00:00:00First half stats and it's a reflective of the score all Dallas
00:00:08Living in every significant department and with almost twice as many total yards as the Cardinals
00:00:17You should have got that plate in the first quarter Kathy might have seen it
00:00:21He did my night. We're taping it for you
00:00:25Here we go as we start the second half
00:00:27It's become a cool evening in Tempe, Arizona
00:00:32Boneyol sends the kick down to the 13-yard line and LaShawn Johnson
00:00:37Swings to the outside and Brock Marion who had an interception in the first half and ran it back in for a score runs him out of bounds
00:00:46Monday night football is being brought to you by Miller Brewing Company wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season
00:00:53Cadillac and your Cadillac dealers and Tylenol the pain reliever hospitals use most
00:01:01Well, I think that the Cardinals right now is the gut check when you say Dan you played on teams that have
00:01:07You know, it's nothing going for a game, you know a game like this no playoffs in sight
00:01:11You just got to reach down and say hey, I'm a football player
00:01:14I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna give it everything I got even though I'm we're going nowhere after this one tonight
00:01:18You hope that's so their attitude, you know
00:01:21These a lot of these guys getting ready to go home for the offseason, but they still have 30 minutes of work left to do
00:01:29Right there again Leon
00:01:33Again
00:01:35By less that this is the position for me to play on this Dallas defense
00:01:41It's a defensive tackle and we will not have another embarrassment like we had at the Meadowlands last week
00:01:48Look at that penetration by left
00:01:51dead play
00:01:55Second down ten Russell Maryland in street clothes there and they hope to have him back
00:01:59He's been in and out and has been bothered all year with injuries
00:02:05But they'll have a week off next week and then the way things are going right now
00:02:09home for January
00:02:12At least until they hopefully get here as the passes incomplete
00:02:16The next road trip for the Arizona or for the Dallas Cowboys will be right back to
00:02:22Arizona I
00:02:24Guess I misspoke that game was in Dallas last week. That's the Meadowlands. We did the one of the metal
00:02:28I knew what was the Giants? Yeah, that was opening day. That was as much as I've tried to forget it
00:02:3535 to nothing
00:02:37The Cowboys are the kings of Monday night this year 35 zip on opening night a
00:02:43tour de force performance against
00:02:46Philadelphia 34 12 in November and all Dallas tonight
00:02:51Third and ten at the 32-yard line
00:02:58And that passes incomplete and a terrible pass
00:03:03There and Larry Brown was ready to jump on him and he caught it anyway a
00:03:09Lot of questions
00:03:11And I don't know who has the answers for where this Arizona franchise goes not just in terms of
00:03:19personnel
00:03:20Coaching with whether or not Buddy Ryan will be back. But where does the franchise go?
00:03:25There's a lot of question sir is swirling around this theme about
00:03:30Bill Bidwell wanting the new stadium here in Phoenix
00:03:34And the possibility that they'll leave here altogether
00:03:37Eagles check is not a work of art, but it will look terrific on the statute
00:03:42thanks to a 17-yard bounce down to the
00:03:4623-yard line
00:03:4855 yards
00:03:50early third quarter Dallas up by
00:03:5221
00:03:58Nokia Sugar Bowl comes your way New Year's Eve. That is
00:04:03What is it sat this Sunday night next week, Virginia Tech?
00:04:07Taking on Texas and then Ohio State and Tennessee are
00:04:11Co-number fours each winding up a tide in the polls in the citrus and then the Rose Bowl USC and
00:04:17Northwestern that's New Year's Day right here on ABC next Monday
00:04:23I have no sympathy for that guy. I mean, it's about a bit about 58 degrees
00:04:30That's a little bit of an overstatement
00:04:3313-yard line first down
00:04:36Aikman
00:04:37And that pass is incomplete trying to jam it into a late
00:04:41Lorenzo Lynch was there
00:04:43That's going over the top and they were right on top of it
00:04:46Oh
00:04:51Cardinals
00:04:56But it really had a lot of problems with secondary Lynch and hold the
00:05:00two safety men have both been in and out of the lineup with pulled hamstrings and this time
00:05:05Let's raced all over
00:05:08Draws the the flag
00:05:12It's that right hand
00:05:15And they're right on top of it
00:05:21Terry Oak and again like Lynch
00:05:25In and out of the lineup for the entire season
00:05:31Is made by Kevin Williams
00:05:34Up to the 37-yard line and you know
00:05:36One of the problems that Dallas has had in the estimation of many is the loss of Alvin Harper who opted for free agency
00:05:43But even at this point in the season Kevin Williams is truly making his presence very much felt
00:05:49And I think causing some problems for the defensive coordinators
00:05:53They're going to face the Cowboys in the playoffs
00:05:55So all of a sudden they have to look at Kevin Williams in an entirely different light
00:05:59I think that's why we're seeing a lot of it. I do
00:06:01Think about it guys when you look at the Cowboys. You're not just looking at Michael Irvin
00:06:07Respectfully
00:06:10And then when you look at those two guys you fill it up as Smith
00:06:12Not only is he ball carrier, but receiver on the tight end over here and with a question mark surrounding J
00:06:18Novacek Kevin Williams, this is not an option. He has to step forward
00:06:22He has to become a factor in the Cowboy passing game because without Novacek
00:06:27Michael Irvin is gonna he's going to move from being double teamed into being triple team
00:06:31There's what comes to really is the blocking tight end
00:06:35He's a little hefty to be a little hefty to be running downfield challenging
00:06:40Free safeties. He comes in about a nifty 290
00:06:55So Emmett Smith has already
00:06:57Won the rushing title. He came into the game with
00:07:001,705 yards this season and has won the title by a
00:07:05Large number of yards over Barry Sanders four out of the last five years. He's won that title right up there with some
00:07:12Pretty heady people that have carried the football over the years the National Football League
00:07:17Put together multiple seasons of
00:07:21Multiple seasons of
00:07:23Winning the rushing title and Barry Switzer now moves into the territory of where people are going to start second-guessing him
00:07:32Maybe he should leave a story a lot longer because Aeneas Williams has just turned it into a ballgame
00:07:39His second touchdown on an interception this season is sixth interception
00:07:44Pro Bowl bound once again, and he's a gambler, but if you're a good cornerback, you're going to be
00:07:50Playing in that Pro Bowl in Honolulu. You are going to be a gambling
00:07:54cornerback and Williams
00:07:56Either off a frequency off a study. He just knew that that was the pass pattern
00:08:00They were going to run he stepped right in front of him. He was gone
00:08:03Well, certainly Aikman has now removed that problem from Barry Switzer's plate
00:08:08We'll be down to a 14-point game and the Cowboy Regulars are in for a while
00:08:13Beautiful work by Aeneas Williams when it wasn't that Aikman should not have thrown either
00:08:18He was right in the picture
00:08:21Extra point by Davis at Williams second touchdown run back of the season the Cardinals this season have run back four
00:08:28Interceptions for touchdowns. They have more touchdowns on interception returns than they do rushing. How weird is that?
