00:00:00Same years he had as a Colts receiver, but now guiding the Patriots and hopefully at the end of the day
00:00:05He hopes his team's in first place. Tony Franklin kicks it away
00:00:10This is Albert Bentley at the three
00:00:14Bentley, a flag is down as Bentley gets out to the 28
00:00:20Ed Reynolds in on the tackle on special teams after a 25-yard return
00:00:24but this flag will go against the Colts to start off the ballgame and
00:00:28Mike Pagel will start a quarterback for 59 on the return
00:00:35Penalty whistled against Orlando Lowry
00:00:37But Mike Pagel will be the starting quarterback the rest of the year Matt Kofler got the start last week had a bad game
00:00:43So now it's Pagel not exactly the way limit the Colts are envisioned getting started here today
00:00:50Ten yard line
00:00:51Milne and Wosley, Matt Bouza off the injured reserve list, the wide receiver with Wayne Capers and Pat Beach the tight end
00:00:58They will try to run left behind Chris Hinton and Ben Hutt, Ray Donaldson a solid center, Solt and Bulbush Wilde
00:01:05They start with two tight ends when they do start, it's taking them a while, Pat Beach and Mark Boyer will both be in their first
00:01:13alignment
00:01:15That's because they are starting deep in their own territory, they will begin this game at the 8
00:01:22That's Boyer, moving over to the far side
00:01:28Now to the near side
00:01:32Straight ahead Randy McMillan with good running room out to the 15 and they hope that they can control the game on the ground
00:01:39That is their game plan against the Patriots defense
00:01:41Of course the solid front three, Ken Sims the top tackler against the Jets, Julie Adams three sacks in the overtime loss in New York
00:01:49Of course their fine linebacker Andre Tippett leading the AFC with 13 and a half sacks with Nelson McGrew Blackman
00:01:56The defensive backs has started every game as a unit this year, Lippitt, Claiborne, James and Fred Marion with his 6th and 7th
00:02:06From the 14, this is a second and four, Bagel to throw and looking deep for Capers
00:02:14And
00:02:15Couldn't hold on, Raven Claiborne was with him, but Bagel looking very un-conservative
00:02:21On second down and Claiborne shaking his head
00:02:25Claiborne saying why me, why me, but Raymond Claiborne having an all pro type year, Len here doing an excellent job running
00:02:31stride for stride with Wayne Capers. Capers by the way has a lot of speed and is a legitimate home run threat
00:02:37I think the value of that play early on here Len
00:02:39Even though it wasn't completed shows a Patriot defense that the Colts are going to come out and not ding-ding them on the shortstop
00:02:45underneath all day long
00:02:48Perhaps Mike Bagel signaling third down, third and four. He has three wide receivers in the lineup
00:02:57Looking over the middle, he's got him for a first down to George Wansley
00:03:02Wansley the halfback was lined up as a wide receiver to the far side and Bagel completes it for Colts first down
00:03:09Wansley has been a pleasant surprise all year long in his first game this year
00:03:14He had 170 yards rushing in his first start
00:03:16He's also an excellent receiver having caught 24 balls this year and he has an AFC leading 5.2 yard average carry
00:03:24That was a 13 yard pickup so little Wansley go out to the far side again as a running back first down at the 27
00:03:32the pitch to McMillan
00:03:35McMillan fights to the 32. So the Colts are moving the ball and they have struggled offensively
00:03:43Then this is going to be an important matchup today what the Colts do best is run the ball
00:03:47Unfortunately for them the Patriot defense is very stingy against the run led many times by number 57
00:03:52You'll see here Steve Nelson getting taken out of this play on this particular time by guard Ron Solt
00:03:57But Steve Nelson is going to make a lot of tackles today. He is the heart and soul and brains of that Patriot defense
00:04:03Second and five for the Colts at the 32. First possession of the football game trying to break a four-game losing streak
00:04:13Pagel
00:04:15Tipped and intercepted by Roland James
00:04:18James at the 35 and James down to the 30
00:04:23Pagel threw that ball right on the money bounced off of Capers James gathered it in for his fourth
00:04:30Interception of the year. That's the kind of mistake the Colts cannot afford to make you see Pagel going back here
00:04:36Capers is doing a little hook pattern to the inside wide open
00:04:39Right on the numbers
00:04:40I think it bounced off his shoulder pad
00:04:42Deep in their own territory if the Colts are going to hang with the Patriots today
00:04:46Then they cannot afford that type of turnover and now Tony Eason and the New England Patriots will start at the Colts 36
00:04:54Can Tony Eason do the job?
00:04:57The placing Steve Grogan. Grogan is here by the way on crutches. He is here as an inspiration to his teammates
00:05:06The fake and the misdirection to Tony Collins and Collins fights to the 29
00:05:15So the offense
00:05:17Tony Eason with Craig James and Collins
00:05:19Stanley Morgan. Stefan Starring is starting in place of Irving Friar who has a calf bruise. Lynn Dawson is the tight end
00:05:25Offensive line changes there as well. John Hanna is starting with a shoulder injury. Guy Morris is starting
00:05:31But Pete Block is here and healthy and Paul Fairchild starts a right guard for the injured
00:05:39Paul the second and eight of the 29
00:05:43Craig James with running room and James out of bounds and takes a photographer with him on the near side
00:05:49A
00:05:50Good lead block that time for Craig James and the good league block by number 33 Tony Collins
00:05:55And as this year has progressed Collins has been getting the ball less and less Craig James getting the bulk of the ball carrying responsibilities
00:06:02Part in reason because Tony Collins is a better blocker Lynn front three for the Colts not their strong suit
00:06:08Thompson white and Scott their strong suit is the linebackers the first round picked Wayne Bickett the veteran Barry Krause with Cliff Odom and Johnny Cooks
00:06:16Defensive backs have done. Well, Eugene Daniel has six interceptions
00:06:21Preston Davis Glasgow Anthony Young to tight end alignment for the Patriots our third and one at the 22
00:06:28defense
00:06:31Gives the Patriots a first down
00:06:32He is normally the third and one man and to Tupu delivers as we have a little scuffle breakout between Cliff Odom and Lynn Dawson
00:06:41Mostly to Tupu what a tremendous short yardage name that is it has a ring to it
00:06:46To Tupu one of the better short yardage carriers in the league and he has a three point eight yard
00:06:52Per carry average taking a look at at Steve Grogan there
00:06:56It's I think it's important to the Patriots land that his presence be here
00:06:59Even though he's not going to be suited up today his his brain his leadership
00:07:02I think is very valuable for the Patriots at this time two screws in the bone looking at damage
00:07:08Probably out for the rest of the season pitch back to great James first down
00:07:13James turns the corner to the 15
00:07:16Borey's run out of bounds by Anthony Young the free safety
00:07:19You saw there again what I was talking about a moment ago Craig James getting the bulk of the ball carrying this year and
00:07:25That leaves Tony Collins as his blocking halfback
00:07:28Craig James is quite a capable player, but Tony Collins is a fine blocker
00:07:32Mason is certainly read and heard all kinds of criticism
00:07:36And he says he's learned not to let things bother him Rogan helped on that respect you can imagine
00:07:43Tony had a stand idly and watch broken the way broken had a watch season
00:07:48second and seven at the 16
00:07:51Tony Collins
00:07:53Busted inside the five. I don't believe we just saw Lynn
00:07:56We saw Stefan starring at quarterback doing the option pitcher a little different wrinkle
00:08:05Take a look at the quarterback here is lo and behold number 81. Can that be stitching out starring?
