lives up in alaska to pick the team he wanted to go to the place with the worst weather he said yeah he could have gone out of high school he could have gone to hawaii or idaho and he chose idaho [Applause] there was no whistle yeah the redskins played that thought there was a whistle but the guy has to be touched down but there also has to be a whistle and they didn't blow the whistle now they're bringing it back and say that he was down but that's not right the guy can be down by contact but you still have to blow the whistle much baker catch the ball here no one touched him there's no whistle so he gets up and goes then the whistle blows later but then they move the ball back that's not right they're going to review that they were wrong they should have let him go where it was he got to the 40. the play is being reviewed it should she will listen here and again the key thing is did a whistle blow watch listen there's a whistle yep so now they're gonna have to give him that yardage it's not where he's down it's where he was down and the whistle blew he's given some signal there and saying it stands as ruled but the giants just lost about five yards there sims back in the pocket and now out of it again flag on the play this time he was over the line of scrimmage well he's had two real close ones today they didn't catch him they didn't penalize him because he was right on the line of scrimmage that time he was over the line of scrimmage the illegal forward pass quarterback beyond the line of scrimmage officer down a five-yard penalty [Applause] 34-17 redskins leading with 8 22 left to play copeland and daryl breed combined to make the tackle after a 19-yard pickup well they haven't thrown much to their tight end or to their second tied in zeke moat and today he's caught a couple of big ones three receptions 65 yards at that four-fingered glove on man you can't drop any with a four-fingered glove first and ten at the 30. [Applause] thanks the guy i think is probably finished for the day he he tried last week and you know that was kind of their last shot when they lost to the eagles they were eliminated he went out and tried today and just couldn't do it i think that lawrence taylor when he's healthy is still one of the top players in this league but as ray hanley says when you get hurt he's just proven that he's human he was a super superstar now he's just a superstar ingram got the feet down a 16-yard pickup and i'll tell you that was an amazing throw by phil sims to hang in there to make this throw this is a throw in the end that shows ingram make the catch both feet are in but phil sims had two guys on him as he threw that ball it's easy to throw the ball when there's no one around but when there's two big guys coming in on you and you can still sip it on a line like that that is amazing that's what you paid a million and a half dollars a year to do they're gonna review that one now [Applause] caught the ball you know both toes are in that was pretty good by ingram i mean pretty good catch that ball and just be able to hold the toes today's game was produced by robert d stinner directed by sandy grossman in the nfl today was produced by eric mann directed by duke strzok the senior producer of the nfl on cbs's ed gordon the executive producer is ted shaker [Applause] just heard a big cheer for for mark griffin coming out of the locker room i'm sure what they did is they went in there and they just wanted to get an x-ray of the thing and make sure that there was nothing broken there dealing with a fingernail that's okay and the x-rays were negative first and goal of the nine now if the x-rays are negative then you can joke about it if the x-rays aren't negative then then everyone takes that worry posture joe gibbs will be happy to see him back there sims back to throw incomplete offensive line is doing a lot better job of pass protection now because sims is getting the thing to get a little more time to throw the ball but what gave them problems uh one time a three-man line they got an inside rush for a man and some blitzes have given him trouble today sims is 23 out of 39 second and goal for mine again he has good protection baker almost made a sensational catch but there's a penalty flag down and sims again almost made a sensational throw the penalty is going to be against the giants but there's a guy holding on his leg when he throws what you hear he has pretty good pass protection no one's open no one's open but look there's a guy in his leg has a hold of his left leg and a guy going to hit him on top and he stands in there and throws that ball i don't care what you say about phil simms he's a tough guy 66 offense still second down still second down penalty call against william roberts second and goal now from the 19 or 20. [Applause] bobby wilson jason buck put the heat on sims for a loss of nine bobby wilson was the number one draft choice of the washington redskins this year they don't have a heck of a lot of draft choices over the years they haven't had a lot of number one draft choices but but he has won you know the interesting thing about the redskins this next year they're going to have two number one draft choices they have their own plus the chargers so they could be the best team in football and get one of the top five college players this year third and goal now at the 28th [Applause] mccaffrey couldn't hang on sims is frustrated i don't know why i mean why couldn't mccaffrey hang on it was right there wise guys can't hang on i mean he's in here and he's fighting and scrapping and i think that he expects the rest of the guys too too fast protection's pretty good there's mccaffrey right there i don't know what i don't know what that is can't throw it any better look goes right through his hands and hits him in the face that's the second time that's happened today that was a frustrated quarterback you can't say anything about it fourth and goal from the 28th