00:00:00of the year. I'll receive.
00:00:09Talk to our finale about that
00:00:11last night about Fred Silva
00:00:12being the ultimate official he
00:00:13said despite the controversial
00:00:15calls he is still great very
00:00:17high in our opinion I think it's
00:00:18a nice gesture on their part.
00:00:21Right. You are Alex. We look at
00:00:22a close up of Tony Dorsett one
00:00:24year ago in a bowl game leading
00:00:26Pittsburgh to victory and he ran
00:00:28to the NFC championship game.
00:00:30It'll be Tony Dorsett and the
00:00:32Cowboys as we look now at the
00:00:34two men to receive Manfred
00:00:36Moore number 36 will be deep.
00:00:38Sammy White will be up short to
00:00:40his right and to his left
00:00:42Robert Miller three men in the
00:00:46middle of block Keller along
00:00:48with Hamilton and Gary and we're
00:00:50waiting for Efren Herrera the
00:00:52pride of Guadalajara Efren who
00:00:56has been the NFC all pro
00:00:57kicker he led the conference
00:01:00with ninety three points and
00:01:02Herrera will kick it off and in
00:01:03one moment the NFC championship
00:01:06game gets underway to find out
00:01:08who plays Denver in the Super
00:01:10Bowl Herrera belted deep that
00:01:23means Manfred Moore on a seven
00:01:25yard line to the 20 to the
00:01:27twenty five to the thirty to
00:01:29the thirty five at the thirty
00:01:30eight Mike Hickman brought him
00:01:32down making first contact right
00:01:35there with him was Bruce
00:01:35Huther.
00:01:37So we'll take a look at the
00:01:38Vikings offensively up front
00:01:40Riley Goodrum Tingle Hawk White
00:01:42and Gary the men who will handle
00:01:44the football Ahmad Rashad Sammy
00:01:46White and the tight end Stu
00:01:47Boyd in the backfield Bob Lee at
00:01:49the helm Robert Miller and Chuck
00:01:51Foreman the running back first
00:01:54series will be critical for the
00:01:55Vikings they can get seven
00:01:56points on the board the chances
00:01:58are greatly enhanced I'll tell
00:01:59you that from the Viking thirty
00:02:02eight yard line and it's Chuck
00:02:04Foreman with Bob Miller leading
00:02:06a pack and he gets it to the 40
00:02:08yard line a pickup of two so
00:02:10it'll be second and a let's take
00:02:13a look at the pokes now the
00:02:14Cowboys defensively with Jones
00:02:17Q White and Martin and by the
00:02:18way number seventy five Jethro
00:02:20Pugh in his twenty first
00:02:21playoff game Henderson Brunig
00:02:23and Lewis and the linebackers
00:02:25Lawrence Kyle and at safety's
00:02:27waters in Harrods on the
00:02:30sidelines second and eight from
00:02:36the 40 yard line right wide left
00:02:38Rashad right play option fake to
00:02:40Miller down the left side by
00:02:44Aaron Kyle the pass was intended
00:02:46for Sammy White that time the
00:02:49Dallas was in that flex defense
00:02:50if you remember what the 49ers
00:02:51did to him they scored about
00:02:53thirty five points on Dallas and
00:02:54just that way flex defense is
00:02:56very effective against the run
00:02:58but not so effective against the
00:02:59past touchdown you pass for
00:03:01fifty three old Tom Landry the
00:03:03only coach in Dallas ever had
00:03:05and his overall record one
00:03:07hundred and sixty one victories
00:03:09there is Doug Dumbler who did a
00:03:10remarkable job of snapping the
00:03:12ball in the mud in Los Angeles
00:03:15third and eight from the 40 yard
00:03:17line slot left right is inside
00:03:22the rim.
00:03:24Foreman Miller who fumbled and I
00:03:27think Dallas has recovered.
00:03:28Let's see.
00:03:29Harvey Martin fell on Robert
00:03:33Miller on what appeared to be an
00:03:36unsure handoff.
00:03:38Take another look.
00:03:39Let's take a look at it and see
00:03:40where the ball comes loose and
00:03:42off is made there.
00:03:44He just lost his poor exchange
00:03:45somewhere another I don't believe
00:03:46he ever had possession.
00:03:47There's Martin 79 coming down on
00:03:49the big break obviously for
00:03:50Dallas.
00:03:50It looked like it went just under
00:03:52the left arm of Robert Miller
00:03:54and he didn't have control of it
00:03:55at all.
00:03:56So it is first in 10 of the
00:03:58Minnesota 39 yard line and the
00:04:00Cowboys in a big spot right away
00:04:04to Pearson is left all the other
00:04:07way.
00:04:08Newhouse and Dorsett behind
00:04:10Starbuck Robert and he is hit by
00:04:13McNeil and he carries McNeil to
00:04:15the 32 yard line Dallas
00:04:21offensively nearly who is going
00:04:22to retire after this year.
00:04:24Scott Fitzgerald Rafferty and
00:04:26Donovan Golden Richards Drew
00:04:29Pearson and the tight end Billy
00:04:30Joe Dupre in the backfield
00:04:32Roger Starbuck along with Tony
00:04:34Dorsett and Robert Newhouse
00:04:36second and three in motion is
00:04:44Drew Pearson one faith by
00:04:49Starbuck reaching out of the
00:05:02bag make the little quick quick
00:05:04screen that time Goldrich just
00:05:06took off they over committed
00:05:09take a look at Golden Richard
00:05:11number 83.
00:05:12Look at him.
00:05:13He just likes their watch Bobby
00:05:14Bryant come up try to force that
00:05:16quick screen that's behind him
00:05:19like a stand up to bagger in a
00:05:22disastrous turn of event for
00:05:24Minnesota and a big play for
00:05:26Roger Starbuck and the Cowboys a
00:05:2832 yard scoring pass Golden
00:05:31Richards all alone Bobby Bryant
00:05:32nothing to do but watch him fall
00:05:34in the end zone Herrera trying to
00:05:36make it seven nothing no good.
00:05:40And so Efrin Herrera shocks this
00:05:42crowd by failing the point after
00:05:45he was thirty nine for forty one
00:05:47in the regular season but he
00:05:49missed that one and so in the
00:05:50early going Dallas has drawn
00:05:52first blood leading six nothing
00:05:57in less than two minutes Dallas
00:05:59leading Minnesota six to nothing
00:06:01Harvey Martin recovering a
00:06:02fumble by Robert Miller and
00:06:04Starbuck cashing in chips with
00:06:06two plays a 32 yard touchdown
00:06:08touchdown pass to Golden
00:06:09Richards for six Efrin Herrera
00:06:11missing the point after we have
00:06:141322 to go in the first quarter
00:06:17the chairs aren't warm yet if
00:06:19they heat up at all here in
00:06:20Texas today and it's Manfred
00:06:22Moore to the 15 to the 20 to the
00:06:2625 30 35 40 42 Herrera tried to
00:06:31bring him down and couldn't Randy
00:06:33Hughes finally hit him at the 42
00:06:36yard line a big return by
00:06:38Manfred Moore and for more came
00:06:40over in a trade from San
00:06:41Francisco last week he was
00:06:42outstanding on punt returns for
00:06:44the Vikings that's something you
00:06:46don't see happen to the Cowboys
00:06:47very often Mike did get a
00:06:48special teams doing a heck of a
00:06:49job this year.
00:06:51Look at Efrin.
00:06:52He's a pretty good athlete.
00:06:54He has made a lot of tackles on
00:06:55kickoff teams unlike so many of
00:06:56the other kickers around the
00:06:57first tackle Herrera ever made
00:06:59on a kickoff for Dallas.
00:07:00He knocked the receiver
00:07:01unconscious.
00:07:05Foreman barreling across the 45
00:07:08out to the 47 yard line and of
00:07:10course for Minnesota they need
00:07:12to do something to pump up the
00:07:14spirits.
00:07:15Chuck Foreman is not a bad way
00:07:16to start what a week he had last
00:07:17week over 100 yards and that
00:07:19mother in Los Angeles played a
00:07:21great inspirational game last
00:07:22week.
00:07:23Chuck Foreman and Robert Miller
00:07:25there's two tall Jones too tall
00:07:27at six nine to sixty five.
00:07:30His mother is five five and a
00:07:32half which is a shocker.
00:07:34Second and six from the forty
00:07:36seven second man Robert Miller
00:07:41death row.
00:07:42He tried to hook him slowed him
00:07:44up and down he went.
00:07:46You're trying to bring him down
00:07:47with one arm but Robert Miller
00:07:49pretty tough little hombre five
00:07:50eleven two hundred and four
00:07:52pounder out of Kansas playing
00:07:53for the injured Brent McClanahan
00:07:57remember that Walter Payton in
00:07:59the game in 13 carries could get
00:08:01only 60 yards against this tough
00:08:04Dallas defense.
00:08:05The challenge is out there for
00:08:07the Vikings third and fourth
00:08:09almost a long five and late to
00:08:23collect that thing nine feet over
00:08:27the top of the ninth inning
00:08:28Minnesota Vikings won the toss
00:08:36and that's about all so far
00:08:40looks concerned from here you
00:08:42would have to think she might be
00:08:43a Minnesota player.
00:08:44Barbara Streisand on a fourth
00:08:48and four.