00:08:12And he gets it to Tony Collins
00:08:16Earlier in the season coach Raymond Barry was criticized for being a bit on the conservative side. That's certainly not conservative
00:08:24Starring played some quarterback in college at McNeese State, so he knows how to run a wishbone. He did at that time
00:08:30That may be about to change that's consistent first and goal for the Patriots
00:08:36He's since the quarterback now
00:08:41It's back to Robert Weathers who was stopped short of the goal on
00:08:46This was all set up by a Roland James interception of a Mike Pagel pass on the first cold series
00:08:53Patriots took over in good position at the 31 and have now
00:08:56Driven down to as you see within inches of the goal line with a little razzle-dazzle in between Stefan starring
00:09:02Playing a quarterback on the wishbone option
00:09:06That's right. Totally unexpected
00:09:08And as we said
00:09:08This is exactly what the Colts could not afford to do turn the ball over deep in their own territory early in this bargain
00:09:15Second and goal
00:09:18This is Robert Weathers and mostly to keep Greg Hawthorne. You've seen a lineup as well
00:09:23It's a two-two up but not over the Colts hold on second down
00:09:29And running away with the ball is Anthony young
00:09:32But it's whistled there
00:09:35There was nothing there over the top that time
00:09:38Brad white Chris Scott dug in there Barry Krause cliff out of meeting him over the top
00:09:45I'm gonna take a look at the Colts defensive line down under and Cliff Odom making a spectacular
00:09:51Tackle stopping him short just no room to run and the ball did come out before it's a two-two hit the ground
00:09:57But the official must have ruled the forward momentum was stopped
00:10:01Therefore no fumble third and inches
00:10:17Flag is dropped for too much time
00:10:22The noise
00:10:23Level had increased and the Patriots did practice with extra noise in Foxborough
00:10:29Because of the dome here and the one in Seattle
00:10:31They imported some crowd noise from the NBC station WBZ in Boston brought the crowd noise to practice
00:10:39Just for this kind of instance and apparently the crowd noise at practice did not help 30 seconds ran off the clock five yard penalty
00:10:46So it'll be third and five instead of third and goal
00:10:50Unbelievable place to let that happen. I don't think when they had much to do with the contract
00:10:54They did not pay attention
00:10:58Crowd making noise the 32nd clock is all the way down to seven
00:11:05Thirty second clock is down to two decent throwing touchdown to Irving Friar
00:11:11So the business with Friar not starting and starring in his place was obviously a ruse for that trick wishbone play
00:11:18Starring back in the lineup gets the touchdown his sixth receiving this year
00:11:24The Colts had an all-out blitz on here
00:11:26You can't see it in the screen
00:11:27But the safeties came inside linebackers came leaving the inside of the field wide open and just an awful lot to ask of coverage
00:11:34in that situation
00:11:34I think it may have been an audible here because he checked off saw the blitz saw the inside
00:11:39Center field wide open a little simple inside cut for a touchdown
00:11:44Tony Franklin the barefooted kicker has only missed one extra point attempt this year
00:11:51And he doesn't miss one here either
00:11:53So the interception sets up an 8 play 31 yard drive with 920 remaining in the first quarter
00:12:00Eason and company lead at 7-0
00:12:03Three weeks ago in Foxborough when the Patriots beat the Colts 34-15
00:12:07It was the Colts turnovers three interceptions two fumble recoveries and as Tony Franklin gets set to kick it away again
00:12:13it's the turnover again the interception of a ball that should have been caught by Wayne capers Roland James picked it off and
00:12:21Consequently the Patriots lead a 7-0. That's right. Then and that's exactly what the Colts cannot afford to do
00:12:27If they're gonna play competitively with the Patriots
00:12:28They've got to play air free ball and play it close to the best and not make those kinds of mistakes
00:12:33Where is the shoe hidden this week?
00:12:37Franklin with those short kickoffs of his
00:12:40That's taken by the up man Oliver Williams and a good special teams tackle turned in by Derwin Williams
00:12:46It runs off the field fist in the air the kid got the job done. You know, that was an unusual kick
00:12:52It was relatively short and very high much like a punch and Derwin Williams with that superior speed got down there almost as quickly as a ball
00:13:00So the Colts quickly trailing early in the game 7-0
00:13:04We'll start at their 18, that was the drive that gave the Patriots the lead
00:13:10Took New England three minutes and 19 seconds. He sent a fryer finished it off
00:13:14Then this is a very important drive for the Colts. Once again, they have bad field position. They've got to get something done here
00:13:21First down at the 18
00:13:26Wansley in motion bagel wants to throw again goes to McMillan
00:13:3435 a big gainer
00:13:38So big game for McMillan, but now let's go to the man of the hour Ahmad Rashad NFL 85 last we checked
00:13:46We have to give him some lessons
00:13:49Congratulations to Ahmad Rashad
00:13:51Engagement announcement first down for the Colts at the 35
00:13:55Wansley
00:13:56Good defense is the Patriots stop it for no gain
00:14:00Owens and Claiborne
00:14:03And on the action fine play that time by the strong safety of Roland James
00:14:07Came in got good penetration beat the block of Randy McMillan
00:14:10didn't make the tackle but forced it to go wider and deeper than he wanted to this telecast presented by authority of the National Football
00:14:16League intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the Indianapolis
00:14:23Colts in the National Football League is prohibited
00:14:27Second and ten for Indianapolis
00:14:30And they're out there
00:14:32Seven nothing not yet midway first quarter
00:14:36bagel completing to an open tight end Pat Beach
00:14:40Out of bounds at the 41 pickup of six covered by Don Blackman the outside linebacker
00:14:45So bagels throwing very well, Bob. He is and the interception earlier was not his fault
00:14:50Actually, I was very impressed by these Patriot linebackers. You see Andre Tippett here doing what he does best rush the quarterback
00:14:57Saying to Randy McMillan. Hey get out of here kid
00:15:00Now Pat Beach watch his little shoulder here continue to run the camera there
00:15:03We can see Beach is already out of bounds and he just flips. That's Ron Blackman
00:15:09Third and fourth the 41 for Pagle
00:15:16Lag is thrown
00:15:18Big Christian in the left tackle saw Julie Adams moving couldn't react and moved himself. I'll start 75 offense
00:15:27Good eyes
00:15:28Chris Hinton the man it takes a lot of discipline for an offensive lineman
00:15:32Len right then he knew the count was on two
00:15:34But when Julie Adams jumped on on one coming right at him going from about two feet away to six inches away
00:15:40It's hard to maintain your composure and stand still I can imagine
00:15:47Hinton the second-year third-year player now out of Northwestern. He was involved in that John Elway
00:15:51Do you remember Elway didn't want to play for the Colts?
