00:00:09Stadium in Irving Texas.

00:00:12It's the Detroit Lions and the

00:00:13Dallas Cowboys.

00:00:15Hello everybody.

00:00:16I'm Lindsey Nelson with Paul

00:00:17Harney here in Texas and Paul

00:00:19Detroit Lions a three and three

00:00:20when they played well they've

00:00:21done it lots of the time with

00:00:23two double two tight ends.

00:00:24They sure have.

00:00:25They haven't won a game all year

00:00:26long on the road Lindsey.

00:00:27And really when they played good

00:00:29game time Charlie Sanders and

00:00:30David Hill both their tight ends

00:00:32I think you're going to see a

00:00:33lot of that today.

00:00:34They hope to run the football

00:00:35and cut down on the mistakes and

00:00:37quarterbacking the Lions the

00:00:38number two ranked passer in the

00:00:39conference and he's had a good

00:00:41year Lindsey he's been sacked

00:00:42twenty five times and that's a

00:00:43problem with the Detroit line

00:00:44offense they haven't given him

00:00:46actually enough time he's having

00:00:47a fine year is ranked number two

00:00:48behind Roger the Dallas Cowboys

00:00:51of course at times I've had an

00:00:52awesome defense I get back up

00:00:53with a pretty good safety boy

00:00:55they sure are you could talk a

00:00:56lot about a lot of guys on

00:00:57defense but those two guys right

00:00:58now Charlie Waters and Cliff

00:01:00Harris Cliff Harris leads the

00:01:01league in interceptions with

00:01:03for the NFC and they really come

00:01:04up and stick it and the field

00:01:06general Roger stop what are you

00:01:07going to say about him stall

00:01:08back right now in my mind is the

00:01:10best quarterback and

00:01:11professional football period

00:01:12they he's the leader of this

00:01:14club he holds them together he

00:01:15knows what he's doing lions and

00:01:17the Cowboys so now let's take a

00:01:19look at the field Dallas

00:01:23Cowboys will be kicking off the

00:01:25Lions won the toss elected to

00:01:26receive and so it'll be a friend

00:01:28of the era during the kicking

00:01:29off Rick Cain is back there

00:01:35center deep to receive the kick

00:01:37off for the Detroit Lions Cain

00:01:42is moving up and it is dropped

00:01:44instead by Eddie Payton and

00:01:47Eddie Payton picked it up and

00:01:48advanced it Eddie Payton the

00:01:50brother of Walter Payton of the

00:01:52Chicago Bears who was added

00:01:53to the Lions a Detroit backfield

00:02:00wide receivers and tight end

00:02:04offensive line for Detroit

00:02:07Detroit first and 10 they have

00:02:10the ball at their own 30 yard

00:02:11line artificial turf here at

00:02:14Texas Stadium King is the lone

00:02:22hitter on the setback and a slot

00:02:24right in the wing left Greg

00:02:27Landry dropping back going along

00:02:30to the wing back and it is

00:02:31incomplete intended for Leonard

00:02:34Thompson the wing back second

00:02:36and 10 there are the linebackers

00:02:39for Dallas D.D. Lewis however is

00:02:45out in my segment is in there

00:02:48D.D. Lewis has a virus Lindsay

00:02:49and he's dressed for the game I

00:02:51have a double tight end with

00:02:53Mike Hickman to your man from

00:02:55Tennessee State starting and

00:02:57that right cornerback spot for

00:02:58the Cowboys second down and 10

00:03:01yards to go at the 30 yard line

00:03:04ours King is a lone setback they

00:03:05have a double tie in and they're

00:03:06now at David Hill and Charlie

00:03:08Sanders as your double tight end

00:03:10situation we were talking about

00:03:12the top King carries it for five

00:03:19yards to the thirty five where

00:03:21the Cowboys have Harris free

00:03:22safety up to make the stop for

00:03:24the Dallas Cowboys Dallas now

00:03:30employing a couple of extra

00:03:32defensive backs as your

00:03:33offensive lineman for the

00:03:34Cowboys defensive lineman and

00:03:37that's a good one Harvey Martin

00:03:38here comes Harvey third and five

00:03:41and these two defensive ends in

00:03:43two tall Jones lands and Harvey

00:03:45Martin they can almost chant

00:03:47here comes Harvey Harris King is

00:03:50dropping back Landry's dropping

00:03:53back and send it for Jarvis

00:04:03so it'll be the punting unit

00:04:04coming out now and not only

00:04:07double team Harvey Martin on the

00:04:09left side Lindsay Jim Yarbrough

00:04:11who has a slight shoulder

00:04:14injury they double teaming they

00:04:16triple team you on the left side

00:04:17on that passing situation over

00:04:19the average thirty six point six

00:04:21he has a bad ankle but it's his

00:04:22left ankle and he'll be kicking

00:04:24to Butch Johnson back to receive

00:04:25it for the Dallas Cowboys and

00:04:29that's the cause of that punt to

00:04:31Lindsay out of bounds at the 40

00:04:33yard line the Cowboys get

00:04:35excellent field position first

00:04:36and then at their 40 on the 25

00:04:38yard punt and let's take up a

00:04:39little for Wilbur Summers Lindsay

00:04:40said he's got a bad left ankle

00:04:42you saw how quickly he had to

00:04:43get rid of the putt not that he

00:04:45was rushed but he is not a two

00:04:47step kicker he only took two

00:04:49steps he didn't get the timing

00:04:50and the ball went off the side

00:04:51of his foot the Dallas offensive

00:04:54backfield and the wide receivers

00:04:55and tight end for the Cowboys and

00:04:57the offensive line for Dallas

00:05:00first and 10 at their own 40

00:05:01yard line Roger Starbuck brings

00:05:04them up Robert Newhouse the lone

00:05:06set back here Preston Pearson

00:05:09evens up with him they do a lot

00:05:11of motion in the backfield

00:05:13and the linebacker to the 45 for

