>> IT IS A BEAUTIFUL OCTOBER
NIGHT IN THE BIG APPLE.
WE'RE ABOUT EIGHT MILES AS THE
BLIMP FLIES FROM MIDTOWN
MANHATTAN.
GIANTS STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD,
NEW JERSEY.
AND OUT ONTO THE FIELD COME THE
NEW YORK JETS TO TAKE ON THE
MIAMI DOLPHINS.
BATTLE FOR THE TOP SPOT IN THE
AFC EAST.
THE BALL IS BLOWN OFF THE TEE ON
A BREEZY NIGHT.
THE TEMPERATURE AROUND
50 DEGREES.
JOHN HALL TO KICK OFF FOR THE
JETS.
DAVE WANNSTEDT, WHO COACHED THE
CHICAGO BEARS FOR SIX YEARS.
HE WAS THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
UNDER JIMMY JOHNSON BACK IN THE
EARLY '90s.
AND AL GROH, WHOSE ONLY PRIOR
HEAD COACHING EXPERIENCE BEFORE
THIS SEASON WAS AT WAKE FOREST,
IN THE ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE
AT THAT POINT, IN THE EARLY
'80s.
>> JOHN HALL'S RATE OF
TOUCHBACKS HAS DIMINISHED EACH
YEAR, AL, AS HIS FIELD-GOAL
PERCENTAGE GETS HIGHER.
SORT OF LIKE TIGER WOODS -- HE
DIALED HIS STROKE IN.
>> THIS KICK IS A PRETTY GOOD
ONE.
IT'S FIELDED BY BROCK MARION AT
THE 7-YARD LINE.
HE BRINGS IT OUT PAST THE 20.
AND THE MIAMI RETURN MAN BRINGS
IT TO THE 29.
AND MELISSA TALKING ABOUT
TONY MARTIN -- INJURED, NOT
PLAYING.
O.J. McDUFFIE, THOUGH, IN
UNIFORM AND FIGURES TO PLAY IN
MOST THIRD-DOWN SITUATIONS.
>> BRYAN COX SAID KONRAD CAN'T
BLOCK HIS WAY OUT OF A PAPER
BAG.
I'D SEND KONRAD RIGHT AFTER HIM.
>> FIEDLER TO THROW ON FIRST
DOWN.
AND THE PASS IS CAUGHT BY
LESLIE SHEPHERD.
GAIN OF ABOUT 5.
LAMAR SMITH ON SECOND DOWN.
COMING UP ABOUT A YARD AND A
HALF SHY OF THE FIRST.
SHANE BURTON MAKES THE HIT.
BRYAN COX, ONE-TIME DOLPHIN,
AND HE PLAYED WITH THE BEARS
WHEN WANNSTEDT WAS THE COACH
THERE.
FIEDLER ON THIRD AND 1 GIVES THE
BALL TO SMITH.
AND SMITH ACROSS THE 38-YARD
LINE AND HAS THE FIRST DOWN.
>> YOU KNOW, AL, HE MIGHT HAVE
PLAYED FOR WANNSTEDT WHEN HE WAS
THERE, BUT I WONDER IF EITHER OF
THESE GUYS -- TRACE ARMSTRONG OR
COX -- PLAYED FOR WANNSTEDT
THERE, BECAUSE WANNSTEDT SEEMS
LIKE A MAN REBORN, DOESN'T HE?
>> HE DOES.
>> HE LEARNED THE HARD WAY IN
CHICAGO.
THIS IS ANOTHER THIRD-DOWN
CONVERSION FOR THE DOLPHINS.
THEY'VE BEEN VERY GOOD THIS YEAR
BECAUSE THEY GET A LOT OF SHORT
SITUATIONS ON THIRD DOWN WITH
THIS TYPE OF OFFENSE.
THEY RUN THE BALL MORE THAN ANY
TEAM IN THE LEAGUE.
AND THE REASON THEY DO THAT IS
BECAUSE OF LAMAR SMITH.
HE'S A PATIENT, HARD-NOSED
RUNNER.
THURMAN THOMAS GIVES THEM THE
VERSATILITY IN ALL SITUATIONS,
ESPECIALLY IN NICKEL.
AND, OF COURSE, J.J. JOHNSON
WE'RE GONNA SEE A LOT TONIGHT.
>> WHAT IS THAT THING ON
BRYAN COX, DAN?
WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY DO?
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S PERMANENTLY
ON A RIDE AT DISNEYLAND.
WHAT IS THAT?
>> WELL, IT'S A NECK BRACE.
AND WHEN YOU HIT AS MUCH AS COX
DOES AND HE LEADS WITH HIS
HELMET -- YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE
BACK -- IT KEEPS HIS HEAD FROM
SNAPPING BACK.
>> REALLY?
IT'S THAT FIRM, THAT THING?
>> OH, YEAH.
IT'S LIKE FIRST-CLASS ON YOUR
PRIVATE JET.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> NOT TONIGHT.
FIRST DOWN AT THE 38-YARD LINE
BY HALF THE LENGTH OF THE
FOOTBALL.
SO THE DOLPHINS AT THE NEW YORK
38-YARD LINE.
AND THE DOLPHINS, AS YOU CAN
SEE -- 56-44 THE RUN/PASS RATIO.
AND OF ALL THINGS, IN THE
POST-MARINO ERA, THE MOST
RUN-DOMINANT TEAM IN THE LEAGUE.
AND AGAIN A RUN HERE BY SMITH
AND A FIRST DOWN!
SO LAMAR SMITH, IN A WAY A BIT
OF A RECLAMATION PROJECT.
A SOMETIME STARTER WITH THE
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS.
WENT TO NEW ORLEANS.
GOT LOST IN THE SHUFFLE THERE
WHEN THEY DRAFTED
RICKY WILLIAMS.
AND THEN PICKED UP BY MIAMI.
>> THIS IS WHAT LAMAR SMITH HAS
BROUGHT TO THE DOLPHINS -- THE
ABILITY TO MAKE THE FIRST
TACKLER MISS, AS HE DOES
KEVIN WILLIAMS RIGHT THERE.
GETS ABOUT 3 EXTRA YARDS.
WE'LL SEE SMITH CARRY THE BALL
TONIGHT 25, MAYBE EVEN 30 TIMES.
>> SMITH IN HIS SEVENTH YEAR IN
THE LEAGUE, AND YET THIS IS HIS
FIRST MONDAY-NIGHT APPEARANCE.
ACROSS THE 50, TO THE 49.
HE COMES OUT.
THURMAN THOMAS, THE FUTURE HALL
OF FAMER, IS IN THE GAME.
AND THE PASS IS CAUGHT BY
HUNTER GOODWIN, THE TIGHT END.
TO THE 41-YARD LINE.
THAT'S A GAIN OF 8.
>> COMING BACK AFTER THAT
PITTSBURGH LOSS, THEY NEEDED TO
BE TOUGH, AND GROH GOT WHAT HE
WANTED.
>> LAMAR SMITH BACK IN THE GAME.
AND LAMAR, ON SECOND AND 2, GETS
TO THE 39, AND THAT'S CLOSE TO A
FIRST DOWN.
AL GROH, THE LINEBACKERS COACH
HERE LAST YEAR.
AND, OF COURSE, HAD BELICHICK
REMAINED HERE, GROH PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE BEEN BILL'S DEFENSIVE
COORDINATOR.
>> YOU GOT TO LOVE THE LOOK ON
GROH, WITH THE GRAY SWEATSHIRT.
HE'S LIKE TYSON COMING INTO THE
RING WITH THAT TOWEL TORN OUT,
MAN.
THERE'S NO FRILLS WITH GROH.
HE'S GOT A SIGN ON HIS DESK.
IT SAYS, "JUST COACH THE TEAM."
YOU TALK ABOUT A BASIC APPROACH.
>> I ASKED HIM WHAT HIS APPROACH
FOR HIS DEFENSE WAS GONNA BE
THIS WEEK, AND HE SAID HE TOLD
THEM TO ALL WEAR A LOT OF PADS.
IT'S GONNA BE A VERY PHYSICAL
GAME.
>> THAT'S PROBABLY -- YEAH,
THAT'S PART OF THE DEAL.
AS ROB KONRAD PICKS UP 3.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO THE
ANNOTATED MICHAELS PRETTY SOON.
>> I'M NOT SURE WHAT "ANNOTATED"
 OR "PERIPATETIC" MEANS.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> BUT I DO KNOW THAT
JAY FIEDLER, HE SAID THEY'VE GOT
TO RUN THE BALL WELL ON FIRST
DOWN, AND THEY'RE GONNA BE GOING
AGAINST A LINEBACKER THAT HAD A
FANTASTIC GAME LAST WEEK.
HERE'S MO LEWIS, NUMBER 57.
HE EVEN GOT IN ON THE OFFENSIVE
PLAYS.
DOES A NICE JOB OF FIGHTING OFF
HUNTER GOODWIN.
HEY, HOW ABOUT HUNTER GOODWIN
CATCHING A PASS ON THIS FIRST
DRIVE?
>> TIGHT END WITH AN 8-YARD GAIN
ON THE PASS THAT HE CAUGHT.
JETS SHOWING BLITZ.
ON SECOND AND 7, THEY GIVE IT TO
SMITH.
AND HE GETS WRAPPED UP AS HE
CROSSES THE 35-YARD LINE.
AND LEADING THE CHARGE IS
MARVIN JONES.
>> THIS IS WHERE FIEDLER SAID --
THEY GET IN THIRD-DOWN
SITUATIONS, THEY EXPECT A LOT OF
BLITZES, AND HE'S GOT TO GET RID
OF THE BALL IN A HURRY BECAUSE
THE DOLPHIN RECEIVERS ARE
RECEIVERS THAT ARE NOT GONNA
MAKE A LOT OF YARDS AFTER THE
CATCH.
HERE'S THE HIT MAN,
MARVIN JONES, IN THE MIDDLE, 55.
AND LEADS THE JETS IN TACKLES
BECAUSE OF THAT TYPE OF ABILITY
RIGHT THERE.
>> WELL, MARVIN'S TIME WAS
GETTING VERY SITUATIONAL THERE
FOR A WHILE, AND HE DIDN'T
REALLY LIKE IT.
THEY GAVE HIM MORE PLAYS LAST
WEEK, KEPT HIM IN ON THIRD
DOWNS, AND HE HAD A HECK OF A
GAME.
HE JUST IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO
NEEDS THE WORK.
>> THIRD AND 5, AND
O.J. McDUFFIE SEES HIS FIRST
ACTION OF THE SEASON.
HE'S THE MAN IN MOTION, 81.
FIEDLER LOOKS THE OTHER WAY.
AND THE PASS IS CAUGHT AT THE
28-YARD LINE BY ORONDE GADSDEN.
FORWARD PROGRESS GIVES HIM A
FIRST DOWN.
TACKLED BY MO LEWIS.
>> AND THIS IS WHAT FIEDLER WAS
TALKING ABOUT, IS THAT THE
RECEIVERS HAVE GOT TO GO DOWN
THE FIELD AND GET THE YARDAGE
NECESSARY AND THEY CAN'T REALLY
RELY ON THEIR RUNNING ABILITY
AFTERWARDS.
BUT THE PROTECTION IS THERE.
THE OFFENSIVE LINE FOR THE
DOLPHINS ONLY HAS ALLOWED
10 SACKS THIS YEAR ON MIAMI
QUARTERBACKS.
YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE -- A
GOOD, SHARP ROUTE IN FRONT OF
MARCUS COLEMAN FOR
ORONDE GADSDEN.
>> THEY LOST LAMAR THOMAS,
ANOTHER RECEIVER, IN PRESEASON.
AS FIEDLER RETREATS.
FIEDLER GOES DEEP.
AND THAT IS GADSDEN GETTING FREE
AT THE 1-YARD LINE!
KEVIN WILLIAMS IS THE GUY WHO
GETS BEATEN ON THE PLAY.
26 YARDS, AND IT'S FIRST AND
GOAL.
>> AND DAN MARINO NEVER THREW A
BETTER PASS THAN THIS ONE TO
ORONDE GADSDEN.
IT'S A DEEP CORNER ROUTE AGAINST
TWO-DEEP.
THIS BALL IS PERFECTLY THROWN IN
FRONT OF KEVIN WILLIAMS AND OVER
THE HEAD OF MARCUS COLEMAN.
WHAT A GREAT PASS BY FIEDLER,
WHO IS OFF TO A GREAT START HERE
IN HIS HOMETOWN -- 4 FOR 4 NOW
AND ON THE VERGE OF PUTTING ONE
IN THE END ZONE.
>> FIRST AND GOAL FROM THE
1-YARD LINE.
THEY GIVE IT TO SMITH, AND HE
CAN'T GET IN.
IT IS MARVIN JONES WHO DENIES
HIM.
>> I WAS ASKING MO LEWIS ABOUT
THE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES OF
THE LINEBACKERS.
HE SAID THAT BRYAN COX IS
MISUNDERSTOOD BUT A NICE GUY AND
ROMAN PHIFER IS ONE OF THOSE
GUYS THAT IS ALWAYS CONSISTENT.
AND ABOUT MARVIN JONES, HE SAYS,
"HE JUST LIKES TO HIT."
WE'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF HUGE HITS
ALREADY FROM NUMBER 55.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> SECOND DOWN AND GOAL FROM THE
1-YARD LINE.
KONRAD IS IN MOTION.
FIEDLER'S GOING TO THROW.
AND HE THROWS IT OUT OF THE BACK
OF THE END ZONE.
AND THAT'S HIS FIRST INCOMPLETE
PASS.
>> THAT WAS REALLY WELL DEFENSED
BY THE JETS, BECAUSE THEY HAD
ALL LINEBACKERS IN THE GAME.
YOU CAN SEE MO LEWIS IS BACK
THERE.
>> AND THEY RUN THEIR THIRD PLAY
FROM THE 1.
ON THIRD AND GOAL -- THERE'S A
WHISTLE BEFORE THE SNAP.
FLAG DOWN.
WALT COLEMAN IS THE REFEREE.
WHO MOVED?
WHO MOVED FIRST?
>> PRIOR TO THE SNAP, FALSE
START, 60, OFFENSE.
5 YARDS. STILL THIRD DOWN.
>> JOHN BOCK.
SO APPARENTLY, DAN, THEY ARE
UNCOMFORTABLE AT THE 1, HAVING
NOT RUN A SINGLE PLAY FROM THE
1-YARD STRIPE THIS SEASON.
>> AND NOW THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO
GO BACK TO THE 6-YARD LINE.
JOHN BOCK, WHO WAS GONNA GET OUT
IN FRONT THERE ON THE PULL, JUST
MOVED TOO SOON.
THERE HE IS.
YOU CAN JUST SEE HIS HEAD
THERE -- NUMBER 60.
HE'S FILLING IN FOR
MARK DIXON, WHO'S OUT WITH A BAD
ELBOW.
>> THIRD DOWN AND GOAL NOW FROM
THE 6.
OPENING DRIVE OF THE GAME.
THE DOLPHINS HAVE HAD THE BALL
FOR ALMOST 7 MINUTES.
>> THEY MIGHT FEEL MORE
COMFORTABLE AT THE 6 THAN THEY
DID AT THE 1.
>> WE'LL FIND OUT.
FIEDLER.
HE SWINGS IT OUT TO SMITH.
AND THEY'RE NOT COMFORTABLE FROM
THE 6 EITHER.
MARVIN JONES WITH THE TACKLE.
BIG DEFENSIVE SERIES FROM
MARVIN JONES.
>> THAT'S A HUGE DEFENSIVE
STAND.
I MEAN, THE DOLPHINS WERE ON THE
1-YARD LINE.
FIRST AND GOAL FROM THE 1 AND
THEY END UP LOSING 8 YARDS, ALL
THE WAY BACK TO THE 9-YARD LINE.
WATCH MARVIN JONES, 55, COME OUT
HERE ON LAMAR SMITH.
LEWIS WITH THE BLITZ.
AND WHEN THE BALL IS CAUGHT,
SMITH HAS NO PLACE TO GO.
>> FIEDLER SHOWED A LOT OF TOUCH
ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT PASSES ON
THAT FIRST SERIES, DAN.
HE LOOKED GOOD, HUH?
>> YEAH, HE DID.
>> 28-YARD ATTEMPT FOR
OLINDO MARE, A VERY ACCURATE
FIELD-GOAL KICKER.
AND HE BOOTS IT THROUGH.
>> LET'S GO BACK TO THIS CATCH
BY ORONDE GADSDEN.
WAS HE IN BOUNDS OR NOT?
ONE FOOT DOWN, ONE FOOT OUT OF
BOUNDS.
AND THE JETS WERE TRYING TO
CHALLENGE THIS CALL, AND THE
OFFICIALS DIDN'T SEE IT.
>> EITHER THEY DIDN'T SEE IT OR
THEY DIDN'T CHALLENGE IT IN
TIME.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON A PLAY LIKE
THAT OFTTIMES IS THEY'LL LOOK AT
OUR REPLAY UPSTAIRS -- AS MARE
KICKS OFF AND IT'S FIELDED BY
STONE.
AND HE TAKES IT BACK TO THE 25
AND THEN OUT TO THE 29-YARD
LINE.
BUT THE GUY WILL LOOK UPSTAIRS
AND THEN CALL DOWN, AND THEY MAY
HAVE BEEN TOO LATE IN ATTEMPTING
TO CHALLENGE.
>> WANNSTEDT ALSO TOLD US IN OUR
MEETING THEY HAVE A RED-ALERT
PLAY.
WHEN THEY THINK SOMETHING MIGHT
BE REPLAYED, THEY HUSTLE THEIR
BUNS DOWN THERE AND GET THE NEXT
PLAY OFF BEFORE THE TEAM CAN ASK
FOR THE REPLAY.
>> THEY GOT DOWN FAIRLY QUICKLY.
IT'S FIRST DOWN FROM THE 30-YARD
LINE.
AND THAT'S CURTIS MARTIN SHOVING
HIS WAY FOR A HALF-YARD.
SECOND DOWN AND 10.
VINNY.
AND HE JUST STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS.
EVERYBODY WAS COVERED AT THE
29-YARD LINE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A VERY GOOD
DOLPHIN DEFENSIVE FRONT SEVEN.
>> THEY'VE GOT A FRONT SEVEN
JUST ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE.
THEY ROTATE SO MANY GUYS IN AND
OUT OF THERE, YOU DON'T EVEN
HAVE TO INCLUDE THE LINEBACKERS.
YOU'VE GOT SEVEN GUYS WHO PLAY A
LOT OF TIME ON THE D-LINE FOR
THE DOLPHINS.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 11.
AND THAT IS KNOCKED DOWN BY
BROCK MARION.
INTENDED FOR DEDRIC WARD.
I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT AKRON IS INFAMOUS FOR.
>> THE ZIPS.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> THE ONLY TEAM KNOWN AS THE
ZIPS.
>> DIDN'T GERRY FAUST SETTLE OUT
THERE EVENTUALLY?
>> "INFAMOUS" IS NOT A POSITIVE
DESCRIPTION.
>> NEITHER IS "ZIPS" AS A
NICKNAME, I DON'T THINK.
AND THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY
WHO PLAYED AT A SCHOOL CALLED
THE DUCKS.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> I GUESS THE ZIPS WERE JUST
SHUT OUT SO MANY TIMES.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
BACK TO PUNT IS TOM TUPA.
AND LESLIE SHEPHERD AND
JEFF OGDEN ARE BACK -- TWO GUYS
BACK FOR MIAMI.
IT'S A HIGH, FLOATING KICK.
AND A FAIR CATCH IS CALLED FOR
BY SHEPHERD AT THE 31.
SO THE DOLPHINS WILL TAKE OVER
FOR THE SECOND TIME THERE WITH
5:54 TO GO.
FIRST DOWN AT THE 31-YARD LINE.
FIEDLER THROWS.
AND THE CATCH IS MADE BY
ORONDE GADSDEN!
A LITTLE HURDLE ACTION TO THE
43-YARD LINE.
JAMES FARRIOR IS THE GUY HE
LEAPED OVER, AND A DECATHLETE
LIKE FIEDLER CAN APPRECIATE THAT
MOVE.
>> YOU KNOW, HE'S GONNA
APPRECIATE THE PLAY CALLING,
TOO.
CHAN GAILEY THROWING THE BALL ON
FIRST DOWN NOW.
THIS IS A GREAT MOVE RIGHT HERE.
HE GOES RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF
FARRIOR.
AGAINST MARCUS COLEMAN, WHO'S
PLAYING HIM SOFT AND TO THE
OUTSIDE.
PERFECT PASS BY JAY FIEDLER.
>> YOU KNOW GAILEY LOVES THE
FACT THAT HE HASN'T OPENED UP
FIEDLER YET.
WITH ALL THESE RUNS, 5-1.
AND THEY STILL HAVE A PLACE TO
GO WITH FIEDLER.
THE GUY CAN THROW.
THEY CAN OPEN HIM UP NOW MIDWAY
THROUGH THE SEASON.
>> CHAN GAILEY, THE LAST TWO
YEARS THE COWBOYS' HEAD COACH,
THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR FOR
MIAMI.
SENDS IN THIS PLAY.
WIDE OPEN IS LESLIE SHEPHERD!
TOUCHDOWN.
>> WOW.
>> LESLIE SHEPHERD, WHO'S BEEN
AROUND, AND HE'S BEEN A BIG-PLAY
GUY THROUGH THE YEARS.
AND A BIG PLAY RIGHT HERE --
42 YARDS.
>> AND HE SPLIT THE TWO-DEEP
COVERAGE OF THE JETS WITH A
BEAUTIFUL PASS.
HE LOOKS OFF TO THE RIGHT.
NOW HE'S GOT SHEPHERD RIGHT DOWN
THE GUT.
LOOK AT THE TIGHT SPIRAL.
WHAT A GREAT PASS.
FIEDLER NOW 7 OUT OF 8,
113 YARDS.
AND THIS IS A GUY WHOSE BEST
GAME IS 175 YARDS.
>> THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO GLASS
OFF FIEDLER'S LOCKER.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> MARE FOR THE POINT AFTER.
AND SO SHEPHERD SCORED A
TOUCHDOWN AGAINST BUFFALO IN THE
DOLPHINS' LAST GAME.
THEY HAD THE BYE WEEK.
>> LOOK AT THE PASS PROTECTION
THAT FIEDLER HAS ON THAT BALL.
A CLEAR THROWING LANE TO HIS
RECEIVER.
AND THE JETS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
JUST A STEP SLOW ON DEFENSE
TONIGHT.
THE DOLPHINS, AS YOU SAID, AL,
ARE SUPER SHARP.
>> JUST A TINGE OF MARINO IN
FIEDLER'S DELIVERY.
QUICK OFF THE EAR LIKE THAT.
NOT DANNY'S GUN, BUT QUICK
RELEASE THERE.
>> SIMILAR RESULTS.
>> MARE'S KICK FIELDED BY
KEVIN WILLIAMS.
FROM THE 5, KEVIN WILLIAMS COMES
BACK OUT TO THE 28-YARD LINE.
FROM THE 27-YARD LINE, HERE'S
MARTIN TAKING IT UP TO THE
30-YARD LINE.
HE'S TACKLED THERE BY
JERMAINE HALEY.
DAN, LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT
CURTIS MARTIN.
>> WELL, HE'S ALREADY RUSHED FOR
OVER 1,000 YARDS IN EACH OF HIS
FIVE SEASONS.
HE'S ALREADY HALFWAY THERE TO
ANOTHER 1,000 YARDS.
HE'S MOST DANGEROUS ON DRAW
PLAYS, WHERE HE SEES THE OPEN
LANES.
AND BEING A VERTICAL RUNNER, HIS
MOVES ARE ALWAYS INTENDED TO GET
YARDS GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD.
THIS YEAR, HE'S SHOWING HIS
VERSATILITY EVEN MORE -- FIVE
TDs RUSHING, TWO TDs RECEIVING.
AND WHAT JET FAN WILL EVER
FORGET HIS TOUCHDOWN PASS TO
BEAT THE BUCS?
>> HUGE PLAY.
SECOND DOWN AND 7.
THAT PASS WAS THROWN TO CHREBET.
THAT PASS IS KNOCKED AWAY BY
JERRY WILSON.
>> LOOKED LIKE THEY ANIMATED A
PRETTY BIG PACKAGE IN THERE ON
CURTIS, DIDN'T THEY?
I MEANT THE ENTIRE PACKAGE IN
ITS ENTIRETY.
>> OH, YES. I KNOW.
I'M NOT ALLOWED TO CHUCKLE THAT
MUCH, THOUGH, YOU KNOW?
BUT I'M CHUCKLING.
>> I'LL TELL YOU, MARTIN IS THE
QUINTESSENTIAL WORKHORSE.
THIS GUY, IN AN 82-GAME CAREER,
HAS CARRIED THE BALL 30 OR MORE
TIMES 15 TIMES.
YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
JIMMY BROWN DID IT?
JIMMY BROWN'S THOUGHT TO BE THE
ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.
HE HAD SIX IN HIS CAREER!
>> JERALD SOWELL IN THE GAME
IN THE BACKFIELD NOW ON THIRD
DOWN AND 7.
NEW YORK SEEKING ITS FIRST FIRST
DOWN.
AND THAT PASS IS CAUGHT AT THE
36-YARD LINE.
BUT WHAT A GREAT TACKLE!
DEDRIC WARD IS WRAPPED UP BY
PATRICK SURTAIN TO KEEP HIM
FROM PICKING UP THE FIRST DOWN.
>> IT'S THAT TIGHT BUMP-AND-RUN
COVERAGE OF THE DOLPHINS JUST
STUFFING THE RECEIVERS AFTER THE
CATCH.
SURTAIN IS NUMBER 23.
AND IT LOOKS REAL GOOD FOR WARD
ABOUT HERE.
BUT LOOK HOW QUICKLY SURTAIN
CLOSES AND GETS HELP FROM HIS
FRIENDS.
>> EARLY IN THE SEASON, THEY
WERE WONDERING IF EVERYTHING WAS
GONNA FUNNEL OVER TO SURTAIN
BECAUSE OF MADISON'S GROWING
ACUMEN, BUT WANNSTEDT TOLD US
SURTAIN'S MADE AS MANY BIG PLAYS
AS MADISON.
>> MEANWHILE, THE DOLPHINS
TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE
ON AND OFF THE FIELD.
AND IT LOOKED LIKE A FIRE DRILL.
IT LOOKED LIKE HALF THE TEAM WAS
ON THE FIELD TRYING TO GET OFF
THE FIELD, AND THE WHISTLE
SOUNDS, INDICATING TOO MANY GUYS
ON THE FIELD FOR MIAMI.
>> TIME-OUT.
>> OR TIME-OUT, MIAMI.
>> MIAMI.
>> HEADS-UP PLAY BY THE DOLPHINS
CALLING THIS TIME-OUT.
TRACE ARMSTRONG, 93, AND
RICH OWENS, 96, ARE GONNA BE
RUNNING TO THE SIDELINES HERE.