00:08:49Neil Clabo will be finding from
00:08:51his own thirty five yard line
00:08:53deep and Butch Johnson will
00:08:57handle it and look out.
00:08:59It's staggered but stays on his
00:09:00feet and finally goes down just
00:09:02short.
00:09:03It was Stadwell who hit him
00:09:04first and he finally brought it
00:09:06back up across the 20 yard line
00:09:08as you saw though we've got 11
00:09:13minutes and 42 seconds to go in
00:09:15the first quarter Dallas six
00:09:17Minnesota nothing Benny Barnes a
00:09:21six year man out of Stanford
00:09:24injured on that last punt and
00:09:27Barnes slowly coming off the
00:09:29field and meanwhile on the
00:09:30sidelines it's the Dallas
00:09:32Cowpoke against the Minnesota
00:09:33Viking get after meanwhile Roger
00:09:38Staubach and company will put it
00:09:40in play first and 10 the ball
00:09:42just shy of the 20 yard line
00:09:44Dallas leading six nothing 11 42
00:09:47in the first quarter.
00:09:48The first quarter Robert Newhouse
00:09:56grabbed by Fred McNeil at the
00:09:5720 and he falls forward to the
00:09:5922 because it was a high tackle
00:10:04Benny Barnes being ministered to
00:10:06right now.
00:10:08He got a kick in the inside of
00:10:10the right knee.
00:10:12I don't believe it seriously.
00:10:13He'd probably be back in the
00:10:14ballgame.
00:10:15Washington has been a starter on
00:10:16that side was in fact for two
00:10:18and a half years now.
00:10:19He can play very capably on that
00:10:21last play.
00:10:21Tony Dorsett getting up very
00:10:23slowly second and eight from the
00:10:25Cowboy 22 Pearson is wide left
00:10:27building Richard wide right set
00:10:29deep man out of the eye.
00:10:33Starbuck on a draw to go set
00:10:35to run by Matt Clare.
00:10:36Jeff Seaman brings him down and
00:10:38Paul Krause goes over the top of
00:10:40his helmet as he is just short
00:10:42of the first down I would figure
00:10:43he'll need a yard.
00:10:45Who said it's getting up kind of
00:10:47slow.
00:10:47I don't know about them.
00:10:48He took a lick on the previous
00:10:50play.
00:10:51I'm surprised he went into the
00:10:52huddle hurting from the previous
00:10:53play.
00:10:54I'm surprised they gave him the
00:10:55ball that time he got an injury
00:10:56last week came back in two plays
00:10:58later scored the guy like that.
00:11:00Well of course Roger Starbuck the
00:11:02quarterback played with a bad
00:11:03thumb a bad bruise.
00:11:05In fact Blackie Sherrod and
00:11:06talking about Starbuck said he
00:11:09sits down as often as the Statue
00:11:10of Liberty.
00:11:12Roger play with anything.
00:11:13He's quite a competitor.
00:11:14So he's going to do the same.
00:11:17He's going to go wide left.
00:11:20But Johnson wide right.
00:11:23Both backs go out and so does
00:11:25Starbuck and he runs into Seaman
00:11:27who brings him down just very
00:11:30close to the first down it'll be
00:11:31a question as to where they
00:11:32spotted pretty near but not
00:11:34close.
00:11:35Not quite.
00:11:38Evidently a pretty good job on
00:11:40the Minnesota secondary with all
00:11:42the receivers covered and Roger
00:11:44trying to go over the first down
00:11:45couldn't do it.
00:11:46I think it was a little bit
00:11:47better than Roger might have had
00:11:48run in mind that time he didn't
00:11:49take a very deep drop that time
00:11:51then Manfred Moore goes back to
00:11:53the Viking 32 yard line and
00:11:56Danny White will be kicking from
00:11:58the Dallas 15 9 35 in the first
00:12:02quarter it is six to nothing
00:12:04Dallas and it'll bounce just
00:12:12above the 40 and go out of bounds
00:12:14and it'll be the third time
00:12:15Minnesota will put it in play
00:12:17for the first time so Minnesota
00:12:19for the second time gets pretty
00:12:21good field position it'll be the
00:12:23third time they get their hands
00:12:24on the football and the Cowboys
00:12:26cashed in their first set in two
00:12:28plays to lead six nothing or
00:12:32cruel hoax 60 minutes incognito

00:13:04head of Sammy White Mark
00:13:06Washington in there for the
00:13:07injured Benny Barnes was covering
00:13:09the receiver and then covered all
00:13:11the way that sound to Sammy White
00:13:13story his dad was the news
00:13:16editor and bureau chief for the
00:13:17Associated Press he used to go
00:13:19into locker rooms in San
00:13:20Francisco and get postgame
00:13:21quotes with the biggest event in
00:13:23his life when he was 10 years
00:13:25old he had an infection of the
00:13:27frontal sinus and the bone
00:13:29around the eyeball he had an
00:13:31operation that saved his life
00:13:33and 22 years later here he is in
00:13:35the championship game 42 Chuck
00:13:38Foreman running into a crowd and
00:13:41he's caught down shy of the 45
00:13:44shut rope you and Ed Jones too
00:13:46tall last two games have been
00:13:48the strongest ever in his career
00:13:49he's really coming on take a
00:13:52look at a way let's take a look
00:13:54at it Chuck Foreman number 44
00:13:56with a handoff look at Ed Jones
00:13:57there number 72 autographs
00:14:01jamming it all up well they
00:14:03drafted him number one and they
00:14:04thought he was going to be the
00:14:05world beater and he was kind of
00:14:07slow he's been a steady
00:14:08performer but the last two weeks
00:14:09they tell me he's come on to be
00:14:10one of the really top big play
00:14:14third and a wide left right in
00:14:18a slot inside rim to the right
00:14:21back staying in now they're
00:14:22released to foreman and he gets
00:14:24across midfield and picks up the
00:14:26first down for Harris met him
00:14:28head on as you want to hurtling
00:14:30through the air or you wonder
00:14:31what you wonder why he doesn't
00:14:32have more injuries and it does
00:14:34as reckless as he plays what a
00:14:35reckless abandoned player he is
00:14:38probably with a rollout couldn't
00:14:39be safer passing this he needs
00:14:41to get a couple of completion
00:14:42settling down a little bit
00:14:44what's this guy's legs are still
00:14:47running in the air Mark
00:14:49Washington upended him and clip
00:14:51Harris hit him head on though
00:14:53the Vikings had a first in 10 on
00:14:55the Cowboy forty seven the shot
00:15:00is left right is right there
00:15:01goes Robert Miller behind a
00:15:03Charles Goodrum block and he
00:15:05gets across the forty five good
00:15:07he number sixty eight was
00:15:08hitting a bag we mentioned
00:15:13veteran team Nick Tingle and Jim
00:15:17Marshall for the Vikings in
00:15:18their 19th playoff game get
00:15:21through a few numbers seventy
00:15:22five for Dallas in his twenty
00:15:24first playoff game and on the
00:15:27sideline Benny Barnes getting at
00:15:29right knee tape figures that
00:15:33Benny Barnes will be back a
00:15:35little bit later second and
00:15:37second and four man gets to the
00:15:4040 yard line so he still has
00:15:43three yards to go for the first
00:15:44down to keep the drive alive
00:15:47boy Charlie Waters on the
00:15:48attacker Clemson University
00:15:51come on to be one of the top
00:15:52safety men in football three
00:15:53interceptions last week in that
00:15:55game against the Bears tied a
00:15:57record that goes back to nineteen
00:15:59forty four so Charlie Waters
00:16:00number forty three along with
00:16:02Cliff Harris Charlie just had a
00:16:05little baby baby girl about
00:16:07about a week ago I guess 10
00:16:08pounds third down and three from
00:16:13the forty and it is foreman who
00:16:15else and he is across the thirty
00:16:17five for the first down brought
00:16:20down by who else.
00:16:21Cliff Harris Nick Tingle off the
00:16:26veteran of so many years 16 of
00:16:28them and Ed White what's the
00:16:29block system driven by a year
00:16:31two big gaping hole as you see
00:16:33the Bears find it is the Dallas
00:16:39bench and in particular Robert
00:16:40Newhouse keeping his hands warm
00:16:42first and then from the thirty

00:16:46side throws it through the hands
00:16:48of Sammy White just over the
00:16:49fingertips of Mark Washington
00:16:51and out of bounds before Waters
00:16:53could get over Sammy White was
00:16:54shut out last week against the
00:16:55Rams that's unusual for him heck
00:16:58of a receiver rookie of the
00:16:59year as everybody knows last
00:17:01year nine touchdown passes this
00:17:02year.
00:17:04He can hurt you deep.
00:17:06The Vikings put the ball in play
00:17:08first and 10 on their own forty
00:17:10two.
00:17:10They have now reached the Cowboy
00:17:12thirty four second and 10 but
00:17:17Grant surrounded by his men 50
00:17:19year old is one over one hundred
00:17:21and seven regular game second
00:17:24and 10 from the Cowboy thirty
00:17:25four white is inside a shot in a
00:17:28slot right play action fake the
00:17:30foreman lead down the right side
00:17:32of the field intended for a shot
00:17:36Mark Washington was there and
00:17:38apparently they're going after
00:17:39the corner and the coverage was
00:17:41there slips a little bit I
00:17:42believe.
00:17:43Let's look at her shot.
00:17:47Yeah.