00:05:21five before yet only on the

00:05:22middle linebacker made the stop

00:05:23for the Detroit Lions it's gonna

00:05:24be second and by the defensive

00:05:28front for Detroit and the

00:05:31linebackers and the secondary

00:05:38second down and five door sets

00:05:40in the backfield now only door

00:05:42set for the Dallas Cowboys I

00:05:44think this is the earliest that

00:05:46Tom Landry has seen fit to put

00:05:48dorset in the ballgame sets on

00:05:53the tail of the tandem he's got

00:05:56the ball quickly by lamb Barney

00:06:01playing the right corner here

00:06:03this afternoon he read the keys

00:06:05very well that time lamb Barney

00:06:06is playing the right corner

00:06:07usually he's a safety man but

00:06:09Walt Williams is not playing at

00:06:11all and look at Barney come up

00:06:13with the big play he's been a

00:06:14big play back all his life

00:06:16Lindsay's a good tackler good

00:06:18hard nose football player he will

00:06:19come up with the big play

00:06:20whether it's punt return he's

00:06:22been a valuable guy for Detroit

00:06:24for so many years third down and

00:06:26nine to go Charlie West strong

00:06:28safety didn't make the trip and

00:06:29Reggie Pinckney is the starting

00:06:31strong safety Nick Geron is the

00:06:32free safety for the Detroit

00:06:34Lions third down and nine yards

00:06:36to go shotgun formation and

00:06:39Roger Starbuck has the ball he

00:06:40is complete Justin Pearson he

00:06:43has a first and 10 at the 43

00:06:45yard line of the Detroit Lions

00:06:47he loves to go to Preston

00:06:48Pearson just had him in the slot

00:06:50double wing he went down did a

00:06:51little square out let's see we

00:06:52can pick it up there he is he's

00:06:54the third man in from the top of

00:06:56your screen what Starbuck here

00:06:58comes a square out pattern the

00:07:00twenty second catch for Preston

00:07:02Pearson he's a fine receiver he's

00:07:04finally pulled down there's an

00:07:05injury on the far side of the

00:07:07field first down Cowboys James

00:07:09Turner is injured on the play

00:07:11here's the left corner for the

00:07:13Detroit Lions so this is an

00:07:14injury timeout while they're

00:07:18still talking down here in

00:07:19Dallas about Tony Dorsett they

00:07:22love him down here and I think

00:07:23you're going to see more and

00:07:24more as the season gets on

00:07:26Lindsay he's headed for rookie

00:07:27of the year honors no question

00:07:29about that we have no score on

00:07:31the ball again twelve minutes

00:07:32seventeen seconds remaining in

00:07:33the first quarter introducing

00:07:35the Ford in your future the new

00:07:37Ford Fairmont a new car designed

00:07:40for today and the years ahead

00:07:42Fairmont's mileage ratings are

00:07:43the same as a little VW rabbit

00:07:45when both are equipped with

00:07:46automatic transmission and this

00:07:48Fairmont as shown is actually

00:07:49sticker price less than this

00:07:51rabbit yet Fairmont has 90

00:07:52percent of the head leg and

00:07:54shoulder room of most large

00:07:55cars Fairmont roomy but with

00:07:57mileage like a small car and the

00:07:59lowest sticker price in its

00:08:00class test drive Fairmont the

00:08:02newest better idea from Ford the

00:08:07Quintrix to color picture to

00:08:08from Panasonic brings you a very

00:08:10lifelike picture because

00:08:12Quintrix is our inline picture

00:08:15tube with an extra pre focus

00:08:17lens that concentrates and

00:08:18focuses the electron beam to

00:08:21bring you Panasonic's sharpest

00:08:23picture ever so lifelike you may

00:08:26even feel you're a part of the

00:08:28picture Quintrix to one more

00:08:31reason Panasonic is just

00:08:32slightly ahead of our time

00:08:37James Hunter still getting

00:08:38attention and he is up now and

00:08:40coming off the field under his

00:08:42own power left corner back by

00:08:44the Detroit Lions racing off the

00:08:45field while Williams has

00:08:49replaced him at the corner now

00:08:50number twenty one it's good to

00:08:53see that he's all right because

00:08:54Charlie West had a in step

00:08:58strain late in the week did not

00:09:01make the trip so they're hurting

00:09:02it defensive backs if someone

00:09:04goes down with an injury.

00:09:07This is new house straight

00:09:08ahead to the 40 yard line he

00:16:50afternoon to make it 7 0 which

00:16:52would be the best start they have

00:16:53ever had Jack Eberling the

00:16:56referee that was his whistle

00:17:53second down and six yards to go

00:17:54Jeff Rowe Pugh made the tackle

00:17:56along with Ed Jones

00:18:12Jarvis comes out to a wide right

00:18:15at Horace King back there's a

00:18:16lone setback most of the time so

00:18:18far Greg Landry the quarterback

00:18:21number two right on the

00:18:22conference among the past King

00:18:26got a yard at the 35 yard line

00:18:28making a third and five as a

00:18:35first grade scorer Cleveland 13

00:18:37Kansas City nothing a couple of

00:18:39field goals by Don Cockroft

00:18:41and a third down and five coming

00:18:45here for the Detroit Lions

00:18:52Landry calling the next play

00:18:55that is 91 for one hundred

00:18:56fifty four he has completed 59

00:18:59point 1 percent five touchdowns

00:19:00and one interception loves to go

00:19:06to Horace King who leads the

00:19:07NFC delay of game out of custom

00:19:11five yard ball is marked ready

00:19:14to play you have 30 seconds to

00:19:15get it in action and if you

00:19:16don't it cost you five.

00:19:17Those are the kind of stupid

00:19:18mistakes that coaches just hate

00:19:21Lindsay.