THEY GET OUT TO THE OUTSIDE.
THERE'S SURTAIN WITH THE HANDS,
CALLING TIME-OUT.
THAT SAVED THEM THAT FIRST DOWN.
>> IT'S LIKE ONE OF THOSE PLAYS
IN THE NBA WHEN SOMEBODY'S
FALLING OUT OF BOUNDS AND THEY
CALL TIME-OUT RIGHT BEFORE THEY
HIT THE FLOOR.
>> SURTAIN WITH TWO BIG PLAYS ON
THAT SERIES -- THAT TACKLE AND
THEN THE TIME-OUT TO SAVE WHAT
WOULD'VE BEEN A FIRST DOWN.
AS TUPA'S PUNT IS FIELDED BY
LESLIE SHEPHERD, THE GUY WHO
SCORED THE TOUCHDOWN FOR MIAMI.
ZACH THOMAS, WHO HAS THAT ANKLE
SPRAIN, WAS LIMITED IN PRACTICE
THIS WEEK.
GOT RETAPED.
MEANWHILE, JAY FIEDLER AND THE
OFFENSE TAKES OVER NOW AT THE
32.
BEEN A FIRST QUARTER DOMINATED
BY THE DOLPHINS.
AND THEY BEGIN ON THE GROUND
WITH SMITH CUTTING TO THE
OUTSIDE.
AND LAMAR SMITH HAS THE FIRST
DOWN AND THEN FINALLY -- IS
STILL ON HIS FEET!
HE WASN'T DRAGGED DOWN BY FROST!
HE'S GONNA GO ALL THE WAY!
HE BROKE A TACKLE BY
SCOTT FROST -- A WOULD-BE TACKLE
THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED A
TOUCHDOWN.
INSTEAD AL GROH IS STUNNED.
THE CROWD IS STUNNED.
HE JUST GOES 68 YARDS, AND THE
DOLPHINS LEAD 16-0, GOING ON 17.
>> THE BEAUTIFUL PART WAS HE
WENT AIRBORNE, AND AS SOON AS
HIS FEET HIT THE GROUND, THE
ACCELERATION WAS INCREDIBLE.
>> THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING RUN BY
LAMAR SMITH.
RICHMOND WEBB SAID THAT THE
OFFENSIVE LINE LOVES RUNNING FOR
THIS GUY BECAUSE HE'S PATIENT.
YOU KNOW, HE DOESN'T HAVE THE
GREATEST SPEED IN THE WORLD, BUT
HE CERTAINLY DID ON THIS PLAY AS
HE PULLS AWAY FROM SCOTT FROST
AND THEN OUTRUNS THE SECONDARY.
>> YOU KNOW, AL GROH IS SUCH A
MINUTE-DETAIL GUY.
YOU GOT TO WONDER IF GOING TO
MONDAY NIGHT HERE HAS THROWN
THESE GUYS OFF THEIR SCHWERVE A
LITTLE.
>> MARE FOR THE POINT AFTER.
WE HAVE PLAYED 11:51.
MIAMI HAS 205 TOTAL YARDS.
THE JETS HAVE 7.
>> HERE'S MARVIN JONES RIGHT
HERE.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE DOLPHINS HAVE
FIGURED OUT A WAY OF CONTROLLING
HIM.
HE'S GONNA BE TAKEN OUT OF THIS
PLAY AS SMITH SETS UP THE BLOCK
PERFECTLY.
GREAT PATIENCE THERE TO LET HIS
LINEMEN WORK IN FRONT OF HIM.
AND THEN HE PAYS IT OFF FOR
HIMSELF AND THAT OFFENSIVE LINE
BY TAKING IT IN.
>> ROBBIE KONRAD LAID A NICE
BLOCK ON THERE.
HE'S GOT A VENDETTA GOING
TONIGHT WHEN THEY QUESTION HIS
MANHOOD LIKE THAT.
I THOUGHT HE'D BE A PRETTY GOOD
BET TO KNOCK SOME HEADS.
>> HERE'S KEVIN WILLIAMS
BRINGING IT BACK TO THE 31-YARD
LINE.
>> DENNIS, YOU TALKED ABOUT WHEN
LAMAR SMITH HIT THE GROUND AFTER
LEAPING THROUGH.
AND NOW HE USES HIS STRENGTH TO
PULL AWAY FROM SCOTT FROST, WHO
JUST GETS A BIT OF A LEFT
SHOULDER -- NOT ENOUGH TO BRING
DOWN A GUY THAT WEIGHS 230.
THIS BLOCKING UP FRONT WAS JUST
OUTSTANDING.
>> UNFORTUNATELY, SCOTTY TACKLED
LIKE AN OLD QUARTERBACK THERE,
DIDN'T HE?
>> YEAH, HE DID, UNFORTUNATELY.
KEVIN DONNALLEY WITH A GREAT
BLOCK ON THE CORNER THERE.
BUT JUST SEE HOW HE STRUNG IT
OUT TO THE SIDELINE, LET HIS
LINE WORK, AND THEN CUT BACK.
>> SO THE JETS, DOWN BY 17,
3 MINUTES TO GO IN THE FIRST.
AND TESTAVERDE GOING TO THE AIR.
A LITTLE DUMP-OFF.
AND NOBODY'S HOME.
I THINK INTENDED FOR MARTIN, AND
DOWN HE GOES IN THE ARMS OF
TAYLOR.
SECOND DOWN AND 10.
TESTAVERDE GOING DEEP.
AND IT IS OFF THE FINGERTIPS OF
COLES, THE ROOKIE OUT OF
FLORIDA STATE.
LAVERANUES COLES.
AND IT'S THIRD DOWN.
>> THAT WAS TESTAVERDE'S BEST
PASS OF THE NIGHT.
HE'S OFF TO A TERRIBLE START.
>> MIGHT AS WELL RUN
LAVERANUES COLES ON THE FLY
PATTERN -- 4.19 40 TIME IN
COLLEGE.
THAT VIOLATES SOME LAW OF
PHYSICS, I THINK.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 10.
VINNY DUMPS IT OFF UNDERNEATH,
BUT GOING NOWHERE IS MARTIN.
HE'S TACKLED BY JEFFRIES.
AND THE JETS STILL DO NOT HAVE A
FIRST DOWN.
>> THIS FRONT FOUR GIVES GREAT
PRESSURE HERE, AND THAT ALLOWS
THE REST OF THE DEFENSE TO SIT
BACK AND TAKE AWAY TESTAVERDE'S
FIRST LOOK.
SO NOW HE'S SCRAMBLING AROUND.
HE FINDS MARTIN.
BUT THE SPEED OF JEFFRIES CLOSES
AND MAKES THE TACKLE WAY SHORT
OF THE FIRST DOWN.
>> HEY, ARMSTRONG'S GOT
10 SACKS.
I THINK JASON TAYLOR HAS SIX,
'CAUSE THEY GAVE HIM ONE ON THAT
OUT-OF-BOUNDS PLAY.
THESE GUYS ARE 265 AND 250, AND
THEY COME REALLY HARD.
>> HERE'S TUPA'S KICK.
FIELDED BY LESLIE SHEPHERD.
>> OOH.
>> AND SHEPHERD BRINGS IT BACK
TO THE 35-YARD LINE.
>> YEP.
>> FROM THE 35-YARD LINE.
FIRST DOWN.
AND THEY GIVE IT TO ROB KONRAD.
YOU KNOW, COMING INTO THE GAME,
MIAMI IN FIRST PLACE BECAUSE OF
ITS DEFENSE PREDOMINANTLY.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR OFFENSE.
IN THE MEANTIME, THEY HAVE NOW
RACKED UP MORE YARDAGE IN THE
FIRST QUARTER THAN ANY TEAM IN
ANY FIRST QUARTER IN THE NFL
THIS SEASON.
>> INCLUDING THE RAMS?
>> INCLUDING ANYBODY.
>> MAN.
>> 207 YARDS.
AND CHAN GAILEY, FOR THE LAST
TWO YEARS THE HEAD COACH OF THE
DALLAS COWBOYS, OF COURSE,
COMING OVER, CALLING THE PLAYS.
AND WITH THE RETIREMENT OF
MARINO AND CHAN COMING IN AND
FIEDLER AT QUARTERBACK, THEY'VE
BECOME MORE RUNNING-ORIENTED.
BUT YOU'D NEVER KNOW IT TONIGHT.
>> CHAN KEEPS THIS UP, HE'LL BE
ABLE TO AFFORD FULL GLASSES.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 8.
FIEDLER HAS THAT ONE TIPPED.
AND THAT'S INCOMPLETE.
TIPPED BY JAMES FARRIOR.
>> LET'S GET A REPORT FROM
MELISSA STARK.
>> AL, EARLIER TODAY
DAVE WANNSTEDT WAS OUT ON HIS
MORNING JOG AND HE CAME OVER
HERE TO GIANTS STADIUM AND
CHECKED OUT THE FIELD AND
CONFIRMED WHAT MANY OTHER TEAMS
HAD ALREADY TOLD HIM -- IT'S
VERY SOFT.
SO HE WENT BACK, TOLD HIS
PLAYERS HE WANTED THEM WEARING
LONGER CLEATS TONIGHT.
TYPICALLY THEY WEAR THESE
HALF-INCH CLEATS THAT ARE HERE
ON THE RIGHT.
THEY WEAR THESE HALF-INCH
CLEATS.
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.
AND TONIGHT THEY'RE WEARING
5/8-INCH CLEATS -- A LITTLE BIT
LONGER.
THE DIFFERENCE LOOKS
INSIGNIFICANT, BUT THE DOLPHINS
ARE HOPING IT MAKES A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCE IN THEIR
TRACTION.
>> SEE, HOW A HALF-INCH IS 4/8,
THEY'RE WEARING 5/8.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN EXTRA
EIGHTH.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 8.
[ WHISTLES BLOWING ]
FIEDLER.
AND A FLAG IS DOWN.
A FLAG WAS THROWN BECAUSE WE
HAVE A DELAY OF THE GAME IS THE
REASON.
SO THERE WAS NO PLAY TO BEGIN
WITH.
>> WELL, THE REF WAS GIVING ME
TIME TO EXPLAIN THAT EIGHTHS
THING.
>> DELAY, OFFENSE. 5 YARDS.
STILL THIRD DOWN.
>> YOU KNOW WHO THEIR
SECOND-LEADING RUSHER, BEHIND
LAMAR SMITH, IS?
IT'S THE QUARTERBACK,
JAY FIEDLER.
AND ALL 28 OF HIS RUNS SO FAR
THIS YEAR HAVE BEEN SCRAMBLE
PLAYS.
>> YOU KNOW, FIEDLER HAS
134 YARDS RUNNING THIS YEAR.
MARINO HAD 87 IN HIS ENTIRE
CAREER.
>> AMAZING.
>> SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
TRADE?
>> THIRD AND 13.
UNDER PRESSURE.
AND THE PASS IS INCOMPLETE.
HE TRIED TO GET IT OUT TO
THURMAN THOMAS.
AND THE PRESSURE WAS PUT ON BY
MO LEWIS.
>> REMEMBER WHEN WE SAW AL GROH
TALKING TO THE DEFENSE ON THE
SIDELINES?
THERE'S NOTHING QUITE LIKE THE
HEAD COACH COMING OVER AND
GIVING HIS TWO CENTS' WORTH.
WE SAW FARRIOR WITH THE PLAY ON
THE PLAY PREVIOUS, KNOCKING A
PASS DOWN.
HERE'S MO LEWIS WITH THE
PRESSURE.
THURMAN THOMAS LETS HIM GO
BECAUSE IT'S A SCREEN PASS.
>> ONE THING THE JETS HAVE BEEN
PROFICIENT AT THIS SEASON IS
COMING FROM BEHIND.
THEY DID IT AGAINST GREEN BAY.
THEY DID AGAINST NEW ENGLAND.
THEY DID IT ON THE ROAD AT
TAMPA BAY, AND THEY'LL HAVE TO
DO IT AGAIN TONIGHT, AS THE KICK
IS FIELDED AT THE 34-YARD LINE
BY DEDRIC WARD.
AS MATT TURK'S PUNT IS CRADLED
THERE.
TRICK PLAYS, OF COURSE, ARE IN
THE PLAYBOOK OF BOTH OF THESE
TEAMS.
A FIRST DOWN ON A RUN.
HE HAD A TREMENDOUS DAY, OF
COURSE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
BALL.
AND WE'LL PROBABLY SEE SOME OF
THAT TONIGHT.
BUT RIGHT NOW THEY JUST HAVE TO
FIGHT THEIR WAY BACK INTO THE
GAME, AS MARTIN IS TAKEN DOWN
AFTER A GAIN OF 1 BY
JERRY WILSON.
>> WELL, RIGHT NOW A TRICK PLAY
WOULD BE ANY ONE THAT GAINS
YARDAGE.
>> CURTIS MARTIN -- WE SAW THAT
PASS.
GO ALL THE WAY BACK -- OUR
MINISTER OF INFORMATION,
STEVE HURT, TELLING US IT WAS
ALL THE WAY BACK IN 1951 THAT
YOU HAD A T.D. PASS BY A RUNNING
BACK IN THE LAST 2 MINUTES.
DOAK WALKER DID IT.
>> WOW.
THAT STAT GAVE ME A MIGRAINE.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE.
IT WAS SO DEEP THAT MY HEAD
HURTS.
>> GO AHEAD. GET YOUR SPOT!
>> UH-OH.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 9.
>> THAT WAS THE VOICE I HEAR IN
MY HEAD ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
[ WHISTLES BLOWING ]
>> WALT COLEMAN WITH THE CALL.
"PRIOR TO THE SNAP, FALSE START,
74," IF YOU CAN LIP-READ.
THAT'S RYAN YOUNG.
>> IT'S LIKE THE ONLY GUY ON THE
FIELD WHO'S NOT MIKED IS THE
REF.
EVERYBODY ELSE I HEAR, LIKE
CRYSTAL-CLEAR.
>> THE ONE THING -- WE TALKED
ABOUT THOSE TRICK PLAYS AND
EVERYTHING, AL.
YOU CAN'T RUN TRICK PLAYS UNLESS
YOU'RE PERFORMING WELL IN ALL
OTHER PHASES OF THE GAME.
AND RIGHT NOW, THE JETS LOOK
AWFUL.
>> DAN HENNING.
>> YEP.
>> DAN HENNING, THE OFFENSIVE
COORDINATOR, TRYING TO GET HIS
UNIT ON TRACK.
AND THIS IS RICHIE ANDERSON.
HIS FIRST CARRY, AND THAT
DOESN'T GET THEM ON TRACK.
>> THE DOLPHINS HAVE ALLOWED
ONLY THREE TOUCHDOWNS ALL
SEASON.
VINNY TESTAVERDE SAYS HE KNOWS
THE DOLPHINS ARE GOOD ON
DEFENSE.
THEY CAN'T GET FRUSTRATED RIGHT
NOW.
HE KNOWS THAT THEY CAN COME
BACK.
BUT THIS IS THE LARGEST DEFICIT
THEY'VE HAD TO FACE THIS YEAR.
>> THIRD AND 17 AS THE SECOND
QUARTER BEGINS IN THE
MEADOWLANDS.
AND VINNY THROWS.
AND IT IS INTERCEPTED BY
SAM MADISON, THE PRO BOWL
CORNERBACK, AT THE NEW YORK
42-YARD LINE.
>> YOU GOT TO WONDER ABOUT
TESTAVERDE.
HE HAD THAT NERVE PROBLEM.
THIS IS ONLY HIS SIXTH GAME
COMING BACK AFTER THE ACHILLES
INJURY.
LAVERANUES COLES OUT HERE,
RUNNING TO THE INSIDE.
BUT THAT'S WHERE MADISON WAS TO
START WITH.
HE LET COLES GO TO THE OUTSIDE
KNOWING HE HAD HELP DEEP.
THIS IS JUST A SUPER JOB BY A
PRO BOWL CORNER, KNOWING THE
DEFENSE.
SEE, THAT WAS HIS HELP DEEP --
NUMBER 45 THERE.
>> AND THIS IS SMITH ON FIRST
DOWN.
SO ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL,
THEY CONTINUE TO DOMINATE AFTER
MADISON'S THIRD INTERCEPTION OF
THE SEASON.
AND THAT'S A FIRST DOWN TO THE
25-YARD LINE.
AND SMITH TONIGHT, WITH THAT
68-YARD TOUCHDOWN BURST, IS
ALREADY OVER 100 YARDS ON THE
GROUND.
THAT'S EIGHT CARRIES, 105 YARDS
FOR LAMAR SMITH.
>> TOTAL DOMINATION.
>> COREY DILLON'S NEW RECORD MAY
LAST A DAY.
THE 25-YARD LINE.
ROB KONRAD.
IF YOU MISSED IT, YESTERDAY
COREY DILLON OF THE BENGALS
ECLIPSED WALTER PAYTON'S
LONG-STANDING RECORD BY RUSHING
FOR 278 YARDS AGAINST DENVER.
>> AND AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, THIS
IS WHAT'S KILLING THE JETS RIGHT
NOW.
THEY'VE HAD JUST ABSOLUTELY NO
SUCCESS AT ALL ON OFFENSE.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 8.
FIEDLER THROWING FOR THE END
ZONE.
IT FLOATS, AND IT'S INCOMPLETE.
AND VERY UPSET WITH HIMSELF IS
MARCUS COLEMAN.
EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEEDED HERE
WAS A TURNOVER.
AND COLEMAN MISJUDGED WHEN THE
BALL CAME DOWN.
MIGHT HAVE HAD IT PICKED OFF
OTHERWISE.
>> YEAH, JAY FIEDLER GOT AWAY
WITH ONE HERE.
LOOK AT COLEMAN, 42.
HE'S GOT HIS EYE ON THE BALL
THE WHOLE WAY.
AND I THINK GADSDEN'S GONNA
INTERFERE WITH HIM RIGHT THERE.
THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN CALLED
OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE
AGAINST ORONDE GADSDEN.
LOOK AT GADSDEN GO INTO COLEMAN.
AND COLEMAN SHOWS THE HANDS OF A
DEFENSIVE BACK.
IF HE COULD CATCH, HE'D PROBABLY
BE PLAYING WIDE RECEIVER.
>> AND, DANNY, THE SAME
PASS-INTERFERENCE RULES APPLY
WHEN THE SITUATION INVERTS LIKE
THAT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
THIRD DOWN AND 8.
INSIDE HAND-OFF TO
THURMAN THOMAS.
BUT HE STUMBLES ON HIS WAY OUT
OF THE BACKFIELD.
AND THE LONGTIME BUFFALO BILL,
WHO PERPETUATES HIS CAREER BY
SIGNING WITH MIAMI AS A
THIRD-DOWN BACK, CAN'T GET ON
TRACK, AND THEY'LL HAVE TO
SETTLE FOR A MARE FIELD-GOAL
ATTEMPT OF ABOUT 42 TO 43 YARDS.
>> MARE DRILLS THIS, HE'S THE
MOST ACCURATE KICKER IN THE
HISTORY OF PRO FOOTBALL.
NEEDED 100.
THIS WOULD BE HIS 100th, AND
THIS WOULD PUT HIM UP AROUND
83%.
HE'D BE THE MOST ACCURATE TO
THIS POINT.
>> YOU HAVE TO MAKE 100.
SOME PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE TO
ATTEMPT 100.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE 100.
THIS WOULD BE NUMBER 100 FOR
HIM.
FROM 43 YARDS OUT.
RIGHT DOWN BROADWAY.
12:57 TO THE HALF.
WELL, MARE HAS NOW MADE
100 FIELD GOALS, AND THAT'S THE
MINIMUM REQUIRED.
THE HIGHEST FIELD-GOAL
PERCENTAGE IN HISTORY.
HOLLIS OF THE JAGUARS, THEN
JOHN CARNEY, THE LONGTIME
CHARGER.
STOVER'S STILL KICKING WITH
BALTIMORE.
TODD PETERSON WOULD BE FIFTH.
>> SEE, THAT GRAPHIC EXPLAINED
IT MUCH BETTER, AL.
I'M JUST PUMPED UP TONIGHT.
I'M YAKKING TOO MUCH.
BUT THAT GRAPHIC SHOWS YOU WHAT
I MEANT.
>> THAT'S KEVIN WILLIAMS
FIELDING IT AT THE 6-YARD LINE.
HE CAN ONLY GET IT TO THE
11-YARD LINE.
TESTAVERDE CAN'T GET ON TRACK.
BACKUP QUARTERBACK IS RAY LUCAS.
AND THE NUMBER-THREE QUARTERBACK
IS CHAD PENNINGTON, THE ROOKIE
FROM MARSHALL.
VINNY LOOKED GOOD THROWING THAT
ONE, EXCEPT IN TERMS OF HE
COULDN'T GET IT IN TO CHREBET,
WHO WAS DOUBLE-COVERED ON THE
PLAY.
SECOND DOWN AND 10.
>> IT JUST CONTINUES, AL.
THIS IS ILLEGAL PROCEDURE
AGAINST THE JETS.
TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET THE
FORMATION SET, AND THEY PROBABLY
DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MEN ON THE
LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AS THEY WENT
EMPTY IN THE BACKFIELD.
BUT YOU'RE SEEING POOR PLAY BY
THE OFFENSE.
IT'S INFECTING THE SPECIAL
TEAMS.
THEY HAD A TERRIBLE KICKOFF
RETURN THERE.
AND NOW THEY'RE GONNA BE BACKED
UP EVEN FURTHER.
>> ILLEGAL FORMATION ON THE
OFFENSE.
NUMBER 69 WAS THE END MAN ON THE
LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED.
SECOND DOWN.
>> I'M NOT SURE HE WANTS TO SEE
A LOT OF TIME THIS YEAR.
HE'S IN A PERFECT POSITION FOR A
RESTRICTED FREE AGENT AT THE END
OF THE YEAR, LIKE ROB JOHNSON.
THE LESS HE SHOWS, THE MORE --
>> HERE'S CURTIS MARTIN.
CAN'T GET ON TRACK.
>> THE LESS HE SHOWS, THE MORE
HE CAN BANK ON HIS POTENTIAL IN
THE OFF-SEASON AND GET A BIG
CONTRACT LIKE JOHNSON DID
WITHOUT HAVING TO PLAY MUCH.
>> YOU CAN TELL THE TYPE OF
START WE'RE SEEING IN THESE TWO
QUARTERBACKS.
JAY FIEDLER -- 113 YARDS PASSING
IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
>> GREW UP IN OCEANSIDE, DID
FIEDLER.
INTERESTING, AS YOU LOOK AT
HIM -- THERE'S AN UNDRAFTED GUY
GOING AGAINST A GUY WHO WAS THE
NUMBER-ONE PICK IN THE DRAFT.
VINNY SETS UP THE SCREEN.
RICHIE ANDERSON MAKES THE CATCH.
AND HE TAKES IT OUT TO THE
24-YARD LINE.
BUT HE DOESN'T GET THE FIRST
DOWN, AND THEY'RE FORCED TO PUNT
AGAIN.
>> AND, YOU KNOW, HE HESITATED
AFTER HE CAUGHT THE BALL.
HE WAS LOOKING FOR HIS BLOCKING.
BUT THIS PLAY WAS THE JETS' BEST
PLAY OF THE GAME.
SO WELL DESIGNED.
OUT IN FRONT, IT'S GONNA BE
FABINI, 69, HERE.
AND WATCH AFTER THE CATCH.
FABINI COMES BACK AND TAKES OUT
TAYLOR.
IT'S KEVIN MAWAE, 68, RATHER,
WHO'S OUT IN FRONT.
BUT THE HESITATION COST ANDERSON
AND THE JETS A FIRST DOWN.
>> THE JETS HAVE NOW HAD FIVE
POSSESSIONS.
FOUR HAVE BEEN THREE-AND-OUT.
THE OTHER ENDED WITH A
SAM MADISON PICK.
TUPA'S PUNT, A LINER.
>> THERE'S BANTA, 81.
AND HE SNAPPED, BUT A DOLPHIN
PLAYER FLOPPED.
DID THE ROPE-A-DOPE AND WENT
DOWN AFTER A LITTLE SHOVE.
>> IT'S A PERSONAL FOUL ON
BANTA.
AND ANOTHER ONE.
SO BOTH FLAGS -- INDEED THAT IS
CORRECT.
>> WELL, LET'S SEE IF IT WAS A
FLOP JOB OR LEGIT.
>> THERE'S THE FIRST PENALTY
THERE, AS HE PUSHES JERRY WILSON
AWAY, AND NOW --
>> WOW.
>> WE HAVE TWO PERSONAL FOULS.
A PERSONAL FOUL ON THE JETS,
NUMBER 81.
THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED.
WE HAVE ANOTHER PERSONAL FOUL ON
NUMBER 81 OF THE JETS.
THAT PENALTY WILL BE ACCEPTED.
15 YARDS.
>> AND THIS IS LAMAR SMITH ON
FIRST DOWN.
TAKING THE BALL ACROSS THE
50-YARD LINE TO THE NEW YORK 49.
>> YOU GOT TO GIVE IT TO
WANNSTEDT.
HE'S GOT THIS TEAM HONED TO A
FINE EDGE, AL.
THE LAST FOUR TIMES THE DOLPHINS
HAVE COME OFF A BYE, THEY LOST
THREE OF THE GAMES.
SO IT'S NOT THEIR REGULAR SCENE
TO SHOW UP AFTER A BYE.
BUT THEY LOOK SHARP AS YOU CAN
TONIGHT.
>> THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DAVE'S
HOME STADIUM IN 1993.
WHEN RAY HANDLEY WAS FIRED BY
THE NEW YORK GIANTS,
TOM COUGHLIN WAS THE NUMBER-ONE
CHOICE.
DECLINED IT.
AND WANNSTEDT HAD HIS CHOICE
BETWEEN THE GIANTS JOB OR THE
BEARS JOB AND CHOSE CHICAGO.
AND DAN REEVES WOUND UP WITH THE
GIANTS JOB.
AS THIS IS LAMAR SMITH TO THE
45-YARD LINE.
DAVE, THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
UNDER JIMMY JOHNSON.
THIRD DOWN AND 4 FROM THE
45-YARD LINE.
FIEDLER PUMP-FAKES.
WIDE OPEN AND MAKING THE CATCH
IS GADSDEN!
AND THEN FROST GETS OVER THERE
TO SAVE THE TOUCHDOWN!
>> WOW.
>> THERE'S SAFETY HELP, AND THEN
THERE'S SAFETY HELP THE NEXT
WEEK.
>> SHEPHERD IS 84.
GADSDEN RIGHT HERE.
ACTUALLY, IT'S THURMAN THOMAS.
THEY FAKE THE QUICK SCREEN TO
THE OUTSIDE.
AGAIN A WELL-DESIGNED PLAY, AS
THEY JUST FOOLED THE JETS WITH
THE FAKE SCREEN TO THE OUTSIDE.
AND LOOK AT THAT CATCH BY
GADSDEN.