00:17:47Slipped on that turf it's been
00:17:48raining all week here in Dallas
00:17:50and until yesterday that field
00:17:51could be a little bit wet from
00:17:52that.
00:17:56So it is third and 10 from the
00:17:58Cowboy six to nothing Dallas
00:18:07Efron Herrera missing the point
00:18:09after and now the Vikings try to
00:18:12keep the drive alive.
00:18:13They have Bob Grimm wide right
00:18:16with white in a slot was shot his
00:18:18first time and he goes for the
00:18:30corner and gets it out and it'll
00:18:32go out of bounds at the 11 yard
00:18:34line.
00:18:34That's where the Cowboys will
00:18:35put it in play first and 10 from
00:18:37their own eleven twenty three
00:18:42yard punt with no return by 52
00:18:45to go in the first quarter six
00:18:46to nothing the 1978 CBS Sports

00:19:11that'll be 1978 CBS Sports
00:19:13Spectacular something to see
00:19:14tonight.
00:19:15Here's a look at the 11 Tony
00:19:17Dorsett across the 10 yard line
00:19:21before jumping over people at
00:19:23the down shy of the 15 Herbert
00:19:28Scott number 68 on the trap
00:19:30block here on Ellen.
00:19:31Let's look at it.
00:19:33He got a good position on that
00:19:35time goes it down pretty good
00:19:37though.
00:19:38Last week those Viking
00:19:39linebackers played just an
00:19:40exceptional game.
00:19:41They're going to do the same
00:19:41thing today if they're going to
00:19:42go down with a second and seven
00:19:46of all on their own 14 yard line
00:19:48style back flipping back to new
00:19:50house.
00:19:50Robert Blair gets him but he
00:19:51gets away and then the rest of
00:19:53the Vikings close in on him.
00:19:55So Matt Blair had him behind the
00:19:57line of scrimmage couldn't hold
00:19:58on to him.
00:19:59He was able to come back and
00:20:00gather him in Tom Landry.
00:20:06Boy what a story.
00:20:07The sixth all time winning list
00:20:10he came in with one hundred and
00:20:12sixty one overall victory during
00:20:14his reign and as we mentioned if
00:20:16he wins today he'll have won 13
00:20:18playoff games breaking a tie
00:20:20with Don to the Starbucks on the
00:20:35right side and tennis with
00:20:36Dorsett.
00:20:37Matt Blair was right there with
00:20:38him.
00:20:39No chance.
00:20:39Oh well I put a little rush on
00:20:41that time it's all back to a
00:20:42little bit before he wanted to
00:20:45or said was coming wide open
00:20:46that time.
00:20:47That's what I feel to run to
00:20:49Danny White who will be coming
00:20:51into pun for Dallas has averaged
00:20:53thirty nine yards a punt.
00:20:56Let's watch it out of that
00:20:57shotgun.
00:20:58Way Roger's team led the team in
00:21:01sacks issue with about 14.
00:21:03Well he's been a steady
00:21:04performer through the years a
00:21:05great individual.
00:21:06Danny White will be taking the
00:21:08man for more white from his own
00:21:10five yard line under a rush by
00:21:13McNeil but he got it away.
00:21:15Manfred Moore a fair catch.
00:21:17Otherwise Tom Henderson would
00:21:19have knocked him in Oklahoma.
00:21:20Henderson was right down there
00:21:22underneath it.
00:21:24Got a little right side of your
00:21:26picture there you see the rush
00:21:27there almost got how you got it
00:21:28out there I don't know that's
00:21:30Fred McNeil number 54 just miss
00:21:32smothering it this telecast
00:21:33presented by authority of the
00:21:35presented by authority of the
00:21:36National Football League

00:21:38our audience and a rebroadcast

00:21:47First and ten from the Cowboys
00:21:4848 lead to Robert Miller still
00:21:53on his feet across the 45
00:21:57underneath at the very bottom
00:21:59making the play with Tom
00:22:00Henderson.
00:22:02Oh the cowgirls they get a lot
00:22:04of knowledge out of the
00:22:05cheerleaders by the way Benny
00:22:10Barnes number 31 is back in
00:22:12action at the getting at right
00:22:13knee tape though Mark
00:22:15Washington who did a good job in
00:22:17his head comes out Barnes is
00:22:19back in there second and seven
00:22:23of all just inside the forty
00:22:25five for a minute is gobbled up
00:22:28and what a hit a fumble and big
00:22:31Jones had racked in the Cowboys
00:22:35seem to think that they have
00:22:36recovered and now it is made
00:22:38official.
00:22:39And what a hit by Jones took the
00:22:42good strong inside rush that
00:22:44time beat Ron Gary I suppose.
00:22:46Let me take a look at it and
00:22:47see behind the quarterback.
00:22:49Take a look.
00:22:50Look at it.
00:22:51Oh brother.
00:22:52Yes sir.
00:22:53Robert Miller had the block on
00:22:54him that time it wasn't Gary
00:22:55beat it all.
00:22:57Just a good solid inside rush
00:22:58that time gambled and gambled
00:23:00right.
00:23:00And it would be the second
00:23:01fumble recovery by Harvey Martin
00:23:03who recovered Robert Miller's
00:23:05fumble earlier and now this one
00:23:07by Foreman first and then
00:23:09Cowboys on their own.
00:23:10Forty five six nothing Dallas
00:23:16Robert Newhouse and McNeil
00:23:18straightens him up along with
00:23:19Seaman and they bring him down
00:23:21at the 48 yard line.
00:23:23Remember Minnesota had a pension
00:23:25for turnovers 18 during the
00:23:27regular year.
00:23:29Redman Neal every game gets a
00:23:30little better a little stronger
00:23:32or they're determined group.
00:23:33Don't count the Vikings that
00:23:34then determination means
00:23:36anything don't count them out.
00:23:38There's a Viking and a cowboy
00:23:41peaceful enough right now.
00:23:46Second and seven for the Cowboys
00:23:48on their own 48.
00:23:50Golden Richard's wide left
00:23:52group Pearson in motion play
00:23:53action fake to Dorset and
00:23:55Starbuck releases to Robert
00:23:57Newhouse and right there waiting
00:23:59is Matt Blair to take him down.
00:24:01However they have moved the ball
00:24:02into Viking territory and they
00:24:04need almost three yards for a
00:24:06first down six feet nine to Paul
00:24:11Jones who made that savage hit
00:24:13on Chuck Foreman who told Paul
00:24:15said that they were when he had
00:24:17said that it's all takes him 32
00:24:19minutes to stand up six nine a
00:24:23lot of man is Chuck Foreman in
00:24:24the game.
00:24:25He's got that to but Grant who
00:24:28has seen a Viking ball club
00:24:30fumble and turn the ball over so
00:24:31often during the year.
00:24:33He's possibly humbled so far
00:24:34today.
00:24:37Third and two and it'll be
00:24:42Dorset and it just depends as he
00:24:45runs into a gang.
00:24:46It did not appear from the first
00:24:48look that he got in the first
00:24:49down.
00:24:50Like you get stubborn in it.
00:24:52They gave persons 275 yards in
00:24:55their game and they only scored
00:24:56gave up 10 points.
00:24:57They give you a lot of yardage
00:24:58on the ground but when it gets
00:24:59down there and they get up.
00:25:02One thing about the Vikings if
00:25:04they had really been discouraged
00:25:05they'd never made it this far.
00:25:08Watch it again here.
00:25:09Newhouse number 45 Valley home
00:25:12his block.
00:25:12All right.
00:25:13Like he's not allowing them a
00:25:15big play there.
00:25:15Let's see what they do on the
00:25:16fourth down fourth down Manfred
00:25:18Moore going deep flanked by Bob
00:25:20Graham on his right and Joe
00:25:22Hayhack on his left number 21
00:25:25and Danny White will be putting
00:25:27his average thirty nine point
00:25:29six yards a punt from his own
00:25:32forty five.
00:25:34He tries to kick it out of
00:25:35bounds instead it is near on a
00:25:38fair catch by Manfred Moore on
00:25:40his own eleven yard line and so
00:25:43the Vikings for the first time
00:25:45do not have good field position.
00:25:47That's the one thing they've
00:25:48had that was a thirty five yard
00:25:49punt say we got a great night
00:25:51tonight.
00:25:52Be sure to watch for 60 minutes
00:25:53at 830 730 Central and Mountain
00:25:56and it's regular time seven
00:25:57o'clock Pacific then be in Mel's
00:25:59Dinah when George Burns dropped
00:26:01in to stir things up on Alice
00:26:03and wrapping up tonight's
00:26:04entertainment.
00:26:04Another great Carol Burnett show
00:26:06guest star Steve Lawrence first
00:26:12in 10 of the Minnesota 12 and
00:26:16four wrapped up just as he got
00:26:19the ball in a good Randy White
00:26:22among others plugging it up.
00:26:24Well he is the player that's
00:26:25coming on replacing Bob Lillie
00:26:27and there's a big shoot the
00:26:28field but brother if there's a
00:26:29guy that can do it he is me and
00:26:32they want out of Maryland.
00:26:34He's going to be a great
00:26:35football player not as big as
00:26:37Willie but every bit as quick
00:26:38perhaps even stronger.
00:26:41So they picked up one on that
00:26:43play as we look at Ron Gary
00:26:45trying to find out where Ed Jones
00:26:47is coming from.
