00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000
The Los Angeles Rams faced the Dallas Cowboys in the wild card round of the 1980 NFL playoffs at Texas Stadium on December 28, 1980.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Los Angeles finished the regular season with an 11-5 record under coach Murray Malavesi,

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
and were looking to make it back to the Super Bowl after losing to Terry Bradshaw's Steelers in 1979.

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Dallas finished with 12 wins in 1980 under coach Tom Landry, the first and only head coach that the Cowboys had in their 21 years.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000
This audio recording is from the CBS Radio broadcast featuring announcers Jack Buck and Hank Stram.

7
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:59,000
The blank corral will kick off from our right to our left to get the game started. James Jones is deep. He's averaged 22-plus per kickoff return. He is flanked by Timmy Wilson or Steve Wilson and Timmy Newsom.

8
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:08,000
The loser of this game is eliminated and the winner goes on to play either next Saturday or next Sunday.

9
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
The game is set to be played on Saturday, Saturday, and Saturday in Philadelphia or Sunday in Atlanta.

10
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Meanwhile, the Eagles and the Falcons and the other teams which are not involved in the NFC have the week off.

11
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Here's the kick at the line drive sort of kick. It bounces to Jones. He took it on the one. He's back to the five to the ten.

12
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
To the 15, to the left, to the 20. To the 25 and a five goes down.

13
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,000
It's a very silly, a fine special teams player for the Rams and we expect the clip to be called. In fact, there are two flags down on the field.

14
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:46,000
It's a long clip for the flags to drop Jack. And as you mentioned, there's a clip on the play. The Dallas Cowboys will bring the ball back.

15
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
The officials I should say will bring the ball back and they will not have nearly as good field position.

16
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,000
We should point out Hank that in these games the officials are under very, very tough scrutiny by their supervisors and they're not going to let anybody get away with anything.

17
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
No, there's no question about that. The only thing, you know, we've talked about it many times as coaches.

18
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Jack, you kind of wonder, you kind of wonder about the crews. They pick individual.

19
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Let's look into this.

20
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
First of all, number 71 on the return. First down.

21
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:28,000
They pick individual officials and make up a team for playoff games on merit instead of letting the same team play.

22
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
In the playoff, sometimes Jack can make a big difference.

23
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Now the Cowboys on a toss to Dorsett trying to go left gets to the nine yard line and is tackled at the 10.

24
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
The line of scrimmage was the nine yard line and so Dorsett.

25
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Ain't only a yard or two on the first play, a toss to the left side. There were two flips on the kick return and one of them occurred way back at the 18 yard line.

26
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000
They were penalized half the distance back to the nine. Dorsett just got two and it's second and eight from the Dallas 11 yard line.

27
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Drew Pearson comes to the right. Tony Hill, the wide receiver, to the left side.

28
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Saldy is the tight end and he is on the right side. Splitbacks. Now they shift into the eye with Newhouse the up back.

29
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:21,000
And Danny White on second down on a delay and a busted play. Hands off to Newhouse. He's tackled immediately and it will be third down and eight.

30
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
He ran into the arms of Fred Dreier and Jack Youngblood. Two very good defensive ends.

31
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Yes, they really got off the ball very well that time and I think you have to be very careful when you're playing a game like this one

32
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:38,000
that you don't try to put in too many new things and fool yourself instead of fooling the opposition. You don't have to do them nearly as well.

33
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I don't know what happened on that last play but there was a mix up and they made a big mistake and now it's third and long.

34
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Jeff Delaney checks in as the extra back. Greg Westbrook or Joe Harris the extra linebacker.

35
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Dallas found their own 11 yard line. Third down and eight. Dupree sets up on the right side.

36
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Ships into the shotgun. He has Preston Pearson and now he calls time out.

37
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
He calls time out so the Cowboys really appear to be confused here at the outset of the game.

38
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
13-22 remaining in the first quarter. The Dallas Cowboys have third and eight from their own 11 yard line.

39
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000
They've called a time out with a score nothing nothing. Let us take time out.

40
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Sam, as your accountant, I'm advising you to do something about your office copy.

41
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000
What's wrong George? He's replacing them all the time. That's expensive Sam and peculiar.

42
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,000
But my copying needs keep changing so I have to keep changing my copier. That's the way life is.

43
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:40,000
You have to get a big expensive inflexible copier that's just as big, just as expensive and just as inflexible as your last big expensive inflexible copier.

44
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
That's life. That isn't life.

45
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Sam, next time get a sharp 800 series plain paper copier with microprocessor technology.

46
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Oh?

47
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,000
The paper copier, the high speed copier, the reduction copier, it doesn't matter. Sharp copiers are all flexible.

48
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:01,000
As you need change, you don't go out and get another copier, you add options. You need automatic document feeding, you get an option.

49
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,000
You need electronic cold waving, you get an option. You see? Flexible.

50
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Now I see what they mean when they say sharp people plan ahead.

51
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:17,000
For more information call your local authorized sharp dealer or 800-447-4700. In Illinois call 800-322-4400.

52
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
They're going to make Dallas from their own 11 yard line.

53
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Six defensive backs have checked in there, including Ivory Sully and Jeff Delaney.

54
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
That Delaney has come to be quite a force for the Rams.

55
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Yeah, they like him very much. He's a very active guy and he's played his collegiate football at Pittsburgh.

56
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Six foot 195, good player.

57
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000
And now the Cowboys shift into the shotgun formation.

58
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Preston Pearson sets up with Danny White.

59
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
He always seems to get loose in these pass patterns. Motion by Butts Johnson.

60
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
White has protection over the middle. It is caught and then he didn't make the first down.

61
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Billy Joe Dupree caught it at the 18 yard line and about a yard short of a first down.

62
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
The hit by Ivory Sully and it's punting time for the Cowboys.

63
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
You know, that kind of a pattern really is kind of a meaningless one, Jack.

64
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,000
You ought to be aware of how far you have to go to get the first down. That time it was a yard short.

65
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
He certainly could have gone a yard deep.

66
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
You ought to go about two or three yards deeper to make sure that when you make the catch, in case you get tackled, you still make the first down.

67
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
He came up to get about a yard short.

68
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Danny White who averaged 40 yards, almost 41 for Jack, kicks it to Leroy Urban.

69
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Urban is standing at his 45. A good snap, a little pressure.

70
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:43,000
He gets a driving kick away. Urban takes it on his 39 yard line, runs right, he gets to the 40, tries to come back the other way, breaks one tackle,

71
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
dancing around and returned the ball only three yards out to the 42 yard line.

72
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:54,000
A 46 yard punt, a three yard return, Bruce Hother downfield to make the tackle, and the Rams get the ball for the first time.

73
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
And they're in much better shape than the Cowboys were when they got it.

74
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Yeah, field position turnover is going to be a very important part of this game, Jack.

75
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000
And of course the Cowboys start around their own nine, the Rams on their 42.

76
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:13,000
And any time the important thing is that you take advantage of field position, it's going to be very important for the Los Angeles Rams to take advantage of this situation.

77
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Ed Jones is playing as a fast foot, but he is playing a left defensive end.

78
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Here the crowd rooting Cowboys on.

79
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Ferragamo is the quarterback and he has Gerald Thomas and Cullen Bryant in the backfield with him.

80
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Picks the tight end as a motion, a toss to Gerald Thomas trying to get outside, got one yard, that's all.

81
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Larry Cole pursued, made the hit, brought him down.

82
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,000
And by the way, Cullen Bryant is starting. He's had the flu and he lost 10 pounds this week, but he is answering the call.

83
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:49,000
You know, one thing about using some practice time this late in the season, the efficiency of the way you play will not make much of a difference.

84
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000
And the fact that you've been able to rest some sometimes can be a big factor and help you tremendously.

85
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
The rest of this part of the season is more important than work.

86
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Preston Dinnard comes to the left.

87
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Extra Clingsdale checks in as the extra defensive back for the Cowboys.

88
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Billy Waddy is starting. Bryant goes in motion.

89
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Here's a toss to Thomas, cuts back, got to the 45.

90
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Two yard pick up, it'll be third down and seven for the Rams.

91
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Randy White and Larry Cole playing the inside.

92
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Where are the tacklers on the play? Funny thing, Hank, all these people who weren't going to start are starting.

93
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Yeah, they got well over on the way over on the butt.

94
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:34,000
You know, Jack, I'm surprised with that good field position that they didn't try to throw the ball on first and 10 and try to be on the attack and make something happen.

95
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Sometimes, you know, you play these games and you play with the fear of losing rather than the anticipation of winning and they can be a problem.

96
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Waddy, Dinnard, and Drew Hill are the wide receivers, third and seven from their own 45.

97
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And Ferragamo is going to put it up for the first time.

98
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Short drop, throws long down the middle. Gerald Thomas can't get it.

99
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
He intended it for the back. Gerald Thomas, but nothing happened.

100
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
The pattern was there, but the ball was overthrown.

101
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Yeah, it was there perfectly. I think they confused Ferragamo a little bit.

102
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,000
They came up on the line of scrimmage and created the impression that they were going to blitz and they backed off and the ball was snapped.

103
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,000
He had Thomas open down the middle of the truth right over the top.

104
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
And Jones is back to get the punt. He's averaged 10 yards per punt return.

105
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Frank Corral, who averaged almost 40 yards a kick, will get it away from his 35 and the Cowboys will get the ball for the second time.

106
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Eleven minutes left in the first quarter. No score. Low snap, a good bounce, and there's a kick by Corral.

107
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
He did a good job. Jones takes it on the 15. He's to the 20 running right.

108
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:46,000
There's an alley. He comes to the 25, 30, 35, 40. He's to the 45. He is to midfield. He's down to the 45.

109
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
He's down and tackled at the 42 yard line of Los Angeles. A big return by James Goh.

110
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
43, I return, and what a super play.

111
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Jeff Delaney made the tackle at the Ram 42 yard line.

112
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000
This crowd is wild and the Cowboys should be fired up. We have 10-44 left in the first quarter.

113
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000
A timeout on the field. What a score. The Cowboys, nothing in the Rams, nothing.

114
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Hi, I'm Joe McConnell. And I'm Walter Pagans.

115
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Instead of talking to your tow truck driver this winter, have a chat with your Chicagoland Buick dealer about the 1981 Skylark X.

116
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
And you're going to like what he has to say.

117
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Oh, your Buick dealers are talking your language. We're talking what you want in a car.

118
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000
You want front wheel drive to handle those brutal Midwest winters?

119
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
With the 1981 Skylark X, you've got it.

120
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000
So we match the way we're talking. We like to see you walk in.

121
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,000
So you're your Buick dealer right now. Your Buick dealer's talking your language right now.

122
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Here's real music to your ears. Your Buick dealer has plenty of Skylarks on hand right now.

123
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Four doors, two doors, any color.

124
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Oh, your Buick dealers are talking your language.

125
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Besides Buick luxury and front wheel drive, well your Buick dealer tells you about Skylark's economy.

126
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
The Buick gas mileage is no foreign language.

127
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Your Buick dealers are talking your language right now.

128
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,000
I saw one Dallas player, Hank, who was very smart on that kick return.

129
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
He could have thrown a block, which would have sprung Jones loose all the way to the left sideline.

130
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
He might have gone all the way. But it would have had to have been a clip.

131
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
So he just laid off and said, go get what you can, kid.

132
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Yeah, you always have to be aware. You have to be close enough to him where you can touch his shoe or touch the front of his jersey almost to make sure you don't make a clip.

133
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Let's see if they throw the ball on first and tenth.

134
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
The ball is at the Ram 42 with new house and doors set.

135
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
And on first down, Danny White with Dupree the tight end is back to throw.

136
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,000
He throws long, going far off. He's got it man and incomplete in the end zone.

137
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Incomplete in the end zone to Drew Pearson.

138
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Chasing on the play was the rookie cornerback, Leroy Urban, filling in for Pat Thomas.

139
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
And that's where they wanted to go.

140
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,000
I'm very surprised that Tom Landry would try to take advantage of a young defensive back like that.

141
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
That's right.

142
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
But he might do it again.

143
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
And again and again and again. Yeah.

144
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000
We have 10 38 left in the first quarter. No score.

145
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
The Cowboys have the ball for the second time. There was a flag down on that play.

146
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
And Pat Haggerty marks it off. A 10 yard penalty.

147
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Back to the Dallas 48.

148
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Holding number 61. First down.

149
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
And a holding call against the Cowboys.

150
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
And it's first down and 20.

151
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Well that would have broken the hearts of the Cowboy fans had that pass been complete in the end zone.

152
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
It's first and 20 now.

153
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000
And White gives the ball to new house inside to the 50. Got only two.

154
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
It'll be second and 18. He ran it to Larry Brooks.

155
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,000
But up front the Rams are with Jack Youngblood, Cody Jones, Larry Brooks, Fred Dreier.

156
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And Jack Youngblood didn't make the Pro Bowl team, Hank.

157
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And that's a surprise. But when you look at the other people who did like Al Baker and Dan Hampton and the others who did make it, why then you can understand it.

158
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Yeah. And it was. Leroy Salmon's the other.

159
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Yeah. And of course Youngblood, it's hard to understand why he didn't make it because he's really a terrific player.

160
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
And a dominant factor in this Rams defensive team is that.

161
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Second down and 18 from midfield for the Cowboys.

162
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
They're wearing their white jerseys here this afternoon.

163
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Here is Wyatt on a give. The door set pops over the middle. Gets two. He's driven back.

164
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
And it'll be third down and 16. He ran into the middle of the line.

165
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Joe Harris, the linebacker, had checked in.

166
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Jack Reynolds, the leading tackler on the Rams club, jammed it up.

167
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Third down and 16 for the Cowboys to bring in Preston Derson.

168
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,000
The Rams, the Rams are third. They're a very, very fine disciplined team on defense.

169
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Third in total defense. Fourth against the run and second against the pass.

170
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Very, very strong. And of course on offense, the Rams are number one.

171
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Total offense, one rushing and eight passing.

172
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Butch Johnson is one of three wide receivers. Tony Hill and Drew Pearson are the others.

173
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Two free splits out. They're in the shotgun.

174
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
And there's six defensive backs playing on the Rams.

175
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Motion and White back to throw. Has a lot of time. Looks, dumps it off short, incomplete.

176
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Incomplete at the Ram 45 yard line. He tried to get it to Drew Pearson coming back over the middle.

177
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
The ball was under throw and the Rams will get it for the second time after this punt.

178
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Pearson was open coming across the middle, but Danny White threw the ball falling away.

179
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000
He was not set. He was not anchored well. He could have thrown it, had more time to do it, but hurried himself.

180
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
And for that reason threw the ball poorly on the play.

181
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Leroy Irvin is back inside his 20, waiting for the kick from Danny White, his second of the day.

182
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,000
The line of scrimmage is the Ram 49. We have 904 left in the first quarter, no score.

183
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,000
White, you know, likes to run out of these situations if he gets no pressure, but the Rams come after him and darn near block it.

184
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:14,000
There's a booming punt inside the 10, bounces inside the five, bounces straight up in the air and it's down at the one yard line by Anthony Dickerson, the linebacker.

185
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:23,000
The Rams are way back at their one after a 47 yard punt by Danny White, high into the air and a terrific bounce straight up in the air.

186
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
8.55 left in the first quarter with a score of nothing, nothing but straight timeout.

187
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:41,000
At 50 miles an hour, half of the average car's horsepower, and hence half of the average car owner's gasoline dollar, is spent doing nothing but pushing air out of the way.

188
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Kind of makes you want to cry, doesn't it? Well, cheer up, because we at Buick have been working on the problem, as witnessed by the 1981 Buick Regal.

189
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:58,000
It's not only better looking, it's even more aerodynamic than last year's, and what that does for economy is quite rewarding.

190
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000
In fact, the new Regal offers an estimated MPG of 21 and 30 highway.

191
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Remember, use the estimated MPG of the 21 for comparison. The actual mileage you get may be different. Actual highway mileage will probably be less than the estimated highway fuel economy.

192
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:22,000
See a Buick dealer about buying or leasing a new Regal, and let the air push somebody else around for a change.

193
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Thanks to AM, the early swing in this game is when the Rams failed to take advantage of the good field position they had at their own 42.

194
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
The first time they got the ball, they did nothing, had to punt now their way back at their own one yard line.

195
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Well, the other thing that's amazing, too, the Dallas Cowboys had the ball in the first 42, and they couldn't do anything with it either.

196
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Now they have a defensive advantage because, of course, as you mentioned, the Rams have the ball in their own one yard line.

197
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000
I think it's a good situation right now on first and 10 in that position.

198
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Keep both back and try to ball, try to ball deep, try to lift any barns or let cornerback something strong downfield.

199
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:12,000
There's a tight formation for the Rams with the tight end on the right side, motion by Waddy.

200
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Ferragamo hands off to Thomas, hit at the goal line, just did get back to the line of scrimmage.

201
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:24,000
And the Dallas Cowboys with it, Jones making deep penetration, stop to play cold, no game.

204
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Second down and 10 from their own one for the Rams.

205
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
They might try to do something wrong here in this situation, although it looks like the Cowboys are going to be in the zone coverage.

206
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Here's the pass. Ferragamo from the end, Jones throws long down the middle into Waddy.

207
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
And he couldn't get it. It kind of looked like he didn't see it, eh?

208
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Yeah, it looked like he lost it, but he had a chance at the ball.

209
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000
He would have gone all the way with that one, but he looked like he didn't see the ball at all.

210
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000
And the sun does sit through the open roof of this Texas Stadium.

211
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
I'm sure that Waddy never did see the ball because Ferragamo is right on the money with it.

212
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Yeah, he threw it right down the middle. He brought it in motion and brought him inside and then right up the middle.

213
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Beautifully thrown ball, but evidently he just did definitely lost it in the sun.

214
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
It is third down and 10 from the one.

215
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,000
They'll have very little punting room if they fail to make any yardage.

216
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
The extra back is in there. Extra cling scale for the Cowboys.

217
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Ferragamo back to throw again from the end zone as time steps up.

218
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Throws outside, it's open and incomplete.

219
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000
He tried to get it to Gennard. Gennard had run away from cling scale, but that pass was off target.

220
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
And the Rams will have to punt from their end zone.

221
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
I like their approach to that one yard line.

222
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
They're going to run it out of there against the Dallas Cowboys as big and strong as they are.

223
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,000
They made a good effort to get it out of there with a big play, and they could have had they connected on two passes where receivers were open.

224
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
That ball was the first time thrown very well, and the receiver, Waddy, did not see it that time.

225
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
He had another opportunity to make the play with Gennard, but the ball was thrown a little too far out in front.

226
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Very little room. Frank Corral is at the end line waiting for the snap from Dennis Harrah.

227
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
He got a bad snap the last time and a good bounce.

228
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
He gets a low snap this time and gets it away. Jones is out and takes it at the 40.

229
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Down to the 35, up the middle to the 30. Got all the yards he could. Down to the 25 of Los Angeles.

230
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:38,000
And striking position for the Dallas Cowboys with 7.58 remaining in the quarter.

231
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:44,000
A 37-yard punt, a 13-yard return. They don't score nothing. Nothing much to take down out.

232
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Here's some good news about interest rates from GMAC, the financing people from General Motors.

233
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Even though the bank prime rate has gone higher and higher,

234
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000
you should know that most auto financing rates don't automatically go up with the prime rate.

235
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
And that simply means this.

236
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:06,000
The new Chevy, Pontiac, Olds, Duik, or Cadillac you've had your eye on is probably a lot more affordable than you think.

237
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Your GM dealer has the GMAC financing you need to make sure you get that GM car you're after.

238
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Check it out at your GM dealer today.

239
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,000
One of the greatest is taking a day off, but you didn't want to take off today.

240
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Terry Bregdaw seems strange out there.

241
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Yes, Jack. Strange, but at the same time I'm enjoying the game.

242
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
And what do you think here in the early going? Anything surprising?

243
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Well, I'm in a good field position by Dallas. The kicking game has been excellent.

244
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
The inability, I think, of LA to capitalize on the big plays they've had.

245
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000
The guys open and right now I think they're a little bit unstable and they're not hitting them.

246
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
But the guys have been there. Just took the passive, but they just haven't delivered.

247
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000
What are your wintertime activities going to be now and summertime activities till July?

248
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Well, I'm going to do with my quarter horses, do a little farming.

249
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000
I got a couple of movies I'm going to be doing and that's just about it.

250
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,000
I mainly am going to rest. I'm tired. I'm going to take some time and rest.

251
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Thanks, Tram. You can see the open receivers up here very easily.

252
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Isn't it great? I wish I had this down there.

253
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Thank you, Terry, for joining us. And happy new year.

254
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Thank you. Happy new year.

255
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Perry Bradshaw. Cowboys go from their own 25-yard line and a first down with Newhouse and Dorsett.

256
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
They shift into the eye, two tight ends, Dupree and Southey straight ahead, Dorsett.

257
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
He spins for five. He got six as he stretched out to the 19-yard line.

258
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:33,000
The first significant gain from scrimmage, Nolan Cromwell came up and got him along with Rod Perry.

259
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:39,000
These Rams are very good teams defensively, although they are without Pat Thomas, a Pro Bowl selection this year.

260
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:47,000
I'm sure if we go along in this game, we'll see a lot of the receivers of the Dallas Cowboys going at the Leroy Irvin,

261
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,000
the rookie left cornerback number 47 who is playing for the injured Pat Thomas.

262
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Just inside the Ram 20-yard line, it's second down and four for the Cowboys and Danny White.

263
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000
This is Newhouse and he has hit at the line of scrimmage and dives for two.

264
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:12,000
It'll be third and two coming up for the Rams with seven-ten remaining in the first quarter, no score, clock running.

265
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Up front is Jack Youngblood, Cody Jones, Larry Brooks, Fred Dreier for the Rams, Jim Youngblood, Jack Reynolds, George Andrews are the linebackers.

266
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Leroy Irvin, Rod Perry on the corner, Nolan Cromwell and Johnny Johnson are the safety miss.

267
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Third and two. Might try to fill this ball, Hank.

268
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Yeah, they could. They could go possibly for a play-action pass, but the way they started this drive, I think they're going to try to run it.

269
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
They have three tight ends in there, including Doug Cosby.

270
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
It's third down and two and Newhouse tries for the first down and gets it.

271
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,000
He's inside the 15 and tackled near the 13-yard line up Los Angeles.

272
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,000
A little powerhouse at 5-10, 2-15, waited for the hole, popped in there and spun for extra yards.

273
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:03,000
They evidently, I'm talking about the Dallas Cowboys, evidently feel they can run at the middle of the Rams defense, and specifically at Jack Reynolds, the middle linebacker.

274
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:11,000
They've done a pretty good job of it. They've had to earn everything they've gotten, but they've kind of stayed with that principle by going right at the middle of the defense.

275
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,000
And I'd be very surprised now if they don't throw a play-eye, this would be a good time for a play-eye comparison first.