GADSDEN'S HAVING A HECK OF A
DAY -- FOUR CATCHES NOW,
89 YARDS.
AND FIEDLER PUTS ANOTHER ONE
RIGHT ON HIS FINGERTIPS.
>> FROM THE 16 WITH THE CROWD IN
STUNNED SILENCE.
SMITH. HE GETS TAKEN DOWN.
AND BRYAN COX TURNS IN THAT
PLAY.
AND LET'S CHECK IN WITH
MELISSA STARK.
>> AL, TONIGHT IS THE SECOND
TIME THAT JAY FIEDLER AND
AL GROH HAVE MET.
THE FIRST TIME WAS TWO YEARS
AGO.
FIEDLER WAS 26 YEARS OLD.
HE WAS AN OUT-OF-WORK
QUARTERBACK STRUGGLING TO MAKE
IT IN THE NFL.
GROH WAS AN ASSISTANT WITH THE
JETS, AND HE TALKED TO FIEDLER
AS A FAVOR.
AND HERE'S WHAT HE TOLD HIM.
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE REALISTIC.
NO ONE'S SEEN YOU PLAY IN TWO
YEARS.
PERHAPS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS
GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS OF PLAYING
IN THE NFL AND PUT THAT
DARTMOUTH EDUCATION TO GOOD
USE."
WELL, FIEDLER KNOWS THAT GROH
MEANT WELL, BUT OBVIOUSLY HE
DIDN'T LIKE WHAT HE SAID.
AND FIEDLER SAYS THAT THAT
CONVERSATION WAS A TURNING POINT
IN HIS CAREER.
>> WELL, HE PERSEVERED.
HE TOSSES THIS ONE BACK TO
KONRAD.
TO THE 18-YARD LINE.
YOU LOOK AT A KID LIKE FIEDLER.
HE'S AN UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT.
HE SITS ON THE BENCH AT
PHILADELPHIA IN '94, '95,
AND '96.
HE PLAYS WITH AMSTERDAM IN THE
WORLD LEAGUE IN '97.
THEN A BACKUP IN MINNESOTA AND
JACKSONVILLE IN '98 AND '99.
>> YOU GOT THREE QUARTERBACKS
STARTING IN THE NFL -- OR YOU
DID TILL YESTERDAY, WHEN WARNER
WENT OUT -- WHO WERE UNDRAFTED
COMING OUT OF COLLEGE.
IT'S FIEDLER, KURT WARNER, AND
JEFF GARCIA.
SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD START
LOOKING FOR GUYS AFTER THE
SEVENTH ROUND TO LEAD YOUR TEAM.
>> UPDATE ON WARNER, BY THE
WAY -- THE BROKEN PINKIE.
A COUPLE OF PINS WILL PROBABLY
BE PUT IN TOMORROW, AND THEY
HOPE TO HAVE HIM BACK IN FOUR
WEEKS.
MEANWHILE, IT'S TRENT GREEN.
THIRD DOWN AND 12.
FIEDLER THROWING.
AND IT'S KNOCKED DOWN AS
AARON GLENN GOES OVER THE BACK
OF LESLIE SHEPHERD TO KNOCK IT
DOWN.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
E.D. LIKED IT, DIDN'T HE?
>> YEAH. ERIC IS RIGHT THERE.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
AARON GLENN SHOULD'VE
INTERCEPTED THIS PASS.
IT WAS FLOATING OUT THERE FOR A
LONG TIME.
I'M SURE THAT'S WHAT ERIC TOLD
AARON GLENN -- "MAN, YOU
SHOULD'VE PICKED THAT ONE OFF."
HERE HE IS.
WATCH HOW LONG THIS BALL IS IN
THE AIR, AND LOOK AT -- WHEN A
DEFENSIVE BACK CAN GET TWO HANDS
ON THE BALL TO KNOCK IT DOWN,
USE THOSE TWO HANDS TO CATCH THE
BALL!
>> WE GOT TO SEE HIM HUG E.D.
IT'S COOL.
>> MEANWHILE, YOU HAVE MARE, A
36-YARD ATTEMPT.
IF HE MISSES IT, HOLLIS HAS THE
RECORD BACK.
AND HE DOES!
THE NEW YORK JETS HAVE THE BALL
AT THEIR OWN 26-YARD LINE.
STILL SEEKING A FIRST DOWN.
THEY'RE DOWN 20-0.
AND TESTAVERDE THROWS.
AND THAT'S OFF THE FINGERTIPS OF
THE TIGHT END, FRED BAXTER.
SECOND DOWN AND 10 FROM THE
26-YARD LINE.
CHREBET IN MOTION.
IT IS CAUGHT UP AT THE 34-YARD
LINE BY CURTIS MARTIN, BUT HE'S
SHY OF THE FIRST DOWN.
THE JETS NOW FINALLY HAVE MORE
YARDAGE ON OFFENSE THAN THEY
HAVE IN PENALTIES.
>> WELL, OLINDO MARE LEFT THE
DOOR OPEN A SKOSH HERE.
THEY GOT TO KICK THE CHAIN LOCK
IN NOW.
DEFINITELY NEED SOME POINTS
HERE.
VINNY VIDI VICI.
COME ON. GET US A GAME, BABE.
>> THEY NEED A FIRST DOWN FOR
STARTERS.
THIRD DOWN AND 1.
>> CURTIS MARTIN.
BEST FIRST-DOWN GUY IN THE GAME.
>> ANDERSON IS THE BLOCKING
BACK.
>> POUND IT.
>> THEY GIVE IT TO ANDERSON, AND
HE GETS THE FIRST DOWN.
THEY'LL TAKE IT ANY WAY THEY CAN
GET IT.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
AND THE BRONX CHEER IN
NEW JERSEY.
SO IT TAKES 23 MINUTES, BUT THE
JETS FINALLY MOVE THE CHAINS.
>> CAN YOU STILL GIVE THE BRONX
CHEER IN JERSEY?
>> YES, YOU CAN.
SECAUCUS CHEER.
>> YEAH. ANNOTATE THAT.
>> I CAME HERE THROUGH THE
PANAMA CANAL, BY THE WAY,
TONIGHT.
MY LIMO DRIVER HAD A UNIQUE
ROUTE.
>> FIRST AND 10 FROM THE 39-YARD
LINE.
ANDERSON ON THE LITTLE TOSS BACK
TO MARTIN.
SO A LITTLE TRICKERY.
AND MARTIN DEEP INTO DOLPHIN
TERRITORY.
TO THE 27-YARD LINE.
BRIAN WALKER MAKES THE TACKLE.
>> YEAH.
LET'S GET A GAME GOING HERE.
CHREBET WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY
TO CLOCK.
DID YOU SEE HIM COMING?
>> THEY GET THE FIRST DOWN WITH
ANDERSON, AND NOW THEY SHOW HIS
VERSATILITY AS HE USES THE OLD
OPTION PLAY TO GET MARTIN DOWN
THE FIELD.
WE TALKED ABOUT AL GROH AND
DAN HENNING AND HOW MUCH THEY
LIKE TO GO WITH THESE
SITUATIONALLY APPROPRIATE PLAYS.
>> AND AT THE 27-YARD LINE AFTER
A 34-YARD GAIN, WITH 5:40 TO GO
IN THE FIRST HALF.
VINNY GIVES IT TO MARTIN.
AND HERE THEY GO AGAIN ON AN END
AROUND TO DWIGHT STONE.
AND A FLAG COMES IN AS STONE
GETS BANGED HARD AT THE 22 BY
BRIAN WALKER AND JERMAINE HALEY.
>> THEY'RE GONNA GET KEVIN MAWAE
FOR AN ILLEGAL BLOCK.
JETS GOING WITH TWO TRICK PLAYS
IN A ROW.
BUT AGAIN THEY'RE THEIR OWN
WORST ENEMY.
MAWAE IS THE CENTER, AND AFTER
THE REVERSE, CHECK HIM OUT.
VINNY WITH THE NICE BLOCK ON
TAYLOR.
>> HOLDING. 68, OFFENSE.
10 YARDS. REPEAT FIRST DOWN.
>> MAWAE WAS HOLDING ON
SAM MADISON.
THAT'S KIND OF A MISMATCH OUT
THERE AS FAR AS QUICKNESS IS
CONCERNED.
>> WOW.
WHEN MAWAE KNOCKS YOU
UNCONSCIOUS, THE LAST THING YOU
SEE IS THAT CRUCIFIX ON HIS
FACE MASK.
>> I WAS THINKING THE SAME
THING.
>> LOOKS LIKE A HOOD ORNAMENT.
>> LAST RITES.
>> AMEN.
>> WELL, THEY GOT AROUND THE
AMEN CORNER ON THAT ONE.
SORRY. I HAD TO SAY IT.
IT'S BAD. I TAKE IT BACK.
I DIDN'T EVEN MEAN IT.
THERE'S ONLY 25 MILLION PEOPLE.
EVERYBODY ACT LIKE YOU DIDN'T
HEAR IT.
>> FIRST DOWN AND 16.
AND THAT IS DROPPED BY
LAVERANUES COLES AT THE 22-YARD
LINE.
>> LAVERANUES.
WHAT A MOMENTUM BREAKER.
YOU GOT TO HANG ON.
>> TESTAVERDE IS UNDER A LOT OF
PRESSURE ON THIS PLAY.
THE DOLPHINS ELECT TO USE ONE
OF THEIR RARE BLITZES.
THEY SENT EVERYBODY RIGHT UP THE
MIDDLE.
WATCH THE BLITZ.
THERE'S THOMAS COMING.
ROBERT JONES.
IT'S WELL PICKED UP.
AND THIS BALL IS PERFECTLY
THROWN TO LAVERANUES COLES.
THE ROOKIE CAN'T MAKE THE CATCH,
OR THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A HUGE
PLAY FOR THE JETS, WHO NEED A
HUGE PLAY.
>> HE KEEPS DROPPING BALLS LIKE
THAT, HE'S GONNA HAVE TO USE
THAT 4.19 40 SPEED TO RUN AWAY
FROM AL GROH AT THE HALFTIME.
>> SECOND AND 16.
FLAG.
VINNY THROWS DEEP.
AND A DIVING CHREBET CANNOT HAUL
IT IN AT THE 5-YARD LINE.
>> WOULDN'T HAVE COUNTED ANYWAY.
THE JETS HAD ANOTHER ILLEGAL
FORMATION.
>> THEY DID.
SO GROH WILL WATCH HIS TEAM LOSE
MORE YARDAGE.
>> ILLEGAL FORMATION, OFFENSE.
69 WAS THE END MAN ON THE LINE.
PENALTY IS DECLINED.
THIRD DOWN.
>> AND IT'S A GOOD THING CHREBET
 DIDN'T MAKE THE CATCH THERE,
BECAUSE IT WOULD'VE BEEN WASTED.
>> DANNO, NEXT TIME THAT ILLEGAL
FORMATION HAPPENS, YOU GOT TO
BREAK IT DOWN AND SHOW IT TO ME,
'CAUSE I NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 16.
AND THAT IS JERALD SOWELL WHO
GETS TAKEN DOWN, TO THE
CASCADING BOOS FROM THIS CROWD
OF MORE THAN 75,000.
>> TRYING TO OUTGUESS THE
DOLPHIN DEFENSE.
LET'S GO BACK, DENNIS.
I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT EXACTLY
HAPPENED FOR THE JETS.
LAVERANUES COLES IS RIGHT HERE.
HE'S GOT TO BE UP ON THE LINE OF
SCRIMMAGE.
HE'S NOT.
MARTIN COMES BACK IN MOTION.
AND THIS IS FABINI.
HE IS THE LAST MAN ON THE LINE
OF SCRIMMAGE.
SO THIS IS A ROOKIE MISTAKE BY
LAVERANUES COLES.
TWICE NOW IN THE GAME, HE HAS
FAILED TO LINE UP ON THE LINE OF
SCRIMMAGE.
>> AND THE TWO PENALTIES TOOK
THEM OUT OF FIELD-GOAL RANGE.
SO TUPA HAS TO PUNT.
AND IT IS DOWNED INSIDE THE 10.
MIAMI WILL TAKE OVER AT THE
8-YARD LINE.
SO 4:15 LEFT IN AN OPENING HALF.
MIAMI HAS IT AT THE 8-YARD LINE.
4:15 REMAINING IN THE FIRST
HALF.
DOLPHINS LEADING 20-0.
AND THIS IS SMITH.
LAMAR UP TO THE 11.
WHEN THEY PICKED UP SMITH FROM
NEW ORLEANS, DAVE WANNSTEDT DID
NOT THINK OF HIM AS A FEATURE
BACK.
THEY HAD J.J. JOHNSON, A GUY
THAT HAS BEEN INACTIVE FOR A
COUPLE OF GAMES THIS YEAR.
PLAYING TONIGHT.
BUT LAMAR SMITH, GETTING AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY EVERY DAY,
HAS DONE A VERY GOOD JOB.
>> AND THEY'RE WEARING OUT THE
RIGHT SIDE OF THEIR OFFENSE,
THE JETS' DEFENSIVE LEFT SIDE.
HE'S ALREADY OVER 100 YARDS, AND
I WOULD BET YOU THAT 90% OF HIS
YARDS ARE OFF THAT RIGHT SIDE.
>> SO HE HAD A BIG OPENING GAME.
NOT A LOT SINCE.
AND TONIGHT A BIG GAME, UNTIL
MARVIN JONES SAYS, "ENOUGH
ALREADY."
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, THE DOLPHINS
IN THE PAST, WHEN THEY'VE
STARTED HOT, OFTEN FOLD LIKE ONE
OF THOSE RAZOR SCOOTERS THAT
YOUR KID'S RIDING AROUND ON.
BUT JASON TAYLOR SAID LAST
YEAR'S 5-1 START, HE DIDN'T EVEN
BELIEVE IN IT.
BUT THIS YEAR IT FEELS SOLID,
DOESN'T IT?
I MEAN, EVERY UNIT LOOKS LIKE
THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF TALENT
HERE.
>> IT FEELS SOLID AFTER
TONIGHT -- OR AT LEAST TO THIS
POINT TONIGHT.
>> I KNOW THE OFFENSE WASN'T
QUITE CLICKING, BUT I THINK
WANNSTEDT WAS GETTING WHAT HE
WANTED OUT OF IT IN THE FIRST
SIX GAMES, WHICH IS A SYNERGY
WITH THE DEFENSE -- KEEPING THEM
OFF THE FIELD.
YOU ADD IN A PASSING ATTACK,
YOU'RE LOOKING AT A TEAM THAT'S
GONNA GO FAR IN THE PLAYOFFS.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> FIEDLER HANDS THE BALL.
AND THAT'S THOMAS SLIPPING
AGAIN.
SO THURMAN THOMAS, ON HIS LAST
TWO CARRIES, HAS BEEN UNABLE TO
GET OUT OF THE BACKFIELD.
>> THAT WAS A GREAT PLAY BY
SHANE BURTON, KNIFING IN THERE
AND GETTING THOMAS BEFORE HE CAN
GET STARTED.
THAT'S WHAT THE JETS NEED.
>> FOURTH DOWN.
FOURTH AND 10 FROM THE 7-YARD
LINE.
DEDRIC WARD IS BACK TO RECEIVE
THE KICK.
DOLPHINS TAKING AS MUCH TIME OFF
THE PLAY CLOCK AS THEY CAN.
MATT TURK, THE EX-REDSKIN.
GOOD, DEEP, BOOMING KICK.
WARD AT THE 40-YARD LINE.
HAS A LITTLE BIT OF ROOM, AND
IT'S AN 11-YARD RUNBACK, TO THE
49 OF THE DOLPHINS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
THERE'S LAMAR SMITH, WITH
109 YARDS.
CURTIS MARTIN TONIGHT -- GOOD
AVERAGE, BUT HE'S ONLY BEEN ABLE
TO CARRY THE BALL FIVE TIMES.
THE DOLPHINS HAVE DOMINATED THE
GAME.
THEY'VE HAD THE BALL 17 MINUTES
TO THE JETS' 10.
FIRST AND 10.
AND THAT IS INTERCEPTED BY
PATRICK SURTAIN!
WHAT A NIGHT FOR HIM.
>> GOT TO GO TO THE BULLPEN, I
THINK, HERE.
>> PATRICK SURTAIN.
BIG FIRST-DOWN-SAVING TACKLE
EARLY.
THE APPROPRIATE TIME-OUT CALLED
TO SAVE ANOTHER FIRST DOWN.
NOW A PICK.
>> AND REALLY TESTAVERDE HAS NO
BUSINESS THROWING THIS BALL.
SURTAIN PLAYS THAT PERFECTLY.
LOCATES THE BALL AND THEN
SNATCHES IT OUT OF THE AIR.
AND THE JETS, WITH GREAT FIELD
POSITION, THROW IT RIGHT BACK TO
THE DOLPHINS WITH THE SECOND
INTERCEPTION OF THE NIGHT BY
TESTAVERDE, WHO REALLY LOOKS OUT
OF SYNC.
AND THE WAY HE LOOKS IS KIND OF
INFECTING THE ENTIRE TEAM.
THEY'RE SLOW.
THEY'RE MAKING MENTAL MISTAKES.
AND NOW THEY'RE TURNING OVER THE
BALL TO THE DOLPHINS.
>> I'M NOT SAYING THIS TO BE
MEAN, BUT HAVEN'T I HEARD IN THE
PAST THE VINNY TESTAVERDE IS
COLOR-BLIND?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT?
>> YES.
>> THAT PLAY LOOKED LIKE IT
WOULD BEAR THAT OUT.
>> YOU CAN STILL SEE SHADES,
THOUGH, AND YOU SEE THE
DARKER-SHADE JERSEY.
THAT'S THE ONE YOU WANT TO THROW
TO.
>> JUST TRYING TO HELP MY MAN
VINNY.
>> FROM THE 10-YARD LINE ON
FIRST DOWN.
THAT'S DROPPED.
AND THAT'S THURMAN THOMAS.
SO THURMAN'S BEEN SLIPPING AND
SLIDING AND DROPPING FOOTBALLS.
VERY UN-THURMANLIKE.
>> YEAH.
THURMAN JUST NEEDS 88 YARDS OR
SO TO PASS FRANCO HARRIS TO MOVE
INTO EIGHTH PLACE.
>> ON SECOND AND 10, THEY GIVE
THE BALL TO THOMAS.
AND THURMAN THIS TIME TAKES IT
UP TO THE 15-YARD LINE.
THAT TAKES US TO THE 2-MINUTE
WARNING.
>> JASON TAYLOR.
>> YOU SPENT $45 TO COME WATCH
ME PLAY.
>> HE'S OUR GUY WHO'S MIKED UP.
WE'LL HEAR FROM HIM AT THE HALF.
2 MINUTES LEFT IN THE HALF.
AND ON A QUARTERBACK DRAW, THAT
IS FIEDLER TAKING IT UP TO THE
18-YARD LINE.
BUT IT'S FOURTH DOWN AND 2.
MO LEWIS MAKES THE TACKLE.
DEDRIC WARD FAIR-CATCHING A PUNT
BY TURK, A 35-YARD KICK, WITH
1:44 REMAINING IN THE FIRST
HALF.
AND THE GRIM FIGURES FOR
VINNY TESTAVERDE TONIGHT.
>> THIS IS A MISERABLE NIGHT NOT
ONLY FOR TESTAVERDE BUT FOR THIS
ENTIRE JET TEAM SO FAR.
>> WELL, WE'VE GOT TO FAN THE
EMBER HERE.
WE NEED A SCORE TO GET US INTO
THE SECOND HALF.
>> THERE YOU GO.
>> FROM THE 47-YARD LINE.
VINNY WHEELING AND THEN HITS
ANDERSON.
AND ANDERSON IS TAKEN DOWN BY
MARION AND OUT OF BOUNDS TO SAVE
A TIME-OUT AT THE 41-YARD LINE.
AND A FIRST DOWN.
>> THAT'S IT. A LITTLE RHYTHM.
THAT'S A NICE RHYTHM PLAY.
GET SOME RHYTHM GOING HERE.
FLICK THAT JAB.
>> THE SCREEN HAS BEEN GOOD TO
THE JETS TONIGHT.
THAT WAS WELL EXECUTED BY
TESTAVERDE, FAKING TO THE LEFT.
BIG RANDY THOMAS GOT OUT IN
FRONT OF ANDERSON AND GOT HIM
DOWN THE SIDELINES.
NOW IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
TESTAVERDE TO JUST MANAGE THE
BALL DOWN THE FIELD.
DON'T TRY TO FORCE ANYTHING.
THESE CORNERS ARE TOO GOOD TO
TRY TO GET THEM DEEP.
>> FROM THE 40-YARD LINE.
FOUR-MAN RUSH.
AND THEY GIVE IT TO MARTIN.
HE TAKES IT TO THE 32-YARD LINE.
[ WHISTLES BLOWING ]
ALTERCATION.
THAT, FOR THE MOMENT, STOPS THE
CLOCK.
THE JETS DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A
TIME-OUT.
THE CLOCK RESTARTS.
THEY CONSERVE THEIR TWO
TIME-OUTS.
AND ON SECOND AND 2, TESTAVERDE
OUT OF THE GUN.
GOING TO THE CORNER.
AND IT'S FLICKED AWAY.
DOUBLE COVERAGE.
BUT A PENALTY MARKER ON THE PASS
INTENDED FOR COLES.
>> GONNA GET BRIAN WALKER FOR AN
ILLEGAL HIT ON A DEFENSELESS
PLAYER.
COLES HAD NO SHOT AT CATCHING
THIS BALL, AND WALKER CAME IN
HEAD-HIGH, TRYING TO TAKE COLES'
HEAD OFF.
>> WALKER ALMOST TOOK MARTIN'S
HEAD OFF ON THE PREVIOUS PLAY.
>> THIS WILL BE A 15-YARDER.
TESTAVERDE TRYING TO FORCE ONE
DOWN THE FIELD, DEEP ON THE FADE
TO COLES.
>> PERSONAL FOUL.
UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS, 45 OF THE
DEFENSE -- HITTING A DEFENSELESS
RECEIVER.
15 YARDS. FIRST DOWN.
>> LOOKS LIKE VINNY'S GOING INTO
SOME OF THESE PLAYS WITH AN
AGENDA AND HE'S NOT GONNA
DEVIATE IT, EVEN IF THERE'S
DOUBLE COVERAGE.
THERE ARE THOSE NIGHTS WHERE HE
PICKS UP THE SECOND RECEIVER.
TONIGHT HE'S JUST LOOKING THE
ONE -- OOH.
>> THERE'S THE SHOT BY WALKER.
MADISON ACTUALLY GOT A HAND ON
THE BALL.
IT'S GONNA BE 15 YARDS FROM THE
PREVIOUS SPOT.
>> AND THAT MOVES IT TO THE
17-YARD LINE.
>> JUST LOOKS A LITTLE LOCKED
ON, YOU KNOW, DAN?
>> YOU'RE RIGHT, DENNIS.
WHEN YOU SEE BUMP-AND-RUN,
YOU'RE THINKING, "THROW THE
FADE," WHICH IS THE ONE DOWN THE
SIDELINES.
BUT WHAT HE'S NOT SEEING ARE THE
SAFETIES.
PLUS, HIS RECEIVERS ARE NOT
NECESSARILY BLOWING BY MADISON
AND SURTAIN.
>> THE DOLPHIN DEFENSE HAS
ALLOWED THREE TOUCHDOWNS ALL
SEASON.
THAT'S 6 1/2 GAMES.
HERE'S MARTIN.
NO.
TOOK A PITCH GOING RIGHT, CAME
BACK THE OTHER WAY, AND
ROBERT JONES SAID, "YOU DIDN'T
FOOL ME."
TIME-OUT, NEW YORK.
1:02 REMAINING IN THE HALF.
ONE TIME-OUT LEFT FOR THE
NEW YORK JETS.
THE FEWEST TOUCHDOWNS ALLOWED IN
THE FIRST SIX GAMES -- THE
PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS IN '70,
ATLANTA IN '77, AND THESE GUYS.
SECOND AND 11 FROM THE 18-YARD
LINE.
TESTAVERDE THROWING.
ANDERSON MAKES THE CATCH.
STARTED TO STUMBLE.
KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS BY JONES
AT THE 11-YARD LINE.
>> PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS DOESN'T
SHOCK ME ON THAT GRAPHIC.
BUT WHO THE HECK WAS PLAYING FOR
ATLANTA IN '77?
CLAUDE HUMPHREY, MAYBE, OR WHO
WAS IT?
>> UNBELIEVABLE.
LEEMAN BENNETT WAS THE COACH.
>> NOBIS, I GUESS.
>> I THINK TOMMY WOULD HAVE BEEN
THERE AT THAT TIME.
>> TESTAVERDE FINALLY GETS SOME
TIME TO THROW.
THE OFFENSIVE LINE, AFTER THE
PLAY FAKE, LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
AND HE'S JUST REALLY GUIDING
THAT BALL OUT TO
RICHIE ANDERSON.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 4.
HUGE PLAY FOR THE JETS AS THEY
TRY TO GET BACK INTO THE GAME
SOMEHOW, SOME WAY.
AND TESTAVERDE THROWS.
AND DOES IT!
HITS CHREBET. TOUCHDOWN.
>> MONEY TIME.
GO TO YOUR MONEY GUY.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> AND THE JETS WIND UP WITH
GOOD FIELD POSITION AFTER THE
PUNT.
THEY GO 53 YARDS RAPIDLY.
>> AND BRIAN WALKER'S
UNNECESSARY-ROUGHNESS PENALTY
COST THE DOLPHINS.
WAYNE CHREBET'S FIRST CATCH OF
THE NIGHT.
HE MAKES IT A BIG ONE.
>> CHREBET'S FOURTH TOUCHDOWN OF
THE SEASON.
JOHN HALL FOR THE EXTRA POINT.
AND THE JETS, AFTER A MISERABLE
FIRST 28 MINUTES, GET BACK INTO
THE GAME.
>> STICK AROUND, FOLKS.
WE GOT A GAME.
IF WE DON'T, WE'RE GONNA GET
FREAKY IN THE SECOND HALF.
>> [ CHUCKLES ] FREAKY ANYWAY.
>> EITHER WAY, YOU DON'T LOSE.
>> OH, I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT
THAT.
>> NO, NO. THIS IS A BIG GAME.
I SMELL THIS GAME.
GROH WILL NOT LET THESE GUYS DIE
ON HIM.
>> THIS IS A GREAT PASS BY
TESTAVERDE.
NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE
DELIVERY POINT THAT TIME.
HE REALLY CAME OVER THE TOP.
THREW THE BALL UP HIGH FOR A
REAL SHORT GUY -- 5'10".
GREAT ROUTE, THOUGH.
GOT INSIDE OF WALKER BEFORE
MARION COULD GET OVER AND MAKE
THE CLOSE.
>> IF YOU WERE A YOUNG GUY IN
YOUR 20s, WOULD YOU WANT TO RUN
OUT ON THE FIELD WITH A FLAG
LIKE THAT?
OH, SORRY.
>> ARE YOU ASKING ME OR AL?