00:15:54Hinton came to Indianapolis then Baltimore as a result out of the shotgun third and nine for 36
00:16:00Julie Adams may be offside, but no flag
00:16:04Pagle
00:16:05Render is there as he tried to complete it to Albert Bentley
00:16:09So now as Pagle and Julie Adams
00:16:13Have a few words. I
00:16:15Don't see a flag Glenn. That was another good pass. By the way, he had the ball on the money
00:16:19It wasn't the coverage was excellent
00:16:22Pagle puts the ball the only work where it could be caught here low and inside
00:16:27but the coverage was excellent by Johnny Rembert and the ball should have been caught Pagle's right on the mark so far today Lynn and
00:16:33The fact that the Colts haven't been able to stay in a drive is not his fault
00:16:39Here Ron Stark
00:16:41One of the best hunters in the history of the National Football League
00:16:45Stephen starring is deep New England
00:16:52That
00:16:55Start the punt of the way now, it's Irving flyer
00:16:59This one
00:17:01As it goes deep and through the end zone so stark can really put him away
00:17:0764 yard punt three more
00:17:10Punts and he will be the all-time hunting leader in the history of the NFL
00:17:15Take a look at arguably the best punter in the history of this sport
00:17:19You're gonna see Ron Stark just get everything this ball. Let this ball travels
00:17:2374 yards in the air it comes down on the goal line
00:17:26He's got the follow-through tremendous college athlete
00:17:29And as you said, he only needs four punts today to qualify as the all-time kicking leader in the history of this league
00:17:34He needs 300 punts and he would surpass Sammy ball
00:17:37I was not only a great quarterback, but a great punter Stark would be number one all time first down at the 20
00:17:43Tony Collins out to the 34
00:17:49Stopped by Barry Krause the veteran
00:17:51It's interesting to know with Barry Krause and Nesbitt Glasgow both with this club seven years and they're the old-timers
00:17:56That's how young the Colts team is
00:17:58Seven years with a club and you're the old-timer Barry Krause in seven years has had four head coaches plus an interim coach
00:18:05I believe that's right one game last year Hal Hunter the last game of the season, by the way
00:18:09He's very happy with the prison
00:18:12Really appreciating right now
00:18:15Second and six of the 24
00:18:18Collins again
00:18:20Collins bounces off one would-be tackler and gets out to the 28 before it's Barry Krause once again and on the tack
00:18:28We have seven minutes and 15 seconds remaining first quarter at the Hoosier Dome the Patriots
00:18:34Thanks to a Roland James interception and an urban crier six-yard touchdown catch from Tony Eason
00:18:39Lead it seven nothing the Patriots now have a third and two at the 28
00:18:44Then we've got an interesting matchup today a big John Hanna who many consider the final star to play this game is going against his old Alabama mate, Barry Krause
00:18:55Three wide receivers out of a shotgun Eason
00:18:59And there's a whistle this
00:19:02Throw is to Craig James. I believe the play was whistled dead before
00:19:07ball start
00:19:08left tackle nullifies the play
00:19:12Though that completion to James wipe it off Brian Holloway was the man whistled for the infraction
00:19:19ball start left tackle
00:19:22Automatically nullifies the play still third down Bob McElwee our referee today making that call
00:19:29Boy, have I heard that call often, you know Bob Holloway one of the premier Brian
00:19:33How I want a premier tackles offensive tackles in this league. We probably won't call his name all day today except for this
00:19:40The illegal motion penalty so the third and seventh at 22
00:19:45The Colts have six defensive backs in the lineup and Eason operates from the shotgun again
00:19:53Going out to James and the Colts defense holds and that brings the crowd to life
00:19:59Anthony young making the stop on the far side and the Patriots for the first time will have to find
00:20:06Some fine defense but by the Indianapolis Colts here Len
00:20:09They needed to hold the Patriots deep in their own territory. You see Anthony young here coming up from his free safety spot
00:20:15Not getting a tackle but forcing Craig James to go out of bounds far short of the required yardage
00:20:22Anthony young Lynn has been a pleasant surprise
00:20:24Coming as a number three draft choice this year in the draft playing some good solid free safety for these folks
00:20:30Which Camarillo second to start?
00:20:35Conference hunters Robbie Martin is deep to the polls
00:20:38The rush was on it was blocked the first block this year against Camarillo
00:20:42And the ball is spinning and recovered at the 40 and that's where the Colts will take over
00:20:49Orlando Lowry
00:20:52So the punt is blocked officially it will not go down as a block punt because the ball did go forward
00:20:59But unofficially this is a block of Camarillo and the rush was on
00:21:03Turned in by Dave Aarons who gets the big piece of it right here
00:21:07Dave Aarons gets his right hand on the ball just enough to block it
00:21:11solid contact made there big play the Colts are in positive territory on the
00:21:16Patriot 39 yard line
00:21:18So the punting game giving the Patriots trouble the punt return cost them in overtime last week against the Jets and here
00:21:25the partially blocked punt first down for the Colts of the 39
00:21:29Boy are in motion. Here's McMillan
00:21:3435 McMillan to the 31
00:21:38The Colts have come alive and downfield some pushing and shoving and a flag is thrown
00:21:44Matt Pousa got into it with Ronnie Lippitt
00:21:50Personal foul unnecessary roughness number 42 defense it goes against Ronnie Lippitt
00:21:57Ronnie Lippitt is often maligned man. He's a little guy and playing opposite Raymond Claiborne
00:22:03he's the man that many of the opposing teams go after and work on and what he's doing here probably is trying to
00:22:09Establish himself as a as an excellent defender and also as a man. He's not he's a little guy
00:22:13He's not about to take any lip or any physical abuse from the opponents and it's important that he establish himself
00:22:20Unfortunately, he went a little bit too far this time lip it one of the many players in this game three on each squad
00:22:26Who come from the University of Miami?