00:26:48Second and I'm Danny White in
00:26:50motion to the left and got
00:26:52cornered across the 15 to the
00:26:5417 Bob Brunig had a big shot and
00:26:58brought him down number 53.
00:26:59Brunig has done a good job
00:27:01inheriting a great role played
00:27:04by Leroy Jordan.
00:27:06I played it for so long so well
00:27:08but it takes a while to play
00:27:09this Dallas defense in the
00:27:11middle.
00:27:12We'll get better and better
00:27:13probably the weakest linebacker
00:27:14that's not saying we will be a
00:27:17big hitter and now a third and
00:27:19five from the 17 yard line.
00:27:22Danny White goes left.
00:27:23I'm on the shot right in the
00:27:24back split.
00:27:26We'll see if we can help it
00:27:29foreman trying to get around
00:27:30John.
00:27:32That was such a big trip that he
00:27:33was caught from behind and it
00:27:35was Brunig who got him again as
00:27:37he tried to go around to talk
00:27:39Jones and play like gangbusters.
00:27:41I'm telling you what you made
00:27:44strings it up this time playing
00:27:45off a block around here.
00:27:47I'm telling you what you made
00:27:48strings it up this time playing
00:27:49off a block around here.
00:27:51That's exactly the way he's
00:27:52controlled here all together.
00:27:53Just bring it to that suit.
00:27:56There'll be a break though the
00:27:59quarter ends and Dallas as they
00:28:01were with less than two into it
00:28:02leading 6 0 Minnesota as we
00:28:09start the second quarter unable
00:28:11to move the ball and so on a
00:28:13fourth and four.
00:28:14And now the 45 yard line puts
00:28:16Johnson all alone on the
00:28:18Cowboys 40 and Bush comes to
00:28:21meet it head on at midfield to
00:28:23the forty five and down he goes
00:28:25Matt Blair bringing him down
00:28:27immediately.
00:28:28So what's Johnson who by the
00:28:30way his real name is Michael
00:28:33that ought to get some airing
00:28:35and what Johnson brings a return
00:28:37back in Dallas will take over a
00:28:39four yard return on a 32 yard
00:28:41touchdown pitch six to nothing
00:28:48Dallas.
00:28:49Robert Miller fumble recovered
00:28:51by Harvey Martin a 32 yard
00:28:53touchdown pass Roger Staubach to
00:28:55Golden Richard first in 10 from
00:28:59the forty six of Minnesota
00:29:00George said in motion goes
00:29:06Newhouse pitch back to Dorset
00:29:11and he tried to get a bug around
00:29:14Nate and that took up too much
00:29:16time.
00:29:16Meanwhile a difference of
00:29:17opinion down below a problem of
00:29:20some kind down below and there
00:29:24it is a blanket evidently and
00:29:26inadvertently catching on fire
00:29:29the person and at first they
00:29:31told us a blanket.
00:29:32My goodness it's a man.
00:29:34Anything can happen in Texas.
00:29:41This is a man.
00:29:51Now by giving the door set.
00:29:52He has got to be putting a block
00:29:54on Nate Wright but he couldn't
00:29:55do it.
00:29:56And Rafferty finally pushing
00:29:58Nate around a little and they
00:29:59still able to slow him down and
00:30:00jam it up.
00:30:01Number 43 from Minnesota.
00:30:03Nate Wright ruining that play
00:30:05for the Dallas Cowboys.
00:30:08He's got to be able to get a
00:30:09block on Nate Wright ball on the
00:30:12Minnesota 44 yard line.
00:30:15The Cowboys got an early score
00:30:17and they're holding it.
00:30:18Vikings should be a tired team.
00:30:20That's what Bud Grant indicated
00:30:21the press conference.
00:30:22They had four different practice
00:30:23field the last four days and
00:30:24last seven games in the season
00:30:26within six different seasons.
00:30:27They're a weary team.
00:30:29They're going to give you a
00:30:29performance out of the shotgun
00:30:34Roger cranking up and going down
00:30:36the right side off the hand of
00:30:38Nate Wright and it was intended
00:30:40for Drew Pearson the same area
00:30:42they slipped a little while ago.
00:30:43It might be some some wet turf
00:30:45down there somehow.
00:30:48Drew Pearson going off as are
00:30:51the offensive line and the
00:30:52Cowboys and the special teams
00:30:54come in for Minnesota now
00:30:56Manfred Moore and Bob Graham go
00:30:58back along with Joe Blah.
00:31:00And Danny White will be running
00:31:02for the Cowboys just the start
00:31:05of the second quarter.
00:31:06Dallas beating Minnesota six to
00:31:08nothing.
00:31:12Mark Washington and Aaron Kyle
00:31:14are the two men to get down.
00:31:15Look out.
00:31:16Danny White is running to the
00:31:18thirty five thirty out of his
00:31:20first down Dallas as Danny White
00:31:24runs for the first down out of
00:31:26one to two.
00:31:27Danny White runs for the first
00:31:29down out of one formation.
00:31:31That's something you don't
00:31:32expect to have happen in a
00:31:33championship game to the
00:31:34Minnesota Vikings.
00:31:35It's the first time it has
00:31:37happened this year and that's
00:31:39preconceived.
00:31:40They knew what they were doing
00:31:41that time you see the convoy
00:31:42waiting for him.
00:31:43Danny White back up quarterback
00:31:44to Roger stallback a putter but
00:31:46he's an all around athlete good
00:31:47athlete.
00:31:49So Danny White runs the ball out
00:31:51of bounds inside the 30 to the
00:31:54twenty nine yard line in
00:31:55Minnesota.
00:31:56First in 10 Drew Pearson on a
00:31:59wing right along with Jay
00:32:01Foley.
00:32:02So two tight ends in the air as
00:32:04Pearson goes in motion and it's
00:32:07Dorsett big hole and dragged down
00:32:10by Prowse at the last moment or
00:32:12he's away.
00:32:14Just like Tom Landry drew it up
00:32:15in the playbook.
00:32:16Tom Rafferty 64 John Fitzgerald
00:32:1962 opening big hole that time
00:32:21good block by Newhouse and you
00:32:22see right there there's a block
00:32:24by Rafferty give him just a
00:32:27piece of daylight before he's
00:32:28brought down by Paul Kraut.
00:32:30Take a look at it now.
00:32:31Yeah that's a picture book
00:32:33there.
00:32:33Riding Southerland out there and
00:32:34cutting back against the grain
00:32:36is roughly what there is a good
00:32:39tackle a saving tackle by Paul
00:32:41Kraut first in 10 from the 16
00:32:43yard line in Minnesota and here
00:32:46goes Robert Rafferty trying to
00:32:49lead the way for him and he
00:32:50actually ran up Rafferty back
00:32:52and then spun off to the left.
00:32:53And he's going to be in the
00:32:54Newhouse having his best season
00:32:56I guess since his sophomore
00:32:57season.
00:32:59Well you might take a moment or
00:33:01two out from this ballgame and
00:33:02your prayers would certainly be
00:33:03appreciated for that poor soul
00:33:05being taken out the gentleman
00:33:07who one way or another was on
00:33:09fire as you saw the world did
00:33:11something like it had to pray
00:33:13for his second and seven from
00:33:17the Newhouse up the middle
00:33:33center John Fitzgerald tried to
00:33:35open up the hole for him.
00:33:37Ralph Neely who will retire at
00:33:39the end of the year after 13
00:33:41years.
00:33:41We look at Tom Landry.
00:33:43Neely has an old horseshoe
00:33:45nailed atop his locker.
00:33:46He's a man of ceremony.
00:33:48We understand that when he
00:33:49retires the horseshoe will go
00:33:50down and he will give it to John
00:33:52Fitzgerald the Dallas Center and
00:33:54another tradition is alive and
00:33:56down third and four from the 10
00:34:06Bob going high down the middle
00:34:08flag on the play.
00:34:10He had both got seven to play
00:34:11down there and it might be
00:34:13against Krause.
00:34:14It'll be against Krause.
00:34:16He's not a strikeout.
00:34:17That's a still the veteran Paul
00:34:25Kyle 14 years guilty and we can
00:34:29take a look at it.
00:34:30Oh crap.
00:34:31He's not in was another 79
00:34:32career interceptions that time
00:34:34to speak.
00:34:35We can't get a time.
00:34:38He has a good passing lane right
00:34:40there.
00:34:40He didn't get to see it.
00:34:41Do free is just so big and so
00:34:43physical.
00:34:44Last week he got muscle of a
00:34:45that's going to be first in goal
00:34:47from the five and the Cowboys
00:34:50leading six to nothing scored
00:34:53early in the first quarter and
00:34:55with eleven forty five in the
00:34:56second quarter trying to do it
00:34:58again.
00:34:58Jay Salty along with Dupre now
00:35:00tonight and they're Pearson on
00:35:02the wing left and it'll be
00:35:05Robert Newhouse and Newhouse go
00:35:09barreling across and the Cowboys
00:35:12have done the one thing that
00:35:13Minnesota fear they have got out
00:35:15in front and it seems almost
00:35:17impossible that Minnesota can
00:35:19come back with Rafferty and
00:35:21Donovan looking for a St.