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN I WAS 20.
>> JETS TO KICK OFF WITH
53 SECONDS.
BROCK MARION AND LESLIE SHEPHERD
BACK TO RECEIVE FOR THE
DOLPHINS.
AND NOW J.J. JOHNSON DROPS BACK
INSTEAD OF SHEPHERD.
>> J-E-T-S!
JETS! JETS! JETS!
>> TOWARD THE CORNER.
AND OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 8-YARD
LINE.
OF ALL THINGS, IT'LL GIVE THE
BALL TO MIAMI AT THE 40.
FROM THE 40-YARD LINE.
FIRST DOWN.
FIEDLER THROWS.
AND THAT'S INCOMPLETE UP AT THE
44-YARD LINE.
>> GEORGIE, YOU'D BETTER WORK ON
THE AVERAGES OVER THERE IF MARE
MAKES ANOTHER ONE.
GET THE CALCULATOR OUT.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 10 FROM THE
40-YARD LINE.
FIEDLER.
HE'S GONNA SCRAMBLE.
AND HE GETS THE FIRST DOWN.
AND HE GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO
THE NEW YORK 45.
AND NOW THEY CAN TAKE A
TIME-OUT.
[ WHISTLES BLOWING ]
>> IF THAT DOESN'T EPITOMIZE HOW
POORLY THE JETS ARE PLAYING
TONIGHT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES.
FIEDLER WAS 3 YARDS SHORT OF THE
FIRST DOWN WHEN THE FIRST JET
GOT HIM.
REMEMBER, THIS IS A QUARTERBACK,
NOW.
HE'S NOT AS BIG AS
DAUNTE CULPEPPER, BUT I THINK
HIS HEART IS.
WATCH HIM LOWER HIS HEAD HERE,
RUN THROUGH VICTOR GREEN, WHO'S
A GREAT TACKLER, AND THEN TAKE
ON A COUPLE OF DEFENSIVE BACKS.
IT TAKES FIVE JETS TO BRING HIM
DOWN!
>> FIEDLER NOW WITH ONE TIME-OUT
AT HIS DISPOSAL.
BALL AT THE 46-YARD LINE.
TRYING TO GET AT LEAST INTO
FIELD-GOAL RANGE.
AND THAT IS HAULED IN, AND A
FIRST DOWN AT THE 34, BY
ORONDE GADSDEN.
>> AND RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE RIGHT
ABOUT 50 YARDS AWAY FOR MARE.
>> AND THEY WANT TO CONSERVE
THEIR TIME-OUT.
>> OH, IT'S TAKING FOREVER FOR
THE REFEREES TO GET THE BALL ON
THE FIELD!
>> LOOK AT THIS.
THEY'RE READY, AND BY THE TIME
THEY GET THE BALL BACK IN THERE,
IT COSTS THEM ANOTHER
10 SECONDS.
AND NOW IT IS CAUGHT.
AND THIS THOMAS, WHO GETS OUT OF
BOUNDS WITH 8 SECONDS REMAINING.
BUT IT TOOK AN INORDINATELY LONG
PERIOD OF TIME FOR THE OFFICIALS
TO GET THE BALL READY FOR PLAY.
THURMAN, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I AGREE WITH YOU.
WELL, THAT'S ENOUGH ALREADY.
>> AND THAT WAS NOT DENNIS.
[ Laughing ] THAT WAS
THURMAN THOMAS.
YOU THROW TO THE GUY THAT'S
GONNA MAKE THE PLAY TO GET OUT
OF BOUNDS, BUT THAT WAS
INEXCUSABLE BY THE OFFICIALS,
NOT HAVING THE BALL SET.
DOLPHINS WOULD'VE HAD ANOTHER
PLAY.
>> WE NEED MORE MIKES ON THE
FIELD.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> 44-YARD FIELD-GOAL ATTEMPT
HERE FOR OLINDO MARE.
HUARD TO HOLD.
AND MARE'S KICK IS...GOOD.
JUST GOOD.
SO WITH 2 SECONDS REMAINING IN
THE FIRST HALF, THE
MIAMI DOLPHINS NOW ON TOP BY A
SCORE OF 23-7.
23-7, MIAMI ON TOP.
AND MARE WILL SEND A GROUND BALL
TO THE 31-YARD LINE.
>> WOW.
>> A LITTLE TOSS-BACK HERE.
>> IT'S LIKE
CALIFORNIA-STANFORD.
>> THIS IS COLES.
TACKLED AT THE 33-YARD LINE.
[ CROWD BOOING ]
AND THE CROWD A VERY DISGRUNTLED
CROWD, AS THE NEW YORK JETS HEAD
BACK TO THEIR LOCKER ROOM,
BECAUSE IN THIS BATTLE FOR
UNDISPUTED POSSESSION OF FIRST
PLACE IN THE AFC EAST, MIAMI
LEADS BY 16.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH MELISSA.
>> ALL RIGHT, AL. THANKS.
DAVE, AN ALMOST PERFECT FIRST
HALF WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT
JETS TOUCHDOWN.
ANY CHANGES FOR THE SECOND HALF?
>> WELL, NO.
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THE PRESSURE
ON, AND WE CAN'T SIT BACK,
OBVIOUSLY.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF FOOTBALL
LEFT.
WE LOST SOME FIELD POSITION ON
THAT LAST DRIVE, AND THE 15-YARD
PENALTY OBVIOUSLY PUT THEM IN
POSITION TO SCORE.
>> AND WE BEGIN THE SECOND HALF
AT GIANTS STADIUM IN
EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY, AS
OLINDO MARE GETS SET TO KICK OFF
TO THE NEW YORK JETS, WHO WERE
ABLE TO SCORE IN THE WANING
MOMENTS OF THE FIRST HALF TO GET
BACK INTO THE GAME.
BUT MARE KICKED A FIELD GOAL TO
TURN A 13-POINT LEAD INTO A
16-POINT LEAD.
BACK DEEP TO RECEIVE FOR THE
JETS -- WILLIAMS AND STONE.
MARE WILL KICK OFF.
WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE
NUMBERS.
IT'S A 3-TO-1 RATIO IN TERMS OF
TOTAL YARDAGE FOR THE
MIAMI DOLPHINS.
>> AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE
DOLPHINS DEFENSE, THEY'RE
AVERAGING GIVING UP JUST
8 1/2 POINTS A GAME.
AND THE JETS HAVE 7, SO IT
DOESN'T LOOK ALL THAT GOOD FOR
THE JETS AGAINST THIS REALLY
AGGRESSIVE AND ATHLETIC DEFENSE
OF THE DOLPHINS.
>> KEVIN WILLIAMS.
BRINGS IT BACK OUT TO THE
26-YARD LINE, AND THAT'S WHERE
THE JETS WILL BEGIN THEIR FIRST
POSSESSION.
OTHER STATISTICS IN THE FIRST
HALF.
AND HE BEGINS THIS HALF THROWING
TO CHREBET BUT FOR A VERY
MINIMAL GAIN.
WAYNE HAULS IT IN.
CHREBET SCORED THE JETS'
TOUCHDOWN IN THE FIRST HALF.
AND FOR CHREBET TONIGHT, HIS
SECOND CATCH.
>> "PHANTOM PRESSURE," DANNO.
I LOVE THAT LANGUAGE.
IT'S LIKE WHEN THEY CUT ONE OF
YOUR LIMBS OFF, YOU STILL FEEL
PAIN IN IT, RIGHT?
>> [ LAUGHS ] YEAH.
THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.
ALTHOUGH YOU'VE JUST GOT A WHOLE
BUNCH OF BAD LIMBS WORKING FOR
YOU ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS, FOR
TESTAVERDE.
>> THERE'S FIEDLER.
ABOUT A 3-TO-1 RATIO IN THAT
DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF YARDAGE.
SECOND DOWN AND 5.
LITTLE TOSS BACK TO MARTIN.
AND CURTIS ANGLES HIS WAY UP TO
THE 32-YARD LINE, WHERE IT'LL BE
THIRD DOWN AND 4 UPCOMING FOR
THE JETS.
THE WINNER OF THIS GAME IN
UNDISPUTED POSSESSION OF FIRST
PLACE IN THE AFC EAST, AT 6-1.
THE LOSER, OF COURSE, 5-2.
AND THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS, THE
PRESEASON FAVORITE, CONSENSUS
FAVORITE -- THE COLTS WINNING
YESTERDAY TO GO TO 5-2.
MIAMI GOES HOME NEXT WEEK.
THEY MEET GREEN BAY.
AND FOR THE JETS, IT'S A TRIP TO
BUFFALO.
THIRD DOWN AND 4 FROM THE
32-YARD LINE.
AND THAT IS CHREBET, WHO CANNOT
MAKE THE CATCH.
WAYNE CHREBET, ON A LITTLE SLANT
OVER THE MIDDLE, COULDN'T HAUL
IT IN.
THREE AND OUT FOR THE JETS.
>> JERRY WILSON WITH THE
COVERAGE THAT TIME ON CHREBET.
OFTENTIMES, CHREBET WILL TRY TO
LULL A DEFENSIVE BACK TO SLEEP
AND THEN USE A BURST TO GET
AWAY.
AND RIGHT NOW, AL GROH CANNOT BE
HAPPY WITH THIS START.
THREE PLAYS, AND THEN YOU BRING
OUT THE PUNTER, TOM TUPA.
>> LESLIE SHEPHERD, WHO SCORED A
TOUCHDOWN ON THE RECEIVING END
OF A FIEDLER PASS IN THE FIRST
HALF, TO RUN IT BACK.
STANDING AT THE 20-YARD LINE.
>> TUPES HAS NEVER HAD ONE
RETURNED FOR A T.D.
SO WE'LL SEE IF THEY CAN BREAK
THAT STREAK.
>> WENT TO THE PRO BOWL.
HE WON'T HAVE THIS ONE RETURNED
AT ALL BECAUSE SHEPHERD
FAIR-CATCHES IT AT THE 28-YARD
LINE.
1:34 INTO THE THIRD QUARTER.
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER IS IN
TOWN?
>> IN OUR MIDST.
>> HEY!
>> WHY NOT?
>> WHY NOT?
>> EXACTLY.
>> YOU COULDN'T GET A
WORLD SERIES TICKET, SO YOU COME
TO "MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL,"
RIGHT?
>> THIS IS FANTASTIC TO WATCH
THIS GAME.
IT IS MORE EXCITEMENT THAN ANY
MOTION PICTURE.
THIS IS REALLY GREAT.
>> ARNOLD, I'M JUST BUDDYING UP
TO YOU, BABE, BECAUSE I KNOW
YOU'RE GONNA BE THE GOVERNOR OF
CALIFORNIA SOMEDAY.
>> OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> TAKE CARE OF ME.
I'M GETTING KILLED WITH THE
STATE TAXES OUT THERE.
>> IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
TRUST ME.
>> "READ MY LIPS -- RETROACTIVE
TAX CUTS," RIGHT?
>> THERE YOU ARE.
>> FROM THE 28-YARD LINE.
FIRST DOWN.
THIS IS FIEDLER THROWING.
AND THAT'S KNOCKED DOWN.
INTENDED FOR GADSDEN.
KNOCKED DOWN BY MARCUS COLEMAN.
YOU EVER BEEN TO A MONDAY-NIGHT
GAME BEFORE?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.
WAYNE CHREBET IS GONNA PULL IT
OFF.
I THINK, AS USUAL, THE JETS ARE
GONNA COME FROM BEHIND.
YOU WILL SEE.
HE GIVES THEM SOME SERIOUS
TROUBLE NOW.
>> YOU HEARD IT HERE.
I'M NOT GONNA ARGUE WITH HIM,
ARE YOU, DENNIS?
>> I'VE GOT A GOOD "CONAN" LINE.
>> I'M A JET FAN.
>> HERE'S MY FAVORITE "CONAN"
LINE.
IT FITS FOOTBALL.
"THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS TO
MEET YOUR ENEMY ON THE FIELD OF
BATTLE, TO CRUSH HIM BENEATH
YOUR FEET, AND TO HEAR THE
LAMENTATIONS OF HIS WOMAN."
>> YEAH. IT'S VERY CLOSE.
I LIKE IT.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> HERE'S LAMAR SMITH.
WE'VE GOT A PENALTY.
>> I THINK THE DOLPHINS HAVE TO
BE TERMINATED.
>> YEAH.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> ROB KONRAD'S GONNA HELP YOU,
ARNOLD, THERE WITH THAT HOLDING
CALL.
THIS WILL GIVE YOU AND THE JET
FANS SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT.
BUT THEY GOT A RATHER LARGE HILL
TO CLIMB HERE.
KONRAD IS NUMBER 44.
HE WAS LEADING THE PLAY.
>> HOLDING, 44, OFFENSE.
10 YARDS. REPEAT SECOND DOWN.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 20.
FIEDLER LOOKING TO SCRAMBLE.
THERE HE GOES.
AND GETS TAKEN DOWN BY
JASON FERGUSON.
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
DENNIS, BUT I FEEL ALL PUMPED UP
NOW.
>> NOBODY SELLS THEIR PRODUCT
LIKE MY MAN.
THE GUY IS A DREAM MOVIE STAR.
HE GETS OUT THERE AND HE SELLS
THE SOAP.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 16.
FIEDLER UNDER PRESSURE.
THROWS INTO TRAFFIC AND
INCOMPLETE.
TRIED TO GET IT IN TO
BERT EMANUEL, BUT HE WAS
BRACKETED.
FOURTH DOWN.
>> OFFENSIVE LINE'S BEEN DOING A
PRETTY GOOD JOB FOR FIEDLER
TONIGHT.
HE'S REALLY GONNA HANG ON TO
THIS FOR A LONG TIME.
HE'S GONNA PAY FOR IT, TOO,
RIGHT THERE AS MO LEWIS KISSES
HIM RIGHT UNDER THE CHIN.
>> MATT TURK PLAYED HIS COLLEGE
BALL AT WISCONSIN-WHITEWATER.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> KICKING TO DEDRIC WARD.
38-YARD LINE.
UP TO THE 44.
THAT'S TOMORROW NIGHT.
MEANWHILE, TONIGHT, JETS DOWN BY
16.
ON FIRST DOWN, VINNY THROWS.
CAUGHT. MARTIN HAS SOME ROOM.
AND CURTIS FIGHTS HIS WAY FOR A
FIRST DOWN TO THE 45-YARD LINE
OF THE MIAMI DOLPHINS.
>> IF THE PAST IS ANY INDICATOR
THIS SEASON, VINNY ALWAYS PERKS
UP IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.
LET'S HOPE IT HAPPENS AGAIN
TONIGHT.
HE JUST LIKES TO LET THEM GET
OUT THERE A LITTLE, THEN HE
COMES CHARGING UP FROM THE REAR.
>> OF HIS 10 COMPLETIONS
TONIGHT, THREE HAVE BEEN TO
MARTIN AND THREE HAVE BEEN TO
RICHIE ANDERSON.
SO THE DOUBLE COVERAGE ON THE
OUTSIDE.
HE'S STARTING TO COME DOWN TO
HIS BACKS, AND THEY'RE STARTING
TO PAY OFF.
>> FROM THE 46-YARD LINE.
VINNY ON A TIGHT ROLL.
LOOKING DOWNFIELD.
FLAG IS THROWN.
AND THE PASS IS INCOMPLETE.
PATRICK SURTAIN LOCKED UP ON
RICHIE ANDERSON.
>> I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE THE
WAY IT IS, TOO -- IT'S GONNA BE
HOLDING AGAINST THE DOLPHINS IN
THE SECONDARY.
>> BERT EMANUEL, WHO'S CAUGHT
SIX PASSES THIS SEASON AND
SOMETIMES COMES IN AS THE
QUARTERBACK IN CERTAIN
SITUATIONS, TO THE LOCKER ROOM.
>> 5 YARDS.
AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN.
>> 5-YARD VARIETY ON SURTAIN.
>> AND THE BIG THING IS, IT IS A
FIRST DOWN, SO THE JETS CONTINUE
TO MOVE THE BALL.
HERE IT IS ON THE OUTSIDE
AGAINST RICHIE ANDERSON.
AS ANDERSON -- NOT SURE.
THERE'S THE HOLD RIGHT THERE,
WITH THE RIGHT HAND.
GOOD CALL BY THE OFFICIAL.
GOT AWAY WITH THE FIRST BUMP,
BUT NOT THE SECOND ONE.
>> IT WAS A SLY LITTLE HOLD.
YOU GOT TO LIKE THAT.
YOU GOT TO TRY THAT.
>> HITTING HIM ON THE HIP.
>> VINNY FROM THE 40.
MARTIN.
ZACH THOMAS TAKES HIM DOWN AT
THE 38-YARD LINE.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH MELISSA.
>> WELL, AL, WIDE RECEIVER
BERT EMANUEL JUST LEFT THE
FIELD.
HE WAS HEADED TO THE LOCKER
ROOM.
HE HAS INJURED HIS LEFT WRIST.
HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS IN A LOT
OF PAIN.
NO WORD YET ON HOW SERIOUS IT IS
OR IF HE WILL RETURN.
>> WELL, THAT'S ANOTHER INJURY
TO A DOLPHIN WIDEOUT.
REMEMBER, THEY'RE MINUS
TONY MARTIN.
THEY LOST LAMAR THOMAS FOR THE
SEASON IN PRESEASON.
THERE'S VINNY'S LAST PASS.
THEY HAVE McDUFFIE JUST COMING
BACK.
BOWENS GOT HIS HAND ON IT ON
THAT PASS.
>> CAME OUT OF THERE LIKE
CHUCKIE KNOBLAUCH.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 8 FROM THE
38-YARD LINE.
AS TESTAVERDE THROWS!
AND OPEN OVER THE MIDDLE IS
MARTIN.
HE TAKES IT TO THE 23-YARD LINE.
OR ANDERSON -- RICHIE ANDERSON
MAKING THE CATCH.
FIRST DOWN, JETS.
>> AND VINNY TOLD ME THAT WITH
THE DEPARTURE OF
KEYSHAWN JOHNSON TO TAMPA BAY,
ONE OF THE GUYS THEY COUNTED ON
TO PICK UP THE SLACK IS
RICHIE ANDERSON.
HE'S NOT A GREAT PLAYER AT ANY
ONE POSITION, BUT HE'S A GOOD
PLAYER AT SEVERAL.
HE PLAYS FULLBACK, H-BACK, A
LITTLE WIDE RECEIVER.
SOLID PASS BLOCKER.
>> NOBODY IN THE BACKFIELD NOW
ON FIRST DOWN FROM THE 24-YARD
LINE.
VINNY GOING TO THE END ZONE.
AND IT'S KNOCKED AWAY BY
PATRICK SURTAIN.
WHAT A PLAY.
DEDRIC WARD THE INTENDED
RECEIVER.
>> SURTAIN AND MADISON AT THE
CORNERS, MAN.
>> WHEN YOU THROW AGAINST
CORNERS THIS GOOD, YOU'VE GOT TO
PUT THE BALL OUT IN FRONT AND
MAKE YOUR RECEIVER ALMOST HAVE
TO DIVE FOR THE BALL.
SURTAIN HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE
RECEIVERS AS WELL AS MADISON, ON
THE OTHER SIDE.
BUT LOOK AT THE MAKE-UP SPEED
HERE.
HE GETS HIS LEFT HAND OUT JUST
IN TIME TO KNOCK IT AWAY FROM
WARD.
BUT VINNY'S JUST GOT TO BE A
LITTLE BIT MORE EXACT.
THROW THE BALL SIX INCHES TO A
FOOT FURTHER.
>> IN A BRUTAL GAME, THE
DELICACY OF THAT GESTURE IS
SOMETHING TO BE SAVORED.
>> SECOND AND 10.
AND THE PASS IS CAUGHT OUT IN
THE FLAT AT THE 26-YARD LINE
BY COLES, WHO GETS SURROUNDED BY
DOLPHINS.
LED BY ROBERT JONES.
THIRD DOWN COMING UP. BIG ONE.
THEY JUST THREW ONE THERE FOR
-1.
IT'S THIRD DOWN AND 11 AT THE
25-YARD LINE.
VINNY PROTECTED WELL. THROWS.
HE HAD A WIDE-OPEN RECEIVER, BUT
IT'S BRIAN WALKER WHO INTERCEPTS
IT!
COLES WAS SLANTING TOWARD THE
POST.
HE THREW IT OUTSIDE, AND THE
DOLPHINS STYMIE THE JETS.
THIRD PICK FOR MIAMI.
>> AND THE WORST PASS OF THE
NIGHT FOR TESTAVERDE.
LOOKS LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF HIS
HAND, AS HE JUST WAY AIRMAILS
THIS PASS.
>> AND VINNY WITH HIS THIRD PICK
OF THE NIGHT.
AS FIEDLER HANDS THE BALL ON
FIRST DOWN TO LAMAR SMITH.
UP TO THE 20-YARD LINE.
IT'S ONLY THE SECOND TIME IN
VINNY'S JET CAREER HE'S THROWN
MORE THAN ONE INTERCEPTION.
BACK-SIDE SCREEN TO LAMAR SMITH.
AND THAT WORKS FOR A FIRST DOWN,
UP TO THE 32-YARD LINE.
SO HERE ARE THE DOLPHINS.
JAY FIEDLER -- IN AND OUT OF
FOOTBALL, JUST LOOKING FOR A
JOB, UNDRAFTED DARTMOUTH GUY --
TO LAMAR SMITH, WHO'S NOW BECOME
THE FEATURE BACK -- SEVENTH YEAR
IN THE LEAGUE, REALLY NO CHANCE
TO SHINE UNTIL NOW.
>> AND THE DOLPHINS HAVE
BASICALLY A DEPLETED RECEIVING
CORPS WITH ALL THE INJURIES TO
THEIR WIDE RECEIVERS.
BUT THEIR CREATIVE OFFENSIVE
COORDINATOR, CHAN GAILEY, IS
GETTING IT DONE.
THROWING A SCREEN PASS TO THE
GUY YOU JUST FAKED THE RUN TO.
>> FROM THE 32-YARD LINE.
A 100-YARD NIGHT ON THE GROUND
FOR LAMAR SMITH.
HE TRIES TO ADD TO IT AND DOES.
GOOD, HARD RUNNING.
TACKLED BY JONES.
UP TO THE 39-YARD LINE.
WELL, DAVE WAS A DEFENSIVE
COORDINATOR.
HE, OF COURSE, IS MORE
COMFORTABLE ON THAT SIDE OF THE
BALL.
ANOTHER GUY HE'S BROUGHT IN IS
JIM BATES.
WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT GAILEY
TONIGHT.
BUT HE BROUGHT BATES IN FROM THE
COWBOYS TO RUN THE DEFENSE.
AND AS WE ALL KNOW, FEWEST
POINTS IN THE LEAGUE ALLOWED AND
ONLY FOUR TOUCHDOWNS ALLOWED
THIS SEASON, COUNTING ONE
TONIGHT.
SECOND AND 3.
SMITH OVER THE TOP TO THE 42.
>> WHEN GAILEY WAS THE OFFENSIVE
COORDINATOR IN PITTSBURGH, THE
GUY WAS AMAZINGLY UNPREDICTABLE.
HE MADE KORDELL STEWART LOOK
ALL-WORLD, FOR GOD'S SAKES.
AND HIS CONFIDENCE IS SO
DISSIPATED OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS, YOU FORGET HOW GOOD
KORDELL WAS THAT YEAR WITH CHAN.
>> YOU FORGET ABOUT GAILEY IN
DALLAS.
HE ACTUALLY LED HIS TEAM TO THE
PLAYOFFS IN EACH OF HIS TWO
YEARS, AS THEY MEASURE HERE.
AND NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF
FOOTBALL HAS A GUY GONE IN, LED
HIS TEAM TO A PLAYOFF BERTH IN
EACH OF THE FIRST TWO SEASONS,
AND GOT CANNED.
>> LIKE I SAID, HE GOT WHACKED
UNJUSTIFIABLY.
>> AND WITH ALL THE COORDINATORS
AND OFFENSES THROWING THE BALL
ALL OVER THE PLACE, CHAN GAILEY
IS A COORDINATOR WHO'S TOTALLY
COMMITTED TO THE RUN.
>> THIRD DOWN AND INCHES FROM
THE 42-YARD LINE.
OUT OF THE "I."
FIEDLER WILL DO IT HIMSELF.
SOMEBODY LOSES THE HELMET.
IT'S A JET.
AND MIAMI HAS A FIRST DOWN.
>> DENNIS TALKED ABOUT IT
EARLIER -- THERE'S FIEDLER WITH
MORE YARDAGE THIS YEAR ON THE
GROUND THAN MARINO HAD IN HIS
CAREER.
AND THAT PASS IS INCOMPLETE.
THROWN INTO A QUARTET OF
DEFENDERS.
ORONDE GADSDEN OVER THE MIDDLE,
THE INTENDED RECEIVER.
>> THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT
CHAN GAILEY TOLD ME -- THE
ADVICE THAT HE WAS GONNA GIVE
JAY FIEDLER TONIGHT -- HE'S GOT
TO AVOID MENTAL MISTAKES,
TURNOVERS, AND SACKS.
NO SACKS OR TURNOVERS, BUT HE
 HAS MADE A COUPLE OF MENTAL
ERRORS, THAT THROW THERE BEING
ONE OF THEM.
HE'S THROWN A COUPLE IN THIS
DRIVE INTO SERIOUS DOUBLE- AND
TRIPLE-TEAMING OF HIS WIDEOUTS.
>> LOOKS LIKE CHAN'S GOT HIS OWN
BOOTH THERE.
YOU USUALLY GO INTO THOSE BOOTHS
AND IT'S MORE JAMMED THAN THE
CLOWN CAR AT THE CIRCUS.
I COULDN'T SEE ANY OTHER COACHES
WITH HIM.
>> SECOND AND 10 AT THE 42.
FIEDLER DEEP.
AND IT'S PICKED OFF AT THE
15-YARD LINE BY MARCUS COLEMAN!
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
THE JETS DESPERATE FOR A BREAK,
AND THEY GET ONE HERE WITH LESS
THAN 6 MINUTES LEFT IN THE
THIRD.
>> AND JUST AN OUTSTANDING
EFFORT BY NUMBER 42,
MARCUS COLEMAN.
HIS FIRST PICK OF THE YEAR.
LOOK AT THIS EFFORT AS HE STARES
DOWN THE EYES OF GADSDEN AND
THEN OUTLEAPS HIM.
>> THIRD QUARTER, LATE THIRD.
VINNY TESTAVERDE ON FIRST DOWN
FROM THE 12.
GIVES IT TO CURTIS MARTIN.
TO THE 18-YARD LINE.
TACKLED THERE BY ZACH THOMAS.
>> ONE MORE LOOK AT THIS
INTERCEPTION.
ORONDE GADSDEN HAS GOT TO DO
SOMETHING TO TRY AND CATCH THAT
BALL.
MARCUS COLEMAN GAVE THE EFFORT
THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE
RECEIVER GIVE.
