We picked off the pass intended for Tony Jones
Washington's saying it's on Tony Jones number 82, but it's gonna be
Covering Tony Jones. I mean that there's something had to go wrong here because of where most roses fall. There it is
There's the grab. You can't grab him. That is pass interference. No wonder Tony Jones couldn't get back to the ball again
Don't forget about taking in the backfield
the red skin
I know they're not forgetting about it because it just seems that Wilbur Marshall number 58 that he is the guy that's watching
That was a 24-yard penalty setting up first out of the 39 in Washington, Territory
So Drew Hill with a 20-yard pickup for his 10th catch of the day
You know when when moon throws this thing and it's gonna come right at you take a look at what's the zip on this ball bang
Here it comes. No air underneath it. No chance to react
Now what Mays did not have a chance to react when that ball comes zipping like that
The one that he had intercepted and almost intercepted and put all that air underneath the ball
It gives the defense time to get there
Well, those who criticize the run and shoot say you go up and down to see it up and down
But sometimes it's difficult to cash in let's see
What the Oilers can do Lorenzo White is back in
White is back in
Moon is completing down at the 15 with Jones
That is his second catch of the day
A.J. Johnson making the stop
It'll be a second down and three
At the 13 with just under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter
All right, Lorenzo White is back there blocking with him. Look at this. They get excellent blocking, excellent protection
And when Moon has time to find, because there are little people running around out there other than Heywood Jeffery
He's going to have some time to find him
But now they've got the big, big guy Lorenzo White back there blocking
But they also were throwing the ball at him
Second and three
Redskins 13, Oilers 6
Moon finding the open man once again
Leonard Harris who has reactivated
After being sidelined six weeks, breaking the ball
Right above his knee, makes his return with his first catch of the day
He's going to find Leonard Harris
They've been looking all over, look how quick that pass is to the outside
He had an excellent pick up by the offense, the line and the back
To get the protection from Moon
And it is a first down, a first and goal at the three when we come back
Two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter here in Washington
The Redskins with a 13-6 lead
And the Oilers with a first and goal at the three
And this is, I'm taking a genius to figure this out
It's four down territory, you've got to go for the touchdown
Your goal means absolutely nothing
Lorenzo White
Malone deep back
Here's White
Trying to slash his way through
Houston indicating touchdown, but White was stopped short
And a timeout has been taken by Washington
With the timeout, we'll take a break back after this
A look at the cannon ten minute ticker again, Harbaugh
Combining with Wendell Davis on a touchdown, 20-10 Chicago lead
Cincinnati maintaining the two point lead, Green Bay with a 16-13 advantage on the Jets
Well, you know, let's take a look at Houston now
That time they picked up what, two and a half to almost three yards
I'd run that same play, going over Muncha
The same play four times if he had to
Second and goal after one, White is the running back
And it's Moon on the quarterback sheet, bringing back
It appeared that James Gaithers was able to keep him away
Moon didn't lose any yards, but he doesn't have the footing to get there
In order for a quarterback to move as big as the defensive linemen are, watch this, watch what Moon does
He tries to lean forward
What you have to do as a quarterback, and it takes a split second to do it
Is you've got to take a step back to get yourself some leverage and then go forward with it
They took a timeout here, Moon's going to the sidelines
You've got to go back to Lorenzo White again and just let him pound it off
He's got, he's back in that single back situation and run him right off of Muncha
And I think you'll see the score
A minute 45, remaining on this fourth quarter
It is a third and goal
At the walk, Washington down to one timeout remaining
Next Sunday, NBC Sports presenting an NFL doubleheader starting 12.30 Eastern time with NFL Live
Most of you will see Jim Kelly and his Buffalo Bills play Green Bay in Milwaukee
That's where we're going to be
Yes, we will
I'm looking forward to Milwaukee
Now let me tell you, remember in the jet game when Moon ran a quarterback option going down the sideline?
I wonder, or down the line of scrimmage, I wonder
Another timeout
So Houston with two timeouts remaining
And we'll be right back
Well, everybody's trying to get into the act over there to come up with a perfect play
But the guy that's going to call the perfect play is Kevin
And he's sitting over there with that headset on just saying, hey, I'll make the call, I'm the offensive coordinator
You know, and when Moon ran that quarterback sneak, Marvy actually did move a half a yard
It is a third and goal at the walk
Long deep on Lorenzo White
Here's White, touchdowns!
