00:00:00He used three different receivers on that drive that covered 80 yards and 11 plays.
00:00:05We wanted to highlight kind of an unusual thing here, a guy that maybe you don't notice
00:00:09that much, Darrell Johnston, the fullback.
00:00:12First we're going to show him as a receiver coming out of the backfield.
00:00:15He's number 48 here going right out in the flat.
00:00:17You're right.
00:00:18I think Darrell Johnston is the most overlooked player on this cowboy team.
00:00:22He's not a guy that extends plays and turns five-yard passes into 15-yard plays, but he
00:00:28makes plays like that.
00:00:30He's not catching the ball.
00:00:32He's going to throw a lead block.
00:00:33This time he throws it on number 90 Stowe, the middle linebacker, and that allows Lasek
00:00:38to pick up some yards.
00:00:40When you need a lead block for a touchdown run, you call on Darrell Johnston again.
00:00:46This time on 52 Wallerstedt, the middle linebacker, and Lasek follows him in.
00:00:50So he didn't carry the ball a lot in that drive, caught the passes, but he was the key
00:00:55in my mind to that touchdown.
00:00:58Darrell Johnston.
00:01:00So the cardinals will start the second half with a football.
00:01:04Trailing 10-0.
00:01:05I would have loved to have been in the locker room to hear what Joe Bugle had to say, trying
00:01:09to jump start his team, which I guess you wouldn't say they look, you know, without
00:01:14a lot of enthusiasm.
00:01:15Just got to give a lot of credit to Dallas.
00:01:17They just came out in that opening drive and took all the emotion out of this game.
00:01:20You're right.
00:01:21In Phoenix, the cardinal team, they are tired of being the redheaded stepchild of the NFC
00:01:26east.
00:01:27They are looking for anything to give them a lift here.
00:01:30They're hoping their quarterback, Steve burline, a lot of the free agents they got came from
00:01:35the NFC east.
00:01:36They got burline from the Dallas cowboys and Gary Clark from the redskins.
00:01:41It's up to him right now, Steve burline, to make something happen.
00:01:44The opening drive of each half is the most important one.
00:01:47It really sets the tone.
00:01:48Well, they had something going once, and then they had the drop pass by Derek Ware, which
00:01:52is going to be very big as you look back into this game.
00:01:54Eddie Murray kicking off to Johnny Bayley.
00:01:55Bayley will bring it out.
00:01:56Out to the 15, 20, and to the 22-yard line.
00:01:57So Bayley hasn't been able to make the big play that he did a week ago thus far, and
00:02:09Steve burline will come in in the first half, burline 9 of 12, 54 yards.
00:02:14You see the numbers.
00:02:16Very impressive first half.
00:02:17The thing that you forget in Dallas' first two losses, they still came out of those games
00:02:23as the number one passing team in the NFC, ahead of last year's pace.
00:02:29Right now, Phoenix with their own offensive problems from the 22, first to the back field.

00:10:38He's going to get it.
00:10:39He's going to get it.
00:10:40And Troy Aikman indicating it's offside, as Howard Rowe confirms, against Phoenix.
00:10:45So they'll have the first down by penalty.
00:10:54Offside.
00:10:55Number 79 defense.
00:10:56Five-yard penalty.
00:10:57First down.
00:10:58That's Keith Rucker.
00:10:59All 360 pounds of him.
00:11:02He's offside, you know, right?
00:11:04Can't be too subtle, can you?
00:11:06Yeah.
00:11:07Look at the play selection tonight by the Dallas Cowboys.
00:11:10Running the ball better.
00:11:11Yeah.
00:11:12Just having Emmitt on the sidelines helps, right?
00:11:15It must.
00:11:16You know, I mean, that dark cloud that the players were talking about has been lifted.
00:11:20First down 10.
00:11:21Troy Aikman on a play-action fake near sideline.
00:11:24Harper.
00:11:25And Harper comes up with a catch.
00:11:27Alvin Harper is having a big night for this Dallas team.
00:11:31That'll be a 41-yard gain just short of the 15.
00:11:36That is a great throw and a great catch.
00:11:40I mean, there's only a few guys who can throw this ball, have the arm strength.
00:11:44Elway, Marino, Troy Aikman.
00:11:46Because they had double coverage.
00:11:48First, you have to get off the line.
00:11:49You have to adjust like Alvin Harper has.
00:11:51Now, there's a safety coming over.
00:11:52That's Chuck Cecil.
00:11:53But it was a pump fake by Aikman.
00:11:55And then he drills it in front of the safety to an adjusting Alvin Harper.
00:12:00I tell you, Alvin Harper really played well.
00:12:02Well, they say he loves to go deep.
00:12:04Well, he did there.
00:12:05Here is Lassik.
00:12:06Lassik to the 10, to the outside, the 5, diving for the end zone.
00:12:10He did not get in.
00:12:12He did not get in, but what an effort by the rookie from Alabama.
00:12:1613-yard gain.
00:12:18They're going to mark it at the 2-yard line.
00:12:20And another very good lead block by Darrell Johnston, number 48 of the Cowboys.
00:12:26And he should be smiling, Lassik, when you're running behind blocks like he's going to get.
00:12:30Again, from 48 to fullback, Johnston.
00:12:34He's going full speed.
00:12:35Knows exactly who he's going to get.
00:12:37He takes out Stowe, knocks him off his feet.
00:12:40Chuck Cecil said he may not be Emmitt Smith when he was talking about Lassik,
00:12:44but he certainly isn't my Aunt Harriet either.
00:12:47He can run.
00:12:48Gene Stallings led him a year ago on the national championship team.
00:12:51Here he goes again, fighting for the goal line.
00:12:53And he has scored his second touchdown of the night.
00:12:58You will not see Emmitt Smith tonight.
00:13:00You will not play.
00:13:04Two-yard touchdown run.
00:13:07And Lassik, who scored from eight yards out back in the first quarter.
00:13:18The big 41-yard completion to Harper.
00:13:21Setting it up.
00:13:22First and goal.
00:13:23And now, that took only two minutes and four plays.
00:13:34Eddie Murray, point after attempt.
00:13:36And Dallas has a 17-0 lead.
00:13:40The Cowboys, the defending world champions.
00:13:44And they're celebrating like they did in Pasadena in the Super Bowl.
00:13:57Movie, Lonnie.
00:13:58Wow, I'm bringing you to Hollywood with me.
00:14:00Let's see the replay of the touchdown.
00:14:02What happened there?
00:14:03Oh, man.
00:14:04What were the plays that set it up, too?
00:14:06It was the play to Harper that set up the touchdown.
00:14:08Can you give us a little back-to-back there?
00:14:09What do you have?
00:14:10Man.
00:14:14Yeesh.
00:14:15Can I see the touchdown anyway?
00:14:19Time.
00:14:24Yeah.
00:14:26Lassik, not a bad football player.
00:14:28No.
00:14:29Hey, there's Mickey.
00:14:30There's Joey Mickey, 87.
00:14:33I thought he was in law school.
00:14:34No.
00:14:35Stepnowski.
00:14:36Run that thing, baby, for me again.
00:14:37Stepnowski.
00:14:38Steph.
00:14:3963.
00:14:40Bankston.
00:14:41Scottie.
00:14:45Gogan.
00:14:46Oh, man.
00:14:47It is Gogan, right?
00:14:48Yes, Kevin Gogan.
00:14:49So the interception, and they went 70 yards.
00:14:51What was the drive again?
00:15:01You going to take it?
00:15:02Sure.
00:15:03Yeah.
00:15:04Uh-huh.
00:15:05Thank you.
00:15:06Is that hell straight there?
00:15:07I think that's 2 and A, isn't it?
00:15:09Yeah, it's 2 and A.
00:15:10Oh, that's right.
00:15:11It is.
00:15:12That's right.
00:15:13Okay.
00:15:14And this offensive line for the Cowboys have really played well tonight.
00:15:17Watch what they do today.
00:15:18They actually seal off this whole side, and the run's going to come up.

00:16:27We got the 17.
00:16:28Right.
00:16:33You guys are typical fans.
00:16:35I want to tell you right now.
00:16:36You guys.
00:16:37It's embarrassing.
00:16:39Just embarrassing.
00:16:40I mean I thought it was work.
00:16:42Yes sir.
00:16:43Yeah.
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:45OK.
00:16:46There's a reason we have.
00:16:52You jinxed him.
00:16:53Oh you said you can't let anything bad happen here.