NEVER DID EVEN TRY TO GET UP TO
GET THE BALL.
>> I'M SURPRISED HE DIDN'T KNOCK
HIMSELF OUT THERE.
>> HERE WAS GAILEY'S REACTION.
CHAN LOOKING ON.
THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR OF THE
DOLPHINS.
>> "BALDERDASH!" I THINK I
CAUGHT THERE.
>> "SON OF A GUN."
>> "SHUCKS."
SECOND AND 4 AT THE 18.
AND THAT IS CAUGHT BY MARTIN.
AND HE'S IN BOUNDS. FIRST DOWN.
CURTIS STEPPING OUT AT THE
26-YARD LINE.
>> HOW GOOD IS CURTIS MARTIN?
LINING UP AS A WIDE RECEIVER AND
RUNNING AN OUT ROUTE AGAINST
BROCK MARION.
PROTECTION IS REAL GOOD FOR
TESTAVERDE.
HE'S GOT A GOOD THROWING LANE.
AND A GREAT PASS TO THE OUTSIDE.
MARION CAN'T MAKE A PLAY ON THE
BALL.
>> YOU KNOW, MARTIN, EVERY TIME
YOU SEE HIM, SUCH A SOLID PRO ON
SO MANY LEVELS.
YOU WONDER HOW THE HECK HE EVER
GOT OUT OF NEW ENGLAND.
>> MONEY.
FIRST AND 10 AT THE 26-YARD
LINE.
ANDERSON TO THE 29-YARD LINE.
>> I KNOW IT'S THAT SIMPLE IN
THE END, AL, BUT GREAT PLAYER.
>> I THINK HE'S THE JOHNNIE RAY
OF THE NUMBER-ONE ALBUM.
SECOND AND 7 FROM THE 29.
CHUGGING STRAIGHT AHEAD IS
MARTIN.
I'M SURE THE PATRIOTS -- TALKING
ABOUT MARTIN -- OF COURSE THEY
LOOK BACK NOW AND KNOW, "YEAH,
CURTIS WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A
PATRIOT UNIFORM."
THIRD DOWN AND 3 FROM THE
32-YARD LINE.
ANDERSON MAKES THE CATCH AND
TRIES TO GET THE FIRST DOWN.
IS VERY, VERY CLOSE.
HE GETS RIDDEN DOWN BY THE
LINEBACKER, DERRICK RODGERS UP
AT THE 36-YARD LINE.
SO THE CLOCK CONTINUES TO RUN.
NOW THEY'LL STOP IT FOR AN
APPARENT MEASUREMENT.
>> JUST 3 MINUTES TO GO HERE IN
THE THIRD QUARTER, AND THE JETS,
WITH THIS TYPE OF OFFENSE, AWFUL
SLOW GETTING DOWN THE FIELD.
THIS IS A HECK OF A TACKLE BY
RODGERS.
ANDERSON GOES TO TURN UP.
BUT INSTEAD OF GOING FORWARD, HE
KIND OF GOES SIDEWAYS.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE GOT A REAL
BAD MARK BY THE OFFICIALS.
I'M SURE THE JETS WILL THINK
THAT.
BUT IF ANY TEAM IS GONNA GO FOR
IT ON FOURTH DOWN AND GET IT,
THE JETS ARE.
A PERFECT 4 FOR 4 ON THE SEASON
IN THESE TYPE OF SITUATIONS.
>> CURTIS MARTIN ON THIRD AND
1 AND FOURTH AND 1 THIS YEAR IS
5 FOR 5.
THIS WOULD BE VERY, VERY RISKY,
WITH 18 MINUTES TO GO AT YOUR
OWN 36-YARD LINE.
THE DOLPHINS RIGHT NOW ARE
ALMOST ALREADY WITHIN FIELD-GOAL
RANGE IF THE JETS DON'T CONVERT.
>> BUT THE ONE THING THE JETS
KNOW -- THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE.
AND THIS GOES BACK TO PARCELLS.
HE ALWAYS WENT FOR IT ON FOURTH
DOWN.
IT SEEMED LIKE THEY ALWAYS GOT
IT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE 4 FOR 4, YOU GOT
TO HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU CAN
GET IT AGAIN.
>> THE JETS HAVE CHALLENGED THE
FORWARD-PROGRESS SPOT.
>> I THINK THIS IS A GOOD
CHALLENGE.
IT APPEARED THAT ANDERSON HAD
ABOUT A FOOT, MAYBE TWO FEET
MORE THAN HE GOT CREDIT FOR.
>> ALL RIGHT.
A LITTLE CHALLENGE HERE.
I'M GONNA GO WORK ON MY
MASTER'S.
SEE YOU GUYS IN A BIT.
I'M GONNA GO DO SOME
MASTER'S-THESIS WORK HERE.
>> YOU GO TO THE LOO, AND WE'LL
LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS ON THE
WAY BACK.
TAKE A LOOK AT ANDERSON.
RODGERS WRAPPING HIM UP.
WHERE'S FORWARD PROGRESS?
>> RIGHT ABOUT THERE.
>> "RIGHT ABOUT THERE" IS RIGHT.
>> SEE?
I CAN'T DO STUFF LIKE THAT.
>> YEAH.
'CAUSE I'VE GOT THE TOYS.
YOU GOT THE BRAINS.
I GOT THE TOYS.
>> RIGHT ABOUT THERE.
>> RIGHT ABOUT THERE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> I WANT TO KNOW -- WELL,
WALT COLEMAN ALMOST HAS TO MAKE
THIS CALL BY LOOKING AT THE
REPLAY.
WHEN HE SEES WHERE FORWARD
PROGRESS WOULD BE, WHAT DOES HE
DO -- TAKE IT FROM THE MONITOR
TO OSTENSIBLY THE POINT ON THE
FIELD WHERE HE SEES IT ON THE
REPLAY?
>> THEY ARE GIVING HIM ABOUT
FOUR DIFFERENT LOOKS UPSTAIRS IN
THE REPLAY BOOTH.
THIS WILL BE A DIFFICULT
DECISION FOR HIM.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MATTER
OF INCHES HERE.
>> IT'S LIKE THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
IN THIS COUNTRY -- IT HAS TO BE
BEYOND A REASONABLE SHADOW OF
DOUBT.
>> YEAH, RIGHT.
>> THE RULING ON THE FIELD
STANDS.
THE RUNNER'S KNEE WAS DOWN.
THE JETS WILL BE CHARGED A
TIME-OUT.
>> SO IT'S FOURTH DOWN.
AND NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES, DO
THEY GO FOR IT?
AT LEAST FOR THE MOMENT, THEY
WILL LINE UP TO GO FOR IT.
THEY KEEP THEIR OFFENSE OUT ON
THE FIELD.
>> THEY'D BETTER GO FOR IT NOW,
'CAUSE THEY'VE GOT ONE LESS
TIME-OUT TO WORK WITH AT THE END
OF THE GAME NOW.
>> THEY'RE DOWN BY 16.
3:21 REMAINING IN THE THIRD
AFTER WHAT AMOUNTS TO ABOUT A
4-MINUTE INTERRUPTION IN THE
GAME.
HERE IS FOURTH AND INCHES.
AND THEY GIVE IT TO THE UP BACK,
AND I DON'T THINK HE GETS IT!
THAT'S ANDERSON.
NO.
>> NOPE.
>> I'D ASK FOR A REPLAY.
>> THIS IS THE SAME PLAY THE
JETS RAN EARLIER IN THE GAME ON
A THIRD DOWN AND SHORT.
ANDERSON PICKED IT UP EASILY.
BUT NOT THIS TIME.
THE DOLPHINS' FRONT LINE JUST
STUFFED ANDERSON, AND THEN THE
PURSUIT GOT HIM AS HE TRIED TO
BOUNCE IT TO THE OUTSIDE.
>> THIS 51-POINT THING IS
STARTING TO LOOK LIKE IT'S NOT
AN ANOMALY.
>> LOOK HOW MUCH LOWER THE
DOLPHINS ARE THAN THE JETS.
THAT'S WHAT WINS ON FOURTH AND
SHORT.
THE LOW MAN ALWAYS WINS BECAUSE
IT STOPS THE HIGH MAN'S MOMENTUM
AND ALL HIS POWER.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, TAYLOR AND
RODGERS ARE VERY LIGHT.
IT GETS LATER IN THE SEASON,
SOMETIMES THEY ATROPHY A LITTLE.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU, THEY'RE
HELL-BENT FOR GLORY IN THE FIRST
HALF OF THE SEASON.
>> SO NOW THE DOLPHINS, TO GET
INTO MARE'S FIELD-GOAL RANGE,
ONLY NEED ABOUT 4 OR 5 YARDS.
AND THAT IS A BUSTED PLAY, AS
KONRAD TAKES THE PITCH.
FIEDLER LOOKED AROUND.
GOOD DOUBLE CLUTCH THAT TIME TO
HOLD ON TO THE BALL AND THEN
FINALLY GET IT OVER THERE.
>> I THINK THAT WAS A BALK.
>> YES, IT WAS.
>> YOU GOT TO THROW THE BALL.
>> GOOD THING NOBODY WAS ON
BASE.
SO THE BALL AT THE 34-YARD LINE.
IT IS SECOND DOWN AND 8.
SMITH.
INSIDE THE 30, TO THE 27.
THIRD AND SHORT.
LET'S GO TO MELISSA.
>> WELL, AL, IN THE MIDDLE OF A
HEATED SUBWAY SERIES, AL LEITER
HAS FOUND TIME TO COME AND TAKE
IN SOME FOOTBALL.
OBVIOUSLY SHOWING YOUR
ALLEGIANCE WITH THE JETS.
WHY ARE THE JETS PLAYING SO
POORLY?
>> I WOULD HAVE NO IDEA.
I SAT UP IN A SUITE LEVEL THE
WHOLE TIME, AND I DIDN'T WATCH A
WHOLE LOT OF THE GAME.
I THINK THE SUITES ARE FOR
PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO WATCH
THE GAME.
SO I'LL LEAVE THAT FOR THE GUYS
UPSTAIRS TO FIGURE OUT.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> I GET ENOUGH CRITIQUE.
I DON'T WANT TO BE RIPPING ON
ANYBODY.
>> ALL RIGHT. GOOD ANALYSIS.
ENJOY THE NIGHT OFF.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.
>> ONE REASON THEY'RE HAVING
PROBLEMS IS JAY FIEDLER CAN DO
THINGS THAT NOBODY THOUGHT HE
COULD DO -- I.E., THAT PLAY.
GETTING FREE, AVOIDING THE SACK,
FINDING TIME AND HITTING
ORONDE GADSDEN FOR A FIRST DOWN.
>> AND GADSDEN DOES A GREAT JOB
OF FINDING A WAY OF GETTING
OPEN.
HE REALLY IS THE ONLY RECEIVER
ON THAT SIDE OF THE FIELD.
HE CAME BACK TO THE QUARTERBACK
AND REALLY BAILED HIM OUT.
THE RUNNING ABILITY OF FIEDLER
HAS BEEN THE MOST PLEASANT
SURPRISE FOR WANNSTEDT'S TEAM.
>> HE'S A DISTANT RELATIVE OF
ARTHUR FIEDLER, AND HE LOOKS
VERY DEFT WITH THE BATON
TONIGHT.
>> FROM THE 13-YARD LINE.
SMITH! LOOK AT LAMAR SMITH!
TO THE 2-YARD LINE.
BREAKING A CHRIS HAYES TACKLE,
AND LAMAR SMITH HAS RUN FOR
138 YARDS.
HIS SEVENTH YEAR IN THE LEAGUE
AND THE FIRST TIME HE HAS PLAYED
IN A MONDAY-NIGHT GAME.
HE IS A PRIME-TIME PLAYER.
>> WHAT WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT IS
YARDAGE AFTER CONTACT.
THERE'S CHRIS HAYES.
GONE.
STEPS OUT OF THAT TACKLE AND
THEN GETS ALL THE WAY DOWN
INSIDE THE 5-YARD LINE BEFORE A
BUNCH OF JETS GET HIM.
BUT THAT'S WHAT OFFENSIVE
LINEMEN LOVE -- MAKING THE FIRST
GUY MISS OR MAKING THE FIRST GUY
PAY.
>> THAT'S A CURTIS MARTIN RUN
RIGHT THERE.
>> FROM THE 3-YARD LINE ON FIRST
DOWN.
THEY GIVE IT TO SMITH.
TOUCHDOWN, MIAMI.
AND SO THE JETS ATTEMPT TO GO
FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN, DON'T GET
IT, AND THE DOLPHINS MAKE THEM
PAY A VERY HEAVY PRICE.
>> KONRAD IS REALLY LOVING IT,
MAN.
HE'S BEEN KNOCKING PEOPLE BACK
ON THEIR HEELS ALL NIGHT AFTER
THAT COMMENT ABOUT HOW HE
COULDN'T BLOCK.
HE'S BEEN THE LEAD BLOCKER ON
ALMOST EVERY BIG PLAY.
>> WELL, HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
BLOCK HIS WAY OUT OF A PAPER
BAG, BUT HE KNOWS HOW TO LEAD
THE WAY FOR A GUY LIKE SMITH,
WHO HAS NOW CARRIED 19 TIMES FOR
141 YARDS.
AND MARE FOR THE POINT AFTER.
THE DOLPHINS, WITH 12 TICKS
REMAINING IN THE THIRD QUARTER,
LEADING THE NEW YORK JETS
30-7.
THEY'VE OUTGAINED THEM 363 YARDS
TO 154.
DOMINANT BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.
KEVIN WILLIAMS BRINGS IT FROM
THE 15 ONLY BACK TO THE 25
AGAINST THIS SWARMING DOLPHINS
SPECIAL TEAM.
>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE GUY
THAT CAN'T BLOCK HIS WAY OUT OF
A PAPER BAG.
HE CAN FIND A SAFETY, THOUGH.
VICTOR GREEN, 21, COMES UP.
KONRAD PUSHES HIM ALMOST OVER
ONTO HIS WALLET.
THAT OFFENSIVE LINE IS
DOMINATING THE JETS RIGHT NOW.
THAT WAS KEVIN DONNALLEY AND
TODD WADE, THE ROOKIE FROM
MISSISSIPPI, ON THAT RIGHT SIDE,
WHERE THEY CONTINUE TO POUND THE
BALL.
>> YOU KNOW KONRAD'S GOT TO BE A
GAMER.
THEY LET HIM WEAR 44 AT
SYRACUSE.
THAT'S ALMOST SACRILEGIOUS.
>> JETS WITH THOSE THREE WINS
THIS SEASON WHEN TRAILING GOING
INTO THE FOURTH, BUT NEVER BY
THIS MUCH.
ANDERSON MAKING THE CATCH.
THEY BEAT GREEN BAY ON OPENING
DAY, THEY BEAT NEW ENGLAND IN A
MONDAY-NIGHT GAME AND TAMPA BAY.
BUT TOUGHER TIMES AHEAD TONIGHT.
FOURTH QUARTER AT THE
MEADOWLANDS.
AL MICHAELS, DAN FOUTS,
DENNIS MILLER, ERIC DICKERSON,
AND MELISSA STARK.
THE NEW YORK JETS, DOWN BY 23,
HAVE A FIRST AND 10 AT THEIR OWN
36.
THE OPENING PLAY OF THE LAST
QUARTER BEGINS WITH A PENALTY AS
ANDERSON MAKES THE CATCH.
>> IT HASN'T CHANGED A WHOLE LOT
FROM THE FIRST QUARTER, WHEN THE
DOLPHINS REALLY CAME OUT AND SET
THE TONE.
>> VINNY TESTAVERDE.
IT'S BEEN THAT KIND OF NIGHT.
THE TOUCHDOWN TO CHREBET.
THE THREE PICKS.
>> THAT'S WHY I GET THE LITTLE
DOLLARS, DENNIS.
>> AH.
>> FROM THE 41-YARD LINE.
AND THAT IS...CAUGHT AT THE
32-YARD LINE BY DEDRIC WARD.
BRIAN WALKER, WHO'S BEEN HITTING
EVERYTHING THAT MOVES TONIGHT.
>> AND I THINK HE HIT
PATRICK SURTAIN HARDER THAN HE
HIT DEDRIC WARD ON THAT PLAY,
'CAUSE SURTAIN IS HOLDING HIS
LEFT ARM RIGHT NOW.
WHAT A CATCH BY WARD.
>> JETS GOING WITHOUT A HUDDLE
IN THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE
FOURTH QUARTER.
TESTAVERDE THROWS.
REACHING FOR IT AT THE 24 --
A FLAG AGAIN.
ANDERSON WAS THE INTENDED
RECEIVER, AND HE WAS COVERED ON
THE PLAY BY GREG JEFFRIES.
DEFENSIVE HOLDING IS THE CALL.
>> JERRY WILSON GOT THE CALL ON
THAT ONE.
>> HOLDING, 24.
>> FIRST DOWN AT THE 27-YARD
LINE.
WITH CHREBET IN MOTION,
ANDERSON.
AND HE GETS TRIPPED UP BY
BRIAN WALKER.
SO HE'S ALL OVER THE JOINT.
THERE'S WALKER COVERING DEEP ON
THE LAST PLAY.
THEN HE GETS INTO THE BACKFIELD
TO KNOCK THE RUNNER DOWN BEHIND
THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
>> THEY WERE GONNA RUN THAT
OPTION PLAY AGAIN.
NOW THEY'VE GOT TO GO TO THE
HURRY-UP OFFENSE.
TIME RUNNING DOWN.
THE CLOCK'S STILL MOVING.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 13.
VINNY.
FOR COLES.
AND DOES HE MAKE THE CATCH?
HE DOES!
 HOW DID HE CATCH THAT ONE?
>> SAME WAY HE DROPPED THAT
EARLIER ONE.
>> SAM MADISON HAD IT!
>> HE TOOK IT OUT OF
SAM MADISON'S GRASP.
IT WENT FROM AN INTERCEPTION TO
A COMPLETION AND A TOUCHDOWN.
>> NO QUESTION, AL.
THE BALL WAS RIGHT IN MADISON'S
HANDS.
HE JUGGLED IT, AND COLES
SNATCHED IT FROM HIM.
LOOK AT THIS.
THE FIRST HANDS YOU'LL SEE WILL
BE MADISON'S.
THAT'S WHY SOME GUYS PLAY
DEFENSE AND SOME GUYS PLAY
OFFENSE.
>> HEADS UP FOR THE KID.
GOOD FOR HIM.
>> GREAT PLAY BY
LAVERANUES COLES.
WHAT A GIFT, THOUGH.
THROWN OVER THE OUTSIDE
SHOULDER.
>> WOULD'VE NEVER GOT THAT BALL
HAD MADISON NOT HELD IT UP FOR
HIM.
IT WAS WAY OUT OF REACH.
>> SO IT'S 30-13.
THEY'RE GONNA GO FOR 2, WHICH I
FIND TO BE SOMEWHAT CURIOUS TO
BEGIN WITH.
AND...
THEY DO NOT MAKE IT.
JETS SCORING THE TOUCHDOWN BUT
OPTING TO GO FOR 2 IN A
SITUATION WHERE YOU NORMALLY
DEFER THAT CHOICE UNTIL YOU
REALLY NEED THE 2-POINT
CONVERSION.
SO NOW TWO TOUCHDOWNS AND TWO
2-POINTERS STILL DON'T GET THEM
EVEN.
HERE'S MARION BRINGING IT BACK
OUT TO THE 32-YARD LINE.
ON FIRST DOWN, J.J. JOHNSON GETS
THE CARRY.
HE IS A KID OUT OF
MISSISSIPPI STATE.
PICKED IN THE SECOND ROUND LAST
YEAR BY JIMMY JOHNSON AND WAS
BEING COUNTED ON AS A GUY WHO
COULD DO A LOT OF THINGS FOR
THEM.
ANOTHER LOOK AT THE TOUCHDOWN
HERE.
>> LAVERANUES COLES OUGHT TO
HAVE SOMEBODY BACK HOME SET THE
VCR FOR THAT ONE, BECAUSE THAT'S
HIS FIRST PROFESSIONAL
TOUCHDOWN.
AND IT'S A GIFT COMPLIMENTS OF
SAM MADISON.
>> I'M SURPRISED SAMMY DIDN'T
JUST BAT THAT DOWN.
HE'S SUCH A SAVVY PLAYER, AND HE
KNEW THE KID WAS RIGHT ON HIS
SHOULDER.
HE SHOULD'VE JUST SPIKED IT.
>> THIS IS J.J. JOHNSON AGAIN.
SO LAMAR SMITH HAS BEEN THE
WORKHORSE TONIGHT.
HE'S CARRIED FOR 141 YARDS.
JOHNSON HAS PLAYED VERY
SPARINGLY THIS SEASON.
ONE GAME HE WAS INACTIVE.
ANOTHER GAME HE DIDN'T PLAY AT
ALL, AND HE'S ONLY CARRIED THE
BALL A TOTAL OF 10 TIMES COMING
INTO TONIGHT'S ACTION.
THERE'S SMITH GETTING A
WELL-DESERVED BREATHER.
AND IF J.J. JOHNSON CAN COME
OFF THE BENCH AND PROVIDE A
LITTLE BIT OF A CHANGE OF PACE,
JUST ANOTHER LAYER ADDED TO THIS
OFFENSE BY WANNSTEDT AND GAILEY.
>> YOU TALK ABOUT BALANCE ON
OFFENSE.
THE DOLPHINS HAVE 182 YARDS
RUSHING AND 187 PASSING.
>> NOW THURMAN THOMAS IS IN THE
GAME ON THIRD DOWN, OUT OF THE
SHOTGUN.
THIRD AND 4.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
AND THAT IS BATTED IN THE AIR
AND ALMOST INTERCEPTED!
SHAUN ELLIS BATTED IT, AND THEN
FIEDLER GOT BACK THERE TO MAKE
SURE ELLIS DIDN'T INTERCEPT IT
AND WALTZ INTO THE END ZONE.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT, AL.
IT LOOKED LIKE IF FIEDLER
DOESN'T GET IN ELLIS' WAY, ELLIS
IS GONNA MAKE THIS CATCH.
PRETTY GOOD ATHLETIC ABILITY FOR
THE ROOKIE.
WATCH HIM GET UP IN THE AIR WITH
HIS RIGHT HAND AND THEN CHASE
THE BALL DOWN.
FIEDLER KNEW HE WAS IN TROUBLE
THERE.
AND JUST GOT A RIGHT ARM IN
THERE TO KEEP ELLIS FROM PICKING
IT OFF.
>> LOOKED LIKE BO ELLIS FOR THE
OLD MARQUETTE WARRIORS THERE.
>> SHAUN ELLIS, THE FIRST OF THE
JETS' FOUR FIRST-ROUND PICKS.
NO PUNT.
WHISTLE BEFORE THE SNAP.
WALT COLEMAN.
BUSY NIGHT FOR WALT.
>> PRIOR TO THE SNAP, FALSE
START, 28, OFFENSE.
5 YARDS. STILL FOURTH DOWN.
>> THAT'S RAY HILL, AND HE'S THE
GUNNER ON THE FAR OUTSIDE.
HE JUST FLINCHED A LITTLE BIT,
AND THAT WAS ENOUGH TO GET THE
PENALTY BECAUSE THE OFFICIAL IS
STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.
>> REMEMBER THAT ONE YEAR
AL McGUIRE LET BO DESIGN THE
UNIFORMS?
HOW COOL WAS AL McGUIRE?
THE MOST OPEN-MINDED COACH OF A
MAJOR SPORT TEAM EVER.
>> THINKING ABOUT AL McGUIRE.
TOUGH TIMES FOR HIM RIGHT NOW.
DEDRIC WARD BACK TO RECEIVE
TURK'S PUNT.
WARD AT THE 30-YARD LINE.
AND DEDRIC BRINGS IT BACK UP TO
THE 37-YARD LINE.
SO THE JETS WILL TAKE OVER THERE
WITH 12:02 REMAINING IN THE
FOURTH PERIOD.
>> 12:02. EVERYBODY STAY FROSTY.
LET'S GET THIS PUPPY INTO THE
BARN.
>> VINNY 17-3 AS A STARTER FOR
THE JETS COMING IN TONIGHT BUT
DOWN BY 17.
ON FIRST DOWN, THAT PASS IS
INCOMPLETE.
IN THE DIRECTION OF
WAYNE CHREBET.
>> I HAVEN'T SEEN VINNY LOOK
LIKE THIS SINCE TAMPA BAY.
>> YOU GOT TO GIVE THE DOLPHINS
A LOT OF CREDIT, BECAUSE COMING
INTO THE GAME WITH THEIR
DEFENSE, THE ABILITY TO GET
PRESSURE ON HIM WITH JUST FOUR
GUYS -- THERE'S JUST NOT A WHOLE
LOT OF HOLES IN THIS SECONDARY
FOR HIM TO PUT THE BALL.
PLUS YOU ADD THE FACT THAT HE'S
HAVING AN OFF NIGHT AND YOU GET
THIS TYPE OF STATISTICAL MATCH
FOR HIM.
>> HE JUST LOOKS A LITTLE LOST,
THOUGH.
I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN A WHILE.
I'VE SEEN BAD GAMES, BUT I
HAVEN'T SEEN HIM LOOK LOST
AGAIN.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 10.
CAUGHT BY ANDERSON.
TO THE 42-YARD LINE.
DAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT
DOLPHIN DEFENSE.
AND THEY HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC
JOB.
AND THERE IT IS.
JIM BATES CAME OVER FROM DALLAS.
KIND OF AN UNHERALDED ASSISTANT.
BUT HE HAS DONE A MASTERFUL JOB
WITH THIS UNIT.
THIRD DOWN AND 5.
AND THAT PASS IS INCOMPLETE.
FLAG IS THROWN.
>> I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT
BATES, AL.
WHAT ROLE DID HE SERVE IN
DALLAS?
>> WELL, HE WAS THE LINEBACKERS
COACH, AND HE WAS THE DEFENSIVE
LINE COACH FOR A WHILE UNDER
BARRY SWITZER AND GAILEY.
AND THEN WANNSTEDT HAS KNOWN JIM
THROUGH THE YEARS.
VINNY VERY MUCH OFF THE MARK
TONIGHT.
>> AND PERHAPS THAT'S THE REASON
WHY THAT BALL WAS OFF THE MARK.
TRYING TO GET IT TO
RICHIE ANDERSON.
>> ILLEGAL CONTACT. 59, DEFENSE.
5 YARDS. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN.
>> DERRICK RODGERS.
>> IS LUCAS JUST SO FAR OUT OF
THE LOOP HE'S NEVER GONNA SEE
ANY ACTION?
>> GROH DID PULL VINNY AGAINST
TAMPA BAY FOR A SERIES, AND
VINNY CAME BACK IN AND PLAYED
EXTREMELY WELL.
LED THE JETS TO THAT UPSET WIN
AT THE TIME.
>> LUCAS PLAYED ALMOST THE WHOLE
PITTSBURGH GAME AND LAID AN EGG
THAT DAY.
FIRST AND 10 FROM THE 47-YARD
LINE.