00:22:28I know the hurricane fans watching today and they had the big win over Notre Dame
00:22:34Florida and the Miami area as well and
00:22:37Many ex-hurricanes in the lineup this afternoon. So this moves it all the way down
00:22:43To the 17 first down for the Colts
00:22:46Who's in motion McMillan the draw McMillan hurdles and out-of-bounds
00:22:58So that partially blocked punt has inspired the Colts as they look for the time touchdown
00:23:04There's someone at a broken play land
00:23:06There's a little collision between the quarterback and the ball carrier McMillan starting to go the wrong way
00:23:10But once he gets off to the bad start he does not too bad making up
00:23:13Randy McMillan has superior speed for a fullback in this like a big strong back at one of the few fullbacks
00:23:18It has the ability to go wide
00:23:21It must have been a hurdler in high school
00:23:24Went to college in Pittsburgh gained only 36 yards and they were lost to Kansas City last week
00:23:30Come alive today 30 yards already in four carries first and goal at the five
00:23:35with five minutes remaining first quarter
00:23:43Pleading to Boyer
00:23:45Just short of the goal line
00:23:49Rookie ninth round draft choice and Pagel shows you how far away from USC
00:23:53Mark Boyer looking for his first pro touchdown came up inches short
00:23:58I'm impressed with Mike Pagel so far
00:24:01Nice ball nice throw here putting it on the upfield side away from the defender
00:24:06Raymond Claiborne doing all he can do is knock him out on the one-half yard line
00:24:10Mike Pagel has been impressive so far thing about Pagel is he is four for seven, but at least two drops one of them
00:24:18The interception, that's right
00:24:20second and inches for the Colts
00:24:23McMillan
00:24:26Stopped just short and you see the action in there was he hit Larry McGrew came through and put the leather on him
00:24:33So
00:24:35Just as the Patriots were faced with third and inches earlier before the delay of game penalty
00:24:40Now the Colts will have third and inches with four and a half minutes remaining in the first quarter Patriots lead at 7-0
00:24:46I'll tell you Lynn the public the fans have have no idea how tough it is down inside the one and two yard line
00:24:52There's just a lot of heavy hitting going on. It's just not much fun down here. It's awfully tough
00:24:58Will it be McMillan
00:25:01Yes, McMillan fights and he gets in on the second effort
00:25:22Initially McMillan was stopped
00:25:23But he keeps kept spinning and moving and eventually spun away for the touchdown
00:25:28That's right
00:25:29As you said second effort by Randy McMillan's the same play that Larry McGrew stopped last time there you see number 15 the center of
00:25:34Your screen stopping him temporarily, but the second ever he spun to the inside
00:25:38That was the same play that McGrew did an excellent job of stopping last time
00:25:42Same play again another look from the end zone here. There's a hit by McGrew
00:25:46Good
00:25:49Legs make by Randy McMillan the second effort got this touchdown
00:25:52Millon's fourth touchdown of the year Raul Allegre goes for the time
00:25:58He's got it and
00:26:00So the partially blocked punt the unnecessary roughness penalty against Ronnie Lippitt half-yard touchdown run by this man
00:26:08Randy McMillan the game is time
00:26:1045
00:26:12Thousand yesterday he needed it. Yeah, I think the first hole today is worth a hundred thousand the skins game
00:26:19Allegre kicks it away to 7-7 Colts and Patriots starring brings it out of there
00:26:27Starring gets across the 20 and fights to the 25 so he made the right choice, so
00:26:32Let's go to Ahmad Rashad at NFL 85 and he has another update for us on today's action around the NFL
00:26:38Rolling sevens today 7-7 there 7-7 here first down at the 25 for the Patriots inside of four minutes remaining
00:26:53No
00:26:56Ramsey who was not
00:26:59Steve Brogan's favorite receiver
00:27:00But clicked with Tony Eason last year and now that he sends back Ramsey thought he'd get a lot more balls thrown in his direction
00:27:08Now well, he had one thrown there and drop it boss should have been caught. It wasn't a perfect pass
00:27:13Lenna was a little bit behind Derek Ramsey, but boss should have been caught and had he caught it
00:27:17He had to open field to as you say Derek Ramsey is perhaps Tony Eason's favorite receiver
00:27:25Second down at the 25
00:27:27Oh
00:27:35Rolling along for Ramsey
00:27:38Eason was forced to scramble Anthony Young covering along with Nesbitt Glasgow putting the pressure on Eason
00:27:47The Colts employed a safety blitz with Nesbitt Glasgow come you take a look at John Hanna here doing what he does so very well
00:27:53Pass protect against number 91 Byron Smith. That's not exactly the way they draw it up land, but it was effective
00:28:01He's been forced to scramble did not eat the ball
00:28:06Now those quarterback ratings are awfully deceptive
00:28:10When you eat the ball and take a long sack, it doesn't count in those statistics and you throw the ball away for the completion
00:28:16It does
00:28:18She was shotgun
00:28:22Throwing
00:28:23completing
00:28:25For a first down to Stefan starring with a former Patriot Preston Davis covering
00:28:30This is a beautiful execution here not only by the quarterback
00:28:33But also by the receiver seven starring you take a look at the Colt secondary four across the backing up giving off
00:28:38You're gonna see Stefan starring driving hard cutting the ball is already in the air
00:28:43The ball was thrown before the cut was made not bad coverage
00:28:47But when you have the timing between your quarterback and receiver that they show that there's not much you can do about it
00:28:5215 yard pickup. I mean that's a three minutes remaining
00:28:57First down for the Patriots at their 40
00:29:04There's Ramsey he's got one pick up a five covered by the veteran Nesbitt Glasgow
00:29:11So Ramsey his 23rd reception of the year first of the game Tony Eason
00:29:17Nesbitt Glasgow is going to have a busy day today covering Derek Ramsey as we said a little while ago
00:29:22Ramsey is Eason's favorite receiver and
00:29:24Tony likes to go to Derek Ramsey underneath the zones quite a bit also to his halfback Tony Collins coming out of the backfield
00:29:30So it could be a long day for Nesbitt Glasgow. He's up to the challenge. He's one of the better safeties in the league
00:29:36second and five at the 45
00:29:38Oh
00:29:44Nearly sort of a first down up to the 48
00:29:48No score in Pittsburgh a second quarter already there as we heard rounds and Giants tied it's an old rivalry
00:29:56Cincinnati now is up to the 14-nothing
00:29:59That could really put Houston way out of the race Philadelphia with that 10-point lead over, Minnesota second quarter there in New Orleans
00:30:05There's a surprise that is with from Philip Sunway to the controls the battle of the Bays scores
00:30:14Call us a third and two for New England at the 48 important play right here
00:30:19And completing to Friar for another New England first down
00:30:24Davis covering so we mentioned earlier which Tony Eason would we see the tentative one the aggressive one
00:30:31Which have we seen so far? He's impressive. Although he hasn't gone downtown
00:30:34He's throwing the outs of quick outs as you see the Friar here, but his timing has been right on
00:30:39No one in the fire, but Stefan starring as well. So Tony's performing well so far today
00:30:43What he's going to have to do eventually is go over the top
00:30:48Short stuff right now and eventually other protocol defense up in fact, we'll go downtown
00:30:55James
00:30:59Barry Krause again
00:31:02He was one of the Colts who was there Colts have a good linebacking corps as we mentioned earlier
00:31:07They sure do taking a look at them right here Cliff Odom and Barry Krause