00:08:3624 to 10
00:08:38You
00:08:43Troy Aikman throwing that interception run back by the Pro Bowl corner Aeneas Williams
00:08:48to make it 24 to 10 Dallas with 1130 to go in the third quarter and
00:08:55Greg Davis's kick taken at the nine by Kevin Williams
00:09:05Cardinals come up with the football
00:09:08Lance Brown comes away with it
00:09:12And if the penalty is on the Cowboys the Cardinals are right back in it
00:09:23The defense has already come out for the it's the Cardinals. Oh, they're going to get it
00:09:28I
00:09:37Judge Howard Slavin made the call Bill Bates with the holding and Arizona with the recovery
00:09:43No Christmas gifts tonight for the Cowboys
00:09:50Kevin Williams right up the middle and he is hit hard from the left side then hit again from the right by number
00:09:5726 and boy, that's a fine pop put on there
00:10:01And that's the kind of a hitting
00:10:03Double team that really brings the ball out of there
00:10:08Tony Jones credit him with the hit that does it right there. There's Jones 26
00:10:15And that Craig class to capitalize going for the six and it's incomplete and Deion Sanders all over
00:10:23More
00:10:26Single coverage he had him all the way and that was good coverage
00:10:30That was the essence of coverage
00:10:35Was one of those things you come back into the huddle and you say I can beat him I can beat him in
00:10:39Good saying it probably the entire first half of a okay gonna you and they'll know they'll have single coverage
00:10:45He might have been a touch early, but you're not going to get a flag in the end zone on that. I don't think
00:10:51It was just too close even the left hand on the shoulder
00:10:56You might have got away with a little something there
00:10:59second down
00:11:01Garrison hurt. He's gonna throw and he's going off his back
00:11:06Larry centers of the 11-yard line
00:11:10They won't get style points, but it was effective
00:11:17He could have gotten rid of that a little earlier that could have been six points
00:11:21That's his second pass of the season. His first was incomplete
00:11:25that's a
00:11:26You're right Frank if he could have thrown it earlier before having to make the adjustment and for a falling backwards and
00:11:33Completely, you know off-balance falling backwards. He's still got enough on it to get at the center
00:11:39Right now I'd have to think that a little bit of Dallas's heart is up in their throat
00:11:44But this is where the Cardinals struggle. They struggle all year long
00:11:48Right the red zone
00:11:51Battled away by Deion Sanders Rob Moore
00:11:56Who has not caught a ball tonight again the intended receiver boy
00:12:00And I wonder if this isn't the personality of Buddy Ryan coming out going after Deion Sanders
00:12:07Well, he's making a mistake. That was a terrific play by Sanders. Well, it's back-to-back terrific plays by Sanders
00:12:14Forget it. It's not going to happen. You're down in an area where Sanders is going to lock up very tight on any receiver
00:12:21He's covering all right now the goal line and that was a superb play watch the play action to the right and coming back again
00:12:27two more
00:12:29This is something the Cardinals been working on right here second and Santa reverse roll
00:12:34Craig
00:12:36Slides and gloriously to a hole that was the play right there
00:12:41Before the game Ted Plum was telling us about it
00:12:43They wanted to set up Deion because if if the receiver acts like he's going to block they think Deion takes it easy
00:12:50The play action that time was to try to fool Deion and obviously he was not yet
00:12:55There is Ted Plum who is among those making the play calls though. That seems to be
00:13:01shrouded in mystery here in
00:13:03Phoenix and that's a doggone it look on his face
00:13:07We worked all week on that and it didn't work and again the Cardinals continue to struggle down here inside the red zone
00:13:13They have had a tough time all year long getting it in third down 10 at the 11-yard line from the gun all kinds of movement
00:13:22Damn, I understand the philosophy
00:13:24Thinking behind that but Deion is not going to get caught on the wears down here
00:13:28I mean that that's the kind of play you'd want to run at the 50-yard line. Maybe catch him
00:13:33Where did he tell us they were going to run?
00:13:36Inside the red zone at the plus 20 on the way in
00:13:40They thought that Deion falls asleep a little bit when he when he judges the play being run the other way
00:13:47obviously
00:13:48Deion had that extra cup of coffee at halftime
00:13:51Yep, and he's been involved in in two of the the three prior plays as well, which will get your adrenaline sure
00:13:58It'll uh, it'll raise your awareness level
00:14:01third down 15
00:14:05For a wideout
00:14:09Three
00:14:10Going ten yard line catches made there by Anthony Edwards, but he can only get to the six
00:14:15So it's fourth down and incomes Davis to try to tack on three and shave the lead to 11
00:14:24And it's not
00:14:25It's not six inches for the first down or the touchdown
00:14:28I I don't think you can argue with the with the call here by Ryan to go ahead and take the three points
00:14:36You
00:14:41Greg Davis 23 yards
00:14:45And
00:14:47Does make
00:14:49Just good
00:14:51847 left in the third Ryan a little happier his team climbs to within 11
00:14:57And
00:15:06He brings this one back up to the 28-yard line
00:15:08So the Dallas Cowboys who are the verge of totally blowing out the Cardinals now find themselves in a mini dogfight
00:15:17They also got a great effort from their defense to hold that to three after
00:15:22turning it over
00:15:25Couple
00:15:26interception for a touchdown followed by a
00:15:29Fumble on the kickoff that first I can shake a team up pretty good. They could have got that in for six the Cardinals
00:15:35Well, they're still the threat to get back into it, but it would have hurt a lot more
00:15:40838 left third
00:15:42Here
00:15:56It's funny I think El Paso, Texas is actually closer to Phoenix than to Dallas well and before the Cardinals
00:16:04came to Phoenix
00:16:06the entire state of Arizona was part of the Cowboys radio network, so
00:16:11They have text Ram got that started and they they spent years cultivating this
00:16:18This Arizona population into being Cowboy fans and down into Mexico. Yeah big favorites there
00:16:30Up to the 42-yard line
00:16:33I think about that preseason game. We did in Mexico City
00:16:37Last
00:16:38As you look at the Dion who clearly has been to Tiffany's himself over the holidays
00:16:43And the way the the Mexico City crowd was chanting moose, and that's Eric Williams again
00:16:48Shaken up. Oh
00:16:51He's grabbed his shoulder tapped his left shoulder
00:16:58So an injury timeout was 739 left in the third William shaken Cowboys lead by 11
00:17:07You
00:17:13Hey, Arizona, not only the side of the Super Bowl at the end of January, but the Fiesta Bowl, Florida, Nebraska