00:16:55No.
00:16:56I couldn't believe it.
00:16:57Negative play.
00:16:59Yes.
00:17:01That's your plan Pat.
00:17:02It's late.
00:17:03Here we go guys.
00:17:04Look at this.
00:17:06All right.
00:17:07Why is that plane not moving.
00:17:09The helmet cam is back.
00:17:24Surge there.
00:17:33Well.
00:17:35Well.
00:17:37M.P.P.
00:17:38Harper.
00:17:39You got to consider.
00:17:40Oh.
00:17:41He's the man.
00:17:42Darryl John.
00:17:43Look at this.
00:17:45So.
00:17:47It's going to be a big deal.
00:17:48Everybody.
00:17:50She said no.
00:17:51She's already married someone else.
00:18:00Gary Classic.
00:18:01Fourth round draft pick.
00:18:02A guy who was playing in the absence of Emmitt Smith.
00:18:04Having Emmitt on the sideline.
00:18:06Watching him perform and score two touchdowns.
00:18:08Put you in there.
00:18:09Yeah.
00:18:10Helmet cam is back.
00:18:12That's what he saw when he took it in for the second time.
00:18:14Looking through there.
00:18:16First down now for the Cardinals.
00:18:18Eight forty seven to go.
00:18:19Third quarter.
00:18:24Hand off.
00:18:25The garrison Hurst.
00:18:27Hurst fights his way out to the twenty seven yard line.
00:18:29Next week.
00:18:30We'll be.
00:18:32Bringing you a game way back near.
00:18:34The Hudson River in the New Jersey side.
00:18:36You're going to get that out.
00:18:38The New York Jets.
00:18:40Led by rejuvenated boomer size.
00:18:42And what big numbers he's put up the first two weeks.
00:18:44They were idle this week.
00:18:45They will host the New England Patriots.
00:18:47Silver Bullet Stadium show kicks things off at seven thirty
00:18:49Eastern.
00:18:50Game follows at eight.
00:18:51Sure to be with us.
00:18:52Says.
00:18:53Get to see Drew Bledsoe.
00:18:55You know I watched him play today.
00:18:56Drew Bledsoe.
00:18:57And even though the team lost by three points.
00:18:58This guy.
00:18:59He can play.
00:19:00He's going to be a star.
00:19:02Lost two games.
00:19:03Decided by field goals.
00:19:05Here's Berline.
00:19:06To Randall Hill.
00:19:07He's got it.
00:19:08Hill.
00:19:09Into the twenty yard line area.
00:19:10They're going to roll him down.
00:19:11He gets up and runs.
00:19:12Kevin Smith.
00:19:13Touched him.
00:19:14As they're going to mark it.
00:19:15At the sixteen.
00:19:16Fifty seven yards.
00:19:17To Randall Hill.
00:19:19Gary some guys have a first.
00:19:21An extra first.
00:19:22When the ball is in the air.
00:19:24Well this ball left Berline's hands.
00:19:26It didn't look.
00:19:27Like Randall Hill.
00:19:28Was going to be able to get there.
00:19:30But then he sees it.
00:19:31He turns it on.
00:19:32Right there.
00:19:33And then he did a pretty smart thing.
00:19:35He got up.
00:19:36And ran it in.
00:19:37Now he was out of bounds.
00:19:38They called him down.
00:19:39But it was a little burst.
00:19:40As soon as he saw the ball.
00:19:42And you know.
00:19:43They've been looking for a spark.
00:19:44All day.
00:19:45And they've gotten one right now.
00:19:46From Randall Hill.
00:19:48That's their longest completion.
00:19:49Of the year.
00:19:50First down at the sixteen.
00:19:56Quick slam.
00:19:57Complete to Gary Clark.
00:19:59And pretty good coverage again.
00:20:00This time by Kevin Smith.
00:20:01They move Clark to this side.
00:20:03Getting away from Larry Brown.
00:20:04Yeah.
00:20:05Who's covered him so well.
00:20:06But Clark that time.
00:20:07Didn't get a lot on that play.
00:20:09As good coverage again.
00:20:10By the Cowboys.
00:20:11That'll bring up a second down.
00:20:12And still six yards to go.
00:20:14And when you think about.
00:20:15The Cardinals.
00:20:16You have to also think about.
00:20:17The Cowboys in offense.
00:20:19They get you know.
00:20:20Really spread around.
00:20:21With Novacek.
00:20:22And Johnson.
00:20:23And the two wide receivers.
00:20:24Right now the Cardinals are looking.
00:20:25For that third receiver.
00:20:26And they got Ricky Prohl.
00:20:27But they need a tight end.
00:20:28Or a back really.
00:20:29To take some pressure off.
00:20:30Gary Clark.
00:20:31They need to get on the scoreboard.
00:20:32Trailing 17 to nothing.
00:20:34Berline.
00:20:35They get a lot of time.
00:20:36Deep in the corner.
00:20:37Ricky Prohl.
00:20:38Diving catch.
00:20:39Touchdown.
00:20:40Phoenix.
00:20:42Maybe we'll see Emmitt Smith.
00:20:45Maybe he will come back.
00:20:48That's a heck of a drive.
00:20:50You know.
00:20:51They said about Steve Berline.
00:20:53He's got a lot of confidence.
00:20:55A lot of things have gone badly.
00:20:56For the Cardinals.
00:20:57In the first half of this game.
00:20:58But he hung in there.
00:20:59And he hung in there.
00:21:01Through a deep ball to Randall Hill.
00:21:03And he cuts back to Ricky Prohl.
00:21:08So the Cardinals getting up.
00:21:10Off the floor here.
00:21:11To score quickly.
00:21:12The big strike.
00:21:13A 57 yarder.
00:21:15And then.
00:21:16The 12 yard touchdown pass.
00:21:18Drake Davis.
00:21:19To attempt the point after.
00:21:20Out of the hole to Berline.
00:21:2417-7.
00:21:25The Cardinals now.
00:21:26Have gotten on the scoreboard.
00:21:28Gary.
00:21:29This is a perfectly executed pass.
00:21:30Here's Hill.
00:21:31He runs a hook route.
00:21:32The corner comes here.
00:21:33So Prohl.
00:21:34Then has plenty of room.
00:21:35To run the corner route.
00:21:37See when Larry Brown comes up.
00:21:38To cover Hill.
00:21:40It creates an open area there.
00:21:42For Prohl to get back to the end zone.
00:21:44Prohl knew where he was.
00:21:45Didn't he?
00:21:55We may have a game yet.
00:21:56Huh?
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Isn't that nice?
00:22:00Isn't that nice?
00:22:01Good for.
00:22:02Good for the card.
00:22:04You go.
00:22:05It's Fritz Schirmer.
00:22:06Yeah.
00:22:08I'll tell you this.
00:22:09Yeah.
00:22:10This could change it.
00:22:11He's a determined guy.
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:13Take that stuff.
00:22:14Yeah.
00:22:15He's a determined son of a gun.
00:22:16Isn't he?
00:22:18A little rhythmic applause here.
00:22:21What are you going to show guys?
00:22:23That's good stuff.
00:22:24You want to come out with Hugo?
00:22:26And then Berline.
00:22:27I'll set you up.
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:29Yeah.
00:22:32That was 57.
00:22:33Right?
00:22:34For Hill.
00:22:3557.
00:22:48Yeah.
00:23:01Phoenix has scored and the Cardinals emotionally now seem to be back into this football game.
00:23:07We have some determined coaches and players.
00:23:15And fans.
00:23:18Greg Davis kicking off.
00:23:19It's going to be Kevin Williams, the rookie out of Miami.
00:23:22Up across the 10 to the 15.
00:23:24A flag is thrown as he breaks the tackle and to the 23.
00:23:28And here comes yet another flag.
00:23:30Quick strike that time to the Cardinals.
00:23:32Four plays and 77 yards.
00:23:35Earlier you might remember Dallas went four plays and 70 yards.
00:23:38So two quick strike offenses here in the third quarter.
00:23:41There was a clip on the run back.
00:23:44Block in the back by Bobby Abrams.
00:23:48That's exactly what Howard Rowe is backing up.
00:23:53This crowd is starting to get into it again now.
00:23:56They've been very quiet since the opening drive of the game.
00:24:00Evan Smith is coming in.
00:24:07It's funny.
00:24:08As soon as they score, the reflection of the game changed.
00:24:14So now they start with their worst field position of the night.
