00:00And Newhouse, the quarterback, Stauber.
00:086 or 7, Doug Buffoon made the tackle.
00:11You'll hear number 55's name called out quite a bit.
00:14Second down, 3 yards to go.
00:20Not quite, not quite a first down. Hicks, the middle linebacker, was the first hitter.
00:26On the third down, it's Dorsett.
00:28For a first down.
00:32Gary Fencek, the safety man, up to hit first.
00:42Green pass is sent up to Dorsett.
00:45Lost it.
00:48I think the Bears have recovered.
00:51Looks like it.
00:52Osborne with the football.
00:55Woo!
00:57Gonna throw early. And does.
01:01Couple of tackles broken up by number 89, James Scott, the wide receiver, finally stopped by D.D. Lewis.
01:06Oh, you couldn't ask for better weather.
01:10Hayden.
01:13Not a first down.
01:15Aaron Kyle and Benny Barnes, 25 and 31, made the tackle.
01:21A third down situation coming up and a shotgun formation for Dallas and Rockets gonna run.
01:26He'll get the first.
01:28And does for the 35.
01:31Second and 10, it is Newhouse to the weak side.
01:34Newhouse got another Dallas first down, a fine effort by Robert Newhouse.
01:38Just shy of the 50 yard line before he's tackled by Tom Hicks.
01:43Dorsett went outside the track.
01:46And outside the boundary mark.
01:48Allen Ellis chased him out of bounds.
01:50No scorers yet, it's third down now for Dallas.
01:53They need four for a first.
01:55Roger Staubach throws outside and got it.
01:59To Drew Pearson.
02:00Allen Ellis was the Bear defender, but no way to stop that.
02:05Newhouse.
02:07Misdirection.
02:08Fumble and the Bears have it again.
02:14Gary Fencek.
02:16It's a third down situation now for the Bears.
02:19Abilene drops.
02:22Good protection, it's batted up in the air and falls harmlessly.
02:27Fencek.
02:29Fencek.
02:31Fencek.
02:33Fencek.
02:34Fencek.
02:35Fencek.
02:37Gregory moving, Tuttall's coming to the inside.
02:40Picked up pretty well by Sawyer.
02:42And now Pfeiffer.
02:44I think it's Tuttall.
02:45Has to be.
02:47Oh.
02:496'9 plus.
02:52Hits back to Dorsett.
02:55Swerves around outside the 25 to the 26 with Gary Fencek.
03:00That'll give the ball back to Roger.
03:04Dorsett, upset is Dorsett because he didn't cut back a little altercation going on down
03:17there.
03:18First down for the Cowboys.
03:19Golden Richard inside the 30 to about the 27 before Tom Hicks made the tackle and he's
03:33going to retire.
03:34Chase by Newsom.
03:35Starbucks still going.
03:36Out of bounds.
03:37At about the 13 yard line.
03:38Looks pretty good.
03:39Newhouse has the football.
03:40Cutting back.
03:41Newhouse running over everybody.
03:42Down to about the 6.
03:43Allen Ellis made a tackle.
03:44Robert Newhouse.
03:45A heck of an effort.
03:47No score as yet.
03:48It is Newhouse again.
03:49It is Newhouse struggling to about the 1.
03:50And again.
03:51A tough run.

05:37Golden Richard's over blocking.
05:43Going for more.
05:46For Dupree.
05:49It is a touchdown.
05:50Heck of a catch by Billy Joe Dupree.
05:5528 yards.
05:56A touchdown to B.J.
06:00I'll tell you, he has really worked hard at it.
06:02Henry's team, 14-0.
06:05With 12 minutes and 23 seconds left to play in the second quarter.
06:08Dallas, 14-0.
06:17Allen Ellis and Doug Plank made the tackle.
06:20To move just enough to make the box easier.
06:23Here's Dorsett.
06:26Close to midfield.
06:27Hartenstein and Buffon on the tackle.
06:30On the ground for that one.
06:31Here comes Dorsett in motion.
06:34Starbucks running out to his right.
06:36And throwing.
06:38And out of bounds he goes in front of his own bench.
06:40Chased by Osborne.
06:46Newhouse again.
06:47It's a first down and more.
