00:00:00The preceding announcement was

00:00:01brought to you as a public

00:00:02service by the National

00:00:03Football League and two of the

00:00:06outstanding members of the

00:00:07National Football League the

00:00:09Dallas Cowboys Minnesota Vikings

00:00:12locked in the kind of battle we

00:00:13expected Minnesota leading seven

00:00:15three talking has been

00:00:17intercepted twice but sort of an

00:00:20incredible first half and you

00:00:21think about it nine for 19 for

00:00:22one hundred and twenty four

00:00:23yards and he's very close to

00:00:25forty two thousand for the

00:00:26career and he's got a lot of

00:00:28close to forty two thousand for

00:00:29the career stallback six for ten

00:00:31for sixty three again he

00:00:33overthrew the touchdown pass

00:00:35that you know Roger will not do

00:00:37and of course he's sound and

00:00:38he's very healthy and I don't

00:00:41know I would imagine the second

00:00:42half we might see a lot of

00:00:43points for two good defensive

00:00:45teams to probe around the first

00:00:47half and find out what will and

00:00:48what won't go and I think they

00:00:49have probably done it the

00:00:51coaching staffs of these teams

00:00:52are not guessing they know

00:00:53exactly what will and what will

00:00:55not work the bright sunshine is

00:01:00out on a warm humid day even

00:01:06grants assistant coaches run now

00:01:10they've stopped he stopped

00:01:24team right there Tom Landry's

00:01:26had his chance to speak with his

00:01:28group and but grant with his at

00:01:32fifty four in the middle of your

00:01:33field is Randy White in the

00:01:35middle of your screen he takes

00:01:36up almost the whole field

00:01:38somebody was laughing before the

00:01:39game one of the Cowboys and said

00:01:41he went over and stood on on the

00:01:43infield and killed the grass

00:01:44over there he is up just taking

00:01:47exercises there he is flattened

00:01:51the mound all he wants to do is

00:01:54play football as well as he

00:01:56possibly can and that's his

00:01:57driving ambition and he's doing

00:02:00a pretty good job of it Red

00:02:01Cox Minnesota kicker Butch

00:02:04Johnson and the rookie from

00:02:06Florida Larry Brinson back deep

00:02:12Dallas Red Cox how many times

00:02:16you think he's done this it's

00:02:22going to be Brinson bumbles it

00:02:24up Johnson picks it up flag goes

00:02:28down about the 30 yard line as

00:02:29Johnson struggles out to about

00:02:31the 20 where he stopped by Phil

00:02:32Wise the Vikings got in a trade

00:02:36with the Jets holding on the

00:02:43Dallas Cowboys holding penalty

00:02:44against Dallas the referee again

00:02:47is Pat Haggerty Haggerty is

00:02:53walking in the striped shirt

00:02:57walking things off and walking

00:02:59back to the 10 yard line let's

00:03:00see it was only number 57 on the

00:03:07run back 57 is Bruce Hunter you

00:03:12imagine if they'd have that when

00:03:13we were all playing but holding

00:03:15or talking telling people who

00:03:18did it that's embarrassing Oh

00:03:23first and 10 at the 11 yard line

00:03:25the opening play of the second

00:03:27half running backs are new

00:03:29housing and Pearson and this is

00:03:30Pearson Preston Pearson struggles

00:03:34out to about the 13 where Fred

00:03:35McNeil who has replaced Wally

00:03:38Hildenberg and that Minnesota

00:03:39defense makes the tackle Pearson

00:03:41has 38 yards rushing on seven

00:03:43carries about the most effective

00:03:46Dallas rusher against this team

00:03:48again these linebackers for the

00:03:49Vikings the secondary those guys

00:03:52are going to be another game but

00:03:54the linebackers McNeil and and

00:03:57Seaman and Blair are extremely

00:03:59fast and that Viking defense is

00:04:01a very very quick one Dallas has

00:04:05a second and eight situation now

00:04:08people minutes of play left

00:04:11third quarter Starbucks new

00:04:14house had it juggled it and went

00:04:16out of bounds juggling and

00:04:18bangs himself in the head with

00:04:19the ball because he juggled

00:04:22and a good fake here by Roger

00:04:24again he gets outside of Marshall

00:04:26you can see the linebackers and

00:04:28everybody going back to cover he

00:04:30just does get the ball off before

00:04:32he gets near the line of scrimmage

00:04:33but they were checking him

00:04:35simply an INC that's all pretty

00:04:38good effort though by new house

00:04:42just didn't quite get it down in

00:04:43time so it'll be third down

00:04:45Dallas that's what they've done

00:04:49when they face this situation

00:04:50Dallas has been able to convert

00:04:52it two out of seven times

00:04:54Minnesota two out of six right

00:04:55now it's third and eight

00:04:59Starbucks got away from page and

00:05:03I throw an out of bounds which

00:05:06Johnson was the guy who was

00:05:07close and there's a flag down

00:05:10Starbucks is down back in the

00:05:11end zone Sutherland is really

00:05:14mad because he gave Roger

00:05:16Starbuck a heck of a shot back

00:05:17in the end zone and Roger being

00:05:19the great athlete just balances

00:05:20outside now watch this he's

00:05:22trying to screen left and they've

00:05:24tied up the screen and there's

00:05:25the shot by Sutherland very smart

00:05:28play here and notice how Butch

00:05:29Johnson tried to make it look

00:05:30good there was an illegal

00:05:34receiver down field the Vikings

00:05:37already having Dallas pinned down

00:05:39close to their own end zone have

00:05:41chosen to use up that down so

00:05:43it'll be fourth down Cowboys and

00:05:44eight at their own 13 they must

00:05:48have been downfield offense

00:05:51decline fourth down that happens

00:05:55on the screen though when it

00:05:56doesn't develop right away

00:05:57because the linemen hold a

00:05:58couple of counts and then go

00:05:59ahead and move Minnesota being a

00:06:02veteran defensive team was able

00:06:03to read screen in a hurry and

00:06:05tied up Danny White standing in

00:06:07his own end zone not trying to

00:06:09block it white gets off a good

00:06:11check Bob Graham drops it leave

00:06:16the Vikings got it back Dallas

00:06:17in but the Vikings got it back

00:06:20at their own forty five Bob

00:06:22Graham looking up into what is

00:06:24a very difficult son right now

00:06:27couldn't find a handle but

00:06:28Patrick and you watch this

00:06:30replay and you'll see it all a

00:06:32veteran team looks for the

00:06:33fumbles when you're when you're

00:06:35young and you're inexperienced

00:06:36and you're you know you're

00:06:38bushy tailed you just run around

00:06:39banging people and you don't

00:06:40fall in the fumble.

00:07:38Before you see the color the

00:07:40color track system grabs it

00:07:41aligns it defines it sharpens it

00:07:43tones it and locks the color on

00:07:45the color track RCA is making

00:07:47television better and better.

00:07:52The Trenton 150 next Saturday on

00:07:54the CBS Sports Spectacular it'll

00:07:56be televised live from the

00:07:58Trenton International Speedway.

00:08:00Mario Andretti Tom Snaver Gordon

00:08:04Johncock Janet Guthrie and

00:08:07Allen's all competing all in one

00:08:12and live Foreman straight ahead

00:08:16inside Dallas territory to the

00:08:17forty seven yard line stopped by

00:08:20Randy White right off Mick

00:08:22Tingle half number fifty three.

00:08:24By the way he is playing in his

00:08:25two hundred and eleven

00:08:27consecutive football game which

00:08:29breaks Jim Otto's record the

00:08:31great Oakland Raiders doubled

00:08:32zero but fifty three has been in

00:08:34their two hundred and eleven

00:08:35straight contest.

00:08:36Mick has even given up the high

00:08:37top shoes looks five years

00:08:40younger.

00:08:40Look at that.

00:08:41He's got the racy jobs on second

00:08:46down for McClanahan looking for

00:08:50a place to go.

00:08:51He probably won't pick it up and

00:08:52get the Minnesota first down

00:08:55Benny Barnes got Foreman down

00:08:59like it was supposed to happen

00:09:00though.

00:09:01It's almost an exchange the way

00:09:03they fumble it to one another.

00:09:06Gosh would you ever forget that

00:09:07Thanksgiving Day game in the

00:09:08first down Minnesota.

00:09:10He's got a good throw and

00:09:13Miller picked up a phone

00:09:14fumble and run it down the field

00:09:16and fired a lateral about 30

00:09:17yards across the field to one of

00:09:20the other defensive linemen like

00:09:22they've been working on it

00:09:22forever.

00:09:25First down Minnesota the 42 yard

00:09:26line of Dallas first can

00:09:31Foreman steps out of a couple

00:09:36of the way he makes the corner

00:09:38much less make it a yardage and

00:09:41I'll be darned if he didn't do

00:09:42it and you're right at 2 0 6 he

00:09:44is even quicker and he always

00:09:45used to be able to put his legs

00:09:46in one direction and a body in

00:09:48the other.

00:09:49You think this guy wouldn't be a

00:09:49heck of a skier at Baylor Sun

00:09:52Valley.

00:09:52Watch him get over to the

00:09:53sideline.

00:09:53Didi gets one shot and didi

00:09:54Lewis nobody keeps their balance

00:09:57and runs that thing like that.

00:10:00Good blocking effort by Bob

00:10:02Graham who has replaced a moderate

00:10:04shot taken up on the first play

00:10:07of the game.

00:10:08Second three situations

00:10:10targeted base to McClanahan and

00:10:12goes to McClanahan under throw.

00:10:15He was open.

00:10:21Well Roger had one and now Fran

00:10:24has one watch number 10 thanks

00:10:26to the strong side of the

00:10:27formation it just goes back to

00:10:30his back that left the backfield

00:10:32and simply doesn't throw cork.

00:10:33Incredible.

00:10:36So it'll be a third down

00:10:38situation for Minnesota Sammy

00:10:40White is one wide receiver number

00:10:4285 the other is Bob Graham.

00:10:44It is third and three.

00:10:54They operate from the Dallas 35.

00:11:02He had forever.