276
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:24,000
And that was the first, first down of the game. The ball's at the Los Angeles 13 and Ron Springs is in the backfield with Dorsett.

277
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Two tight ends, Saldy and Dupree, and it's Dorsett getting only to the 11-yard line.

278
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,000
And he had to leave his feet to get that yardage. He picked up two. It'll be second down and eight.

279
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000
And they continue to run right at the middle.

280
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Any particular reason for that, Hank? They're running into a strong performer in Jack Reynolds, the middle linebacker.

281
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,000
They're running into two fine, unheld attackers, including Jones and Larry Brooks.

282
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,000
But evidently they feel they can trap him there and try to work inside.

283
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:00,000
And then maybe as the game progresses, work to the outside. But right now, this is what they're featuring running inside.

284
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Robert Shaw is the center. It's second down and eight from the Los Angeles 11 for Dallas, motioned by Pearson.

285
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,000
And white back to throw on second and eight. No pressure into the end zone and complete.

286
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,000
He threw it just out of the reach of Dupree, who seems to think that he was held up in the end zone, hanging on him.

287
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,000
But I don't think that literally was Johnny Johnson, the rookie out of Texas.

288
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:31,000
They had a mismatch that time. They had Drew Pearson on Nolan Clomwell, who normally is the free safety, had him playing man for man on the outside.

289
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,000
And it looked like Pearson had a chance to make a play on the outside, but he threw inside to Dupree.

290
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
And of course the ball goes into place.

291
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Just looking at the overall angle, it would seem that something bothered Dupree because everything else seemed to be right for the Cowboys.

292
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
They had pretty good coverage though, Jack. It wasn't like he was wide open.

293
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
It's third down and eight. Preston Pearson is in and Danny White's in the shotgun.

294
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Third and eight from the 11. Bill is to the left side.

295
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:04,000
And Pearson to the right. And back to throw is Danny White. Looking, looking, looking. Throwing end zone into the corner. Heavy coverage. Incomplete.

296
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:11,000
The ball could not have been caught. There was some bumping down in the end zone, but the ball was thrown out of the end zone, so there was no play.

297
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
I'll tell you something, Jack. You talk about good coverage on the play, on the pass pattern.

298
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
They had everybody fated in good shape, and he had plenty of time to throw the football.

299
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Usually when you have that much time to throw the football, you ought to be able to find somebody, but he couldn't and wisely threw the ball out of the end zone.

300
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And it comes back and they're going to try field goal now on a fourth and eight situation.

301
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Well within the range of Rafael Septien, his longest of the year, with 52 yards. He kicked 11 out of 17.

302
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Charlie Waters will hold the ball at the 18. A 28-yard try by the right-footed soccer-style kicker, Rafael Septien, trying to get the first points of this playoff game with 4.58 left in the first quarter.

303
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:01,000
The snap is good. Waters gets it down, and Septien kicks it through. The Dallas Cowboys favorites in this game.

304
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Go on top, 3-0 with 4.55 remaining in the first quarter.

305
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:20,000
And the second game coming up this afternoon will also be here on CBS Radio with Lindsay Nelson and Jim Kelly, with Houston playing at Oakland in the AFC wild card game at 4.45 Eastern time.

306
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,000
That should be just about the time we're through. It's a New Year's Day tradition, the cotton ball on CBS Radio.

307
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:35,000
And again this year, Hank Stram and I will bring you the play-by-play color analysis as Southwest Conference Champion Baylor University tries to hold back the Crimson Tide of Alabama.

308
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,000
The cotton ball on New Year's Day will be back down here in Dallas. Hear it here.

309
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:52,000
So don't forget Lindsay Nelson's cotton ball preview. You'll also hear it here on CBS Radio. Let's pause five seconds for stations to identify themselves on the CBS Radio Network.

310
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
WBBM Chicago News Report, Radio 78.

311
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Dallas Cowboys lead 3-0 on a field goal by Raphael Septier. Hank, I think we should point out again what a fine athlete that fellow is. He's not a one-dimensional athlete.

312
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:26,000
No, he certainly isn't. And of course we drafted him when I was at New Orleans. He drafted in sixth. But he's a racquetball player, a tennis player, a very fine football player, of course a kicker. But he's got a lot of ability and skill and it's no surprise that he's doing as well as he is for the Dallas Cowboys.

313
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Drew Hill, who returned one kickoff this year, 98 yards, for a score awaits for the kick from Septier. It's high, it's short, and it's taken by Hill on the 10-yard line.

314
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:52,000
He runs left to the 15, to the 20, to the 25, and he's holding out about at the 27-yard line. The Rams will go from there and the linebacker, Bill Rowe, a rookie downfield along with Steve Wilson, to make the, so the kickoff went to the Rams, 27.

315
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:12,000
You know, one thing you have to be very careful of is the coaching staff and the team. When you beat a team like the Rams did the Cowboys several weeks ago, you go back the next time and maybe you change the package, the package of the game plan. You say, well, we did this against them the last time. They'll be looking for that, so we'll do this. And sometimes you fool yourself instead of doing what you did so well.

316
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Center, Ritz-Saul is over the ball. Ferragamo has Cullen Bryant, Gerald Thomas in the backfield in the eye formation.

317
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Here he goes, he goes in motion to the right side.

318
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:35,000
In motion, he fakes to Thomas, a pass by Ferragamo, and it is caught by Dennard at the 45 for a first down. A first down, and he turned around and made a one-handed grab that was superb under the coverage of Aaron Mitchell.

319
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Aaron Mitchell was very deep, and again, the way the Dallas Cowboys play, normally you ought to be able to throw the ball in front of and inside of, providing you get the pass protection. There was a good illustration of the ball was thrown a little bit behind, but a beautiful catch there.

320
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:56,000
And that's the first first down for the Rams. They're at their own 45 yard line. Fairling's three to nothing.

321
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Oh, what a catch by Dennard. He made it look easy. It goes in motion, Ferragamo's short drop, quick pass outside, caught by Dennard, and a pick-up of six yards on the play, and that's what you were looking for, eh?

322
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Yes, I think you have to take what they give you. You have to be patient. That's what they like to do, and you must throw in front of those defensive backs to get them up a little bit quicker and then go for the downfield for the big play.

323
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I know you like the offensive line of Los Angeles.

324
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Well, you know, the Ram offense is so big. Doug Francis, 270, Kent Hill is 260, Saul is 245, Herra is 255, and Crater is 271.

325
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Second down and four. They're in Dallas territory now at the 49. And here's Ferragamo giving the ball to Cullen Bryant. He moves to the 48 down near the 47.

326
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:55,000
He's got two yards, and it's going to be third and two for the Rams. Bob Bruenig tackled him. By the way, Rich Saul, the center, Kent Hill, the left guard, and Dennis Herra, the right guard, are all members of the Pro Bowl team.

327
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
That tells you how good they are up the middle offensively.

328
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:10,000
And of course the fact that they're the leading rushing team in the NFC is a strong indication of the kind of ability and skill they have, especially so since they lost so many of their key runners.

329
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:17,000
They put in Terry Nelson, the other tight end, along with Victor Hicks. They're in the high formation third and two.

330
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Here's a toss to the running back Thomas, gets the first down and more. Down to the 40 to the 39 of Dallas, and that fella can come off the ball.

331
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:37,000
We saw him first make his mark in the Monday night game at New Orleans. And what with the Rams losing any hill, it was Peacock, Wendell Tyler. What a godsend he was to the Rams.

332
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:45,000
And he's listed at 510, 223, and I think he's more like 510, 235, or 240, but he's a real snootball. He's tough.

333
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000
We're down to 305 left in the quarter.

334
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:55,000
If they throw the ball again on first and 10, they've got to flex defense with two people off the line of scrimmage. It's a good time to throw against Dallas. Here they do.

335
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Here's Ferragamo back to throw over the middle, and a flag is down. The pass is caught at the 25, and the play goes down to the 20.

336
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:11,000
And out of bounds goes Preston Dennard, will check the flag. I have no idea what this flag is. It didn't come from the ordinary holding spot.

337
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:19,000
It was downfield. There probably was an illegal chuck or something of a sort. As it turned out, Dennard caught the ball.

338
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Unforced for my conduct, number 50 defense, hands to the face mask. Unforced for my conduct against the Dallas Cowboys, Edie Lewis, number 50.

339
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:40,000
What'd he do, Hank? Did you see it? No, I really didn't. I surely didn't. I was looking at the defensive back, and again, as I mentioned earlier, he's playing so loose over there, so deep.

340
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,000
If you ought to be able to do just what they're doing right now, throw in front of him. They're going to tighten up a little bit now, just close to the end zone.

341
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Oh, they smoked. Look where they put the ball, down inside the 10, and it burst and goes.

342
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Number 50, hands to the face mask, put down.

343
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Charlie Waters, the defensive captain of the Cowboys, appeals and wants an explanation. Pat Haggerty walks away from him.

344
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:13,000
It's a burst and goal at the Dallas 10-yard line. The 251 remaining in the first quarter.

345
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Whoever made the call was very decisive about it. There's no question about that.

346
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Now, Ferragamo and company failing three to nothing have a burst and goal at the Dallas Panthers.

347
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
In the eye, look at the middle. Get to the up-back, Cullen Bryan, and he moves down to the 7-yard line.

348
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Trying the middle again, and now a flag goes down as the play gets rough.

349
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:43,000
It was well after the play was over. A flag was caused about 20 feet into the air to make sure that everybody saw it.

350
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,000
And Pat Haggerty is being called by the umpire. What happened?

351
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:55,000
And we have enforcement-like contact against Dallas again.

352
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:01,000
This time against Bob Rooney, the middle-back.

353
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,000
It's a surprise that that's happening because you have to have a lot of poise, good concentration, all the time.

354
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:15,000
But especially in a big game like this one, you cannot afford to give yardage away as easily as the Cowboys did on the last couple of plays.

355
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000
It is second down and goal.

356
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
It must have been offsetting penalties out there, right?

357
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Yeah, they didn't move the ball, did they?

358
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
No, they didn't move the ball, so...

359
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Hicks will come in motion, probably. Here he comes.

360
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,000
He's got the ball from the 7 for Agamow on a toss for Thomas.

361
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
He gets down to the 5 and lunges to the 1-yard line.

362
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
What a fine run by the running back Gerald Thomas.

363
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Tackled by Randy Hughes and it's third and goal from a foot away.

364
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,000
He made an excellent move that time. The play was designed to go outside, but the end came up the field.

365
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,000
He cut inside. Great vision, excellent balance, and got the ball down to about the half-yard line.

366
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
He stumbled and almost went down at the 6.

367
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Yes, and he got the ball on the goal line. It looked like they might give him the touchdown, but they didn't.

368
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Third down and goal from about a foot away for the Rams, who trail by the score of 3 to nothing.

369
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,000
And it's so important when you get an opportunity, you've got to come out of there with 7.

370
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
You've got to think 7. You can't be thinking 3. You've got to think 7.

371
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
They're in the eye with Bryant and Thomas.

372
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
They give to Thomas, following Bryant's touchdown as he hurdles into the end zone.

373
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:28,000
The Rams go on top with 1.54 left in the first quarter, helped out by the unsportsmanlike conduct call against the Cowboys and D.D. Lewis.

374
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:38,000
So Gerald Thomas gets the score, and that is his third rushing touchdown of the year.

375
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Los Angeles on top, 6-3. Frank Corral will try the extra point. He kicked 51 out of 52 during the season.

376
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,000
1.54 remaining in the first quarter.

377
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Well, they did a good job of throwing the football that time, and that's what you have to do against Dallas.

378
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
You have to throw it and throw it and throw it, and get past Dallas and get all the green.

379
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:08,000
But the kick is blocked by the Dallas Cowboys. The kick is blocked. It was a slow pass from Dennis Herra.

380
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Brownwell put it down well, but the kickers, Corral, got there a little too quickly.

381
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Now the kick is blocked, and the score remains 6-3 with 1.54 remaining in the first quarter.

382
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:33,000
As today in the ball game, the Sun Bowl, Nebraska defeated Mississippi State 31-17, Purdue over Missouri 28-25,

383
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,000
and the Liberty Bowl, the All-Pane Bowl score was Arkansas 34 and Tulane 15.

384
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:50,000
1.54 left in the first quarter.

385
00:35:50,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I think the Los Angeles Rams realize on that drive that they have to go back to what they did the last time they played them.

386
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
They did it once. There's no reason why you can't do it again.

387
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Their big, strong offensive line can contain the defensive line of the Dallas Cowboys.

388
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,000
They ought to be able to throw the ball extremely well if they had the pass protection that they,

389
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,000
as soon as we really would get, and they executed extremely well on that last drive.

390
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Hank, it was simply a face mask call against D.D. Lewis to put the ball down to the 10-yard line.

391
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Un-sportsmanlike conduct. Here's the kick by Corral. Jones waits deep, and he'll return it from the 3-yard line.

392
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Up the middle to the 10, to the 15, to the 20 running right, to the 25-yard line, to the 30-yard line, to the 35,

393
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:44,000
and he is out of bounds at his own 36-yard line. Another 5-6 return by James Jones.

394
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Leroy Irvin tackled him, and it's a good thing for the Rams that he did.

395
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,000
And a good thing, he really did a good job of using the straight arm on that last play.

396
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Did you notice? And he got the much to yardage to cover because of it.

397
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Out to the Dallas 35 with 1-42 remaining in the first quarter. Jones is piling up some kick return yards here.

398
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Drew Pearson goes to the left. Tony Hellers to the right side. Dutree is on the left side.

399
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:20,000
And Danny White has new house and door set in the backfield from his own 35.

400
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Motion by Pearson. Here's the gift to Dorsett running outside left.

401
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:32,000
He moves out to the 40, to the 45, to midfield, out to the 45, and he is out of bounds at the Rams 41-yard line.

402
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000
A big run by Tony Dorsett. He is happy.

403
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Holds his fist still off to get out the back to the line of 7. Johnny Johnson bumps him out of bounds.

404
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:47,000
A big run by Tony Dorsett. 23 yards.

405
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000
You know, Andrew is the right linebacker. He was in a good position. Nobody blocked him.

406
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:56,000
It looked like he was in a good position to make the play, Jack, but he just didn't make the play.

407
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,000
And of course, Dorsett ran right around the outside of him like he wasn't there and went down the sideline for a big game.

408
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Oh, he can motor and he has a little change of pace when he sees that area opening up. He can turn it on.

409
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
And of course, the other thing great about Dorsett is he's a great daylight runner.

410
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:16,000
In other words, whenever he sees a little seam from running room, he really puts it in overdrive.

411
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,000
From the Rams 42, Dorsett tries it again and cuts back and gets to the 40. He picked up 2 yards.

412
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:25,000
We have a minute and a half left in the quarter. The Rams are leading by the score of 6 to 3.

413
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,000
And the clock is running.

414
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Andrew has done a good job that time, number 52, the right linebacker.

415
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
They evidently feel they can do some good running on that side.

416
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:42,000
I think basically people feel that you can run. If you're going to run against the Rams, you're going to run at the right end, dryer, and also at Andrews.

417
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
And this is what they're doing. And of course, they did a pretty good job in the first play.

418
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:51,000
And of course, it used to be Bob Wodzinski over there at that spot for their hands, but he left the football team.

419
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:56,000
And George Andrews out of Nebraska is starting. It's second down and eight from the Los Angeles 40.

420
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,000
A minute remaining in the quarter. Rams lead 6-3. And Danny White is back to throw.

421
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000
He's chased from behind. He gets the block. That helps. He throws over the middle.

422
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,000
And it is incomplete at the 20-yard line and what a big hit.

423
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:17,000
A big hit by Cromwell and the intended pass receiver getting up there as slowly as Tony Hill.

424
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Tony Hill looked like he had possession, but Cromwell really gave him a great shot, a great hit, jarred the ball loose,

425
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,000
and it looks like something might have happened to him physically on the play talking about Tony Hill.

426
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:37,000
That stops the clock with 42 seconds remaining in the first quarter, and it's going to be third and eighth for the Cowboys from the Los Angeles 40.

427
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,000
White is only one out of five for seven yards. Farragamo three out of six, 44 yards.

428
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000
So Danny White starting off a bit slowly.

429
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
You know, surprisingly so because they really haven't had much of a rush on him at all.

430
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:54,000
He's had all kinds of time to fill the football, but hasn't thrown it very well.

431
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Dave Southey becomes a wide receiver now to the right side with Pearson.

432
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Butch Johnson is the third wide receiver. Preston Pearson is in there.

433
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:10,000
And here is White on third and eighth. Back to throws, steps up into the pocket, throws, incomplete at the 30.

434
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Incomplete, he tried to get the ball to Preston Pearson.

435
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Throwing a little bit behind him, but Pearson ordinarily will catch that ball.

436
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Covered by Lucius Smith, fourth down, punting time.

437
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,000
And now we have a penalty flag down.

438
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000
And it may be roughing the passer.

439
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,000
It looks like it is against the Rams.

440
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Roughing the passer against the Rams. That's an automatic first down and a major penalty of 15 yards.

441
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Down to the Los Angeles 25 yard line.

442
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:49,000
First down, roughing the passer, number 51, first down.

443
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:57,000
So instead of punting the ball, the Cowboys have it at the Los Angeles 25 with 37 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

444
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
And the Rams leading six to three.

445
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Randy Hughes of the Cowboys has a dislocated shoulder. He will not be back.

446
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:14,000
So they have lost both starting free safeties, Dennis Thurman and Randy Hughes, when the Cowboys are on defense.

447
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
First down at the 25 yard line.

448
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:22,000
They like to play action pass in this situation. I'll be surprised if they don't do that on this particular play.

449
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Tony Hill still not back in there. Butch Johnson the wide receiver.

450
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,000
And on first down, White's going to throw straight back, looks, throws long into the end zone.

451
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,000
It's open and it's complete.

452
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Every coverage but no play.

453
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Coverage by the rookie Johnny Johnson on DuBridge.

454
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Well it wasn't a play action pass, but it was a pocket pass and he was going to the play.

455
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,000
And the young rookie safety man Johnson really did a good job of coverage on the play.

456
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000
You know you talk about play action.

457
00:41:53,000 --> 00:42:00,000
One fake handoff that safety man may take the one step up for the line of scrimmage that would do him in on a play like that.

458
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:08,000
That's exactly right. You're hoping for him to take a little sniff of what you give him from a play action standpoint and hope to be able to throw on top of him, beyond him.

459
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:14,000
But they elected that time to throw from the pocket, which is something that they don't do nearly as much as throw play action pass.

460
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Thirty-one seconds left in the first quarter. Rams leading six-three, second and ten Dallas at the Los Angeles 25.

461
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:25,000
And he whites a new house trying to get up the middle and brought down for a loss of a yard on the play.

462
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:32,000
And he was tackled by Joe Harris, the linebacker who just happened to pick that slot to penetrate.

463
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
We talk about a guessing game. That's what it's all about.

464
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
He gets right, you're in good shape, he gets wrong, you're in trouble.

465
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,000
He gets right on the defensive call that time.

466
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
I'm surprised they don't go after Leroy Irvin more.

467
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,000
They did it early and had him licked.

468
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:52,000
The defensive time to go after him is on first down, talking about the Dallas Cowboys going over at Leroy Irvin, the young defensive back.

469
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:58,000
It'll be third down and eleven from the Los Angeles 26 for the Dallas Cowboys when we resume.

470
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:04,000
That's the end of the first quarter with a score. The Rams six and the Cowboys three.

471
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Hi, this is Drew Piracy.

472
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,000
You know a long time before I played wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys,

473
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,000
I was the first quarterback for my high school team in South River, New Jersey.

474
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Being a high school football star was great. It was still tough being a teenager.

475
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:25,000
I had to make some big decisions for myself, directing a college, planning my career, and even making a choice about drinking.

476
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Alcohol abuse is a real problem today.

477
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:32,000
That's why it's so important for parents to help their teenagers with straight talk about alcohol.

478
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Like pro athletes, teenagers need good coaching, especially with big decisions.

479
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Having the right information when your teenager needs it can mean a difference between being a winner and not making the grade.

480
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:49,000
That is a free booklet called Straight Talk About Alcohol that can help you help your teenager make the right decision.

483
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:08,000
The preceding message on behalf of the Dispilled Spirits Council of the United States,

484
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,000
furnished by the National Football League.

485
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,000
We start the second quarter. Danny White is one out of five, seven yards.

486
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Ferragamo three out of six, 44 yards.

487
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,000
First down, Dallas two, Los Angeles three.

488
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,000
Rushing, Dallas 47, Los Angeles 23.

489
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000
Three penalties against the Cowboys and it cost them.

490
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,000
One against the Rams. Each team is punted twice.

491
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,000
And it's third down and 11 for the Cowboys.

492
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:39,000
They're at the Los Angeles 26 yard line later today, also on CBS Radio Houston at Oakland.

493
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,000
And then 20 of action next Saturday and Sunday, a total of four games.

494
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:53,000
When the likes of the Eagles and the Falcons and the Browns and Buffalo, Minnesota will be in action.

495
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000
The Dallas Cowboys win this game.

496
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,000
They will be playing at Atlanta a week from today.

497
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:07,000
If Los Angeles wins this game, they'll be playing at Philadelphia next Saturday.

498
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,000
All of the action on CBS Radio.

499
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Let's see what the Cowboys can come up with here.

500
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Tony Hill is back in there. He was injured earlier.

501
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
He comes out and splits left.

502
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,000
Cowboys are in the shotgun formation.

503
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:28,000
They're inciting man for man coverage and it looks like they might try to throw the ball to a back, I would think, on one of those defensive backs.

504
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,000
White's back to throw. A little pressure. Now he's rushed.

505
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
And he provides the rush. Steps up and throws. It's wide open.

506
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Up by Fowley for a foul at the 10 yard line of Los Angeles.

507
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Guy Johnson tackles it.

508
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,000
But you can thank Danny White for his ability to avoid the rush for that completed pass.

509
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,000
By the way, the referee, Pat Haggerty, showed a good delivery straight and he didn't blow the play dead.

510
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Well, he had no reason to at that time. He didn't really get a good shot at the quarterback and Danny White.

511
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:04,000
He showed a lot of poise and a lot of quick feet there to get out of the traffic and throw the ball like he did to the outside.

512
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:09,000
But J. Saldy was wide open, but he was open only because they were so concerned about trying to get to Danny White.

513
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:15,000
It is not first and goal. The ball is just outside the 10 and it's first and 10.

514
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
They're trying to run up the middle.

515
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:22,000
They have Springs in there with Dorsett. They give us the Dorsett.

516
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:27,000
And he got only about a yard, maybe a half a yard.

517
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:33,000
And Cromwell, the safety man, was gambling on the play and ran right into him along with Larry Brooks.

518
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,000
And it's second down and nine.

519
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,000
They really haven't succeeded in making a lot of yardage up the middle, but they continue to try.