06:50Robert Newhouse stopped by Gary Fencek.
06:54But Newhouse bangs down to the fair 32.
07:01Dorsett.
07:03To the 25.
07:05Hartenstein made the tackle.
07:07But Dorsett again drowned out a hunker.
07:09Do it again, they say.
07:13Starbucks sets up a steal for Newhouse.
07:15And I mean sets it up.
07:19To the 8.
07:20Doug Buffon finally made the tackle with Gary Fencek.
07:26Johnson goes in motion.
07:28Dorsett has the ball.
07:30Inside the 5.
07:31Jerry Myers.
07:33First guy to hit him.
07:36Starbucks with a quarterback draw.
07:37Sees nothing materialize.
07:39That's Jerry Myers who wrapped him up.
07:42I'll tell you one thing.
07:44By a friend Herrera.
07:47It is good.
07:48And Dallas.
07:50Moves out 17-0 on a 21-yard field goal by a friend Herrera.
07:55A touchdown by Billy Joe Dupree.
07:57And a touchdown by Doug Denison.
07:593.45 left before the half.
08:01Shadows at Texas Stadium cause us some problems.
08:05Harvey Martin almost.
08:06Oh!
08:07Walter Payton.
08:08In a collision with Cliff Harris.
08:12Passing by for Randy White.
08:14Wasn't bad.
08:16Outside rolling Harper.
08:19Harper cuts back inside.
08:20Henderson is the guy who brought him down with help from Harris and Randy White.
08:24A pair of offensive guards.
08:25Second down.
08:26Avelini outside.
08:29Benny Barnes.
08:31Knocks Steve Schubert out of bounds.
08:36Avelini gives to Payton.
08:37Too tall.
08:38Jones got a hand on him.
08:39But Payton stays on his feet.
08:42Rockets down.
08:44Before he is stopped by Benny Barnes and Cliff Harris.
08:49Second down.
08:50Chicago.
08:51First time they've been in cowboy territory.
08:53Outside.
08:54Schubert.
08:56It is complete.
08:57Aaron Kyle on the coverage.
08:58Schubert.
08:59Fell on that big wide white stripe that goes around the field.
09:04Too numerous for us to mention right now.
09:06As Avelini throws for Latta.
09:10Charlie Waters takes him down.
09:13Waters is a pretty good safety man for a former Clemson quarterback.
09:17The Bears as a team didn't have many more than that.
09:20Avelini with good protection this time.
09:22For Latta.
09:24Picked off by Waters.
09:26Charlie Waters is going to stay in the end zone.
09:28And now he comes out.
09:29Waters.
09:31Comes out to about the 11.
09:32And he is disgusted with himself.
09:33Not because of the interception.
09:35But because of that indecision in the end zone.
09:40Newhouse fumbled once.
09:42Dorsett fumbled once.
09:43Early in the game.
09:44As Tom Landry walks to the dressing room.
09:47You wouldn't know it.
09:48But he's got to be pleased.
09:49They lead 17-0.
09:52Players were staying in the same place we were.
09:53And it was already a war.
09:55Picked off.
09:56By D.D. Lewis.
09:58And D.D.'s got some blockers.
10:00Lewis around the corner.
10:01To the 30.
10:02Lewis.
10:03To the 20.
10:04And out of bounds.
10:05Dan Piper knocked him out of bounds.
10:07But the Cowboys have it in good shape.
10:11And probably the best year for number 50 of all of them.
10:1417-0.
10:15Ball on the 22 now.
10:16As Newhouse lost to.
10:18He had 79 yards himself in the first half.
10:20Here's Dorsett.
10:24He's in.
10:33You're on the defensive side.
10:34Here it is.
10:36Newhouse filling to that side.
10:37The stutter step.
10:38And Staubach took it all the way back to him.
10:40There goes Hickstown.
10:41Fitzgerald's block was good.
10:43And I'm telling you now.
10:44You better head him off at the pass.
10:47It's over.
10:48Too late.
10:50Chicago Bears nothing.
10:52After the interception by D.D. Lewis.
10:56It took the Cowboys just two plays.
10:58To make it 24-0.
11:01And Harper behind him.