00:19:22That's just almost a waste down

00:19:24a waste of five yards uncalled

00:19:26for delay in the game offense

00:19:32that's going to make it third

00:19:33down and 10 yards to go and

00:19:35that's a 30 what it also does

00:19:37it gives Harvey Martin again I'll

00:19:39say it and Randy White and that

00:19:42front for just time to tee off

00:19:44if they go back if they drop

00:19:45back legal procedure procedure

00:19:53and Landry is walking over

00:19:55towards the sideline for some

00:19:56purpose he wants something he

00:19:58gets it whatever it is he wants

00:20:01forward the other way boys

00:20:05a little stick a little substance

00:20:08they throw on the field to the

00:20:10quarterback it is a lot of your

00:20:12quarterbacks especially

00:20:13receivers will use what they

00:20:15have stick them that's a legal

00:20:16procedure against Detroit to

00:20:18cost them five Landry I think

00:20:21uses alcohol on his hands to get

00:20:26the grip better third down and

00:20:2815 yards to go at the 25 yard

00:20:30line as that unique setup lands

00:20:34and the two tight is both

00:20:36blocking and they're back to

00:20:37throw and completely trying to

00:20:42get it to Jarvis but almost in

00:20:43their deception on that corner

00:20:45I tell you they only sent out

00:20:46two receivers both the flankers

00:20:48were the only two receivers

00:20:49downfield watch you got plenty

00:20:53of time to throw the football

00:20:54because everybody's double team

00:20:55you see Randy White they're

00:20:56double team Gregory was double

00:20:58team they kept both tight ends

00:21:00in the block but that lets the

00:21:02Dallas defense double cover

00:21:04and see they had him short and

00:21:05long no chance Wilbur Summers

00:21:07back in deep on formation but

00:21:08Johnson deep to receive it as

00:21:14spiraling kids Johnson is

00:21:15waiting at the thirty two

00:21:18laterally to the left and it's

00:21:20up to the thirty five around to

00:21:21the forty Johnson to the forty

00:21:22five and out about every person

00:21:25that at the forty five yard line

00:21:26a forty three yard putt so again

00:21:28the Cowboys get it and they get

00:21:30it in very excellent field

00:21:31position first and then at their

00:21:33own forty five and they're

00:21:33forty five score three to

00:23:03First in Denver Dallas they have

00:23:04the ball at their own forty five

00:23:05yard line.

00:23:06Preston Pearson shifts into the

00:23:07tailback in the I formation

00:23:09Roger Starbuck the quarterback

00:23:10has the ball to get it to Golden

00:23:16Richards making the move was

00:23:19James Hunter defensively

00:23:20incomplete and all the time in a

00:23:55here by a score of three nothing

00:23:56in the first quarter delay.

00:23:59Here's a look at the game.

00:24:00Preston Pearson 50 to the

00:24:03Detroit 47 yard line and of eight

00:24:06yards on the play we'll make it

00:24:07third down and to Reggie Pinkney

00:24:10up from strong safety to make the

00:24:11stop.

00:24:12Good move by Preston Pearson on

00:24:13the cut Minnesota Atlanta tied

00:24:15up touchdown pass targeted and

00:24:16won by Scott Hunter seven apiece

00:24:18second quarter jets in New

00:24:24England are tied up second

00:24:25quarter 10 apiece Jay Salty is

00:24:29down at a block kick last week

00:24:31against the Philadelphia Eagles

00:24:32in Philadelphia the one that was

00:24:33picked up by Charlie Waters and

00:24:35run in 17 yards for a go ahead

00:24:37touchdown third down two yards

00:24:39to go as Pearson moving back and

00:24:41Newhouse moving over and a wing

00:24:43right person got the first down

00:24:51first and 10 at the 44th.

00:24:53You saw one of the reasons why

00:24:55Tom Landry is elected to go with

00:24:56Preston Pearson experience.

00:24:58He knows the offense he knows

00:25:00these blockers just came with a

00:25:02rollout draw made a good cut for

00:25:03about six angles for the first

00:25:05down around the right side here

00:25:07in Dallas they figured that

00:25:08Preston Pearson is one of the

00:25:09most valuable free agent pickups

00:25:11ever made.

00:25:11Maybe the best lens.

00:25:12Absolutely.

00:25:13He has worked right into the

00:25:14dollar scheme of things and its

00:25:16first intent at the Detroit 44

00:25:19yard line.

00:25:20You know Pearson's handled the

00:25:21ball over 85 times and he's only

00:25:23had one fumble issue.