520
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,000
They did it again that time and only made a yard on that forward pass.

521
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,000
They're keeping him at home, Hank. I don't know if they're trying to set something up.

522
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Well, there's a time to get him out of the house somewhere along the line. He can't keep it home all day.

523
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Tony Hill is to the left along with Drew Pearson.

524
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,000
And it's second down and nine. Danny White's going to put it up. He's chased out of the pocket.

525
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Dorsett is wide open. He throws inside the 10 and it is caught at the seven yard line.

526
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,000
The tackle made him Italy on Dorsett. Coming up was Johnny Johnson again.

527
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,000
And White might have waited a little too long before he threw.

528
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Yeah, Dorsett was out there all by himself. But by the time he saw him, he drew some other folks.

529
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,000
But he still was able to make the catch.

530
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,000
It's going to be third down and six. The ball is at the seven of Los Angeles.

531
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,000
We have 13 minutes left in the half. The Rams are leading six to three.

532
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:38,000
The defensive play on the field on the part of both sides is quite stout, isn't it?

533
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Yes, it definitely is. They're excellent.

534
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Third down and seven. They're just outside the seven yard line.

535
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,000
They're going to bump it in the outside.

536
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:56,000
And down! Incomplete! To Tony Hill. Great position by Rod Perry. Incomplete.

537
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:01,000
They were in a bump and run. And any time you see that in that position of the field, they're going to try to go up on top.

538
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:07,000
He didn't throw it quite far enough on the outside that time, Jack. And he thrown it farther to the outside.

539
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,000
It would have been an opportunity for him to make the catch, but he didn't. And for that reason, the ball is incomplete.

540
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Rafael Septien, who kicked a 28-yard field goal in the first quarter, will try his second field goal of the day.

541
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
All 43 left in the half.

542
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,000
I'm surprised that he would challenge Rod Perry instead of not going to the other side to Leeward Urban on the play.

543
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Leeward Urban is playing in place of Pat Thomas, who is injured.

544
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,000
A pro ball cornerback.

545
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:42,000
They have Nolan Cromwell, Pat Thomas, and Rod Perry out of their defensive secondary, all in the pro ball for the Rams.

546
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:50,000
This will be from the 16, so it's a 26-yard tie with Charlie Waters holding.

547
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Now the whistle stops play. They're down to the 32nd.

548
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:59,000
They're down on the 32nd clock and a whistle sounds and a delay of game against the Cowboys.

549
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,000
That will make it a 31-yard try.

550
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:12,000
Hank, even when that pass was incomplete and it became fourth down, they hesitated for a long time on the Cowboy sideline before sending the field goal unit on the field.

551
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:20,000
Yeah, evidently they were deliberating a little bit about whether they should go for it or not, and decided against that and went to decide to go for the field goal.

552
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Now the line of scrimmage is the 12, making it fourth and 11.

553
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:28,000
I don't know how many different ways you can kick a field goal, why there should be that much indecision on the play.

554
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Sepien kicked one through from 28 yards earlier, and now this one will be held at the 20 by Charlie Waters.

555
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,000
It'll be a 30-yard try.

556
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:45,000
We'll wait for the snap.

557
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Everything quiet. The snap is good. Waters gets it down. Sepien kicks it through.

558
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:55,000
And they have a tie game with 12-40 remaining in the half.

559
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:24,000
A ram touchdown and a block extra point to Dallas Field Goals, and with the score tied 6-6, let's take time out.

560
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,000
We'll be right back.

561
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,000
This Bud's for you.

562
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Anne Heiser Bush, St. Louis.

563
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:08,000
Thanks, fam. I hope this good weather prevails Thursday, New Year's Day, when we're back down here for the cotton ball game.

564
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Just so it doesn't turn out to be like it did several years ago when the Notre Dame and Houston played.

565
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,000
It's very, very cold. It'll be a baler in Alabama here on CBS Radio on New Year's Day.

566
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:25,000
The game kicking off, and Drew Hill is the deepest for the Rams. 12-40 left in the half, score tied 6-6.

567
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Nothing determined at this point as to who will be eliminated this afternoon.

568
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Here is the kick from Sepien. It's a boomer.

569
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:46,000
High and deep and into the end zone, and Drew Hill says no thanks. It'll come off to the 20-yard line.

570
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Folks, Wynn Elliott is hard at work right now preparing a Super Bowl special.

571
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:59,000
You'll be anxious to hear. A 20-part series capturing the excitement of NFL season past and present.

572
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Here it is, Super Bowl weekend, January 24th and 25th, with Wynn Elliott on CBS Radio.

573
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Dennis Thurman is in there at the free safety spot, with Randy Hughes out now with a shoulder separation.

574
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Vince Thuracamo has Nelson, his tight end, in motion, and he is back to throw.

575
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:28,000
He sets up, has time, throws long over the middle, and it's caught at the 40 to the 45, and now a pummel.

576
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,000
It's recovered, and it's kicked, and it goes out of bounds.

577
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:42,000
And let's see who gets it as it belongs to the Rams at the 34, because the pass receiver was the last man to have possession of the ball.

578
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:53,000
There again, Jack, there again was a great illustration of a player having an opportunity to just fall on the ball, and it would be Dallas ball, their possession.

579
00:52:53,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Instead, he did not fall on it and get this team in trouble by not making a play on the pummeled ball.

580
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Preston Denard caught the ball, so he was the last to have possession.

581
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:10,000
He pummeled it cleanly, just popped out of his arms. The Cowboys had it, lost it, pumped it out of bounds at the Dallas 34.

582
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Aaron Mitchell had a chance to make the recovery.

583
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,000
The ball is at the Dallas 34, and a first down for the Rams.

584
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:25,000
Here is a delay to Cullen Bryant running right. He loses from the arc, and Randy White really dumped him, and then a flag went down.

585
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:30,000
He's headed off to Cullen Bryant. He will drop on the line by Randy White.

586
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,000
I think against Dallas, and I've mentioned it so many times, I think you have to throw, throw, throw, and then run in between, Jack.

587
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:39,000
You cannot worry too much about your running offense against this team. I think you have to throw the ball.

588
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,000
You have to run enough to keep him honest, but you have to throw the ball consistently.

589
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Holding against the Rams, the ball was at the 34.

590
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:55,000
These holding penalties are seldom refused. It will be marched back to the 44.

591
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,000
And it will be first down and 20.

592
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Holding against the Rams.

593
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:16,000
12-18 left in the half.

594
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Having trouble with hearing the announcement from Pat Haggerty.

595
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:27,000
Now the Cowboys go into their pass defense. They take out Brunig. They take out John Dutton.

596
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,000
They take out Pee Dee Will.

597
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:36,000
And the Rams have a long way to go. They're at the Dallas 44 with a first down.

598
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:43,000
They stay on the ground with Cullen Bryan. It opens up inside the 40, down to the 35-yard line, and he got nine yards.

599
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000
And the Rams won against the Tendency and picked up a quick nine.

600
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,000
It's really a good play because they're expecting you to throw the football.

601
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:57,000
They've got their defensive backs in the game with the hope and expectation that you're going to throw the ball if you run it and block it properly while you're blocking against defensive backs instead of linebackers.

602
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,000
And you ought to be able to make yardies.

603
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Bryan picked up nine and it's second down and 11.

604
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Mr. Klinkstale was the tackler. He's the rookie out of South Carolina State.

605
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Charlie Waters goes off the field for the Dallas Cowboys.

606
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Second down and 11.

607
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Back to the middle.

608
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,000
And it is caught inside the 25-yard line.

609
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,000
With a strong reception by Terry Nelson, the tight end.

610
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Many barns hanging out of it but couldn't stop him.

611
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,000
And it's a first down for Los Angeles inside the Dallas 25.

612
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:33,000
The middle was very open which was very obvious on the play and the important thing is that we, you know, it's not that we saw it up here.

613
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:38,000
The important thing is the quarterback sees it quickly enough and he did and he's got a terrifically well, good release.

614
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Got rid of the ball quickly right in the middle area and picked up a nice game and a play.

615
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,000
To the Dallas 23-yard line.

616
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,000
Charlie Waters is back in there for Dallas.

617
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,000
He's an integral part of their defense.

618
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Here is Ferragamo on the ground to Cullen Bryan.

619
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,000
He moves down to the 21.

620
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000
And he was able to get two yards.

621
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Waters and John Dutton were the tacklers.

622
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:03,000
That was a strong pass reception by Terry Nelson.

623
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,000
He's been in and out of the Ram lineup with a recurring groin injury.

624
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,000
He's caught only three passes before today.

625
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:14,000
When the tight end releases from the line of scrimmage and sees that the safety men are deep or going in opposite directions, he's got to look for the ball quickly.

626
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,000
He did that time and the coordination between the quarterback and the tight end was excellent.

627
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,000
Waddy, despite a hip pointer, is playing.

628
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,000
He's wide with Dinnard.

629
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Second and eighth.

630
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Ferragamo is going to pass.

631
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Good protection.

632
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:26,000
He's hit.

633
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Now he throws it in the end zone and incomplete.

634
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:34,000
And Ferragamo really took a wallop by conflicting Charlie Waters.

635
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Waters was really coming after him and Ferragamo just didn't get rid of it.

636
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,000
And that was the back side.

637
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:47,000
And that's what you don't like to have happen to you as a quarterback.

638
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,000
You're looking intently downfield.

639
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,000
You're trying to hit somebody in the slack to the right side.

640
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Never saw Waters coming and really took a shot in the back.

641
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Ferragamo is five out of nine for 86 yards.

642
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,000
The ball is at the Dallas 21-yard line.

643
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,000
Third down and eighth for the Rams.

644
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,000
They're tied 6-6 here with 10-21 left in the air.

645
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,000
Boy, look at that middle again.

646
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Ferragamo drops the throw, throws long into the left corner.

647
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,000
Touchdown for Los Angeles.

648
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,000
On the money to Preston Dinnard.

649
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,000
No flags and the Rams go on top.

650
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,000
He beat Aaron Mitchell on the corner.

651
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,000
He certainly did and Aaron Mitchell fell on the play.

652
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Fell on the play and for that reason he was open, talking about Dinnard.

653
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,000
But they've got a lot of ability, a lot of skill.

654
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,000
And again, that time the pass protection was very, very fine.

655
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:47,000
Ferragamo laid it right in the arms of Preston Dinnard who caught his seventh touchdown pass of the year.

656
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:55,000
And as Hank called it for you, Aaron Mitchell hit the deck as he was trying to cover and Dinnard ran by him.

657
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,000
The extra point drive by Corral was blocked earlier.

658
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Another little snap.

659
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Crammo gets it down.

660
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,000
The kick is good.

661
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:09,000
And the Rams have a seven-point lead with 10-17 remaining in the half.

662
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,000
The Rams have never been behind and now they lead by seven points.

663
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
We'll be back with a Los Angeles kickoff in just a moment.

664
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:24,000
You know there's nothing more aggravating than having trouble trying to start your car on a cold winter day.

665
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:30,000
The fault starts, it stops, and stalls.

666
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Well, heat fuel system dryer and antifreeze eliminates all that nonsense.

667
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,000
Get your car ready for winter.

668
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Use heat to take out moisture caused by the hot, humid weather of this past summer.

669
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Heat eliminates moisture caused cross and sputters right now.

670
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,000
Just add heat to your gas tank.

671
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:55,000
It ensures quick start and smooth, trouble-free engine performance even on those icy below zero days.

672
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
So buy protection right now.

673
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Buy a supply of heat fuel system dryer and antifreeze.

674
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,000
A small investment for a driver's peace of mind.

675
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,000
It's sold everywhere.

676
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Just look for the distinctive yellow bottle with the long, easy-to-pour neck.

677
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Heat, H-E-E-T.

678
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Ghost dog, buy heat.

679
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:20,000
Los Angeles Rams overcame a holding penalty to go in for that score that,

680
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:25,000
that running play Hank on first and 20 that picked up nine yards really helped them along the way, didn't it?

681
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Well that's always a fun thing. You know you have to run when they expect you to throw and throw when they expect you to run.

682
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,000
And that's exactly what they did. They anticipated pass evidently.

683
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,000
They ran the play up the middle with Colin Bryant. He picked up nine and they got a big chunk.

684
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,000
And the big thing is you don't want to try to get it all back on one play.

685
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,000
They were, they had 20 yards to go. They got nine of it back and then from there it went on in good shape.

686
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,000
The kick by Corral coming up to get it is Jones.

687
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,000
He took it on the seven. He's to the ten running right to the 20.

688
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,000
He's out to the 25 and did not get to the 30.

689
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Tackle at his own 29. He's had some fine kick returns.

690
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:01,000
And Joe Harris, the Ram linebacker, made the tackle with 10.08 remaining in the half.

691
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Los Angeles leading 13 to 6.

692
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Kickoff to the Dallas 29.

693
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
What do you expect from the Cowboys here Hank?

694
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Has their approach been any different than you thought it would be?

695
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,000
I'm surprised they're trying. They're spending so much time trying to run up the middle.

696
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,000
That's really the surprising thing to me so far in the game.

697
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,000
They concentrated a lot of their energy running up the middle.

698
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
They haven't made a lot of yardage but they continue to try.

699
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Let's see if they continue to do it here.

700
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Doss is in at the defensive end spot for the Rams.

701
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Springs is in the backfield and here is White back to throw.

702
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:39,000
And he throws the screen and it is caught by Dorsett to the 35 to the 40.

703
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,000
He has the first down out to his own 44.

704
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,000
He bobbled the ball, held on, got the blocks that he needed.

705
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Johnson and Comwell was hasting in.

706
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Finally stopped the play at the Dallas 44.

707
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,000
They run that screen very well.

708
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,000
Yeah, there's an off-the-play action fake.

709
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,000
They faked to him and threw back.

710
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:00,000
They faked to him and threw back to the opposite side, to the left side, to 20 Dorsett.

711
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,000
He makes the catch and he was very close to his line at that time.

712
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Anytime you're that close, sometimes it's very hard for the quarterback to locate the running back or the receiver.

713
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,000
But he didn't in that particular case and they succeeded in making a first down.

714
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,000
White a first down pass from his own 44 over the middle and knocked down.

715
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:22,000
A brilliant defensive play was made by the Rams and Johnny Johnson out of Texas, the rookie.

716
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,000
They really like him.

717
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Very easy to understand why they like him.

718
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:31,000
I talked to Kosserman recently and they asked for a grade on him on his defensive backs.

719
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,000
He gave him a grade of 4.5, 5 being the best.

720
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:41,000
And he's 4.5 they think at this stage of his career, which is really amazing for a defensive back and especially a rookie.

721
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,000
9.22 left in the half.

722
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:48,000
The Rams are leading 13 to 6, second and $10 from their own 44.

723
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,000
Here is White with a toss to Dorsett.

724
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,000
It's open to the 45 to the 50.

725
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,000
He is out of bounds and he did not get a first down.

726
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Here's Cheyenne with a first down by about a yard.

727
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,000
And that was a second down play.

728
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:05,000
It will be third and one for Dallas at the 47 yard line of Los Angeles.

729
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,000
Jim Youngblood, the linebacker, got him out.

730
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:12,000
The important thing, the reason that play was successful that time, Jack, was because they went on a quick count.

731
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:16,000
The Rams were still moving trying to adjust to the formation and while they were doing that,

732
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:21,000
they snapped the ball and they got around the outside before the defensive linebackers,

733
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:26,000
the linebackers I should say, were able to recover and make a play on the outside.

734
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Now they measure to see if he made a first down. He is indeed less than a yard short

735
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,000
and will be third down and one at the Los Angeles 47.

736
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:39,000
And Seasons greeting strongmen and women around the world listening on American Forces Radio.

737
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,000
And a Happy New Year to all from CBS.

738
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:46,000
9.16 left in the half.

739
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Cowboys started from their own 29. They had a screen to Dorsett, a run by Dorsett.

740
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:56,000
They're into Rams territory at the 46, third one.

741
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Will they play it straight here or hank or go for a quick six?

742
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:06,000
I would think, I would think that they would run the ball for the first down.

743
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,000
I would think that's what Landry's going to do. Maybe in this game he might change, but I think probably he'll try to run the ball.

744
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,000
They have Springs and Dorsett in the backfield.

745
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Rams are tough against the run and here's a quarterback sneaking a first down.

746
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:22,000
Danny White went to the 45 of Los Angeles for a first down.

747
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:26,000
White is 6'2", 192.

748
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:31,000
Daniel is able to force his way behind Robert Shaw who's starting in place to go on Fitzgerald.

749
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Pat Dunovan and Jim Cooper are the tackles. Herb Scott and Tom Rafferty are the guards.

750
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:41,000
I haven't been able to watch it Hank, but I suspect that Cooper's been doing a good job against Jack Younglook.

751
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,000
Yeah, I think he has. I think he has been doing a good job.

752
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,000
And Shaw at 6'4", 245 and played his collegiate football at Tennessee.

753
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,000
This would be a good time for a, well I thought maybe they were going to throw.

754
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Here's the toss the ball and he's going to throw.

755
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,000
He sets up and now runs.

756
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Then he is down to the 42 yard line and he picks up two, maybe three yards.

757
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Good coverage downfield. In fact they had double coverage on the man to whom he wanted to throw, Tony Hill.

758
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Cromwell was there, helped out by Rod Perry.

759
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:12,000
He kind of had the feeling as soon as he got the pitch from the outside that he was going to try to throw the ball, the defensive backs recovered.

760
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
And read it very, very well.

761
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
And Tony Hill had no chance whatsoever downfield.

762
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:22,000
And Dorsett wisely kept the ball and tried to get the most out of the play as he possibly could.

763
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Coming up on the eighth minute mark remaining in the half,

764
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Los Angeles is on top in this NFC wild card playoff game 13 to 6.

765
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:34,000
And it is second down and seventh from Moran, 42 for the Cowboys.

766
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,000
I'm surprised they haven't gone after Herb and more than they have.

767
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,000
They haven't done that except from the first time.

768
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,000
Here they go.

769
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:47,000
By good care, Samantha, 23 for a first down right in front of your man, eh?

770
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Yeah, I was surprised they haven't done more of that.

771
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,000
I don't know why they don't continue to do more of it.

772
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:56,000
They did it twice in a game. They had him licked on a big play early and threw it over the top.

773
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:02,000
This is only the second time they've thrown her in front of him, but I think you've got to challenge him and throw the ball at him as much as you possibly can.

774
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,000
This is an official's timeout.

775
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:11,000
The Cowboys have just picked up a first down at the Los Angeles 23 with 729 left in the half.

776
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,000
And now they start the clock again.

777
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,000
First down at the Los Angeles 23.

778
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:23,000
White's picking it up a little bit. He's six out of 13.

779
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:27,000
715 remaining in the half.

780
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Out come the Cowboys. The crowd comes alive.

781
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:36,000
Saldy sets up his wing back to the left, springs in the backfield with Newhouse.

782
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,000
This is a big time for a play I can pass.

783
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Down he goes in motion and here's Doris Set popping it up the middle.

784
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:46,000
He's down inside the 15-yard line for a first down through the 11th. The ball came loose.

785
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:52,000
And it belongs to...it belongs to Dallas. The play was whistled in.

786
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:57,000
And it is a first down.

787
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:03,000
Doris Set. Blue down to the 12-yard line. It is a first down to the Los Angeles crowd.

788
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,000
The ball came loose and the play was whistled in.

789
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:09,000
A kind of thing that the motion by Saldy confused the Rams and it was wide open up the middle.

790
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Well the thing they did that time, they played with a double tight end offense that time to make sure that the linebacker was on the line of scrimmage instead of off.

791
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:22,000
They did a good job of blocking him. They got a seam and Doris Set did a good job on a delayed draw play from rollout action.

792
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,000
First down at the 12-yard line.

793
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Pearson is to the right. Springs is in the backfield with Doris Set.

794
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:33,000
First down at the Rams 12. It's 25 left in the half clock running.

795
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:39,000
Rams leading 13 to 6 and on first down White gives the ball to Doris Set. A good block by Springs.

796
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:43,000
He scores! He's in the end zone from 12 yards out.

797
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,000
Rams win 7.

798
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Well they did a good job of blocking at the point of attack.

799
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:54,000
The right tackle, Cooper, the right guard, Rafferty, the tight end beat 3.

800
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,000
They all did a super job of knocking him off the line of scrimmage.

801
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:02,000
It was a seam. Anytime you give Doris Set a seam, as I told you a minute ago, Jack, he sees running room.

802
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Boy, he really puts it in high gear. He did it that time and went right into the end zone.

803
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,000
Unmolested for the touchdown.

804
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:14,000
Warmwell, the safety man, was uptight at the line of scrimmage and Doris Set simply outran him.

805
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,000
And now with Waters holding, set the end.

806
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Who's missed only one all year will try to tie it up.

807
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:26,000
We wait for the snap. There's been some low snaps. This one was high. The kick is good.

808
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,000
We have a tie game.

809
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,000
13-0 with 6-6-8 remaining in the half.

810
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:37,000
And with a score, Los Angeles 13 and Dallas 13, let's take time out.

811
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Here's how to talk your chauffeur into the idea of Buick's little limousine.

812
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:47,000
The 1981 Century Savant. First, point out the Buick quality.

813
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:53,000
Next, show him the elegantly appointed interior. Then point out the trim, intelligent lines, and V6 engine.

814
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:58,000
If he argues that limousines are supposed to be large and expensive and the Century is neither,

815
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,000
tell him when he starts making the payments that he can pick out the car.

816
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Wouldn't you be pleased by the power of Buick?

817
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:13,000
This is Larry Zaca. In 13 years of pro football, I've seen some pretty tough guys up close.

818
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:17,000
But I've never seen anything tougher on fuel bills than Whirlpool tight-fifth gas furnace.

819
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:22,000
It's an induced draft gas furnace engineered by Whirlpool to meet the high cost of energy.

820
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:27,000
So if you want to get tough with your fuel bills, get a tight-fifth gas furnace from Whirlpool.

821
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:31,000
Take it from a guy who knows this is one tough furnace.

822
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:38,000
So check your yellow pages for the Whirlpool gas furnace dealer near a fuse.

823
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:43,000
71 yards, 8 plays for the Cowboys. Tony Dorsett, a big part of the drive.

824
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:47,000
They took the kickoff at their 29 and screened to Dorsett to the 44.

825
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
And then Dorsett ran to the 40, the pass to Pearson, set it up.

826
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,000
Dorsett ran to the 12 and then took it in.

827
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,000
We have a tie game, 13-all with 6-16 left in the half.

828
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Drew Hill is back to take the kick from Septian, who boomed it into the end zone his last time.

829
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:09,000
Raphael kicks the ball high. It will be returned. And it is taken by one of the wingmen at the 10 to the 15

830
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:16,000
and to the 20 and out to the 25 yard line. And a flag goes down as Lucius Smith returned to the 25.