00:11:03He had forever.

00:11:06Good boy.

00:11:08To the 11th.

00:11:17All right.

00:11:17Watch this.

00:11:18He's actually trying to hit Chuck

00:11:19Foreman who goes to the right

00:11:20side of your picture and Harvey

00:11:22Martin grabbed him and strangled

00:11:23him and now Fran finds nobody.

00:11:26Oh he forgot about his tight end.

00:11:28He'll find boy as you said that

00:11:30he came out of the ground.

00:11:32And there he is.

00:11:33Missed tackle by Tom Henderson

00:11:35and now there's a race and

00:11:36Cliff Harris will come into this

00:11:38picture very quickly and put the

00:11:39clamps on first and 10 for

00:11:44Minnesota at the Cowboy 11.

00:11:47They already lead 7 to 3.

00:11:55Chuck Foreman inside the 10

00:11:56stopped by Jethro Pugh.

00:11:58Stu Voight has caught four

00:12:00strikes already for a total of

00:12:0364 yards.

00:12:06He doesn't look like much but he

00:12:07sure gets it done when friends

00:12:09in trouble he looks for him too

00:12:11doesn't he.

00:12:11Yes he does.

00:12:13And usually finds him.

00:12:16Here's a drive that looked like

00:12:17it had no chance and they're

00:12:19knocking and this would be a big

00:12:21touchdown.

00:12:23Sammy White puts wide to the

00:12:24left.

00:12:26To the right second down and

00:12:28he's going to get it back.

00:12:34Parkington looking for why it

00:12:36was batted down too tall Jones I

00:12:42believe is the guy who got the

00:12:44big man on it.

00:12:44Let's see if they run a stunt

00:12:46they do they bring the defensive

00:12:47ends up the middle and too tall

00:12:49at 6 9 to 70.

00:12:53Well it's like throwing it over

00:12:53an office building came out

00:12:57sideways.

00:12:58And the ball just bounces there.

00:13:02Tom Landry.

00:13:05That was a motion from Landry.

00:13:07Yep.

00:13:08Check in real grass.

00:13:11At the eight yard line.

00:13:14It is third down and seven.

00:13:19Again plenty of time for

00:13:20Parkington.

00:13:22And the chase was on a target

00:13:23that goes down.

00:13:25Harvey Martin.

00:13:27Landry.

00:13:28And Nolan Richards.

00:13:30Both yelling encouragement.

00:13:32And I mean Harvey Martin comes a

00:13:33long way again.

00:13:34Fran had a lot of time.

00:13:36The Vikings are really given.

00:13:39Friend of protection.

00:13:40Foreman was covered down the

00:13:42middle here comes why.

00:13:42Look at this effort.

00:13:45That'll be on the radio program

00:13:46in Dallas I'm sure on Monday

00:13:48morning.

00:13:52The report on Ahmad Rashad is

00:13:54that he was knocked out on that

00:13:55first play.

00:13:56And the only reason.

00:13:58That he will not play anymore

00:13:59today is staying in the locker

00:14:01room in fact.

00:14:02Brett Cox and Paul Krause at the

00:14:03thirty one.

00:14:04It'll be a 41 yard attempt.

00:14:07No good.

00:14:09Why to the right by Cox and

00:14:11Dallas will take it over at that

00:14:12line of scrimmage.

00:14:14How big.

00:14:15How big was the pass rush by

00:14:17Harvey Martin.

00:14:18They don't get three they don't

00:14:19get seven.

00:14:21Minnesota gets that.

00:14:22Was a factor.

00:14:24In a big one.

00:14:26Dawn launch.

00:14:27Sea of Japan.

00:14:45Navy.

00:14:46See a recruit or call toll

00:14:48free.

00:14:51It's not just a job.

00:14:53It's an adventure.

00:14:55To make it in this business you

00:14:56got to stay one step ahead of

00:14:57everybody else.

00:14:58So I've got something nobody

00:14:59else has.

00:15:01So don't go as penny pinching

00:15:02pump.

00:15:03It could save you money on

00:15:04quality gas like my one ninety

00:15:06gas that's made to sell below my

00:15:07regular.

00:15:09And most cars that run on

00:15:10regular can use it.

00:15:12Hey.

00:15:13If I don't want you to pass me

00:15:14by I got to give you a price you

00:15:15can't pass up.

00:15:17So no goes penny pinching pump

00:15:19and fill up your tank for less.

00:15:20That's my line of scrimmage.

00:15:22I'm going to give you a price

00:15:23you can't pass up your tank for

00:15:24less.

00:15:25That's my way of being very

00:15:26friendly.

00:15:32By Fred Cox was from 41 yards

00:15:34out.

00:15:36So it's still Minnesota seven

00:15:38Dallas three.

00:15:39The Cowboys take it over at

00:15:41their own twenty four.

00:15:42There's Bud Grant.

00:15:44And of course Fran Tarkin and

00:15:46standing by.

00:15:48Like they're doing Saturday

00:15:49night live.

00:15:53Pearson Newhouse the running

00:15:54backs behind Starbuck drew

00:15:56Pearson in motion and he ended

00:15:59around him and he circled around

00:16:00behind Carl Eller gets away from

00:16:03a couple and look at that.

00:16:05Well what an athlete he is.

00:16:08Carl Ellers Carl Ellers walking

00:16:10around like where was everybody.

00:16:11Eller couldn't have played it

00:16:13better look at it.

00:16:13Number 81 says that's about as

00:16:15good as I can play it.

00:16:17Came across set up cut off the

00:16:18reverse completely.

00:16:20How did Pearson make yardage on

00:16:22that.

00:16:22He did it all on his own.

00:16:24James White number 72 comes in.

00:16:27And Doug Southerland goes out.

00:16:30The Minnesota front four then

00:16:32has.

00:16:32White Eller.

00:16:34Marshall.

00:16:34A.

00:16:37House enough for a first down by

00:16:39Drew Pearson.

00:16:40Ball of the Minnesota thirty five

00:16:42now.

00:16:44Straight ahead Newhouse.

00:16:46Met by Seaman and the rest.

00:16:48And got nothing.

00:16:49Big James White was just put in

00:16:51there in place of Southerland.

00:16:54Dern Grant knows that.

00:16:57I don't believe there's really

00:16:58anybody on the other end of the

00:16:59headset.

00:17:00He's only got six other coaches

00:17:02and you know they've been with

00:17:03him right from the start.

00:17:04Most of them are.

00:17:05About eighty nine year veterans

00:17:06with him to Johnny Michaels.

00:17:08Neil Armstrong.

00:17:10Jerry Burns and Bunch.

00:17:13Just low key but they do a

00:17:14pretty good job.

00:17:16One yard pick up by Newhouse and

00:17:17Starbucks goes deep.

00:17:20For Dupree he got it.

00:17:23In Minnesota territory Billy Joe

00:17:26Dupree the big tight end at the

00:17:2840.

00:17:29The reason this works for Roger

00:17:30and you're right behind the

00:17:31Dallas quarterback right now is

00:17:33because his tight end Billy Joe

00:17:34gets great depth.

00:17:36He got beyond the linebackers

00:17:37and the under part of the zone.

00:17:39You can see how much depth they

00:17:40got.

00:17:41So that Bryant and of course he's

00:17:43five foot ten and a half or 11

00:17:45anyway had no chance to.

00:17:47To keep what happened from

00:17:48happening.

00:17:50But Grant and that young man

00:17:51kneeling there.

00:17:52To Grant's right.

00:17:56From right.

00:17:58Here a pair of target and job I

00:18:00guess you'd have to say.

00:18:02That's a great college last year

00:18:04on first down Starbucks will

00:18:05grow.

00:18:10At the 50.

00:18:12Games white Alan Page and Jim

00:18:15Marshall.

00:18:17Meet at the quarterback.

00:18:18I.

00:18:19Drew Pearson was running a

00:18:20pattern to the right side of

00:18:21your screen up and he drew.

00:18:24Two safety men in a cornerback.

00:18:26So Golden Richards are Butch

00:18:28Johnson looks like he's open but

00:18:30Roger thought he was going to

00:18:30get that ball deflected out of

00:18:32his hand.

00:18:36Second and 19 situation coming

00:18:38up now.

00:18:40Tom Landry.

00:18:48And.

00:18:48Roger's.

00:18:49Thought by.

00:18:53Outside new house.

00:18:57That Blair right with it a new

00:18:58house couldn't hang it.

00:19:01Talk about a game of inches

00:19:02though what an effort by a new

00:19:03house who has made some of the

00:19:05most incredible incompletions

00:19:07we've seen now watch this Roger

00:19:09has to throw it in a hurry.

00:19:10Carl Ehlers breathing right down

00:19:12his pants look at this effort by

00:19:13new house.

00:19:15You think these teams aren't

00:19:16full out today preseason is

00:19:17definitely over.

00:19:18Now it's a game of inches.

00:19:19It's a game of inches.

00:19:22Out goes white.

00:19:24Third down.

00:19:2719 yards to go an extra

00:19:28defensive back comes in.

00:19:32Baltimore Minnesota forty nine

00:19:33yard line.

00:19:35Seven minutes forty three

00:19:36seconds up third period

00:19:37Minnesota seven Dallas three.

00:19:39And they're in that thirty four.

00:19:41Three men down.

00:19:42Three men to run.

00:19:44Salvi goes in motion.

00:19:45Low snap again.

00:19:48Drew Pearson nothing doing.

00:19:51Coverage by Nate Wright.

00:19:53Was excellent.

00:19:56Roger and that whole outfit

00:19:58sagged a little bit on that

00:19:59series and the crowd here is

00:20:01telling the Vikings what they

00:20:02think they love it.

00:20:07The last time Minnesota lost as

00:20:09a matter of fact on this field

00:20:11was in the playoffs two years

00:20:13ago on a spectacular catch by

00:20:18Drew Pearson.

00:20:19Which.

00:20:19But Grant and group still claim

00:20:21was illegal.

00:20:24Danny White.

00:20:27Right away with this one.

00:20:29Bob Grimm up with a hand at the

00:20:30seven.