TESTAVERDE HITS ANDERSON AT THE
48-YARD LINE.
>> THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT
LUCAS, THOUGH, IS HE HAS PLAYED
WELL AGAINST MIAMI -- TWO WINS
LAST YEAR WHERE HE THREW FIVE
TOUCHDOWN PASSES AND ZERO --
ZERO INTERCEPTIONS.
>> IN ADDITION TO A GREAT
SCHEME, THE DOLPHIN D REALLY
TAKES THEIR POUND OF FLESH.
THEY HIT.
>> AND THERE GOES VINNY.
HE'S GONNA TAKE OFF.
>> GET DOWN.
>> GETS THE FIRST DOWN.
TRIES TO GET TO THE SIDELINE AND
CAN'T.
AND THE DOLPHINS WRAP HIM UP IN
BOUNDS TO KEEP THE CLOCK
ROLLING.
BRIAN WALKER IS THERE.
>> THAT'S THE KIND OF NIGHT IT'S
BEEN FOR TESTAVERDE.
HERE HE MAKES A GREAT PLAY TO
PICK UP A FIRST DOWN, BUT HE
DOESN'T GO OUT OF BOUNDS.
HE'S FIGHTING FOR ALL THE WRONG
REASONS.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET IN THE END
ZONE HERE.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST STEP ON
OUT OF BOUNDS.
>> HERE'S VINNY THROWING.
A LITTLE BEHIND CHREBET, BUT HE
MAKES THE CATCH.
AND CHREBET TAKES IT INSIDE THE
20, TO THE 18-YARD LINE.
>> CHREBET IS REALLY THEIR ONLY
PLAYMAKER AS A RECEIVER.
AND HE HAS SUCH MAGIC.
WATCH THIS MOVE AFTER THE CATCH.
THIS IS WHAT -- FIRST OF ALL,
LOOK AT THE CATCH.
RIGHT THERE HE SENDS
BRIAN WALKER DOWN WITH A GREAT
MOVE.
>> NOW ON FIRST DOWN, A FLAG IS
THROWN AGAIN.
ANOTHER PENALTY.
THE PASS IS INCOMPLETE.
HIT THE GROUND.
PENALTY-FILLED GAME.
12 HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED.
>> THAT'S 12 MEN ON THE FIELD
AGAINST MIAMI.
>> WE GET THAT EVERY WEEK.
>> AND I'M NOT SURE THAT --
HOW'D YOU GET DOWN TO THE FIELD,
DENNIS?
>> 12 MEN ON THE FIELD, DEFENSE.
5 YARDS. REPEAT FIRST DOWN.
>> I GUESS THAT'S A PENALTY
YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT MORE OF
IN THE NEW FOOTBALL, WITH SO
MANY ROTATIONS INSIDE AND OUT.
I GUESS THEY DON'T QUITE KNOW
WHO THEY HAVE ON THE FIELD AT
ANY GIVEN TIME.
WE SEE ONE OF THOSE A WEEK.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
>> IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN PREVENT
SITUATIONS, WHERE A LOT OF
SUBSTITUTIONS ARE GOING ON
AGAINST A HURRY-UP OFFENSE LIKE
THE JETS ARE RUNNING NOW.
>> DAVE WANNSTEDT SCREAMING AT
THE LINE JUDGE.
OBVIOUSLY HE FELT THEY DIDN'T
HAVE 12 GUYS ON THE FIELD, THAT
SOMEBODY HAD GOTTEN OFF.
TESTAVERDE THROWING OVER THE
MIDDLE.
IT IS CAUGHT AT THE 1-YARD LINE.
AND IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN IS
RICHIE ANDERSON!
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
NOW, WHAT IF THEY HADN'T GONE
FOR THE 2, AL?
WHAT WOULD WE BE LOOKING AT
HERE?
THEY'D HAVE 20 AT THIS MOMENT.
>> IF YOU GO FOR 1, YOU WOULD'VE
BEEN DOWN BY 16 INSTEAD OF 17 AT
THIS POINT.
THEN YOU GO FOR 2.
>> WE TALKED ABOUT
RICHIE ANDERSON'S VERSATILITY.
I'M NOT SO SURE HE WAS IN THE
END ZONE BEFORE HIS KNEES WENT
DOWN.
>> AND NOW WANNSTEDT THROWS THE
FLAG, BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOOKED
AT IT UPSTAIRS, AND HE GETS THE
MESSAGE FROM THE BOOTH AND SAYS,
"LET'S CHALLENGE THIS."
THIS GAME IS LASTING AS LONG AS
A BASEBALL GAME.
>> HEAVEN FORBID.
>> OH, HEAVEN FORBID THAT
WANNSTEDT HIT AN OFFENSIVE
LINEMAN IN THE EYE WITH THAT
FLAG WHEN HE THROWS IT.
THAT'LL BE THE NEXT ODD SCENARIO
IN THE LEAGUE.
>> MIAMI HAS CHALLENGED THE
RULING ON THE FIELD THAT IT IS A
TOUCHDOWN.
>> IT LOOKED LIKE ANDERSON'S
KNEES MIGHT HAVE TOUCHED DOWN
BEFORE HE EXTENDED THE BALL OVER
THE GOAL LINE.
YOU GOT TO LOVE THIS EFFORT.
GREAT CATCH THERE.
LOOKED LIKE THAT LEFT KNEE MIGHT
HAVE BEEN DOWN.
>> THAT'S A WHOLE NEW DEMAND PUT
ON THE ASSISTANT COACHES UP TOP.
THEY'VE GOT TO KEEP THEIR EYES
PEELED, QUICKLY LET THE HEAD
COACH KNOW THAT THEY THINK
THERE'S A CHALLENGE THERE, AND
GET IT DOWN TO THE FIELD.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
SITUATIONS -- EVEN IF YOU WIN
THE CHALLENGE, THE BALL IS GONNA
BE AT ABOUT THE 2-INCH LINE,
FIRST AND GOAL.
>> I THINK IT'S GONNA BE AT
ABOUT MAYBE THE 6-INCH LINE OR
SO, AL.
>> I MEAN, IT'S WORTH A
CHALLENGE AT THIS POINT.
>> RIGHT, BUT IT KIND OF DOES
DELAY THE INEVITABLE.
YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE JETS
WOULD BE ABLE TO PUSH IT IN.
THERE HIS KNEE IS DOWN, AND
CLEARLY THE BALL IS MAYBE EVEN
AS MUCH AS A YARD FROM BEING IN
THE END ZONE.
>> AFTER REVIEWING THE PLAY, THE
RUNNER'S KNEE WAS DOWN AT THE
1-YARD LINE.
THE BALL WAS AT THE 1-YARD LINE.
IT'LL BE FIRST AND GOAL AT THE
1.
MIAMI IS NOT CHARGED A TIME-OUT.
>> THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN
UPHELD.
WALT COLEMAN TELLING THE CROWD
THAT THE RUNNER WAS DOWN AT THE
1-YARD LINE.
SO IT IS FIRST DOWN AND GOAL
WITH 10:01 LEFT IN REGULATION.
>> WELL, THE ONE TIME WE CUT
AWAY FOR A MANDATED COMMERCIAL,
THEY WRAP IT UP QUICKLY.
>> HERE IS TESTAVERDE OFF THE
PLAY FAKE.
AND HE WILL TOSS INTO THE END
ZONE.
CAUGHT. TOUCHDOWN.
JERMAINE WIGGINS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
A LOT OF TIME LEFT.
>> THIS IS WIGGINS' SECOND CATCH
OF THE YEAR AND HIS FIRST
TOUCHDOWN OF HIS CAREER.
SO WE'VE GOT COLES OFF THE
SCHNEID AND NOW WIGGINS.
REALLY A FINE ROUTE THERE
UNDERNEATH.
AND TESTAVERDE BEING VERY
PATIENT, FINDING HIM.
[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]
>> AND NOW THE JETS FOR THE
EXTRA POINT TO TRY TO PULL THEM
WITHIN 10.
AND THAT IS GOOD.
THE JETS, 63 YARDS.
WIGGINS, THE 1-YARD TOUCHDOWN
CATCH.
BROCK MARION BACK TO RECEIVE THE
KICK.
AND WITH NEW YORK DOWN BY 10,
HALL'S KICK IS FIELDED AT THE
10-YARD LINE BY MARION.
OUT PAST THE 20.
THE 30.
AND HE BRINGS IT BACK TO THE
34-YARD LINE.
>> WELL, THE CROWD HAS BEEN CUT
IN HALF, AL.
BUT THOSE WHO STAYED ARE
REINVIGORATED.
>> WELL, THEY'VE GOT TO LIKE
THIS GAME PLANNING BY
DAN HENNING.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PLAY CALL
BY HENNING, BECAUSE HE FINDS THE
YOUNG TIGHT END RIGHT HERE,
GUARDED BY TRACE ARMSTRONG,
NUMBER 93.
WATCH WIGGINS CUT ACROSS THE
MIDDLE.
ARMSTRONG GOES DOWN.
AND NOW HE'S TOO LATE TO MAKE A
PLAY ON THE BALL.
GREAT CALL BY HENNING.
>> FIRST DOWN FOR THE DOLPHINS
AT THE 35-YARD LINE.
>> THERE WE GO.
>> AND THEY BEGIN ON THE GROUND
WITH LAMAR SMITH GOING NEXT TO
NOWHERE.
SO THE CROWD IS REINVIGORATED,
THE JET DEFENSE IS
REINVIGORATED, AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN WHAT LOOKED TO BE A WALK
IN THE PARK FOR DAVE WANNSTEDT
IS ANYTHING BUT.
>> THE ONE THING TESTAVERDE TOLD
ME THIS WEEK IS THIS TEAM HAS SO
MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THEIR DEFENSE
TO KEEP THINGS CLOSE.
WELL, THEY DIDN'T EXACTLY DO
THAT TONIGHT, BUT THEY KNOW THAT
THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO HANG IN
THERE.
AND HE PLAYS BETTER IN THE
FOURTH QUARTER, WHEN THE
PRESSURE'S ON THE MOST.
HE HAS TURNED HIS GAME AROUND.
>> SECOND AND 10 FROM THE
35-YARD LINE.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
SMITH AGAIN.
GAINS 2, AND IT'LL SET UP A
THIRD AND 7.
MET FIRST BY MARVIN JONES.
>> THE ONLY THING THOSE TWO
PLAYS DID WAS TAKE ABOUT A
MINUTE AND A HALF OFF THE CLOCK.
FIEDLER LOOKING PUZZLED AT THOSE
TWO CALLS.
A COUPLE OF DIVES RIGHT INTO THE
MIDDLE OF THE JET DEFENSE.
THE CLOCK IS STILL ROLLING, BUT
THE JETS HAVE MOMENTUM.
>> WHO'D HAVE THUNK IT THAT WE'D
HAVE A GAME?
I GUESS IT ALL TURNED ON THAT
LAVERANUES COLES TOUCHDOWN
CATCH, HUH?
>> THAT WAS PART OF IT.
>> OUT OF THE SHOTGUN.
THEY HAVE TO GET TO THE 45 TO
CONVERT.
INSIDE HAND-OFF.
THOMAS STOPPED WELL SHY OF THE
FIRST, AND SO IT'S THREE AND
OUT.
>> A LACK OF CONFIDENCE SHOWN IN
THIS PASSING OFFENSE.
REMEMBER, BERT EMANUEL IS OUT OF
THE GAME.
HE'S THEIR NICKEL RECEIVER.
SO THE DOLPHINS ELECT JUST TO
RUN SOME TIME OFF THE CLOCK AND
KICK IT BACK TO THE JETS.
>> MATT TURK WILL PUNT.
DEDRIC WARD BACK TO RECEIVE IT.
AND NOW IT'S EVEN THE LITTLE
THINGS.
IT'S FAIR-CAUGHT AT THE 18.
IT LOOKED AS IF MIAMI WOULD BE
WALTZING HOME INTO THE NIGHT
6-1.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEIR LEAD IS
NOW 10.
THE JETS HAVE 7 1/2 MINUTES
REMAINING, AND THEY HAVE A FIRST
DOWN AT THEIR OWN 19-YARD LINE.
TESTAVERDE OVER THE MIDDLE.
THAT'S CAUGHT BY COLES.
A FLAG COMES IN BECAUSE
TESTAVERDE GOT WHACKED AT THE
END OF THE PLAY.
AND ANOTHER FLAG COMES OUT --
AND A THIRD ONE.
SO YOU HAVE A FLAG DOWN BEHIND
TESTAVERDE AND TWO ON THE
SIDELINE AT THE END OF THE PLAY.
>> VINNY GOT WHACKED PRETTY
GOOD.
THAT GOT THE FIRST PENALTY.
HERE IS COLES WORKING AGAINST
SAM MADISON, WHO DROPS OFF HIS
COVERAGE FOR SOME UNKNOWN
REASON.
MUST HAVE THOUGHT HE HAD HELP ON
THE INSIDE.
LOOK AT COLES STRUGGLE.
HE WAS A PRETTY GOOD HIGH SCHOOL
RUNNING BACK.
JERRY WILSON'S GONNA GET THAT
FLAG FOR KNOCKING HIM OUT OF
BOUNDS.
HERE'S THE FIRST ONE.
>> PERSONAL FOUL.
ROUGHING THE QUARTERBACK,
NUMBER 83 OF THE DEFENSE.
THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED.
PERSONAL FOUL.
UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS,
NUMBER 24, DEFENSE.
THAT PENALTY WILL BE ACCEPTED.
15 YARDS. FIRST DOWN.
>> BOY, THE DOLPHINS ARE DOING
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE
THE JETS GET BACK IN THIS GAME.
>> I GUESS VINNY REALLY DOES
FEEL HE HAS TO HAVE HIS BACK TO
THE WALL.
>> ARMSTRONG A LITTLE FRUSTRATED
TONIGHT.
HE LETS VINNY HAVE IT WAY TOO
LATE.
YOU CAN SEE HOW GUILTY HE WAS.
TRYING TO KEEP VINNY STANDING.
>> TO THE 44-YARD LINE.
TONIGHT THE DOLPHINS HAVE GIVEN
UP AS MANY TOUCHDOWNS IN THIS
GAME AS THEY HAD IN SIX GAMES
CUMULATIVELY COMING IN.
>> TOLD YOU ABOUT VINNY BEING A
FOURTH-QUARTER QUARTERBACK.
>> AND THE JETS WITH THREE
FOURTH-QUARTER COME-FROM-BEHIND
WINS THIS SEASON.
THAT IS CAUGHT BY COLES, AND
IT'S A GOOD OPEN-FIELD TACKLE BY
BRIAN WALKER.
ALL OVER THE JOINT TONIGHT.
THE JETS HAVE BEEN GOING WITHOUT
A HUDDLE SINCE THE FOURTH
QUARTER BEGAN.
SECOND DOWN AND 6.
FROM THE 40.
VINNY. OUT PATTERN.
CAUGHT. WARD.
OUT OF BOUNDS, 33.
FIRST DOWN.
>> ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS, IT'S
BETTER FOR VINNY TO HAVE THE
NO-HUDDLE.
HE HAS LESS TIME TO THINK ABOUT
IT, MORE TIME JUST TO GO ON
IMPULSE POWER.
>> AND THE DOLPHINS HAVE LOST
ALL THEIR AGGRESSION ON DEFENSE.
THEIR BUMP-AND-RUN HAS TOTALLY
DISAPPEARED.
THEY'RE NOT GETTING INTO THE
RECEIVERS AND THROWING THEM OFF
THEIR PATTERNS.
THEY'RE NOT GUARDING THEM AT
ALL.
>> THEY LOST THEIR AGGRESSION ON
OFFENSE, TOO.
I LOOKED DOWN AT FIEDLER'S
STATS.
HE'S 12 FOR 24 FOR 187.
HE HAD THAT IN THE FIRST QUARTER
ALMOST.
THEY GOT A LITTLE TOO
CONSERVATIVE.
>> YEAH.
>> FROM THE 33-YARD LINE.
VINNY THROWING.
CAUGHT AT THE 23-YARD LINE.
BUT NO.
OUT OF BOUNDS BECAUSE HE WAS
JUGGLING.
IT'S COLES.
HAD HE HAD POSSESSION, HE HAD
BOTH FEET IN.
BUT HE DIDN'T.
JUGGLES. INCOMPLETE.
>> HE RAN ALL THE WAY ACROSS
THE FIELD.
HERE'S COLES.
VINNY IS ON THE RUN AS WELL.
THAT'S A GREAT CALL BY THE
OFFICIALS.
IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO
LOOK DOWN TO SEE WHERE HE WAS AS
HE KNEW HE WAS GETTING CLOSE TO
THE SIDELINE.
>> I THINK HALFWAY ACROSS HE WAS
CHECKING ON CROSSING TRAFFIC,
TOO.
HE DIDN'T WANT TO GET CUT IN
HALF.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 10 FROM THE
33-YARD LINE.
VINNY FOR WARD.
INCOMPLETE.
REACHING UP WAS PATRICK SURTAIN
WITH THE COVERAGE.
THIRD DOWN AND 10.
THIRD DOWN AND 10 AT THE 33.
AND THAT IS CAUGHT BY CHREBET!
RIGHT OVER THE MIDDLE GOES
WAYNE, TO THE 18-YARD LINE.
ANOTHER JET FIRST DOWN.
>> AS BAD AS VINNY TESTAVERDE
PLAYED FOR THREE QUARTERS
TONIGHT -- AND HE PLAYED
HORRIBLY -- HE IS PLAYING JUST
THE OPPOSITE.
HE'S MAGNIFICENT RIGHT NOW.
>> IT STARTED AT MIDNIGHT.
LIKE TUESDAY MORNING INSTEAD OF
MONDAY NIGHT.
>> FROM THE 17.
VINNY THROWS.
AND FALLING DOWN, BECAUSE HE
WOULD'VE HAD IT, WAS
CURTIS MARTIN.
HE JUST SLIPPED.
>> BOY, AND HE GOT THE BALL
RIGHT IN THE FACE, TOO.
TESTAVERDE ON TARGET.
AGAIN A LITTLE BIT BEHIND
MARTIN.
THAT'S WHY HE SLIPPED.
GO BACK TO THE WAYNE CHREBET
CATCH.
WHAT A TOUGH GUY OVER THE
MIDDLE.
THIS IS REALLY WHERE YOU EARN
RESPECT FROM YOUR TEAMMATES AND
FROM PLAYERS AROUND THE LEAGUE.
MAKING THE CATCH, TAKING THE
HIT.
>> SECOND AND 10 FROM THE 17.
VINNY.
TO THE END ZONE.
IS IT CAUGHT?
IT IS CAUGHT AT THE 1/2-YARD
LINE.
ONE OFFICIAL CHECKS WITH THE
OTHER THEN SAYS NO!
THE FIELD JUDGE IS BEHIND
MARTIN.
MARION WITH THE COVERAGE.
AND THE FIELD JUDGE CLOSEST TO
THE PLAY HAD TO LOOK ALL THE WAY
ACROSS THE FIELD TO GET THE
INCOMPLETE SIGN.
>> THIS ONE MAY BE WORTH A
CHALLENGE.
THAT'S A CATCH.
THAT'S A CATCH.
IT LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE
GONE THROUGH TO HIS ELBOWS.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
AT FIRST LOOK, HE HAD BOTH HANDS
UNDER THAT BALL.
>> THAT'S TOUGH.
FROM THAT ANGLE, YOU CAN'T
OVERTURN THAT.
THAT'S A CATCH.
NO. HE CALLED IT NO CATCH.
>> HE CALLED IT NO CATCH.
>> BUT, AL, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I MEAN, THE MAN THAT MADE THE
CALL WAS A GOOD 40 YARDS AWAY.
>> THE REFEREE OR THE OFFICIAL
BEHIND HIM DOESN'T HAVE A VIEW
OF IT, BECAUSE THERE HE IS,
LOOKING.
AND THEN HE'S LOOKING ACROSS THE
FIELD TO SEE WHAT THE OTHER
OFFICIAL HAS TO SAY.
WITH THAT INDICATION, HE ALMOST
INDICATES THE PASS WAS CAUGHT.
PUTTING HIS LEFT HAND UP IN THE
AIR.
ARE THEY GOING TO CHALLENGE IS
THE QUESTION.
>> AND THE ANSWER IS YES.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> NOW, THAT IS A VERY TOUGH
CALL, BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE
BALL BEGINNING TO COME OUT OF
HIS GRASP.
THE FIELD JUDGE IS WAITING
FOR -- I BELIEVE IT'S THE LINE
JUDGE OR THE SIDE JUDGE -- I
COULDN'T TELL -- TO COME IN AND
MAKE THE CALL -- COMPLETE OR
INCOMPLETE.
SO HERE GOES WALT COLEMAN NOW TO
DETERMINE, POSSIBLY, THE FATE OF
THIS GAME.
>> WELL, I FIGURE IF THE GUY WAS
SO INTENT ON MAKING HIS CALL
THAT HE SLIPPED AND FELL ON HIS
TUKHUS LIKE THAT, HE MUST HAVE
SAW SOMETHING.
>> MM.
OH.
>> LOOKED LIKE THE BALL WAS
LOOSE THERE.
BUT THAT SIGNAL THERE SIGNIFIES
THAT IT IS A CATCH.
AND HE IS OVERRULED.
>> HE'S OVERRULED BY THE OTHER
OFFICIAL COMING IN, MEANING ON
THE CHALLENGE THEY HAVE TO SEE
INDISPUTABLE VISUAL EVIDENCE
THAT IT IS A CATCH.
>> ANOTHER THING THAT OFFICIAL
DIDN'T SEE WAS BROCK MARION
HOLDING CURTIS MARTIN.
HE HAD AHOLD OF HIS RIGHT ARM
THERE.
>> WELL, THE OFFICIAL WHO MADE
THE CALL CATCH OBVIOUSLY DID
WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE.
HE WAS COMPLETELY BLOCKED OUT.
HE HAD TO MAKE THAT CALL.
THAT'S ALL HE COULD SEE.
>> HE IS SIGNALING --
>> NO, THAT'S A CALL.
>> THE CALL IS THAT THAT IS
WHERE MARTIN HAS BEEN STOPPED.
HE SEES THE BALL AT THAT POINT.
BUT THEN THE OTHER OFFICIAL
COMES SLIDING IN AND SAID, "I
HAD A BETTER ANGLE, AND HE DID
NOT MAKE THE CATCH."
ONCE AGAIN, THE FIELD JUDGE, WHO
CAN BE OVERRULED BY ANOTHER
OFFICIAL WHO SAID, "I HAD A
BETTER VIEW."
AND THERE HE IS LOOKING AT THE
OTHER OFFICIAL, WHO SAID, "I HAD
A BETTER VIEW OF THIS.
THE CATCH WAS NOT MADE."
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DIDN'T
SEE THE PASS INTERFERENCE,
THOUGH.
HE'S STANDING ABOUT SIX FEET
AWAY FROM MARION AND
CURTIS MARTIN.
SAFE!
>> THAT IS THE UMPIRE, ACTUALLY,
UNDREY WASH, WHO COMES IN AND
MAKES THE CALL.
THE FIELD JUDGE...
>> THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING.
>> ...IS SCOTT STEENSON.
NOW WALT COLEMAN IS THE MAN OF
THIS VERY LATE HOUR.
>> AFTER REVIEWING THE PLAY, THE
RULING ON THE FIELD STANDS.
THE BALL WENT THROUGH THE
RECEIVER'S ARMS AND HIT THE
GROUND.
THE JETS ARE CHARGED WITH A TEAM
TIME-OUT.
[ CROWD BOOING ]
>> THEY HAVE NOW LOST TWO
TIME-OUTS ON CHALLENGES, AND
THEY ARE DOWN TO ONE.
A 3 1/2-MINUTE INTERRUPTION OF
THE GAME.
I AGREE WITH IT, DAN.
I DIDN'T SEE EVIDENCE TO
OVERTURN THE INCOMPLETE CALL.
>> YEAH.
MARTIN'S BACK WAS TO THE
OFFICIAL.
IT APPEARED AT FIRST HE HAD BOTH
HANDS UNDER IT, BUT HIS HANDS
DID NOT STOP THE BALL.
IT WENT BETWEEN HIS ELBOWS AND
HIT THE GROUND.
>> CERTAINLY FROM THAT ONE ANGLE
FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE FIELD
RIGHT ON THE SIDE, IT DID LOOK
LIKE IT COULD'VE SLIPPED
THROUGH.
SO CERTAINLY YOU COULDN'T
OVERTURN IT.
>> IT IS GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN
AND 10 NOW.
IT WAS WALSH WHO CAME SLIDING IN
TO MAKE THE CALL.
HE HAD THE BETTER ANGLE.
>> GIVE HIM SOME PROPS.
HE WAS HUSTLING OVER THERE, TOO.
>> THEY ARE DELAYING IT RIGHT
NOW.
IT'S CONCEIVABLE THEY'RE TRYING
TO PUT A COUPLE OF SECONDS BACK
ON THE CLOCK.
BUT THEY'RE READY TO GO RIGHT
NOW WITH 5:51 REMAINING AND
ANOTHER KEY PLAY COMING UP HERE.
THIRD DOWN AND 10 AT THE 17-YARD
LINE.
UNDER PRESSURE.
OFF HIS BACK FOOT.
THE PASS IS INCOMPLETE.
THE PRESSURE WAS ON THAT TIME.
THE DOLPHIN LINE DID ITS JOB.
VINNY FORCED TO THROW HASTILY.
AND IT'S FOURTH DOWN.
AND NOW DOWN BY 10, THEY'RE
GONNA ATTEMPT THE FIELD GOAL
FROM HALL HERE AND GIVE THE BALL
BACK, AND THEY'LL NEED TO SCORE
7.
>> AND THAT CHALLENGE, IT TOOK
SO LONG.
IT REALLY STOLE ALL THE MOMENTUM
AWAY FROM THE JETS.
IF THEY HAD JUST LINED UP AND
NOT HAD THE CHALLENGE, THEY
WOULD'VE STILL HAD THAT GOOD
FEELING ABOUT THEMSELVES.
BUT THAT 3 1/2 MINUTES KILLED
THEM.
>> MEANWHILE, FOR THE DOLPHINS,
THIS FOURTH QUARTER MUST SEEM
LIKE A WEEK.
THIS IS A 35-YARD ATTEMPT FOR
JOHN HALL.
TUPA TO HOLD.
SNAP WAS A LITTLE ERRANT, BUT
TUPA GOT IT DOWN, AND HALL BANGS
IT THROUGH.
SHORT KICK.
DROPPED.
PICKED UP AT THE 14-YARD LINE BY
BROCK MARION.
UP TO THE 31-YARD LINE.
YOU KNOW, IF I GO BACK TO THE
CURIOUS CALL AT 30-13 ON THE
2-POINT TRY INSTEAD OF THE 1.
IF IT PLAYS OUT THE WAY IT HAD,
THE SCORE RIGHT NOW, IF THEY HAD
GONE FOR THE 1 POINT, WOULD'VE
BEEN 30-24 AND THEY'D BE GOING
FOR THE WIN AND NOT A TIE.