00:25:24He's got it now and he's inside

00:25:29the 40 yard line picked up four

00:25:31yards to make it second and six

00:25:33James Hunter made the stop who

00:25:35they just cut Paul Neumann down

00:25:37a double teaming Golden

00:25:38Richardson Robert Newhouse on

00:25:41the block enabling Pearson to

00:25:42get to the outside picked up

00:25:43about four for today's game for

00:25:47Dallas the inactive players are

00:25:49a feel right and Glenn Carano and

00:25:50for Detroit the inactives are

00:25:52Charlie West and Gary Danielson

00:25:54and the inactive 45 man squads

00:25:59of course and two players are

00:26:00designated inactive for each

00:26:01game making the squad limit 43

00:26:04that's Preston Pearson going to

00:26:05the tailback and he's got the

00:26:07ball but this time he is pulled

00:26:09down by Charlie Weaver the line

00:26:11backer from Southern Cal quick

00:26:13reaction that time by the right

00:26:15linebacker number 59 Charlie

00:26:17Weaver got one interception on

00:26:19the air watch off to the left

00:26:20side we got new house there but

00:26:22Weaver was just a little bit too

00:26:23impatient new house just wasn't

00:26:25ready for the block Pearson

00:26:27getting up very slowly an injury

00:26:29timeout Preston Pearson is the

00:26:31man on one knee and I'll bring

00:26:36Darsette into the ballgame he's

00:26:39already out there Darsette stuff

00:26:41for me to remember Darsette I'll

00:26:43tell you that right now because

00:26:44he and I were about five games we

00:26:48watched Tony play in college when

00:26:50he was Tony Darson there he is

00:26:53he's had a great year he scored

00:26:55five touchdowns that's tied for

00:26:57the league lead he's got three

00:26:59hundred eighty five yards

00:27:01rushing that's the best of any

00:27:02rookie in the league like that

00:27:05Preston Pearson getting a hand as

00:27:06he goes off new house has gone

00:27:08off also Scott Laidlaw has come

00:27:10in with Darsette a new set of

00:27:11running backs that's the thing

00:27:12about this Dallas club they are

00:27:14very deep and fine running backs

00:27:16you know what impresses me more

00:27:17than anything Tom Landry has just

00:27:19maneuvered this club in such a

00:27:20beautiful position twenty four

00:27:23out of the forty three guys are

00:27:24suited up we mentioned it last

00:27:25week or playing with three years

00:27:28or less experience in the league

00:27:29so it looks as if the Cowboys are

00:27:31going to be a powerhouse for

00:27:32years to come third down play

00:27:34coming here and they shift into

00:27:36the shotgun you'll be introducing

00:27:39Starbuck as the first 52 year old

00:27:41quarterback maybe Starbuck golden

00:27:46red or rather to Tony Darsette

00:27:48incomplete Darsette incomplete

00:27:50beautiful pass right there Tony

00:27:52Darsette had it right through

00:27:54his fingertips that'll make it

00:27:59fourth and seven and so Danny

00:28:02White the punters come on he's

00:28:04averaged thirty nine point six

00:28:05yards per kick he is a direction

00:28:08punter gets a high trajectory and

00:28:10gets that ball usually over close

00:28:11to the sideline so that run backs

00:28:13against him have been few Eddie

00:28:14Payton is back there with Dick

00:28:15Geron Hayden and Geron are deep

00:28:18to receive it for the Detroit

00:28:19Cowboys well he moves up chases

00:28:24his mind and now finds that he's

00:28:26got to be back there in the end

00:28:27zone touchback first and ten at

00:28:29the 20 yard line a forty one

00:28:31yard fine very smart by Danny

00:28:33White there he saw a little

00:28:34daylight around the right side

00:28:35it's a good thing one of those

00:28:36line bears a flag down and it's

00:28:39going to go against Dallas

00:28:40probably ineligible it is

00:28:42violation of the right violation

00:28:44of the kick coverage rule only

00:28:45the outside man can go before

00:28:47the outside man can go illegal

00:28:50man downfield on the punt

00:28:52offense number 58 refused first

00:28:56down they want the ball at the

00:28:5820 yard line first and 10

00:29:00imagine I tell you Danny White

00:29:02there just saw a little daylight

00:29:03there and that's very smart of a

00:29:04punter many occasions you'll

00:29:07pick up that first down he saw a

00:29:08little daylight around the right

00:29:10side and could have gone for the

00:29:11first down Danny White of course

00:29:13was a college quarterback at

00:29:14Arizona State he has many

00:29:16athletic attributes though

00:29:17incredible ability to do product

00:29:17field.

00:29:21Who is the number one

00:29:22investment firm in the east who

00:29:25is the number one investment

00:29:27firm in the Midwest who is the

00:29:30number one investment firm in

00:29:31the south who is the number one

00:29:34investment firm in the West you

00:29:36know who Merrill Lynch all

00:29:39around America more investors

00:29:41turn to Merrill Lynch than any

00:29:42other investment firm sure a

00:29:45Number one, Merrill Lynch.

00:29:49Ah!

00:29:51Take me away, lover!

00:29:53I'm yours if I don't go with my women!

00:29:55What are you doing in our Granada?

00:29:57Granada? This is my Mercedes!

00:29:59Who typed in Gans to my Cadillac?

00:30:01Cadillac? That's for Granada.

00:30:03Alone at last, beloved!

00:30:05Beloved? Where's my bride?

00:30:06She got that Mercedes with another man.

00:30:08Another man?

00:30:09The new Ford Granada.

00:30:11One way to tell it from Cadillac or Mercedes is its sticker price.

00:30:14America needs a better idea.

00:30:16Ford puts it on wheels.

00:30:20The Detroit Lions have the ball first at 10 at their own 20-yard line.

00:30:23They send Ray Jarvis forward to the right side.

00:30:25Horace King is the lone setback for Greg Landry, the quarterback.

00:30:33Horace King?

00:30:35Moves out for 2 yards.

00:30:37To the 22, making it 2nd down and 8 yards to go.

00:30:40Ed Jones and Jethro Pugh.

00:30:44There it is.

00:30:46There's Harvey Martin, big number 79.

00:30:48Stands Yarbrough straight up, and that's his job.

00:30:51Just picked up maybe a yard and a half.

00:30:55Randy White's got to be underneath there somewhere. Usually is.

00:30:592nd down and 8 yards to go.

00:31:01Horace King, the lone setback. Wide receivers left and right.

00:31:04They're not going to beat Dallas doing that.

00:31:09Landry? Blitz!

00:31:11Outside.

00:31:13Did he ever pop?

00:31:14That was a blitz.

00:31:16On the outside, on the right side, number 58.

00:31:19That's Mike Hegman, who's substituting for D.D. Lewis.

00:31:22Now watch. There goes Martin to the outside, Lindsay, and it creates a hole on the inside.

00:31:27Here comes Hegman, blindsided.

00:31:30Landry did not have a shot.

00:31:32It's an incompleted pass. His arm had started forward, and it's not a fumble.

00:31:36An incompletion, which simply cost him a down, making it 3rd and 8 at the 22.

00:31:40Quarterbacks get hot when that happens.

00:31:42Landry wants Busse.

00:31:44Landry's what? Been sacked 25 times,

00:31:46and you're going against a team, the Dallas Cowboy defense,

00:31:49who lead the league in sacks with 25.

00:31:52And the Lions have been sacked 29 times,

00:31:55which leads the league in the number of times they've been sacked.

00:31:58On the slide right, Landry.

00:32:02Incomplete. Short out. Dexter Busse.

00:32:05He's had ankle trouble, wears high-top shoes these days.

00:32:084th down, the funding unit comes on.

00:32:11The reason this pass was incomplete.

00:32:13Now watch how quickly Landry has to get the ball off.

00:32:16Well, you can't see it, but he was rushed.

00:32:18Busse, just on a little square out, working on the linebacker.

00:32:21Incomplete.

00:32:23And it's Wilbur Summers, headed to the funding, his 3rd kick of the day,

00:32:26and Butch Johnson is back there rushing 10th.

00:32:28I tell you, no wonder Detroit's had problems all year with blocked punts.

00:32:41Butch Johnson, at his 41-yard line, to the 45,

00:32:45and moves it up in advance of the 47-yard line.

00:32:48He's going to break one before the year is over with, Lindsay, 37-yard punt.

00:32:52But Butch Johnson is so dangerous back there,

00:32:54he will break one before the year is over.

00:32:56Every family has its differences, but wait until you watch

00:32:58the battling Boninos in action in tonight's edition of On Our Own,

00:33:02coming on right after Rota on CBS.

00:33:08I don't know whether that's for rain or possible sunshine.