00:35:23Patrick's Day parade open up the
00:35:24hole from behind we'll see the
00:35:26big block there Pat Donovan
00:35:28Rafferty probably the two best
00:35:29linemen in the Dallas team look
00:35:30at the determination of Newhouse
00:35:32he wants in that colored grass
00:35:34there brother so the key of
00:35:41course was that run by Danny
00:35:43White out of fun formation now
00:35:45Herrera trying to get it up and
00:35:47through and does and the Dallas
00:35:49Cowboys leading the Minnesota
00:35:51Vikings 13 to nothing we have
00:35:54eleven minutes and forty one
00:35:56seconds left to go in the second
00:35:58quarter here at Texas Stadium in
00:36:00Irving Robert Newhouse catching
00:36:04his breath after a five yard
00:36:06slung for a touchdown the Dallas
00:36:08Cowboys leading 13 to nothing
00:36:11Efron Herrera will be taking off
00:36:13Manfred Morris deep the key
00:36:17play Danny White running out of
00:36:19fun formation to pick up a first
00:36:20down inside the Minnesota 30
00:36:22that kept the drive alive and
00:36:26it'll be handled by Sammy White
00:36:29and white still going to the 40
00:36:32to the 45 before he is dragged
00:36:34down father and brown making the
00:36:39tackles Tom Landry has seen his
00:36:45Cowboys get out in front 13 to
00:36:47nothing and on the message board
00:36:50the Cowboys and Vikings and all
00:36:52Americans wishing a very happy
00:36:54new year to Senator Hubert
00:36:55Humphrey Vikings again with
00:36:58excellent field position almost
00:37:00impaired if they put something
00:37:01on the board now get back in the
00:37:02ballgame with a fine return 37
00:37:04yards by Sammy White first and
00:37:06first and 10 from the 48 white
00:37:09goes right.
00:37:10I'm on the shot left play action
00:37:12fake to Miller who stays in the
00:37:13block and Lee going high and
00:37:16deep for Sammy White.
00:37:19No good a flag on the play.
00:37:22Charlie Waters and Benny Barnes
00:37:24evidently interfering with Sammy
00:37:26White inside the 10 yard line.
00:37:29If there's any question of the
00:37:31house.
00:37:32Bobby Lee's army is looking at
00:37:34it right here.
00:37:35I don't know if you throw it a
00:37:35long way.
00:37:36I think he was looking for
00:37:37someone on the left side.
00:37:39He throws it up there.
00:37:40So tremendously high.
00:37:41Look at him coming to the
00:37:42picture yet.
00:37:44He grew from the top of the
00:37:44stadium and you can see clearly
00:37:46see the interference there on
00:37:47water.
00:37:48Sammy White had to wait for the
00:37:49ball and by that time they
00:37:51caught up to him and bumped him.
00:37:52That is the first penalty against
00:37:54Dallas.
00:37:54There has been only one penalty
00:37:56against the vice.
00:38:00So remember the Dallas Cowboys
00:38:02had a first and goal from the
00:38:03bottom of the 5 and punched it
00:38:06over.
00:38:06Now it's first and goal from the
00:38:08eighth for Minnesota at the 44
00:38:10yard game on that interference.
00:38:12White goes left with God right
00:38:14and Bob Lee trying to get the
00:38:16Vikings back in the game.
00:38:17Another fumble but Foreman
00:38:19recovered it and he just did get
00:38:22it back because Jethro Hughes
00:38:24just missed scooping it up.
00:38:27No turnovers last week at all.
00:38:28We'll see the ball pop loose
00:38:29here I believe before it stays
00:38:31in the center.
00:38:31He almost lost the bear.
00:38:32That's the problem was we never
00:38:33had a man before.
00:38:35Well we're right by Jethro Q up
00:38:37into Chuck's lap that time or
00:38:39they turn it over again.
00:38:44That's a little late for that
00:38:45now.
00:38:46It is second and goal from the
00:38:48seven it's hard to believe they
00:39:00could not have a turnover in the
00:39:03rain and mud and then handle the
00:39:05ball so loosely here today
00:39:06unless there's some kind of a
00:39:08lack of concentration.
00:39:09What it has to be in a weary
00:39:10team will make mistakes like
00:39:12that.
00:39:12They obviously are tired.
00:39:13Last week of course they ran so
00:39:15well the left side off the
00:39:16blocks of Goodrum and Steve
00:39:17Riley.
00:39:19They're doing the same thing
00:39:20today.
00:39:21Who are you going to give it to
00:39:22but a guy look at the
00:39:23determination in Chuck Foreman.
00:39:24You've got to get both his legs
00:39:26wrapped up before he's going to
00:39:27stop on third and goal from the
00:39:29fourth.
00:39:33Why.
00:39:33The shot left.
00:39:34Play action fake that foreman
00:39:36lead under a rush by Randy White
00:39:38and White decks him at the 16
00:39:41yard line.
00:39:42They lose 12 yards on the play.
00:39:45The play action fake that
00:39:47camera didn't quite understand
00:39:48what Paul.
00:39:49I don't believe anybody was
00:39:50fooled.
00:39:56Randy White just took a strong
00:39:57He's going to get better and
00:39:58better and better by the way the
00:40:00Cowboys led the conference with
00:40:0253 sacks this year though we'll
00:40:05have a field goal attempt by
00:40:07Fred Cox they'll spot it at the
00:40:1022 or 32 yard effort by Cox it
00:40:13is good for Fred Cox who will
00:40:16retire at the end of the year
00:40:17and is the second greatest
00:40:18scorer in history behind George
00:40:20Flanders gets Minnesota on the
00:40:22board with 9 57 to the hand and
00:40:2513 3 Dallas for plays 38 yards
00:40:33resulting in a 32 yard field goal
00:40:34by Fred Cox the sack by Randy
00:40:37White took all the air out of a
00:40:38possible touchdown balloon and
00:40:40now Fred Cox starts it and
00:40:42squirts one low on the ground
00:40:44picked up there by Larry
00:40:46Grinsham he's to the 30 and goes
00:40:48underneath Nate Allen at the 31
00:40:50yard line and a pretty good
00:40:52say friends we're going to be
00:40:53televised in the final rounds of
00:40:54the Grand Prix Masters in
00:40:55Madison Square Garden in New
00:40:57York in the field of eight
00:40:58headed by Guillermo Villa Jimmy
00:41:00Connors and beyond board field
00:41:02of eight chosen based on a year
00:41:03long point system that included
00:41:0576 major tournaments throughout
00:41:07the world including Wimbledon
00:41:08and the United States Open
00:41:10competing for a hundred thousand
00:41:11dollar first prize Saturday at
00:41:133 p.m. Eastern Sunday at 4
00:41:15a.m.
00:41:16The Cowboys will be in the
00:41:17conference room at the
00:41:18Saturday at 3 p.m.
00:41:19Eastern Sunday at 4 a.m.
00:41:25Guns go set and Fred McNeil hit
00:41:27him at the ankle flag on the
00:41:29play McNeil number 54 trying to
00:41:34stop door step and it'll be a
00:41:35holding ball again down 13 to
00:41:45three in favor of the Cowboys
00:41:49on these championship games you
00:41:50just can't make mistakes.
00:41:51You think about that now though
00:41:53on the front.
00:41:55We have a holding number for
00:42:01Bumble sets up his first score
00:42:03and then a fake punt that's up
00:42:04a second you just can't afford
00:42:05any mistakes in these games.
00:42:06There's a lot at stake as the
00:42:08ball is put on the Dallas 22
00:42:11first and 20.
00:42:18And there goes however Fred
00:42:22McNeil as he fumbles but Dallas
00:42:24recovers.
00:42:25Fred McNeil did a good job of
00:42:27taking the block by Fitzgerald
00:42:29and Rafferty.
00:42:30He was able to tie them up and
00:42:32on the fumble Minnesota unable
00:42:34to come up with it.
00:42:34Jim Marshall number 70 takes a
00:42:36strong inside rush you see him
00:42:37there.
00:42:38They've got him that's exactly
00:42:39what they wanted to do.
00:42:40They got Rafferty pulling right
00:42:41here.
00:42:42Dorset there's where you see the
00:42:44rookie went too far outside the
00:42:45hole was there and then he
00:42:46fumbled on in addition to that
00:42:48cover by John Fitzgerald back in
00:42:51an 18 for the Cowboys leading 14
00:42:53to three and they try to make a
00:43:03sandwich of him McNeil was the
00:43:05first man to hit him but a
00:43:08cowboy getting up pretty slow to
00:43:09them.
00:43:10That's Dorset again Dorset is
00:43:15limping on that play.
00:43:16There he goes.
00:43:19It's going to be a limp limp on
00:43:20the field not all day.
00:43:25Roger stallback probably the
00:43:26most effective thing he does and
00:43:28does it three or four times a
00:43:29game.
00:43:29But how many first downs has he
00:43:30picked up running with a
00:43:31football that added dimension.
00:43:34And just think what that many
00:43:35years ago they said the
00:43:36quarterback who runs the ball
00:43:37can't play very long.
00:43:38Well I load up the shotgun third
00:43:40and 13 from the twenty nine.
00:43:42Preston Pearson staying in the
00:43:43block.
00:43:44Stop.
00:43:45Back with a plenty of time.
00:43:47Still looking.
00:43:50Marshall can't get him but now
00:43:53he unloads and completes it the
00:43:55Golden Richards and they gang
00:43:57tackle him out of bounds.