BUT...
>> AL, THAT'S WHY YOU ARE A
GUEST ON "SQUAWK BOX" -- THE
NUMBERS, THE WHOLE THING.
YOU'RE ALL OVER IT.
>> I LOVED BEING ON "SQUAWK BOX"
TODAY.
I JUST LOVED IT.
>> I KNOW.
YOU LOOKED EXUBERANT.
>> YOU'RE GONNA GET AN EMMY.
>> FIRST DOWN FROM THE 29-YARD
LINE.
FIEDLER THROWS.
AND THAT IS NOT CAUGHT.
INCOMPLETE.
INTENDED FOR ORONDE GADSDEN.
SO THEY COME OUT THROWING.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA SIT ON IT.
>> WHAT KILLS YOU THERE IS RIGHT
HERE.
SEE THAT CLOCK? STOPPED.
YOU THROW THE BALL, YOU GOT TO
MAKE COMPLETIONS, KEEP THAT
CLOCK ROLLING.
>> I'D GO UP TOP AGAIN.
>> SECOND AND 10 AT THE 29-YARD
LINE.
FIEDLER. FLAG THROWN.
CAUGHT. 42.
FOR THE MOMENT A FIRST DOWN.
ORONDE GADSDEN.
BUT A MARKER BACK AT THE 23-YARD
LINE.
>> SAME PLAY, BETTER EXECUTED.
>> BECAUSE OF HOLDING AGAINST
THE OFFENSIVE LINE.
AGAIN THE CLOCK STOPS.
5 SECONDS IS ALL THAT GOES OFF
THE CLOCK.
>> HOLDING. 71, OFFENSE.
10 YARDS. REPEAT SECOND DOWN.
>> GOT THE ROOKIE, TODD WADE,
WHO'S HAD A HECK OF A GAME
RUN-BLOCKING.
THAT TIME PASS-BLOCKING, GOT
CALLED FOR HOLDING.
THIS IS TWICE AS MANY PENALTIES
FOR THE DOLPHINS AS THEY
AVERAGE.
RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.
THERE'S THE HOLD RIGHT THERE BY
WADE.
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A HOLD
THAT NO QUARTERBACK WILL EVER
GET UPSET WITH HIS OFFENSIVE
LINEMAN, BECAUSE CLEARLY
RICK LYLE HAD A CLEAR SHOT AT
JAY FIEDLER.
>> THE CLOCK NOW STARTS AGAIN
BECAUSE WE'RE OUTSIDE THE
5-MINUTE MARK.
SO WHEN THE BALL IS SIGNALED
READY FOR PLAY, THAT'S WHY IT'S
RUNNING.
ON SECOND AND 20.
FIEDLER THROWING INTO TRAFFIC
AND IS LUCKY IT WASN'T PICKED
OFF.
THREE GREEN SHIRTS --
VICTOR GREEN AND MARCUS COLEMAN
WERE TWO OF THEM -- SURROUNDING
THE INTENDED RECEIVER.
>> AND, AL, I THINK "GREEN" IS
THE OPERATIVE WORD HERE -- GREEN
AS IN EXPERIENCE FOR
JAY FIEDLER.
THAT WAS A DISASTROUS THROW.
AGAIN, LUCKY THAT THE JETS
DIDN'T COME AWAY WITH IT.
TRYING TO GET SHEPHERD HERE.
LOOK AT VICTOR GREEN.
AND MARCUS COLEMAN.
IF THEY DON'T BUMP INTO EACH
OTHER, COLEMAN MAKES THE CATCH
EASILY.
>> FIEDLER SACKED AT THE 6-YARD
LINE!
BRYAN COX UNABATED TO THE
QUARTERBACK.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> HAVEN'T CALLED COX'S NAME
THAT MUCH TONIGHT.
HE'S SAVING IT UP FOR THE BIG
PLAY.
>> FIRST SACK OF THE NIGHT FOR
THE JETS DEFENSE.
AND, BOY, DO THEY NEED IT.
BRYAN COX COMES UP WITH A BIG
PLAY AGAINST HIS FORMER TEAM.
AND HE IS UNABATED AND BARELY
BLOCKED BY RICHMOND WEBB.
TOO MUCH SPEED FOR WEBB AROUND
THE CORNER.
>> WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT, AL.
THEY WISH THEY HAD THAT EXTRA
POINT NOW.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> STILL 4:38 LEFT IN
REGULATION.
TURK'S KICK IS A BAD ONE.
IT'S A CORKSCREW THAT ROLLS DEAD
AT THE 39-YARD LINE.
>> HEY, THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
THE WAY THIS IS GOING, THE JETS
MIGHT GET TWO MORE SCORES.
>> IT'S A 23-POINT DEFICIT
THEY'RE TRYING TO ERASE AFTER A
34-YARD KICK.
THE DOLPHINS ALLOWING, AS WE'VE
MENTIONED, AS MANY TOUCHDOWNS
TONIGHT AS THEY HAD IN
24 QUARTERS.
>> THE AMAZING THING IS THAT --
REMEMBER HOW POORLY THE JETS
LOOKED?
THEY LOOKED AWFUL IN THE FIRST
HALF -- THROUGH THREE QUARTERS.
NOW THE DOLPHINS LOOK THAT WAY.
TERRIBLE, 34-YARD PUNT THAT
TIME.
LOOK AT THE FIELD POSITION FOR
THE JETS.
>> FROM THE 39-YARD LINE.
FIRST DOWN.
AND ANDERSON ALMOST RAN INTO
TESTAVERDE.
BUT EVERYTHING IS WORKING!
MARTIN TAKES IT TO THE 24.
THEY HAD ANDERSON IN MOTION, WHO
NEARLY RAN INTO VINNY ON THE WAY
BACK.
>> HE WAS LOOKING FOR THOSE TO
HELP OUT ON THE BLITZ PICKUP.
AND HE DID A NICE JOB.
YOU'RE RIGHT -- IT'S ALL WORKING
FOR THE JETS.
>> NOW TESTAVERDE SCRAMBLING.
THROWING.
AND THAT'S INCOMPLETE.
INTENDED FOR RICHIE ANDERSON.
>> HARD TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU'VE
SEEN A TURNAROUND LIKE THIS.
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO GO BACK TO
THAT BUFFALO PLAYOFF GAME YEARS
AGO.
BUFFALO-HOUSTON, WASN'T IT?
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
FRANK REICH LEADING THE
COMEBACK.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW SAM MADISON'S
WISHING HE HAD HAMMERED THAT
BALL INTO THE GROUND.
>> JETS, ONLY ONE WIN IN THEIR
HISTORY, WHICH BEGAN IN 1960,
IN WHICH THEY TRAILED BY 20 OR
MORE POINTS.
THAT WAS AGAINST DENVER IN '78.
THIS WOULD BE THE BIGGEST
DEFICIT EVER OVERCOME.
THAT ONE WAS 21.
>> CHREBET.
>> HERE'S VINNY THROWING TO THE
END ZONE FOR CHREBET!
CAN HE MAKE THE CATCH?
YES!
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> CHREBET.
LOOK AT THIS.
>> WE'VE SEEN THAT CATCH BEFORE.
SIX WEEKS AGO, IN THE SECOND
GAME OF THE SEASON, THAT'S THE
CATCH HE MADE AGAINST THE
PATRIOTS TO WIN THE GAME.
>> ALMOST AN EXACT REPLAY, AL.
SAME CORNER OF THE END ZONE.
>> CHREBET IS MAGIC.
>> NOW THE EXTRA POINT TO TIE
THE GAME, AND THERE'S STILL
3:55 TO GO.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
AND FOR THOSE JETS FANS WHO LEFT
THIS STADIUM ABOUT AN HOUR AGO
AND WHOSE RADIOS ARE BROKEN IN
THEIR CAR, HAVE WE GOT NEWS FOR
YOU.
>> NOW, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
PASS PATTERNS THAT ONLY VINNY
AND CHREBET CAN WORK.
CHREBET WAS LOOKING FOR IT OVER
HIS INSIDE SHOULDER.
VINNY THREW IT OVER THE OUTSIDE
BECAUSE HE READ THE DEFENSE.
HE SAW WAYNE GET BEHIND
JERRY WILSON AND HAD CONFIDENCE
THAT CHREBET COULD MAKE THE
ADJUSTMENT ON THIS BEAUTIFULLY
THROWN PASS.
>> DID YOU SEE CHREBET EXPLODE
PAST WILSON?
UNBELIEVABLE.
>> HERE'S A GUY THAT YOU NEVER
WOULD EVER TALK ABOUT HIS 40
SPEED -- YOU KNOW, 4.19, 4.2,
4.3.
HE'S GOT FOOTBALL SPEED.
LOOK AT THE QUICKNESS TO GET
FREE AND THEN THE AWARENESS THAT
THE BALL'S COMING OVER HIS OTHER
SHOULDER.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
>> ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS CALL HIS
NUMBER.
HE'LL RUN THROUGH A WALL FOR
YOU.
>> YOU OUGHT TO GET THAT JERSEY
THAT YOU WORE AUTOGRAPHED BY
WAYNE CHREBET.
>> I'M GETTING A NUMBER 80
TATTOO.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> LOOK AT VINNY.
>> THE GAME IS TIED.
>> IT'S LIKE THE TWO FACES OF
EVE.
>> IT CERTAINLY IS THE TWO
HALVES OF VINNY.
THERE'S NO QUESTION.
>> IN TOTAL YARDAGE, IT'S ALMOST
A DEAD HEAT -- 361 FOR MIAMI AND
360 FOR THE ONCE-MORIBUND JETS.
BROCK MARION FROM THE 7.
AND BROCK MARION IS INTO JETS
TERRITORY.
TAKEN DOWN AT THE 46-YARD LINE.
>> SOMETIMES YOU EXPEND SO MUCH
PSYCHIC ENERGY GETTING BACK TO
EVEN FOOTING, YOU FORGET ABOUT
THE LITTLE THINGS, LIKE STOPPING
A KICKOFF RETURN.
>> BUT THAT SHOWS YOU THE
DOLPHINS -- YOU KNOW, THEY'RE
NOT 5-1 FOR NOTHING.
THEY'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD
FOOTBALL TEAM.
THIS IS ANSWERING THE CHALLENGE
RIGHT NOW FOR BROCK MARION.
>> AND WATCH JOHN HALL HERE, THE
KICKER, WHO'S IN ON THE TACKLE,
BECAUSE HE GOES LIMPING OFF THE
FIELD AFTER THIS PLAY.
THERE HE IS.
AND THAT, OF COURSE, COULD BE
HUGE IN A TIE GAME AT THE END.
>> I THINK HE CAME DOWN ON HIS
RIGHT KNEECAP OR SOMETHING.
>> FIRST DOWN FOR MIAMI AT THE
46-YARD LINE.
THEY HAVE ALL OF THEIR TIME-OUTS
PLUS THE 2-MINUTE WARNING.
FIEDLER.
AND HE'S GOING FOR 6!
INTO THE END ZONE AND WIDE OPEN
IS SHEPHERD!
TOUCHDOWN, MIAMI!
THIS IS A STREET GAME.
>> THIS IS A JET-DOLPHIN
OFFENSIVE GAME THAT WE KIND OF
PREDICTED BEFORE THE GAME,
RIGHT, AL?
>> UNBELIEVABLE.
>> TALKING ABOUT ALL THAT
DEFENSE.
I THINK WE MISSED ON THIS ONE A
LITTLE BIT.
WHAT A PLAY BY FIEDLER.
AND WHAT A CALL BY CHAN GAILEY.
THEY HAD GREAT FIELD POSITION.
COULD HAVE MOVED THE BALL DOWN
THE FIELD AND KICKED THE WINNING
FIELD GOAL.
BUT GAILEY GOES FOR THE HOME RUN
ON FIRST DOWN AND GETS IT.
>> I HAD A VIBE THIS IS THE WAY
IT WAS GONNA PLAY OUT TONIGHT.
>> YEAH, YOU DID.
[ LAUGHS ] YEAH, YOU DID.
>> THE EXTRA POINT BY MARE IS
GOOD.
SO THE RUNBACK BY MARION.
THE BOMB FROM FIEDLER TO
SHEPHERD.
THAT'S HIS SECOND TOUCHDOWN
CATCH OF THE NIGHT.
>> WHO'S WINNING?
[ LAUGHS ]
LOOK AT THE LITTLE OUT-AND-UP
MOVE.
AARON GLENN DROPS HIS COVERAGE.
NOW HE'S LOOKING FOR HELP FROM
VICTOR GREEN.
WHAT A PASS BY JAY FIEDLER.
AIRED THAT ONE OUT ABOUT
60 YARDS ON A LINE.
>> LESLIE DOING THE "SHH."
>> SO I SEE SHEPHERD BEFORE THE
GAME.
HE SAYS, "CAN YOU MENTION THAT
MY SON, KHALEK, WHO'S 8 YEARS
OLD, IS ON THE PRO BOWL TEAM IN
HIS YOUTH FOOTBALL
ORGANIZATION?"
I SAID, "LESLIE, YOU TURN IN TWO
BIG PLAYS TONIGHT, I'M YOUR
GUY."
I JUST DID IT, LESLIE.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
I THINK DAD MAY BE GOING TO THE
PRO BOWL IF HE KEEPS THIS UP.
>> IT'S LIKE LESLIE CALLED THE
SHOT.
THAT'S FOR YOU, KHALEK.
>> YES.
CHAN GAILEY REVERTING BACK TO
HIS O.C. DAYS AT PITTSBURGH.
AND THE REACTION OF THOSE ON THE
JETS BENCH.
AFTER WATCHING A 23-POINT
COMEBACK GO BACK OUT THE WINDOW
IN ABOUT A 1:40.
ONE TIME-OUT PLUS THE
2-MINUTE WARNING.
THEY HAVE SCORED 24 POINTS --
23, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE THEY WENT
FOR THE 2 AND DIDN'T GET IT --
ON THEIR LAST FOUR POSSESSIONS.
AND THAT IS CAUGHT BY
CURTIS MARTIN AS HE CROSSES THE
50, TO THE 47.
AND THE JETS HAVE NOT HAD A
SINGLE HUDDLE IN THE FOURTH
QUARTER.
>> AND IT'S WORKED SUPERBLY FOR
THEM.
THE HUDDLE WAS SCREWING THEM UP.
THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.
>> THAT'S A LITTLE DUMP-OFF TO
MARTIN!
AND HE TAKES IT TO THE 37-YARD
LINE.
>> VINNY THREW THAT LIKE I THROW
IT.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> IT'S LIKE IN A PUB, SHOOTING
DARTS.
>> THAT OFFENSIVE LINE IS DOING
A JOB.
ONLY ONE SACK ON VINNY ALL NIGHT
LONG, AND THAT CAME ON THE VERY
FIRST SERIES OF PLAYS.
>> TESTAVERDE WITH A 313-YARD
NIGHT.
COMES THIS WAY.
AND THE CATCH IS -- YES.
IT IS MADE AT THE 31-YARD LINE.
DEDRIC WARD.
FLAG IS THROWN AT THE END OF THE
PLAY.
>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A
CIRCUITOUS ROUTE TO 313 YARDS,
AL.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY TAKE
 THIS TRAIL.
>> WACKO.
HOLDING, DEFENSE -- MIAMI.
>> THIS WILL GIVE THEM A FIRST
DOWN.
THE CATCH WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN
THEM A FIRST DOWN, SO THEY'LL
TAKE THE PENALTY AND THE
5 YARDS.
>> AS SOON AS THEY WENT BACK AND
OPENED UP THE OFFENSE, FIEDLER
STARTED CLICKING AGAIN.
MAYBE THIS WILL BE AN ABJECT
LESSON FOR WANNSTEDT NOT TO SIT
ON IT THAT EARLY NEXT TIME.
>> WELL, REMEMBER THAT ONE
SERIES OF PLAYS WHEN THEY WENT
THREE STRAIGHT HAND-OFFS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE
AND JUST KICKED THE BALL BACK TO
THE JETS AND THE JETS GOT HOT.
>> YEAH, BUT LIKE YOU SAID AT
THE TIME, THEY DID BURN
2 MINUTES THERE.
HE COULDN'T HAVE FORESEEN IT
GETTING THIS WEIRD.
BUT I THINK EARLIER ON IN THE
GAME, HE GOT TOO CONSERVATIVE,
TOO.
>> AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN.
>> JERRY WILSON.
>> HERE HE IS -- NUMBER 24,
RIGHT THERE, AND HE REACHES OUT
AND GRABS CHREBET AROUND THE
THROAT.
>> I'M PRETTY SURE I'D GET THAT
KID OFF CHREBET RIGHT NOW,
'CAUSE CHREBET, I THINK,
BELIEVES HE CAN DO ANYTHING.
>> THE ONE THING THE DOLPHINS
ARE GONNA DO IS PLAY TWO-DEEP
AND GIVE THE CORNERBACKS HELP
DEEP.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA LEAVE CHREBET
ALONE ANYMORE.
>> VINNY WITH A 211-YARD
QUARTER.
AND EVEN MORE!
WIDE OPEN IS ANDERSON.
ANDERSON TO THE 12-YARD LINE.
FIRST DOWN.
>> YOU KNOW, YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE
SOME TIME OFF THE CLOCK NOW.
IF YOU SCORE TOO QUICKLY, THE
DOLPHINS GET THE BALL BACK, AND
THEY'VE GOT THREE TIME-OUTS
LEFT.
>> VINNY. TO THE GROUND!
MARTIN TAKEN DOWN AT THE 6-YARD
LINE.
BRIAN WALKER COMES IN.
IT'S GOING TO BE SECOND DOWN AND
3.
AND THE JETS WILL TAKE A
TIME-OUT HERE, THEIR FINAL
TIME-OUT.
AND THEN THEY HAVE ONE MORE
STOPPAGE, AT THE 2-MINUTE
WARNING.
SECOND DOWN, 3, FROM THE 6.
>> THOSE GAMES ARE CALLED ON
ACCOUNT OF SUN-UP.
>> VINNY TO THE END ZONE.
AND OFF HIS BACK FOOT.
IT'S INCOMPLETE.
TIPPED IN THE AIR BY
BRIAN WALKER.
>> STILL GOT 5 SECONDS BEFORE
THE 2-MINUTE WARNING.
[ LAUGHS ]
>> THAT WAS A GREAT PLAY BY
BRIAN WALKER.
AND TESTAVERDE TRYING TO GET THE
BALL OVER HIS HEAD.
COULDN'T DO IT, OR HE MIGHT HAVE
HAD ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN PASS.
>> WALKER'S HAD A GREAT GAME ON
BOTH SIDES OF IT -- DEFENDING
THE PASS, AND HE'S BEEN THE
HARDEST HITTER ON THE FIELD
TONIGHT.
>> THIS IS WHERE THE JETS REALLY
DO MISS KEYSHAWN JOHNSON.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 3.
THEY HAVE CHREBET SLOTTED TO THE
RIGHT.
THEY SEND WARD IN MOTION THAT
WAY.
THE HAND-OFF GOES TO ANDERSON.
AND HE GETS TO THE 4.
AND NOW YOU'VE GOT A GIGANTIC
PLAY COMING UP.
IT'S THE 2-MINUTE WARNING, AND
IT'S FOURTH AND 1.
AT THE 4-YARD LINE.
SO TAKE US THROUGH THE MIND-SET
RIGHT NOW OF HENNING AND GROH
AND TESTAVERDE.
>> I THINK THAT BECAUSE THE BALL
IS ON THE FAR HASH MARK, IT
GIVES THE JETS A LOT OF OPTIONS
TO USE THE WIDE SIDE OF THE
FIELD FOR A RIGHT-HANDED
QUARTERBACK IN TESTAVERDE.
WHETHER THEY'RE GONNA GO FOR THE
FIRST DOWN OR FOR THE TOUCHDOWN,
I THINK IT'S RATHER IRRELEVANT
BECAUSE THEY'RE THINKING THAT
EITHER PLAY THAT THEY CALL WILL
BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH BOTH THOSE
FEATS.
SO TESTAVERDE -- THEY LIKE THE
BUNCH WHERE THEY CROWD THE
RECEIVERS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OFF
OF THE WING.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY
TRIED A TYPE OF PICK PLAY, HAVE
VINNY ROLL OUT TO THE RIGHT AND
TRY TO GET ANDERSON OR MARTIN
LOOSE AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE
AND MAYBE RUN IT IN.
>> THEY NEED A LONG YARD FOR A
FIRST DOWN AND 4 YARDS FOR THE
TOUCHDOWN.
SO IT COMES DOWN TO THIS.
VINNY THROWING.
AND STOPPED AT THE 1 IS
ANDERSON, BUT HE HAS THE FIRST
DOWN!
HE HAS THE FIRST DOWN.
NO TIME-OUTS.
NEEDED A LONG YARD.
GOT 2 1/2.
>> RICHIE ANDERSON NOT EVEN
PAYING ATTENTION TO HIS PHYSICAL
WELL-BEING.
>> WELL, THEY BROUGHT THE
RECEIVER IN MOTION, OVERLOADED
THE RIGHT SIDE.
AND ANDERSON WITH A FABULOUS
CATCH BEFORE JERRY WILSON CAN
DRILL HIM.
GOOD THROW BY TESTAVERDE.
WHAT A CATCH UNDER PRESSURE.
>> ANDERSON HAS CAUGHT 11 PASSES
TONIGHT FOR 103 YARDS.
MARTIN. CAN'T GET IN.
STOPPED BY TAYLOR.
DID I SEE THAT GRAPHIC CORRECT?
19 FIRST DOWNS IN THIS QUARTER?
THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE!
>> THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE TO HAVE
19 PLAYS IN A QUARTER.
THAT AVERAGES OUT TO ALMOST 80
A GAME.
>> LOOK AT THAT.
UNBELIEVABLE.
THEY HAD 10 IN THE FIRST THREE
QUARTERS.
MEANWHILE, SECOND DOWN AND GOAL
FROM THE 2.
OUT OF THE TIGHT FORMATION.
FAKE TO MARTIN.
THEN A DUMP.
AND IS JUGGLED AND CAUGHT BY
JUMBO ELLIOTT!
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> WELL, JUMBO -- THEY HAD THE
HANDS TEAM IN.
>> THE TACKLE LINES UP AS AN
ELIGIBLE RECEIVER AT THE END OF
THE LINE.
HE'S OPEN. HE'S JUGGLING.
HE'S FALLING DOWN.
AND THEY'RE 1 POINT FROM TYING
THE GAME.
>> ANOTHER TRICK PLAY -- OR A
SITUATIONALLY APPROPRIATE PLAY
FOR AL GROH AND THE JETS.
WHAT WILL HE THINK OF NEXT?
>> HEY, I GOT TO GIVE MY BOY AL
SOME PRAISE FOR CALLING THAT
POINT-AFTER THING AROUND
2 1/2 DAYS AGO.
>> IN THE MEANTIME, THAT IS
ELLIOTT'S -- IT'S THE FIRST
CATCH OF HIS CAREER.
HE'S PLAYED 173 GAMES.
>> WELL, YOU CAN'T SHUT HIM DOWN
FOREVER, AL.
>> AND THE DOLPHINS ARE
CHALLENGING WHETHER HE DID HAVE
POSSESSION.
>> WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE
REVIEWING IT UPSTAIRS.
REMEMBER, YOU'RE INSIDE
2 MINUTES, SO THIS IS THE CALL
FROM THE BOOTH UPSTAIRS.
THE BOOTH CAN STOP THE PLAY.
SO UPSTAIRS.
IT IS NOW TAKEN OUT OF THE
COACHES' HANDS IN THE FINAL
2 MINUTES OF EITHER HALF.
LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK HERE.
DOES ELLIOTT HAVE POSSESSION?
>> HE OVERTURNS THAT, HE'D
BETTER CRAWL INSIDE THAT HOOD.
THIS PLACE WILL GO BALLISTIC.
>> THE CROSSBAR SORT OF GOT IN
THE WAY AT THE END OF THE
REPLAY.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT IT FROM
THIS ANGLE NOW.
JUGGLE, JUGGLE, JUGGLE.
>> THAT'S A CATCH.
>> HE'S GOT IT. YES.
YEP.
>> HE CERTAINLY DIDN'T MAKE IT
EASY FOR ANYBODY HERE AT
GIANTS STADIUM.
ONE BOBBLE, TWO BOBBLES, THREE
BOBBLES.
>> NOT ONLY IS THAT HIS FIRST
CATCH, THAT'S HIS FIRST THREE
CATCHES.
>> HE STARTED THE SEASON -- HE
WAS SUSPENDED FOR THE FIRST
GAME.
HE PLAYED IN GAME 2.
HE HASN'T EVEN PLAYED SINCE THE
LAST MONDAY-NIGHT GAME, AGAINST
NEW ENGLAND IN SEPTEMBER.
>> HE GOT HIS MONEY'S WORTH.
THEY CAN'T OVERTURN THAT.
>> REMEMBER, IT WAS RULED A
TOUCHDOWN, SO WHAT THEY HAVE TO
SEE IS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT
IT WASN'T, NOT THE REVERSE.
>> TO GO ALONG WITH THE FAKE AND
EVERYTHING, HE DIDN'T TAKE HIS
GLOVES OFF.
HE'S GOT HIS BLOCKING GLOVES ON.
AND HE'S GOT HIMSELF A
TOUCHDOWN.
>> HE DOES.
BY THE TIME THE BALL HITS THE
GROUND, HE'S ALREADY TAKEN THAT
LITTLE HOP, AND THE PLAY
WOULD'VE BEEN OVER BY THAT
POINT.
>> THAT'S A 305-POUND HOP.
IT'S JUST SO STRANGE TO SEE A
NUMBER 76 CATCHING A PASS.
YOU'VE REALLY GOT TO GIVE IT TO
AL GROH AND DAN HENNING.
GROH SAYS HE GOES BY A GUT
FEELING BUT HE ALSO HAS THE HELP
FROM HIS ENTIRE OFFENSIVE
COACHING STAFF WHEN HE GOES FOR
A TRICK PLAY, GADGET PLAY --
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.
>> HEY, WHEN YOU'RE THROWING
PASSES TO A 305-POUND GUY, I'LL
CALL IT A GUT FEELING.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
BADA-BING.
>> WELL, 42 SECONDS LEFT.
A LOT CAN HAPPEN.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M BEGINNING TO
BELIEVE GROH IS SPENDING THIS
TIME DURING THE DELAY FIGURING
OUT HOW TO GO FOR A 2-POINT
CONVERSION OUT OF A KICK
FORMATION.
>> JUMBO CHECKING OUT THE
JUMBOTRON HERE AT
GIANTS STADIUM.
>> THE LOOK OF A MAN WHO CAUGHT
THE FIRST PASS OF HIS CAREER.
IT WAS THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN OF
HIS CAREER.
>> AFTER REVIEWING THE PLAY, THE
RULING ON THE FIELD STANDS.