11:04The blitz.
11:05And Abilene.
11:06Running from Kyle.
11:07Goes down.
11:08Fumbles.
11:09And I believe Dallas has it.
11:12Cowboys own the football.
11:14Bill Gregory.
11:16And the blitz by Aaron Kyle.
11:18Got the Bears in trouble.
11:19And lower left.
11:21There's the safety man Kyle.
11:23And watch Henderson run through Harper's block.
11:25And nearly right in the back.
11:27And the ball came out.
11:28That was a fumble.
11:30Cowboy defense is really angry.
11:38Billy Joe Dupree had turned up the field.
11:40And Roger Staubach thought he was going to go to the sideline.
11:42He didn't.
11:44And there's a lot of questions to ask about how you did that.
11:47It is good.
11:50From a friend.
11:52That's the way he says it.
11:5431-yard field goal.
11:56Makes it Dallas 27.
11:58Chicago.
11:59The Cowboys over Bears.
12:01From the shotgun.
12:02For the second time today.
12:03Staubach throws.
12:05Picked off by Virgil Leibers.
12:07Leibers.
12:09Gets back to about the 43-yard line.
12:11Where Jay Salve knocks him out of bounds.
12:13But the Bears.
12:14For the second time now.
12:16Have the ball in Dallas territory.
12:17They desperately need to get something on the scoreboard.
12:19And they give it to Walter Taton.
12:21That's as good a way as I know.
12:23Taton bounces.
12:25Stays on his feet.
12:27Is that incredible?
12:29Harvey Martin finally got it down.
12:31Now Sorey got out in front in great shape.
12:33The big right guard.
12:35He's a rookie and only started five games.
12:37There's Taton and Ed.
12:39Two tall Jones.
12:42And Larry Cole was the guy who hit him first.
12:45He stays in the block.
12:47Avelini with good protection.
12:49This time throws down the middle.
12:51Again it's picked off.
12:53This time it's Waters.
12:55Waters cuts back to the middle.
12:57Cuts back to the other side.
12:59Charlie Waters still on his feet.
13:01And still.
13:03Waters.
13:05To the 46.
13:07Bob Avelini finally made the tackle.
13:09In the year.
13:11Danny White trying for the sideline.
13:13Got it.
13:15Everything's going right.
13:19Danny White trying for the corner.
13:21And he got it.
13:23And here comes Mike Gipja.
13:25Duran and DeJesus.
13:27That alone is spectacular.
13:29On first down.
13:31Avelini gets to Walter Taton.
13:33And down he goes.
13:35Harvey Martin caught him from behind.
13:37Watch the left of your screen.
13:39Taton never saw it.
13:40Taton never saw it.
13:42Train comes through here on Tuesday.
13:44Right?
13:46And it comes through fast.
13:48Second down.
13:50Chicago.
13:52Avelini drops in his own zone.
13:54Ed Jones almost had him for his safety.
13:56But Avelini gets it out to Greg Latta.
13:58And the Bears pop it up.
14:00Jeannie Lewis picks it up.
14:02Lewis.
14:04At the 8-yard line.
14:06Where Dallas will take over.
14:07Doug Jennison and Robert Newhouse.
14:09And Dorsett.
14:11And this is Dorsett.
14:13This is a Dallas touchdown.
14:20Number 64.
14:22Get out in front.
14:24To the right of your screen.
14:26Newhouse will film.
14:28Watch this move right here.
14:30See you later.
14:32And really all you have to do is film.
14:34Yeah, he came back and loosened it up.
14:35He came back and loosened it up.
14:43It's second and chance.
14:45Avelini.
14:47Rose pick off.
14:49This is Charlie Waters third of the day.
14:52Waters to the 30.
14:58From defense to offense.
15:00And not only get the ball and get possession.
15:02But really turn it on.
15:03And get good blocks.
15:05And rally up.
15:07Really helps the defense.
15:09You know it?
15:14That's Doug Jennison.
15:16Bangs down to about the 23.
15:18Shy of a first down.
15:20Stopped by Wayman Bryant and Billy Newsom.
15:24Roger.
15:26He's got Vincent.
15:28And they have a Dallas first down.
15:30Doug Buffoon knocked him out of bounds.