00:20:32Clear catch there and he juggled

00:20:33it just a bit.

00:20:34So a lot of that hog bladder

00:20:36again.

00:20:36Sir.

00:20:40Stalbach by the way on the day

00:20:42is seven out of 15 for 86 yards.

00:20:45Frank Tarkin that is 10 out of

00:20:46two for 148 yards.

00:20:49Minnesota leads the Cowboys

00:20:51seven to three.

00:21:53Ford means business in big

00:21:59Minnesota has the football of

00:22:01their own five yard line first

00:22:02and 10 last time he was down

00:22:05deep Fran came out throwing all

00:22:06over the place.

00:22:15Miller meets opposition quickly.

00:22:17Thomas Henderson led the charge.

00:22:19Let's check what happened

00:22:20earlier in the day in the event

00:22:21you might have missed in

00:22:22Atlanta upset Los Angeles 17 to

00:22:256 Philadelphia.

00:22:27All these are finals by the way

00:22:29Philadelphia over Tampa Bay 13

00:22:30to 3.

00:22:32The Giants upset Washington 20

00:22:33to 17.

00:22:36Cleveland I guess you'd call

00:22:37this an upset when you're Tom

00:22:3813 to 3 over Cincinnati and an

00:22:40emphatic one too.

00:22:42And New England with a struggle

00:22:43over Kansas City 21 to 17.

00:22:46Miami 13 Buffalo nothing shut

00:22:48out.

00:22:51Miller comes in motion for the

00:22:52Vikings on second and eighth

00:22:54time in the drop zone throws

00:22:56deep a flag is down the passes

00:22:58and is complete.

00:23:01Bob Brunig tackled Bob Grimm but

00:23:03the flag is down Riley was

00:23:05holding Harvey Martin Harvey

00:23:07Martin took a big rush from the

00:23:08right defensive end spot and the

00:23:11big offensive tackle I believe

00:23:12just had to grab him and hold on

00:23:15while we're waiting.

00:23:16This also a final score the

00:23:18Bears under Jack party 30 or 20

00:23:20over Detroit and Green Bay over

00:23:23New Orleans 24 to 20 and that's

00:23:27a rundown of all the final

00:23:28scores that we have.

00:23:29There are a couple other games

00:23:30still in progress other than

00:23:31this one and let's see what the

00:23:33situation is here and what

00:23:35Hagerty what this is going to

00:23:36lead up to is going to be now a

00:23:39blocked punt or now a fumble

00:23:41snap or something is going to

00:23:42become more important as we're

00:23:43into this second half the number

00:23:45of offensive plays you have are

00:23:47going to sort of be limited.

00:23:48Now you want the breaks.

00:23:49Let's listen.

00:23:51Holding 78.

00:23:53Offense 78 is Steve Riley who is

00:23:58blocking on Harvey Martin third

00:24:00quarter score now Baltimore over

00:24:02Seattle 16 to 7 but it doesn't

00:24:04sound like that's too easy

00:24:05either does it.

00:24:06Never is with the terror he

00:24:07might be playing Jack might be

00:24:08out there with the Seattle

00:24:11Houston over the Jets 7 nothing

00:24:13at the halftime score.

00:24:16Parking it back in his own

00:24:17infirmary looking for Sammy

00:24:19White by Chuck Foreman another

00:24:21flag is down Foreman still

00:24:23struggling trying to get off the

00:24:25dirt where he can get some good

00:24:26traction.

00:24:28Thomas Henderson again in part

00:24:29of the wrestling match trying to

00:24:31get Foreman down Foreman had

00:24:33hooked up in there.

00:24:35It's going to be pushing against

00:24:37Minnesota which meant that

00:24:39Foreman was probably protecting

00:24:41himself against the linebacker

00:24:42and the guy that you see the

00:24:45palms of the hands of when he

00:24:46shoves off gets called.

00:24:48Brandon going to like that one a

00:24:49bit.

00:24:51Tell you I wondered why he was

00:24:52so open right around second base

00:24:56you see a lot of people get very

00:24:58nervous.

00:24:58Let's listen to Pat Haggerty

00:24:59first.

00:25:02Three three.

00:25:03Buffett called against Du Bois.

00:25:07So the phantom strikes again.

00:25:12Denver and St. Louis the

00:25:13Broncos leading seven nothing

00:25:15third period that's supposed to

00:25:17be the biggest crowd ever to

00:25:19witness a sporting event in your

00:25:20state.

00:25:21Seventy five thousand and Denver

00:25:22has a defense that is wrestling

00:25:24it's really fierce at the half

00:25:29Oakland 17 San Diego nothing

00:25:32Raiders have three shutouts

00:25:33preseason second and 14 in the

00:25:38end zone doesn't bother this

00:25:39guy out of bounds Fran talking

00:25:43and goes at about the 10 yard

00:25:45line.

00:25:47Mel Renfro that's the reason

00:25:50number 10 so healthy that have

00:25:52been in Canadian football he

00:25:53might have scored.

00:25:59Got back a few precious yards

00:26:00eight in fact and it'll make it

00:26:02third and six now six thirty

00:26:04seven left in the third period

00:26:06Minnesota seven Dallas three if

00:26:08he ever wanted a third down

00:26:10conversion this is it because

00:26:11Neil Clabo right now isn't even

00:26:13breathing and keep in mind that

00:26:15if they do have to put the

00:26:17Cowboys particularly Charlie

00:26:18Waters have come very close to

00:26:21blocking a couple of punts so

00:26:24Fran talking to now all right at

00:26:27the 10 yard line third and six

00:26:31like a blitz might be coming

00:26:34dark and unload right down the

00:26:36middle getting away from the

00:26:37blitz he did to Veronica's to

00:26:40get the ball out of there I

00:26:45believe it's going to be

00:26:46roughing the passer against

00:26:47Dallas Parkinson fired down the

00:26:51middle just at the last second

00:26:55it's a pretty tough call I

00:26:57believe it's Kyle that moved in

00:26:58quickly to make the to make the

00:27:01blitz it's going to be an

00:27:02automatic first down to that

00:27:04was a big one at the twenty five

00:27:06they'll bring it let's see who

00:27:07did it personal foul dropping a

00:27:13passer number fifty four defense

00:27:17first down I got to argue a

00:27:19little bit when a quarterback

00:27:20is running around like he has

00:27:21been running around throwing the

00:27:22football that you just can't

00:27:24wait to launch all the time you

00:27:25can't wait to launch all the

00:27:26time number fifty four is Randy

00:27:28White that's who they called it

00:27:30against ball is out of the twenty

00:27:32five yard line and it's time

00:27:33Brookshire said it's an

00:27:34automatic first down six and a

00:27:36half minutes left third quarter

00:27:39on the first offensive series of

00:27:41the game Robert Miller wrapped

00:27:43up by Robert Bruning Thomas

00:27:46Henderson pretty clever though

00:27:48Fran came right back and tried

00:27:49to finesse Randy White knowing

00:27:51that number fifty four is

00:27:53breathing fire for being called

00:27:54and he tried to run a trap play

00:27:56on him and Dallas defense

00:27:58covered up well it'll be second

00:28:03down about 10 still nine and a

00:28:06half perhaps about a yard by

00:28:10Miller like I'm sitting on the

00:28:12powder and the crowd senses the

00:28:14same thing nothing's gonna

00:28:16happen Vegas Miller passes the

00:28:21ball Charlie Waters has it

00:28:24water the flag goes down waters

00:28:26at the 30 inside the 30 to about

00:28:29the 28 yard line but there's a

00:28:30flag down it may be Aaron Kyle's

00:28:37violation here's the spread out

00:28:41off the inside fake so the

00:28:43linebackers have sort of been

00:28:44sucked into the middle carried a

00:28:47little bit loosely and tackle

00:28:48the line that was Ed too tall

00:28:50Jones now here is the saga

00:28:53whatever took place and I believe

00:28:55you're right I believe Kyle just

00:28:57tackled somebody straight from

00:28:58behind to void I believe is the

00:28:59guy that he hit and I thought for

00:29:01a minute that boy might have

00:29:02hurt his knee personal foul

00:29:07flipping on the run back Dallas

00:29:11first down first down cowboys at

00:29:14their own 44 yard line five

00:29:17minutes 43 seconds left third

00:29:19period Vikings lead 7 3 at

00:29:22summer all the time Brookshire

00:29:24Bloomington Minnesota Golden

00:29:27Richards comes left and Drew

00:29:29Pearson goes right to free

00:29:37emotion after all that shifting

00:29:42and dancing nothing doing Alan

00:29:45Page comes up about one inch one

00:29:48inch from Fitzgerald's nose the

00:29:49offensive center and how he

00:29:51moved laterally along the line

00:29:52of scrimmage that quickly and

00:29:53made the tackle a line of

00:29:54scrimmage standing up I don't

00:29:56even think Alan Page knows an

00:29:58incredible performance Golden

00:30:01Richards goes out and puts

00:30:02Johnson comes in that's the way

00:30:03Tom Landry is calling the play

00:30:05shuttling his wide receiver

00:30:06Johnson Johnson is right down

00:30:19the middle Billy Joe Dupree I

00:30:21believe he got it well that's a

00:30:23fine throw by Starbucks in

00:30:25between and a great catch think

00:30:28about how much concentration it

00:30:29takes to have purple jerseys on

00:30:32about three sides of the and

00:30:34then have Roger step up and

00:30:35watch that and all you want to

00:30:37do is make the catch watch that

00:30:41a lot of happens in the regular

00:30:43four man front they just take

00:30:44everybody by and Roger steps up

00:30:47inside that guy doing the job

00:30:49there is Herbert Scott number 68

00:30:53he's got a good job back there

00:31:03with him let's see what Herbert

00:31:06Scott did that passing situation

00:31:10now it's almost given up right

00:31:12away let's see how Scott and

00:31:13page make out this time he's

00:31:16getting penetration but Scott

00:31:17has excellent position as long

00:31:20as Roger can see the white

00:31:21jersey he knows he's still all

00:31:22the way up there's a guy who

00:31:26know about it and it probably

00:31:28already does third and can I

00:31:36want him to defend me I'll tell

00:31:38you that Roger going for the

00:31:49first time out of bounds.