00:17:20here next week for the national championship first down Dallas in the 42 after the timeout will check on Eric Williams and
00:17:28Emmett Smith goes next to nowhere
00:17:30So Eric Hill makes the tackle
00:17:33And there is Eric Williams again none the worse
00:17:36Well, you shouldn't say that because at least he's able to get up, but he's windmilling that shoulder right now
00:17:40Ron stone replaces him Seth joiner of the I believe that's joiner of the Cardinals is boy
00:17:47He's hurting he is really in pain walking around out there with that right arm just hanging
00:17:54Well, he's gonna try to stay in there. Did they get a man on him? He's gonna be in trouble
00:18:01And
00:18:04Nathan's gonna gun one to the 48-yard line into the arms of Kevin Williams who was covered by
00:18:09Lance Brown and that is very close to a first down
00:18:15For joining it looks like it's probably just a stinger because he was
00:18:20In on the play and now appears to not even be concerned with it and Eric Williams comes back
00:18:27one of Buddy Ryan's boys in
00:18:30Philadelphia
00:18:31Remember a game he had on Monday night football a number of years ago when he was still with the Eagles in Houston
00:18:36Oh Eric Williams back in the ballgame, but Seth joiner turned in one of the best individual games
00:18:42We've ever seen on Monday night classic night. He wound up in the 4-goal area
00:18:46Nathan throws and it's caught at the 30-yard line and the big night continuing for Kevin Williams
00:18:55Land around makes the tackle Williams just 5-9 and on the other side you've got the 6-2 Michael Irvin
00:19:02Troy making some fine reads tonight with the coverage over on Irvin single coverage
00:19:08Oh again on Williams a little move by Williams is subtle, but it freezes
00:19:13Lance Brown and he moves to the inside and Aikman is right there with the ball
00:19:17Michael Irvin here any moment. I was gonna be telling Troy Aikman. Hey, remember me. I'd like to be a part of this
00:19:23Huge night for Williams. He's caught eight four hundred seventy one
00:19:29To about the 26-yard line
00:19:31Jax makes the tackle
00:19:33against Saturday postseason play begins in the NFL both games on ABC, Miami and Buffalo get it started from Rich Stadium
00:19:411230 Eastern 930 in the morning Pacific then
00:19:46Detroit and Philadelphia the Red Hot Lions seven straight go into the vet four o'clock Eastern Time Wild Cards Saturday
00:19:53right here on ABC
00:20:03Second down eight to the 25-yard line
00:20:09They can throw
00:20:12Smith it takes the ball to the 10-yard line first down
00:20:15Well
00:20:23Will he get that 25th touchdown
00:20:25Well, you think so much about Emmett rushing the football that you really don't
00:20:30Keep close tabs on how many times he catches the ball coming out of the backfield that puts him over
00:20:3560 for the year and and those are big-time numbers
00:20:39much less from someone with over 1700 yards rushing
00:20:43Factor in 60 plus reception. You're you're getting your money's worth from Emmett Smith 62 receptions total, but no scoring
00:20:53He gets to the nine-yard line
00:20:57Barely pick up a first down without getting a touchdown but in effect it is second and goal
00:21:02Smith so Sullivan the prime receiver, but he is the checkoff man on so many
00:21:08In that last particular ball they threw to him a moment ago
00:21:11He just set up about four or five yards downfield and Aikman looked over the deep people. Nobody there. He goes to Smith
00:21:21Four or five yard turn in or a little look or something. He could turn into something big
00:21:26Second and goal eight-yard line
00:21:36He's got a balance of the five-yard line third and goal
00:21:43Three twelve remaining or the third quarter
00:21:4924 to 13
00:21:52On top the the Cowboys by 11
00:21:57Blip
00:21:59Floating over the Tempe Butte and looking down into Sun Devil Stadium the Goodyear blimp Eagle. Well, if you're really just looking to score
00:22:08play action
00:22:11Faking the ball to Emmett Smith, but it is a a pretty solid bet here for the Cowboys
00:22:15Oh
00:22:19Third goal this stays in the block and the pass is not caught by the moose
00:22:25Johnson can't hold on
00:22:27when they could have been
00:22:29thrown at all because
00:22:31The Johnson was wide open and he could just kind of flipped it to him that he made that almost impossible to catch
00:22:37How about the block by Emmett Smith watch Emmett Smith step up and pick off Alexander?
00:22:43He just stops him dead in his tracks and knocks him to the ground and you're right not a very well-thrown ball
00:22:51Emmett Smith, you knew he wanted that touchdown, but he did what he had to do watch this shot
00:22:5923-yard field goal bone. You'll out of the hold of jet
00:23:03Puts it through and the Cowboys pick up three
00:23:06with
00:23:08233 left now in the third quarter
00:23:11The Dallas lead is 27 13
00:23:15Is the season to be jolly follow up time? I guess that's what happens when you're a pro ball running
00:23:21But yeah, that goes with super stardom doesn't it?
00:23:24I don't my trouble is I don't think Pro Bowl even gets to that. You've got to make that next level
00:23:30Joe I was on oh and his special teams will watch their coverage is bone. You'll send it skyward
00:23:35late in the third quarter of Dallas up by 14 with John Johnson
00:23:41Written down at the 22-yard line a lot
00:23:45Talked recently about the relationship between Barry Switzer and Troy Aikman. Here's what Barry said about it before the game. I
00:23:52Have to be me and I will never be other than Barry Switzer and how I go about things
00:23:57We have one relationship and that relationship is built on one thing that foundation of both of us are committed to winning
00:24:03I can't ever understand why anyone perceives it because of my attitude is that I'm not committed to winning and
00:24:09Troy and I have that together
00:24:10That's our relationships built on that and our loyalty should be to the Dallas Cowboys and that's what our relationship will always be built on
00:24:21Barry and Aikman it's been a big story in Dallas and has made its way out to the rest of the country as well in
00:24:27the past week in the 22-yard line
00:24:29And he is shoved out of bounds by Darren Smith at the end of the play
00:24:35One of the other things might be bothering Drake but as a fact that did since they that injury in Thanksgiving Day the
00:24:41Knee and in the back injury, and I think he's been playing hurt and I think you've been
00:24:46Hurt bad boy, and there is no rule of football that says that Barry Switzer and Troy Aikman have to be great buddies
00:24:52Or that they even have to be great buddies. I think that's what's been going on
00:24:55It's called production. Yeah, you look at a lot of quarterback coach relationships over the year
00:25:01Joe, Montana and Bill Walsh weren't all that close Chuck Nolan Terry branch winning is what counts now