15:33Delayed handoff to Jennison.
15:35And he is near the 10.
15:37And perhaps there.
15:39By the way, San Diego and Los Angeles are blacked out.
15:43On the west coast.
15:45A friend Herrera.
15:47Or the field goal number three.
15:49Which again splits it.
15:51Dallas goes out in front 37 to nothing.
15:54Over the Chicago Bears.
15:56And we still.
15:58Herrera catches this one pretty good.
16:00That is Waltershy returning.
16:02And breaking.
16:05And down finally.
16:07By Jim Cooper I believe.
16:09Number 61.
16:1140-yard return.
16:13Lenny Wilkins.
16:15Lenny Wilkins still.
16:19Washington incident.
16:21And Jones again made the tackle.
16:23Or made the stop.
16:25Possible.
16:27When he hit Peyton behind the line of scrimmage.
16:29And enabled Randy White.
16:31To finally bring him down.
16:33Either Los Angeles.
16:35Or Minnesota.
16:37Harvey Martin apparently got back.
16:39And here is Peyton running away.
16:41Peyton breaks a couple of tackles.
16:43And continues.
16:45A flag goes down.
16:47I think we might have a face mask.
16:49Unintentional.
16:51Yeah.
16:52And very quickly taken off.
16:54It might have been Henderson reaching around.
16:56And they had first choice that year.
16:58They took Bartkowski.
16:59And took Ken Huff.
17:01The guard from North Dakota.
17:03And placed him inside.
17:05Here is Peyton struggling again.
17:07Peyton got 8 or 9 yards.
17:09Before Mike Hickman made the tackle.
17:11Along with Randy White.
17:13Looks like he was running through the surf.
17:15Didn't he?
17:17Must have had four bodies down around the ankles.
17:19And he just kept wading through.
17:21Here is the draw play to Peyton.
17:23Struggle for the football.
17:25It belongs to Dallas.
17:26It belongs to Dallas.
17:28Cliff Harris.
17:30It's the only way you can possibly defense this guy.
17:33Is to put as many men as you can get on him.
17:36At the same time.
17:38There's two.
17:40Three.
17:42I think it was Randy White from the back side that caused it.
17:46Avelini drops.
17:48Shubert.
17:50Charlie Waters.
17:52Bring him as quick as he is.
17:53Personal foul.
17:55Roughing the passer.
17:57Number 54 defense.
17:59The penalty is tacked on to the completed pass.
18:01First down.
18:08Peyton is pulled down by Gregory.
18:11And somebody else in the bottom of the pile.
18:137 to go for a first down.
18:16Avelini throws outside.
18:18Shubert has it.
18:20Knocked out of bounds by Mark Washington.
18:21Benny Barnes gets a little rest.
18:23He was looking around for all of us.
18:27Robin Earle straight ahead.
18:29Picks up the bare first down.
18:31Stopped by Bill Gregory.
18:33Earle got the clutch touchdown.
18:35Now I know what to do when my feet get cold.
18:39That's a bare first down.
18:41Cowboys pitch to he don't have Avelini.
18:43And he fires for Shubert.
18:45And he's going to have a bare touchdown.
18:47Cliff Harris back there with him.
18:48But Steve Shubert takes the strike from Avelini.
18:51And with the Dallas Cowboys.
18:53Shubert has caught 5 passes by the way.
18:55From 69 yards.
18:57They signed a friend Herrera.
18:59The Cowboys did.
19:01And released Bob Thompson.
19:03The Bears are glad they did.
19:06Begin to leave and get that early start.
19:08Outside it goes to Walter Peyton.
19:10He slips by Aaron Kyle.
19:12And cuts back to the middle.
19:14Still on his feet.
19:16Peyton out to me.
19:18He's in the midfield.
19:20Just a little example.
19:22Of his capability right there.
19:24Now the running backs.
19:26Avelini throws outside.
19:28Scott has it.
19:30At the 35 yard line at Dallas.
19:32Aaron Kyle stopped him.
19:34Casper.
19:36And the snake were pretty impressive too.
19:38And Oakland in company.
19:40Harvey Martin takes down Avelini.
19:42Peyton out of the backfield.