00:31:52Pearson well covered by Nate

00:31:53Wright they're not in field

00:31:56goal range either Danny White

00:32:00and putting it come on for

00:32:02Dallas it is still Minnesota 7

00:32:04Dallas 3 you can't cry wolf too

00:32:08often you get that ball

00:32:09somebody's gonna have to make

00:32:10points out of the last team with

00:32:12the ball may win this game

00:32:16forty seven thousand six hundred

00:32:18forty six Danny White has done

00:32:24that his own forty four Bob

00:32:27Grimm standing back at the

00:32:28Minnesota 10 if he goes straight

00:32:30away or if he tried talking to

00:32:42Alan Page Daly Lewis the

00:32:47quarterback is the person that

00:32:48snaps back for the punter two

00:32:51or three Minnesota people came

00:32:53over so they must have been

00:32:55drawn Cowboys get back in the

00:33:07punt formation again just over

00:33:09three and a half minutes left in

00:33:10the third period to try to go

00:33:14for the corner again he nailed

00:33:15the first two earlier sliced a

00:33:20bit Miller sees it bounce goes

00:33:23through I don't know if he

00:33:25touched it or not Cowboys tried

00:33:29to drop down it they think it

00:33:30should be a touchdown I saw a

00:33:32touch back signal though I did

00:33:34not see the TV arms raised by

00:33:36anybody but the Cowboys they're

00:33:38saying that Grimm touched the

00:33:39ball Charlie Waters is still hot

00:33:45but that would be a muffin not a

00:33:46fumble if he had attempted to

00:33:49try to catch it but I didn't

00:33:50think he tried to catch it I

00:33:51thought I just glanced it's

00:33:54going to be an argument here the

00:33:56ball hit the ground went past

00:33:59Graham and so it's Minnesota

00:34:04football at the 20 and the

00:34:07Cowboys are still yelling on the

00:34:08sideline at the officials that

00:34:09Bob Grimm touched that ball and

00:34:12if he had it would have been a

00:34:13touchdown the official was down

00:34:16in that area but he was around

00:34:17the goal line and not at about

00:34:18the seven or eight where that

00:34:19probably took place that that's

00:34:21right and you know those players

00:34:25don't lie either they do argue

00:34:27though whatever that argument is

00:34:33to no avail and Minnesota has a

00:34:34football at their own 20 let's

00:34:38go inside this new Firestone

00:34:53radial tire is an improved steel

00:34:55cord with five million miles of

00:34:57developmental testing where once

00:34:59we used five strands we now use

00:35:0110 strands of steel seven around

00:35:04two wrapped by one accord

00:35:07with a mission so important

00:35:58p.m. Eastern Time the Trenton

00:36:00one fifty televised live gives

00:36:07the foreman taken down behind the

00:36:10line of scrimmage by Harvey

00:36:11Martin Dallas defense right now

00:36:14is really nasty the last series

00:36:16down in the goal line every

00:36:18tackle is a little extra that

00:36:21time Harvey really pinned the

00:36:22legs together and sort of got up

00:36:23and slapped him back down on

00:36:24Foreman like OK we're going to

00:36:26settle it here let's settle it

00:36:27here but it's going to get

00:36:29rough I thought it was

00:36:30interesting the way the Viking

00:36:31players were approaching this

00:36:32game somebody asked him if they

00:36:34wanted they would prefer to play

00:36:36an easy team in an opener and

00:36:38they said heck no let's get on

00:36:40with it but Foreman say he wants

00:36:42to play Tampa play next week

00:36:48second down situation and

00:36:50talking to him gives back to

00:36:51Foreman Foreman doesn't get much

00:36:54flag goes down he tried to run a

00:36:57course and did execute it but

00:37:00Dallas was not confused at all

00:37:01Charlie Waters and Cliff Harris

00:37:03the two safety men converge

00:37:05whatever we might have a crack

00:37:07back I think from the outside

00:37:09perhaps or holding it was thrown

00:37:13in the direction of the outside

00:37:14blocker that came in and hit

00:37:15Harvey Martin in the back you

00:37:17can do it upstairs but you can't

00:37:19go down below Harvey Martin

00:37:23indicating or talking to the

00:37:24bench and getting the indication

00:37:25from them that they would like

00:37:27to block the penalty but you

00:37:30block too tall Joe you'd have to

00:37:31block him low.

00:37:32Yeah see who did it holding

00:37:43Brady three up to boy like

00:37:48Stuvo it was the one that came

00:37:49from the outside on Harvey

00:37:51Martin they've turned on the

00:37:54clouds have come back we've got

00:37:57a whole quarter of football man

00:37:59what's going to happen.

00:38:00No it's evident we may get a

00:38:02snow yet humid enough.

00:38:07Second at twenty one situation

00:38:08for Minnesota at their own nine

00:38:10yard line.

00:38:10Arkansas dropped.

00:38:13Francis goes to Portland who

00:38:15fumbled.

00:38:16Now they call it an incomplete

00:38:17pass.

00:38:18Thomas Henderson whacked Foreman

00:38:21in the back and knocked the ball

00:38:22loose.

00:38:23And you could almost hear the

00:38:24fans again breathe a deep sigh

00:38:26of relief because it looked like

00:38:28Paul and might have had that

00:38:29right now the group you see is

00:38:31fighting for its life because

00:38:33Dallas is extremely physical

00:38:35this defensive team right now is

00:38:37Ernie Stocker and those guys

00:38:38must have pumped him up on the

00:38:39sidelines and said let's go out

00:38:40and get some raw meat or

00:38:41something because they're really

00:38:42beaten on people.

00:38:44Ernie pumped himself up.

00:38:46He's out on the field.

00:38:47Nobody played in cover that

00:38:48Ernie Stocker.

00:38:49Sir.

00:38:50Third and twenty one situation

00:38:52two minutes twenty four seconds

00:38:54left third quarter.

00:38:56Minnesota seven Dallas three.

00:38:59And again goes deep.

00:39:02Throwing deep.

00:39:04Pick up back with.

00:39:06His second interception of the

00:39:08day at the forty five.

00:39:10Harris.

00:39:11Gives the Cowboys the ball and

00:39:12the.

00:39:13He's out on the field.

00:39:14Forty five.

00:39:15Harris.

00:39:16Gives the Cowboys the ball back.

00:39:18All right.

00:39:19Frank Tarkin is going for deep

00:39:21in his own territory and they've

00:39:22been flirting with disaster down

00:39:24here the entire quarter.

00:39:26And the guy from Wachita

00:39:27College.

00:39:30Well I'll tell you that is

00:39:31fingertip control I don't know

00:39:32how he got control of the ball.

00:39:34Second I.

00:39:35And T for forty three.

00:39:36Right.

00:39:37Third for Dallas.

00:39:40Henderson got one Harris has to.

00:39:42Get a second.

00:39:43And.

00:39:43Get a third.

00:39:46Man didn't look anybody off

00:39:47either he went right to the deep

00:39:48target and.

00:39:50Didn't give a second very much

00:39:51to worry about.

00:39:52It is still Pearson a new house.

00:39:54Running back to the Cowboys.

00:39:58At the 45 yard line of Minnesota

00:40:00on first down Starbucks.

00:40:02Pitches back to Pearson.

00:40:05Got a couple of blocks.

00:40:07But that Minnesota defense.

00:40:08Pursues so well you don't fool

00:40:10anybody and that better.

00:40:12And.

00:40:13That's a good point.

00:40:13He threw his hundred and eighty

00:40:15pounds in there and almost wreck

00:40:17that play and took a heck of a

00:40:18beating.

00:40:19And you're right.

00:40:20They really cover for one

00:40:21another.

00:40:23A gain of perhaps three.

00:40:25Make a second and seven.

00:40:31But Grant.

00:40:33And his arm.

00:40:37To those coaches.

00:40:38Pretty disciplined though and

00:40:39pretty much in control all the

00:40:40time.

00:40:43All about is looking and

00:40:45throwing.

00:40:46Pearson the catch.

00:40:47Inside the 40 but he's down Matt

00:40:49Blair was close to him.

00:40:53Well that was some catch really

00:40:54was.

00:40:58Have to admire that guy.

00:41:00You know how many Super Bowl

00:41:01rings he's got three.

00:41:03Colts.

00:41:04Pittsburgh.

00:41:06Dallas Dallas.

00:41:09They go back again he's got.

00:41:11Another arm.

00:41:13The.

00:41:1320 Likes best.

00:41:16The last one I imagine.

00:41:19Collateral Lowe.

00:41:23Third down situation and three.

00:41:28At the Minnesota thirty nine

00:41:29star box up.

00:41:30No shot.

00:41:37Now look at those two coaches.

00:41:39SEC to take Dallas out of

00:41:41Minnesota territory.

00:41:42And Tom Landry just puts his

00:41:43notes away.

00:41:45But Grant.

00:41:47Come on we've got to go.

00:41:48That's that big James White the

00:41:50second year tackle from Oklahoma

00:41:51State watch the left part of

00:41:52your screen.

00:41:53He tries to run a start with

00:41:55Eller and he just ran over the

00:41:56top of everybody.

00:41:58So it's Danny White.

00:42:01From Minnesota is Bob Graham it

00:42:03was almost disaster the last

00:42:04time White funded.

00:42:10He hangs a good one this time

00:42:11and Graham has come up with a

00:42:12feel that it bounces away again

00:42:14and Bob Graham gets the rebound.

00:42:17Wow I'm telling you.

00:42:24Baltimore Seattle score now

00:42:26nineteen seven the Colts that's

00:42:28in the third period at Seattle

00:42:3118 seconds left at Metropolitan

00:42:34Stadium in Bloomington

00:42:35Minnesota.

00:42:37What happened in baseball today

00:42:38Boston beat Baltimore 10 to 4.

00:42:40That chase still isn't over in

00:42:41baseball is it.