00:24:19From the six.
00:24:20And Evan Smith.
00:24:21Back to back.
00:24:23The NFL rushing champion comes in.
00:24:25Gained over 1700 yards last year.
00:24:28Two years ago.
00:24:29A career high 182 yards against the Cardinals.
00:24:40Aikman throwing from the goal line.
00:24:42Comes out and makes a connection.
00:24:45This is Michael Irvin stepping out of bounds.
00:24:47And picking up a first down and an 11 yard gain on the play.
00:24:51That's only 11 yards, Gary.
00:24:52But that's a beautiful play.
00:24:53First of all, it takes some pressure off.
00:24:55You get a team that just scores on you.
00:24:57The momentum is going the other way.
00:24:59You come in and you fake Emmitt to Emmitt Smith.
00:25:02And you have a perfectly timed out route to Michael Irvin.
00:25:06Like I said, only 11 yards.
00:25:07But in significance, a lot longer play than that.
00:25:11Aikman 12 of 14.
00:25:12206 yards passage.
00:25:15Here he goes.
00:25:16His first carry of the year.
00:25:17Emmitt Smith.
00:25:19And the crowd reacting to that.
00:25:21As Keith Rucker was there first to make the stop.
00:25:25This crowd realizing now the number 22 has entered the football game.
00:25:30With Emmitt Smith, it always starts with his eyes.
00:25:34And he sees things.
00:25:35He has a feel for players.
00:25:37Where his blockers are going to be.
00:25:39And where defenders are going to end up.
00:25:45Pick up on the play.
00:25:47Five yards.
00:25:48Second and five.
00:25:56Aikman back again.
00:25:59That plays it to Johnston.
00:26:01Johnston, Bulldog down at the 30.
00:26:03Another first down.
00:26:04Lorenzo Lynch was the first there.
00:26:06A lot of white shirts had to wrestle down this former Syracuse standout.
00:26:10What the cowboys have on the field right now are as many playmakers as anybody in football.
00:26:16Including the 49ers.
00:26:18We have a man down for the cardinals.
00:26:24We'll check the injury.
00:26:25We're going to take a break.
00:26:27457 left to go in this third quarter.
00:26:30First down when we come back.
00:26:37That is a nice rebound.
00:26:39Run that one back.
00:26:40It's Davis.
00:26:41It's down.
00:26:42Darryl Johnston got a couple of hands in the face there, didn't he?
00:26:47Is he out?
00:26:49He looked over.
00:26:50His fingers moved there for a minute.
00:26:53It was just the end of it.
00:26:57He got racked.
00:26:58See his head?
00:27:01No, it isn't.
00:27:02Come back with that.
00:27:04I like it.
00:27:05What is that?
00:27:07Who is that guy?
00:27:10That's Lorenzo Lynch.
00:27:11It's Lynch.
00:27:12It's Lynch.
00:27:15And Jones.
00:27:18Are you going to come back with that?
00:27:19Okay, good.
00:27:21I like that.
00:27:22Don't get a big enough face mask to keep him.
00:27:25That's right, man.
00:27:26You take it.
00:27:27But Davis wouldn't even.
00:27:28He took it.
00:27:29Did you see the collision?
00:27:30He had a big collision here.
00:27:31It may have just knocked him silly.
00:27:34Beautiful setting here.
00:27:35So you're coming out with that replay?
00:27:42Thank you.
00:27:47If Ernie throws it to you.
00:27:49I'll set it up now.
00:27:50And we'll go.
00:27:52Just give me a generic.
00:27:58We hear the commercial.
00:27:59Yeah, I got it.
00:28:03I got it.
00:28:05Oh, my God.
00:28:06Oh, my God.
00:28:07Oh, my God.
00:28:08Oh, my God.
00:28:31It looks like a Pat Hayden play to me.
00:28:35Now, here in the great southwest.
00:28:37Valley of the Sun.
00:28:38Tempe, Arizona.
00:28:39First down now for the Cowboys.
00:28:41After that catch by Johnston.
00:28:44442 left in the third.
00:28:46Aikman.
00:28:48Complete to Johnston again.
00:28:49And Johnston will be run out by Aeneas Williams.
00:28:52We talked about Johnston on that previous catch.
00:28:55What's the end of this play?
00:28:57The complexion of this game has certainly changed.
00:29:01I mean, he's going to get a handful of Cardinals.
00:29:06As Lynch and Mike Jones.
00:29:08And really, you know, the Cardinals needed an attitude adjustment.
00:29:12You know, their offense started with a touchdown.
00:29:15And their defense has begun to make some plays.
00:29:17And now it's up to Troy Aikman to keep it going here for the Cowboys.
00:29:20Dana Bate on that last play.
00:29:22Reuben Davis.
00:29:23Up and off the field a while ago.
00:29:26Hicks comes to number 22.
00:29:28And Emmitt Smith is still going.
00:29:31Inside the 50.
00:29:34Well, you would never know.
00:29:35This is his first time to touch a football since the Super Bowl.
00:29:39That's a 12-yard run.
00:29:41You know, he is an amazing player.
00:29:43In that he is a nifty, shifty kind of runner that can break tackles.
00:29:50A lot of guys will try to outrun you.
00:29:51Some guys are bulls.
00:29:53But he can do both.
00:29:55And he doesn't stop.
00:29:56And you're right.
00:29:57He hasn't worn a football uniform since January.
00:30:00First down.
00:30:01They're going to mark it on top of the 50.
00:30:04Aikman.
00:30:05Pressure coming from Freddie Joe now.
00:30:06Complete to Smith.
00:30:07And Smith is tackled very nicely in the open field by Lorenzo Lynch.
00:30:11But you see how strong Smith was?
00:30:12Even though Lynch made the stop, he fell forward and got a couple of more yards on the play.
00:30:17In one game last year, Emmitt Smith caught 11 passes against the Cardinals.
00:30:21Caught 59 on the year.
00:30:24And we began to talk about all the weapons they have on the field.
00:30:27Now, playmakers.
00:30:28Emmitt Smith.
00:30:29Jay Novacek.
00:30:30Michael Irvin.
00:30:31Alvin Harper.
00:30:32Troy Aikman.
00:30:33And again, they and the 49ers have more guys on offense that can break games open than anybody else in the league.
00:30:40Second down and seven.
00:30:42Of 36 passes in this game, only six in completions for Troy Aikman.
00:30:48Hand off.
00:30:51Emmitt Smith.
00:30:52And Smith will go out of bounds at the 42-yard line.
00:30:56Lorenzo Lynch over there to knock him out.
00:30:58And Emmitt Smith getting a tune-up.
00:31:02They'll have a bye next week.
00:31:04And then they'll play Green Bay.
00:31:06But you know he was anxious to get in and acquit himself well.
00:31:10You know, his feet take him where his eyes see and feel.
00:31:14I mean, he's got good enough feet to get him there, to get to the hole.
00:31:17I mean, you just can't arm tackle the guy.
00:31:19He's not going to go down easily.
00:31:21And really, the yards after contact, I think, make him a very unique player.
00:31:25Let me correct something.
00:31:26That was the quarterbacks combined on the 36 passes and only six in completions.
00:31:30Garrett Gaynor now is coming to the backfield.
00:31:33Aikman.
00:31:34Quick slot.
00:31:35Completion to Harper.
00:31:36That's his sixth catch of the night.
00:31:38Let's check that again.
00:31:40Getting up underneath the pile.
00:31:42On the far side, it's Michael Irvin.
00:31:44And Irvin with the first down grab.
00:31:46They needed two and he got four.
00:31:48You know, it's interesting.
00:31:49When the cowboys went up 17 to nothing, I think Jimmie Johnson was saying he will keep Emmitt Smith out.
00:31:55But when the Cardinals put the 7 on, they said, hey, let's get him in.
00:31:59He could lift the team, which he clearly did on a couple of runs, and give him a couple of hits.
00:32:03A couple of pops.
00:32:05Get him ready for a bye week and then on for Green Bay.
00:32:08They say the cloud has been lifted.
00:32:10First down now from the 36.5.
00:32:13Derek Lassett now is in the backfield.
00:32:16Here comes Lassett.
00:32:17And Lassett will begin tackling inside the 35.
00:32:20Eric Swann there first.
00:32:221.33 left here in the third quarter.
00:32:24The cowboys up 17 to 7.
00:32:26This is an opportunity for the cowboy defense really to assert themselves and make something happen.