00:33:12I don't know if I was sitting behind that, I might get a little bit hot.

00:33:17First and 10.

00:33:19Dallas Cowboys have the ball at their own 47-yard line.

00:33:23Preston Pearson to the tailback.

00:33:27New out.

00:33:29And he is across to the 46-yard line of Detroit before Reggie Pinckney comes up.

00:33:35John Fitzgerald, a good block.

00:33:37Herb Orvis had moved over, head up the nose.

00:33:40Now, here's your backs.

00:33:41Right there, Newhouse is off the right side,

00:33:43but Fitzgerald got the key block on the defensive tackle, Herb Orvis.

00:33:49Cowboy cheerleaders.

00:33:50I like to throw a block in the hole pile right there.

00:33:54They are cute, aren't they?

00:33:55And muchly publicized, also.

00:33:58Preston Pearson went out of the game with a Charlie,

00:34:00who has recovered quickly, and he's in their tailback right now.

00:34:03Second and three, and he's got the ball.

00:34:06And he has got the first down.

00:34:10Just outside the 42, and we have 39 seconds left to play in the period.

00:34:14Lim Barney on the tackle.

00:34:16Cowboys are leading by a score of three to nothing.

00:34:18It is a first and 10 outside the 42-yard line.

00:34:22You know, one thing about it, though,

00:34:23is they've controlled the ball game a lot more than the score indicates.

00:34:28Dallas has had fine field position on all three of their possessions.

00:34:31They've moved the football, come away with only three points.

00:34:35So that might turn around, you know.

00:34:37That could turn around.

00:34:38One good play could put Detroit in pretty good field position.

00:34:41Soccer's run down to 10 seconds now.

00:34:43Remaining to be played in the first quarter.

00:34:47Stalbach's got the ball.

00:34:48Watch the crossing pattern.

00:34:50And it's completed with shots on, and he is at the 25-yard line.

00:34:55So it is a first and 10 for the Dallas Cowboys at the 25,

00:34:59and there is the gun.

00:35:03Here it is.

00:35:04Look at all the time Stalbach has to throw the football.

00:35:07He's got Johnson coming over the middle.

00:35:09There he is. He makes the good catch.

00:35:10This guy's dangerous.

00:35:12End of the quarter. Cowboys three lines, nothing.

00:35:27I'm going to keep on doing that until I get it right.

00:35:30Yeah, I work hard and I play hard,

00:35:32and I use new STP gas treatment.

00:35:34You just pump it in your tank and it goes to work cleaning your carburetor.

00:35:37I take good care of my wheels on account I'm cheap.

00:35:40I bet you are, too. Try it.

00:35:46This is one of the program cartridges you snap into new Telstar Arcade.

00:36:01Quick draw with electronic pistol for target shooting.

00:36:04Got him.

00:36:05Or games in full color.

00:36:06Other cartridges available with different programs.

00:36:09So hitch your TV to a Telstar.

00:36:11Telstar Arcade by Coleco.

00:36:16Stop off at our good rich dealer, Stanley.

00:36:18We must have the radial tires rotated.

00:36:20Have them what?

00:36:21Rotated, sir.

00:36:22But the front one's in the back and the back one's in the front.

00:36:24Move them, sir, so they'll wear more evenly.

00:36:27The good rich dealer says they'll last longer.

00:36:29How ingenious.

00:36:30No wonder those clever good rich people made that marvelous blimp.

00:36:36Stanley, do you ever wonder why you're up there and he's back here?

00:36:41Tires you can trust.

00:36:42P.F. Goodrich.

00:36:43The other guys.

00:36:46As we start the second quarter here at Texas Stadium,

00:36:48this is Lindsay Nelson with Paul Horning,

00:36:50and the Dallas Cowboys have the ball.

00:36:52First down and ten yards to go on the Lions' 26-yard line.

00:36:57The Cowboys are leading 3-0 as Roger Staubach brings them up.

00:37:04Dorsett evens up with Newhouse.

00:37:10Staubach.

00:37:13Completed to Dupree.

00:37:14The tie down at the 25-yard line for a gain of a yard.

00:37:17So it'll be second down and nine.

00:37:19Limborn, he had it diagnosed beautifully.

00:37:21James Hunter on the stop.

00:37:24Tried a little against the grain to the big tight end.

00:37:26Pearson now is 24 yards and 7 carries.

00:37:29Newhouse 31 and 6.

00:37:30First quarter score.

00:37:31Walter Payton has added a touchdown.

00:37:33That's his sixth of the year.

00:37:35So Johnny Musso scored the first touchdown.

00:37:38Walter Payton adding a touchdown.

00:37:40Chicago 13.

00:37:41The Packers nothing in a long year from a man barred.

00:37:45Second down and nine yards to go.

00:37:48Dorsett is the tailback.

00:37:51Tony Dorsett.

00:37:53No gain.

00:37:54Hops at the 25 with a lie on defense.

00:37:56Led by Paul Neumauf and Charlie Weaver.

00:38:01Third down and nine yards to go.

00:38:07And that font right there tells the story of a good rookie year.

00:38:11Tony Dorsett.

00:38:13Average 5.7 yards per carry.

00:38:15And he feels if he just can play the game long enough

00:38:18if he just can play the game long enough

00:38:20stay in for a little time.

00:38:21He wants to play.

00:38:22You can't blame that on him because he's been a star.

00:38:26He turned that whole program around to Pittsburgh.

00:38:28But he wants more playing time.

00:38:30He feels that he can play a little bit longer.

00:38:32He'll break one.

00:38:33Golden Richards went out of the ballgame.

00:38:35Butch Johnson came in at a wide receiver.

00:38:38There's a delay call.

00:38:40Delay of game will cost him five yards.

00:38:42That'll make it third down and 14.

00:38:44And the ball will move back to the 30-yard line.

00:38:49You know, Lindsey, sometimes that happens when a quarterback

00:38:51gets the line of scrimmage.

00:38:52He wants to audible.

00:38:53He looks around at the defense and he sees

00:38:55he might see a weaker so they might be stacked up

00:38:57where the play is called.

00:38:59So he audibles at the line of scrimmage.

00:39:01That's why it's so important for the teams to come out

00:39:03of the huddle a little bit more quickly.