00:42:42By any means the Yankees we

00:42:43showed you earlier.

00:42:47Beat Detroit 6 5 so the Yankees

00:42:49pick up a full game on

00:42:50Baltimore.

00:42:52Put them out in front by three

00:42:54to have.

00:42:54Here's Tarkington giving the

00:42:56foreman who breaks one.

00:42:58But doesn't get away from Bob

00:42:59Brunig and.

00:43:01The ever present with Harris.

00:43:02You've seen two defensive units

00:43:04though.

00:43:04Just take the other offense and

00:43:06sit on it.

00:43:07You've seen two defensive units

00:43:08just take the other offense and

00:43:10sit on it.

00:43:11The second half.

00:43:13The big plays have been made by

00:43:15people that used to be obscure

00:43:16on the line of scrimmage.

00:43:19All right.

00:43:20Tom Landry applause that's the

00:43:21end of the third quarter we now

00:43:23pause for a word from your local

00:43:24station.

00:43:31Betty White sees red when a

00:43:33blind date for her ex-husband

00:43:35leads to a blossoming romance

00:43:36tomorrow night on CBS.

00:43:38We'll be right back.

00:43:52Minnesota has 15 first downs on

00:43:55the day.

00:43:55Dallas has only eight.

00:43:57Randy White is.

00:43:58Loosening up behind the

00:43:59Cowboy Band.

00:44:03And talking to now.

00:44:05Foreman and Robert Miller the

00:44:06running back to make it part of

00:44:07the first half.

00:44:14You want to see what it looks

00:44:15like on the line of scrimmage.

00:44:17There's Tingle off he's been

00:44:18doing that for 16 years.

00:44:19Now watch what happens on the

00:44:20snap.

00:44:21Remember the poor center starts

00:44:22every one of those Randy White.

00:44:25Goodrum.

00:44:28Brunich.

00:44:29Too tall.

00:44:31Don't ask me how they do not

00:44:33have more injuries on that line

00:44:34of scrimmage than they do.

00:44:36I'm not.

00:44:36The fact the only reason there's

00:44:37not a fight is they have to go

00:44:38back to the huddle both.

00:44:41Third and five situations for

00:44:43Minnesota.

00:44:44Targeted.

00:44:44To throw.

00:44:48Or trying to and throws.

00:44:52Jeff Harris almost came up with

00:44:53the intercept and it was

00:44:54intended for Chuck Foreman.

00:44:56Larry Cole a veteran is the one

00:44:58that put the heat on talking to

00:44:59that boy over the years.

00:45:02How many times have we seen him

00:45:03come up with the big play.

00:45:05The truth.

00:45:06Strong as a mule to.

00:45:09Danny White.

00:45:13Danny White loosening over there.

00:45:16Standing behind a Minnesota

00:45:18bench that looks sort of odd

00:45:19that.

00:45:20Not safe.

00:45:21Play ball.

00:45:23On the side of his foot.

00:45:24But Johnson chasing it over

00:45:26there and feels it.

00:45:27Johnson with a good effort got

00:45:29back close to midfield.

00:45:31Bob Graham.

00:45:32Is the guy who got him out of

00:45:33the field but Dallas because of

00:45:35that fine effort by Johnson.

00:45:37Will have the ball up on their

00:45:39own forty eight yard line and

00:45:40again Dallas in shape to go to

00:45:43work from near midfield.

00:45:45But Minnesota's defense has been

00:45:46just stifling.

00:45:47They still lead seven three.

00:45:55The Ford in your future is

00:45:56coming.

00:45:57The new Ford Fairmont.

00:46:00A new car designed for today and

00:46:01the years ahead.

00:46:02Fairmont's combined city highway

00:46:04mileage rating is within two

00:46:05miles per gallon of a little VW

00:46:07rabbit.

00:46:08Yet it has almost 90 percent of

00:46:09the interior room of the

00:46:10Chevrolet Impala and excellent

00:46:12all around visibility and

00:46:14Fairmont base sticker prices for

00:46:16two doors four doors and wagons

00:46:18will be surprisingly low.

00:46:19Test drive Fairmont October 7th.

00:46:22Fairmont the newest better idea

00:46:24from Ford.

00:46:27Perhaps Blue Ribbon wouldn't

00:46:28challenge anyone to get this

00:46:30close to an erupting volcano.

00:46:33It's a kind of challenge that's

00:46:34just not for everyone.

00:46:37But we do challenge you to

00:46:39discover a better tasting beer.

00:46:42Taste and compare Blue Ribbon

00:46:43with any other premium beer.

00:46:45We know you'll never go back to

00:46:46the beer you were drinking.

00:46:48Perhaps since 1844 the quality

00:46:51has always come through.

00:46:55Wonder why your car insurance

00:46:57rates are going up.

00:46:58Curious about how much influence

00:47:00the government has on your

00:47:01congressman watch 60 minutes

00:47:03tonight.

00:47:04At summer all with Tom

00:47:05Brookshire opening day of the

00:47:08NFL season number 58.

00:47:11I was right.

00:47:11They got a lot of points there

00:47:12that third period and they're

00:47:13just waiting for the fuse to go

00:47:14off.

00:47:15Seven three to score Minnesota

00:47:17over Dallas.

00:47:19Cowboys are going to put it up.

00:47:22They're going to try to put it

00:47:23up.

00:47:25Carl Eller and James White.

00:47:28Carl Eller and James White.

00:47:36All right Carl Eller working

00:47:37against Donovan.

00:47:40Let's see what happens.

00:47:41Carl gets the initial get

00:47:42straightened up now Donovan

00:47:44loses the faith didn't keep it

00:47:45going.

00:47:46Roger could see 81 all the way

00:47:49almost gets away with it.

00:47:52Almost isn't good enough is it.

00:47:54And again.

00:47:56A very difficult situation for

00:47:58the Cowboys second and 19.

00:48:00Ball at their own thirty nine.

00:48:02Tony Hill.

00:48:04But why to the right.

00:48:05Again starbuck in trouble.

00:48:07Fires up the middle of the house.

00:48:09A new house still struggling

00:48:11get close to the original line

00:48:12of scrimmage.

00:48:14Back to about the 48 yard line.

00:48:17Hard to get him down.

00:48:18Roger had trouble getting that

00:48:19ball off.

00:48:21And he threw it out of bounds.

00:48:22Roger had trouble getting that

00:48:23ball off.

00:48:25And he threw one you could catch

00:48:26from either end.

00:48:27Watch this.

00:48:28Here comes the rush and I'll

00:48:29tell you the Vikings are really

00:48:30coming that's page coming on the

00:48:32stuff on the outside and watch

00:48:33that ball.

00:48:37Newhouse had to wait too long

00:48:39that's reason he's charged up.

00:48:41And this guy James White.

00:48:44Like.

00:48:44Strong fellow.

00:48:47He's given Rafferty.

00:48:52To.

00:48:53Third down in the.

00:49:04He was open Bobby Bryant on the

00:49:06cover.

00:49:07Roger just overthrew.

00:49:09Watch it.

00:49:09Now watch them exchange men

00:49:11Rafferty takes Keller.

00:49:12Coming inside.

00:49:14And why it was taken by Donovan

00:49:16that ball to.

00:49:17Go beyond Pearson.

00:49:22The.

00:49:22Applause is for the defense.

00:49:25All about.

00:49:26Landry on the left.

00:49:27But Grant.

00:49:28Stoic one on the right.

00:49:31Keep in mind now as Dallas goes

00:49:33into punt formation that.

00:49:34Danny White the putter has been

00:49:36loosening that arm.

00:49:38Good kick.

00:49:40Up with the fair catch signal.

00:49:44Was Joe Blaha.

00:49:47At the 10 the Vikings will take

00:49:48it over.

00:49:49Notice how the good teams though

00:49:50have a good kicking game.

00:49:52They all have a consistent 40

00:49:53yard field goal man and they all

00:49:55have a putter that can drop it

00:49:56inside the 20.

00:49:59Minnesota still owns that lead

00:50:00of four points seven three over

00:50:02Dallas.

00:50:03And we have 12 minutes and 36

00:50:05seconds remaining in the game.

00:50:18We put mobile one into this car

00:50:20and drove a 15000 miles without

00:50:23an oil change.

00:50:27We then tested the oil and found

00:50:29it used mobile one still

00:50:31protected the engine as well as

00:50:33new ordinary motor oil.

00:50:35Mobile one the oil that saves

00:50:37you gas saves you oil changes.

00:51:13It's been a day for defense

00:51:14neither quarterback has had

00:51:15outstanding success.

00:51:17These are two of the best but

00:51:18they're also two of the best

00:51:19players in the league.

00:51:23When a hand was in motion

00:51:25talking to now running and

00:51:26throwing.

00:51:28Incomplete.

00:51:29Tended for Stu Boyd.

00:51:31Pat you and I were sitting

00:51:32around yesterday and Mike Ditka

00:51:34and Dan Reeves came in on the

00:51:36Cowboy coaching staff and they

00:51:38said even seven or eight years

00:51:39ago you could get an offense

00:51:40together and teach someone

00:51:41quickly and the defenses now are

00:51:43so sophisticated they're so

00:51:45changeable that he said it's

00:51:47almost incredible to put

00:51:48together a game plan without

00:51:49having to go through the first

00:51:50period or something.

00:51:51It's really so true and I think

00:51:53time that's one of the reasons

00:51:54we haven't seen more Tony

00:51:55Dorsett.

00:51:57That's right.

00:51:59Second down and can't fall on

00:52:02the can.

00:52:03The draw play to Foreman.

00:52:06Lot of juking.

00:52:09But not much yardage Foreman

00:52:11down at the 13 by Randy White.

00:52:13There is Tony Dorsett.

00:52:17He made no bones about saying he

00:52:18doesn't want to get the ball

00:52:19down.

00:52:20That's starting.

00:52:21Well he's going to have to learn

00:52:22to that you know if he doesn't

00:52:24want to carry the entire load on

00:52:26his shoulders and this team is a

00:52:28pretty good football team a year

00:52:29ago and with him when he gets

00:52:31the gears on that it's going to

00:52:32be dynamite.