00:25:07What makes it interesting is the fact that Troy Aikman wields a lot of influence with Jerry Jones and the entire organization
00:25:15That's the wild card
00:25:17second and four
00:25:20Third and fourth Larry Brown covering Brown getting to play a lot this season you keep forgetting on opening night
00:25:28Despite that 35-nothing route the Cowboys lost the great Kevin Smith Smith has just signed a huge contract the Pro Bowl caliber
00:25:35cornerback and he's going to be a big part of the season
00:25:38He's going to be a big part of the season. He's going to be a big part of the season
00:25:42He's going to be a big part of the season. He's going to be a big part of the season
00:25:45Kevin Smith has just signed a huge contract the Pro Bowl caliber
00:25:48cornerback and so Brown getting the start until
00:25:52Sanders got there and then Larry moved over and
00:25:55He's been an everyday player Clayton Holmes, of course out of the lineup to under suspension
00:25:59So they had to make some major adjustments in their secondary
00:26:04third down for
00:26:06145 left in the third
00:26:10Only a three-man Washington
00:26:15And with some nifty running he's tackled by
00:26:21Where would this cardinal offense be without Larry Center he is the offense
00:26:29That they wouldn't even be on the screen
00:26:32This guy we're getting a chance and it's a shame that he's playing for a football team that only has four wins
00:26:37But enjoy the scenery because Larry centers is becoming one of the really special players in the NFL
00:26:44Hang it out there. Larry. None of your teammates were close enough for you to pitch it to
00:26:49This guy's this guy's getting it done. He catches
00:26:53117 receiving yards for him tonight first down up at the 43-yard line
00:27:00Decent protection and then the receiver falls down and that's the rookie Frank Sanders who slipped and
00:27:06Frank's been a non-factor tonight. That's too bad in a way his exposure without a catch the rookie from Auburn appears to have a
00:27:13Brilliant future how many wide receivers have receptions that I've won one cardinal
00:27:18Right on Larry centers came into this ballgame chasing Roger Craig
00:27:22But in reality with an entire quarter to go centers is making a run at a hundred reception
00:27:28Well, if I were the rookie Frank Sanders, I might think about a new cleat
00:27:31Do you have 97 George? Is that what he has on the year? He came into this thing with 89
00:27:3690 70 is a tonight only Anderson and Edwards two wideouts have fought balls tonight
00:27:42second down and 10
00:27:44Craig looking and throwing and nobody home
00:27:55The Cardinals have completed 11 passes tonight eight of them to Larry centers that a cactus hunting moon
00:28:02Cactus hunting moon. Well, I think that's I think that might be a salamander hunting moon. I
00:28:09Don't know I'm gonna call Keith right a Gila monster. I heal a monster moon. That's a good one
00:28:18Chamber commerce night here in the Phoenix area
00:28:23Third down ten
00:28:2643
00:28:32And the pass is
00:28:35caught by
00:28:37Somebody is
00:28:39Immediately by Robert Bailey with a half a minute to go in the period well short of the first down and the cards to kick
00:28:51Tony Tolbert, we've talked about him earlier playing with two bad knees
00:28:55Probably will undergo surgery that ball wasn't even close to being caught
00:29:00Tony will probably undergo surgery after the season
00:29:05Williams and Sanders both drop back with seagulls to punt it
00:29:11As the period winds down
00:29:14The kick is a short one and is down to by the Cardinals at the 20-yard line
00:29:20That's where Dallas will take over when we start the fourth quarter
00:29:23End of 327 13 Dallas and Monday night football returns after this word party the final
00:29:30quarter begins at Sun Devil Stadium now Michaels with
00:29:33Frank Gifford Dan Deardorff and Lin Swan the Dallas Cowboys trying to wrap up home field advantage throughout the playoffs leading
00:29:4227 13 first and 10
00:29:44at the 20-yard line
00:29:46Oh
00:29:51Right into Eric Hill the middle linebackers no game
00:29:56The Cardinals do have some linebackers that will put a pop on you
00:29:59He'll one of the fine middle linebackers of the league and again like Garth Jacks
00:30:03Somebody that we don't see a lot because of their record
00:30:06they have not been on national television a lot that this is a big-time hit by Eric Hill first round draft pick and
00:30:1389 out of LSU we've seen Garth Jacks already tonight Terry Irving Seth Joyner, of course many times a pro bowler
00:30:20They've got some players
00:30:22Second and 10 of the 20 opening minute fourth quarter
00:30:27Moose Johnson is split wide to the right
00:30:30And the pass is incomplete
00:30:32Devin Williams over the middle with Lance Brown covering third down
00:30:37The
00:30:38Lance Brown doing what all rookie corners have to do hang in there
00:30:44We're going to have some go against you and he has seen his share tonight both passes caught against them some penalties
00:30:50but he is
00:30:52Persevered and he's still maintaining close coverage. He you can't lose your game. You can't get frustrated
00:30:58You can't back off the confrontation. You got to stay with it
00:31:04Third down and 10 from the 20
00:31:06and
00:31:10Cardinals watch for a control
00:31:14Complete intended for Bjornson good coverage that time Seth Joyner got a hand on it
00:31:21He's big he's six to a 235 pounder, but I've mentioned earlier covered him in working on the
00:31:27Superstars and the guy is an amazing athlete. He
00:31:31Ran the
00:31:33100-yard dash at about 10 to just an amazing athlete. Look at that. They've used him in coverage on the outside anywhere
00:31:40And of course the former Eagle and buddy Ryan loves him
00:31:43John Jets upon Anthony Edwards to run it back
00:31:52Flag is thrown pretty bad kick 26 yards out of bounds at the Cardinal 46 yard line
00:32:00Aeneas Williams team who's charging in and but the holding ball will go against the Dallas Cowboys
00:32:10And Arizona will
00:32:12Tough to turn down the feeling this penalty tough to turn down the field position. They have
00:32:17the can't tack is the
00:32:20referee
00:32:2427-yard punt officially
00:32:27To be declined
00:32:41So the Cardinals have the ball in cowboy territory with 1404 to play
00:32:48A
00:32:51Quarter for a total of 35 yards and the Cowboys with Emmett Smith looking on
00:32:57Watching their defense trying to dig in against the Cardinals to trail by
00:33:0114 points first and 10 Arizona at the 47-yard line
00:33:04I
00:33:14Have Arizona State for the Cardinals to score with their defense on the bench
00:33:21You haven't mentioned where anybody else is from and that's the second time you've met Carver from Arizona State out well
00:33:27You know, I know you're home here and everything else, but I think you're really showing favorites
00:33:31If you're always trying to tie things in here's a guy coming home, right?