00:32:31But if you do so, you're going to have to take care of Nate Newton, number 61.
00:32:35I mean, there's some big bodies.
00:32:37Newton's 3.03.
00:32:38Rucker's 3.60.
00:32:41Well, they averaged 319 pounds in that big nickel up front.
00:32:44They call them the young guns.
00:32:48Second down and 7 yards to go.
00:32:52They never started with the 6-yard line.
00:32:54And it's almost intercepted by Lorenzo Lynch.
00:32:58Got to make those plays if you're going to beat the cowboys and step up, Gary.
00:33:02They said, hey, the cardinals, this is a great opportunity for them to really get over the hump.
00:33:08You know, finally win a big game at home early in the season.
00:33:11And Lorenzo, good play by Lynch, good coverage.
00:33:14But he has a chance to catch it and perhaps score.
00:33:19And Novacek on Booney.
00:33:22Fakes him out.
00:33:24Getting held.
00:33:26And tripped.
00:33:27Can't do much more than that, can you?
00:33:29That's a mugging in the first sense of the word.
00:33:31Trifecta there.
00:33:32Third down and 7.
00:33:37Aikman double pumping under pressure.
00:33:39And the ball is up incomplete.
00:33:42Harper almost made a touchdown catch.
00:33:45Lynch was there.
00:33:46They were fighting for it in the very extreme corner of the end zone.
00:33:49A great play by Lorenzo Lynch that time.
00:33:52Because I thought Harper caught it for a moment.
00:33:54And right at the last second while it was in Harper's hands, Lorenzo Lynch knocks it away.
00:34:01I mean, Lynch almost has an interception to play before.
00:34:04And they come back.
00:34:06Give another chance.
00:34:07They're working on him.
00:34:09Caught for a moment.
00:34:10And Lynch just interferes with Harper enough so that he can't make the catch.
00:34:14Aikman.
00:34:16Unusual view of that play.
00:34:17This will be a 50-yard field goal attempt by Eddie Murray.
00:34:20A kick on the way.
00:34:21It's very low.
00:34:22And the kick is no good.
00:34:25So Murray does not add to the Cowboys' advantage.
00:34:2948 seconds left in the third quarter.
00:34:32Dallas on top by 10.
00:34:44Well, I tell you what.
00:34:45They're still alive.
00:34:48But you're right about Lynch.
00:34:49You know, gosh, you picked that one off the other way six points.
00:34:53Who got it?
00:34:54No, I guess it didn't.
00:34:55Did it not get touched?
00:34:56It just didn't look good, did it?
00:34:59No.
00:35:02Okay.
00:35:06Shake you very much.
00:35:12Boy, this is a terrific play here.
00:35:13Yeah.
00:35:14I mean, this is as good as it gets.
00:35:19He is back.
00:35:20Alvin Harper has made a season full of plays today, hadn't he?
00:35:23Well, Lynch got it on the way down.
00:35:32Right.
00:35:33Then he gets it on his left arm.
00:35:37On the left arm.
00:35:38What?
00:35:45Lynch did a nice job of just knocking the left arm out of Alvin Harper out of the way.
00:35:50Yeah.
00:35:51So are we coming out on replays or what?
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:55You're good.
00:36:00Leave the kick alone.
00:36:02Take it?
00:36:03Yep.
00:36:09One more look at the knockaway by Lorenzo Lynch, number 29.
00:36:13Alvin Harper jumps up.
00:36:15Watch.
00:36:16He knocks the left arm of Harper out of the way.
00:36:19And that forces the bobble.
00:36:21Otherwise, that's a touchdown.
00:36:22But Harper has really adjusted well tonight, Gary.
00:36:26And, again, that's what he's done well at the end of last season.
00:36:30Lynch made two big plays on that series.
00:36:32And then the missed field goal.
00:36:34And the Cardinals have it at the 33.
00:36:36Garrison Hurst in the back field.
00:36:40Merlin setting up a screen to Hurst.
00:36:42And he's knocked down immediately.
00:36:44That's Haley again, Charles Haley, who runs so very well.
00:36:48So explosive.
00:36:50And that time reading the screen.
00:36:52And they lose a yard on the play.
00:36:54Second down, 11.
00:36:55He is like, you know, almost a center fielder.
00:36:58I mean, he just closes on plays.
00:37:00When he's near the quarterback, he puts it in another gear.
00:37:03And he'll reach out and grab him, cause a fumble.
00:37:05There it's a little screen pass.
00:37:07He felt it.
00:37:08He saw it.
00:37:09He saw the tackle was giving him too much ground.
00:37:11And then he makes the play in the screen play.
00:37:13Coming down to the final seconds of the third quarter.
00:37:16Second down, 11.
00:37:22In motion.
00:37:23Third line.
00:37:25Dropped.
00:37:26And that's Proll.
00:37:27The sure-handed Ricky Proll, who's made three important catches.
00:37:30One for a touchdown.
00:37:32And that'll bring up now a third down and 11 with those seconds,
00:37:36three remaining in the third quarter.
00:37:38Even though the Cardinals have narrowed the gap, we've seen two drop balls.
00:37:42One by Lynch on the interception.
00:37:44That may have been a touchdown.
00:37:45And then that one by Ricky Proll, which would have put him in third,
00:37:48probably two or three, rather than 11.
00:37:52So a third and 11 coming up now for the Cardinals from the 32-yard line.
00:38:01Johnny Bailey in the backfield.
00:38:03They go to their posse offense, three wideouts.
00:38:07Over the middle, Gary Clark.
00:38:09Clark on a third and 11 gets the first down.
00:38:11He's still fighting for yardage.
00:38:13They're going to mark the ball at the 47 of Dallas.
00:38:1621-yard game, and that is the end of the third quarter,
00:38:20and the Cardinals are very much alive in this football game.
00:38:24They're down by 10, but you see the emotion starting to shift
00:38:28before the sellout crowd in Sun Devil Stadium.
00:38:32You ought to be ashamed.

00:38:51It was.
00:38:52It was.
00:38:53It was.
00:38:54It was.
00:38:55It was.
00:38:56It was.
00:38:57It was.
00:38:58It was.
00:38:59It was.
00:39:00It was.
00:39:01You have a replay of that car catcher for me?
00:39:06Yeah, let's get that disclaimer in.
00:39:10Don't let the commercials get in the way of the game.
00:39:12Don't let the game get in the way of the commercials.
00:39:14Something like that.
00:39:15Yeah, hello.
00:39:16Testing.
00:39:17All right.
00:39:26Oh, man.
00:39:27Oh, man.
00:39:28I tell you, I can see why Skip wanted to go to baseball.
00:39:33You're a knucklehead.
00:39:39Oh, yeah.
00:39:40I forgot to tell you about that.
00:39:42It cost a lot.
00:39:43It really did.
00:39:44I'll be indebted forever.
00:39:48We're doing fine.
00:39:49I'm put up with a lot of abuse again from my partner here.
00:39:53Well, you know, they're too much into this.

00:40:09and is intended for the private use of our audience.
00:40:12Any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast
00:40:15without the expressed written consent of the Phoenix Cardinals
00:40:18and the National Football League
00:40:21Gary Bender, Pat Hayden.
00:40:23We start the fourth quarter.
00:40:24The Cardinals, who trailed in this ballgame 17 to nothing,
00:40:28have cut it to 10.
00:40:29They now have the ball at the Dallas 47-yard line
00:40:33after that 21-yard completion to Gary Clark.
00:40:37They go to the three wideouts again of Clark, Kroll, and Hill.
00:40:43Fade to black.
00:40:44They go to the three wideouts again of Clark, Kroll, and Hill.
00:40:49Bailey in the backfield.
00:40:57Johnny Bailey makes a nice first move,
00:40:59and he's going to get some yardage.
00:41:01He's to the 40-yard line.
00:41:02He made that first man miss,
00:41:04and Terrence Woodson over there eventually made the tackle.
00:41:07Yeah, that was Kenneth Gant was the first guy,
00:41:10and, boy, did he make a miss
00:41:11because Kenneth Gant was like, I don't know, shot out of a cannon.
00:41:15He came, woof, off the corner.
00:41:22And Bailey, here's Gant, and he's going to come right there,
00:41:25but Bailey puts a little move on him and hops outside.
00:41:30Make the first guy miss or inside.
00:41:32Make the first guy miss, and you've got a chance.
00:41:33Picked up seven, second and three.
00:41:35Misdirection.
00:41:36Bailey with the first down run.