00:52:34There is Mike Ditka.

00:52:36The guy.

00:52:37Tom was just talking about

00:52:38putting that offense together.

00:52:40But it becomes such a great

00:52:41challenge third down for

00:52:43Tarkin to now.

00:52:45Being chased.

00:52:46And being caught by Harvey

00:52:47Martin.

00:52:49Harvey Martin on a start up the

00:52:50middle.

00:52:51Randy White came to the outside.

00:52:53What's this.

00:52:54Speaking of waiting for

00:52:55stardom remember Harvey Martin

00:52:56was just a big young good

00:52:57looking defensive in about that

00:52:59third year.

00:53:00It all made sense the number

00:53:01seventy nine.

00:53:02And if there's anybody better

00:53:04against the run and the past you

00:53:06know I have to say it.

00:53:08Aren't many around.

00:53:11Back on the gravel.

00:53:13And the end of the end zone is

00:53:14he'll play ball.

00:53:16The Vikings are so far in their

00:53:18own territory that he can't get

00:53:20as far back as he normally

00:53:21would.

00:53:22Get it out in nice fashion.

00:53:23But Johnson.

00:53:26Got it back.

00:53:28At the thirty four the Cowboys

00:53:30will take over they'll have it

00:53:31first and 10.

00:53:34Clabo lost his footing making

00:53:36the putt his left foot slip and

00:53:38he went down I don't know how he

00:53:39got it out.

00:53:40We're talking about that watch.

00:53:45The pratfall.

00:53:46Yeah.

00:53:47Dangerous game.

00:53:49Even when nobody hits you.

00:53:51You don't think he has big

00:53:52goose pimples right now do you.

00:53:58Get the floor like Ray Bolger.

00:54:02At the thirty four.

00:54:06Inside handoff the house is

00:54:08inside the Vikings thirty to the

00:54:09twenty nine.

00:54:11Stopped by James White.

00:54:13No.

00:54:15Matt Blair.

00:54:17White's been living with Roger

00:54:18Starbuck I imagine he wanted to

00:54:20try to get him to sit down a

00:54:21little bit.

00:54:22Big kid from Oklahoma State's

00:54:23been putting it down and just

00:54:24coming.

00:54:26Quiet him down by running at him.

00:54:29Get his attention anyway.

00:54:31Second and six the four yard

00:54:32pickup by Newhouse.

00:54:34Still one of the setbacks along

00:54:35with.

00:54:40Right again.

00:54:41Into it.

00:54:44Mix up in the backfield there.

00:54:47Watch this collision.

00:54:51Rafferty gets out of there.

00:54:53That's a real cross buck.

00:54:57Across not.

00:54:59The eleven other guys aren't

00:55:00tough enough.

00:55:03You got one play of the whole

00:55:04game maybe if you're.

00:55:06Thinking about the balance.

00:55:10All right.

00:55:13I'm going to go up and third

00:55:14period.

00:55:15Golden Richard Wright.

00:55:19About.

00:55:22But.

00:55:24That's where I got him out of

00:55:25bounds but inside the 15 yard

00:55:27line just barely.

00:55:30Ralph Neely is down back on

00:55:32about the 40 yard line area.

00:55:35Ralph Neely the offensive

00:55:36tackle for Dallas for so many

00:55:38many years.

00:55:40Came to camp this year in better

00:55:41shape than ever.

00:55:42And.

00:55:43Ralph said he really worked in

00:55:44the offseason on getting back

00:55:45the strength and all you know

00:55:46you sort of forget to do that

00:55:48when you've been around over 10

00:55:49years.

00:55:50And Neely said he got himself in

00:55:52tremendous shape.

00:55:53I'll tell you something he's in

00:55:54pain right now.

00:55:57Big Andy Frederick has replaced

00:55:58him.

00:56:01Six six.

00:56:02Two forty one is Frederick.

00:56:04They've already lost great feel

00:56:05right.

00:56:07And now if they lose their other

00:56:08offensive tackle.

00:56:12Let's see if we can find out

00:56:13what happened to Bailey.

00:56:14Watch up at the top of your

00:56:15picture.

00:56:16All right let's take a look at

00:56:17it now.

00:56:17Neely's number 73.

00:56:18He'll be past blocking.

00:56:21Get that left leg caught under

00:56:23him a little bit doesn't he.

00:56:25He's up walking off though.

00:56:28You know what he yelled at me

00:56:29today when I saw him in the

00:56:31hotel lobby he says I'll have a

00:56:33good game.

00:56:34I said don't worry about me big

00:56:35fella you're the one that's got

00:56:36to get hit.

00:56:39Funny a lot of the Cowboys are

00:56:40saying to us.

00:56:41You guys have a good day.

00:56:42Have a good year.

00:56:43You know it's tough.

00:56:49Dallas.

00:56:50At the 15 yard line of

00:56:51Minnesota.

00:56:55Johnson and most.

00:56:58Of all banks about the 10

00:57:00perhaps inside.

00:57:04Preston Pearson the ball carrier

00:57:06Alan Page.

00:57:09Right at the 10.

00:57:11Is Pearson.

00:57:13And I see how tough that

00:57:14defense is for the Vikings it

00:57:15makes me really appreciate the

00:57:16Oakland Raider offensive line

00:57:18doesn't it.

00:57:19It surely does.

00:57:19They could go in there and just

00:57:20take them apart in the big game.

00:57:24We're really Oakland defense.

00:57:30At the Minnesota.

00:57:32Ralph Neely is back in the game

00:57:34at second and five.

00:57:35Speaker 2 1.

00:57:43About five or six and a half

00:57:45yard line.

00:57:46Watch nearly block.

00:57:49Big Ralph got across the line of

00:57:50scrimmage looked like he was

00:57:51back in Oklahoma.

00:57:53Very quick move the right of

00:57:54your screen you'll see Fitz

00:57:56Jarrell working and nearly takes.

00:57:59Crossbody block on.

00:58:01The linebacker there McNeil.

00:58:05It's a great.

00:58:12Minnesota lead seven three

00:58:13Starbucks.

00:58:17By Pearson.

00:58:19What a catch.

00:58:20And a touchdown Dallas.

00:58:22And semen had him covered right

00:58:25on the goal line and he twisted

00:58:26his body around while he was

00:58:27being wrapped.

00:58:30Miraculous catch.

00:58:32By Preston Pearson.

00:58:33Tough call.

00:58:34He has a double on page Fitzgerald and Scott now watch this throw sidearm I don't believe

00:58:43the catch.

00:58:44Can't cover him in the better.

00:58:45The Cowboys went 33 yards in six plays and now our friend Herrera is trying to make it

00:58:4610-7 now.

00:58:47He'll jump off side.

00:58:48Won't try quite yet.

00:58:49Flags all over the place.

00:58:50Offside Minnesota.

00:59:04It's the most dangerous play in football.

00:59:14I know it looks like the point after.

00:59:17I mean if you run across by accident hit somebody like Randy White you know you can better have

00:59:22double indemnity in trouble.

00:59:23So Charlie Waters holding a very important extra point here and Herrera hits it.

00:59:34Dallas 10.

00:59:35Minnesota 7.

00:59:36Time remaining on that scoreboard 8 minutes 43 seconds in the fourth period.

00:59:47Europe's most successful new car in history comes to America introducing Fiesta now imported

00:59:58from Germany by Ford Fiesta 0 to 50 in an average of 8.8 seconds road gripping Michelin

01:00:07radio tires the traction of front wheel drive and excellent gasoline economy Fiesta Europe's

01:00:15most successful new car in history test drive one at your authorized Ford dealer now.

01:00:22I was asked to talk about the incredible Black and Decker workmate there's almost nothing

01:00:26it can't hold but the workmate is so incredible I'm going to let it do the talking.

01:00:43The workmate from Black and Decker and nobody else when America has a job to do it reaches

01:00:49for Black and Decker Herrera kicking off from the 40 not the 35 because the penalty on the

01:00:58extra point is now move it up Herrera catches it pretty good McClanahan over in the corner

01:01:06of the end zone watches it roll out through the gravel and up against the screen 10 7

01:01:18Dallas over Minnesota the Vikings own the football at their own 20 yard line I'm trying

01:01:23to think back and see if we've seen most of the Minnesota offense.

01:01:27Fran hasn't let many plays go uncalled but he might do some screens at the time left

01:01:35in this opening game 1977 McClanahan in motion and Parkinson goes to throw out to Foreman

01:01:43Thomas Henderson right there Henderson has great speed what a shot he gave Foreman Foreman here

01:01:52talking about it Henderson said you didn't have to catch it Foreman said I won't next time maybe

01:01:59still mumbling about it Baltimore Seattle situation a little bit closer than it was

01:02:10Baltimore got a field goal to make it 22 Seattle got a touchdown to make it 14

01:02:14Parkinson to Foreman burns to the outside before Benny Barnes number 31 made the tackle did not

01:02:27get a first down but we'll make it third at about two and a half you think the head slap rule where

01:02:34the linemen are no longer allowed to take that slap is that going to affect either of these

01:02:38team that we're watching you think Dallas used to use it a lot I think it affects the pass rush

01:02:42more than anything else I'm thinking of two tall Jones in particular no he used to use the slap

01:02:48because he's so tall market that's gonna throw like a ballet dance back there and gets away from

01:03:02everybody and finally does throw Robert Miller what a job Parkinson did

01:03:19there are no flags either watch this this is a reason you can't give him X's and O's

01:03:26now watch the dart he throws when he finds it and I mean it's right on good play here by Harris

01:03:34who really had to make sure a contact get as much the body as you can then Minnesota moves into

01:03:42Dallas territory with six minutes 48 seconds left away Dallas leads by three 10-7 the time

01:03:50you see in the right-hand corner of your screen first in 10 Minnesota it is Foreman

01:03:59taken down on a great play by Hardy Martin I mean Riley put a good block on Martin to

01:04:06thing is he's so fast and strong at the same time he took the block accepted that and then

01:04:13just made the tackle anybody else thinking sudden death in case things would stall down