00:39:05Get to the line of scrimmage.

00:39:06Get to the line of scrimmage.

00:39:07Get to the line of scrimmage.

00:39:08Get to the line of scrimmage.

00:39:09Get to the line of scrimmage.

00:39:10Get to the line of scrimmage.

00:39:11Get to the line of scrimmage a little bit more quickly.

00:39:13Get to the line of scrimmage.

00:39:14That enables the quarterback to have a little bit more time.

00:39:16There goes Staubach into the shotgun.

00:39:19Scott Laidlaw in the backfield along with Darcet now.

00:39:23Staubach.

00:39:27Down behind as he crossed the 30.

00:39:30Penalty marker is thrown.

00:39:31Penalty marker is thrown.

00:39:32of the game Ernest Price got him

00:39:39from behind and there's a flag

00:39:41down this curve or this was the

00:39:43man in the flurry there on the

00:39:45ground along with Starbuck at

00:39:47the time and all of us has come

00:39:49off might be piling on let's

00:39:55check it air stall back out of

00:39:57shotgun notice Fitzgerald he

00:39:58doesn't even look at the

00:39:59quarterback when he centers it

00:40:00automatic flag was thrown down

00:40:05you hear the booing in the

00:40:06background and here's Ernest

00:40:07Price he catches it now when he

00:40:09hits there goes the football

00:40:11now everybody's running towards

00:40:12the football so he threw the

00:40:14flag down and I think he had

00:40:17second thoughts Lindsay that's

00:40:19exactly what happened he had

00:40:20second thoughts said there was

00:40:21no penalty fourth down of all

00:40:24the spotted at the twenty eight

00:40:34that's put the Dallas Cowboys

00:40:36out in front by a score of six

00:40:38and I think we have 13 minutes

00:40:40twenty two seconds left to play

00:41:50six to nothing next Sunday NFL

00:41:53the Los Angeles on CBS Dallas in

00:41:55the Giants New Orleans and

00:41:56Philadelphia San Francisco and

00:41:58Atlanta Chicago and Houston

00:42:00Green Bay and Kansas City and

00:42:06Los Angeles round a friend

00:42:08Harara kick ball game takes at

00:42:13the 80s to the 10 to the 15 20

00:42:14twenty five Rick can up to the

00:42:1840 yard line so the Detroit

00:42:20Lions have good field position

00:42:22and they're going to have to

00:42:23come out of that first quarter

00:42:24and that's the best field

00:42:28position Detroit has had Lindsay

00:42:30in fact in the first quarter

00:42:31Dallas controlled the football

00:42:33offensively for over 11 minutes

00:42:35Detroit only had it for three

00:42:37and a half actually Detroit's

00:42:39very lucky to come out of that

00:42:40first quarter only trailing six

00:42:42to nothing.

00:42:45All right.

00:42:45King is the lone setback Greg

00:42:49Landry quarterbacking Tommy

00:42:51Lowe's they can out there by Ray

00:42:53Jarvis Jarvis is it at the 44

00:42:55yard line.

00:42:56Benny Barnes on the corner

00:43:03here's Landry he's going to go

00:43:05to his right side Ray Jarvis and

00:43:08notice Detroit Lindsay they're

00:43:09throwing everything very quick

00:43:11or getting the ball off a little

00:43:12hook pattern on the right side

00:43:13Jarvis as Thomas Henderson and

00:43:16Benny Barnes second down at six

00:43:19and a half yards to go.

00:43:21J.D. Hill comes forward to the

00:43:22left side Bill King and a lone

00:43:25set Landry angling out and

00:43:32throwing in complete the J.D.

00:43:34Hill that's the problem one of

00:43:42the big problems for the Detroit

00:43:44Lions is the fact that they lost

00:43:45two of their fine offensive

00:43:46lineman Mark Markovitch and

00:43:48injuries Jim Yarbrough and Russ

00:43:50Bollinger have nursed injuries

00:43:52and so it's been a little thin

00:43:53on the offensive line for the

00:43:54Detroit Lions got to play with

00:43:56those little hurts Cincinnati

00:43:59the Bengals or they haven't had

00:44:01too good a year so far.

00:44:03Ten to nothing over Houston

00:44:04third quarter they're down at

00:44:07six yards to go for the Lions

00:44:09and the double wing set King

00:44:18not only a yard before it was

00:44:19pushed back making it fourth and

00:44:21five eighty two tall Jones led

00:44:23the charge defensively for

00:44:24Dallas and the punting unit

00:44:26comes on for the Lions Wilbur

00:44:31Summers is going to do the

00:44:32punting and Butch Johnson has

00:44:33dropped back to receive it for

00:44:34the Lions and the Cowboys

00:44:39Cowboys of course are the only

00:44:41undefeated team in the National

00:44:42Football Conference one six and

00:44:45they have lost not now a time

00:44:50I'd call for the Detroit Lions

00:44:52they take a time out I don't

00:44:55think they have enough people I

00:44:56think you're one short I think

00:44:57you're right Reggie Pinkney

00:44:59comes in costly time out some

00:45:02time out I've seen so many times

00:45:06where a team's driving two

00:45:07minutes to go in the first half

00:45:09and they could use that extra

00:45:10time out that's the case where

00:45:12there is no penalty by having

00:45:13too few but you run a pretty

00:45:14good risk getting a kick block

00:45:16so they call the time out you

00:45:17know if anybody did that this

00:45:18was the this is kind of mistake

00:45:20that Lombardi would get so hot

00:45:21about you know these little

00:45:23mental mistakes the guy's

00:45:24supposed to be on the special

00:45:25teams and he's not out there

00:45:27have to take that extra time out

00:45:28boy he would get so peeved at

00:45:30this and I'm sure the coaches

00:45:32didn't tell you it was being

00:45:33done oh not at all just tear you

00:45:36apart for about 20 minutes in a

00:45:37meeting on Tuesday summers puts

00:45:39it up but Johnson at the 14 yard

00:45:43line up to the 20 25 and he goes

00:45:47out about 40 yard but return to

00:45:49the 30 yard line so now Cowboys

00:45:52will take over first and 10 they

00:45:54have the ball at their own 30

00:45:55yard line they're leading six

00:45:56nothing in the second quarter

00:45:58the bell system recognizes that

00:46:03many seemingly unrelated

00:46:05business problems are really

00:46:07communications problems in

00:46:08disguise so we provided our

00:47:31Starbuck brings him up.