00:31:11Very renewing acquaintances with John Hannah and Paul Fairchild. They're getting blocked by Fairchild, but fighting through the block getting involved in the play
00:31:19The whole linebackers are the backbone of this
00:31:25Second and nine at the 43 of Indianapolis
00:31:32So Morgan and Stanley Morgan has a first down inside the 25
00:31:36So working against Preston Davis the left cornerback Eason is using all of his receivers
00:31:42He sure is that was just a quick slant a little eye cut to jugs Morgan
00:31:47And I've covered the Patriots three times this year land
00:31:50And I must say that I've seen Stanley Morgan make some unbelievable catches. I you know over the years playing against him
00:31:56You see taking a look at
00:31:59At Steve Drogan on the sideline there, you know, he's not playing a small part in today's offensive judge Morgan
00:32:04It's just a very impressive receiver. We'll talk more about him later
00:32:07That was his first reception since three weeks ago. He's had hamstring problems
00:32:11first down at the 26
00:32:13James
00:32:16Out of bounds of the 24 pick up up to Cliff Odom, you know
00:32:19One of the linebackers Dwayne Bickett for the Colts
00:32:22His teammates got him in that old free turkey ruse that the veterans like to pull on the rookies
00:32:28they put a sign up on the locker room wall free turkeys and
00:32:32Bickett fell for it hook line and sinker went to the non-existent supermarket and found out that the turkey was him
00:32:37But there is a nice ending to the story his roommate Matt Kofler had bought a turkey. It was in the refrigerator
00:32:43So Bickett had a bird for his family when they came to visit. Well, all's well that ends well, and that is something all the teams
00:32:50I think across the league play this trick in Miami
00:32:52At least they have a legitimate supermarket and the veterans have to put on like there's a free turkey
00:32:57He especially loved to get a number one draft test because he's made these
00:33:05And now
00:33:10Clock is restarted
00:33:11There are 19 seconds remaining in the first quarter
00:33:15This is a second and eight at the 48 and now the officials will confer
00:33:22Cliff Odom came out a moment ago. They're taking a look at his fingers
00:33:29The clock is correct. All right talking about that turkey fly that's played this year and in
00:33:36Indianapolis here they got their number one draft choice Dwayne Bickett
00:33:38That's an especially sweet prize because you like to really trick your number one, but in Miami we did the same thing and they
00:33:45Over the years they've gotten some good ones
00:33:47Some fights have been caused because the rookies go then demand their turkey better in linebacker
00:33:51Cliff Odom going to the locker room. They're gonna check his hand 19 seconds left in the quarter second and eight at the 48
00:33:57Swings it out to Collins
00:33:59Picks it up goes with it
00:34:00The reason he was able to pick up and go with it was that was a backwards pass a lateral and I saw a game
00:34:06A couple of weeks ago in Cincinnati. We're just in that situation
00:34:09They're running back just dropped it let it drop and it was a recovery for the other team
00:34:13So this is not an incompletion. This is a backward pass or a lateral he can pick it up and go with it
00:34:17That's correct
00:34:18And the Patriots were very fortunate here and heads-up play by Tony Collins to go after this ball because it definitely was a lateral
00:34:24So 15 minutes are done the Colts and the Patriots tied
00:34:297-7 we'll be back with the second quarter
00:34:32They did not but as we start the second quarter the Patriots faced with a firm 11 at the court
00:34:3927 he sent out of the shotgun
00:34:44The flag is down he's been throwing and overthrowing step and starring made a cut
00:34:51But he's sent through it over his head
00:34:54Donnell Thompson may have come across a little bit early there then unless he was drawn
00:34:59And it goes against the Colts and that's a critical mistake
00:35:02Because the Colts would have stopped the Patriots there on third down, but now New England will get another shot offside
00:35:08defensive left and
00:35:10still third down
00:35:14So our statistics
00:35:17Well, they're pretty even except for time of possession the Patriots 10 minutes to the Colts five minutes
00:35:22But our score is even 7-7 and that's the only one that counts
00:35:30Love Dauhauer
00:35:31Checking the charts to see what his defense has here for a third and six against Raymond Barry's offense see Tom Ramsey
00:35:38back up quarterback
00:35:41Over there as well
00:35:47Completing but short of a first down I believe it depends where they market to step in starring
00:35:53Eugene Daniel the good coverage over there the second year man from LSU. There is an unsung excellent cornerback
00:36:00In the NFL Eugene Daniel, you're right. That was excellent coverage by Eugene Daniel
00:36:05He's having a banner year 59 tackles going into today's ballgame and six interceptions. He's playing good
00:36:11aggressive football for these Indianapolis Colts
00:36:13So Tony Franklin will have the ball spotted for him by Tony Eason at the 25
00:36:19So this will be a 35-yard attempt
00:36:2616 of 20
00:36:30This one the barefooted kicker had it high and true
00:36:34So in the opening minute of the second quarter a
00:36:3835-yard field goal by Tony Franklin and a New England Patriots have grabbed a quick 10-7 lead
00:36:45Opening minute of the second quarter Mike Pagel statistics the one interception not his fault. You notice pregame meal is Bob
00:36:52No, tell me well, I'm about to tell you for each game eight pieces of toast covered with sour cream
00:36:58How's that sour cream? You know the reason he says that soaks up the acid from his nerves
00:37:04What was your priority Tony Franklin kicks the way and we'll find out the burning question in a moment what your pregame meal was
00:37:10This is Robbie Martin
00:37:13And Martin grabbed by Jim Bowman on a fine tackle at the 15
00:37:19Jim Bowman playing a lot of good special teams for Patriots this year a rookie draft choice and doing a good job
00:37:24He's also their nickelback in the nickel package and your your pregame meal was anything. It didn't run away from me
00:37:31But you know when you're three and nine you better eat a lot of sour cream you have a lot of acid
00:37:38Okay, one minute into the second quarter the Patriots lead the Colts
00:37:4310-7 but Pagel has looked sharp passive. He is not a crowd favorite in Indianapolis. That's just a very frank assessment
00:37:51Crowd is down on him, but he's looked fairly sharp today
00:37:57That's Wansley in motion
00:38:01And didn't look sharp on that one as he and Wansley did not connect
00:38:05Wansley broke the pattern off a little bit prematurely there a little bit mix-up on either your receiver or your
00:38:11Quarterback and actually it wasn't a bad throw by Pagel
00:38:15Wansley was very well covered and Pagel threw it high and outside if it wasn't to be caught by his team
00:38:20It wasn't gonna be caught at all Pittsburgh the field goal lead their Cincinnati doing a job on Houston
00:38:25I love Cincinnati's offense, but there are times you wonder where it's gone today, Philadelphia
00:38:3010 over, Minnesota Green Bay leads
00:38:34So second and 10 for the Colts at the 16
00:38:41Wansley on the misdirection, but Blackman and McGrew both the linebackers were there were not faked out at all
00:38:48That'll be a loss
00:38:49This is a superior New England Patriot defense
00:38:52They're especially tough against the run a passing situation here, but they smell this draw play out
00:38:57Gonna see Steve Nelson they're waiting on it along with Don Blackman and yet another Larry McGrew nowhere to run
00:39:04and a loss of two
00:39:06so this is a
00:39:08Play which the defense loves third and 12 when the offense is backed up to its 14
00:39:14Will they be coming at Pagel or will they lay and wait for the interception?