01:04:18Cox can kick them from 35 then you go one extra period a new set of running backs on

01:04:27second and 10 for Minnesota it's Sammy Johnson and Mark killer but Francis is going to throw

01:04:35you know I guess not brings down to the 40s Dallas is making pass all the way so God looks

01:04:47like they've tamed off the rush to the Vikings have gotten to him on the line of scrimmage a

01:04:51little bit perhaps our friends run around play before that pass tired them out a little bit

01:04:56too but Grant and Robert Miller up ready to go into the game but now he's just floating

01:05:03third and three fans start to stomp again when Parkinson is so valuable in a situation like

01:05:15this because he can run

01:05:23Wow D.D. Lewis popped him out of bounds but he got his first down you said it and this time it's

01:05:31all right I'll watch it for an area hot footed and DD really gives him a shot in fact he goes

01:05:43almost under the Dallas bench dangerous area five minutes ten seconds left to play Dallas

01:05:5310 Minnesota 7 pretty good way to start the season huh what a craftsman that Fran talking

01:06:00to me I'm amazed every time I watch him perform I'll tell you Minnesota ball at the Dallas 36

01:06:07target Harvey Martin just got picked off at the last minute but the rush was what caused

01:06:16Parkinson to under throw he was five seconds the big problem was that mosquito that got

01:06:23put on the forearm he's just turning just eating up in the last play and the pocket is not safe

01:06:33how close number 79 comes what's to the center of your screen Pingelhoff just picked him off in

01:06:41time it looks like waters the safety man and Brunig the linebacker get caught a stunt by

01:07:11the Dallas defensive lineman and they ran straight at the stunt which is an excellent

01:07:16thing to do you can see waters there Kyle finally making the tackle at the Dallas

01:07:31Foreman

01:07:41Ron Gary and Wes Hamilton have done a heck of a job on that right side the Dallas starts have

01:07:52to stop lock still running the Vikings huddling Dallas has got their defense ball less than four

01:08:00minutes second and one plan a hand flux to the ten I think he got the first down now you're

01:08:17going to see it you're going to see a defensive series now are the Vikings are going to walk

01:08:25away with the game and it won't be anything left on that clock when they get through it

01:08:30both teams have all their timeouts left it is first and goal from the nine

01:08:35the most helpless feeling possibly imagine as the feeling that Tom Landry has right now

01:08:49just over three minutes left to play Tarkenton gives to Foreman

01:08:53Foreman got perhaps one before Brunig and Harvey Martin wrapped him up

01:09:00now Dallas is gambling a little bit on defense Fran Tarkenton can spread out or roll or do

01:09:10almost anything and he might have ducked inside for the last time and tested him in there let's

01:09:16see if he's going to sort of dangle something in front of him this drive to get the game

01:09:33before Carly Waters with that clutch tackle what a tackle what grant has an idea what he wants

01:09:43done he has told McClanahan and now he calls Sammy Johnson Johnson comes in watch this now

01:09:49and Waters makes the tackle he used to be just a good-looking athlete but he has worked on his

01:09:54physical development so much that he made a very strong tackle two minutes left to play both but

01:10:02grant and Tom Landry will be advised of that they'll get visits from quarterbacks and defensive

01:10:08signal callers 10-7 Dallas hi max mileage here welcoming you to the Firestone car service center

01:11:03and save up to five dollars on an official Wilson football come on

01:11:07pick up Schlitz and have a ball pass the word pass the word pass the Schlitz

01:11:14the clock shows two minutes left the scoreboard shows Dallas 10 Vikings 7

01:11:25if you look at the field though you see that Minnesota has the third and goal at the nine

01:11:31but you got to be careful if you got five receivers out there you don't want to give

01:11:35the ball up now Cox is ready if this this third down play fails

01:11:44still looking on Fran Carkenton still directly attack against the Dallas defense they do not

01:11:50quit he called Jones take him down at Jones and Larry Cole the guys who put the pressure

01:11:57on Fran Carkenton here he comes and remember Tuttle's been working against Ron Gary that

01:12:06was some pass rush it sure was Paul Krause is the holder 15 years Fred Cox has been looking

01:12:14pressure right in the face he said the other day well I guess I've seen about all kinds but he's

01:12:20in a pretty darn pressurized position right now I'll tell you it is going to be a 35 yard attempt

01:12:27Cox had a lot of competition in training camp that experience is one reason they kept him and

01:12:32not the other guy Minnesota 10 Dallas 10 a minute 35 left to play but Grant almost smiled but not

01:12:45quite at least he didn't yell at Johnny Michaels maybe we ought to run down the ground rules right

01:12:52here Tom of what will happen if the game ends like this Fred Cox Mosquitoes are still biting

01:12:57butt Grant no matter where they tied the score or not a minute 35 left to play a drive by the

01:13:06Vikings to tie it there'll be a three minute break if the game ends like this 1010 and then

01:13:13we'll go into sudden death for one period if it's still tied that's the way to win what do you do

01:13:18with the run back and what do you do with the next two or three plays on offense you're willing

01:13:23to go into overtime now to get another shot offensively without perhaps losing it by a

01:13:29foolish move again both teams have three timeouts remaining I don't suppose Dallas is too concerned

01:13:37about an onside kick right here I don't think that Minnesota would try that in this situation

01:13:43that Cox kicks away which Johnson will field it at the goal line

01:13:50here comes Johnson

01:13:52a fine return by Johnson and what a clutch time and boy is he a part of this team

01:14:05good running back at Pittsburgh a few years ago Dallas got the good return that they needed right

01:14:16there they have all three of their timeouts left they have a minute 27 seconds left on

01:14:20the clock and the challenge is to the Minnesota defense one of the best

01:14:35first down Dallas at their own 48 Roger Starbucks goes back almost a low snap from center again

01:14:43the fake across the middle caught by Jay Staldy the backup tight end who's still trying to get

01:14:49up and in a discouple with Matt Blair they might go with a quick count right here by the way if

01:14:55this game should end like this and we went to sudden death 60 minutes will be seen in its

01:14:59entirety just slide the whole thing back again second and five the Minnesota 48 they're not

01:15:09field goal range as of right now less than a minute left to play callback gets the ball

01:15:15and hand off the new house Oh 45 where he is really hit by Jeff Seaman Seaman and Blair

01:15:23really unloaded on new house and that play looks super start now didn't it mm-hmm those

01:15:29linebackers for the Vikings Dallas I believe has just used a timeout so they have to live

01:15:36Minnesota has three the ball is at the Viking 45 not yet in range for a friend Herrera

01:15:49situation is about third and three for Dallas I can't believe that they wouldn't without taking

01:15:56too big a chance want to finish this thing off in regular play if they could could get close

01:16:01enough for a safe field goal shot a long one that could be blocked I don't think would be

01:16:06advisable because you know how the Vikings do things with blocked kicks and all Los Angeles

01:16:11they blocked 16 type kicks last year the Minnesota team did 13 the regular season 3 in the playoffs

01:16:19so they can do that but you sure don't want to go into an extra period and try to figure out

01:16:24how to win it then either if you can win it now there he is there is Herrera

01:16:28kickers are pretty lonely though Pat when it's really huh when you're the only guy that are

01:16:37on there huh that's right special place on that bench for the kicker third and three 48 seconds

01:16:46left to play now let's go back into the shotgun again

01:16:56forward handoff is the Pearson he's got the first down for Dallas and they've got to get back to the

01:17:02huddle in a hurry or else call another timeout right here first down for the Cowboys they're

01:17:07inside the 40 now and they hustle back in a hurry 32 seconds left the clock still running 30 seconds

01:17:15left at the 39 yard of Minnesota Starbucks drop new house gets out of bounds at the 32 and now

01:17:25the challenge really preys on the mind of Herrera there is what a year he had a year ago though he

01:17:33came right in and kicked under pressure from the very first moment like of a little character he'll

01:17:39sit in the lobby on a morning for a game and read the cartoons the paper the editorials and nothing

01:17:45again if this game should happen to go into overtime you will still see 60 minutes in its

01:17:53entirety we obviously would cover this game in its entirety but just slide the whole network

01:17:58schedule back you'll still see 60 minutes a second down situation second at 23 a second

01:18:0718 seconds left on the clock the ball the line of scrimmage the 31 yard line so it would be a

01:18:22tough shot for Herrera talk about coverage though Nate right now and that was so low coverage they

01:18:27had the blitz going and he went right with golden Richards we're still watching the young kicker and

01:18:32nobody's talking to him maybe he doesn't even want to talk to anybody right now there he comes

01:18:36it'll be third and to the situation coming up right now at the 31 yard line 18 seconds left

01:18:47to play score tied at 10 10 again the shotgun blitz is on by the bike wide open it Pearson

01:18:59at the 15 he is out of bounds Starbuck really hung in there how about squeezing off that round

01:19:06though when you know the linebackers are coming so he knows he's going to have an open receiver

01:19:10but look it into it's another thing it's the first down Dallas at the 15 yard line 13 seconds left

01:19:20to play Dallas still has two timeouts left Minnesota has three how far do you take it

01:19:26down right now I think you protect it one more play maybe one more and then kick it on second

01:19:35down just in case you might get a bad snap from center you have an extra down to do it

01:19:41all back gives you Pearson he protects he gets to the ten seven seconds now that Haggerty has

01:19:53stopped the clock with six seconds to go and here comes the field goal unit remember he's

01:20:01from Guadalajara with the UCLA and passport problems and everything else and he is kicking

01:20:08for Dallas he is also kicking very well for Dallas 78 percent he was last year and that's

01:20:14just phenomenal six seconds left on the clock 1010 the score friend Herrera with Charlie

01:20:26Waters to hold at the 18 it'll be 28 yards for Herrera

01:20:46it pulled it

01:20:47that Lord tells you the appreciation for one pulled left Herrera from 48 yards

01:21:08you can almost see the whole Dallas bench go down

01:21:111010 Minnesota Dallas

01:21:22three seconds left on that scoreboard clock and Francis just covers up it'll be overtime