00:47:32He's got Tony Dorsett and Robert

00:47:33Newhouse as the setback wide

00:47:34receivers left and right.

00:47:36Here's a quick pitch to door set

00:47:40bumped out of bounds by James

00:47:42Hunter cornerback on that side

00:47:56You didn't like living in New

00:47:57Orleans did you.

00:47:57Not much.

00:47:59I'll tell you I lived there a

00:48:00year and a half brought him out

00:48:01of town with a block and tackle

00:48:03to get him out.

00:48:03Get me out of town I'll tell you

00:48:05second down 11 yards to go.

00:48:07I just put it on.

00:48:08That's not a bad spot either.

00:48:10Dallas.

00:48:10Oh big deal.

00:48:11You've been here a week.

00:48:11I would imagine second and 11

00:48:16Cowboys in the slot right.

00:48:17I got it and complete the door

00:48:19set through the way he was

00:48:22covered third and eleven at the

00:48:24twenty nine Dallas Cowboys on

00:48:32two field goals by a friend

00:48:34Herrera leading by a score of

00:48:35six.

00:48:36I think we have eleven minutes

00:48:37thirty six seconds left to play

00:48:39in the first half.

00:48:41Golden Richards coming in with

00:48:43the play.

00:48:44He's got a good shot.

00:48:45He's got a good shot.

00:48:46He's got a good shot.

00:48:47He's got a good shot.

00:48:48He's got a good shot.

00:48:49Coming in with the play they

00:48:50alternate the plays in for Roger

00:48:53Stolbach has a little light

00:48:55misting rain falling here at

00:48:57Irving Texas.

00:48:59Weatherman said 40 percent he

00:49:00came home a winner third down

00:49:03play from the shotgun Roger

00:49:04Stolbach got the football at the

00:49:12forty yard line.

00:49:13Now what about the first down.

00:49:15I watched our set coming out of

00:49:16the backfield.

00:49:17It's actually a double wing

00:49:18slot out of the shotgun.

00:49:20Here he comes he's going to work

00:49:21on the linebacker and Roger

00:49:23Stolbach actually makes a good

00:49:24pass here if he would have

00:49:25letting Lindsey he would have

00:49:27kept leading it would have been

00:49:28incomplete.

00:49:30Good catch by Dorsett and it's a

00:49:32little bit short little short

00:49:35and the punter has come in Texas

00:49:37Stadium in Irving Texas.

00:49:41A lot crowd and the misting rain

00:49:43and the double wing to the

00:49:46aperture on the roof.

00:49:48Danny White's back to do the

00:49:49planning and he played in the

00:49:50Dictator on a deep catch signal

00:49:53by Geron and the Yale graduate

00:49:56makes the catch at the 26 yard

00:49:58line.

00:50:00Let's get something happening

00:50:01now.

00:50:02Thirty three yard punt by white

00:50:04first and then for the Detroit

00:50:06Lions they brought down in spite

00:50:09of the amount of market near the

00:50:10twenty seven yard line to call

00:50:12it there at twenty seven.

00:50:15I control this television

00:51:00Should have bought mobile one

00:51:01and the temperature hits five

00:51:03You're cool.

00:51:07Should have bought mobile one

00:51:08and you only change it every

00:51:09fifteen thousand miles.

00:51:11Mobile one the oil that does it

00:51:13all.

00:51:13Take it from an expert.

00:51:18The Detroit Lions have the ball

00:51:19first and ten at their own 27.

00:51:21We have 10 minutes forty two

00:51:22seconds left to play in the

00:51:23first half.

00:51:24Dallas is leading six nothing

00:51:26next to us.

00:51:26He is in there along with King

00:51:27to setbacks in this alignment.

00:51:29Greg Landry the quarterback

00:51:31and he has the ball.

00:51:33J.D.

00:51:39To the 18 yard line.

00:51:41It'll be a first attempt at the

00:51:4218 yard line.

00:51:43Mark Washington picked it up.

00:51:46And he tried to go to a little

00:51:47hook pattern to J.D.

00:51:48Hill it was overthrown.

00:51:51And watch Mark Washington as a

00:51:53second interception of the

00:51:54year play action right here.

00:51:56He's got the time to throw the

00:51:57football just a little bit off.

00:51:59You can see he'll was covered

00:52:01and Mark Washington playing the

00:52:03deep zone comes up with the

00:52:04second interception gets it back

00:52:06inside the 19.

00:52:09Dallas Cowboys first in 10.

00:52:10They're leading by a score of 6

00:52:12nothing and the crowd is alive

00:52:13here at Texas Stadium.

00:52:16Or is that the tailback.

00:52:19Or is that.

00:52:21To the 17 yard line.

00:52:23About two on the play will make

00:52:24it second out on eight.

00:52:25Kim Sanders made the stop.

00:52:27Defense for Detroit better be in

00:52:29shape.

00:52:30Looks like they're playing

00:52:31three quarters of the game so

00:52:32far.

00:52:35But Johnson's coming into the

00:52:36ballgame Jay solid he's coming

00:52:38into the ballgame for the

00:52:38Dallas Cowboys.

00:52:41Joe Pearson is going up.

00:52:43So they're running a double

00:52:44tight end alignment here.

00:52:46Billy Joe Dupree stays in the

00:52:47ballgame.

00:52:48Johnson is a wide receiver to

00:52:50the left side.

00:52:51Newhouse and Doris set of the

00:52:52setbacks.

00:52:53Newhouse moves over.

00:52:58Newhouse.

00:53:02Just inside the 15.

00:53:05Doug English up ended it.

00:53:08And.

00:53:09He's.

00:53:09Going to.

00:53:10Be.

00:53:10The.

00:53:10Third down about five.

00:53:17Newhouse now has 34 yards and

00:53:19seven carries.

00:53:24An extra linebacker and now for

00:53:25Detroit.

00:53:26Harvest comes out.

00:53:28Laszlovic comes in.

00:53:30Laszlovic coming in at O'Neill

00:53:31the starting middle linebacker

00:53:33these days for the Detroit

00:53:34Lions.