And now a pressure moment for Ian Howfield
See, I called that play two places
But then you've got to send the big guy up the middle
And here it comes, straight up and Munchuck
And Matthews just get two excellent blocks
And when you knock the defensive man off the line of scrimmage, you get the touchdown
The Oilers now trail by one
Ian Howfield has had a number of adventures
Remember, last week he missed two extra points
Got a bad snap on another one
He has a new holder
And the partner, Montgomery
Whoa!
He almost missed it!
Mr. Excitement
Look at Jack scratching his head
But the game is tied at 13 with a minute and 42 remaining in this fourth quarter
It did look scary
Well, tonight it is the real-life all-new adventures of Mark and Brian as they put on the wedding of the year

All-new episode of Eerie Indiana

Now, Howfield teeing it up, getting set to kick it off
The game is tied at 13
And there's time remaining in this fourth quarter
A matchup of the 8-0 Washington Redskins
And the 7-1 Houston Oilers
Brian Mitchell on the return
On the offer, he's on it loose
Houston claiming they've recovered
We'll have to wait and see until they unravel
Brian Mitchell took a shot at a moving Houston ball
And now we view it to make sure he wants it down so it don't get too excited
But it looked like the bubble of the ball did come out
On the return, here comes Mitchell
What a great shot this is right from behind
You'll be able to see it
Here comes that ball is out
No question about it
The ball is out
Steve Jackson almost had it in his hands
And then the Houston Oilers come up with the ball
What field position this is
You know, remember something, here it comes again
What a great hit
That ball does draw a crowd
You know, let me just tell you something
Folks, when we started this game
We talked about how evenly matched these two teams were
Offensively and defensively
Listen to this, the score is 13-13
They averaged 12 points
Washington, Houston, 13 on defense
Mike Jumas on the recovery
And it's a first down at the 23-yard line
What did not get outside
Monty Coleman was there to hit him for the loss
And a timeout has been taken with a minute and 28
Remaining in the fourth quarter
Washington using its final timeout
Houston has two left
Yeah, Washington uses a timeout here
Because they want Houston, I guess, to put the ball up in the air
But the reason they're using the timeout here
They figured they're not going to get the ball back
Basically with much time on the clock
So they're trying to hold him here
Forced Houston to throw the ball
This is going to be, if Howfield kicked the ball now
It would be a 43-yard field goal
So Washington, they don't care if the clock runs out and it's tied
Ian Howfield, a young man who has had very limited experience
Did not kick much in high school and college
College of Tennessee, in fact, he was the backup
Cut by seven NFL teams
One WLAF team said no to him
He had been kicking for the Oklahoma City Twisters
A semi-foul flow
Had his agent call Houston management
After the sound of far-one veterans Teddy Garcia and Raul Alegre's struggle
The first two inches in games
Got a shot, but Houston made the club
He's had some tough times recently, but he's done alright today
Second down, 14
Moved, able to complete
Ernest Gibbons stopped by Charles Mann
Clock is running
Down to 115 remaining in the fourth quarter
One-time Washington Redskins head coach and player Jack Pardee
Came to Washington back in 1971
As a 35-year-old linebacker
He was a card-carrying member of George Allen's over-the-hill gang
After his all-pro days during a long career with the L.A. Rams
He was fired, though, by the Washington Redskins
By the new owner, Jack Kent Cooke
Well, Gibbs took over
Pardee says it's not a grudge match
But others on the order say he watched this one badly
White stops by Monty Coleman
Down to 30 seconds
Moon took that play clock down to one second
This is the field goal
They just put the ball, try to put it in the middle of the field
Or basically in the middle of the field
And now they'll let the clock run down to about four or five seconds
Call a timeout
I'd let it run down to three
So you don't have to kick off
And this would be a 33-yard field goal attempt
For Howfield, who earlier hit from 24
And from 24 and also converted the extra point
So we're down to four seconds
Check of the cannon, 10-minute ticker
One final buffalo just getting by to England
Well, Green Bay of the Jets go to overtime
And Minnesota has knocked off Tampa Bay
And coming up the head and shoulders
NFL Live post-game show hosted by Bob Costas
Four seconds remaining in regulation
Houston and Washington tied at 13
Perhaps the Houston Oilers career of Ian Howfield
On the line from 33 yards away
He just hooks this ball, watch this
He pulls it all the way out
I mean, it's not missing by a little
He missed it by a lot to the outside
Now, take this thing