five and a half minutes left to play [Applause] sims is gonna come out of there [Applause] and the redskins will take over [Applause] again rutledge will be the quarterback there's jumpy gathers one of those guys that they they got on this defense if you look how this defense is put together there's a lot of free agent plan b guys they've done a heck of a job of putting it together and a heck of a job of coaching it what you were talking about i'll tell you the guy that i'm impressed with is danny copeland these are the plan b defensive starters the two safeties copeland and edwards martin mayhew the starting corner matt millen the middle linebacker and fred stokes are pass rushers so they have five plan b defensive starters and there's the one that's been the most impressive today he really has i think people can learn from watching the redskins and going after plan b by going after young players that are good on special teams that's what ray hanley said he had in mind next year 18 yards see ermans can come in and do that now because the defense is tired i mean the defense is whip they're tired they're beating they're worn down now you can get a fresh guy with good quickness and speed and just outrun them four and a half minutes remain ripping he doesn't know what to do with that right hand does he put some ice on it now you stuck it inside the hand warmer irvines has 80 yards and 11 carries the guys had a busy day wilbur marshall phoenix has gone ahead of denver silver marshall is finally comfortable here in washington when he first came from chicago he just didn't fit in because he was an every down player and wasn't playing every down now they moved him around and he plays every down and he feels like he's a complete linebacker and he in fact he feels the way you ought to evaluate linebackers is how they do in pass coverage how many tackles they have and then sacks not just sacks but i think i think he's right second down spins away from one tackler carl banks pinned him down but the clock runs after a yard pickup jeff hoster of course has that back injury and he's out for the season lawrence taylor i would think probably won't play in that final game now and we'll just rest that knee and it'll be interesting whether he's back with a giant there was speculation this week in new york that they ought to get rid of sims and and taylor to become ray hanley's team and i don't know that ray hanley believes that nor i don't think so well i think that i believe that i think you know you have to make some changes you have to improve but i don't think those two guys were the problems for what happened to the giants this year here's rutledge clark good throw by rutledge san diego has scored again 38-30 they leave miami if san diego continues like that it lets the new york jets still stay alive with a chance to play they play miami next week and they probably shouldn't be they ought to just go with with one less i mean if you can't beat new england and you can't beat the charges you don't belong in any playoffs it's just like these guys if the giant if they can't beat cincinnati they can't beat philadelphia they don't belong a playoff you ought to have to win to get there for not much two-minute warning coming up the redskins leading 34-17 two minutes left at rfk stadium the final regular season game of the year here [Music] two minutes left at rfk stadium with the redskins leading the giants 34-17 pat sumrall with john madden john and i'll be traveling north scout out the site of the super bowl next saturday the vikings and the packers well you got to check the building out yeah it's going to be played there we got to check minneapolis out we got to check out the the stadium the field the boat the locker room the hotel yeah the hotels the benches make sure the guys all have a place to sit to play in the super bowl no heaters get everything straightened out kind of kick the tires you know what i mean yeah don't let the air out just kick them no you know make sure the roof's strong enough so if it snows and holds everything up rigs again look at gary clark there he's there picking up pieces now guys get hit and pieces knocked off clark just goes and picks him up sticks them in his pants and that guy has every equipment there is look he has elbow pads wrist pads he has a mouthpiece he has a towel he has stuff stuck in his pants he has gloves he has dirt he has mud i mean whatever there is on that football field and in that equipment room gary clark has it and what he just stuck in his pants i have no idea i think i think it was a glove but i'm not sure he also has pretty good stats he only caught three passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns that is a glove he stole someone's club it's a street move he has two of his own he stuck someone else's in there maybe it was a gift no no no no he copped it off another guy he's gonna take something extra home with him i told him about sending a sweatshirt yesterday you don't have to start picking up guys equipment during the game irving's back in the backfield now there's rutledge back to throw that's complete for first down to ricky sanders and the clock continues to run minute and a half left that looks like a guy who's doing some contemplating serious contemplating over knowing at one time you were the best in the game and you're probably the best that ever played your position it ain't what it used to was but you're still pretty darn good so is he just let things run out now we have less than a minute left first down lets them do that giants down to one timeout ray hanley cannot have a winning season this game is presented by authority of the national football league and the cbs telecast is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcasts or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of cbs the washington redskins and the national football league is prohibited that should do it [Applause] no gibbs has