00:39:18Oh
00:39:23Pagel scoops away flagged down intercepted by Fred Marion and
00:39:28Marion tripped up with the 14
00:39:31And if the flag goes against the Colts the Patriots will be in excellent shape once again
00:39:37It's a hold against the Colts
00:39:41interceptor stands
00:39:42Taking a look at Andre Tippett leading the NFL with 13 and a half sacks and here you see why that's a big band
00:39:47Carl Bollish Weiler that he's beating there and that play resulted in a holding penalty
00:39:52So naturally they're going to turn it down and take the interception Freddie Marion having a terrific year in New England with this is his seventh
00:39:58Interception that leads the AFC now. He was the AFC defensive player of the month and you can see why that's right
00:40:05I heard came out of the University of Miami not only seven interceptions, but going into today's game that he had 96 tackles
00:40:11That's a lot of hits
00:40:13tripped up there at the 14
00:40:16So the Patriots will begin just two minutes into the second quarter trying to pad their lead
00:40:24Eason over the middle Morgan puts his head down touchdown
00:40:31He smelled the end zone land he knew exactly where it was that little
00:40:34Stretch there at the last got them got him at last
00:40:37Quarter so to get in the end zone the referee right on the end zone line there in good position
00:40:42I was talking about Stanley jugs Morgan earlier in the day. This is one tremendous receiver a
00:40:48little inside cut
00:40:50See him cutting underneath the linebacker there number 86 coming across
00:40:54Hit on a five-yard line, but stretching it. I don't know from that angle
00:40:57It looks like it may be unfavorable cause it looked to me like he's neat
00:41:00He's knee went down on the two-yard line, but the referee says touchdown and that's all that matters
00:41:06Eason will hold for Tony Franklin
00:41:09And
00:41:11He's got it
00:41:12So with only two minutes gone second quarter the Patriots have taken a ten-point lead the interception by Fred Marion a one-play drive
00:41:2014 yards to Stanley Morgan
00:41:25Your local Ford dealer have you driven a Ford lately
00:41:29By the astonishingly simple new Sony handy cam all the excitement of video movies now in the palm of your hand and by the Sperry
00:41:38corporation
00:41:41Back in Indianapolis Tony Franklin kicks it away to Albert Bentley at the three
00:41:50Bentley runs into a teammate gets across the 20 and fights the 24
00:41:55You can see why he is leading the AFC and kick return yards little guy doesn't quit
00:42:01Taking a look at Stanley Morgan over the years
00:42:04I've been played against this man so many times always had a lot of respect for Stanley Morgan
00:42:07But I didn't realize just how good he was
00:42:09You're gonna see him cutting over the middle here and to me it looks like his knee touches down on the two-yard line
00:42:14But it's a touchdown. It's gonna stand up. But my point is Stanley Morgan is the all-time career leader in yards per catch
00:42:20He is averaged 20.5 yards per catch or his career ahead of
00:42:26Not a bad country receiver himself, you're right his knee was down
00:42:29He was trying to break the plane with the ball and perhaps the official thought he broke the plane before the knee was down
00:42:35Any event the Patriots lead at 17 7 still 12 45 remain in the half first down at the 23
00:42:42wing capers
00:42:44papers across the 30
00:42:47Gets it out to the 32 good pickup see a flag there. Maybe a little clip behind the back hitting from behind on Pat
00:42:55Beecher that goes a number 85 of the block from behind
00:43:03He was just trying to help out his mate
00:43:10Interesting core of wide receivers only Matt boozin
00:43:14Unnecessary roughness 38 defense
00:43:17Against Roland James and that's a first down interesting core of wide receivers Booza came off injured reserve today
00:43:23There's James who committed the foul, but the other four wide receivers very little
00:43:30Experience and and no experience with the Colts before this season Wayne capers
00:43:34There's a surprise Lynn 28 and nothing the Bengals over the Oilers
00:43:39The Bengal offense is tough and that's an even bigger surprise
00:43:45Nothing we're rallying here
00:43:48So the Colts get all the way out to the 46 so the catch and penalty totaled 23 yards and the Colts are in better shape
00:43:55here
00:44:03It wants to throw again
00:44:06Looking for capers and Fred Marion got a hand on it once again, but so much for all the pregame strategy Bob
00:44:13Everyone said how the Colts wanted to establish the run and get it to McMillan and Wamsley and run left
00:44:19Well the early interception and now a 10-point deficit and goodbye game plan of running left
00:44:24That's right. When you're down 17 to 7 in the second quarter. You've got to kind of
00:44:30Improvise you can't be running the ball all the time
00:44:32They're gonna have to keep the Patriots honest by showing the run
00:44:34But he's gonna have to put the ball in the air and Freddie Marion is just playing some excellent center field
00:44:39Does he have a nose for the ball?
00:44:41Second down in 10 for the Colts at their 46
00:44:53Outlet man is McMillan
00:44:56McMillan
00:44:57And after all that maybe he picked up a yard
00:45:01But Kenneth Sims may be hurt for the Patriots
00:45:06Yes, he's rather anything gonna take a look at one of the underrated linebackers in this league Andre Tippett gets all the credit accolades in
00:45:13This team, but his battery mate Don Blackman is an excellent player
00:45:16Also, this may be he's gonna miss this tackle Randy McMillan absolutely makes him miss then
00:45:21I think this is the best one yard run. I've seen all year long
00:45:25He broke three tackles to gain one yard the concern for the Patriots and Raymond Barry and company came running out on the field
00:45:32for their
00:45:34Fine defensive left and Kenneth Sims who was having a fine season, but he appears to be hurt
00:45:40We will watch him closely
00:45:42And while he's tended to we will take a commercial time at some gingery here
00:45:47Actually, Kenneth Sims is going to try a maneuver. That's very much illegal
00:45:50You see 77 in the lower right portion of the screen watch him leg whip at his left leg right here
00:45:55Boom now that is illegal even though he's tackling the ball care. That's an illegal technique and
00:46:00Justice prevailed there
00:46:03Third and nine shotgun
00:46:05Here comes Thomas on your life. Oh
00:46:09Booza inside the 35
00:46:13Excellent reception people are very excited about Matt Booza's return this week, and he's a good possession type receiver
00:46:19But there he showed you why he's so valuable to this Pope game
00:46:25Incidentally Sims was helped off the field. He could not put much weight on his left leg
00:46:31He was not carried off the field
00:46:32But his teammates had to help him as Sims put his arms around their shoulders and we'll try to get an update on Kenneth
00:46:38Sims as well as Cliff Odom of the folks
00:46:41first down the ball to 32
00:46:46Biggest completion of the day the Colts
00:46:49now to the wrong
00:46:53Five and close to another first down
00:46:55Excellent walking that time
00:46:57Excellent walking by the cold offensive line that time
00:47:00That's a play that is run through much pretty much throughout the league now
00:47:03You'll see the left guard bent up and Chris Hinton pulling
00:47:06And the ball carrier turning up
00:47:09Hinton didn't really get the block there
00:47:10But they left the left guard bent up got an excellent block on the defensive end and that is a play as I said
00:47:15It's being run throughout the league right now where your big strong mobile offensive linemen these days
00:47:19They weren't they're not like when I was
00:47:22Look at this one the Browns over the Giants 21 7
00:47:26Cleveland trying to take control of the AFC central on the road against the number one defense in the league the Giants second and
00:47:32inches McMillan
00:47:37Let's see
00:47:39Let's pause briefly for station edification. This is the NBC television network. This is WBZ TV for Boston
00:47:48Back
00:47:50In Indianapolis, it's a first down for the Colts
00:47:53It's the Len Berman along with Bob Kuchenberg the Patriots on the strength of two interceptions
00:47:58complete the Colts 17-7 and
00:48:01The Colts are moving. That was their new offensive line that they could sign
00:48:09First and ten
00:48:1222
00:48:15This direction
00:48:19Inside the 20 to the 18, so this Colts offense trying to do something
00:48:23They haven't done in the last several weeks engineer a long successful offensive drive. That's right, Lenin and their statistics are
00:48:33Running the ball. They have a good per rush average
00:48:36But they've stopped themselves from being consistent with the breakdown here and there throughout the course of the drive
00:48:41So it's something you really can't put your finger on they have an excellent per rush average, but they make errors at critical times
00:48:49840 remaining in the half
00:48:53Second and seven at the 19
00:49:02Falling down and got a hand on him. Anyway, he'll be third down and seven excellent coverage that time by Raymond Claiborne
00:49:09He knew the pattern he was all over boozah. The ball was not very well thrown
00:49:13It was behind boozah and it would have been extremely difficult catch to make
00:49:17It was actually a play-action pass where the it's designed to suck up the linebackers them
00:49:22They thinking that it's going to be a run and create a zone an area between your linebackers and your secondary that part worked
00:49:29But Raymond Claiborne it did not fool third and seven at the 19
00:49:34This located middle finger
00:49:36Checking and Sims left leg. He has been wheeled off to the Patriot locker room out of the shop
00:49:42And off Bentley Bentley looking to throw
00:49:53And it's complete
00:49:55Albert Bentley throwing the pass the rookie from Miami throwing it to Pagel who says that's how close he is to a first down a
00:50:02Little razzle-dazzle the staffers high
00:50:05Albert Bentley pulling here
00:50:08Now then the only reason the quarterback is an eligible receiver here is because it was from the shotgun formation
00:50:15That's right that
00:50:17Quarterback is not allowed to be a receiver
00:50:18He takes the snap over center see the handoff and Bentley will throw it back to a quarterback who's usually open
00:50:24Oh, no, but he ever watches the quarterback and that's why it's such an effective play
00:50:29But they are going for it on fourth and inches at the 13 and the fans like it
00:50:50They're excited
00:50:53Excited they have not packed it in for the year. They're giving the Patriot defense all they want
00:50:57This has been a good slow methodical
00:51:00Impressive drive length and you love these coaches
00:51:03They act conservative when they speak to the media Dauhauer and Barry, but Barry has a wide receiver lineup at quarterback
00:51:10Dauhauer has a quarterback play wide receiver and the coaches are letting it hang out first and goal got a good one going now
00:51:17I'm on
00:51:24They go scrambling
00:51:26They go looking for the million couldn't find him Steve Nelson was between McMillan and the ball
00:51:33Excellent play by the old man Steve Nelson. Nelly was all over the field covering
00:51:38One-on-one you're gonna see Mike Pagle. We talked about his mobility. That's one of the big assets he has as a quarterback
00:51:44He can scamper. He's a threat to throw the ball and run the ball now with him running here
00:51:48It forces the New England secondary to come up and cover him, but Steve Nelson
00:51:51You're gonna see in the right-hand side if it says it's a hand on the ball tipped it
00:51:54Preventing what was a sure touchdown?