00:41:38So they've gone now to what they call the three wideout package
00:41:42with Bailey in the backfield,
00:41:44and it's been their most successful formation,
00:41:46especially in this second half.
00:41:48First down, Phoenix.
00:41:49It was last week against the Redskins.
00:41:51Bailey had some big plays last week in the nickel package.
00:41:54Turned a punt for a touchdown, too,
00:41:56but nickel runs in one of the real areas of improvement
00:41:59for the Cardinals this year.
00:42:01Now, again, they're in field goal range.
00:42:03We said it before, Gary, no negative plays by the Cardinals.
00:42:0913.50 left in the game.
00:42:19Berline, pressure in his face, gets rid of it.
00:42:21Randall Hill makes the catch.
00:42:23Just missed the first down as he went out of bounds,
00:42:25and Randall Hill showing the quickness.
00:42:27A 92.
00:42:28He was second in the NFL's fastest man competition,
00:42:32and he picks up nine yards on that play.
00:42:35That was a heck of a throw and nice timing there
00:42:38by Steve Berline, and Randall Hill,
00:42:40as soon as he got his head around,
00:42:42I mean, his head came around, the ball was there,
00:42:45and he made a very nice catch.
00:42:46They need a yard, second and a yard to go.
00:42:56Bailey again to get it, and Bailey does just that.
00:42:58So they go to a smaller back,
00:43:00and Bailey only weighs 190 pounds.
00:43:03They've earlier had Garrison Hurst and Ron Moore,
00:43:06the big backs, but with Bailey in there,
00:43:08he's been very effective.
00:43:10As they unpile down there, they have the first down.
00:43:15The Cardinals down 17-7.
00:43:18Trying to establish some credibility.
00:43:21This is a game that they consider to be the biggest game
00:43:23they've had in their six years here in the Valley of the Sun.
00:43:27And the Cowboys, they don't want to go 0-3 before the bye.
00:43:34The Blitz is coming.
00:43:36Berline to Clark, nice move at the 15,
00:43:39and Clark to the 10.
00:43:41The Blitz was from the top of the field.
00:43:44Berline read it, hit on the near side Clark,
00:43:47an 11-yard pickup.
00:43:49When Gary Clark is on, he can extend plays.
00:43:52Good read on the Blitz,
00:43:54but he should have been tackled there.
00:43:56A good move, gets through two defenders,
00:43:58but it's a hustle, and a foul.
00:44:00A good move, gets through two defenders,
00:44:02but it's a hustling Tony Tolbert,
00:44:04who lined up his left defensive end,
00:44:06who really made the tackle.
00:44:08The hustle by Tolbert may have prevented a touchdown by Clark.
00:44:11Just outside the 10, first down.
00:44:14Inside, 12 minutes left in the game.
00:44:20Bailey again.
00:44:21Bailey takes it to the 6.
00:44:23It'll be second down there.
00:44:25They can get a first and goal just inside the 1-yard line.
00:44:29Two straight plays, the Dallas defense has blitzed.
00:44:32Once they audibled it,
00:44:34that time they tried to run a little lead draw
00:44:36against the Blitz with Bailey.
00:44:38They hoped he was going to pop through the first wave,
00:44:40but he still did pick up 4 or 5 yards.
00:44:46Second down, 6 for a first down.
00:44:51Bailey again in the backfield, 3 wideouts.
00:44:55Burr line to Bailey.
00:44:57Bailey inside the 5, moving the pile a little bit.
00:45:00It'll be third down, and still a long 2 for a first and goal.
00:45:05You know, the Cardinals over the last 2 years,
00:45:07including this past week, have had trouble in short yards.
00:45:11You know, opening drive against the Redskins,
00:45:13they couldn't knock it in.
00:45:15A year ago against Philadelphia,
00:45:16I think they had 7 plays inside the 3-yard line,
00:45:19couldn't get it in.
00:45:21Third down and 2.
00:45:23They can get again a first and goal just inside the 1.
00:45:27They're not even going into a short yardage offense.
00:45:29They're spreading out.
00:45:31Larry Sanders comes into the backfield along with Bailey.
00:45:35Burr line looking in zone, broken up.
00:45:39A pass in 10 of a Ricky Prole.
00:45:41He had double coverage.
00:45:43It's a fourth down.
00:45:44Darren Woodson was there, number 28.
00:45:47I thought that was a pretty good throw by Burr line,
00:45:49who was patient, felt the blitz, felt the pressure,
00:45:52but hung on to it.
00:45:54Just hung in there, hung in there,
00:45:55was waiting for Prole to come open.
00:46:00Oh, yeah, that could have been interference there by Woodson
00:46:03because the ball was in the air.
00:46:06Right as Prole was trying to make a move on it.
00:46:08And then he called for the interference.
00:46:10I think he should have gotten it.
00:46:14Greg Davis now to attempt the field goal.
00:46:16This will be a 20-yarder.
00:46:20Davis' kick is on the way, and they've whittled the lead.
00:46:2617-10.
00:46:28After trailing by 17, they're now down by 7 points.
00:46:34I'd like to see that again, too.
00:46:39We need an overtime.
00:46:40I want Pat to stay over tonight.
00:46:43Can I see that interference again?
00:46:47Yeah, the Prole play.
00:46:48Was it interference?
00:46:49What do you guys think?
00:46:51Show it to me again, please.
00:46:53Have some water, please.
00:46:57You know, I don't know.
00:46:58That looks a little more legit, doesn't it?
00:47:00That angle.
00:47:01What do you think?
00:47:02Okay.
00:47:05As opposed to what?
00:47:06Pretty low?
00:47:07Show that one.
00:47:08That's not interference.
00:47:09He's trying to catch the ball.
00:47:11This angle gives Woodson a better case, I think.
00:47:13Yeah.
00:47:14As they would say, as the Barristers would say.
00:47:17Okay, he's taking it out of bounds.
00:47:19He's trying to catch the ball.
00:47:20He's trying to catch the ball.
00:47:22As they would say, as the Barristers would say.
00:47:25Okay, he's taking it out of the break, and then we got this?
00:47:27Okay.
00:47:32I'd like to come back to it, though.
00:47:36He got a kickoff.
00:47:39Yeah.
00:47:40Heads up just for...
00:47:42Okay, heads up for the onside kick, just in case here, Lonnie.
00:47:45They lined up, you know, all these guys.
00:47:47They respected it.
00:47:50Is that right?
00:47:51Is that?
00:47:52That's interesting.
00:47:53Thank you.
00:47:54I thought only the third position, second half for Dallas.
00:47:57No, what you said is not...
00:48:00Oh, great.
00:48:07All right.
00:48:1017-10, and Greg Davis to kickoff.
00:48:13Let's go back and look at the Woodson-Proll collision at the goal line.
00:48:16Yeah, we thought maybe it was interference, but you look at it in this angle,
00:48:19it looks like Woodson is making a play for the ball,
00:48:22and he has just as much an opportunity to catch it as Proll,
00:48:25so on that look, it's not interference by Woodson.
00:48:28He has an opportunity to make the play there.
00:48:30So they settle for the 20-yard field goal,
00:48:33and Davis, would he try an onside here?
00:48:35I know Dallas has had this happen before.
00:48:38He's going to kick away.
00:48:42Kevin Williams in the end zone, and he decides,
00:48:44I'm not going to come out of there.
00:48:47So it's a 20-yard line.
00:48:49Dallas has set it up, and we'll have a stadium show, post-game show,
00:48:53and talk about it.
00:48:54Here's Bob Neal.
00:48:56Thank you, Gary.
00:48:57Well, with Phoenix coming back here,
00:48:58we've got ourselves an excellent ball game at Sun Devil Stadium.
00:49:01Right after the game, join Anthony Munoz, our special guest analyst.
00:49:04Kevin Kiley and me will be talking to the stars of this game,
00:49:08and also there are four teams who have gone to 3-0 in the NFL.
00:49:12Some surprises there.
00:49:14More lights and a lot more on the stadium show right after the game.
00:49:17Okay, Bob, thank you.
00:49:18This is only the third possession in the second half for Dallas,
00:49:21and yet they have 338 yards in total offense.
00:49:27Play action by Aikman.
00:49:28Aikman, that ball deflected and incomplete.
00:49:32Somebody at the line of scrimmage, I think that was Warren Bankston.
00:49:35That's who it was who got a hand on it.
00:49:37Michael Bankston reaching up and batting the ball out of play.