TOUCHDOWN.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
>> JUMBO WAS HAVING AN
OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
WE SAW HALL GET HURT EARLIER.
>> HE LIMPED OFF THE FIELD.
HE MADE A TACKLE ON HIS LAST
KICKOFF.
NOW TO TIE THE GAME.
TOM TUPA TO HOLD.
THE EXTRA POINT.
TUPA GETS IT DOWN, AND IT JUST
DOES GET INSIDE THE UPRIGHT.
TOM TUPA IS ONE OF THE BEST IN
THE LEAGUE AT HANDLING SNAPS
LIKE THAT AND GETTING THEM DOWN.
>> THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL JOB BY
TUPA.
>> YEAH, AND THAT WAS A HORRIBLE
SNAP BY BRADFORD BANTA.
THIS BALL WAS FIRED AT TUPA'S
HEAD.
KIND OF A KNUCKLEBALL, AT THAT.
HE GETS IT DOWN ON THE POINT.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
AND HALL FALLS DOWN.
HERE IS JOHN HALL NOW TO KICK
OFF.
A GREAT RUNBACK BY MARION SET UP
MIAMI'S LAST TOUCHDOWN.
AND MARION WILL CORRAL THIS ONE
AT THE 11-YARD LINE.
AND MARION!
A BEAUTY AGAIN, TO MIDFIELD.
HE'S TO THE 49.
THE DOLPHINS HAVE ALL OF THEIR
TIME-OUTS.
THEY HAVE ALL THREE.
THEY HAVE 34 SECONDS AND, IN
OLINDO MARE, AN OUTSTANDING
KICKER.
>> IF THEY GET 15 YARDS, THEY
GET MARE WITHIN HIS RANGE.
15 YARDS WOULD PROBABLY BE ABOUT
A 52-YARD FIELD GOAL, AND MARE'S
CAREER BEST IS 54 YARDS.
AND THE DOLPHINS HAVE ALL THREE
TIME-OUTS.
>> AT THE 49-YARD LINE.
FIRST DOWN FOR THE DOLPHINS.
THEY SEND McDUFFIE AND GADSDEN
WIDE RIGHT.
>> WATCH CHAN.
HE MIGHT GO DEEP AGAIN.
HE'S FEELING IT.
>> FIEDLER.
BATTED. INCOMPLETE.
KNOCKED AWAY BY SHANE BURTON.
>> HUGE PLAY BY SHANE BURTON.
HE WAS STUFFED AT THE LINE OF
SCRIMMAGE BY TODD WADE.
HAD NOWHERE TO GO.
SAW THE BALL, SAW FIEDLER LET IT
GO, AND THEN JUMPED UP AND
KNOCKED IT DOWN.
BIG PLAY.
>> FROM THE 49.
SECOND AND 10.
THREE RECEIVERS TO THE RIGHT.
McDUFFIE TO THE LEFT.
AND THEY GIVE IT TO
THURMAN THOMAS!
AND HE'S GONNA PASS, BUT
NOBODY'S OPEN, SO THURMAN'S
GOING TO TRY TO TAKE OFF AND
GETS KNOCKED DOWN AT THE 47-YARD
LINE.
THEY TAKE A TIME-OUT.
18 SECONDS.
>> HE WAS GONNA THROW BACK
ACROSS THE FIELD TO FIEDLER, I
THINK THE PLAY WAS DESIGNED.
>> YES, HE WAS.
ABSOLUTELY, DENNIS.
GOOD CALL.
AND YOU KNOW WHO MADE THE PLAY
WAS BRYAN COX.
COX SAW FIEDLER COME OUT OF THE
BACKFIELD.
NOW HE'S TELLING THE DOLPHIN
BENCH THAT "I'M SMART.
I SAW THAT PLAY. COME ON.
TRY ME AGAIN. COME ON!"
THERE'S YOUR NEW YORK CHALLENGE,
DENNIS, RIGHT THERE.
>> BOY, IF COX HAD GOTTEN BEAT
BY FIEDLER FOR A GAME-WINNING
TOUCHDOWN -- THE QB GETS DEEP
ON YOU?
HE'D NEVER LIVE THAT DOWN.
THIS CITY WOULD NEVER FORGIVE.
>> WHAT THE DOLPHINS NEED NOW --
THEY PUT TWO MORE SECONDS BACK
ON THE CLOCK -- 17 TICKS.
TO GET MARE TO WITHIN RANGE
WHERE, LET'S SAY, HE KICKS A
50-YARDER, THEY WOULD HAVE TO
GET 20 YARDS ON THIS NEXT PLAY
AND TAKE A TIME-OUT OR GET OUT
OF BOUNDS.
>> GREAT INSTINCTS BY COX.
HE SNIFFED THAT OUT SO EARLY.
>> YEAH.
FIEDLER KIND OF GAVE IT AWAY.
HE HANDED THE BALL OFF, AND HE
LOOKED LIKE THE CAT THAT ATE THE
MOUSE.
>> SO WHAT'S HE SUPPOSED TO DO,
JUST GO LIMP THERE FOR A SECOND?
>> WELL, HE SHOULD LOOK AROUND
AND FOLLOW WHERE HE HANDED THE
BALL OFF AND THEN TAKE OFF.
HE NEVER LOOKED BACK TO THOMAS.
>> FIEDLER LOOKING FOR AT LEAST
20 YARDS.
UNDER PRESSURE.
NEARLY GETS SACKED.
PASS IS INCOMPLETE.
SHANE BURTON HAD HIM WRAPPED UP
AGAIN.
AND FIEDLER IN AGONY.
SO FIEDLER'S STILL DOWN.
[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]
WITH 12 SECONDS LEFT IN
REGULATION.
>> REMEMBER, HE'S COMING OFF HIP
SURGERY OF JUST A COUPLE OF
MONTHS BACK.
HE GETS HIT BY SHANE BURTON,
NUMBER 98, AS HE'S STEPPING UP
INTO THIS POCKET FROM THE LEFT
SIDE RIGHT THERE.
THAT COULD BE AN ANKLE.
THAT COULD BE A LEFT KNEE.
PROBABLY THE ANKLE.
>> OOH.
>> BOY, THEN HE GETS DRILLED.
>> YEAH, AND THEN COX COMES IN
AT THE END.
HERE'S MATT TURK TO PUNT ON
FOURTH DOWN.
AND THAT ONE, WITH NOBODY EVEN
BACK TO FIELD IT FOR THE JETS,
WILL ROLL TO A HALT AS THE CLOCK
GOES TO TRIPLE ZEROES.
SO WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF
REGULATION.
>> LET'S CRANK THAT
HANK WILLIAMS THING UP AGAIN.
♪ ARE YOU READY FOR SOME O.T.? ♪
>> WELL, THE GAME IS APPROACHING
THE FOUR-HOUR MARK.
>> DANNO, IS YOUR FLIGHT OUT OF
NEWARK?
YOU OUGHT TO JUST STAY OUT HERE.
>> I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN
TO A FOOTBALL GAME OR SEEN ONE
OR PLAYED IN ONE THAT'S GONE
FOUR HOURS.
I MEAN, YOU JUST DON'T SAY
"FOUR-HOUR FOOTBALL GAME."
>> FOUR HOURS AND WHO KNOWS HOW
MUCH LONGER TO GO?
AND HERE COMES THE VERY
ALL-IMPORTANT COIN FLIP.
THE WINNER OF THIS FLIP IS GONNA
GET THE FOOTBALL.
>> WELL, I GUESS YOU GET
21 FIRST DOWNS IN ONE PERIOD,
THAT AUGERS FOR A FOUR-HOUR
GAME.
>> ALL RIGHT, MEN.
WE'RE GONNA PLAY A 15-MINUTE
OVERTIME PERIOD.
EACH TEAM GETS AN ADDITIONAL TWO
TIME-OUTS.
FIRST TEAM THAT SCORES WINS.
MIAMI IS THE VISITORS.
THEY'LL CALL THE COIN.
>> HEADS.
>> HIS CHOICE IS HEADS.
>> THEY USUALLY BRING
PHIL LUCKETT IN FOR THESE.
>> IT IS A HEADS.
MIAMI WON THE TOSS.
THEY WILL RECEIVE.
>> SO THE DOLPHINS WILL GET IT.
>> I WANT TO SEND A SHOUT-OUT TO
DIANE SAWYER, WHO'S JUST GETTING
UP.
HI, DI.
>> GETTING UP?
SHE'S ALREADY IN THE STUDIO.
>> HERE'S BROCK MARION TO RETURN
THE KICK.
J.J. JOHNSON BACK THERE AS WELL.
>> JOHN HALL SENDS IT INTO THE
EARLY-MORNING SKY, AND IT'S
FIELDED BY MARION AT THE 6-YARD
LINE.
UP PAST THE 30.
AND ANOTHER GOOD BROCK MARION
RUNBACK -- THIRD IN A ROW, THIS
TIME TO THE 37-YARD LINE.
AND FIEDLER IS OKAY.
SO HERE IS FIEDLER, TAKING THAT
MONSTER SHOT WITH 12 SECONDS TO
GO.
PRONE ON THE TURF FOR ALMOST
3 MINUTES.
WALKS OFF UNDER HIS OWN POWER.
HE MUST HAVE BEEN TO LOURDES.
HERE HE IS.
>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
HE'S NOT EVEN LIMPING.
LOOKED LIKE HE SPRAINED HIS
LEFT ANKLE OR HIS LEFT KNEE.
AND HE RAN OUT TO THE HUDDLE
LIKE THERE'S NOTHING.
>> MAYBE HE'S JUST FUZZY.
MAYBE IT WAS THE COX SHOT, THE
SECOND ONE IN.
MAYBE THE LEG NEVER DID GET
HURT.
>> COULD HAVE BEEN.
>> IF THAT'S THE CASE, THOUGH,
HE'S PROBABLY A LITTLE OUT OF
SORTS RIGHT NOW.
>> FROM THE 33-YARD LINE.
FIRST DOWN.
THE FAKE.
AND THEN OPEN BUT UNDERTHROWING
IT, AND IT'S INCOMPLETE TO
JED WEAVER, THE TIGHT END.
HE'D GOTTEN OPEN.
HE THINKS HE MADE THE CATCH, BUT
THE OFFICIAL SAYS, "NO, SIR."
>> DENNIS, MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT,
BECAUSE HE HAD WEAVER WIDE OPEN
THERE.
HE MIGHT BE A LITTLE OUT OF
SORTS.
AND WHO CAN BLAME HIM AFTER
TAKING THAT SHOT?
>> THE IRONIC THING IS THE HEAD
SHOT IS THE WORST PART, BUT IT'S
THE HARDEST ONE TO READ, TOO.
YOU CAN SEE A GUY LIMP.
YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT'S GOING ON
INSIDE HIS BEAN RIGHT NOW.
>> THERE'S THE TACKLE BY BURTON
AND THE HIT BY COX.
>> TESTAVERDE WAITING ON THE
SIDELINE.
SECOND DOWN AND 10 FROM THE 37.
AND THAT'S CAUGHT BY GADSDEN,
BUT HE IS BLANKETED IMMEDIATELY
BY MARCUS COLEMAN.
GAIN OF ABOUT 5.
THEY'LL SPOT IT AT THE 42.
IT'LL BE THIRD AND 5.
>> DANNO UNBELIEVABLY POINTS OUT
TO ME, AL, AT THE COMMERCIAL --
VINNY HAS FIVE TOUCHDOWNS.
>> AND 337 YARDS THROUGH THE
AIR.
54 FLINGS TONIGHT.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
A LOT OF THE CROWD WENT HOME.
IT SEEMS LIKE MOST OF THEM ARE
BACK.
THIRD DOWN AND 5 FROM THE 42.
AND THAT'S INTERCEPTED BY
COLEMAN!
AND THEN HE FUMBLES!
AND MIAMI'S GONNA WIND UP
GETTING THE BALL BACK -- WITH A
FIRST DOWN!
OF ALL THINGS, ON THIRD DOWN AND
5, THE JETS GET POSSESSION AND
THEN -- ONCE THEY GET
POSSESSION, IF YOU FUMBLE THE
BALL AND THE OTHER TEAM
RECOVERS, THEY GET IT BACK WITH
A FIRST DOWN.
>> UNBELIEVABLE.
>> NO QUESTION.
>> INTERCEPTION, THEN A FUMBLE,
THEN A RECOVERY BY MIAMI.
FIRST AND 10 FOR MIAMI.
>> AND A GREAT PLAY BY GADSDEN
NOT ONLY TO RECOVER BUT TO STAY
IN BOUNDS WITH IT.
>> YEAH, THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE BY
COLEMAN.
HIS SECOND INTERCEPTION OF THE
NIGHT.
IF HE FALLS DOWN RIGHT THERE,
THE JETS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE.
BUT THURMAN THOMAS CAME BY AND
POPPED THE BALL LOOSE.
TALK ABOUT A VETERAN PLAY BY
THURMAN THOMAS.
THERE HE IS -- NUMBER 34.
AND GADSDEN, WITH BOTH FEET IN.
>> FIRST AND 10 AT THE 34-YARD
LINE.
GOOD PROTECTION.
CAUGHT. SHORT GAIN.
THAT'S THE TIGHT END,
HUNTER GOODWIN.
TACKLED BY VICTOR GREEN.
GAIN OF 4.
>> YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT, AL.
THE STADIUM HAS REFILLED.
>> IT HAS!
>> I THINK EVER SINCE THE HEIDI
GAME -- I KNOW THAT WAS OUT AT
SHEA -- BUT THEY'VE BUILT A
TURNAROUND DOWN THERE AT THE
LINCOLN TUNNEL.
>> I'M LOOKING AROUND HERE --
THE HEIDI GAME WAS IN OAKLAND --
THIS CROWD, WHICH WAS 75,000,
WENT TO ABOUT 30,000, AND NOW
IT'S UP TO ABOUT 50,000.
>> SOMEBODY KEPT THE DOOR OPEN.
>> THEY DID!
>> I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO GO FOR
THAT HEIDI-GAME THING.
I SMELLED TROUBLE THERE.
SMELLED A LOT OF TROUBLE, AL.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 5.
>> AL KNOWS ALL ABOUT THOSE
RAIDER GAMES.
>> AT THE 39-YARD LINE.
DON'T I?
A LITTLE TOSS BACK TO SMITH.
AND SMITH, WHO HAD A TREMENDOUS
FIRST HALF AND HAS HAD A SILENT
SECOND HALF, GETS A FIRST DOWN
TO THE 45.
THIS GAME APPROACHING THE
FOUR-HOUR MARK.
OUR MINISTER OF INFORMATION,
STEVE HURT, TELLING ME IN THE
HISTORY OF "MONDAY NIGHT
FOOTBALL," ONLY ONE GAME WENT
OVER FOUR HOURS --
GIANTS-CARDINALS, A 20-20
OVERTIME TIE IN 1983.
KICKOFF HERE WAS 10 AFTER 9:00.
THAT WAS THE GAME THAT HELPED
SEND COSELL INTO RETIREMENT.
THAT WAS HOWARD'S LAST YEAR.
>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
BLAME IT ON DENNIS MILLER.
WEIRD STUFF HAPPENING.
>> FROM THE 46-YARD LINE.
FIEDLER FLIPS IT OUT TO KONRAD.
AND THE FULLBACK TAKES IT TO THE
46-YARD LINE.
THAT'S A GAIN OF -- LET'S CALL
IT 8.
IT'LL BE SECOND DOWN AND 2.
TACKLED BY VICTOR GREEN.
>> IF I WERE WANNSTEDT NOW, I
WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT ONE
THING -- AND CHAN GAILEY WOULD
BE, TOO -- IT'S GIVING THE BALL
TO LAMAR SMITH.
FINISH THIS GAME AS YOU STARTED
THIS GAME -- WITH SMITH POUNDING
THE BALL AT A TIRED JET DEFENSE.
>> AGAIN, COLLEGE FOOTBALL --
1 AGAINST 2, NEBRASKA-OKLAHOMA
SATURDAY AT NOON.
SECOND DOWN AND A LONG 2 HERE.
THE BALL IS AT THE 47-YARD LINE.
THE BALL IS HANDED TO SMITH.
AND SMITH WHEELING AND SPINNING
AND PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN AS
HE GETS INSIDE THE 44-YARD LINE.
>> YOU KNOW, IT SEEMED LIKE
BEFORE THE LAST TWO CARRIES FOR
SMITH, WE HADN'T CALLED HIS NAME
OR HE HADN'T HAD ANY RUSHES THE
ENTIRE SECOND HALF.
SO HE IS FRESH.
HE'S NOT HAD TO TAKE THE
POUNDING.
HE'S CARRIED THE BALL NOW
23 TIMES, BUT MOST OF THAT WAS
IN THE FIRST HALF.
>> THIS MUST FEEL LIKE
TWO-A-DAYS TO HIM.
GO AWAY, HAVE A LUNCH, TAKE A
NAP, COME BACK FOR A LATE
PRACTICE.
>> AT THE 43-YARD LINE.
ONE MORE FIRST DOWN, AND THEY'LL
BE IN FIELD-GOAL RANGE FOR MARE.
AND THAT IS PICKED OFF AGAIN BY
COLEMAN!
>> DOWN. DOWN BY CONTACT.
>> AND THAT TIME, THE PLAY IS
DEAD AT THE 33-YARD LINE BECAUSE
CONTACT WAS MADE BY GADSDEN.
>> WOW.
>> YOU GOT TO HAND IT TO
MARCUS COLEMAN FOR HANGING IN
THERE MENTALLY.
HE MADE THE PLAY EARLIER TO PICK
IT OFF IN FRONT OF GADSDEN, AND
THEN HE READ THE EYES OF THE
QUARTERBACK HERE AND THE ROUTE
BY GADSDEN -- ANOTHER OUT ROUTE.
THROWN WAY TOO FAR TO THE
INSIDE.
>> LIFE DOESN'T OFTEN AFFORD YOU
THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET OFF THE
HOOK THAT QUICKLY.
>> THAT INTERCEPTION IS HIS
THIRD OF THE GAME, AND THAT TIES
A JETS TEAM MARK.
>> BY THE WAY, SCHWARZENEGGER'S
FILM HAD A GREAT OPENING
WEEKEND.
>> BY THE WAY, SCHWARZENEGGER
SAID THE JETS WERE GONNA WIN
WHEN THEY WERE DOWN BY 23.
>> HASTA LA VISTA, BABY.
>> HE IS SO OUT OF THIS STADIUM.
>> FROM THE 34-YARD LINE.
TESTAVERDE THROWING FOR CHREBET.
AND THAT'S INCOMPLETE.
BRIAN WALKER COVERING ON THE
PLAY.
GO BACK TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT
AT THE TOP OF THE GAME -- THE
WINNER OF THIS GAME IS IN
UNDISPUTED POSSESSION OF FIRST
PLACE IN THE AFC EAST.
AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO, IT WAS
MIAMI IN A LOCK.
IT WAS 30-7 AT ONE POINT.
AND THE JETS WITH 21
FOURTH-QUARTER FIRST DOWNS,
23 POINTS.
THEN THE DOLPHINS TOOK THE LEAD,
37-30 AND THE JETS CAUGHT THEM
AT THE END.
SECOND DOWN AND 10.
TESTAVERDE TO MARTIN.
AND HE GETS DRAGGED DOWN BY
MARION AS HE MAKES THE CATCH AT
THE 41.
IT'LL BE THIRD DOWN AND 3.
>> IT'S JUST MIND-BOGGLING TO ME
THAT TESTAVERDE COULD LOOK THAT
DISHEVELED EARLY IN THE GAME AND
THIS RADAR-LOCKED.
>> IT'S KIND OF THE WAY HIS
SEASON HAS GONE.
HE'S PLAYED VERY, VERY WELL LATE
IN BALLGAMES.
>> BIG THIRD AND 3.
VINNY THROWS.
CAUGHT! IT IS CHREBET!
TO THE 40.
TO THE 32-YARD LINE.
ZACH THOMAS CATCHES HIM FROM
BEHIND.
>> CHREBET IS NAILS.
>> AND CHREBET IS WORKING
AGAINST JERRY WILSON AGAIN.
TESTAVERDE HAS GONE TO CHREBET
WHEN HE'S ON WILSON.
CHREBET COMES UP LIMPING NOW.
WILSON'S 24.
LOOK AT THIS BALL, RIGHT ON THE
TARGET THERE.
WILSON A LITTLE BIT LATE
REACTING, AND THEN CHREBET'S GOT
A LITTLE BIT OF A CONVOY DOWN
THE SIDELINE.
WHAT A GREAT TACKLE BY
ZACH THOMAS, WHO'S PLAYING ON A
BAD ANKLE.
A FASTBALL, FINALLY, FROM
TESTAVERDE.
>> CHREBET'S GOT A LOT OF
LENNY DYKSTRA IN HIM.
>> 31-YARD LINE.
THEY'RE ALREADY IN FIELD-GOAL
RANGE FOR HALL.
HIS CAREER LONG IS 55.
RICHIE ANDERSON TO THE 25-YARD
LINE.
IT'LL BE SECOND DOWN AND 4.
ROBERT JONES MAKES THE TACKLE.
>> THIS IS THE 12th CATCH OF THE
NIGHT FOR RICHIE ANDERSON.
WE TALKED ABOUT HIS VERSATILITY
AND HOW HE'S FILLING THE VOID.
[ WHISTLES BLOWING ]
>> WHISTLE BEFORE THE SNAP.
NO PLAY.
WELL, YOU HEARD OF THE
MIRACLE METS, OF COURSE.
>> TIME-OUT, MIAMI.
>> TIME-OUT, MIAMI.
HOW ABOUT THE MIRACLE JETS?
>> FIRST TIME-OUT.
>> THREE TIMES THIS YEAR -- NOT
ONLY HAVE THEY COME FROM BEHIND
IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.
THEY HAVE TRAILED IN THOSE THREE
GAMES WITH 4 MINUTES TO PLAY.
THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH TIME IN
SEVEN GAMES THEY WOULD HAVE
TRAILED WITH 4 MINUTES TO GO AND
WON THE GAME.
>> THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SERIES.
THEY'VE HAD SO MANY MEMORABLE
GAMES WITH KEN O'BRIEN AND
DAN MARINO THROWING IT ALL OVER
THE LOT.
BUT I WOULD PUT THIS ONE UP
AGAINST ANY OF THEM.
WE ALREADY SAW GRIESE AND NAMATH
AND THEIR BATTLE.
THIS WAS REALLY TWO DIFFERENT
TEAMS FOR BOTH TEAMS.
THE DOLPHINS STARTED OUT GREAT.
THE JETS WERE TERRIBLE.
THAT FLIPFLOPPED.
AND THEN, AFTER THE JETS COME
BACK AND TAKE THE LEAD, THE
DOLPHINS COME AND TIE IT UP.
AND LOOK AT THIS.
IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS, A
CALF MASSAGE -- A DOUBLE CALF
MASSAGE FOR WAYNE CHREBET.
>> WELL, YOU MIGHT SUSPECT THAT
HE'S CRAMPING UP.
>> EITHER THAT OR, UH,
NEW YORK'S A LOT FREAKIER THAN
I THOUGHT.
>> VINNY TESTAVERDE -- FOUR
TOUCHDOWN PASSES IN THE FOURTH
QUARTER, THREE OF THEM CAUGHT BY
PLAYERS WHO HAD NEVER SCORED.
SECOND AND 4.
VINNY BACKPEDALS.
UNDER PRESSURE!
IS IT PICKED OFF?
AND WE'RE WAITING FOR A SIGNAL
FROM THE OFFICIAL.
AND THEY SAY NO.
NO.
JERRY WILSON CAME UP WITH THE
FOOTBALL.
BUT AFTER IT HAD HIT THE GROUND.
ANOTHER LOOK.
YES. IT HIT THE GROUND.
>> GOOD CALL BY THE OFFICIALS,
LATE AS IT WAS.
IF TESTAVERDE HAS JUST A SECOND
MORE TO THROW THIS BALL, HE'S
GOT COLES WIDE OPEN IN THE
END ZONE.
THEY FAKED THE PLAY THEY RAN
PREVIOUSLY WHEN THE DOLPHINS
CALLED TIME-OUT -- THE QUICK
SCREEN OUTSIDE TO CURTIS MARTIN.
COLES FAKED THE BLOCK AND WENT
DEEP.
NOW VINNY'S GOT TO CALL
TIME-OUT.
>> HE CALLS A TIME-OUT.
THIRD DOWN AND 4.
THIS GAME IS UNBELIEVABLE.
IT WAS 30-7 AT ONE POINT.
IT IS NOW THE LONGEST GAME IN
THE HISTORY OF "MONDAY NIGHT
FOOTBALL," BECAUSE IT'S
FOUR HOURS, 10 MINUTES OLD.
IF THE JETS WIN, IT WILL BE THE
GREATEST COMEBACK IN THEIR
HISTORY.
IN THE HISTORY OF THE FRANCHISE.
THEY ONCE ERASED A 21-POINT
DEFICIT.
THIS ONE WOULD BE 23.
IT IS THIRD DOWN AND 4 AT THE
25-YARD LINE.
>> CAN YOU BELIEVE THE DIZZYING
ARRAY OF GAMES WE'VE HAD THIS
YEAR, AL?
>> INCREDIBLE.
>> I REMEMBER YOU TOLD ME IN THE
FIRST GAME -- WE HAD SUCH A
SHOOTOUT -- AND YOU SAID, "WE
MIGHT GET ONE OF THESE A YEAR,
MAYBE TWO."
>> YOU'RE THE RABBIT'S FOOT, MY
MAN.
>> YOU SURE THAT GAME WAS IN
OAKLAND -- THAT HEIDI GAME?
>> [ Laughing ] YES, I AM.
>> THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA BELIEVE
YOU.
JUST SAY IT WAS IN NEW YORK.
THEY'LL BELIEVE YOU.
>> FOR A SMALL FEE.
THIRD DOWN AND 4 AT THE 25-YARD
LINE.
THEY GIVE IT TO MARTIN.
AND CURTIS TO THE 23.
SO NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A
40-YARD FIELD GOAL FOR
JOHN HALL.
REMEMBER, THE LAST SNAP BY
BRAD BANTA WAS BAD ON THE EXTRA
POINT TO TIE IT AT 37.
BUT TUPA DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB
OF GETTING IT DOWN.
HALL PUT IT JUST THROUGH THE
RIGHT UPRIGHT AND NOW WILL HAVE
TO DO IT FROM 40 YARDS TO CAP
OFF WHAT WOULD BE AN
UNBELIEVABLE COMEBACK.
>> THE WAY THIS GAME'S GOING, I
WOULDN'T BE SHOCKED IF TUPA
PULLED BACK THE SNAP AND
NAKED-BOOTLEGGED OUT TO THE
LEFT.
>> ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
FROM 40 YARDS.
GOOD SNAP.
KICK AWAY.
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
JETS WIN.
>> I LOVE YOU, MOM.
I LOVE YOU, DAD.
>> START BLOW-DRYING KOPPEL'S
HAIR.
DONE!
