And he's got a special with somebody like an art muck has the kind of career he has the ultimate team player always there plays hurt and he's played hurt so many times for these redskins get on the good years and the bad years and always they're always consistent.
To the 19 yard line.
Second down and eight.
The thing about monk is by the time he's finished he's leveled to eclipse Largent by a lot and he's not he's not talking about retiring and he certainly is in tremendous shape and Largent is under siege by Jerry Rice as well.
Jerry Rice got a touchdown yesterday when he's at 99 now just one short of Largent's touchdown record.
And he looks for Clark and Rippen throws that one out of the end zone after Clark had turned the other way on Wyman Henderson.
Wyman did a fine job though Gary like Gary Clark came up limping a little bit.
He's only a little ginger week with the hamstring call. I don't might be time for Gary to take a rest with the bad hamstring and wonder what what do you have to gain here with a 31 to 3 lead 10 minutes left in the ballgame.
And that's the way you can aggravate it too when you're running at full speed and you collide you bounce off a defensive back and throws your offside a little cool down there and it gives this guy a chance to go out and play a little bit.
Desmond Howard I would have to think that this is probably the last drive for some of the Redskins regular.
Third and eight it's a monkey motion. Rippen looks the other way. That falls in Alexandria Virginia.
Gary Clark not happy said I've run two patterns into the end zone my man and you have thrown it up in his stance.
I think Rippen probably is still thinking of a week ago. He is not going to throw an interception down here even though they have this big lead and lose the three point opportunity.
Well watch how open Gary Clark comes in the end zone. This is why he's upset. I mean the ball's gone though. Look at this. This is an angry man.
Come on Rip get me the ball. I was here. He's a competitor. He sure is. Here's Lohmiller for a 36 yard field goal attempt.
Right down the middle. Three more for the Redskins who now lead it 34 to three.
You're going to see Tommy Maddox make his NFL debut in terms of taking a snap. He's been in as their holder.
Guarantees not yawning now. Nope. Bad heart rates accelerated a bit. Lohmiller's kick. This is Alton Montgomery.
A little bit of a hole. Takes it back out to the 29 yard line. 10-04 remaining in the fourth quarter. 34-3 Redskins and we'll take a look at Tommy Maddox their top draft choice from UCLA.
Maddox working against a defense that tonight sacked Elway five times. Recovered a fumble. Picked off two passes and ran one back for a touchdown and has allowed 16 yards on the ground.
Ray Berry and John Elway. Berry is the quarterback's coach but his project is in the game right now. Tommy Maddox. Part of what Ray does obviously is to bring Maddox along.
And this is Gaston Green picking up a couple up to the 31 yard line. Tripped up by Govea. Govea having a big night but he's been overshadowed by Marshall who's having a monster night.
Meanwhile for Elway who's done for the night 15 of 32 so under 50% again and those are bad numbers because that's four yards per pass attempt and as we say the league average is about seven so well it speaks for itself.
Keep in mind with the exception of Shannon Sharpe who I think was there when John needed in precious little help from his offensive teammates. Under a constant rush not much going for Denver.
Second and eight and Maddox does become the youngest quarterback to throw a pass in 46 intended for Clarence K and incomplete. And guess who was in cover? Wilbur Marshall.
Maddox has some incredible numbers as a freshman quarterback. Big 6'4", 200 pounders. Probably round out to much bigger than that. Frank's ever played against Elmer Angman? No.
Played for Detroit? Well at that point he played for Chicago the Cardinals and he went to Detroit in 46 and he was the youngest from 1946 until the last moment. Third and eight.
Maddox throws it at the feet of Shannon Sharpe and fourth down so a rather inauspicious debut for Tommy Maddox. Charles Mann right in Maddox's face that time pushing Ken Lanier right back into his quarterback.
Those are the things they don't record. Charles Mann, Wilbur Marshall getting the big play with the sacks tonight but Mann has been a constant pressure for the Redskins and he's been doing it all year.
Quick to point the man as one of the bright spots defensively. Clarence Punt, fair catch made by Mitchell with 9.07 remaining. That's a 42 yard boot by the Denver Kickers so big night for the Washington defense.
And again their minus Darryl Green an all-pro quarterback. Tonight they really haven't had to use AJ Johnson with that fractured finger very much. They're really banged up.
Flag on the last play. Number 38, kicking team illegally downfield. Penalty defined, first down.
That's Reggie Rivers and again they put Raven Caldwell there would be their number four linebacker on injured reserve. He had a masterful performance defensively. Gives 0-2 during the regular season.
Don't forget that. Super Bowl. We will never forget the Super Bowl. He did see Denver and San Diego in 1980, January of 88.
XXII. Super Bowl 22. 27 yard line.
You know the amazing thing about that game when we had touched on it before Denver had to leave. People forget. They led 10-0.
And not only that, remember Doug Williams had been hurt early in the second quarter. Came limping off. They put Jay Schrader in the game for a couple of plays.