00:33:35Number one draft pick up made a nice play good inside move here knows this turf very well
00:33:40Yeah, I tried to play him on the inside and it's not quite big enough for that
00:33:43They move to the outside Leon that came back inside doing a good job
00:33:47second down and 10
00:33:5247 yard line
00:33:54Oh
00:33:56And the catch is made by Oscar McBride the rookie out of Notre Dame that's close to the first down
00:34:05But Darren Woodson, he is really hurting he's got a sore shoulder he's got a he's got a bad hand
00:34:13his left shoulder is just
00:34:16Killing him in the right hand. He said hello to him tonight. He couldn't shake hands with it
00:34:22Watching him trying to tough that thing out last week in that game against the Giants was
00:34:27Really something and here he is again now in the fourth quarter of the season finale against the Cardinals trying to do the same
00:34:33That was the first time in the class first reception of the night
00:34:36It'll be second down and Monday night football is being brought to you by
00:34:41Goldeneye United Artists brings you the biggest James Bond movie of all time
00:34:45Southwest Airlines fly Southwest the low fare airline
00:34:49America's truck stop the new Dodge and AT&T your true choice
00:34:55If I'm the Cardinals I'm gonna be the Cardinals
00:34:58I'm gonna be the Cardinals
00:35:00I'm gonna be the Cardinals
00:35:02I'm gonna be the Cardinals
00:35:04I'm gonna be the Cardinals
00:35:06Cardinals I go right back into what I just did and that is hammer the ball at this Cowboys defensive line
00:35:13They got a good surge that time Hurst took it upfield. I wouldn't go away from
00:35:26First but he's about a yard shy third down and one
00:35:28That was more of a delay the previous down the Cardinals got a great surge off the line and scrimmage
00:35:39Where this defense has really shown some problems in the past they've worn down as the game has gone along
00:35:45They're not a big physical group
00:35:47They've given up at least 140 yards rushing it for their last five games
00:35:53Most of it right in the middle
00:35:56And most of it right in the middle third in the yard centers lines up on a wing and then goes in motion
00:36:03And Hurst has the first down
00:36:05To the 22 yard line tackled by Miles
00:36:10With 1145 left in regulation
00:36:15Funny thing about the Cowboys tonight
00:36:17They began the game so brilliantly and the confidence level that we talked about at the beginning was on its way
00:36:23They may be getting back to where it was a few weeks ago and now all of a sudden
00:36:26Some self-doubt has to start creeping back in they can't put the Cardinals away
00:36:31Where was that?
00:36:32There was that one throw by Troy Eggman out into the flat that Aeneas Williams brought back to start this second half
00:36:39That hurt the Cowboys
00:36:46Again and he gets taken down by Leon lead as he crosses the 20-yard line to about the 18
00:36:53If it wasn't for Leon lead in the middle
00:36:56Again, we've documented how Russell Maryland is not playing again tonight because of the the sprain toe
00:37:01But Leon lead is it's really taking control of thing. He's doing all he could do. He's just not getting a great deal of help
00:37:09On the line of scrimmage. This guy is a load
00:37:17Chad Hennings playing over on the other side
00:37:24Second and five
00:37:31Great throws juggles incomplete. It'll be third down and
00:37:36Shad fam the intended receiver again the card struggling down inside the 20-yard line to that red zone
00:37:44Well, they could have used a better block by Garrison Hurst. He's
00:37:48He got to get a chance to get a pop on somebody he's got a he's got to bring it and make a stick
00:37:54Dave Craig's having to throw with some people in his face
00:37:57Here's the play by Hurst, but you got to do more than that. Oh
00:38:01Darren Smith is coming in and you've got a you got to do more than wave at a guy you get a chance
00:38:06He's going to put a hit on you
00:38:07If you're running the ball if you get a chance to put on him while he's rushing your quarterback take advantage of
00:38:18That's Leon loose ball
00:38:31But tonight the big man's having
00:38:40Godfrey miles recovers it. There's good hustle by Leon
00:38:45He's playing like two men tonight. He's serious. He's going to contend his arm was coming forward and
00:38:54And it was yeah
00:38:57And it was upon further review never mind 1012 left in the fourth
00:39:08Is the guy that makes the play here beats Duvall love upfield
00:39:11But then keep hustling comes around and slaps the arm of Dave Craig
00:39:16We've looked at it from about four different angles
00:39:19Two or three of them. It did look like his arm had started forward, but it's easy to see how it didn't get called
00:39:25They run Williams again
00:39:28On the spin around end around and Lance Brown makes the tackle that fumble by Craig by the way that adds to another record his own
00:39:36144
00:39:38Career fumbles and Dave wins the fumble championship this season. That's his 16
00:39:43Even the sack
00:39:45Championship to today's act 50 times coming into tonight sack title fumble title
00:39:51Wonderful
00:39:5352 times I've been coming in it tonight. How many sacks tonight the another hand for so three tonight 55
00:40:03Second down seven
00:40:05To go
00:40:10The Cowboys
00:40:12Their holiday fair this year the Dallas played on Labor Day. They played on Thanksgiving
00:40:18They played on Christmas
00:40:20And they hope they play well the Super Bowl is it's right around Groundhog Day. Is it man? How big is what?
00:40:26It is right here. I'll call Bill Murray and find out I'll get on my sneaker phone and I'll call Punxsutawney Phil
00:40:32And I'll get the answer definitively
00:40:34Consult your almanac February 2nd
00:40:39Where would you be February 2nd
00:40:54Takes care of mother the 40-yard line first down, Dallas
00:40:59Will not run out of bounds Willie
00:41:02He looks for somebody to hit
00:41:06What an asset he is in this football team
00:41:10In a couple of big-time blocks tonight good receiver works out of the backfield
00:41:18Seldom ever makes an error on pickup
00:41:20First at 10 at the 40
00:41:228.05 left in regulation
00:41:24Dallas leading 27-13
00:41:26Aikman serving under pressure
00:41:28Then throws catch made by Michael Irvin
00:41:30His first catch since the first quarter
00:41:32But it's a catch that nets no gain
00:41:34Tackled by Williams
00:41:40Williams is on the floor
00:41:42And he's got the ball
00:41:44And he's got the ball
00:41:46He's got the ball
00:41:49Williams last night had his knee locked up
00:41:51In fact Aeneas Williams was listed last night as doubtful
00:41:55For the game
00:41:57It's something that you have to do
00:41:59You have to update your injury report
00:42:01But responded today
00:42:03And has played the whole game
00:42:05Really wasn't a factor in the first time
00:42:07That the Cardinals played the Cowboys
00:42:09Earlier this year got hurt
00:42:11So
00:42:13This is Michael Irvin's first real taste
00:42:15Of Aeneas Williams here in 95
00:42:17Second and 10
00:42:21And that is
00:42:25Incomplete
00:42:27Sort of a tentative call there
00:42:29But incomplete