00:43:59Jim Marshall and Starbuck in the
00:44:02backfield and Roger just did get
00:44:04away with checking the time to
00:44:06see how long he had almost
00:44:094.5 seconds and we'll add to
00:44:12that for a total of almost 10
00:44:14seconds for Roger Starbuck before
00:44:16he threw the ball 10 seconds.
00:44:18Yes sir.
00:44:19And not didn't find anybody open
00:44:20Tony Hill was about 30 yards
00:44:22behind anybody but Roger couldn't
00:44:23get it there with a can virtually
00:44:25no pass rush the Vikings have
00:44:27been troubled with that all year
00:44:28outside of L.A. they really
00:44:29haven't had a first rate pass
00:44:30rusher Alan Page is going to
00:44:31have to come alive.
00:44:33Well Danny White figures to
00:44:34find a way to get him out of the
00:44:37well Danny White figures to find
00:44:39it this time and he does and it's
00:44:42Manfred Moore backtracking to his
00:44:44own twenty four Jay salty hit him
00:44:49first number eighty seven and
00:44:52there's salty just now getting
00:44:53up.
00:44:54He hit him but a valuable player
00:44:56to the Cowboy team brother he's
00:44:58paid a price for it however you
00:45:00usually do when you come down
00:45:02there in a band like that.
00:45:07Tony Dorsett four yards a carry
00:45:10limped off the field he has had
00:45:12three pretty good shots so far
00:45:14in this game but he just nodded
00:45:15at it to say yes I'm OK.
00:45:17Meanwhile Jay salty who made
00:45:19that tackle is still down number
00:45:21eighty seven.
00:45:22They might take another look at
00:45:24Manfred Moore is trying to get
00:45:26out of the way.
00:45:27So he hit him on the left ankle
00:45:29and then the rest of the Cowboys
00:45:30came in so salty that the
00:45:31beatings and he was the bottom
00:45:33man.
00:45:33By the way we have a look at the
00:45:35by the way we have a moment to
00:45:37tell you and I'm sure you are
00:45:38concerned.
00:45:39The gentleman we saw literally
00:45:41in flames and the flames were
00:45:44smothered and he was taken out
00:45:45of the stadium.
00:45:46The preliminary report is he is
00:45:48at the hospital.
00:45:49He is coherent.
00:45:50He is not in too much pain.
00:45:53Evidently he was dressed
00:45:54something like a snowman and an
00:45:57unofficial report said a
00:45:59cigarette ash evidently set fire
00:46:02to his costume.
00:46:03So we pray for his safety.
00:46:05We pray for his recovery.
00:46:06We pray for his recovery.
00:46:08Back to J.
00:46:08So that might be a bigger injury
00:46:10than you'd know.
00:46:11He's very instrumental in some
00:46:12of the Dallas formations.
00:46:13They use him quite a bit when
00:46:14they use a double tight end
00:46:15situation not just on short
00:46:17yardage play.
00:46:18He's an offensive weapon.
00:46:19Looked like his right knee that
00:46:21was banged up on it.
00:46:22First in 10 from the 23 for the
00:46:24Vikings.
00:46:27Chuck Foreman gets across the 25
00:46:31but there's a flag on the play.
00:46:36The legal motion going against
00:46:37Minnesota to jam up the work.
00:46:39This has been basically a
00:46:41penalty free first half.
00:46:44However suddenly now the flag
00:46:45is starting to drop.
00:46:50The legal motion.
00:46:52The 44.
00:46:53Buffett.
00:46:55Chuck Foreman.
00:46:58In motion as we look at Jay
00:47:00Salty and that right knee
00:47:02bothering him.
00:47:03We'll see it.
00:47:03The Vikings have it on their own
00:47:0618 first and 15.
00:47:10Take to Robert Miller and a pass
00:47:12to Foreman coming out of the
00:47:14backfield gets across the 25 and
00:47:17is taken down there.
00:47:18So he still has plenty of yardage
00:47:19to go before a first down
00:47:21hitting him with D.D. Lewis.
00:47:23Then I think I'm right in this
00:47:24and the three games that Bob
00:47:25Lee has been quarterbacking the
00:47:27Vikings I think he's only
00:47:28completed two passes to Chuck
00:47:29Foreman.
00:47:30He's got a lot of ground.
00:47:31He's got a lot of ground.
00:47:32He's got a lot of ground.
00:47:33So he's only completed two
00:47:34passes to Chuck Foreman.
00:47:36He'd like to go up field with
00:47:37the wide receivers a whole lot
00:47:38more than say Fran Parkinson
00:47:40would be in the game.
00:47:41Yes the second reception was by
00:47:43Foreman in the mud in Los
00:47:44Angeles prior to today.
00:47:59Henderson hit him and slowed him
00:48:00to slow up a runner and Charlie
00:48:02Waters along with Randy White
00:48:04over to bring him down Miller
00:48:05a pretty good looking ball
00:48:06player it seems very limited
00:48:07playing time this year until
00:48:09McClanahan had the knee surgery
00:48:10about a week or so ago runs with
00:48:13a great deal of authority.
00:48:14Look at this good amount of
00:48:16determination.
00:48:17I like it.
00:48:18Good pass receiver to probably
00:48:19better receiver than the
00:48:20planning Bob Lee trying to move
00:48:26the bike a third down situation
00:48:29on his own 29 Tom Landry looks
00:48:30on and he needed a lot of effort
00:48:39to get that far because it
00:48:40appeared as if he was going to
00:48:41be stopped at the 30 and he
00:48:43fought his way out of get a
00:48:45first down.
00:48:46So mark that one in tribute to
00:48:48Chuck Foreman the great ball
00:48:49here somehow some way they find
00:48:51a way Chuck Foreman is one of
00:48:53those guys who just rolls when
00:48:54he's hit knows where the first
00:48:56down markers are watching this
00:48:57side there is a spinner I can
00:49:01ever get Foreman of course three
00:49:03consecutive 1000 yard years as
00:49:06we look at a bad right knee of
00:49:07Jay Sawyer looking right telling
00:49:12his man to go deeper his man is
00:49:14Sammy White and he just went out
00:49:16of bounds in pursuit of the
00:49:17ball.
00:49:19Good idea that down the sideline
00:49:21and go there and the coverage
00:49:23as a guy that can really hurt
00:49:24you right there.
00:49:26If all he does get is he gets
00:49:27some yardage that I've met a
00:49:28lot of touchdowns nine to be
00:49:29exact this year so Bob Lee and
00:49:36of course all you have to do is
00:49:37look around here and realize
00:49:39it's cowboy country they refer
00:49:42to the defense now as Doomsday
00:49:44Junior second and 10 from the
00:49:4734 13 to 3 Cowboys 5 0 8 to the
00:49:51half Chuck Foreman going outside
00:49:56a Miller block but it's banged
00:49:58up there as he got across the
00:49:59thirty five he bobbled the ball
00:50:02but evidently recovered it.
00:50:03D.D. Lewis thought he had it and
00:50:05threw it high in the air.
00:50:06D.D. Lewis came up with the
00:50:08football and D.D. was double
00:50:11dangerous but slung into the
00:50:14watch D.D. Lewis play off the
00:50:15block last week he had an
00:50:16interception and a fumble
00:50:17recovery he's been a good steady
00:50:19performer for the Cowboys you
00:50:21don't hear as much about him.
00:50:22See I strung it out that time
00:50:24the ball did come loose Harvey
00:50:26Martin holding on to his hips as
00:50:28the ball went flying and Bud
00:50:30Grant wondering about the thing
00:50:32that has haunted Minnesota all
00:50:33year turnovers and they are sure
00:50:35playing fast and loose with the
00:50:36leather in the first half.
00:50:44Third and seven from the 37 lay
00:50:47under a rush but gets it away
00:50:49and completes it.
00:50:50Ahmad Rashad and Mark Washington
00:50:52takes him out of bounds as they
00:50:54pick up the first down at the
00:50:55forty seven yard line Rashad the
00:50:58leading receiver in the National
00:50:59Football Conference this year
00:51:01with fifty one catches had two
00:51:02last week as the only wide
00:51:03receiver for the Vikings to make
00:51:05a reception last week more the
00:51:07short range only average about
00:51:09twelve yards he's got better
00:51:10speed than that.
00:51:11He's been the control receiver
00:51:12for the Vikings.
00:51:13The first Minnesota fumble has
00:51:15been the most damaging that by
00:51:17Robert Miller and of course that
00:51:19really led to the first Dallas
00:51:20touchdown.
00:51:21So it's a little closer than
00:51:22that 13 three score would
00:51:23indicate.
00:51:24Lee tried to pick up another if
00:51:26he can take one slings it and
00:51:29complete it to the tight end
00:51:30Stu Boyd.
00:51:31He's inside the thirty five yard
00:51:33line of Dallas brought down by
00:51:35Clem Harris but Stu Boyd the
00:51:38tight end making a reception.
00:51:39You had to wonder how long it
00:51:41was going to be before he went
00:51:42down the middle of the third
00:51:43inning.
00:51:43That's the way it was going to
00:51:44be.
00:51:45Stu Boyd Bob Lee is going to get
00:51:47a lot of double coverage on
00:51:48Sammy White and Martin shot a
00:51:50double both side.
00:51:51He's got to go to that middle
00:51:53area sometime.
00:51:54That's time he saw him do it.
00:51:56Do boy a good dependable
00:51:57receiver if nothing more.