831
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:20,000
A flag is down. It's probably a clip.

832
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:25,000
And Rans will be backed up. A clip against Los Angeles.

833
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,000
Nasty crowd here. They're roaring.

834
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:34,000
They sold more than 24,000 tickets the last couple of days of this week.

835
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:41,000
Had a big sale two days ago of 12,000 in order to bring about the sellout.

836
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,000
The ball's marked at the Ram tent.

837
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:54,000
Crystal foul, 15-75 on the return for Sound.

838
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Three penalties against Los Angeles now, four against the Cowboys.

839
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Rans are way back at their 10 yard line with 6-07 left in the half and the score tied.

840
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,000
13-all, Billy Waddy is wide to the left.

841
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Preston Dinnard is a wing to the left and now he comes in motion.

842
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:18,000
And on first down, here's Ferricamo giving the ball to Thomas. Thomas cuts back and he is hit.

843
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,000
And he got only a yard and a half.

844
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Well that's one factor in this game which hasn't become evident.

845
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,000
That is the running of Gerald Thomas.

846
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,000
And you can understand that against the Dallas Cowboys.

847
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Well, here again, I think you can run against Dallas if you establish the pass early in this area of the field.

848
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,000
You know, you're going to try to run the ball and try to get some yardage and get it out of there.

849
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,000
That time Harvey Martin did a good job.

850
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,000
But you can't miss. It's harder to run outside of Martin.

851
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Easier to run inside of him than it is outside.

852
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Here's a toss to Cullen Bryant trying to get outside. He's out to the 15, to the 18 yard line.

853
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,000
And it will be third down and two for the Rams.

854
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:59,000
Dallas up front as Jones, Cole, White and Martin.

855
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:03,000
Or Dutton. Jones, Dutton, White and Martin.

856
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,000
And the tackle on that trip was made by Dee Dee Lewis, the linebacker.

857
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Third and a yard and a half for the Rams at their own 18.

858
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:16,000
And Martin that time got off his block very well and got a piece of the tackle that also helped him to play.

859
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:22,000
We have five minutes left and a half.

860
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,000
Cowboys fans know if they stop him here they'll get the ball and a punt.

861
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,000
It's third down the yard and a half.

862
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,000
And Ferragamo is going to pass.

863
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,000
He looks, he looks, he looks, he looks, he looks.

864
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,000
He throws long and the tight end can't get it.

865
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Walled Arnold was out there inside the Dallas 45.

866
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,000
He just didn't have the speed to run under it.

867
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,000
They called the right play and it would have worked.

868
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,000
But the pass was overthrown just a drop.

869
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,000
He had a chance to hit the receiver downfield.

870
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,000
But Victor Hicks is the guy that was open on the play, number 81.

871
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,000
He should have been satisfied just to get the first down.

872
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Hicks was open. He looked downfield, had plenty of time to throw the ball, threw it way over the top.

873
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,000
But the guy that was open and should have thrown the ball to was Victor Hicks.

874
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,000
He either made the yardage for the first down.

875
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:07,000
Frank Corral will punt. He'll take the snap at his five and James Jones is back to get it.

876
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,000
Dallas should be in good shape.

877
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:13,000
Jones stands inside his 45 to get it with 4.43 left in the half scored tie.

878
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,000
A good snap from center.

879
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,000
The kick by Corral is not too hot.

880
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:21,000
And Jones takes it on the 44, runs right, gets to midfield, turns the corner a little bit.

881
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,000
He's down to the 45. He's down to the 40 yard line and out of bounds.

882
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,000
He is out of bounds with the Los Angeles 40.

883
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,000
A first down and Jones.

884
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Hicks returns are a big item in this game.

885
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,000
A 39 yard punt, a 15 yard return.

886
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,000
Four and a half minutes exactly left in the half.

887
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,000
First down Dallas at the Ram 40.

888
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,000
The score tie is 13 all. Let's take time out.

889
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Welcome to the office of the future.

890
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Makes corrections right here on the display screen.

891
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,000

892
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,000
The whole new host palette.

893
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000
The touch of the button.

894
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,000
Adds and subtracts.

895
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,000
Change margin.

896
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,000
Page number and heading.

897
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,000
The world of business machines.

898
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:12,000
It's a confusing tangle of equipment, capabilities, and promises.

899
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:17,000
But now, out of the confusion, emerges Exxon Office Systems Company.

900
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:23,000
We've innovated such advances in office technology as Quicks, the intelligent typewriter.

901
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:30,000
An electronic marvel with a host of automatic features that free secretaries from the monotony of routine office typing.

902
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,000
We also make other advanced office products.

903
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:38,000
But most of all, we make it simple to make your office more productive.

904
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,000
Introducing Exxon Office Systems.

905
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:54,000
At halftime on our broadcast, Brent Musburger will come along with Jim Finks, the General Manager of the Chicago Bears, John Jefferson,

906
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,000
the fine receiver of the San Diego Chargers.

907
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,000
And Brent will also offer his opinion as to who will reach the silver ball.

908
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,000
He's a braver man than I am.

909
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,000
The ball is at the Los Angeles 39 in a first down for Dallas.

910
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,000
The Red Springs in the backfield with Dorsett.

911
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Scores tied 13-all.

912
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:17,000
Excuse me, Jack. This would be a good time for a play-action pass on first and 10.

913
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:24,000
Danny White, the quarterback, hands it off to Springs, and he goes down to the 37-2 yard pickup.

914
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Springs got two. Cromwell made the tack right.

915
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:33,000
I can't understand when they've gotten good field position like they have right now. They've been very conservative on first and 10.

916
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:39,000
You would think they'd go after people on the first and 10 situation with some kind of a forward pass.

917
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Not surprising to see Dorsett having a good game, is it?

918
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:46,000
No. That's never a surprise because he's really one of the great running backs in the National Football League.

919
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:54,000
He's got tremendous speed. And again, any time he has a chance to pick up yardage with his obvious running room, boy, he's really tough to tack.

920
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:59,000
He's got a good game down and eight. Three wide receivers for the Cowboys out of the shotgun.

921
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Danny White sets up drills it over the middle end.

922
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,000
And it's intercepted.

923
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:13,000
And it's intercepted by Cromwell at the 30-35. He is out to the 39, the first turnover of the game, and the ninth intercepts him by Nolan Cromwell of the year on a deflected pass.

924
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:19,000
What an alert play. Here's an illustration. I think a great player, a great athlete, can make this kind of a play.

925
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:32,000
Cromwell was deflected, but his reactions were excellent. He was able to get the tip ball, ricocheted, makes the play, and takes the Los Angeles Rams right out of the suit.

926
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:35,000
Twenty-sixth interception against Danny White this year.

927
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:40,000
What's the Rams at their own 39? And Cromwell did not try to run it back for a touchdown, Hank. He made sure he kept the ball.

928
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,000
That's exactly right.

929
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:55,000
First down at the 39 for Ferragamo and Company. First turnover of the game. Ferragamo's pass over the middle, and it is caught out at the 49, probably for a first down by a diving Billy Waddy.

930
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,000
It's very close to a first down.

931
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Coverage was by Benny Barnes, and it wasn't very tight.

932
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:08,000
It never is very tight, and that's why it's so important that you throw in front of and throw at Benny Barnes and Aaron Mitchell, 31 and 34.

933
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:15,000
You know, you ought to give your receivers a baseball glove, a catcher's glove, and just play catch, Jack, because you can do that the way those people cover on passes.

934
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Second down and one, a good down for the Rams to gamble if they wish. We have exactly three minutes left in the half.

935
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:31,000
And on second and one with Bryant and Thomas Ferragamo's going to gamble. He throws down the left sideline, and a flag goes. Is a flag thrown or not?

936
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,000
No, it's just a cap.

937
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:40,000
Now the official lost his cap. The pass is incomplete. Charlie Waters was covering Dennard, and he gave him no running room.

938
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:44,000
Dennard had to go out of bounds, and once you do that, you can't come back in and catch the ball.

939
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:50,000
I kind of think that's why the official threw his hat down to make sure he was reminded that he was pushed out of bounds and couldn't come back and make the play.

940
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Two-fifty-three remaining in the half, and now the Rams will be in tenth.

941
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:59,000
I'm picking up the first down. It's third down and inches on their own, 49.

942
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:08,000
They have two big backs in there, Cullen Bryant and Gerald Thomas. And the tight ends are Nelson and Arnold.

943
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:15,000
Here is the running back Thomas failing to get a first down, and a flag goes down. And another flag goes down.

944
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:23,000
Gerald Thomas went rather deep. He was trying to get a first down on third and inches. He went deep, and the penetration was made by Bob Brunig, the middle linebacker.

945
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:28,000
That's kind of a player's tough. It's always difficult to bring the ball from the left side.

946
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,000
A holding against Los Angeles.

947
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Left side all the way over to the right side. It's a long time to hold those blocks. I've said it many, many times during the course of the season, and very few times you see them succeed in making that yardage because it's too far to go.

948
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:51,000
It was third down and one, and now a holding call. And if the Cowboys decline it, the Rams will have to punt or gamble on fourth down.

949
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,000
I would think they're going to decline the penalty.

950
01:17:54,000 --> 01:18:03,000
Holding. It is declined, and it's fourth down and one.

951
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:12,000
And they're motioning from the Rams sideline. They want to see where the ball is, and they just cross them up here, Hank, and try to go for it.

952
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:19,000
We have 2.48 remaining in the half. The Rams have not automatically sent their punting team on the field.

953
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:26,000
They're going to call for a measurement. Ferragamo wants to know exactly how much room he, how much yardage he needs on fourth down.

954
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:30,000
Mind you, the penalty has already been declined by the Dallas Cowboys.

955
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:35,000
Yeah, it's just a decision now as to whether the Rams are going to kick the ball or whether they decide to try to go for it on fourth.

956
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:40,000
And it's about a yard, right on the nose, about a yard.

957
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:44,000
That's what it is, is a rather long yard when you look at it. It's one yard.

958
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:49,000
And now they're going to punt. It was a little too long to take a chance. What do you think of that strategy?

959
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:54,000
Oh, I think it's the only thing you could do. I don't think there's any way in the world you could deliver the ball to the Cowboys at midfield.

960
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:58,000
You've got to kick the ball and make them go the long way and earn what they get instead of giving it to them.

961
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:05,000
The interception by Cromwell stopped the Dallas Drive, and then the Rams were unable to do much.

962
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,000
They got one first down, but they couldn't get another.

963
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:14,000
And the kicker is Corral, and Jones has been murder all day for the Cowboys. Back into his 11-yard line.

964
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:20,000
A good snap from center, no pressure, and a rather low kick. And Jones took it on to 17 running right.

965
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:25,000
He spins to the 19-yard line, and down he goes. Harris, the linebacker downfield with a hit.

966
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:31,000
And we have 239 remaining in the half. A 36-yard punt, only a 2-yard return.

967
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:43,000
The Dallas Cowboys, tied with the Rams, 13-all, are at their own 20 with 239 remaining in the half.

968
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:53,000
Brent Musburger comes along at half-time. His guests will be Jim Finks and J.J. John Jefferson of the San Diego Chargers.

969
01:19:53,000 --> 01:20:03,000
Cowboys come out. Reggie Doss plays the defensive end spot. Armand Brooks, Fanning is in there, and Youngblood up front.

970
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:08,000
For Los Angeles, motion by Drew Pearson, and a toss to Ron Spring.

971
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:17,000
Ron's right, cuts back, 25 goes outside, 30 first down, and tackled near the Dallas 35 for a thick first down with 230 left.

972
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:23,000
The next set-up that the motion are using is confusing. The Rams are a little bit on defense.

973
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:29,000
That time, Irvin, that time had to play the strong position, the strong safety position.

974
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:40,000
And Nolan Cromwell played on number 88. Drew Pearson, which was a mismatch, there's no force in this back side, and that's why they were able to make the yard as they made.

975
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:48,000
As I saw Leroy Irvin chasing the motion, and the next moment you saw him bumping Springs out of bounds on the opposite side of the field at the 34.

976
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,000
That's exactly right. They're putting pressure on him from a run standpoint, support standpoint, Jack.

977
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:57,000
Two minutes left and a half, first down Dallas at their own 34. That was a 14-yard pick-up by Springs.

978
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:02,000
A timeout on the field with the score tied, the Rams 13, the Cowboys 13.

979
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Hello Rusty Jones. Hey, how are you? Goodbye Rusty cars. Hi, I'm Rusty Jones.

980
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Who? What? Rusty Jones rust proofing. You know, I can save your car from rust.

981
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:22,000
You can? Sure, because I'm more than just rust proofing. I'm the one option you can buy for your car that actually appreciates value.

982
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:27,000
How's that? I'll stick with your new car, protecting it from rust for as long as you own it.

983
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:32,000
And everybody knows a rust-free car is worth more trade inside. You really stick with my car?

984
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:38,000
Day and night, winter and summer. No vacation? Not even a coffee break. No gimmick?

985
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Nope, I just want your car to stay rust free so you can say, Hello Rusty Jones. Goodbye Rusty cars.

986
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Hello Rusty Jones. Goodbye, goodbye, Rusty cars.

987
01:21:54,000 --> 01:22:01,000
Look for new car dealers that offer Rusty Jones Car Saver System. It's a sure sign they care.

988
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:07,000
Thanks, Tram. Do you think we're watching a Super Bowl team in either one of these squads today?

989
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:12,000
Yes, I think so, Jack. I think either one of these two teams could do extremely well.

990
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:20,000
They've got outstanding records, good football teams, good balance, good defense, good offense, excellent kicking. They're both very capable.

991
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:28,000
Down their own 34, a first down for the Cowboys, two minutes left in the half. Springs and Dorsett in the backfield, that combination has been going well.

992
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:35,000
And on first down, the gibbons to Springs, pops it up the middle, comes to the 40. Good moves, he's out to the 44 yard line.

993
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:41,000
And he picked up nine and he picked up ten and he got a first down to the 45.

994
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:47,000
That was a counterplay, a misdirection play with the idea of trying to tell them on the idea that Dorsett was going to go to the right.

995
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:53,000
And they get it back to Springs, coming back to the back side, the middle line back to pursuit, and that's exactly what you want on the play.

996
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Now White's first down pass steps up and drills it. It's caught inside the 40 for a first down, the tackle made by Leroy Irvin.

997
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:06,000
They're picking on that rookie cornerback, Hank, and another first down as they mark the ball down at the Los Angeles 37.

998
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:13,000
I'd be relentless in my approach as far as throwing a ball on 47. You can do that anytime you want to if you get them in single coverage.

999
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:18,000
And I don't think Dallas has done nearly as much as they should have so far in this game.

1000
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:25,000
Now a timeout stops the clock with 1.28 remaining in the half charged against the Dallas Cowboys.

1001
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:34,000
They used one earlier, they have one remaining. And we have 1.28 remaining in the half with the score tied at 13-0.

1002
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:39,000
How did they get that single coverage with Pearson in front of Leroy Irvin?

1003
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:44,000
They're just playing single coverage is all, Jack, and I think somewhere along the line they're going to have to mix it up a little bit more

1004
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:51,000
and try to help Irvin by zoning to that side to give him a little relief because I don't think he can cover one on one.

1005
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:56,000
And I think the Cowboys are beginning to find that out and they're starting to take advantage of it.

1006
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:00,000
Leroy Irvin is on the corner filling in for Pat Thomas. He's out with a bad ankle.

1007
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:05,000
Irvin is a rookie out of Kansas, 5'11", 180. Trying to cover Drew Pearson.

1008
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:12,000
He's a 6'1", 183 and a shrewd veteran. Danny White is 7 out of 14, one intercept at 79 yards.

1009
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:19,000
Ferragamo is 7 out of 13 for 118 yards and one touchdown. We've only had one turnover in this game.

1010
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:23,000
That was a Ram interception by Cromwell, his ninth of the year.

1011
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:27,000
1.28 remaining in the half. Good game, Henry.

1012
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:32,000
Excellent game. Much, much better than the one we had a couple of weeks ago in Orange County.

1013
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,000
35 to nothing at one time in favor of the Rams, but not today.

1014
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,000
First down at the Los Angeles 37.

1015
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,000
I would go after Irvin right now. Look at him, he's on the line of scrimmage, bump and run.

1016
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:45,000
I throw the ball right on top and try to get a big play on him right away.

1017
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:51,000
Out of the shotgun, Danny White back to throw. He looks and he throws it long down the middle and it is incomplete.

1018
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:55,000
He tried to throw it on the outside and allow Bush Johnson to run under it.

1019
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Nolan Cromwell stayed right with him.

1020
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:03,000
Second and ten. Let's pause five seconds for stations to identify themselves on the CBS radio network.

1021
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:07,000
WBBM Chicago News and Sports Radio 78.

1022
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Second down and ten Dallas from the Los Angeles 37.

1023
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:19,000
Score tied 13 all. The Rams have never been behind in this game.

1024
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:24,000
They've had two touchdowns, but one of the extra points was blocked.

1025
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:29,000
And that extra point that was blocked may turn out to be a big part of this final score.

1026
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Second and ten.

1027
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:36,000
Out of the shotgun with Preston Pearson in the lineup.

1028
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,000
White's going to put it up again.

1029
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,000
Sets up and looks, throws it and it's caught by Pearson.

1030
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Inside the 35, they give him forward progress down to the 26 and that'll be a first down.

1031
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,000
A first down for the Dallas Cowboys.

1032
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:57,000
105 left in the half and Danny White has ample time.

1033
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,000
It is a first down at the 26 yard line of the Rams.

1034
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,000
White back to throw. No pressure.

1035
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:07,000
Sets up, steps up, throws it into the end zone and it is incomplete and out of the end zone.

1036
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:11,000
Intended for Drew Pearson who caught that last ball. Jeff Delaney was covering that time.

1037
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:15,000
Deep in the end zone is a problem too Jack. That's where the sun is peeking through.

1038
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,000
You look back into the sun and you have a hard time making a catch.

1039
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:22,000
The only place that's really a problem at this stage of the game, the end zone of the going in,

1040
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,000
the way the Cowboys are trying to make a score right now.

1041
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,000
A couple of passes to Preston Pearson to set it up.

1042
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,000
One to the 37, a pass to the 26.

1043
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Second and ten now with 51 seconds remaining in the half. That's a lot of time.

1044
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,000
It sure is especially when you're on the 26 yard line going in.

1045
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,000
And the Cowboys have one time out remaining.

1046
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,000
White's come in from the bench for Tom Landry.

1047
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:50,000
Pearson goes to the right. Tony Hill is to the left.

1048
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:53,000
Book Johnson is the third wide receiver.

1049
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Preston Pearson is in the lineup and it's second and ten from the 26 of L.A.

1050
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:01,000
Pearson sets up on a wing, double wing now.

1051
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,000
One on one over there on the left side.

1052
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Here's White back to the middle.

1053
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,000
Stepped up in the pocket and throws and it is intercepted by the Rams.

1054
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,000
They have the ball out of their 26 yard line.

1055
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:18,000
Walks right into that ball, the second interception by the Rams with 41 seconds remaining in the half.

1056
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:22,000
They did a good job on the left side. Drew Pearson was knocked off his feet on the play.

1057
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,000
Couldn't get downfield.

1058
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Danny White tried to locate a secondary receiver and Lucia Smith really did a super job of anticipating the thrown ball comes up with the interception.

1059
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:36,000
And that was his first of the year for the rookie out of Cal State in Fullerton, California.

1060
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:43,000
The second against Danny White and the 27th of the year intercepted against the Dallas quarterback.

1061
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:49,000
So a big play by Lucia Smith and the Rams have 41 seconds left in the half.

1062
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,000
They have three time outs left.

1063
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,000
They got a chance to get something in the middle.

1064
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,000
He's back to throw. Farragano.

1065
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,000
He's got a short caught by Guman at the 30 yard line.

1066
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:02,000
He's brought down right there in a pick up of four yards.

1067
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:03,000
Why was the middle opening?

1068
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,000
Well, they were very concerned about the outside receivers.

1069
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:12,000
The safety man Waters was way back deep naturally because he's trying to prevent the opportunity for them to make a big play.

1070
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,000
So they got to give you something in the middle.

1071
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,000
Second down and six from their own 30 for the Rams.

1072
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:20,000
We have 32 seconds left in the half. Scores tied 13 off.

1073
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:24,000
And let's pause for this.

1074
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,000
Weekends were made for sports.

1075
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:31,000
That's why we have two new editions of Sports Time beginning January 10th and 11th.

1076
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,000
I'm Bill Schweitzer.

1077
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:36,000
Saturday and Sunday morning I'll be here covering all the previous night's action.

1078
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Previewing the upcoming events featuring interviews with the top players and coaches in the major sports.

1079
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,000
And all the excitement from the sports world on Sports Time.

1080
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:48,000
It's Saturday and Sunday morning beginning January 10th and 11th on most of the CBS radio network stations.

1081
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Hear them here.

1082
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:03,000
Shortly after the game was tied on the touchdown run by Dorsett and the extra point by Septien.

1083
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,000
The Cowboys were on the move but Cromwell intercepted it.

1084
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,000
The Los Angeles 39 with 340 left in the half.

1085
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,000
I'll be darned if the Cowboys didn't get another drive going.

1086
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,000
And then here moments ago with 41 seconds left in the half.

1087
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:18,000
And now we have 32 remaining.

1088
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,000
An interception by Lucia Smith, his first of the year at the Los Angeles 26.

1089
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:28,000
So the Cowboys who were in close enough were a possible field goal to give them a halftime lead.

1090
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:33,000
We'll try to nullify the ram attack here in the final 32 seconds of the half.

1091
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,000
We're tied 13 off.

1092
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,000
And Ferragamo has Dinnard and Waddy to the right.

1093
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,000
Waddy goes in motion.

1094
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,000
Ferragamo's back to throw.

1095
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:42,000
He's run by Martin.

1096
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:43,000
He throws.

1097
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:44,000
It's caught by Cullen Bryant.

1098
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:46,000
Bryant did not get a first down.

1099
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:47,000
He's out to the 34.

1100
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:50,000
Charlie Waters threw him to the turf.

1101
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:53,000
And we have 22 seconds left in the half.

1102
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:57,000
And the Rams use another timeout and they have one remaining.

1103
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Ferragamo can read that putz pretty well and get rid of the ball in a hurry.

1104
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,000
You know, he's got a very quick release, good vision.

1105
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,000
And really I think he's done a remarkable job.

1106
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:06,000
He's only played for two years.

1107
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,000
This is the second year of his pro career whereby he's played that much.

1108
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:13,000
And I think he's picked up everything extremely well.

1109
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:19,000
And he has a good receiving running back in Cullen Bryant.

1110
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:20,000
He's got a good running catch to the ball.

1111
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,000
He caught 53 prior to today.

1112
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:28,000
Yes, and they have a good, I think, communication between the quarterback and the receivers.

1113
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,000
They run good, precise routes.