00:42:31Daryl Johnston dropping it
00:42:33Terry Irvin was there
00:42:37Aikman I think a little upset with the pattern
00:42:39That one of his receivers ran
00:42:41And
00:42:45Terry Irvin
00:42:47Slapping it out
00:42:49And did not have possession
00:42:51But a ball wouldn't you agree that more often than not
00:42:53You'll see Daryl Johnston catch
00:42:55Yep
00:42:57Right in the hand
00:42:59Third and 10 now
00:43:01And
00:43:09Resetting the football
00:43:11That it slid back about 6 inches or so
00:43:13And Troy has 5 seconds on the play clock
00:43:23Well that's
00:43:25Wait a minute
00:43:27You know what they should have done
00:43:29The play clock
00:43:31Dallas pulls a timeout
00:43:33Some confusion on the field
00:43:35And Emmitt Smith and Dick Cantac go over it
00:43:43Howdy
00:43:45And what's the other one
00:43:47By the way that was
00:43:49A timeout that was not charged
00:43:51To the Cowboys
00:43:53It was an official's timeout
00:43:55They realized their error that they didn't reset
00:43:57The clock and put the Cowboys
00:43:59At a disadvantage so
00:44:01We'll start this back at 25 seconds
00:44:03And it's third down and 10
00:44:05Up at the 40 yard line for the Dallas Cowboys
00:44:077-11 to go in the fourth quarter
00:44:0927-13
00:44:11Cowboys
00:44:13Cowboys
00:44:25Aikman
00:44:27Faking wide open
00:44:29Michael Irvin sooner or later
00:44:31To the 13 yard line
00:44:33Before he's out of bounds
00:44:35And the flag is down
00:44:37Back at the 38 yard line
00:44:39At the Cowboy 38
00:44:43Big time call
00:44:45Coming up here
00:44:47And it's going to go against
00:44:49Arizona
00:44:51Funny at first
00:44:53Both teams started to come back
00:44:55As if it was going to be called against Dallas
00:44:57That was double coverage over on
00:44:59Michael Irvin
00:45:01He's been getting it all night long
00:45:03This time he just raced by the defender
00:45:05This is Lynch up close
00:45:07He's getting help from the inside
00:45:09And deep
00:45:11From the safety man who's supposed to be over there
00:45:13That's Williams and he just gets there late
00:45:15And a good read
00:45:17By the two of them
00:45:19Aikman and Irvin
00:45:2147 yard gain
00:45:23For Michael Irvin
00:45:25We're going to double him
00:45:27Williams is slow and getting over there
00:45:29Aikman
00:45:31338 yards through the air tonight
00:45:33171 with Williams
00:45:35And 82 with Michael Irvin
00:45:37That's Aikman's
00:45:39Best performance of the season
00:45:41In terms of passing yardage
00:45:43And from the 13 yard line
00:45:45Down goes Emmitt Smith
00:45:47For a loss of one
00:45:49And again
00:45:51What would be perfect for the Cowboys here
00:45:53Is to wrap it up with a touchdown
00:45:55And have number 22 take it into the end zone
00:45:57For the record
00:45:59We're seeing an awful lot of slipping tonight
00:46:01And down in the field earlier
00:46:03You were down there Dan
00:46:05Now the one thing
00:46:07They are going to do for the Super Bowl
00:46:09Is I understand it that they are going to come in
00:46:11After the Fiesta Bowl
00:46:13And re-sod this entire stadium
00:46:15In anticipation
00:46:17Of the Super Bowl here on the 28th
00:46:19So what we've seen tonight that's good news
00:46:21It is good news and you're right I agree with you
00:46:23It certainly didn't look like it up close
00:46:25Second down 12 Aikman throws
00:46:27Catches many by Johnson
00:46:29He gets ridden out of bounds near the first down marker
00:46:31At the three yard line
00:46:33Carlos Brooks
00:46:35Load up Emmitt
00:46:37And it's a first down and first and goal
00:46:41Alright now it's pretty clear
00:46:45That number 22 is going to be
00:46:47Your man well it's pretty clear in any circumstance
00:46:49You will see some serious Emmitt Smith right here
00:46:51But you'd think that that's what
00:46:53Every offensive lineman
00:46:55This is an offensive lineman's dream right now
00:46:57How about a nightmare they know where it's going to go
00:46:59Yeah but they get a chance to be a part of history
00:47:01To say I was there
00:47:03I helped block for the guy when he got the record
00:47:07Emmitt Smith
00:47:11He's got the record
00:47:13This crowd knows it
00:47:19It didn't come easy
00:47:21And you want to know something
00:47:23You want to
00:47:25You want to make a bet that that's exactly the same
00:47:27Play that they tried twice against
00:47:29Philadelphia didn't get it
00:47:31Right off left guard
00:47:33That's the fourth and one Moose Johnson leads the way
00:47:35He had the block here to spring him
00:47:37Emmitt Smith
00:47:3925 touchdowns
00:47:43Bye bye Riggins
00:47:47And 100
00:47:49For his career
00:47:51At the age of 26
00:47:53And a half
00:47:55100 touchdowns
00:47:59Bonio
00:48:05And maybe more importantly a little breathing room
00:48:07Now for Dallas
00:48:09Who had left 17 to nothing
00:48:11But they had gotten in trouble here
00:48:13Road to the Super Bowl
00:48:15And the NFC will be going through
00:48:17Texas Stadium
00:48:21Alone in the record book now
00:48:2325
00:48:25Touchdowns
00:48:27And he's touched
00:48:29Goes along with a great football act
00:48:31This is a classy man off the football field
00:48:33Emotionally look at this
00:48:35Emmitt Smith
00:48:37He has an appreciation of the history of this game
00:48:39And the accomplishments
00:48:41This is a guy that just
00:48:43Doesn't take this in stride
00:48:45And then it got down to within six minutes
00:48:47Of the season being over for Emmitt Smith
00:48:49I'm sure it's been
00:48:51In the back of his mind over the past two or three games
00:48:53And it's quite a relief
00:48:55Bonio the kickoff
00:48:5734-13 is the score
00:48:59He and Michael Irvin
00:49:01Enjoying
00:49:03A delicious moment on the sidelines
00:49:05As Larry Senters runs the kickback
00:49:07Up to the 31
00:49:09A lot of ways to put Emmitt's mark into perspective
00:49:11One way is to look at the Cardinals
00:49:13As a team collectively
00:49:15Offensively and defensively
00:49:17The Cardinals have scored 26 touchdowns
00:49:19And that ball being marked by
00:49:21One of the Dallas aides
00:49:23For Emmitt Smith
00:49:25Number 25 for the year
00:49:27If Emmitt had a microphone in front of him
00:49:29I'm going to guess that he would say
00:49:31Thank you Mark Tuanay, thank you Nate Newton
00:49:33Derrick Kennard, Ray Donaldson
00:49:35Larry Allen
00:49:37Eric Williams
00:49:39Michael Irvin, Moose Johnston
00:49:41All of my offensive teammates
00:49:43Because it is a team game
00:49:45And they all had a little part
00:49:47In the 25 TDs
00:49:49New quarterback is Mike Buck
00:49:51That snap went clear over his head
00:49:53It's a bad beginning
00:49:57Irvin McCormick
00:49:59Is there to end the play
00:50:01Inside the 5 yard line
00:50:03So Dave Craig
00:50:05Done for the night
00:50:07Arizona's season on it's way to
00:50:09Winding towards 12
00:50:11Ed Cunningham the center
00:50:13I don't know what he
00:50:15Expected
00:50:17The quarterback
00:50:19Passed the buck
00:50:21That's a tough deal
00:50:23That was very very pathetic
00:50:25Buck was 6'3
00:50:27Terrible
00:50:29Larry Sessions
00:50:31And Deion
00:50:33Doesn't tackle him
00:50:35And then centers with a stiff arm