01:21:31sudden death overtime they'll go one quarter each team will have two timeouts in that one

01:21:46quarter we'll wait three minutes before we come back for the sudden death period

01:21:50and Haggerty will summon the captains to the middle of the field again and it'll be just

01:21:55that start a new ballgame and and that's an important toss this is much more important

01:22:02than just opening the football game with a second half it certainly is Haggerty still

01:22:08calling here comes Harvey Martin Drew Pearson Jay Salvey out the Dallas bench Jim Marshall

01:22:16I believe big tingle off just call a coin in the air and Amos

01:22:24Wendlandt Hall Wendlandt Hall is the special team captain I started to say Amos Martin

01:22:31but he's gone call it in the air you got a tail tails he calls I got the football you

01:22:41heard him listen to the roar Minnesota and Dallas going to sudden death overtime opening

01:22:51Sunday turned out to be one heck of a Sunday didn't I got enough to worry about my hairline

01:23:02my waistline when it comes to my money our money we let someone else help us do the worrying our

01:23:08IDS representative he worries about planning for our future and that means not just life insurance

01:23:14but investments and savings to IDS not just insurance not just investments but a financial

01:23:20plan designed especially for you when it comes to your money let us help you do the worrying IDS we

01:23:27help people manage money at Allegheny Ludlam Industries we make and use special metals in

01:23:34a lot of ways nobody else does like time memory elements for digital clock radios we make the

01:23:40stainless steel for high-speed trains at Allegheny Ludlam Industries we create a lot of different

01:23:45things you live with every day all the way from this true temper tennis racket frame to the super

01:23:51alloys used in this 747 before we go back to Bloomington for sudden death we would like to

01:24:05straighten out that controversial punt by the Dallas Cowboys was there or was there not a

01:24:10fumble we have taken this angle back here in New York and slowed it down and you will see that the

01:24:16ball is touched but Irv cross contacted Irv reader now watch here is Bob Grimm number 26 he

01:24:23will touch the ball right here and some folks thought it was a fumble it is the momentum of

01:24:27the punt that carries it into the end zone reader said therefore it is not a free ball when it gets

01:24:33into the end zone it is a touchback the officials ruled correctly let's go back to Pat Summerall

01:24:39and Tom Brookshire we're in sudden death Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington Minnesota

01:24:47the Vikings won the toss and said we want the ball they're about to get it

01:24:54Herrera just missed that field goal shanks one high take it by Miller at the 18

01:25:03Robert Miller gets to the 30-yard line before he is swarmed on by Dallas special team led by

01:25:10Guy Brown gonna be interesting Pat to see if the Cowboys can now get it back to that intense edge

01:25:17again I thought the whole team sort of Wow inhaled and fell down when the kick didn't go and Minnesota

01:25:25has the ball first eight to five Dan Rather's watching you are right I'm sure first down

01:25:37Minnesota up there on 31st and 10 he gets the foreman took him down after about a four-yard

01:25:46pickup DeeDee Lewis help I just had a bunch of stats pushed down to me and they don't mean a

01:25:54single thing when it's all tied and you're going sudden death it starts from zero again just crank

01:26:00it back at the 35-yard line five-yard pickup by Foreman we have 14 minutes and 20 seconds left

01:26:09in sudden death overtime scores Dallas 10 Minnesota 10 the reverse wide open is Bob Graham I mean wide

01:26:22open Graham was so open Parkinson could not believe it he was down there in the Sun doing

01:26:33side straddle hops that's how open he was the flea flicker and that's the first time I can

01:26:39remember Minnesota ever pulling that off a double reverse and give it back to Fran talking to look

01:26:44at him look at Fran remember that Ram game we did up here last year yes Minnesota was down in a

01:26:51position to score the score was 10-10 and Ram linebacker Rick Kay intercepted a pass a lot of

01:27:00people asked Mr. Tarkenton why he threw that pass third and five situation at the Minnesota 35

01:27:06Tarkenton operating in the sunlight half his team in the shadows draw play Sammy Johnson

01:27:15down biking good block by McClanahan to sprung him

01:27:33here's the draw play number 33 gets good position tingle off does to defensive

01:27:42tackles for Dallas and now Larry Cole and Randy White get through a few not playing at the moment

01:27:47handoff Sammy Johnson to the 45

01:27:53second and seven situation Minnesota 13 minutes left in overtime 10-10

01:28:18Tarkenton on a sprint out looks right look then do it away intentional grounding is going to be

01:28:27called again this one will be more costly than the other one he sort of rolls this like he's

01:28:35got a grand on the hard eight what's the way Fran runs to the right it sets up and then just barely

01:28:41sees Harvey Martin coming when he does though talk about being able to there it is

01:28:47back go the Vikings intentional grounding lost it down offense number 10 third down

01:29:02so it'll be third at 22 that's a loss of a down that intentional grounding a weird percentage

01:29:10has cropped up there's so many stats coming out these days that the teams don't play as really as

01:29:15tight a defense in the prevent defense as they do in their normal defenses so third and long but

01:29:22Fran has a lot of room to throw in yeah he does what do you want to take a chance here with this

01:29:29much yardage to go would you throw it I couldn't get my arm back he's gonna throw he's chased by

01:29:36Larry Cole and he's down at the 20 again number 63 there is Neil Clabo Larry Coles made about one

01:29:47of those every game that I can never remember seeing or every quarter Neil Clabo with the

01:30:01ball at the 20 yard line Clabo standing back at the five Butch Johnson back alone for Dallas

01:30:08more than a hundred

01:30:16jacked it out about 60 minutes as we've seen in its entirety immediately following this game

01:30:24we're going to stay with this of course until it's over and 60 minutes we'll be sliding back

01:30:32a little bit you'll see it in Starbucks at the 31 how did he hang on Bobby Bryant 185 pounds and

01:30:48you've seen him come across the middle of course the people here have seen him catch the ball in

01:30:52the last few seconds to win the championship game right well watch this catch and I mean he's stuck

01:30:57coming across the middle that's the test I'll tell you Pearson is all by himself in that category and

01:31:03tough to look like he might be a little bit shaken but by the time he got back to the huddle he was

01:31:09okay and I look wide to the right first ten gallon Minnesota 31 Pearson again caught it again amazing

01:31:19Nate right on the coverage but Drew Pearson is something a little bit special watch this

01:31:25that's a 9-8 maybe a 10 talking to some of the Cowboys some of their representative yesterday

01:31:38and last night they were saying if we had to pick the most valuable player it would be number 88

01:31:48second and six the ball at the 26 Starbucks fails throws out the gold Golden Richards breaks a

01:31:54couple down to about 15 before they get him out of bounds Bobby Bryant good effort by

01:32:02Golden and Neely was out in front remember when they had to help him to the sidelines number 73

01:32:07James been produced by Bob Stenner as always who will directed by Tony Burnham superbly that's the

01:32:20rest of our group there been a heck of a way to start the year I'll tell you that 1010 Dallas

01:32:29Minnesota we're in overtime it looks like Herrera might get another chance new house to the nine

01:32:38Matt Blair was the first guy to hit him straight at the young tackle straight at James White number

01:32:4772 now that Dallas feeling is back in numero uno had better kick this one but he knows he was

01:32:57pulling them left a little bit when warming up at you and I were watching and I thought Dan Reeves

01:33:01was a little bit upset yeah I know he was like to welcome those of you who've been watching St.

01:33:06Louis and Denver to our overtime game here Dallas 10 Minnesota 10 it is second and four I believe

01:33:18and Dallas has called a timeout they only get two in this overtime period second and four

01:33:29going over to talk to Landry not much to say now

01:33:32America the beautiful she's big and she's free there's no place like her on this earth and

01:33:46they'll probably never be she's been a long time growing and she's moving right along

01:33:53gotta keep that beat going like the rhythm of a song we can't wait we can't wait for tomorrow

01:34:03we gotta save the houses that speak of yesterday we gotta work the land my friend in a new and

01:34:16better way the people at Alcor are working every day we will find the answers as aluminum shows

01:34:27the way we can't wait we can't wait for tomorrow Alcor can't wait 10 minutes 19 seconds left in

01:34:41overtime Dallas 10 Minnesota 10 there's a friend Herrera missed the 28-yard field goal with six

01:34:50seconds to go in regulation time second and four at the nine star but gives to Pearson who breaks

01:34:59one tackle broke out of the arms of Alan Page got back inside the nine down to about the eight

01:35:05Landry telling Butch Johnson what he wants done whatever you do don't do it wrong Jay Salvey

01:35:14comes in with Butch golden Richard is called back there is a friend Herrera no need to warm up now

01:35:24nope but there's no way to get loose anyway there's nowhere to go 10 10 33 the ball is at

01:35:36the 8th Starbucks gives to Pearson again Preston Pearson might have the first down on a great

01:35:43second effort it is a first down Dallas if anybody has given more than they had to give today it's

01:35:50been Preston Pearson I don't think he feels the pressure of Tony Dorsett because this guy has

01:35:55always been this way Pittsburgh uniform Baltimore uniform or whatever you get every single bit of

01:36:02him I'll tell you first down Cowboys nine minutes left in the overtime period Tom Landry walking

01:36:14along in front of the bench 60 minutes will be seen in its entirety immediately following this

01:36:19game we'll just slide the whole schedule back you'll see it all starbuck looking in the end

01:36:24zone gonna run not just all back 1610 the Cowboys prevail a playoff game on the very first weekend of

01:36:40the season I think he wanted to run with it all the way the end did not get out good coverage by

01:36:46Minnesota Blair comes up a fast linebacker you're looking at the man that went to the Naval Academy

01:36:53taken in himself up Periscope looks like he made it took it right over Jeff Seaman to score so

01:37:01Dallas and a tough struggle over Minnesota 16 to 10 I remind you again that 60 minutes will be seen

01:37:09in its entirety you just slide the whole schedule back we'll do that so that we could bring you

01:37:17Dallas 16 Minnesota 10 in sudden death what do you think I'm not going to make 14 of these I'll

01:37:24tell you that that's as much tension as you can have for a football game to start out the football