1114
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:36,000
Lionel Taylor, who was a great receiver back in the days of the American Football League,

1115
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,000
I think has done a super job with these young receivers.

1116
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,000
And it shows that he's done a good job of teaching.

1117
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:45,000
Again this year, folks, CBS Radio Sports brings you the senior ball.

1118
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,000
The date is January 17.

1119
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,000
The American Football League players show their skills.

1120
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,000
The senior ball, Jim Kelly and Bill Walkerson describe the action.

1121
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Here it's here.

1122
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,000
We have a 13-13 tie.

1123
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:59,000
Dorsett has carried 11 times, 73 yards.

1124
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Probably won't get it again during this half.

1125
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:08,000
You never know, 22 seconds remaining in the half.

1126
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Rams have never been behind in this game.

1127
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:15,000
And an extra point blocked after their first touchdown.

1128
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:18,000
Third down and two.

1129
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,000
Barragamo.

1130
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:24,000
As Drew Hillen is the wide receiver, they stay on the ground and get a first down.

1131
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Cullen Bryant comes out to the 41-yard line, and the Rams use their final timeout with 17 seconds remaining in the half.

1132
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,000
They have a first down at their own 41.

1133
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,000
Bryant seems to be running rather well.

1134
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,000
I think he lost 10 pounds this week.

1135
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,000
He was struck with a flu.

1136
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:43,000
Well, I mentioned earlier that sometimes when you're off a whole week at this stage of the season,

1137
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,000
you get your legs back, you're very fresh.

1138
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:50,000
And even though you might have been sick, it all depends on how much weight you lost.

1139
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,000
But he looks good and fresh and has done a good job here this afternoon.

1140
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,000
He's in there with Mike Newman at the moment.

1141
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,000
They really have a dearth of running backs on this Rams club.

1142
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:00,000
We haven't seen much of the rookie Gerald Thomas.

1143
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:06,000
He's been piling up big yards, running for an average gain of 6.6 per carry.

1144
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:12,000
But it's tough to do against the Cowboys, and it's been more of an aerial game for Los Angeles.

1145
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:18,000
So Gerald Thomas, J-E-W-E-R-L, hasn't had a chance to strut his stuff.

1146
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:23,000
Now the Rams are out of timeouts and almost out of time here in the second quarter.

1147
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,000
17 seconds remaining in the half.

1148
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,000
First down at their own 40.

1149
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,000
We'll see some aerials now, one, two, or three of them.

1150
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,000
Yes, we surely will.

1151
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:38,000
Out they come with Waddy and Dinar to the right side.

1152
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:41,000
Drew Hill, the other wide receiver.

1153
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Now the Cowboys play.

1154
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,000
Blitz is on.

1155
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:46,000
A delayed blitz.

1156
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,000
Farragamo throws long down the middle.

1157
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Waddy can't get to it.

1158
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:51,000
Waddy can't get to it.

1159
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:58,000
They had a crossing pattern with Waddy and Dinar coming up to cover Steve Wilson and Dennis Thurman.

1160
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:00,000
Waddy didn't look like he knew where the ball was.

1161
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:08,000
It looked like he lost it some way and looked like he was confused on where the ball was thrown.

1162
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:15,000
Now we have 11 seconds remaining in the half and it is second down and 10.

1163
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:20,000
So time for another bomb or two for the Rams.

1164
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,000
The loser of this game is eliminated from the playoffs.

1165
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,000
If Dallas wins, they play at Atlanta.

1166
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:26,000
If the Rams win, they play at Philadelphia.

1167
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,000
I like the Rams approach.

1168
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:30,000
They're on the attack trying to make something happen.

1169
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Now a timeout is called by Charlie Waters and the Dallas Cowboys.

1170
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:38,000
They want to make certain about their coverage with 11 seconds remaining in the half.

1171
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:42,000
They don't want to be burned on some missed assignments.

1172
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,000
Now the Cowboys are out of timeouts.

1173
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:46,000
Neither club has one left.

1174
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:52,000
The Cowboys have six defensive backs in the game.

1175
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,000
Including Dexter Clinkdale.

1176
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:57,000
They've lost Randy Hughes today with an injury.

1177
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:07,000
Thurman, Waters, Barnes, Clinkdale, Wilson and Mitchell.

1178
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:14,000
All during the week and over the weekend, CBS Radio's top sportscasts do bring you timely and lively information on what's happening.

1179
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:20,000
Wynn Elliott, Jim Kelly, Brent Musburger, Ron Webber, Bill Schweizer, Howard David and Dick Stockton.

1180
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,000
CBS Radio Sports.

1181
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,000
Hear it here.

1182
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:29,000
James Tram and I will be right back down here on New Year's Day for the Baylor Alabama Cottonball game.

1183
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,000
And that should be one great football game.

1184
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:32,000
I talked to Cotton Davidson.

1185
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:35,000
He used to play for us and he's one of the coaches on the Baylor staff.

1186
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:36,000
Talked to him yesterday.

1187
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,000
He's very, very excited about this game against Alabama.

1188
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:42,000
They think they're very sold on their football team.

1189
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:45,000
They haven't gotten the recognition that they deserve.

1190
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,000
I think they're kind of the Roger Dangerfield of college football.

1191
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,000
But they're out to prove something this weekend.

1192
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:54,000
For a gamma back to throw and it's intercepted by Steve Wilson at the 45.

1193
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:58,000
He tackled it midfield and we have two seconds left and a half.

1194
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,000
Dallas gets the ball at midfield with two seconds left.

1195
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,000
That's the first ram turnover.

1196
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:06,000
Steve Wilson gets his fifth of the year.

1197
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:16,000
That extra defensive back really helped because there was deep coverage and he was able to just step right up and pick it off.

1198
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:19,000
He is brought down at midfield.

1199
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:23,000
With only two seconds remaining in the half, score tied 13-0.

1200
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:25,000
No more timeouts remaining.

1201
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:30,000
Breezer Club, final two minutes of this first half has taken a long time to play.

1202
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:34,000
Brent Musburger comes along here at halftime on CBS radio.

1203
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:42,000
And in addition, the Lincoln High School band from Bloomington, Minnesota is down here in Big D to entertain the fans.

1204
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:47,000
They've got a big bend formation which means they have three wide receivers on the right side, one on the left.

1205
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,000
Back in the backfield, back there with the quarterback.

1206
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:51,000
I'm going to try to throw something deep.

1207
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:58,000
Three men rush by the Rams and a flag goes down and White airs it out down inside the 10 in the heavy coverage.

1208
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:02,000
And it is intercepted by the Rams at the two-yard line.

1209
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:03,000
The play still goes.

1210
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:06,000
Here's Cromwell off to the 20-yard line, to the 25.

1211
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:07,000
Time has expired.

1212
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:09,000
Cromwell is out of bounds at the 30-yard line.

1213
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:15,000
And now we'll check the flag and see if indeed the half is over.

1214
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:19,000
No more time left on the clock.

1215
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,000
We'll see who the penalty is against.

1216
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:24,000
If it's against the defense, we'll have another play.

1217
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:27,000
If it's against the offense, there will be no more play.

1218
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,000
Yeah, I think it's against the offense, Jack.

1219
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,000
Offside, Dallas.

1220
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Time has expired and the half is over.

1221
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:41,000
And that pass was intercepted and it's the third of the game charged against Danny White.

1222
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:45,000
There's the gun sounding the end of the first half with a score.

1223
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:47,000
The Cowboys 13 and the Rams 13.

1224
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,000
It's high and deep and Hill's going to return it from the four.

1225
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:53,000
He runs left to the five, to the 10, to the 15.

1226
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:54,000
He said he gets to the 20.

1227
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:55,000
He's out to the 25.

1228
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:56,000
No flag.

1229
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:00,000
And the Rams will go from their own 25-yard line, tied 13-all.

1230
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,000
Steve Wilson downfield to make the Dallas tackle.

1231
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:06,000
15-25 to our line.

1232
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:09,000
Larry Bethea that time had a good shot, number 76, to make an attack.

1233
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:13,000
He got down there in good shape, but he got all the way down the field and missed the tackle,

1234
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:17,000
the tackle that he should have made.

1235
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,000
So Ferragamo and company go to work.

1236
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:26,000
Ferragamo had one intercepted in the first half and he was 9 out of 17 for 128 yards and one touchdown.

1237
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:32,000
And Cullen Bryant, the up back, the full back, and Gerald Thomas, the tailback.

1238
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,000
And here is a give to Gerald Thomas and he is tackled after gaining two yards on a slam.

1239
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:42,000
The middle linebackers, Bob Bruening along with Randy White were there to make the hit.

1240
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:45,000
That was a good time, Jack, to throw the ball, go back into the pocket, throw the ball.

1241
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Charlie Waters that time, number 41, was up like a linebacker that time.

1242
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:50,000
They were playing with three deep.

1243
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:52,000
They had no help whatsoever in the middle.

1244
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,000
And he had a good chance to make a big play in the pass situation.

1245
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,000
You said all season, Hank, that in order to beat him, you have to throw him first down.

1246
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,000
Yeah, you're not going to beat this team.

1247
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,000
You're not going to beat this team running the football at him.

1248
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:04,000
You've got to throw the ball and that's the way you win.

1249
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,000
Billy Waddy goes on the wing and comes in motion.

1250
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:07,000
And it's second down and eight.

1251
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:09,000
Now Ferragamo gives to Bryant.

1252
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:10,000
He'll have a goal nowhere.

1253
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,000
Harvey Martin, a loss on the play.

1254
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:15,000
Back inside the 25-yard line.

1255
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:17,000
And he lost four yards.

1256
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:24,000
It's tough, it's very tough to run outside on Dallas and especially it's very difficult to run with Cullen Blount.

1257
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:27,000
Cullen Blount is a better straight-ahead runner than he is a sideway runner.

1258
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:30,000
And for that reason, there was no chance of the play.

1259
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:33,000
And the thing that you have to be concerned about is when you run those kind of plays,

1260
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:39,000
where you don't have a chance, you really give the Dallas Cowboys a lot of enthusiasm on defense.

1261
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:41,000
He lost three yards as it turned out.

1262
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Back to the 24 and it's third and 11 for the Rams.

1263
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:47,000
They have Waddy and Menard to the right.

1264
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:49,000
The middle is open.

1265
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Miller is the other wide receiver.

1266
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:51,000
Dallas going to blitz.

1267
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,000
Here's a quick pass underneath.

1268
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:54,000
Outside to Billy Waddy.

1269
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:59,000
Incomplete and he had to knock it away from Steve Wilkin who had very good coverage on him.

1270
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,000
Incomplete and plenty of time for the Rams.

1271
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:03,000
You're right. He was playing pretty tight that time.

1272
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:05,000
They tried to throw the ball on top.

1273
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:09,000
Wilson did a very good job of covering Waddy on the play.

1274
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:12,000
And now they're in a kicking situation.

1275
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:15,000
Oh, you can really feel it swinging over to the Dallas Cowboys.

1276
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:18,000
It hasn't been for those interceptions that came on top right now,

1277
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:22,000
but they're going to get the ball in great shape as James Jones hands it at 35

1278
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:27,000
waiting for the Frank Corral punt.

1279
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:29,000
This will be the fifth punt for Corral.

1280
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:33,000
He gets a good snap and a pretty good kick.

1281
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:36,000
It goes off to the left sideline and bounces inside the 40-35,

1282
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:38,000
taking on the 33 by Jones,

1283
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:43,000
and he has tackled across the 35 out near his own 37-yard line.

1284
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:44,000
Cowboys get it.

1285
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:46,000
13-14 left in the third quarter.

1286
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,000
43-yard punt, 4-yard return.

1287
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:53,000
This time Corral kicked it away from Jones and has been burning the Rams this afternoon.

1288
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:55,000
With the score tied, 13-all.

1289
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:57,000
Let's take time out.

1290
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:59,000
We'll have a listen.

1291
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:29,000
The coach who does it quite the way.

1292
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:35,000
What you do is right for you.

1293
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:40,000
For all you do, the king of kings is coming through.

1294
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:50,000
For all that you do and do,

1295
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:54,000
it's right for you.

1296
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,000
Anheuser-Busch, Bangalore.

1297
01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:01,000
The first half, the Cowboys had the ball for 18, almost 19 minutes.

1298
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,000
The Rams had it for 11-09.

1299
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:07,000
And here the Rams kept it for less than two minutes before punting it away.

1300
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:11,000
And Henry, you can feel the momentum really swinging over to the Cowboys who are at their own 37.

1301
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:14,000
Yeah, it's changing a little bit, but it's a long way from being over, Jack.

1302
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:17,000
And I think if the Rams can stop him here,

1303
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,000
Gallagher should come out on the attack here.

1304
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:20,000
They should throw the ball.

1305
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:22,000
They should go after number 47.

1306
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:23,000
I would.

1307
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:26,000
And try to make something happen fast.

1308
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:30,000
New house and door set in the backfield and motion by Drew Gerson.

1309
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:34,000
And then contact was made by Jones as he reached out and touched the center.

1310
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,000
Now, whether he was drawn offside or not, I do not know.

1311
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:41,000
It is against the Rams and that'll make it first and five.

1312
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:46,000
Youngblood, Jones, Brooks, and Dreier playing up front for the Rams.

1313
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Incroachment, number 76, defense.

1314
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:59,000
Call against Cody Jones, encroachment, moves the ball out to the Dallas 47.

1315
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:03,000
All of the plays come in from the sideline for Danny White.

1316
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Robert Shaw at center.

1317
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,000
Otherwise, the offensive line is intact for the Cowboys.

1318
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:13,000
First and five, Newhouse popping it up the middle and Dreier nails him,

1319
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:19,000
but he came across the 45-yard line out to the 46 and he got three or four.

1320
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:22,000
It'll be second down and short.

1321
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:23,000
Newhouse to the 46.

1322
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:28,000
And it'll be second down and a yard and a half.

1323
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:34,000
We'll call it second down and two.

1324
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Now it's looked a lot better when Springs was in there, didn't it, rather than Newhouse?

1325
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:38,000
Yes, that's right.

1326
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,000
He's got a lot more speed, a lot more quickness,

1327
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:44,000
and gives them an added dimension at that fullback position.

1328
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:48,000
Splitbacks, Newhouse and Dorstet from the Dallas 46.

1329
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:51,000
Second down and two. Motion by Pearson again.

1330
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:55,000
Danny White, the door is set on a slant right, and he is out to the 48,

1331
01:42:55,000 --> 01:43:00,000
has the first down for the Cowboys, and into Jack Reynolds and Johnny Johnson.

1332
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:03,000
What a first down for Dallas.

1333
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:04,000
He popped in there pretty good.

1334
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:05,000
Yes, he did.

1335
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:08,000
And Drew Pearson that time was lined up on the right side, came in motion to the left,

1336
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:13,000
and the young defensive back Leroy Urban over there is a little confused seemingly,

1337
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:17,000
and you'd think they would be able to do some good running and passing from that formation.

1338
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,000
Dorstet is down on the field.

1339
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,000
He really popped in there with a very strong tackle by both Reynolds and Johnny Johnson,

1340
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:26,000
and Dorstet is not up at this moment.

1341
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:30,000
12-17 up in the third quarter. Score tied 13-0.

1342
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,000
And they take time to tend to Donnie Dorstet.

1343
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,000
Looks like he's going to be down for a while.

1344
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:39,000
He's taking time out on the field with his score tied 13-13.

1345
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:43,000
Donnie Dorstet along the sideline now, standing, trying to pull himself back together,

1346
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:47,000
just picked up the first down to the Dallas 49.

1347
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:55,000
12-17 left in the third quarter, and the score tied 13-13.

1348
01:43:55,000 --> 01:44:01,000
Now Jones will run from Scrimmage along with John.

1349
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:05,000
And Mississippi State.

1350
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:08,000
On first down, Danny White.

1351
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:11,000
Stands Pearson in motion again.

1352
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,000
And tosses to Newhouse running left, cuts back, he's hit at midfield,

1353
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,000
and that's where he goes down.

1354
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:18,000
He picked up two yards.

1355
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:24,000
Jack Reynolds brought him down with a help of Fred Dreier.

1356
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:29,000
Neither club are really playing wide open football, are they?

1357
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:35,000
No, they're really not. They're really not on the attack like you think they would be, Jack.

1358
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:43,000
Dorstet comes back in now, and Jones goes out at second and eighth.

1359
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:48,000
And we had a flag down on the field, a late flag that I honestly didn't see,

1360
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,000
and yardage marked off back to the Dallas 44.

1361
01:44:52,000 --> 01:45:03,000
A motion call against the Cowboys, making it first and 15.

1362
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:08,000
First and 15 at the Dallas 44.

1363
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:14,000
They line up in the eye. Pearson to the left, Tony Hillers to the right.

1364
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:19,000
The tight end is on the left side.

1365
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:22,000
And White gives the ball to Dorstet on a slant right.

1366
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:26,000
He talks across the 50, down to the 45 for big yards.

1367
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:30,000
It was first and 15, and it's now second down and four.

1368
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,000
Joe Harris, the tackler.

1369
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,000
He really whistled through there like the wind that night, didn't he?

1370
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:37,000
Got a good takeoff, good surge from the offensive line,

1371
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:41,000
saw the hole and took advantage of it, picked up 11 yards in the play.

1372
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,000
A beautiful run by Dorstet.

1373
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:47,000
To the Los Angeles 45 yard line.

1374
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,000
11-20 remaining in the period.

1375
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:55,000
Second down and four Dallas.

1376
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Newhouse to Dorstet in the eye formation.

1377
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,000
Here's a give to Newhouse, the up back.

1378
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:03,000
He gets the first down to the 40 yard line.

1379
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,000
And Cromwell with a big tackle.

1380
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:07,000
The pace you know, right up in there.

1381
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:12,000
And Dorstet, Newhouse is upset that he didn't avoid that tackle because he'd gone for big yards.

1382
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:15,000
Yeah, Cromwell really, it's amazing to watch him play.

1383
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:18,000
He is really a super, super player.

1384
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:21,000
Nolan Cromwell, number 21, the free safety of the Los Angeles Rams.

1385
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:25,000
He's a great speed, excellent athlete, plays in the quarterback position at the University of Kansas,

1386
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:28,000
but he is a super, super athlete.

1387
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:33,000
That's 15 first downs for the Cowboys now, as opposed to 9 for the Rams.

1388
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:36,000
And a first down at the Los Angeles 40.

1389
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:37,000
They had to throw the ball here in first and 10.

1390
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:42,000
They got a good field position and they're doing a good job of making those linebackers stay in tight.

1391
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:43,000
Here it is.

1392
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:46,000
He's got it up, steps up, throws one downfield.

1393
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Saldy has it and he's out of bounds at the 3.

1394
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:52,000
J. Saldy out of bounds at the 3.

1395
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Over Nolan Cromwell, about who they were just talking, who was over there helping out.

1396
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:00,000
First and goal, Dallas.

1397
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:03,000
From the 40 to the 3 yard line.

1398
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:05,000
Play action pass right on the number.

1399
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,000
It was a good call, excellent call, but they have been running well.

1400
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:10,000
They got everybody concerned a little bit about the run.

1401
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:12,000
Take the run, threw it on top.

1402
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:13,000
Good play.

1403
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,000
J. Saldy making a reception, number 87.

1404
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,000
And now the ball's on about the 3 and a half yard line.

1405
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:21,000
Saldy could hardly wait for that ball to come down in his arms.

1406
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:25,000
He could only run out of bounds after catching it, but was the angle.

1407
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:29,000
Meanwhile, pressure by Jack Youngblood and Jim Youngblood on the quarterback.

1408
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:32,000
White, but he got it away and it's first and goal for Dallas.

1409
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:33,000
Trying to lead for the first time.

1410
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:35,000
This would be another good time for a play action pass.

1411
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:37,000
They think you're going to claim it in there.

1412
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:41,000
If you're going to throw one, the good time to throw it is on first and 10 from play action.

1413
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,000
Nice, Saldy to give to Newhouse.

1414
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:44,000
Tackle at the 2 yard line.

1415
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:48,000
He's about a yard and a half away as he's stopped by Reggie Dodd.

1416
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:51,000
They're going to try to punch it out, hey?

1417
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:53,000
Yeah, evidently so, but if you're going to throw a play action,

1418
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:58,000
the time to throw it already is on first and goal because they're in there tough,

1419
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:01,000
coming across the line of scrimmage, digging in to stop the run,

1420
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:04,000
and sometimes the play action pass opens up nicely.

1421
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:08,000
The Cowboys got this ball back at the 37 yard line.

1422
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:12,000
They have overcome a couple of penalties and they're down to the 2.

1423
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:15,000
Second and goal.

1424
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,000
White doesn't do much running or rolling out.

1425
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:21,000
He has Dorcent and Springs in there now.

1426
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Springs can find the end zone.

1427
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:25,000
It's second and goal.

1428
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:31,000
Moved to by Saldy, a fumble and White falls on it and just was able to get it back.

1429
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:35,000
And it'll be third and goal on the fumble.

1430
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:40,000
It's a bad kind of waste of play.

1431
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:46,000
White fumbled the ball and could only fall on it after five.

1432
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Third and goal.

1433
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:53,000
Nine-40 remaining.

1434
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:56,000
In the third quarter with a score tied 13-all.

1435
01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:59,000
Certainly Dallas has been closing up for at least three points,

1436
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:00,000
but they won seven.

1437
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:05,000
They have first and goal at the three. It's third and goal from the five.

1438
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,000
Saldy is the tight end.

1439
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:10,000
Hill and Pearson are the wide receivers.

1440
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:14,000
White likely to throw and now they didn't beat the 32nd clock.

1441
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:16,000
And it'll be third and goal from the 10th.

1442
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:19,000
And they didn't have enough people on the line of scrimmage either, I don't think, that time, Jack.

1443
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:21,000
They only had six instead of seven.

1444
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:25,000
It's all the lineup in the backfield instead of on the line of scrimmage.

1445
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:27,000
Five-yard penalty for delay of game.

1446
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:30,000
Van Haggerty, the referee, marks it back out at the 10th.

1447
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:33,000
Third and goal from there.

1448
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:38,000
You're in game offense. Third down.

1449
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:41,000
And now the Rams put in Jeff Delaney at the back.

1450
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:46,000
Joe Harris, the linebacker. Lucha Smith, another back.

1451
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,000
Actually, if you're going to throw the ball on this situation, third down,

1452
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:52,000
you're better off on the 10-yard line than you are on the five

1453
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:56,000
because you've got more room to operate and more patterns to open up.

1454
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,000
And they're better off here now for that reason,

1455
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:01,000
for they're obviously going to throw the ball on third and 10.

1456
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:03,000
Six penalties for the Cowboys.

1457
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,000
It's third and goal from the 10-yard line.

1458
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:08,000
They go into the shotgun. Preston Pearson is in the lineup.

1459
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:11,000
They go into the double wing.