00:50:37Before he steps out of bounds at the 33
00:50:39Who would have said
00:50:41It gets 12,999,999
00:50:43To defend
00:50:45And a buck to tackle
00:50:47Dave Brown
00:50:49On a scramble
00:50:51And Deion holding his
00:50:53Leg
00:50:55I'm sure Deion will say right away
00:50:57They don't pay me to do this
00:50:59They pay him a buck
00:51:01That was about
00:51:03A dollar tackle
00:51:05Attempted tackle
00:51:11And
00:51:13The catch is made
00:51:15It's 3rd down and about 7
00:51:17Because of that Aaron Snap and Rob Moore
00:51:19Up to the 39 yard line
00:51:21And it will be 4th down
00:51:23A reminder coming your way
00:51:25A doubleheader on Saturday
00:51:27Wild card doubleheader
00:51:29Miami taking on Buffalo from Rich Stadium
00:51:31The game begins at 12.30 eastern time
00:51:33And then at 4 o'clock eastern time
00:51:35It will be
00:51:37Detroit and Philadelphia
00:51:39Good matchup from the vet
00:51:41Doubleheader
00:51:43Two great matchups
00:51:45On Saturday
00:51:47Miami-Buffalo played a terrific game a couple of weeks ago
00:51:49Buffalo just edging them
00:51:51They'll get another go at them
00:51:53Fourth and one
00:51:55And the Cardinals going for it
00:51:57Buck throws and the pass is incomplete
00:51:59And there is no flag
00:52:01And Dallas will have the football
00:52:03Stevie Anderson
00:52:05The intended receiver
00:52:09And we can tell you
00:52:11That the executive producer of Monday Night Football
00:52:13Has been Jack O'Hara
00:52:15And our new daddy Ken Wolf
00:52:17The great Wolfman
00:52:19Craig Janoff
00:52:21Of Scottsdale
00:52:23Finally gets a home game to wrap up the year
00:52:25Wonderful job Craig throughout the year
00:52:27Joey Chavo has been with this program
00:52:29Since its very inception
00:52:33Ben Harvey has handled the associate producer duties
00:52:35And of course began the year
00:52:37With a great hole in one
00:52:39Steve Bravo
00:52:41Creating the opens
00:52:43And our associate director
00:52:45Great crew of people
00:52:47About 70 of us
00:52:49From week to week around the country
00:52:51As Wade Wilson is the quarterback
00:52:53And Smith takes the ball to the 38
00:52:55Kurt Gotti Jr.
00:52:57Charles Copland produced halftime
00:52:59Which was directed by Calvin Haywood
00:53:01Jeff Suarez the TD at the half
00:53:03Dick Buffington
00:53:05Bruce Clark
00:53:07And the gang
00:53:09Simon McKenna and Weiss
00:53:11Along with Szabo and Licata
00:53:13Sending out the pictures and sounds
00:53:15From around the country
00:53:17And the great Brian Gordon
00:53:19Soon to be emeritus and Victor Vitarelli
00:53:21Our assistant to the producer
00:53:23Great team
00:53:25Proud to be a part of it
00:53:31This is Sherman Williams
00:53:33And he's tackled at the
00:53:3535 yard line
00:53:37Steve Hurt couldn't do it without
00:53:39The man, the man
00:53:41George Hill, Malibu, Kelly Hayes
00:53:43And Andrea Bryant
00:53:45Running the ship from high above
00:53:53It's a splendid group
00:53:57It's not until you see all the names
00:53:59Of the
00:54:01Men and the women
00:54:03When you're on this show, do you realize
00:54:05How many people it takes
00:54:07To get this production
00:54:09Into your living room and family
00:54:13Third down and seven
00:54:17From the 36 yard line
00:54:21Wade Wilson launches one
00:54:23Williams makes the catch
00:54:25Takes it inside the four before he fumbles it out of bounds
00:54:27Lance Brown
00:54:29With the coverage
00:54:31And Kevin Williams has just set a new
00:54:33Dallas Cowboy team record
00:54:35For combined yardage in a game
00:54:37That's rushing, receiving
00:54:39And return yardage tonight
00:54:41For Kevin Williams
00:54:43Through the air alone
00:54:45He has 203 receiving yards
00:54:47Lance Brown on the coverage
00:54:49And he has ruled down right at this spot
00:54:51Even though the ball bounces away and goes out of bounds
00:54:53And the Cowboys are left first in goal
00:54:55And what a night for Kevin Williams
00:54:57That's an excellent call
00:54:59There it is, 314 yards
00:55:01He has accounted for Herschel Walker
00:55:03Against the Eagles in 86
00:55:05Had the old mark of 314
00:55:07Sherman Williams
00:55:11Flags are down with 209 to go
00:55:13In the
00:55:15Fourth quarter, well
00:55:17The guys who bring you the pictures
00:55:21Are just
00:55:23The best ever
00:55:25The all-star crew, Drew's mom
00:55:27Having a little trouble
00:55:29Drew couldn't be with us tonight
00:55:31I had a look at that name a second time
00:55:33Andrew, excuse me
00:55:35Westline
00:55:37And the guys, Kurt Struve and Dave Bushner
00:55:41The group on the
00:55:43And that is some collection
00:55:45Yes, isn't that
00:55:47Especially number 2 and number 3 there
00:55:49They put them in there every Monday night and lock them up
00:55:51Home of Jebella Productions
00:55:57Richie D
00:56:01Steve Korn, Bob Pavetti
00:56:03Just top to bottom
00:56:05Such a wonderful group of people
00:56:09First in goal
00:56:11On the
00:56:13Two-yard line
00:56:15And Sherman Williams bumps into his own man
00:56:17And then gets ridden down by
00:56:19Christian Lumalunga
00:56:21As we come upon the
00:56:23Two-minute warning, that much time left
00:56:25The Cowboys head home with a week off
00:56:27And home field advantage, 34-13
00:56:33What does it take to win two Super Bowls in a row?
00:56:43Two minutes to go
00:56:45As we wrap up our 26th season
00:56:47Dallas has wrapped this one up, Lance Knapp has been with us
00:56:49For several years now
00:56:51Up here in the booth
00:56:53Lighting folks
00:56:55Along with engineering and maintenance
00:56:57And most of us travel
00:56:59Now to Philadelphia
00:57:01For the wild card action
00:57:03Others going to
00:57:05Buffalo, wild card
00:57:07Saturday coming your way
00:57:09This week here on
00:57:11ABC
00:57:13Fred King is still on the crew
00:57:15He's in New York
00:57:17Vince D'Addario there
00:57:19D'Addario controlling the operation
00:57:21We're just
00:57:23Guys, we're just pawns, it's as simple as that
00:57:25Great hand
00:57:27That's what they keep telling us
00:57:29Mark Mandel
00:57:31So
00:57:33Capably handling
00:57:35All of the
00:57:37The plaque, so to speak
00:57:41From both sides of the coin
00:57:45To the three-yard line goes Sherman Williams
00:57:47And
00:57:49The Dallas Cowboys
00:57:51Heading home after the game
00:57:5334-13
00:57:55The Cowboys will wind up with the best record
00:57:57In the
00:57:59NFC, a mark of 12-4
00:58:01And the Arizona
00:58:03Cardinals will end this
00:58:05Season, which began so promisingly
00:58:07At least in terms of the prognostications
00:58:09The mirror image
00:58:11With a mark of 4 wins and 12
00:58:13Losses, and I guess all you can really say
00:58:15At a point like this
00:58:17Is stay tuned
00:58:19Well, that's what I'd say, because
00:58:21Something's going to happen
00:58:23The other thing you can say is it's a good thing that these fans don't have snowballs
00:58:25They brought Buddy in to save it
00:58:27He was 8-8 a year ago
00:58:29And they'll be
00:58:314-12
00:58:33Sherman Williams can't advance
00:58:37Terry Irving making
00:58:39The tackle
00:58:41I'm feeling
00:58:43Smaller and smaller
00:58:45Bit of flexing
00:58:47Didn't realize we had that
00:58:49What, about 70?