00:49:42The defensive guys have to make some plays now.
00:49:45You don't have to necessarily just sack the quarterback.
00:49:47Make a play like that.
00:49:48Tip the ball, and that's just what Bankston did.
00:49:51What were you saying?
00:49:52Fullbacks are always open.
00:49:53He was open there, too.
00:49:54Fullbacks, they never cover fullbacks in professional football.
00:49:57Second down, 10 for the 20.
00:50:03And some movement.
00:50:07And we'll have to see if Bankston was drawn off on that.
00:50:12Dallas is backing up as though they're anticipating a five-yard penalty.
00:50:20Prior to the snap, we've got a false start.
00:50:22Number 61 off the end.
00:50:24Five-yard.
00:50:25Gary Bob Beal was mentioning those 3-0 teams.
00:50:27Two of them now in the NFC East.
00:50:30I mean, so Jimmy Johnson is thinking about, hey,
00:50:32you lose this when you fall three behind the Giants in Philadelphia.
00:50:36He's not intending to lose this one, but that's what's at stake here tonight.
00:50:41Second and 15 now for Dallas.
00:50:43Novacek in motion.
00:50:46Aikman.
00:50:47Got time.
00:50:48Up the field.
00:50:49Complete.
00:50:50The catch is made by Michael Irvin, and they've got the first down they needed.
00:50:53Troy Aikman hangs into the pocket so well.
00:50:57And, you know, when you have a guy like Michael Irvin on one side
00:51:01and Harper on the other, it lets you hang in the pocket.
00:51:05I mean, they've done a wonderful job.
00:51:07Norv Turner, the offensive coordinator, just done a spectacular job of passing it around.
00:51:11Harper to Irvin to Johnson.
00:51:13Hasn't featured Novacek much, but the other guys have really been a factor.
00:51:18The go-to guy, Michael Irvin, comes up with the grab.
00:51:21First down at the 34.
00:51:24Emmitt Smith in the backfield.
00:51:26Emmitt trying to find someplace to go and gets to the 35 for a gain of a yard.
00:51:32He's swaddled up that time.
00:51:34The Cardinal defense showing a lot of enthusiasm.
00:51:36This guy, Rucker, up and cheering.
00:51:38All 360 pounds of him.
00:51:40The young guns are fired up right now.
00:51:44There's absolutely no place for Emmitt Smith to go.
00:51:47I mean, they call it their big nickel because they have some big bodies in there.
00:51:50It's Swan at 295 and Rucker at 360.
00:51:54They've got some big guys inside.
00:51:57Gain of a yard.
00:51:58Second and nine now for the 35.
00:52:0017-10 Dallas.
00:52:028.58 left in the game.
00:52:08Novacek comes in motion.
00:52:10Emmitt trying to get someplace to go.
00:52:12Got maybe a yard or two at the most.
00:52:14It's third down.
00:52:15Jamming it up inside was Eric Swann again.
00:52:19Swann, who has really come on to be an outstanding pick for this team.
00:52:24They were criticized, the Cardinals were, when they picked him in the first round back in 91
00:52:28with no collegiate background.
00:52:31He didn't come out for this play.
00:52:33Six tackles tonight for Eric Swann.
00:52:40There's the history of the Cardinals, or I should say the Cowboys.
00:52:431960, their first year in existence.
00:52:4589 the year they won one in 15.
00:52:49Aikman back.
00:52:51He throws as he's hit.
00:52:52Almost got it done.
00:52:53He was really nailed when he released the ball.
00:52:56He's getting up slowly.
00:52:58That was Steve Lofton on the deflection.
00:53:00Almost came up with the interception.
00:53:01Fourth down, Dallas.
00:53:03One of the very few times they really gave Troy Aikman a tough time before he was ready to throw it.
00:53:09It was Mike Jones, number 75, who hit him.
00:53:12But again, another chance.
00:53:13Steve Lofton has a chance there to make a play.
00:53:16Doesn't quite good defense, but you turn the ball over and you get a run back,
00:53:20and you're in field goal range already.
00:53:23Aikman, who was knocked out by the Cardinals his rookie year on a blitz.
00:53:27Pretty good punishment that time.
00:53:29Jet to punt the ball.
00:53:33Taking it away from Johnny Bailey.
00:53:35Bailey's going to return this one at the 25 and gets a yard,
00:53:39and that's good coverage again by the Cowboys.
00:53:42Flying down there for the Cowboys was Darren Smith, the rookie out of Miami.
00:53:4838-yard punt, one-yard return.
00:53:51The Cardinals with the football.
00:53:57♪♪♪
00:54:02Crowd's into it now.
00:54:07Crowd's into it a little bit.
00:54:09They're doing some business.
00:54:10They're doing some business on the left side.
00:54:12Oh, golly.
00:54:13Look at this guy.
00:54:14A little popcorn out like a popcorn out of a battleship.
00:54:17Yeah.
00:54:18What's this guy's problem?
00:54:20He's your neighbor.
00:54:21What do you mean?
00:54:22Wow.
00:54:24Give us a shot of this guy.
00:54:26Lonnie, give us a shot of this guy with a good chance.
00:54:30That's the governor of Texas, isn't it?
00:54:32That's the shot of this guy.
00:54:33Isn't that the governor of Texas?
00:54:35Yeah, I don't know.
00:54:41Yeah, there's my guy.
00:54:45Yeah, wait for the red light, pal.
00:54:47You can stay at my house tonight if we can't get out, okay?
00:54:49Oh, man.
00:54:52It takes all kinds.
00:54:59Huh?
00:55:01You can't talk to this kid.
00:55:10Look at this guy.
00:55:12I don't think he realized the red light's not on yet.
00:55:14Save it, guys.
00:55:16Wait a second.
00:55:17I think this guy should keep his hat on.
00:55:25All right.
00:55:47The old ballpark.
00:55:50He's wondering what is the difference between a kid and a caboodle?
00:55:54What is the difference?
00:55:56He knows.
00:55:57Let's ask him.
00:55:58From the 26, the cardinals down now 17, 10.
00:56:01Start to drive.
00:56:03The late handoff to bailey.
00:56:05Bailey for a couple of yards.
00:56:07Tried to sneak him up the middle.
00:56:09That gives us an opportunity to tell you about tonight.
00:56:11Chuck norris is kicking his way to justice.
00:56:14He takes on the mobsters of hong kong.
00:56:17Tonight, after the holiday inn stadium show, it's forced vengeance on tnt.
00:56:21I think that guy started.
00:56:23The guy with the hat and all.
00:56:25He may have been in that movie.
00:56:30Second down now.
00:56:31Eight yards to go.
00:56:33This is a good ballgame.
00:56:34Steve burline is hung in there tonight and giving his team a chance to perhaps win this game.
00:56:41Burline, people in his face.
00:56:43Gets it to clark anyway.
00:56:45Clark makes a diving catch at the 33.
00:56:48About three yards short of the first down.
00:56:50Third down coming up.
00:56:51Gary clark has been a consistent receiver.
00:56:54He had to make an adjustment and limps back in the huddle.
00:56:57This is a guy that's caught 50 passes in eight consecutive seasons.
00:57:02He's got to get out of there, pat.
00:57:04He's hurting right now.
00:57:05Five catches for 44 yards tonight.
00:57:07Had a bad groin coming into the game.
00:57:09Joe bugle says he doesn't practice.
00:57:11But he makes the plays on sundays.
00:57:14Or in this case, sunday night.
00:57:16There you go.
00:57:17Third down, a long two to go.
00:57:24Burline and the catch.
00:57:26No, it was not made.
00:57:28That was anthony edwards who had to come in.
00:57:30In clark's absence, could not hang on.
00:57:33And burline wants to go for it.
00:57:35But he's not the head coach.
00:57:37And joe bugle trailing by seven is going to punt it away.
00:57:41So anthony edwards is a special teams guy.
00:57:43Had made a catch all year long.
00:57:45Had to come in.
00:57:46And I bet clark is saying, I wish I had stayed in there for one more snap.
00:57:50Instead, hammer real to punt the football to kevin williams.
00:57:57644 left in the game.
00:58:03Hammer real hits a beauty.
00:58:05Williams waiting.
00:58:06He'll make the fair catch at the 15.
00:58:08And the boys will start there as they have a seven-point lead with 637.
00:58:13And that last play, burline would like to have it back on the third down attempt to anthony edwards.
00:58:1917-10, dallas.