00:51:56Here you have Steve Nelson that's been playing for 12 years. I don't think he can break 5.5 on the 40-yard dash
00:52:06Well play of the drive to start on their 23 second goal the Patriots eight
00:52:15And that's blocked
00:52:19Big Lester Williams
00:52:21The Hurricanes are everywhere
00:52:24Lester partially blocked Pat Leahy's winning field goal last week and here he gets a big mitt on this Mike Pagle 12
00:52:31Look at this. That's a major league block
00:52:34Yes, it is Lester Williams big tall guy doesn't get that much penetration
00:52:38But does what he's coached to do and that's when the ball kit when the quarterbacks throwing the ball gets his hands up
00:52:43And blocks it. What do you call here? He's gone put on fourth and inches. He's had a gadget play
00:52:49He needs something here a third and goal from the eight
00:52:52That's probably a passing situation. He's got two
00:52:56Wansley's lined up as a wide receiver Pagle throwing for his tight end
00:53:01And he can't hang on Fred Marion, of course was one there and Pagle is down as you see as he took a hit
00:53:07that beats the intended receiver and
00:53:10Bagels still kneeling
00:53:12From Lester Williams again here to fine plays by the ex-hurricane Lester Williams in a row here that turned what was a very dangerous
00:53:19Situation defensively into a very safe situation. You know, who's really happy that that play didn't go
00:53:25Raul Allegra gets to try a field goal. He gets paid by the kick
00:53:31$3,000 for a field goal. He said boy, that's pretty good
00:53:33He didn't hang on for the touchdown because now I get to go for three grand
00:53:37You're right, I saw him cheering when Nelson deflected that touchdown pass not really
00:53:4225 yard attempt for Allegra
00:53:45And put $3,000 in the bank the happiest Colt in the lineup three points
00:53:51$3,000 six
00:53:53Half time and the Colts have closed through within seven of the Patriots way. It's 1710 the Patriots on top
00:54:02Starring brought it out last time and he'll do it again
00:54:06And it works again, he gets past the 20 but flags are down all over the field as he takes a high hard hit
00:54:12by Leonard Coleman
00:54:17And now some
00:54:18extra activity upfield between Tate Randall and Johnny Rembrandt
00:54:23Just a little belly bumping going on here. You know these Tate Randall doesn't get to play a lot anymore
00:54:27He's got to loosen up a little bit here
00:54:31Let's see what Bob McElwee says
00:54:37Oh
00:54:38Holding number 83 holding number 23 both on the return
00:54:44That's McSwain and Jones
00:54:47and
00:54:48Our production assistant Kevin Smallman has figured out a leg Raynomics
00:54:52For the extra point five hundred dollars the field goal three thousand. That's why he reacts this way after the field goal
00:54:58But let's give him a plug here. It is not sheer greed after one game this year
00:55:03He gave all the money he got from kicking to aid the Mexican relief victims from the earthquakes because he is a native of Mexico
00:55:10So it's not all sheer cash
00:55:15The crowd comes alive first down for New England backed up to their 10 now
00:55:23And they play it straight ahead and the defense is there
00:55:27Great James the carry Dwayne Bickett may have been fooled by the turkey ploy
00:55:33But not fooled by the run you have an ongoing match here today between two ex-alabama Greg's big John Anna here
00:55:39You see him blocking a very cross trying to block very cross
00:55:43Very got good position on him that time beat him to the outside and got involved with the tackle
00:55:47Do you think the shoulder is telling the tale?
00:55:50I think it is
00:55:53He's not played up to his standards
00:55:56Eason faced with a second and nine at the 11
00:56:00James again lost the ball
00:56:06Got it back
00:56:08We haven't had a fumble today the Patriots have fumbled more than any team in the league
00:56:13They've given it away, and they've recovered more fumbles anyone around but not today. They've done it with the interceptions
00:56:19Ball out to the 15 Denver's taking lead now over Pittsburgh
00:56:23I'll wait to the Flint Sampson 24-yarder Giants have come back on another Joe Morris touchdown
00:56:3914 and flags are down
00:56:50Number 66
00:56:54Paul Fairchild starting in place of the injured Ron Wooten
00:56:58So the play being sent in as you saw Tom Ramsey and coach Raymond Burry
00:57:03Cedric Jones will bring it into the huddle and they're faced with third and 11th and nine
00:57:08In this case do you get conservative you or do you go for it?
00:57:12Well if history is any indication
00:57:14Tony Eason is gonna put the ball in the air here
00:57:16The reason for that penalty that time by the way was a shotgun formation on the road. It's very difficult to hear your
00:57:22Particularly when he's in the shotgun as he is now
00:57:24They're making a noise again Eason clapping his hands for the ball
00:57:29from his end zone
00:57:30The starring who couldn't hold on
00:57:33He would have had a first down had it lost it the crowd comes to life as the Colts have held
00:57:40Good coverage by Preston Davis the ball's gonna arrive a little bit low. It's a catchable ball
00:57:44He should have had it hits his shoulder pad there that that is a clutch catch you're keeping their own territory
00:57:50I can make this sketch you've got a first down now the Patriots are funding from deep in their own end zone
00:58:10Partially blocked today
00:58:18Gets this one off
00:58:24And Martin gets it down to the New England 35
00:58:28So with 424 remaining in the first half the Colts trail up by 7 17 10
00:58:36But they have the ball an excellent position at the New England 34
00:58:41That's one of the things land Rich Camarillo has an excellent gross funding average 47 43.7 yards
00:58:48But he has a not a very good net running average 33.7 yards
00:58:52There's a big disparity a 10-yard disparity between his gross and net funding average of reason for that is he commonly outkicks his coverage
00:58:59He kicks long and low
00:59:01A lot of returners first down at the 34
00:59:17He got away and completes it to Boyer what a play
00:59:32How did Pagel sneak away from the sack is the question
00:59:36What a heads-up play, but it's fine athlete. Not only how did he sneak away from the sack?