00:51:59So he got it to the Dallas 34
00:52:01yard line first in 10 Minnesota.
00:52:04They started on their own.
00:52:12Both that go out and lay down
00:52:14the left side and diving catch
00:52:17and a good catch by Sammy White
00:52:19first down at the 19th Sammy
00:52:22White making a marvelous diving
00:52:24catch Sammy White with a big
00:52:26inside move that's time watching
00:52:28as he comes in toward the post
00:52:30and then back outside a little
00:52:32inside move right there.
00:52:34He gets Kyle turned all the way
00:52:36around it.
00:52:37Look at the reception here.
00:52:39Yes he was inbound.
00:52:42He tried.
00:52:43Look at it again.
00:52:45I'll believe with excellent pass
00:52:46protection that's drifting in
00:52:48there finding these passing
00:52:49races hip hip.
00:52:51Perfectly legitimate reception
00:52:53first in 10 from the Cowboy 19
00:52:55yard line.
00:52:56Sammy White on the right side
00:52:57and he's making a foreman
00:53:01throwing it away.
00:53:02Sammy White covered by Barnes
00:53:04along with Charlie Waters.
00:53:07So he just threw it out of
00:53:08bounds.
00:53:09That's not to a three twenty
00:53:10to the half second and 10 on the
00:53:1219.
00:53:13And you look at Bob Lee's
00:53:14numbers how long his arms are
00:53:16there when he puts them down and
00:53:18hang down about his knee.
00:53:21Bob Lee at one time played City
00:53:24College of San Francisco.
00:53:26Another member of that back
00:53:27field was O.J. Simpson.
00:53:29He eventually went to the
00:53:30College of Pacific.
00:53:40He's got the lead inside the
00:53:41shot.
00:53:42Bob Tucker is the tight end on
00:53:44the right side and it's a draw
00:53:46to form.
00:53:47Is that enough.
00:53:50With Harris and Bob Bruning
00:53:53played that as if they had the
00:53:54Minnesota playbook behind the
00:53:56line of credit.
00:53:57I love to watch the players play
00:53:58just about as reckless as
00:53:59anybody you want to see it so
00:54:01many times when they use that
00:54:02safety but you see him on the
00:54:03left there coming in on the
00:54:05blitz up with that little
00:54:06linebacker to both of them got
00:54:08in on the action that they just
00:54:09guessed right.
00:54:10That's what I like to see.
00:54:16So it's a third down and a long
00:54:18eleven for Bob Lee and the
00:54:20Vikings to 50 to the head 13 to
00:54:23three.
00:54:41It was two tall Jones applying
00:54:43some pressure and it would
00:54:46appear as if Charles Goodman
00:54:47number 68 fell on the ball for
00:54:50Minnesota at the 20 yard line
00:54:53and they're still having trouble
00:54:54holding on to the football.
00:54:55I can't help but believe that
00:54:56was a preconceived play.
00:54:57I think the quarterback draw was
00:54:59on that Bob Lee although he
00:55:01doesn't run very often.
00:55:02So we intend to run with it.
00:55:03But he's been in the red.
00:55:04He carried twelve times from
00:55:05minus eight yards.
00:55:07You didn't figure to see him on
00:55:08They will spot the ball at the
00:55:1027 yard line for Fred Cox.
00:55:12So he's faced with a 37 yard
00:55:14field goal when we come back to
00:55:16it.
00:55:17Time out on the field with two
00:55:19minutes left to go to the half.
00:55:20The Dallas Cowboys leading 13 to
00:55:23three.
00:55:27Fred Cox got Minnesota on the
00:55:29scoreboard taking a 32 yard
00:55:32field goal and just before the
00:55:33two minute warning he was going
00:55:35to try another.
00:55:36So on a fourth on his first
00:55:37Fred Cox will try his second
00:55:39from the Dallas fence.
00:55:40Jay Salty has a sprained knee
00:55:43unsure if he'll return.
00:55:44Tony Garcetti bruised heel.
00:55:46He will be back down at the 37
00:55:52Cox gets it up and it's good and
00:55:55Fred Cox who at one stage of his
00:55:57career kicked a field goal in 31
00:56:00consecutive games has kicked to
00:56:02the day and it is narrows it now
00:56:05Fred Cox a doctor of
00:56:07chiropractic and he will go back
00:56:10to that career once he hangs up
00:56:12his bike Charlie Waters boy he's
00:56:18popular down here.
00:56:19They like it.
00:56:22So you look at two things the
00:56:24fumble by Miller the recovery by
00:56:26Harvey Martin that led to the 32
00:56:28yard touchdown pass to go to
00:56:30the bottom of the eighth inning.
00:56:31The recovery by Harvey Martin
00:56:33that led to the 32 yard
00:56:35touchdown pass to Golden
00:56:37Richards and Danny White running
00:56:39out of fun formation for a first
00:56:41down inside the Minnesota 30.
00:56:44Those are the two big plays that
00:56:47define the difference 13 to 6.
00:56:51Fred Cox hasn't been having that
00:56:52good a year kicking the ball but
00:56:54it comes down to a field goal
00:56:55the closing minutes I know of no
00:56:56one I'd rather have kicker than
00:56:57Fred Cox Cox was 8 for 17 during
00:57:00the game and he has inspired
00:57:07Minnesota that they are anything
00:57:09but out of the game.
00:57:10They spotted the Cowboys the
00:57:12touchdown but he has kept the
00:57:14minute 13 6 and Fred kicking off
00:57:17and again a knuckleball down the
00:57:19left side and one for picked up
00:57:21by Larry Brinson and Brinson
00:57:24can't get underway as he goes
00:57:26smothered to the ground at the
00:57:28first down so the Cowboys will
00:57:33put it in play.
00:57:34Their reminder challenge of the
00:57:35sexy return Sunday January 8 at
00:57:381 p.m. Eastern exciting man

00:57:55back on along with the NBA on
00:57:57the night of the original game
00:57:59premiering the play back in.
00:58:01We'll talk about basketball a
00:58:03little later.
00:58:05Robert Newhouse Jeff Wright got
00:58:09him from behind as he got to the
00:58:1030 yard line and fell forward
00:58:15140 left to the hands 13 six
00:58:21ball on the Cowboy 31 yard line
00:58:27both teams with three timeouts
00:58:29left a second and five stop by
00:58:41getting his time frozen
00:58:42complete.
00:58:43Drew Pearson and he goes out of
00:58:45bounds just beyond the line.
00:58:47You're in and you're out one of
00:58:48the most consistent receivers in
00:58:50the National Football League is
00:58:52Drew Pearson.
00:58:53I don't think about Roger
00:58:54Stolbeck say what you want to
00:58:55about all the great quarterbacks
00:58:56with two minutes remaining but I
00:58:58think he's as good as anybody
00:58:59moving that ball against the
00:59:00clock talking about a clock.
00:59:03You remember a moment ago we put
00:59:04a stopwatch on Roger and on that
00:59:06scrambling play he had ten point
00:59:09five seconds before he got
00:59:11ready to go.
00:59:12He's got a good time.
00:59:12He's got a good time.
00:59:13He's got a good time.
00:59:13He's got a good time.
00:59:14He's got a good time.
00:59:14He's got a good time.
00:59:14He's got a good time.
00:59:15He's got a good time.
00:59:15He's got a good time.
00:59:15He's got a good time.
00:59:17It's the first and ten from the
00:59:22forty three.
00:59:24Out of the shotgun Doerr said
00:59:27staying in but he doesn't have
00:59:28anybody to block.
00:59:29Now he has Marshall to keep him
00:59:31away and the fast release to the
00:59:33tight end Billy Joe Dupree and
00:59:35Jeff Wright met him head on along
00:59:37with Jeff Seaman first down as a
00:59:43big target.
00:59:44Roger Stolbeck improvising a
00:59:46I just saw back improvising a
00:59:47little bit all the primary
00:59:48receivers are covered when that
00:59:50happens those receivers supposed
00:59:51to move around and find the open
00:59:52zones in the Minnesota primarily
00:59:54a drone team there you see
00:59:56Billy Joe do breathe a big
00:59:58target Roger goes right through
01:00:00it look at this impact here big
01:00:03old strong boy at a half time
01:00:08Phyllis Brad and Irv will be
01:00:10with us and stay right with us
01:00:12is a lot of the story of Dallas
01:00:13versus Minnesota here in Irving
01:00:15and the way we have the road I
01:00:22got lost the other night ended
01:00:23up close to it.
01:00:29We're also going to get that
01:00:30you've got lost but you're
01:00:31making good time.
01:00:34We have 53 seconds left to go
01:00:36to the half of all of the
01:00:38Minnesota 41 yard line where the
01:00:40Cowboys will put it in play
01:00:41first and 10 Dallas leading 13
01:00:44six and of course the winner goes
01:00:46to New Orleans for the Super
01:00:47Bowl against Denver Vikings have
01:00:51been the four Super Bowls I
01:00:52think Dallas three Super Bowls
01:00:54that right.
01:00:54I mean Minnesota of course all
01:00:58for four first and 10 Starbucks
01:01:04has 53 seconds and they load up
01:01:06the shotgun again.