1460
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:13,000
And on third down, Hill goes in motion.

1461
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:16,000
White's back to throw. Pressure, pressure, pressure.

1462
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,000
He throws it. It's caught inside the 10.

1463
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,000
First set, touchdown!

1464
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,000
He hurled it over the tackler and went in.

1465
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:26,000
Tony Dorsett saw that goal line and he's alive.

1466
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Dorsett was lined up on the wing that time.

1467
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,000
He came across the middle. He was open.

1468
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,000
And he made a gallon effort to get into the end zone for the touchdown.

1469
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:35,000
A good shot.

1470
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:37,000
Rob Perry is stretched out on the goal line.

1471
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:38,000
He hit Dorsett.

1472
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:43,000
Dorsett went right at him and sailed over the top of Perry despite the hit.

1473
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,000
And got the touchdown pass.

1474
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:51,000
Good for 10 yards in Dallas League for the first time in the game, 19-13.

1475
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:56,000
Second touchdown of the day for Dorsett.

1476
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:00,000
Well, they overcame three penalties on that drive.

1477
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:05,000
And started back at their own 37.

1478
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:09,000
Now the Cowboys have a 19-13 lead.

1479
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:13,000
With 9-11 remaining in the game.

1480
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:18,000
Long pass to Saldy from the 40 down to the 3.

1481
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:21,000
Set it up.

1482
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:23,000
And Rob Perry is still hurt.

1483
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:27,000
Missing from the ram lineup today is Pat Thomas on the left corner.

1484
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:29,000
Here's another Pro Bowl cornerback.

1485
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:32,000
Rob Perry stretched out on the goal line.

1486
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:33,000
Boy, that Dorsett.

1487
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,000
You could see it earlier in the game, Hank, that he was possessed.

1488
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:38,000
He had his mind made up. He was going to have a good game.

1489
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:39,000
And he's a champion.

1490
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,000
Oh, he is. But again, he's fun to watch.

1491
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:47,000
And he doesn't run with the same abandon when he's in traffic in trouble as he does when he has any kind of running room.

1492
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:50,000
When he's running room at all, he really fights for those holes.

1493
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,000
There's a timeout on the field with a score.

1494
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:59,000
The Cowboys 19, the Los Angeles Rams 13.

1495
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:01,000
Dallas trying to hike their lead to seven points.

1496
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:02,000
Waters will hold.

1497
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:05,000
Septien drives the extra point.

1498
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:06,000
Cowboys set.

1499
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:08,000
The snap is made. It's low.

1500
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:09,000
Waters gets it down.

1501
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:11,000
Septien makes it good.

1502
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:13,000
Seven-point advantage for the Dallas Cowboys.

1503
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:17,000
A while ago, Rob Perry was helped off the field.

1504
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:19,000
He walked off with help.

1505
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,000
And he wouldn't get much in the trade-in for him right now.

1506
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:24,000
He is really shaken up.

1507
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:27,000
And this Cowboy crowd is on his feet.

1508
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:31,000
The Cowboys are in the lead.

1509
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:35,000
The Cowboys are in the lead.

1510
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:39,000
The Cowboys are in the lead.

1511
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:42,000
The Cowboys are in the lead.

1512
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,000
Well, things have changed around.

1513
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,000
And now the Rams will have to come to life.

1514
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,000
The last time they had the ball, they kept it less than two minutes.

1515
01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:50,000
They only get a first down and had to punch.

1516
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:52,000
That was at the outset of this second half.

1517
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,000
And they're under the gun now.

1518
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:56,000
We talked about a conservative approach earlier, Henry.

1519
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:58,000
It's not going to be any now on the part of Los Angeles.

1520
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,000
This might be good for them because it might get them out of that pattern.

1521
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:03,000
And they can go on the attack and make something happen.

1522
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,000
This particular series, it can be very important, Jack.

1523
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:09,000
The kickoff return, the field position can be vital.

1524
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:14,000
And they have to do a good job of moving the football on this drive or else they're going to be in trouble.

1525
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:18,000
Cowboys led by the score of six to nothing.

1526
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:21,000
And the Rams on top six-three.

1527
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:24,000
They missed the extra point.

1528
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:26,000
It's a six-six game.

1529
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,000
And Los Angeles went on top 13 to six.

1530
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:31,000
And it was tied at the half 13 all.

1531
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:36,000
And now Dallas leads 20 to 13 with 9-11 remaining in the third quarter.

1532
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:39,000
It is Drew Hill, a real threat back there.

1533
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:42,000
He returned 198 yards for a touchdown this year.

1534
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:44,000
He's averaged 20 yards for return.

1535
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:45,000
Septien kicks it.

1536
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:48,000
And Drew Hill will wait for it and return it.

1537
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:52,000
From the three, running left to the five, to the ten, to the 15.

1538
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:56,000
He throws down, gets to the 20, or on to the 25, to the 30-yard line.

1539
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:58,000
No flags, and the Rams are in good shape.

1540
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:04,000
As Hill steps out at the 30-yard line, Septien made the tackle after kicking the ball.

1541
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:06,000
They did a good job of bringing the ball back.

1542
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:07,000
They have good field position.

1543
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:12,000
Now they've got to make something happen, be on the attack, move the football, and get some points,

1544
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,000
or else they're going to be in trouble in this game.

1545
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:22,000
Farragamo completed 59% of his passes during the season and had 30 touchdown passes.

1546
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:25,000
And you say, Hank, you have to throw it against the Cowboys on first down.

1547
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:28,000
Especially on first down. You certainly do, Jack.

1548
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:31,000
Rallying by seven, the Rams come out.

1549
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:35,000
Rips it all over the ball.

1550
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:37,000
And motion by Bryant to pull back.

1551
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:40,000
Back to throw, Farragamo swings it out to Thomas.

1552
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:41,000
Thomas gets to the line.

1553
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:44,000
He didn't get to the line as soon as he lost the arc.

1554
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:49,000
Darrell Thomas hit by Aaron Mitchell, the cornerback.

1555
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:51,000
Another pass to Thomas, lost one.

1556
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:53,000
He was looking that way from the time he took the step.

1557
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:54,000
Yes he was.

1558
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:57,000
And Randy White, number 54, the defensive right tackle,

1559
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:01,000
really did a great job of reading the block of the offensive linemen,

1560
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:04,000
and he was right out there in the traffic on the play that was thrown to the outside.

1561
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:06,000
No chance whatsoever.

1562
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:09,000
If you've got to throw the ball upfield, upfield against this Dallas team,

1563
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:13,000
you've got to throw it sideways, you've got to throw it north and south, not east and west.

1564
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Second down and 11 from their own 29 for the Rams.

1565
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:18,000
They trail by seven.

1566
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:23,000
Farragamo waits for the snap, takes the snap, back to throw, to the left sideline,

1567
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:25,000
and it's complete and the flag is thrown.

1568
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:29,000
And an interference will be called against Aaron Mitchell, who bumped his man out of bounds.

1569
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:32,000
That was Preston Denard trying to go down the sideline.

1570
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:37,000
He tried to get the ball between the corner and the safety man that time.

1571
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:42,000
Aaron Mitchell was playing short, and the deep back, 32, was playing deep.

1572
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:45,000
Interference number 34, first down.

1573
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:48,000
But Mitchell interfered on the play, as you said, Jack, and first down for the Rams.

1574
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:49,000
It's a big break for them.

1575
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:52,000
The crowd booed slightly, but most everybody saw that,

1576
01:55:52,000 --> 01:56:00,000
and the ball is marked down at the Los Angeles 41-yard line and a first down.

1577
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:04,000
An interference call against Aaron Mitchell on the corner.

1578
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:08,000
We have eight, 13 remaining in the third quarter.

1579
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:12,000
First down Rams, Waddy to the right, Denard to the left.

1580
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:15,000
Tied in Nelson on the left side, and here's the running play,

1581
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:20,000
and Thomas, although he was tripped up, sails out to the 45-yard line.

1582
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:23,000
Dee Dee Lewis got one hand on his ankle,

1583
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:27,000
and Thomas picked up a snappy five-yard for Los Angeles.

1584
01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:35,000
Steve Wilson is now playing the right cornerback, left cornerback for Aaron Mitchell.

1585
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:39,000
Second down, Thomas got four, second and six.

1586
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:44,000
I should say for Benny Barnes, I'm sorry.

1587
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:48,000
So Wilson playing that left corner, covering Waddy at the moment.

1588
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:51,000
Ferragamo back to throw, looks, throws it, batted down, incomplete.

1589
01:56:51,000 --> 01:57:00,000
Big John Dutton, six-seven, got a hand on the ball, and it'll be third and six.

1590
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,000
Dutton, six-seven, 265.

1591
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:08,000
Long time with Baltimore, got his hand up, and Ferragamo, despite his height of six-three,

1592
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:11,000
was unable to get rid of the ball downfield.

1593
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:13,000
And he had a lot of time to throw the ball that time.

1594
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:15,000
Wasn't really a lot of pressure that time, Jack.

1595
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:21,000
The final perfect 33, playing in, far yard seven.

1596
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:26,000
64,533 here today.

1597
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:29,000
Most of them Dallas fans.

1598
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:31,000
Now they take the blitz, whether they're going to come or not,

1599
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:33,000
remains to be seen, I don't think they will.

1600
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:36,000
Third and six, Ferragamo back to throw, he's under pressure, he throws it,

1601
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,000
and it is caught for first down,

1602
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:42,000
coming right inside the 40 of Dallas, down to the 37.

1603
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:45,000
That was almost a late hit by Dennis Sermon.

1604
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:50,000
Gerald Thomas caught the ball, he's not reputed to be a great pass catcher or blocker,

1605
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:55,000
only a runner, but he did a good job that time, and got him down to the Dallas 37 yard line.

1606
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,000
Ferragamo, you have to give him a lot of credit again.

1607
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:02,000
That time he read what happened, got the ball to the open man, Joel Thomas,

1608
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:06,000
and they have another first down, a big play by Ferragamo.

1609
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,000
Again, forward progress to the 36 yard line.

1610
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:10,000
He had a pumping up right here again, Jack.

1611
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:12,000
Elson, the tight end on the right side.

1612
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:17,000
Thomas and Bryant in the backfield, and he's the first down pass by Ferragamo,

1613
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:20,000
short over the middle, caught at the 35, the tackle made immediately,

1614
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:23,000
and a gain of only a yard and a half or so.

1615
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:27,000
Ball caught by Cullen Bryant, wrapped up by Bob Brunig, the linebacker.

1616
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:32,000
One thing these Cowboys always have had,

1617
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:36,000
including the days when they had Hollywood Henderson and others,

1618
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:39,000
they have had linebackers who have been able to keep pace with those running backs,

1619
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:43,000
Edie Lewis has slowed down a little bit, but he makes up for a lot of that with experience.

1620
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:48,000
Yeah, he's very intelligent, very bright, and makes up for it, as you say, by knowledge,

1621
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:51,000
but he doesn't have the speed that he had before.

1622
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,000
Second down and eight, down to the Dallas 35.

1623
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,000
A lot of room on the outside left.

1624
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:57,000
And let's see what Ferragamo does.

1625
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:02,000
He delays the ball to Thomas, and one yard, that's all he got.

1626
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:09,000
Harley Martin was there, Thomas one yard, third and seven coming up.

1627
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:16,000
5.55 remaining in the third quarter, the Dallas Cowboys have the lead in this playoff game, 20 to 13.

1628
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:23,000
The ball is at the Cowboy 34.

1629
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:27,000
Third down and seven for the Rams.

1630
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:36,000
Waddy goes to the left with Sennard, on the wide race, to the right is Drew Hill.

1631
01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:42,000
And here's Ferragamo to throw, hash time, throws, and it is intercepted by Dallas.

1632
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:47,000
Dallas has the ball, running with the ball is Dennis Salmon after Mitchell intercepted.

1633
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:49,000
He's down to the Rams, 40.

1634
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:53,000
He's inside the 40 in Pacholet, a flag is down back upfield.

1635
01:59:53,000 --> 02:00:00,000
Forward lateral, Jack, no play, a forward pass, it was not a lateral, it was a forward pass, and the play will go back.

1636
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:05,000
Mitchell intercepted, but Dallas will still keep the ball.

1637
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:11,000
Mitchell intercepted, and then lateral it off to, it didn't lateral it, he tossed it off to Dennis Salmon, a forward pass, as Hank said.

1638
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:12,000
I didn't spot that, Henry.

1639
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:13,000
Yeah, they did.

1640
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:21,000
No question about the fact that it was a forward pass on the lateral attempt.

1641
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:25,000
And that time Ferragamo was a little slow getting the ball to the receiver.

1642
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:27,000
Boy, he had his man wide open, didn't he?

1643
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:35,000
He had him open for a long time, by the time he made a decision to throw the ball, it was too late, and intercepted that time by Aaron Mitchell.

1644
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:39,000
The illegal forward pass on the return, first down.

1645
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:43,000
Mitchell's interception stands, the ball is at the Dallas, 30.

1646
02:00:43,000 --> 02:00:48,000
First down for the Cowboys, 5.13 remaining in the third quarter.

1647
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:53,000
So the interception was the second of the day against Vince Ferragamo.

1648
02:00:53,000 --> 02:01:00,000
The first one was meaningless for the end of the first half.

1649
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:03,000
So we have 5.13 left in the third quarter.

1650
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:05,000
Cowboys have the ball at their own 30.

1651
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:06,000
They have a first down, they have the lead.

1652
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:09,000
With the score, the Cowboys 20, the Rams 13.

1653
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:11,000
Let's take time out.

1654
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:16,000
Given your treathers, wouldn't you really rather have a quiet, luxurious, elegant car?

1655
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:23,000
One that comes standard with power windows, power seats, air conditioning, even an automatic overdrive transmission?

1656
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:29,000
And under the hood, wouldn't you really rather have your choice of anything from a V6 to an optional V8 or a diesel?

1657
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:30,000
You would?

1658
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:35,000
Or just the Abuse dealer, and ask for the 1981 Electra Park Avenue.

1659
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:41,000
Wouldn't you please leave by the power of Buick?

1660
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:44,000
Ready on set.

1661
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:45,000
Hi, this is Michael Landon.

1662
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:48,000
You know what goes on behind the scenes is important.

1663
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:51,000
Because if things don't work well here, they won't work well up front.

1664
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:54,000
Same with pictures. What's behind them can make a difference.

1665
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:56,000
So I get mine printed on Kodak paper.

1666
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:59,000
And it's always available where you see the Kodak paper sign.

1667
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:03,000
You can't miss it. It's the sign with that memorable face. Mine.

1668
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:05,000
You're on, Mr. Landon.

1669
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:06,000
Okay.

1670
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:09,000
Look for the Kodak paper sign when you get your pictures developed.

1671
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,000
And tell them Michael sent you.

1672
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:15,000
Here's the first down running play by Doris Sett.

1673
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:18,000
He moves across the, out from the 30 yard line.

1674
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:21,000
Out to the 32. He got a couple in the Rams.

1675
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:24,000
Or without Rod Perry, who's sustained a blow to the head.

1676
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,000
Lucius Smith is then replacing him.

1677
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:29,000
So two rookies are playing the corners for the Rams.

1678
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:32,000
You know, that time the Dallas Cowboys went on a quick count again.

1679
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:34,000
The first time they did that, they picked up 11 yards.

1680
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:36,000
That time they tried to do it again.

1681
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:38,000
Same play, same formation.

1682
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:41,000
And the Rams were a little bit more alert and ready for the play.

1683
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:44,000
And they only picked up two yards on that one.

1684
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:49,000
Second down and eight from their own 32 for the Cowboys with Newhouse and Doris Sett.

1685
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:54,000
The defense and the Rams have to come up with some kind of a big play on their part of the field.

1686
02:02:54,000 --> 02:02:56,000
Interception, fumble recovery, something.

1687
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Here's a toss to Doris Sett running left.

1688
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:00,000
Gets outside to the 35, 40.

1689
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:02,000
And out of bounds he goes.

1690
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:04,000
And his own 46 and that's a Dallas first down.

1691
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:06,000
Reynolds bumps him out.

1692
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:10,000
They're sending a, they're sending a,

1693
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:13,000
an outside receiver, Drew Pearson in motion to the right.

1694
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:16,000
And they're taking their best defensive back out of the play.

1695
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:18,000
Talking about Nolan Cromwell.

1696
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:20,000
He's on the other side of the field when they run to the left.

1697
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:24,000
And he's out of business and that's why they're doing such a good job of making yardage on the play.

1698
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:27,000
We saw that the other night with Danny Schell of the Pittsburgh Steelers, didn't we?

1699
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:28,000
Yes we did.

1700
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:31,000
Doris Sett has caught, carried over 100 yards now.

1701
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:34,000
15 carries, 102 yards for Tony Doris Sett.

1702
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:37,000
He was pumped out at his own 46.

1703
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:40,000
And he's replaced by James Jones now.

1704
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:45,000
The ball's marked down on the Dallas 46 yard line.

1705
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:47,000
Shaw snaps the ball.

1706
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:49,000
The give to Newhouse, picks his way to midfield.

1707
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:51,000
Down to the 45, down to the 40.

1708
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,000
He breaks it at the 39.

1709
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:54,000
He has another first down.

1710
02:03:54,000 --> 02:04:03,000
At the Ram 38, a strong run by Robert Newhouse to the Los Angeles 38.

1711
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:06,000
The Cowboys are really dominating the line of scrimmage, which is very obvious.

1712
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:11,000
And this is tough when you run the ball this well against the Los Angeles Rams.

1713
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:12,000
You're doing a number on them up front.

1714
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:14,000
They're really demoralizing that game.

1715
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:18,000
And this is what I was talking about earlier when I said I thought that the Rams looked sluggish.

1716
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:21,000
You're tired and lethargic and now it's showing up out there, isn't it?

1717
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:22,000
Yes it is.

1718
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:25,000
The ball is at the 38 of the Rams.

1719
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:27,000
Cowboys leading 20 to 13.

1720
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:28,000
They have another first down.

1721
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:31,000
They're piling up first downs.

1722
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:34,000
And here is a touchdown pass by Whitey.

1723
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:38,000
He hears it out deep for Drew Pearson inside the five, incomplete.

1724
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:43,000
And he was thrown down then by Lucius Smith, the rookie cornerback.

1725
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:44,000
Incomplete.

1726
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,000
The ball hung up the bit.

1727
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:47,000
Smith was able to get there.

1728
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:50,000
Well he made up his mind he's going to throw the ball downfield.

1729
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:56,000
Salvi, the tight end, was open just like he was when he made the big play the last time they threw the same pass.

1730
02:04:56,000 --> 02:04:57,000
And he was ready to open.

1731
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:58,000
See if they come back to him, Jack.

1732
02:04:58,000 --> 02:04:59,000
He was really open on the play.

1733
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:03,000
We get word that Mike Hagman is out with an elbow injury being x-rayed.

1734
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:05,000
He was hurt on the interception return.

1735
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:09,000
Hagman is their starting left linebacker.

1736
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:13,000
Guy Brown will probably be featured when the Cowboys go on defense again.

1737
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,000
3.28 left in the third quarter.

1738
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:18,000
Cowboys leading 20 to 13.

1739
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:24,000
They have the ball, second and 10 at the Los Angeles 38.

1740
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:27,000
And Dorstet is back in there.

1741
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:29,000
They haven't thrown a screen in quite a while.

1742
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:31,000
They go into the shotgun formation.

1743
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:33,000
And Danny White is back to throw.

1744
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:35,000
He looks and throws, dumps it over the middle.

1745
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:37,000
It's caught down to the 30-yard line.

1746
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:41,000
And it's going to be third down and two as the ball was hauled in by Tony Hill.

1747
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:43,000
Tackled by Nolan Cromwell.

1748
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:48,000
Let's pause five seconds for stations to identify themselves on the CBS Radio Network.

1749
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:55,000
WBVM Chicago News and Sports Radio 78.

1750
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:59,000
I think these Cowboys can come at you from a lot of different directions if they get a Perkins.

1751
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:03,000
Yeah, they're using a lot more formations than they did the last time they played them on Monday Night Football.

1752
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:05,000
That might have been by design rather than accident.

1753
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:07,000
Of course they were playing catch-up football most of the time,

1754
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:11,000
but they're really doing a number on the Rams at this stage of the game.

1755
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:13,000
3-2 at the Los Angeles 30.

1756
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:16,000
Dreier and Youngblood are the defensive ends.

1757
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:24,000
And here is Dallas with a little boo-boo as Drew Pearson and Billy Joe DePree started in motion before the snap of the ball.

1758
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:34,000
It's against Dallas in Omega 3rd and 7th at the Rams 35.

1759
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:39,000
Ball starts, number 64, office.

1760
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:46,000
2-42 remaining in the third quarter, which has been dominated by the Dallas Cowboys.

1761
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:52,000
They made a drive for a touchdown and then Aaron Mitchell intercepted and stopped the Los Angeles return drive.

1762
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:57,000
The Cowboys lead by 7 minutes 3rd and 7th from the Los Angeles 35.

1763
02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:59,000
Hill and Drew Pearson come to the left.

1764
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:05,000
Preston Pearson is in the lineup with Dorsett to double wing, shotgun, short punt, whatever you want to call it.

1765
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:07,000
White weight to the snap.

1766
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:08,000
And he's back to throw.

1767
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:10,000
He throws and the Blitz is...

1768
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,000
Pete Johnson, touchdown!

1769
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:18,000
They beat the Blitz touchdown Dallas on the pass to Bush Johnson.

1770
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:22,000
Johnson beat his man.

1771
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:23,000
All the touchdown.

1772
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:27,000
Lucia Smith was on a blitz and Danny White beat him.

1773
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:31,000
Boy, he threw the ball exactly like he had to throw it that time, right over the top.

1774
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:32,000
He read the blitz.

1775
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:34,000
Bush Johnson went into the post.

1776
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:36,000
He got the ball right to him beautifully.

1777
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:41,000
White, you see 20 and 23 both blitzing on the play.

1778
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:45,000
Johnson blitzing on the play and Lucia Smith also blitzing on the play.

1779
02:07:45,000 --> 02:07:48,000
47 man head coverage, man for man.

1780
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:55,000
And he caught the ball over the rookie cornerback, over Jeff Delaney, the rookie safety man.

1781
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:59,000
And the Cowboys now lead 26 to 13.

1782
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:02,000
And they'll try for the extra point with 2.36 remaining.

1783
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:07,000
That was a 35-yard touchdown pass play from White to Bush Johnson, his fifth touchdown of the year.

1784
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:14,000
The extra point is just 14-point lead for the Dallas Cowboys with 2.36 remaining in the third game.

1785
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:16,000
In the third quarter.

1786
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:18,000
Oh, this game's hard to figure at times.

1787
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:31,000
Listen to the crowd.

1788
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:38,000
Mike, what's the big difference between this game and the game we saw on December 15th when the Los Angeles went out in front 35 to nothing?