And then Williams came back and before the second period was over they'd scored 35 points in the quarter.
Remember us putting together some statistics and we were doing the, what was it, the first half of the Super Bowl and the second half of the AFC championship game.
And the Broncos had given up something like 700 yards in offense or something like that. It was a staggering number.
Meanwhile Robert Greene who just made his first carry of his career makes his second. Greene is a rookie from William & Mary.
The significance is Greene is the guy who really cost Gerald Riggs his job when we talked to Joe Gibbs before the opener in Dallas.
He said he had to make room because he wanted to keep Greene and because of that out went Gerald Riggs.
And Robert Greene, a friend of Joe Gibbs' son JD, a teammate of his at William & Mary and it was on trips down there to see his son JD play that Robert Greene caught his eye.
And that's how he got a free agent contract with the Redskins. A real made in America story.
Third and sixth and they try to get another one to Monk but it's incomplete. That would have pulled him within one.
It wasn't hard for him to catch his eye either because Greene had over 3,500 yards setting all kinds of records.
His Joe Gibbs' other son Coy has emerged as a starter for Stanford and he had a chance to, one of the rare chances he had to see one of his kids play because I think one of his great regrets and he told us that.
Not being able to watch his kids perform on the field. He flew out to watch his son perform a couple of weeks ago and Coy had a big day for Stanford and he was so proud.
That's what it should be. I can't believe it. Kelly Goodburn.
Fair catch called for. Made at the 37 yard line by Arthur Marshall. 732 remaining. Next Monday, moved to Pittsburgh. Well the Steelers had gotten off to Pittsburgh to gain back Cincinnati 2 behind.
Pittsburgh has their big tight end. Eric Greene back from an Andrea. He should be 100%. Next Monday night, it was Gaston Greene.
So Tommy Maddox flipping it to a former Bruin.
Two alumni teaming up. Some news. Boomer Esiason. We talked about him before. Badly Brews left forearms so we don't know about his status next Monday when we see the Bengals. Dan McGuire, the quarterback at Seattle, fractured left hip. He's done for the season.
Kelly Stauffer is the QB. And tonight, the Cowboys, it was rumored that Wright was on the block and he goes to the Raiders. Alexander Wright, one of several receivers for Jimmy Johnson. Of course they have Michael Irvin and Alvin Harper and Wright became expendable so he goes to L.A.
And the pass is incomplete. Off the fingertips of Vance Johnson. One of the three amigos to whom were referred before with Jackson and Johnson remaining. Vance tore a pectoral muscle, had shoulder surgery before the season, came back last week off injured reserve.
He's got one pass this far this season, but it won the game last week. That was a well-thrown ball there by a young quarterback. He threw it over the underneath man in front of the deep man and he hit the receiver right on stride.
He should have caught the ball. Take a look at this. Watch Vance Johnson. No deflection right in the hands.
A little distracting, but that comes from being out so long and being a little bit rusted because he has good hands. Third and fourth. That's too high and behind the intended receiver Mark Jackson. A.J. Johnson in on the coverage.
And it will be fourth down. And quarterback Tommy Matts comes in there and stands tall and delivers that kind of a football. He does look young, doesn't he?
He sure. Well, he's 21 years, one month. I bet he's the youngest quarterback to play for a while. Look at me repeat the play to himself coming up to the center. That's a guess. No, I think he's mumbling, please don't hit me.
Fourth and fourth. Here's Sharpe. And that's the first down. He takes it to the skins 48 yard line. And here's Reeves. You'll notice tonight Reeves sending in the plays.
You'll recall last year for some time Elway called his own plays by the end of the year. It was a combination of Elway and Reeves sending them in.
And John went to Reeves before the season and said, OK, you call him again. But Reeves did tell us last night that if Elway says in the future he wants to call his own plays, he said I'll be more than happy to give it back to him.
Fully expecting, I believe, that he won't get it back.
Shannon gives up a couple yards and trying to make something happen, but good alertness by Tommy Maddox. He has delivered the ball accurately, moves around well, and that was a very heads up alert play, finding Sharpe on the other side of the line.
And that's nine receptions tonight while nobody's been looking for Shannon Sharpe. And that's two weeks in a row he's caught nine.
Of course, tonight nine for 71 yards, less than eight yards per reception.
Draw to Rivers and nothing could be.
Just a quick guess. I wouldn't say Shannon Sharpe might be within a Denver Bronco record. Receptions per game. He's got five more minutes and he has been the go to guy.
Start shaking things up down there, won't it? Dig around in the record book.
Good shot.
There we go.
There was nobody there.
Well, Frank, you asked, and you shall receive most receptions in a game by Denver Bronco 11 Steve Watson against Pittsburgh 1984.
Another reason to stay tuned.
We're sitting as a matter of fact, keeping our eye on Shannon and hoping for the best for Art Monk.
Nice to see Art Monk get the record.