01:01:10Your set backs off the block for
01:01:12the first time along with
01:01:14Preston Pearson and a big rush
01:01:17put on by Alan Page and Page
01:01:20gesturing to Starbuck and Matt
01:01:22Blair comes over to say
01:01:24something to Starbuck though
01:01:26we'll wait for the officials
01:01:27call intentionally crowding the
01:01:30football perhaps they were
01:01:34trying to hit Tony Dorsett that
01:01:35time coming late pattern coming
01:01:37out of backfield.
01:01:39I believe it was.
01:01:40Let's see Matt Blair had the
01:01:41time didn't fool anybody at all.
01:01:43Roger just took the safe way out
01:01:45cost him some yardage at that
01:01:46level.
01:01:57Well it comes as no surprise to
01:01:59you that they don't like the
01:02:00call here in Dallas.
01:02:02Here's Alan Page breathing out
01:02:04his neck.
01:02:05Roger said I better unload my
01:02:06shotgun about right now.
01:02:07He just got it over Matt Blair's
01:02:09head.
01:02:10He hit the ground.
01:02:11So that puts it back on the 44
01:02:13yard line of Dallas where it is
01:02:15second and twenty five.
01:02:18Butch Johnson is wide right.
01:02:20Drew Pearson left.
01:02:23Here comes Matt Blair.
01:02:24But the throw is the question.
01:02:26Pearson.
01:02:27He said a forty five to the 40
01:02:29to the 30.
01:02:31Wally Hildenburg brought him
01:02:33down inside the 25 yard line.
01:02:36Dallas asking for timeout.
01:02:38Thirty eight seconds to the
01:02:40timeout.
01:02:40Here's Alan Page again.
01:02:42Preston Pearson as you all know
01:02:44one of the better receivers
01:02:45coming out of the backfield in
01:02:46all of football.
01:02:47Roger Stolbach reaching in the
01:02:48bag and coming up with a little
01:02:49trick play.
01:02:50The old jump pass watch almost
01:02:52all the linemen outrun Preston
01:02:54this is his last year.
01:02:55Hadn't run for two weeks until
01:02:56yesterday.
01:02:58Hadn't heard him too awful much.
01:02:59Look at that Dallas precision
01:03:00when they do execute their thing
01:03:02of beauty.
01:03:03Forty two yards.
01:03:04Preston Pearson bumped into Pat
01:03:06Donovan and that gave Wally
01:03:08Hildenburg dragging him down
01:03:10from behind at the Minnesota 24
01:03:12yard line.
01:03:13The timeout a reminder.

01:03:54The beauty and the beast.
01:03:57Oh there are some lovers to
01:03:59Dallas Texas.
01:04:03First in 10.
01:04:04As the Cowboys have moved it to
01:04:06the Minnesota 24 yard line 38
01:04:08seconds to the half.
01:04:15Roger Starbucks.
01:04:17And golden Richard in a slot
01:04:18inside Drew Pearson he has

01:04:29Roger looking down the left side
01:04:31and going to Richard.
01:04:34No good.
01:04:36Golden Richard had already left
01:04:37the end zone when he made the
01:04:39reception down there with him
01:04:41was Nate Wright and Paul
01:04:43Prowse the Richard who scored a
01:04:45touchdown on a 32 yard pass and
01:04:48Starbuck this time simply ran
01:04:50out of real estate.
01:04:50If we can see his pattern it's
01:04:52an in and out pattern designed
01:04:54to go right where it was thrown.
01:04:55Roger Starbuck could not throw
01:04:56it much better than this.
01:04:58Was there any chance at all of
01:04:59him keeping his feet in the
01:05:00bounds.
01:05:00Let's see.
01:05:01Yes there probably was.
01:05:03Raymond Barry could have Raymond
01:05:05Barry could have.
01:05:09Those second and 10 on the 24
01:05:1132 seconds to the half 13 to 6
01:05:14gallon.
01:05:17Johnson in a slot left Dorset on
01:05:20the wing left and now he and
01:05:22Pearson come back again the
01:05:23block.
01:05:28Starbuck looking left.
01:05:31And as a flag on the play as he
01:05:33throws to Billy Joe Duprey out
01:05:35of his hand and he took a lick
01:05:37from Nate Wright but a flag on
01:05:39the play flag hit Herbert Scott
01:05:40on the back so I would assume
01:05:42Herbert Scott was guilty of
01:05:43hope.
01:05:50Once again I mean that.
01:05:53Well we'll see.
01:06:02I'm curious to see what this is
01:06:03going to be.
01:06:05It's going to be against
01:06:06Minnesota.
01:06:19Is it ever.
01:06:24To the 12 yard line.
01:06:26Let's listen.
01:06:32First of all head slapping
01:06:35number 77.
01:06:38Well you heard it the
01:06:39identification would be young
01:06:41Mark Mulaney who is guilty of
01:06:42the head slap seeing more and
01:06:45more playing time in there for
01:06:46Jim Marshall and passing
01:06:47situation.
01:06:50The first and 10 from the 12
01:06:52yard line 24 seconds to the
01:06:54half.
01:06:56Pearson and Dorset back of
01:06:58Roger Starbuck.
01:07:01Roger over the middle of the
01:07:03press and Pearson and he's
01:07:04inside the five yard line.
01:07:07Jeff Seaman and Fred McNeil
01:07:08bring him down clock running as
01:07:11you see.
01:07:15And now they call time out.
01:07:18Let's take another look at that
01:07:20play in slow motion.
01:07:21So many times you've seen
01:07:22Preston Pearson come out of the
01:07:23backfield.
01:07:24Everybody knows they're going to
01:07:25throw to him but he has a way of
01:07:26getting open between the work
01:07:27and between the linebackers
01:07:28there's none any better.
01:07:30The linebacker play of Minnesota
01:07:31Vikings two fine linebackers and
01:07:34McNeil.
01:07:35Would you be having that time
01:07:36with me.
01:07:37Jeff Seaman Seaman.
01:07:38Yeah.
01:07:42So nine seconds to the half as
01:07:45Tom Landry huddles with his team
01:07:47Dallas by taking this time out
01:07:50as expended their three.
01:07:52It is 13 to 6 Dallas Minnesota
01:07:55needed a left and the left they
01:07:57have gotten to field goal from
01:07:59Fred Cox.
01:08:01Cowboys scored on a 32 yard pass
01:08:03to Golden Richards and a five
01:08:05yard run for a touchdown by
01:08:07Robert Newhouse.
01:08:08Should they choose to go for one
01:08:10more play rather than take the
01:08:11field goal they can get
01:08:13themselves in some trouble.
01:08:14Should Roger Staubach be sacked
01:08:15and not come away with nothing
01:08:16at all.
01:08:18Well they are not going to go
01:08:19for the field goal unless from
01:08:20the looks of things.
01:08:21Roger having talked to Tom
01:08:22Landry Jeff Seaman meanwhile came
01:08:25over to talk to Bud Grant Wiley
01:08:28and Jim Marshall standing on the
01:08:30side you see Jeff Seaman in the
01:08:31right hand corner going back.
01:08:33So he's carrying the defensive
01:08:34story for the Minnesota Vikings.
01:08:36Seaman out of Stanford and plagued
01:08:40by injuries all year.
01:08:42That well the plan.
01:08:43Well several games I saw a place
01:08:44in the ball and it was good
01:08:46looking looking for Minnesota by
01:08:47the way it was third against the
01:08:49past though we'll see.
01:08:53Second to the four yard line.
01:08:59Roger looking left has a great
01:09:01time and throws it over the head
01:09:02at Drew Pearson with Bobby Bryant
01:09:05right there with him.
01:09:07Well that didn't take long.
01:09:08We got five seconds.
01:09:11Roger obviously disappointed that
01:09:14what a determined individual he
01:09:15is rather.
01:09:18Efren Herrera will be asked to
01:09:20kick the field goal.
01:09:22He kicked three against Chicago
01:09:24for an NFC record tying French
01:09:27and Knight and David Ray and
01:09:30Herrera in field goals 18 for
01:09:32twenty nine his longest fifty
01:09:35two yards and the kid from
01:09:37Guadalajara kicks it through so
01:09:40the Cowboys do not walk away
01:09:42empty handed with three seconds
01:09:44to go in the half put a little
01:09:47taco sauce on that one is Cowboy
01:09:4916 and the Vikings 6 Efren
01:10:00Herrera out of UCLA.
01:10:03So he has one Fred Cox has two
01:10:06and it could very well still
01:10:07come down to a battle of the
01:10:09kicking game.
01:10:12The big thing for Minnesota at
01:10:14this stage they have to convince
01:10:15themselves that they can hold on
01:10:17to the football because
01:10:18turnover's have been a most
01:10:20important part of this first
01:10:21half Herrera will be kicking
01:10:24Manfred Moore is the deep man
01:10:26Robert Miller is short on his
01:10:27left Sammy White to his right
01:10:29and we'll see whether Herrera
01:10:32gives Manfred Moore a chance to
01:10:34return it 16 to 6 in favor of
01:10:41Dallas here in the first half
01:10:45and Herrera bangs it up the
01:10:46middle and it's fielded there by
01:10:48Mark Keller he's to the 40 yard
01:10:50line and down he goes Brown and
01:10:52Hickman along with Aaron Kyle
01:10:54the three Cowboys will wrestle
01:10:56him down and a half his history
01:10:58so the Dallas Cowboys leading
01:11:01the Vikings by 10 as they go to
01:11:04the clubhouse Dallas 16 the