1789
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:47,000
Well, another one, I don't think that the Rams came into the game with the same kind of attack as they did the last time, with the idea of throwing the football as much as they did the last time.

1790
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:52,000
They were a lot more loose, a lot more reckless, did everything with a lot more abandon.

1791
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:55,000
Today they haven't played that way.

1792
02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:59,000
The Dallas Cowboys came up with a couple of big plays, caught them in a blitz that last time.

1793
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:02,000
And I think any time that you blitz this, feast your famine.

1794
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:06,000
If you get to the quarterback as great as you don't, why can't be a big play just like happened in the last year?

1795
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:11,000
When the Cowboys get you in a spot like this, leading by 14, they can really play defensively.

1796
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:13,000
Oh, yes they can because the best thing they do is rush the passer.

1797
02:09:13,000 --> 02:09:18,000
And now they know you have to throw the ball to get back in the ball game and it puts a lot of pressure on your offense.

1798
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:25,000
70 yards, six plays, 35 yard touchdown pass to Butch Johnson.

1799
02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:29,000
And they overcame a penalty along the way and they beat a couple of Rams blitzes.

1800
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:32,000
The Cowboys lead by 14, but there's a long way to go in this game.

1801
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:36,000
Drew Hill waits for the kick from Seth Piaz. It's high, short.

1802
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:40,000
Hill goes over and takes it on the 11 running out to the 20 yard line.

1803
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:42,000
To the 25, he's tackled at the 30.

1804
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:53,000
The Rams go from the 30 yard line, covered downfield by Bill Rowe, the rookie linebacker for Dallas.

1805
02:09:53,000 --> 02:09:57,000
All put down on the Rams, 30 yard line.

1806
02:09:57,000 --> 02:10:04,000
There's 27 left in the third quarter. 64,533 in attendance.

1807
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:10,000
The thing you have to be careful of here at this stage of the game too, the emotional level is very high as far as the Cowboys are concerned.

1808
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:13,000
You make a mistake and you get yourself in trouble again.

1809
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:18,000
They get another easy six or seven or three and then you're really in trouble. You got to be very careful what you do.

1810
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:26,000
There's a toss to Thomas and he blows out across the 35 yard line and he is down at the 37.

1811
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:28,000
He got six yards on the carry.

1812
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:31,000
Tackled by Ed Jones and Bob Bruning.

1813
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:41,000
Eggman is out of the lineup for Dallas. Guy Brown playing the left linebacker spot.

1814
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:46,000
Thomas carried for six yards. Two minutes left in the third quarter.

1815
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:48,000
Second down and four for the Rams.

1816
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Here is Cullen Bryant. Stopped hold and then he broke a tackle and got a yard.

1817
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:57,000
It's going to be third down coming up. Third and long too.

1818
02:10:57,000 --> 02:11:02,000
Randy White again did a super job of getting penetration, making the bump.

1819
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:05,000
I should say the hit. It wasn't a bump. It was really a hit.

1820
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:08,000
On the running back that time, Cullen Bryant.

1821
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:14,000
Third down and two from their own 38 for Los Angeles. They put in the extra tight end.

1822
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:18,000
Wal Arnold checks in a rookie out of New Mexico.

1823
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:22,000
Third and two Los Angeles. They trail by 14.

1824
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:25,000
They knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs last year.

1825
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:27,000
Cowboys trying to return the favor.

1826
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:31,000
Trying for the first down. Thomas hurdles to the 40 and is driven back.

1827
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:35,000
Now let's see what kind of forward progress they gave him.

1828
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:36,000
They look pretty close.

1829
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:40,000
Yeah, I think they're going to mark it where it's going to be very, very close or else he made the first base.

1830
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:41,000
Yeah, he made it, Hank.

1831
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:47,000
They gave him enough forward progress, just shy of the 40 yard line, to the point where he does have a first down.

1832
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:49,000
They're going to measure and unless the field is crooked, he made it.

1833
02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:55,000
Guy Brown and Steve Wilson were the tacklers on the play.

1834
02:11:55,000 --> 02:12:01,000
Either that or unless the change got them elastic in it, why they shouldn't make it.

1835
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:08,000
And for the Los Angeles Rams, it is the first down at their own 40 yard line with 1-0, 7 left in the third quarter.

1836
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:11,000
Coast season NFL action is yours to enjoy.

1837
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:15,000
CBS radio sports brings you the AFC and NFC divisional playoffs next weekend.

1838
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:18,000
Saturday and Sunday, January 3rd and 4th.

1839
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:21,000
Also the conference championship games on January 11th.

1840
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:22,000
The Super Bowl is January 25th.

1841
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:24,000
The Pro Bowl on February 1st.

1842
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:26,000
You can hear it here.

1843
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:28,000
First down at their own 40.

1844
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:32,000
Motion by Nelson, the tight end and Ferragamo back to throw.

1845
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:34,000
He throws and it is incomplete.

1846
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:38,000
He overthrew his receiver inside the Dallas 45 yard line.

1847
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:40,000
Billy Waddy went high, couldn't get it.

1848
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:42,000
He was covered by Wilson, second and 10.

1849
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:44,000
Yeah, Ferragamo hurried himself that time.

1850
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:50,000
He had the right call, went right back to the down field against the defensive back.

1851
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:54,000
Had he thrown the ball lower, it would have been an easy reception.

1852
02:12:54,000 --> 02:12:58,000
But he threw it much quicker than he should have thrown it and threw it way over the top.

1853
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:05,000
Ed Jones, who has a bad toe, leaves the line up and Bruce Thornton, third year man out of Illinois, replaces him.

1854
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:07,000
That left defensive end.

1855
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:10,000
Second and 10 Rams from their own 40.

1856
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:12,000
They trail by 14 points.

1857
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:15,000
On the second down, the delay comes to Thomas.

1858
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:17,000
Trying to get outside, he gets to midfield.

1859
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:23,000
He is out of bounds after picking up the first down at the Dallas 48 yard line.

1860
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:28,000
Billy, that's the first time he's had to hand in your running room all afternoon, Jack.

1861
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:35,000
To the Dallas 48 and a first down with 42 seconds remaining in the third quarter and the clock stops.

1862
02:13:35,000 --> 02:13:44,000
Ed Jones comes back in. They ran right at the position vacated by Jones a moment ago.

1863
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:47,000
First down Los Angeles. It's a pretty good drive.

1864
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:50,000
They started at their own 30. They're at the Dallas 48.

1865
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:53,000
Nelson will probably come in motion to the right side here.

1866
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:55,000
No he isn't. He's taking it right there.

1867
02:13:55,000 --> 02:13:59,000
Here is Ferragamo's pass down field, intercepted by...incomplete.

1868
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:03,000
Wilson had it, Bobbilt had dropped it. Incomplete.

1869
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:08,000
Boy that would have done a lot for the Cowboys, but Wilson who had it in his grasp, dropped it.

1870
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:12,000
He intercepted one earlier today. He has five for the year, but he didn't get number six.

1871
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:13,000
It's second and ten.

1872
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:17,000
Boy he exercised bad judgment to throw the ball into that kind of a situation that time.

1873
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:20,000
They were double covering the outside receiver.

1874
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:23,000
They had no chance whatsoever to make that play work.

1875
02:14:23,000 --> 02:14:28,000
And they were very, very lucky that it wasn't intercepted that time by Steve Wilson, number 45.

1876
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:33,000
Second and ten from the Dallas 48 for the Rams. Trailing 27-13.

1877
02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:36,000
37 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

1878
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:39,000
Rams going from our left to our right.

1879
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:41,000
It's second down and Ferragamo's going to put it up.

1880
02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:46,000
He's rushed! He avoids the rush. He throws! Incomplete.

1881
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:49,000
And he just threw it away in front of Gerald Thomas.

1882
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:53,000
First he was rushed by Randy White, and then by Harvey Martin.

1883
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:59,000
He got away from both, throwing complete third and ten.

1884
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:02,000
Third and ten at the Dallas 48.

1885
02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:05,000
Rams were halted by an interception the last time.

1886
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:08,000
31 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

1887
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:17,000
Cowboys lead 27-13. We were tied 13 all at the half.

1888
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:25,000
Bernard goes to the left, along with Drew Hill, Billy Waddy. Willie Miller to the right now for Los Angeles. Waddy is out.

1889
02:15:25,000 --> 02:15:28,000
Ferragamo on third and ten is rushed. Steps up, runs.

1890
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:30,000
33 is open!

1891
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:32,000
And it is incomplete.

1892
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:37,000
He didn't throw a very good ball as he tried to get it to the back at the Dallas 40.

1893
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:43,000
He threw it way over the head of Thomas, and it's hunting time for the Rams up fourth down.

1894
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:50,000
This Cowboy crowd is rooting them out, the Cowboys, on all nine games they have played in this stadium this year.

1895
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:55,000
And it kind of looks like they're on their way again.

1896
02:15:55,000 --> 02:16:00,000
Now back to get the putt is Jones at his 10.

1897
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:05,000
And a month from Frank Corral, snapped by Dennis Harris.

1898
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:11,000
He'll be in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, and February 1st we'll be there for CBS Radio.

1899
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:14,000
Here's the kick by Corral. It's his best of the day.

1900
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:20,000
High and deep, and a fair catch is called for. It bounces inside the five, and it is downed at the five by the Rams.

1901
02:16:20,000 --> 02:16:24,000
Jones did the right thing. He stepped away from the ball, but the Rams got the bounce.

1902
02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:29,000
What an amazing bounce that was on synthetic turf. Normally it'll go over and into the end zone.

1903
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:35,000
That happened twice in the game. One time for the Dallas Cowboys, and one time for the Los Angeles Rams.

1904
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:43,000
That putt was 46 yards by Corral, dead on the Dallas Five, with 12 seconds left in the third quarter.

1905
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:49,000
Jeff Delaney is still in there. Pat Thomas is out, Rod Perry is out.

1906
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:56,000
Both cornerbacks are absent. Leroy Urban and Jeff Delaney are back there with Cromwell and Johnson.

1907
02:16:56,000 --> 02:17:01,000
Now the Cowboys, leading by 14, have to make sure they hang on to the ball.

1908
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:07,000
They have Dorcent newhouse. Dawes playing the right defensive end in place of Dreier.

1909
02:17:07,000 --> 02:17:10,000
And a double tight end.

1910
02:17:10,000 --> 02:17:15,000
On first down, they give to Dorcent. He's hit and he lost a yard on the play.

1911
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:18,000
Reynolds, the middle linebacker, blowing in there and knocked him off his feet.

1912
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:24,000
And that'll mark the end of the third quarter. Second and 11 from their own four for the Cowboys when we come back.

1913
02:17:24,000 --> 02:17:30,000
That's the end of the third quarter with a score. Dallas 27, the Rams 13.

1914
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:39,000
Jack Reynolds was shaken up on that last tackle, but he stays in there.

1915
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:43,000
And Rod Perry comes back in on the right corner for the Rams, and that will help Los Angeles.

1916
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:46,000
Yeah, that's very encouraging, I'm sure, for the Los Angeles Rams.

1917
02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:51,000
First down, Dallas has 19. The Rams 13.

1918
02:17:51,000 --> 02:17:57,000
Rushing 172 to 80. Dallas has the edge there. Passing, white 11 out of 24.

1919
02:17:57,000 --> 02:18:03,000
179 yards, three interceptions. Marigammo, 12 out of 27. 48 yards, that's all.

1920
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:07,000
And two intercepts. Eight penalties against Dallas, four against the Rams.

1921
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:14,000
Dallas has had to punt only twice. Six punts for the Rams today.

1922
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:19,000
Second down and 11 from their four, and here's a give to the tailback Dorcent out to the ten.

1923
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:25,000
He comes out to the 14-yard line, making his third down and a yard and a half.

1924
02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:28,000
Leroy Irvin tackled him, and that was a big play for the Cowboys.

1925
02:18:28,000 --> 02:18:37,000
Yes it was, and a left tackle. Pat Donovan, Herbert Scott, the left guard, really did a good job of coming off the ball that time and knocking them off the line of scrimmage.

1926
02:18:37,000 --> 02:18:42,000
They're both pro bowlers, Pat Donovan and Herb Scott, and it shows you how strong they are on the left side.

1927
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:47,000
Dorcent to the 14.

1928
02:18:47,000 --> 02:18:50,000
Third down and a yard.

1929
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:55,000
This crowd, 64,000 plus, wants the Cowboys to get the first down.

1930
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:58,000
Timmy Newsom is in there with Dorcent, there in the high formation.

1931
02:18:58,000 --> 02:19:02,000
Saldy on a wing. They give to Dorcent, almost fumbled, gets the first down out to the 20.

1932
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:06,000
He's out to the 25, to the 28, fumbled, got it back.

1933
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:12,000
Dorcent fumbled, almost fumbled, did fumble, got it back, but he has the first down of the Dallas 29.

1934
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:17,000
Isn't it amazing how many times people have an opportunity to fall into football, they don't do it correctly.

1935
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:21,000
The Rams should have had possession of the football that time, they did not fall into the ball.

1936
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:31,000
It bounced right back into the ball carrier's hands, Dorcent, I think, and they have possession first and 10.

1937
02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:39,000
First down of their own 29.

1938
02:19:39,000 --> 02:19:42,000
The Rams have been shut out here in the second half.

1939
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:45,000
We have 13-25 left in the game.

1940
02:19:45,000 --> 02:19:51,000
James Jones runs, springs in the backfield. Here is a toss to Timmy Newsom.

1941
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:57,000
Timmy Newsom comes out to the 40-yard line and beyond the first down, out to the 43, and the Cowboys are ripping him up now.

1942
02:19:57,000 --> 02:20:03,000
They get right that time, the middle linebacker was blitzing, he went to the right side, to the open side of the field.

1943
02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:07,000
They ran to the opposite direction, there was no pursuit from the inside, from the middle linebacker.

1944
02:20:07,000 --> 02:20:10,000
For that reason, they were able to make another big gain on the play.

1945
02:20:10,000 --> 02:20:24,000
14 yards by Timmy Newsom, the rookie out of Winston-Salem State under 12.50 left in the game.

1946
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:28,000
Cowboys leading 27-13.

1947
02:20:28,000 --> 02:20:33,000
They have come from their own five-yard line, out to their 44.

1948
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:36,000
And they'll be doing nothing crazy here.

1949
02:20:36,000 --> 02:20:44,000
Staying on the ground, they give the ball to the tailback Dorsett following Newhouse, and he has really blasted down by Mike Fanning.

1950
02:20:44,000 --> 02:20:50,000
Dorsett should be a little slow on getting up, but he got down to his 49-yard line and picked up five yards. What a whack he took.

1951
02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:58,000
Boy, Fanning really responded well to that run and got a good shot on Dorsett, number 79, the defensive right tackle.

1952
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:04,000
Second down and five, and the old clock is killing the Rams now.

1953
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:07,000
Twelve minutes left.

1954
02:21:07,000 --> 02:21:11,000
Second down and five for the Cowboys.

1955
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:14,000
Dorsett and Newhouse, you'll see the tight end.

1956
02:21:14,000 --> 02:21:24,000
Newhouse, he gets Jarnett down to the 45. He gets down to the 41-yard line and another first down for the Dallas Cowboys.

1957
02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:30,000
Newhouse did a good job of reading the block that time. He started inside, broke to the outside, popped through the hole,

1958
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:35,000
and picked up the yardage. Beautiful job of running on the part of Newhouse.

1959
02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:39,000
Eleven-twenty-nine remaining in the game.

1960
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:43,000
...

1961
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:51,000
Cowboys have had the ball the outset of this fourth quarter, and they've kept the ball for almost, well, they've kept it for more than four minutes.

1962
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:56,000
They have now 23 first downs and a first down at the Ram 41.

1963
02:21:56,000 --> 02:22:06,000
They're showing a lot of character here today. Dorsett running left is in trouble, cuts back, and he gets to the 40-yard line and works very hard to pick up one yard.

1964
02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:08,000
...

1965
02:22:08,000 --> 02:22:13,000
Holding against the Cowboys.

1966
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:30,000
Dallas holding. And the Rams will accept the penalty to slow down this Dallas running game. They've just been chewing up the clock and the yards and protecting their 27-13 lead.

1967
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:34,000
A big third quarter for the Dallas Cowboys with two touchdowns.

1968
02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:38,000
...

1969
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:43,000
And he's had 87 as J. Saldy, the tight end, who is holding.

1970
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:49,000
Ball is at the Dallas 49. First and 20.

1971
02:22:49,000 --> 02:22:56,000
Rod Perry is on the corner along with Leroy Irvin for the Rams with Cromwell and Johnson, the safety men.

1972
02:22:56,000 --> 02:23:04,000
Here's a toss to Timmy Newsom. He tries to get outside, breaks the tackle, gets to the 45, gets to the 40, to the 35, got big yard.

1973
02:23:04,000 --> 02:23:11,000
Very close for a first down. It's got to be second and two on a big run by Timmy Newsom, his second of the day.

1974
02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:13,000
Jim Youngblood tackles it.

1975
02:23:13,000 --> 02:23:21,000
He didn't understand why he ran over a couple of people there. Jack, he's 6'1", 227, a rookie from Winston-Salem State, and he did a super job of running on the last play.

1976
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:27,000
Even though it was first and 20, the Cowboys stayed on the ground and they picked up 18 yards on that run by Timmy Newsom.

1977
02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:36,000
They're going to continue to run the ball. They're doing a good job of knocking them off the line of scrimmage and they're going to try to take as much time as they possibly can and they're doing a good job of it right now.

1978
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:46,000
Dallas has kept the ball for more than five minutes. They have a 14-point lead.

1979
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:52,000
And here is a give to the tailback door set. He gets to the 30. He picked up a couple.

1980
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:59,000
There's James Jones in there and he got a couple.

1981
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:04,000
Door set is carried for 132 yards and he comes back in.

1982
02:24:04,000 --> 02:24:08,000
They have a good many more running backs than the Rams have.

1983
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:11,000
That's another first down.

1984
02:24:11,000 --> 02:24:14,000
The Los Angeles 30-yard line.

1985
02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:17,000
And that offensive line of the Cowboys is sparkling now.

1986
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:24,000
Yeah, they really are. Pat Donovan, Scott Shaw, Rafferty and Cooper are really doing a good job of knocking them off the football at this stage of the game.

1987
02:24:24,000 --> 02:24:26,000
9-22 left in the game.

1988
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:32,000
Cowboys leading 27-13. First down at the Los Angeles 30. Tony Dorsett to the 25, to the 20.

1989
02:24:32,000 --> 02:24:37,000
He's down to the 15. He's down to the 10. He's down to the 7 and stops there.

1990
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:43,000
First and goal. Dallas door set tackled by Irvin and Andrew.

1991
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:45,000
And the Rams are poof.

1992
02:24:45,000 --> 02:24:51,000
They really are. They're dying on the vine. You can look at the way they're walking around, bolting around after that kind of a run.

1993
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:54,000
They are really demoralized, it looks like.

1994
02:24:54,000 --> 02:24:58,000
With 8-52 left in this game.

1995
02:24:58,000 --> 02:25:05,000
First and goal for the Cowboys from the 7-yard line. They are really taking it to the Rams now.

1996
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:10,000
Nolan Cromwell had a chance to make the tackle. You don't see that happen very often, but he missed.

1997
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:15,000
Dallas overcame a holding flaw on this drive and they have first and goal. They have two tight ends.

1998
02:25:15,000 --> 02:25:18,000
Cosby and Dupree, first and goal from the 7.

1999
02:25:18,000 --> 02:25:20,000
Shaw the center.

2000
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:24,000
Springs in the backfield with Dorsett. The snap. White's going to throw.

2001
02:25:24,000 --> 02:25:26,000
He is sacked back at the 15 yard line.

2002
02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:30,000
And the ball came loose, but the play was dead. And Jack Youngblood got him.

2003
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:33,000
Came roaring in there as he beat Cooper the tackle.

2004
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:36,000
And he brought him down.

2005
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:38,000
Why would they do that, Hank?

2006
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:42,000
Why did they put it up after running at the length of the field? The flag is down.

2007
02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:46,000
They had a bump and run on the outside and they thought they could get the ball outside for a big play and get one into the end zone.

2008
02:25:46,000 --> 02:25:48,000
It was worth a try. It was a good play.

2009
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:50,000
Except they didn't block it.

2010
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:51,000
Guess wrong on the play.

2011
02:25:51,000 --> 02:25:56,000
The ball is at the 7 first and goal. The flag has been thrown and yardage marked off against the Cowboys.

2012
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:59,000
Back to the 12.

2013
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:00,000
Delay of game.

2014
02:26:00,000 --> 02:26:05,000
Delay of game. So the play did not count.

2015
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:09,000
Delay of game back to the 12. So the sack did not count.

2016
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:11,000
First and goal from the 12.

2017
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:17,000
Ten penalties against Dallas.

2018
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:19,000
At the Los Angeles 12.

2019
02:26:19,000 --> 02:26:21,000
8.21 left in the game.

2020
02:26:21,000 --> 02:26:23,000
Boy, they kept the ball for a long time.

2021
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:25,000
Almost seven minutes.

2022
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:27,000
Look at that middle.

2023
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:28,000
Look at the middle.

2024
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:30,000
You might be changing the play.

2025
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:32,000
Here is White giving the ball to Dorsett.

2026
02:26:32,000 --> 02:26:33,000
And he is spun down at the 11.

2027
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:35,000
He gained only a yard.

2028
02:26:35,000 --> 02:26:37,000
Big Mike Fanning latched on to him.

2029
02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:39,000
But.

2030
02:26:39,000 --> 02:26:42,000
Time is way against the Rams now.

2031
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:43,000
Trial by 14.

2032
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:45,000
We're coming up on the 8 minute mark left in the game.

2033
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:47,000
So they have kept the ball.

2034
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:48,000
At this moment.

2035
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:50,000
Seven minutes and 12 seconds.

2036
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:51,000
And they still have it.

2037
02:26:51,000 --> 02:26:56,000
The ball is at the 11.

2038
02:26:56,000 --> 02:27:01,000
They have plenty of time remaining on the 32nd clock as the Cowboys come out.

2039
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:03,000
7.45 remaining.

2040
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:05,000
Cowboys leading 27-13.

2041
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:06,000
At the Rams 11.

2042
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:08,000
Second and goal.

2043
02:27:08,000 --> 02:27:09,000
White.

2044
02:27:09,000 --> 02:27:11,000
Motion by Drew Pearson.

2045
02:27:11,000 --> 02:27:12,000
Back to throw.

2046
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:13,000
Rolls right.

2047
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:14,000
Looks.

2048
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:15,000
He could run.

2049
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:16,000
He throws.

2050
02:27:16,000 --> 02:27:18,000
Touchdown to Drew Pearson.

2051
02:27:18,000 --> 02:27:20,000
Who whips the ball into the stands.