00:58:51That's a lot of per diem, baby, I'll tell you that
00:58:57And the blimp
00:58:59Yes, sir
00:59:01Santa heading home, Mickey Whitman
00:59:03Santa acts like he ought to get home
00:59:05Joel Chamberlain and Glenn Hampton
00:59:07Up in the blimp
00:59:09Santa, put your feet up
00:59:11You've had a long, hard day
00:59:13Mickey downstairs coordinating
00:59:15The blimp coverage
00:59:1724-yard field goal by Boniol
00:59:19Is good
00:59:21So Boniol tonight
00:59:23Extending his streak
00:59:25He's kicked three
00:59:27And he's now made 25 in a row
00:59:29It's getting close to a mark, too
00:59:31Well, that'll carry over to next year
00:59:39Not a bad way to
00:59:41Start the year out
00:59:43On the tail end of a 25
00:59:45Consecutive field goal streak
00:59:47That's the longest one he's made, 45
00:59:49The longest one he's tried is 49
00:59:51Cowboys
00:59:53Very effective in moving the ball
00:59:55Once they get down in
00:59:57The red zone
00:59:59So he's
01:00:01Been kicking a lot of chippies, boy
01:00:03That's a tremendous mark to put 25
01:00:05In a row together
01:00:07We'll wrap it up
01:00:09We talked to Bill Bidwell before the game
01:00:11And he said, my preference is to stay here
01:00:13In this area
01:00:15But he wants a new stadium
01:00:17He'd like a dome stadium
01:00:19He's having a very tough time getting anybody
01:00:21To move on it politically
01:00:23We asked him about Buddy Ryan
01:00:25And he said Buddy will be evaluated
01:00:27At the end of the season
01:00:29Which is hedging your bet
01:00:31And there is the owner of the Cardinals
01:00:33Buddy has two more years left
01:00:35Buddy has two more years left
01:00:37On his contract
01:00:41This is Marcus Dowdell
01:00:43Run out of bounds by Brock Marion
01:00:45And the Cardinals
01:00:47Have two years left on their original
01:00:49Commitment to play
01:00:51Here at Sun Devil Stadium
01:00:53In Phoenix
01:00:55And after that, you know
01:00:57This is a franchise in play
01:00:59I think it's safe to say if Bill Bidwell
01:01:01Does not get the new stadium
01:01:03That he would like to have here
01:01:05In the Valley of the Sun
01:01:07He has shown that he's willing to do it
01:01:09This franchise could very well be on the move again
01:01:13Scary isn't it?
01:01:15He feels like he was victimized
01:01:17He feels that he was
01:01:19Promised a dome stadium
01:01:21When he moved here in 1988
01:01:23And it was out on the table
01:01:25And then it was pulled back
01:01:27And there's some hard feelings because of it
01:01:29This sounds like Cleveland all over again
01:01:31As you look at centers
01:01:33Taking it up to the 47
01:01:35It's the football owner
01:01:37Complaining they've taken care of baseball
01:01:39They've taken care of basketball
01:01:41The hockey team's coming here next to the Winnipeg Jets
01:01:43And they haven't taken care of football
01:01:45It sounds familiar
01:01:47I agree, there are similarities
01:01:49And by the way, as this game winds down
01:01:51I want to just say congratulations
01:01:53To Larry Centers
01:01:55He just ran that last play
01:01:57And while he's on the ground
01:01:59He's got a chance for the timeout
01:02:01So he gets a chance to do it one more time
01:02:03Down 37 to 13
01:02:05Here is a warrior
01:02:07This guy is a player
01:02:09It's hard to go to the pro bowl down on a 4-12 team
01:02:11Playing in his position
01:02:13Not only that, setting a record from that position
01:02:17He's a remarkable
01:02:19It's easy
01:02:21It's easier to play well on a good football team
01:02:23Than it is on a loser
01:02:25It's a lot easier
01:02:27They've struggled at the end of the year
01:02:29But they're going to wind up
01:02:31Just where they want it to be
01:02:33The best record in the conference
01:02:35Home field advantage
01:02:37They don't have to worry about facing Green Bay
01:02:39In their first playoff game
01:02:41As Centers takes the shovel pass
01:02:43They will meet either Atlanta
01:02:45If Atlanta beats Green Bay
01:02:47Or the winner of the Detroit-Philadelphia game
01:02:49The season ends
01:02:51On the 100th
01:02:53Reception for Larry Centers
01:02:55In 1995
01:02:57There's still one second left
01:02:59Come on back
01:03:07Arizona just took a time out
01:03:09With one second
01:03:11Buddy pulling a Woody Hayes
01:03:13Whoops
01:03:15Come on buddy
01:03:17Buddy is
01:03:19He doesn't want to come back
01:03:21What if they score on this play
01:03:23Buddy might say something
01:03:25Buddy will say go for two
01:03:27Perfect
01:03:29This restroom is cleaned by Showtime Services Inc
01:03:31What a way to go off the air
01:03:33Look at that
01:03:35Oh man
01:03:37Wacko world of Buddy Ryan
01:03:41Buddy developing real tunnel vision
01:03:47Oh man
01:03:49It was Larry Centers
01:03:51I love this guy
01:03:53Terrific
01:03:55Good for you Larry
01:03:57We'll see him in Hawaii
01:03:59We don't know when we'll see Buddy
01:04:03The Cardinals lined up
01:04:05Four and twelve
01:04:07The Cowboys lined up twelve and four
01:04:09And Dallas with home field advantage
01:04:11Through the playoffs
01:04:13Winning it by a score of 37-13
01:04:15The great Emmitt Smith
01:04:17The record holder now
01:04:19As the Dallas Cowboys
01:04:21End the season
01:04:23On and up though
01:04:2537-13, big weekend coming up
01:04:27Until we talk to you Saturday
01:04:29Al Michaels, Frank Gifford, Dan Deardorff
01:04:31Lynn Swan, goodnight from Tempe, Arizona