19:44Ed Jones.
19:46This time from the other side.
19:48Too tall.
19:50Comes around the corner.
19:52Sacks Avelini.
19:54Well Avelini got both backs out.
19:56And.
19:58They deserve to go to the playoffs.
20:00Here's Doug Denison.
20:02Breaking out for a first down.
20:04Gary Fencek made the tackle.
20:06Looking for Jack Pardee.
20:08And looking for Jack Pardee.
20:09And looking to shake hands right now.
20:11And Pardee's going out.
20:13To do just that.
20:16Landry waves.
20:18Pardee looks.
20:21He's still looking.
20:23I remember though when he had the expansion team.
20:25And that was really a bunch.
20:27Tom you mean?
20:29Yeah Tom Landry.
20:31And I never heard him alibi or complain then either.
20:33He wears well doesn't he?
20:35He hasn't changed.
20:37He really hasn't changed from the days that.
20:39He and I were together in New York.
20:41Well as Charlie Walters.
20:43Walks over here.
20:45Congratulating the Chicago Bears.
20:47Charlie you had three interceptions a day.
20:49And if we had to talk to anybody.
20:51We'd have to almost talk to the whole team.
20:53This was a great overall effort.
20:55Awesome display by Dallas.
20:57Thanks a lot.
20:59You know we've been waiting a year to get back in this position.
21:01Where we could.
21:03The first round of the playoffs are very important.
21:05You know we lost L.A. the first round last year.
21:07And that's all we've been thinking about.
21:09And we're just ready.
21:11You know if we can harness all this energy.
21:13And make it happen next week.
21:15We want to be in the bowl.
21:17What about the first half.
21:19When the Bears looked like they were going to put some points on the board.
21:21That wasn't your man.
21:23Ladder looked like it was wide open.
21:25You came from the other side.
21:27With just a beautiful interception.
21:29Thanks.
21:31We had a zone defense on.
21:33Where I and Cliff and I were supposed to take half the field.
21:35And I just set it up.
21:37Wanted Bob to throw it in there.
21:39But when we made those two fumbles on offense.
21:41And our defense came in.
21:43And stopped them right then.
21:45At their strength.
21:47And then we were able to control the game from then on.
21:49Dallas defense was awesome.
21:51What about Walter Payton.
21:53You stopped him cold for three quarters.
21:55This guy gives 110% every time he runs a football.
21:57Did you think that you would control him.
21:59Coming in.
22:01Well we had controlled him last year.
22:03But he had a bad ankle.
22:05And the more we watched him this year on film.
22:07The more we were impressed with him.
22:09And great character.
22:11And he must be the heart of their team.
22:15And you saw what he was made out of this game.
22:17And the last of the game he was still going 110%.
22:19Breaking tackles.
22:2137 points behind.
22:23And he is by far the best running back in the NFL today.
22:25You know I get a kick out of all the writers.
22:27They keep saying Dallas has great potential.
22:29They're going to reach their potential.
22:31As far as I'm concerned you've reached it.
22:33You cannot play maybe a better.
22:35You can't play a better offensive game than you did today.
22:37Thank you.
22:39We'll check it out at the end of the season.
22:41Because that's the measuring stick on your team.
22:43Is whether you can reach that big game.
22:45And that's what we're playing for.
22:47Well continued good luck.
22:49Charlie Walters with three interceptions a day.
22:51Pat.
22:53Brent.
22:55Tom Landry is extremely happy today.
22:57Because Tom your team played so well.
22:59Both offensively and defensively.
23:01Well we played the best game I guess we played all year.
23:03We were really up for the ball game.
23:05And our offense moved Chris.
23:07And even our specialty teams played extremely well.
23:09You know you've been talking about potential now.
23:11For about six or seven weeks.
23:13And reading about the quotes.
23:15I don't know about potential.
23:17This team has already reached its peak.
23:19Well it showed its potential today.
23:21And it hasn't always done that every week.
23:23But it did today.
23:25And it was a great tribute to them.
23:27Because they were ready to play.
23:29And the Bears are to be congratulated.
23:31They brought a team in here.
23:33And they came a long way to get here.
23:35And if you as you said on the sideline.