2052
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:22,000
Another touchdown for Dallas.

2053
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:24,000
11 yard touchdown.

2054
02:27:24,000 --> 02:27:25,000
Last play.

2055
02:27:25,000 --> 02:27:28,000
With the rookie Leroy Irvin on the corner.

2056
02:27:28,000 --> 02:27:35,000
Drew Pearson.

2057
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:39,000
With the all time leading.

2058
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Cowboy receiver having surpassed the record of Bob Hayes.

2059
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:45,000
Runs the score to 33.

2060
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:47,000
13.

2061
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:49,000
7.31 remaining in the game.

2062
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:56,000
The Yankee will try the extra points.

2063
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:58,000
33-13.

2064
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:02,000
Dallas by 20.

2065
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:03,000
Wait for the snap.

2066
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:05,000
The Charlie Waters will get it down.

2067
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:09,000
And now it is a 21 point lead for the Dallas Cowboys.

2068
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:12,000
34-13.

2069
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:15,000
Looks like they go to Atlanta.

2070
02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:17,000
In the game next Sunday in Minnesota.

2071
02:28:17,000 --> 02:28:20,000
We'll go to Philadelphia next Saturday.

2072
02:28:20,000 --> 02:28:21,000
Looks like it.

2073
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:23,000
With the score.

2074
02:28:23,000 --> 02:28:26,000
The Dallas Cowboys 34, the Rams 13.

2075
02:28:26,000 --> 02:28:28,000
Let's take time out.

2076
02:28:28,000 --> 02:28:29,000
Welcome to the office of the few.

2077
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:31,000
Makes corrections right here on the display screen.

2078
02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:34,000
And text electronically from your office to anywhere.

2079
02:28:34,000 --> 02:28:36,000
Moves whole new code paragraphs.

2080
02:28:36,000 --> 02:28:37,000
The touch of the button.

2081
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:38,000
The old fashioned typewriter.

2082
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:39,000
It even adds and subtracts.

2083
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:40,000
Multiply and divide.

2084
02:28:40,000 --> 02:28:41,000
Change margin.

2085
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:42,000
Change page number.

2086
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:43,000
Change heading.

2087
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:44,000
Change column.

2088
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:45,000
Change type style.

2089
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:46,000
Change style.

2090
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:48,000
The world of business machines.

2091
02:28:48,000 --> 02:28:52,000
It's a confusing tangle of equipment, capabilities, and promises.

2092
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:57,000
But now, out of the confusion, emerges Exxon Office Systems Company.

2093
02:28:57,000 --> 02:29:03,000
We've innovated such advances in office technology as Quicks, the intelligent typewriter.

2094
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:10,000
An electronic marvel with a host of automatic features that free secretaries from the monotony of routine office typing.

2095
02:29:10,000 --> 02:29:13,000

But most of all, we make it simple to make your office more productive.

2097
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:23,000
Introducing Exxon Office Systems.

2098
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:32,000
Dallas kicking off with 70 and Drew Hill, the deep man for the Rams.

2099
02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:34,000
With 731 remaining in the game.

2100
02:29:34,000 --> 02:29:35,000
A deep kick into the end zone.

2101
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:39,000
Hill takes it from three yards deep and runs right to the 10 to the 15.

2102
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:41,000
Outside of the 20.

2103
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:42,000
And he is pumped out of bounds.

2104
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:43,000
At about the 22.

2105
02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:45,000
What a drive that was by the Cowboys.

2106
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:46,000
Thank you.

2107
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:53,000
They started from their own five, at 95 yards, 11 plays, 7 minutes and 41 seconds as they kept the ball.

2108
02:29:53,000 --> 02:29:57,000
Yeah, it's pretty incredible that you get a team in trouble like that, to have them on the four or five yard line.

2109
02:29:57,000 --> 02:30:01,000
And they're able to go 95 yards and consume that much time.

2110
02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:03,000
It's a great compliment to the Dallas Cowboys.

2111
02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:05,000
And, but a real surprise.

2112
02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:07,000
You don't think they'd be able to do that.

2113
02:30:07,000 --> 02:30:14,000
Dorsetta set a new Cowboy playoff record with 156 yards, surpassing the old record held by Dwayne Thomas.

2114
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:18,000
From their 22, Ferragamo with no choice but to throw his back to throw.

2115
02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:22,000
He throws and it is caught by Thomas out near the 28 yard line.

2116
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:26,000
And he has dropped a substantial game for the Rams, but no first down.

2117
02:30:26,000 --> 02:30:33,000
The ball is to the Los Angeles 28.

2118
02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:35,000
And an injured player.

2119
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:45,000
Thomas, the rookie running back out of San Jose State has shown the ability to catch the ball.

2120
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:48,000
Doug France, the offensive tackle, has shaken up, has to leave.

2121
02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:52,000
Irv Hankey comes in, a rookie out of Penn State.

2122
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:57,000
7.06 left.

2123
02:30:57,000 --> 02:30:59,000
And we have a timeout. 7.06 left.

2124
02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:01,000
Timeout on the field with a score.

2125
02:31:01,000 --> 02:31:06,000

2142
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:06,000
Second and four for the Rams.

2143
02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:11,000
A delay to Colin Bryant comes across the 30 out to the 32 and has the first down for Los Angeles.

2144
02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:14,000
Packled by White and Martin.

2145
02:32:14,000 --> 02:32:16,000
The Cowboys are giving all of those they want, Hank.

2146
02:32:16,000 --> 02:32:17,000
Yeah, that's what they want.

2147
02:32:17,000 --> 02:32:24,000
They want them to take as much time and travel slowly, take as much time on the clock, and that's exactly what they're giving them.

2148
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:27,000
The Tigers down for the Rams at their own 32.

2149
02:32:27,000 --> 02:32:29,000
Doug France injured earlier back in there.

2150
02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:31,000
625 left in the game.

2151
02:32:31,000 --> 02:32:35,000
Cowboys leading 34 to 13.

2152
02:32:35,000 --> 02:32:38,000
Garagamo, the quarterback.

2153
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:40,000
And the poor man right.

2154
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:46,000
He's back to throw, steps up, he's back into 25 yard line.

2155
02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:53,000
Back at the 25 yard line, Randy White, Bruce Sparks, put the pressure on.

2156
02:32:53,000 --> 02:32:56,000
Lost the seven yards.

2157
02:32:56,000 --> 02:33:01,000
Hank, you don't have to have a lot of guts to say that the Cowboys have won this game.

2158
02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:05,000
They lead by 21 points with six minutes left in the game.

2159
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:07,000
Yeah, I think we can go way out in the limps.

2160
02:33:07,000 --> 02:33:14,000
Way out in the limps, Jack, and say they're going to win this football game unless a miracle occurs between now and the time the six minutes to last.

2161
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:16,000
Ball is at the Los Angeles.

2162
02:33:16,000 --> 02:33:19,000
21, second down and 16.

2163
02:33:19,000 --> 02:33:24,000
They stay on the ground and the running play to the 30, to the 35, to the 40 with Cullen Bryant.

2164
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:31,000
Ryan Tackle at the 40 by Larry Cole.

2165
02:33:31,000 --> 02:33:43,000
And it is going to be third down to, you know, on the December 15th, the Rams beat the Cowboys 38 to 14.

2166
02:33:43,000 --> 02:33:47,000
And now, the Cowboys lead 34 to 13.

2167
02:33:47,000 --> 02:33:49,000
You explain that to me.

2168
02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:51,000
Crazy game, isn't it?

2169
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:53,000
Third and two for the Rams.

2170
02:33:53,000 --> 02:33:56,000
Barragallo, the quarterback, is going to put it up.

2171
02:33:56,000 --> 02:34:06,000
He throws short. It's caught by Thomas. Has the first down out of the 47 yard line of Los Angeles, tackled by Mitchell and a flag goes down.

2172
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:09,000
And we have a holding call.

2173
02:34:09,000 --> 02:34:17,000
It's something against the Rams.

2174
02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:21,000
506 left in the game.

2175
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:27,000
Mike Higman has a dislocated elbow, so the starting left linebacker for the Rams, for the Cowboys.

2176
02:34:27,000 --> 02:34:32,000
He won't be there for the Atlanta game next Sunday either.

2177
02:34:32,000 --> 02:34:39,000
New playoff record for Charlie Dorsey. He's rushed for 156 yards, breaking Dwayne Thomas' record.

2178
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:43,000
Set against San Francisco back in 1971.

2179
02:34:43,000 --> 02:34:46,000
The Rams were holding.

2180
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:53,000
And it's third down and 13 from their 30 yard line.

2181
02:34:53,000 --> 02:34:56,000
Barragallo to put it up, a four-man rush.

2182
02:34:56,000 --> 02:35:04,000
Barragallo steps up and draws, and it's caught by Dennard to midfield in a first down as he goes out of bounds at the Dallas 49.

2183
02:35:04,000 --> 02:35:07,000
These Rams can do some things, but they haven't done enough.

2184
02:35:07,000 --> 02:35:13,000
Five minutes exactly left in the game.

2185
02:35:13,000 --> 02:35:18,000
To the Dallas 49 in a first down, exactly five minutes remaining in the game.

2186
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:23,000
Cowboys leading 34-13. They'll play at Atlanta next Sunday.

2187
02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:25,000
That'll be the second game.

2188
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:37,000
Meanwhile, the Rams are out and Minnesota will play in Philadelphia next Saturday in the early game, 12-15 Eastern Time on CBS Radio.

2189
02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:44,000
The Rams trying to keep the drive going. Barragallo about to pass. He throws long into very heavy coverage, and it is intercepted.

2190
02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:49,000
Intercepted at the five by Dexter Clinkdale, the rookie, his first of the year.

2191
02:35:49,000 --> 02:35:55,000
He's out of South Carolina State, and Barragallo just threw a jump ball down there.

2192
02:35:55,000 --> 02:35:57,000
That's all it was yesterday.

2193
02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:00,000
Anybody close to making that catch for the Los Angeles Rams?

2194
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:02,000
4.51 left in the game.

2195
02:36:02,000 --> 02:36:06,000
Cowboys have the ball at their own six on the interception by Dexter Clinkscale.

2196
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:10,000
And that against Barragallo is the third interception of the day.

2197
02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:14,000
With a score, the Cowboys 34 in the Rams 13. Let's take time out.

2198
02:36:14,000 --> 02:36:24,000
Standard 4.1 liter V6. Available 3.8 liter turbocharged V6. 5.0 liter V8 or 5.7 liter diesel V8. Front wheel drive.

2199
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:32,000
The 1981 Buick Riviera. It offers engine choices and engineering features that would do justice to several cars, much less one.

2200
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:36,000
And Riviera's list of comforts and conveniences is, we submit, practically endless.

2201
02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:41,000
The incredible 1981 Buick Riviera. The kitchen sink not available.

2202
02:36:41,000 --> 02:36:44,000
Cruise master speed control.

2203
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:50,000
Monday, high flying comedy and suspense on CBS television as Freebie and the Bean go after drug smugglers in the sky.

2204
02:36:50,000 --> 02:36:54,000
I got plenty of sources over the border and a foolproof delivery system.

2205
02:36:54,000 --> 02:36:58,000
When a pretty pilot bails out at 10,000 feet, it's time for Freebie to learn how to fly.

2206
02:36:58,000 --> 02:37:01,000
Now what's going on? What are you doing with my airplane?

2207
02:37:01,000 --> 02:37:03,000
I'm gonna get a citation for this, Bean. Trust me.

2208
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:04,000
What's that?

2209
02:37:04,000 --> 02:37:06,000
Pull it out! Give it some power!

2210
02:37:06,000 --> 02:37:12,000
Freebie and the Bean, a special night, Monday at 8, 7 Central Mountain on CBS television.

2211
02:37:14,000 --> 02:37:25,000
Fox, the Houston Adult Club broadcast with Lindsay Nelson and Jim Kelly here on CBS radio will commence one minute after we're finished down here at Texas Stadium, where the Cowboys lead 34 to 13.

2212
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:29,000
Dallas has the ball at their own six.

2213
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:34,000
Don't forget we'll have the cotton ball at 2 o'clock Eastern time Thursday, New Year's Day here on CBS radio.

2214
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:38,000
Taylor and Alabama.

2215
02:37:38,000 --> 02:37:47,000
White shifts his ball club into the eye, gives to the tailback, door set, starts one way, cuts back, comes out to the 10, got four.

2216
02:37:47,000 --> 02:37:53,000
Door set for the four yard run.

2217
02:37:53,000 --> 02:38:01,000
Coming up on four and a half minutes remaining in this game and the Rams can't do anything about their plight. They are finished for the year.

2218
02:38:01,000 --> 02:38:06,000
They had an 11 and 5 record during the season.

2219
02:38:06,000 --> 02:38:09,000
And now we have an injured player being tended to.

2220
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:16,000
With four and a half minutes exactly left in the game, Rod Perry is injured again for Los Angeles.

2221
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:19,000
Rod Perry of the Rams walks off injured.

2222
02:38:19,000 --> 02:38:23,000
He'll need some of that Hawaiian sunshine on February 1st when he's there for the Pro Bowl.

2223
02:38:23,000 --> 02:38:24,000
Hank, he's a good football player.

2224
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:34,000
Yes, he certainly is. And it's amazing the way the Dallas Cowboys dominated the second half. It was 13-13 at halftime and then three scores by the Dallas Cowboys in the third quarter.

2225
02:38:34,000 --> 02:38:43,000
And I think the big thing really was when they took the ball in a 37 yard line and went 63 yards, door set going 10 yards for the touchdown.

2226
02:38:43,000 --> 02:38:51,000
That kind of sets the stage for the second half and it hasn't changed one bit since that particular time.

2227
02:38:51,000 --> 02:38:56,000
Danny White is still the quarterback. The ball is at the Dallas 10.

2228
02:38:56,000 --> 02:38:59,000
Second down and six.

2229
02:38:59,000 --> 02:39:03,000
Jones in the backfield with Newhouse. They shift, split back.

2230
02:39:03,000 --> 02:39:10,000
Second down. The give is to Newhouse trying to get outside, cuts it back and picked up to maybe three yards, four minutes left.

2231
02:39:10,000 --> 02:39:16,000
Now less than that. The tackle made by Mike Fanning.

2232
02:39:16,000 --> 02:39:22,000
Newhouse sees the ball marked down at his 13 yard line.

2233
02:39:22,000 --> 02:39:26,000
13-3.

2234
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:32,000
Rams not anxious to stop the clock. We're down to 3.35 remaining.

2235
02:39:32,000 --> 02:39:36,000
Cowboys leading by 21 points, 34 to 13.

2236
02:39:36,000 --> 02:39:41,000
As Hank mentioned, it was tied at the half. 13-all so the Rams have been shut out in the second half.

2237
02:39:41,000 --> 02:39:45,000
Well, you can almost see it happening.

2238
02:39:45,000 --> 02:39:50,000
There's a toss to door set running left tire to Jones trying for the first down and he gets it.

2239
02:39:50,000 --> 02:39:53,000
Out to the 20 yard line, James Jones.

2240
02:39:53,000 --> 02:39:56,000
They have a lot of fresh bags and it makes a difference.

2241
02:39:56,000 --> 02:40:04,000
It certainly does and the offensive line, as I mentioned before, are really doing a good job of knocking the Lions off the line of scrimmage.

2242
02:40:04,000 --> 02:40:09,000
For that reason, they've got some scenes to run into and they're taking advantage of what they see.

2243
02:40:09,000 --> 02:40:12,000
Hank, 26 first downs for Dallas.

2244
02:40:12,000 --> 02:40:14,000
Well, that's really something, isn't it?

2245
02:40:14,000 --> 02:40:18,000
If we talk about a turnaround, it's hard to explain as we talked about a minute ago.

2246
02:40:18,000 --> 02:40:21,000
2.45 left in the game.

2247
02:40:21,000 --> 02:40:27,000
Cowboys at their own 20 now with a first down.

2248
02:40:27,000 --> 02:40:30,000
They have Jones and Newhouse in there.

2249
02:40:30,000 --> 02:40:32,000
Shaw at the center.

2250
02:40:32,000 --> 02:40:35,000
Saldy's a tight end and here comes Jones again.

2251
02:40:35,000 --> 02:40:38,000
He is not down until he comes to the 25 yard line.

2252
02:40:38,000 --> 02:40:41,000
He got five.

2253
02:40:41,000 --> 02:40:46,000
Time back at that time, Jack Reynolds made the tackle or else he'd have been going for a larger game than that.

2254
02:40:46,000 --> 02:40:51,000
And now we'll have the two minute warning before we have anything else because the Cowboys want the clock to run down.

2255
02:40:51,000 --> 02:40:53,000
The Rams don't want to stop it.

2256
02:40:53,000 --> 02:40:58,000
Don't forget later on, Houston at Oakland with Lindsey Nelson and Jim Kelly.

2257
02:40:58,000 --> 02:41:00,000
We have exactly two minutes left in this game.

2258
02:41:00,000 --> 02:41:02,000
A timeout on the field with a score.

2259
02:41:02,000 --> 02:41:07,000
The Cowboys 34 and the Rams 13.

2260
02:41:07,000 --> 02:41:14,000
We're here at Pencil, Tufo, Chevy City interviewing one of the more interesting monsters to make those monster deals on Chevy cars and trucks.

2261
02:41:14,000 --> 02:41:18,000
Today it's Zomar Zircon, the eight foot tall green monster from the planet Zircon.

2262
02:41:18,000 --> 02:41:20,000
He works in the used car department.

2263
02:41:20,000 --> 02:41:22,000
Zomar, what brought you to Chicago land?

2264
02:41:22,000 --> 02:41:27,000
I could not get a good deal on a used car on the planet Zircon.

2265
02:41:27,000 --> 02:41:35,000
So you left your home planet and galaxy and traveled many light years searching and searching until your spaceship came to rest in the Chevy City used car lot

2266
02:41:35,000 --> 02:41:39,000
where you became first a customer and eventually a member of the Monster Sales Team.

2267
02:41:39,000 --> 02:41:40,000
That is correct.

2268
02:41:40,000 --> 02:41:44,000
Chevy City has the best selection and prices in the universe.

2269
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:48,000
How do you like sports in general and the Chicago Bears football team?

2270
02:41:48,000 --> 02:41:53,000
The Bears are peachy keen and I play nose guard on the Chevy City team.

2271
02:41:53,000 --> 02:41:54,000
Peachy keen?

2272
02:41:54,000 --> 02:41:55,000
Well, it takes all kinds.

2273
02:41:55,000 --> 02:42:02,000
Folks, that's Zomar Zircon, one of the monster dealers at Pencil, Tufo, Chevy City, North Avenue just west of Route 53 in Glendale Heights.

2274
02:42:02,000 --> 02:42:10,000
Saturday, Minnesota will play at Philadelphia at 12.30 Eastern Time.

2275
02:42:10,000 --> 02:42:14,000
We'll be on the air at 12.15 on CBS radio next Saturday.

2276
02:42:14,000 --> 02:42:21,000
And then Sunday, the 4th, Dallas will play in Atlanta on the air at 3.45 for that 4 o'clock Eastern Time game.

2277
02:42:21,000 --> 02:42:26,000
Well, there'll be some good running backs on display in the Dallas-Atlanta game with Andrews and Kane over there with the Falcons.

2278
02:42:26,000 --> 02:42:28,000
Yeah, they're ready to go after each other.

2279
02:42:28,000 --> 02:42:34,000
I haven't seen Atlanta play all year long, so, and we still won't see them play next week.

2280
02:42:34,000 --> 02:42:38,000
So we might not see them until Super Bowl time if they go that far.

2281
02:42:38,000 --> 02:42:42,000
Here is another first down play and John Brickson out to the 40-yard line.

2282
02:42:42,000 --> 02:42:48,000
He's not tackled until he came across the 45 out to the 47 with another Dallas first down.

2283
02:42:48,000 --> 02:42:50,000
He's piling up some yards.

2284
02:42:50,000 --> 02:42:53,000
Urban made the tackle.

2285
02:42:53,000 --> 02:42:56,000
To the Dallas 47.

2286
02:42:56,000 --> 02:42:58,000
What a blow through there.

2287
02:42:58,000 --> 02:43:04,000
It's amazing the way the Dallas Cowboys have run against the Los Angeles Rams.

2288
02:43:04,000 --> 02:43:07,000
They've really, really done a super job.

2289
02:43:07,000 --> 02:43:12,000
If the Rams weren't worn out at the outset of the game, they are now.

2290
02:43:12,000 --> 02:43:15,000
Meanwhile, an advantage for those other clubs sitting for the action next weekend.

2291
02:43:15,000 --> 02:43:16,000
They're well rested.

2292
02:43:16,000 --> 02:43:18,000
A minute and 20 left in the game.

2293
02:43:18,000 --> 02:43:21,000
Another first down for Dallas out to their 47.

2294
02:43:21,000 --> 02:43:24,000
They lead 34-13.

2295
02:43:24,000 --> 02:43:26,000
And on first down.

2296
02:43:26,000 --> 02:43:33,000
There is a handoff by White to Jones again, but nothing knowing this time.

2297
02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:35,000
He was hit right at the line of scrimmage.

2298
02:43:35,000 --> 02:43:37,000
No game.

2299
02:43:37,000 --> 02:43:38,000
How much time is left?

2300
02:43:38,000 --> 02:43:40,000
55 seconds.

2301
02:43:40,000 --> 02:43:42,000
Another player too, and this one will be over.

2302
02:43:42,000 --> 02:43:43,000
The Rams will be out.

2303
02:43:43,000 --> 02:43:44,000
The Cowboys will play at Atlanta.

2304
02:43:44,000 --> 02:43:49,000
That means Minnesota will play at Philadelphia next Saturday.

2305
02:43:49,000 --> 02:43:54,000
27 first downs for Dallas in this game.

2306
02:43:54,000 --> 02:44:01,000
Out of the 64,000 have departed the scene.

2307
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:03,000
Cowboys will have to run only one more play.

2308
02:44:03,000 --> 02:44:05,000
It's second down and nine.

2309
02:44:05,000 --> 02:44:09,000
They'll just snap the ball and White will do something very conservative.

2310
02:44:09,000 --> 02:44:15,000
He tosses the ball and running with the ball is coming, breaking it down into 30.

2311
02:44:15,000 --> 02:44:16,000
Down to the 25.

2312
02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:19,000
He stays in bounds.

2313
02:44:19,000 --> 02:44:23,000
He is tackled at the 19, and that will be the final play of the game.

2314
02:44:23,000 --> 02:44:32,000
It will be another Dallas first down, giving them 28 first downs in the game and a victory in this wildcard playoff game over the Rams.

2315
02:44:32,000 --> 02:44:34,000
24-13.

2316
02:44:34,000 --> 02:44:36,000
The end of the game between the Cowboys and the Rams.

2317
02:44:36,000 --> 02:44:54,000
The final score of Dallas 34, the Rams 13.