00:59:41He ducks under two or three tacklers here comes up, but also what's impressive to me is he knows exactly where the line of scrimmage is
00:59:49How does he know he's not across the line of scrimmage he wasn't excellent judgment by the young quarterback
00:59:53What a play 22 yards down to the 12
00:59:56First down
01:00:02Wait a second, this is the same team that's lost four in a row and it's three and nine
01:00:07Did someone say they might be looking ahead to the Chicago Bears next week?
01:00:10Look out Bears here come the Colts the same team that went out and pulled of a tent last week in Kansas City
01:00:15Now talking with the Colts and their coaches yesterday Lynn I could tell that even though the record doesn't indicate it
01:00:21This is not a team that's packed it in for the season
01:00:24They're having fun even though they're not winning. They're trying they're done if they've got a lot of pride dollars and still
01:00:29Isn't smiling yet second and four of the six
01:00:36Papers in motion
01:00:55You
01:01:02Second touchdown of the game for Randy McMillan the Colts are within a point watch number 64 been out here
01:01:09It's a trap play. He logs the
01:01:11Defender Andre tip at the all-pro this touchdown is because the left guard bent
01:01:16I did an excellent job of logging in or blocking the all-pro Andre tippet
01:01:21His assignment is to block tippet inside or outside in this case
01:01:29And the tie football game with 253 remaining in the first half
01:01:34It's the Patriots 17 the Colts 17. There you see Ben at number 64 and listen. There's Andre tippet
01:01:40There's the block if he gets that block
01:01:41He's got an unimpeded line to the end zone that made it look easy the block by the left guard
01:01:47So McMillan two touchdowns on the ground the Patriots have their two touchdowns in the air and it is tied and credit the Colt defense
01:01:55For holding the Patriots on the last drive
01:01:58Starring couldn't hold on to that pass
01:02:00The punt from the end zone was a short one put the Colts an excellent position three plays later 34 yards
01:02:07Six yard run from McMillan and it's a surprising score
01:02:121717 the Patriots are a team fighting for first place today
01:02:15The Colts are merely fighting for respectability and yet with 253 remaining in the half
01:02:21They're even that's right Len the Colts have had a good solid defense all year long
01:02:25The problem has been they've had an inconsistent offense. They've not been able to stay in drive and transfer when your defense is on the field
01:02:33They get worn down
01:02:35Leg ray to stay in bounds. No
01:02:39barrel
01:02:42So the leg ray will have to kick it again doesn't get any extra money for extra kickoffs does he
01:02:49That looked like a nine iron shot coming down about two feet from the pin
01:02:52Here's what it's all about the Colts are trying to stay out of last place
01:02:56The Patriots are trying to tie the Jets for first place and of course, Miami
01:03:01Your former team Bob with the big game tomorrow night
01:03:04Hosting Chicago. What do you like? I
01:03:07Like the Dolphins and I'm hoping and praying for some good hot humid weather down there Monday night
01:03:12and I think if we get that the refrigerator and
01:03:14Company may come unplugged in about the third quarter a lot of respect around the league for Don Shula naturally and also for the
01:03:20For the Dolphins playing at home
01:03:22The Orange Bowl is a very difficult place to play and I know one thing there will be
01:03:2775,000 souls united in the Orange Bowl Monday night cheering for the Bears bushwhacking
01:03:34Oh now with five touchdowns talk about a tough place the Orange Bowl is just ask the Patriots
01:03:39They've only won once there in their history and had back
01:03:431966 coming up at halftime NFL 85 while Al Zato will be in the studio
01:03:53This time out to the 27 and the Patriots will go to work with two minutes and 37 seconds remaining in the first half
01:04:02Preston Davis on the stock
01:04:06Patriots up
01:04:08In two weeks the Patriots people talk about tiebreakers and finishing and well what happens with different records. It's very simple
01:04:15If they win they go to the playoffs
01:04:16All they have to do is win seven straight games starting today and they win the Super Bowl
01:04:22So all the talk about tiebreakers and what if that's only for losers the Patriots now control their own destiny
01:04:31It doesn't matter if the other team's good
01:04:33And look at this
01:04:35They're playing telephone on the offensive line for the Patriots getting the play call
01:04:40Eason, McCollins incomplete
01:04:43Did you see the line there each man was passing the play down the right side of the Patriots
01:04:48Out to the right flank. That's an additional problem here of letting the Colts back in the ballgame
01:04:52You've got not only the Colts excited, but their fans are excited here in the Hoosier Dome
01:04:56Of course, it's an enclosed area and it can be very loud
01:04:59Now when the Patriots were up 17 to 7 you didn't hear much there was no problem for the Patriots to hear their sickness now
01:05:04It's very loud. They've got their hands
01:05:12Using the shotgun here very hard to hear
01:05:21Going long a flag is down wide open Irving Friar and goes out of bounds
01:05:26But a flag is down on the near side and we'll see what the call is
01:05:31This Friar open or what there was a breakdown in the Colt coverage, that's for sure, but the penalty
01:05:39Holding number 38 defense
01:05:42penalty is declined
01:05:43first down
01:05:45Penalty against Eugene Daniel the long pickup for Friar stands. Look at this one
01:05:52Don't know what kind of coverage of Colts bring here we can't see
01:05:56But somebody did not even see the receiver looks like take Randall who comes in and the nickel package
01:06:02did not turn and run deep with Irving Friar and
01:06:05This is not something the Colts would like to give up a 50-yard pass here in the final two and a half minutes of the
01:06:11First half a 62 yard pickup and the Patriots are in business
01:06:15We've had enough action for a complete football game this afternoon, and we still have to 26
01:06:26You
01:06:29Going far side nearly picked off
01:06:36The Colts nine in the crowd
01:06:47Great James
01:06:50James cuts inside the five
01:06:52Clock continues to run Barry Krause making the stop 145 remaining and counting
01:06:58Craig James having a fine year not only as a runner
01:07:01He's had entered the game with 840 yards rushing
01:07:04But also an excellent receivers caught 22 balls coming out the backfield and his combined yardage from the line of scrimmage is among the leaders
01:07:10in the American Football Conference
01:07:12Having a fine year Craig James. He knows what a pager it is
01:07:16The field got four yards now the minute 20 remaining in the half second and goal before
01:07:26James again
01:07:28Tries to cut back and does the good move for the touchdown the Patriots have taken the lead
01:07:35That's a very important development here for the Patriots to get on the scoreboard just before half the Colts have fought their hearts out
01:07:41You're gonna see Craig James. This is almost all in Craig James. He has a speed to get outside here, but there's nowhere to run
01:07:48Stopping cutting back gets the last four yards all on his own
01:07:52Don't see too many white jerseys blocking for him. There are a lot of blue jerseys that
01:07:55Craig James looks like a man running through a forest at night. They're unhipped at the trees and an excellent job. He's having a fine season
01:08:03Took the Patriots less than two minutes to regain the lead after the Colts at time
01:08:09Play the 62-yard
01:08:12Tony Franklin gives the Patriots a seven-point lead
01:08:17So we have had 41 points scored this first half a high-scoring affair