23:37You know how tough a job it was.
23:39He never quits.
23:41A great tribute to that player.
23:43He's a fine runner.
23:45You know I'm glad you said that Tom.
23:47Because I have a sneaking suspicion.
23:49The Bears are going to be in the playoffs the next couple years.
23:51I'm afraid so.
23:53As long as they got Walter Payton.
23:55They're going to be around.
23:57Well let's look ahead a little bit Tom.
23:59Of course I know you're going to be interested.
24:01In the TV game coming up on CBS.
24:03Out on the west coast.
24:05Do you prefer maybe Minnesota Vikings coming down here.
24:07That's a good reference Paul.
24:09I knew you'd say that.
24:11Well I think the Vikings are much stronger than people think they are.
24:13They played very good at Detroit.
24:15When you lose your first quarterback.
24:17And then they come back and play the way they did against Detroit.
24:19To get in this thing.
24:21They're tough.
24:23And they're going to be tough today.
24:25And we've had a lot of great games with both teams.
24:27And it's going to be a great game we play Sunday too.
24:29How about the injury situation.
24:31Didn't seem as anyone on the Dallas side was hurt.
24:33I think we came out all right.
24:35I held Preston Pearson out today.
24:37And I took a chance.
24:39And I held him out so he'll be ready Sunday.
24:41And he's a very vital player for us.
24:43The start set looked great.
24:45Yeah Tony's just come on so great.
24:47And he's just such a great runner.
24:49And what a great future he has.
24:51Well thank you very much.
24:53Tom Landry of Dallas Cowboys.
24:55Now back to you Brent.
24:57Being all pro no question about it for years to come.
24:59Big Harvey Martin.
25:01Harvey led the National Football League in sacks.
25:03Had another great day.
25:05Your defense was just simply beautiful out there today.
25:07The National Football League and rushing is just phenomenal.
25:09Man I've been having nightmares every night watching them on film.
25:11He's a super guy.
25:13And he broke some runs out there today to let everybody know that he can run.
25:15The defense though with guys like Charlie and Cliff and Randy and Too Tall and Bruni.
25:19Just a lot of talent on this football team.
25:21A lot of talent.
25:23And the guys work hard.
25:25We're a unit and we're a team.
25:27And we lose together and we win together.
25:29Would you rather play the Rams here or Minnesota?
25:31I don't really care.
25:33I'm just happy to be in it.
25:35This time last year we were walking back here all sad and broken hearted.
25:37In the opener of the playoffs.
25:39And this year we won it.
25:41Hopefully we can go on next week and play a good game against whoever is coming.
25:43I really don't care.
25:45I'm just happy to be there.
25:47I think that shows you the attitude of all the Dallas Cowboys here at Texas Stadium.
25:50Now back to you Brent.
25:52Right now let's go back to the locker room.
25:54Paul Horning is standing by with the winning quarterback Roger Staubach.
25:57Paul.
25:59And if you're going to be a quarterback in the National Football League.
26:01It's pretty good to be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
26:03Roger Staubach has done such an excellent job for so many years.
26:05Roger.
26:07Everything looked like it was well oiled out there today offensively.
26:11Well we got to where we felt we could run the football.
26:14And all of a sudden we had two fumbles.
26:16And the thing is we were moving the ball.
26:18So we felt the running game was going to be a key.
26:20And we had a good first half.
26:22We really executed well.
26:24We ran the ball well.
26:26And hit a couple passes at the right time.
26:28And it was probably the best first half as far as just moving the football.
26:30Other than the turnovers we've had this year.
26:32Could this become the best Dallas team you've played on?
26:33Well it potentially is.
26:35It's a great team with Tony back there.
26:37Gives us a dimension we really haven't had.
26:39A guy that can go all the way at any time.
26:41And Bob Newhouse has run well.
26:43And we've got a young offensive line that's gotten stronger every game this year.
26:47So potentially I'm looking at the offense.
26:50It's the best offense we've had.
26:52Defensively also we've got a lot of young people that are playing well.
26:55So it's a week to week business though.
26:57And it's nice this week.
26:59But next week it's another challenge.
27:01Thank you very much Roger.
27:03Thank you Paul.