00:58:29I like it.
00:58:30I like it.
00:58:31I like steve.
00:58:32Yeah, he is.
00:58:33That was a great thing down there.
00:58:35That was.
00:58:36Hello.
00:58:37Uh-oh.
00:58:38The fruit of the loom halftime report.
00:58:42Take this for the fruit of the loom halftime report.
00:58:44Uh-oh.
00:58:45It's a family show, guys.
00:58:46Remember this now.
00:58:50That's rusty chick there.
00:58:52The doctor.
00:58:55That's it.
00:58:57He's okay.
00:58:58We'll let him.
00:58:59Not very many people, but we'll let him in.
00:59:03Hey, do we have room for tom or not up here?
00:59:07Huh?
00:59:09My old boss at radio is in here.
00:59:11He wanted to hire you for radio.
00:59:13In that case, welcome.
00:59:18All right.
00:59:23Over 3-2.
00:59:2473-0, 3-2.
00:59:25I was right.
00:59:2690, 90-0.
00:59:280-2-5.
00:59:290-2-5.
00:59:330-2-5.
00:59:340-2-5.
00:59:350-2-5.
00:59:360-2-5.
00:59:380-2-5.
00:59:390-2-5.
00:59:400-2-5.
00:59:410-2-5.
00:59:420-2-5.
00:59:430-2-5.
00:59:440-2-5.
00:59:450-2-5.
00:59:460-2-5.
00:59:470-2-5.
00:59:480-2-5.
00:59:490-2-5.
00:59:500-2-5.
00:59:520-2-5.
00:59:530-2-5.
00:59:540-2-5.
00:59:550-2-5.
00:59:56A little more.
00:59:57Okay, coming out of this.
00:59:58That's good.
00:59:59That's cute.
01:00:00You are doing a movement, you really are.
01:00:016.
01:00:0337 to go.
01:00:04The cowboys with the ball, the 15.
01:00:06Here's a young man, a future cardinal.
01:00:08You can have the cow on the helmet or you can put it on your head.
01:00:12I prefer that model myself.
01:00:13He's got the first down and then some at the 32.
01:00:30Take Nate Newton out to dinner, Emmitt, because Nate Newton does a heck of a job of kicking
01:00:35out for him.
01:00:39That's big ol' Nate.
01:00:43He did a great job for the third time tonight of pulling, you know, again, he's 303 pounds,
01:00:49pulling and getting to the corner of the defense, kicking out that last defender and allowing
01:00:54the running back to come underneath him.
01:00:56By the way, that's the longest run from the line of scrimmage for the Cowboys this year.
01:00:59Emmitt Smith taking it to the 31.
01:01:00First down.
01:01:01There's an end around, reverse.
01:01:02Michael Irvin with the ball.
01:01:03And he's going to lose.
01:01:04Good reaction by John Booty, one of the fab four that Pat was talking about, one of the
01:01:15four free agency signs.
01:01:17And Booty, the former Philadelphia Eagle, read it well and they'll lose yardage back
01:01:20to the 28-yard line.
01:01:24This was, you know, nicely set up play.
01:01:27They ran it earlier for a big play.
01:01:28Here comes old Nate Newton again, number 61 at you.
01:01:31John Booty is one of the guys who has given this team an attitude, this defensive team
01:01:35an attitude.
01:01:36And he makes the play there.
01:01:39These are the kind of guys, they don't believe the refrigerator light goes out when you close
01:01:43the door.
01:01:44Second and 13.
01:01:45Blitz is coming.
01:01:46They pick it up.
01:01:47The pass is completed somehow to the 35 to Harper.
01:01:52He hangs on.
01:01:53It's going to bring up a third down and six.
01:01:55But the blitz was picked up.
01:01:57Oldham was blitzing from the near side and they picked it up.
01:01:59That play really illustrates how Alvin Harper has really come on as a receiver.
01:02:05Not only does he read the blitz, then he makes the slant and catches the ball in traffic.
01:02:10When he first came into the league, he was a deep receiver only.
01:02:15Now he can adjust and run any kind of route and make any kind of read.
01:02:20They said he can pound you and he can also catch the ball.
01:02:44He did both there and he did get the first down for Dallas.
01:02:47Who do you try to take away?
01:02:49You don't think about Derek Gaynor.
01:02:51You take your chances with Gaynor.
01:02:52You try to take away Irvin or Harper.
01:02:55Number 39 comes out of the backfield.
01:02:57In primarily as a blocker but when he sees everything is secure, he dumps out there and
01:03:02then bowls over two guys for the first down.
01:03:06First down at the 43.
01:03:07So they fight their way back after that end around lost yardage.
01:03:10Johnston in the backfield.
01:03:11Number 22 is there too.
01:03:12Here he is.
01:03:13Emmitt Smith.
01:03:14Smith runs for one tackle but he's gang tackled short of the 45.
01:03:23Lorenzo Lynch will hit you.
01:03:25Yes, sir.
01:03:26He's their physical corner as they talk about him and of course, Robert Massey who is their
01:03:30best cover corner has not signed with the cardinals and so Lynch has been the starter
01:03:34in that position.
01:03:35When you're a zone team, you really want to have a big corner like Lorenzo Lynch to come
01:03:42up and make plays like that.
01:03:43We're going to stay right here then with 3.32 left as we look now at the Coors light scoreboard.
01:03:53We mentioned the Giants winning their third.
01:03:5549ers with a victory.
01:03:58The saints 14-3.
01:04:00Derek brown with 121 yards.
01:04:03Steelers after losing their first two picking up a win.
01:04:05Looks like Neal O'Donnell's elbow is okay now.
01:04:08How about the browns?
01:04:11Steelers with an 18-17 win and Kearney now has had two games with six field goals.
01:04:17Seahawks with their first win of the year behind rookie Rick Meyer and then next week
01:04:21all begins with a stadium show at 7.30, the patriots and jets.
01:04:27Steve Berline played behind Aikman in Dallas for a number of years and really now getting
01:04:33his first chance as an extended player and as a starter, I mean, he's been around a while
01:04:39and he's not an experienced quarterback but what you have to like about him tonight, he
01:04:43hasn't quit, he hasn't given up, he's a tough guy and I think we found out he's a leader
01:04:48of this team.
01:04:49That's what he has.
01:04:50Tremendous leadership.
01:04:51That's something the cardinals have not had.
01:04:52They've gone through so many quarterbacks since Neal Lomax went down with injury.
01:04:53Second down and eight.
01:04:54Lastic in the backfield.
01:04:55Harper in motion.
01:04:56Play action by Aikman.
01:04:57Johnston the big fullback.
01:04:58And he's got a first down inside the 45, a 12-yard pickup.
01:05:14The reason Johnston is catching the ball so much tonight and not J. Novacek is you really
01:05:19have to take a choice because Novacek and the fullback Johnston run combination routes.
01:05:25The cardinals have decided to take away Novacek on those routes but that has left Darrell
01:05:29Johnston wide open in the flat.
01:05:32Dave Dewarsen comes in defensively for the cardinals.
01:05:35They need a stop here.
01:05:37With three minutes now left in the game.
01:05:39Down by seven points.
01:05:41Six catches for Johnston, 49 yards.
01:05:48Lastic inside the 40 to the 37.
01:05:55Gain of five.
01:05:56Second down and the clock now stopped with two 43 remaining in the ballgame.
01:06:02As we're going to have another timeout call by the cardinals.
01:06:04They'll have one remaining.
01:06:06Well, Pat, you look back at this game.
01:06:09You remember the drop by Derek Ware.
01:06:11The near interception by Lorenzo Lynch and if you're going to beat the defending Super
01:06:15Bowl champions, you can't let those opportunities get away from you.
01:06:20Exactly.
01:06:21A week ago they made those kind of plays.
01:06:23Lastic is going off with an injury.
01:06:25A week ago they made those plays against the redskins.
01:06:28Tonight they really haven't.
01:06:29They're still in the ballgame.
01:06:31Stay with us for the holiday end stadium show.
01:06:34Bob Neal, Kevin Keighley and special guest Anthony Munoz will bring you highlights, interviews
01:06:39and news from around the NFL.
01:06:43One timeout remaining.
01:06:44The cardinals down by seven.
01:06:46Two 43 left in this game.
01:06:49Jimmie Johnson after going 0 and 2.
01:06:52He was a lot more relaxed yesterday knowing that Smith was signed.
01:06:56He also after really riding the team after losing the first game, everybody said he had
01:07:00kind of refocused and kind of backed off a little bit and seemed much more confident
01:07:05even after the second loss.
01:07:07Yesterday he said, hey, we're going to be in the playoffs.
01:07:09No doubt in his mind, we're going to be in the playoffs.
01:07:13This drive now, remember, started for the 15 at the 637 mark.
01:07:17Now with two 43 left, they have it at the 37 of Phoenix.
01:07:24Much going on that play for Emmitt Smith.
01:07:27That will bring up a third down and again the clock has stopped.
01:07:32Cardinals will be using their final timeout.
01:07:36Two 37 left.
01:07:38Give us an opportunity to thank our producer, Peter Lasser, our director, Lonnie Dale, our
01:07:41technical director, Dennis Stone, Bob McGee, our technical manager, unit manager, Stephanie
01:07:46Ray Bradley, Scott Conquerole and Joe Vincius, the associate directors, graphics coordinator,
01:07:51Mark Silverman and Ted Ballard, Shannon Micelle, our coordinator, and our spotter, Tom Delgnos
01:07:58from here in the Phoenix area and Roger Reilly, our statistician.
01:08:02Some snacks.
01:08:03Delgnos.
01:08:04You mean.
01:08:05I want to thank all our guys on the cameras and the tape people for a job well done here
01:08:09in the valley of the sun as the cardinals now somehow desperately need to get the football.
01:08:14This game is not over yet.
01:08:15It's still 237.
01:08:17Right now, I mean, Eddie Murray's career long field goal is 54 yards, which is right about
01:08:23where they are right now.
01:08:25What the cowboys are thinking about is we have to extend this lead.
01:08:28With the seven-point lead, we need to get at least one more first down to give Eddie
01:08:32Murray a legitimate shot.
01:08:35Eddie Murray missed a 50-yarder, you might recall.
01:08:38Really didn't get it up very well.
01:08:39Last week they missed two.
01:08:40Lynn Elliott was cut.
01:08:41They brought in eight kickers.
01:08:43Murray won the kicking derby.
01:08:44He's warming up on the far sideline.
01:08:45Third down.
01:08:46Most important, third down right now for the cardinals.
01:08:47Third and three.
01:08:49He got just enough.
01:09:02He was dragged out of bounds and had enough to get the first down on the third and three.
01:09:08Gary, how many times have we seen receivers not run the correct yardage and get the first
01:09:13down on plays like this?
01:09:15He knew exactly what he needed.
01:09:16It was only his second catch of the evening, but it was for a big first down.
01:09:23I think the ball was, his feet may have been beyond the stakes, but I believe the ball
01:09:27was past the stakes.
01:09:28Well, the clock is now going to wind down to the two-minute warning.
01:09:3317-10.
01:09:34Dallas with the lead.
01:09:37The cardinals with no timeouts remaining and a new series for Dallas.
01:09:45They've got a lot of weapons, don't they?
01:09:49Boy, they do.
01:09:50Yeah.
01:09:51Yes, sir.
01:09:52How about Harper?
01:09:53No, no.
01:09:54How about Harper?
01:09:55Yeah.
01:09:56Alvin Harper.
01:09:57Let's give it to Harper.
01:09:58Absolutely.
01:09:59Show me that catch again here on my deal.
01:10:00You've got to go back before this because he catches it.
01:10:03He catches it right there.
01:10:04That's a first down when he catches it.
01:10:06Then he gets pushed back.
01:10:09It's a catch in the first.
01:10:13Well, it ended up being an interesting game.
01:10:21Yeah.
01:10:22Do you want to come back with that or not?
01:10:24Let's look at it because it was close.
01:10:25You take it.
01:10:26All right.
01:10:27Coming right out with it.
01:10:29They called it a forward progress, right?
01:10:31That's where they marked it.
01:10:33Both six catches are career high too, huh?
01:10:36Yeah.
01:10:43Okay.
01:10:44Gotcha.
01:10:45You take it?
01:10:46Yep.
01:10:47Yes, sir.
01:10:48Yeah.
01:10:49Yeah.
01:10:50Okay.
01:10:51Good.
01:10:52By the way, I had that on my on camera while you were gone.
01:10:56Let's go back to that first down catch by J.
01:10:58Novacek, number 84, right there in the middle of your screen.
01:11:01What happens was he caught the ball past the first down marker.
01:11:05And the officials said, well, you know,
01:11:07you're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:09You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:11You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:13You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:15You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:17You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:19You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:21You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:23You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:25You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:27You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:29You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:31You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:33You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:35You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:37You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:39You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:41You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:43You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:45You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:47You're going to have to go back to that first down catch.
01:11:49He will be Aikman as the Cardinals frustrated again.
01:11:53Two years ago they were 2-1 and Dallas came in here.
01:11:56They lost that game 17-9.
01:11:59And here we are two years later.
01:12:01Very similar score, 17-10.
01:12:03But it looked like the game was going to get completely away from Phoenix.
01:12:07Trailing 17-0.
01:12:08But give Steve Burline a lot of credit with his leadership.
01:12:11Brought him back.
01:12:12And they had a crack at it late in this fourth quarter.
01:12:15They had a chance to make a few plays.
01:12:17Lorenzo Lynch had a chance on the interception.
01:12:20It's a better football team, but they're not ready to take the Cowboys yet.
01:12:24Joe Bugle again needs to win nine games this year to keep his job.
01:12:29And his team now will go to 1-2 as will Dallas.
01:12:33And, of course, what really catches your attention, the Eagles and Giants.
01:12:363-0 after three weeks in the NFL.
01:12:40You know, thinking about the NFC East, a lot of people thought it was going to be down.
01:12:45It was going to be a little bit soft this year.
01:12:47But it's not.
01:12:48I mean, the Giants are a much better team with Dan Reeves there now.
01:12:51The Eagles are off to a great start.
01:12:53Randall Cunningham was phenomenal today in the two-minute drive
01:12:56when he threw a touchdown pass with four seconds left to win.
01:12:59360 yards today.
01:13:01Three touchdown catches by Calvin Williams.
01:13:03You know, Pat, you look at the Cardinals.
01:13:05Here they have another sellout, the fourth they've ever had.
01:13:08A record crowd announced today of 73,025.
01:13:12And they have lost a game.
01:13:14I wonder how the Valley of the Sun will respond.
01:13:16Will they say, same-o, same-o again?
01:13:18We got here and couldn't get it done.
01:13:20You wonder.
01:13:21Well, we started the broadcast.
01:13:22Gary Clark said, you know, we have to prove that we're a good team.
01:13:27We weren't able to get it done tonight.
01:13:29They were a team that gave the Cowboys some problems, but they didn't beat them.
01:13:33And what is that old story?
01:13:35You still enjoy W-I-N-N-I-N-G.
01:13:38Don't tell me about all the character-building situations.
01:13:42So, Jimmie Johnson's team has won their first of the year.
01:13:4617-10, Dallas.
01:13:49We'll be back with some final thoughts here from Sun Devil Stadium.
01:13:52Emmitt Smith with his debut in the 93 season.
01:14:07He's off.
01:14:08What do you want?
01:14:09He's already at the airport.
01:14:11Thank you, pal.
01:14:12Thanks, pal.
01:14:13Talk to you tomorrow.
01:14:14Okay.
01:14:15Yeah, talk to you.
01:14:16Thank you.
01:14:17Thank you.
01:14:19Yes, sir.
01:14:22What do you want to do here?
01:14:24Yes, sir.
01:14:26Okay.
01:14:28Yeah.
01:14:32Do you have Emmitt?
01:14:33Give me Emmitt.
01:14:34We'll get it here.
01:14:35Roger will get it.
01:14:37Yeah.
01:14:38Yeah.
01:14:39Yeah.
01:14:41Okay.
01:14:42Hey, I need to call this kid back out here.
01:14:44I'll probably get him this week.
01:14:46Okay.
01:14:47Emmitt, come on.
01:14:48You don't mind me talking?
01:15:11Yes, sir.
01:15:12Okay.
01:15:17Okay.
01:15:18Whatever.
01:15:32Emmitt Smith, after a 63-day holdout, makes his debut.
01:15:36He carries the ball eight times for 45 yards and one catch for three yards.
01:15:40But our Cadillac player of the game is Alvin Harper.
01:15:43Harper with career highs of both catches and yards.
01:15:46Six catches for 136 yards.
01:15:50And so the Cowboys have won their first game of the year.