00:53:35Dyson move back even up a new

00:53:37out.

00:53:38With.

00:53:39The.

00:53:41Let's.

00:53:42Stop.

00:53:50At his first touchdown of the

00:53:51year the big tie in Lindsay.

00:53:53I said when.

00:53:54And when.

00:53:56The Dallas offense picked up the

00:53:57blitz beautifully you got man to

00:53:59man in your secondary.

00:54:01And he had all day to throw it

00:54:02he found his man wide open.

00:54:05And at Dallas fans are happy.

00:54:08Now a friend Herrera to attempt a conversion. Last week he missed one.

00:54:13It was the first missed after 82 consecutive conversions. Charlie Waters holds for him.

00:54:20Herrera's point is good. And the score is the Dallas Cowboys 13, the Detroit Lions nothing.

00:54:32Let's take a look at that touchdown play. Now watch the blitz. Here comes the blitz.

00:54:36Beautifully. He picked it up great. I think that was Rafferty.

00:54:40And here goes Dupre in for the touchdown. Unopposed.

00:54:47I tell you, you can't. Lindsey, you cannot. The offense for Detroit's been the problem. They have

00:54:54just put too much pressure on that defense and something's going to break. You give this offense

00:54:58that many opportunities, good field position, they'll score 40 on you.

00:55:01Now last week against San Francisco, the Detroit Lions used three quarterbacks. They used Greg

00:55:09Landry, Joe Reed, and Gary Danielson. Danielson is not eligible today. He was one of the designated

00:55:14players off the roster for today's game. But the Detroit Lions have been unable to move the

00:55:19offense appreciably. And we might see Joe Reed jump into this ballgame. Well, that defense for

00:55:24Dallas has played well. That interception by Washington was their 14th interception

00:55:29of the year. They only had 16 all of last year. And it's because of the pass rush, Lindsey.

00:55:35A friend, Herrera, kicking off.

00:55:40Rick Cain moves over. Cain at the 7. He's at the 10 to the 15. Rick Cain to the 20, 25.

00:55:47Rick Cain, pull down at the 28-yard line by Vinnie Barnes.

00:55:53Next Saturday, a big day on CBS Championship Saturday,

00:55:56the Serious Championship of Women's Tennis. Four big money, big players. Chris Everett,

00:56:00Virginia Wade, Billie Jean King, and the rest from Mission Hills. And on a special CBS Sports

00:56:05Spectacular World Middleweight Boxing Championship. Valdez against Briscoe. Of course, Carlos Monzon

00:56:11retired. They're going for his title. And of course, the big horse race is Washington, D.C.

00:56:16International. Oh, that's a good one. Mile and a half on the grass. One of the great turf races

00:56:20in America. The world's strongest men, all next Saturday on CBS. Joe Reed is the quarterback. Joe

00:56:27Reed angles out sets and throws for Detroit, incomplete to J.D. Hill. He was open. Bad pass

00:56:33is a good route on the right side by J.D. Hill. He was open, had the linebacker beaten.

00:56:39Of course, he may be a little bit rusty, too. This is his first appearance today.

00:56:45Reed on the year, 4 out of 17 for only 55 yards. He's had one interception.

00:56:50So he hadn't played too much. 6'1", 195 pounder, a six-year veteran from Mississippi State, Joe Reed.

00:56:56Ball is just short of the 29-yard line where it's second down and 10 yards to go for the Lions.

00:57:02And you know, we did a couple of line games early, and they were really moving the ball

00:57:06offensively. It looks like they've gone into the shell last couple of weeks. Part of the problem,

00:57:11they say, is that offensive line. Reed now. Pull down. It was Bill Gregory, number 77. But Ed

00:57:19Too Tall Jones was there first, forcing Reed up into the pocket. Oh, that sack pack, there's something.

00:57:26Harvey Martin's got 10 sacks on the year already. That will make it third down and 12 yards to go.

00:57:35Lions have not beaten the Cowboys in regular season games since 1960. They haven't played

00:57:39each other really very often. They have not been regularly scheduled. Six times, five and one.

00:57:44Now here they come. Here's what Jim Yarborough, now he's playing with a slight shoulder injury,

00:57:49he's got to go against Harvey Martin, head up on a third and one. See if they come with the draw.

00:57:57King and Bussey, the setback. Blitz. Reed angled out. It's batted at the line, a scrimmage incomplete.

00:58:08Now this is what they put in today, where they said they were going to do a few rollouts today

00:58:12because of that pass rush. At least it cuts it halfway down. Here's Reed on the rollout left,

00:58:17trying to go on a square out pattern to J.D. Hill, and a good pass deflection. He really got up in

00:58:22the air. Who is that? I think it's Too Tall Jones. Now Too Tall's on the outside. Might be Randy White

00:58:29there, deflecting it. That's who it was. Wilbur Summers is in to do the punting.

00:58:36Butch Johnson is back to receive the punt.

00:58:43Johnson at the 38, to the 40, 45, and he stopped at the 48-yard line.

00:58:5135-yard punt.

00:58:56NFL Regionals on CBS next Sunday. Dallas and the Giants, New Orleans and Philadelphia,

00:59:00San Francisco and Atlanta. Chicago is at Houston, and Lindsay and I will be at Kansas City for the

00:59:05Packers. And a doubleheader game, St. Louis and Minnesota, Tampa Bay and the Los Angeles Rams,

00:59:12all next Sunday on CBS. First down and 10 yards to go for the Dallas Cowboys. They

00:59:17held the ball at their own 48-yard line. Dorsett and Newhouse on the setbacks.

00:59:26Newhouse to the 48-yard line. Dana Fork and Sanders Herb Orvis.

00:59:32He dives over that line of scrimmage a lot, of course on this turf.

00:59:36The Cowboys in control.

00:59:47Staubach's got the ball. Joe Pearson, head to plate.

00:59:55There's that, there's that bootleg and what Peterson does the best. He comes across and

00:59:59Roger waits for him to clear the zone. Now he's coming back in motion. He'll cut up field. Now

01:00:04watch him come across all the way. Now he's clearing land backers right now and Roger tries

01:00:09to find the hole. It was right there. Incomplete. It'll be third down coming up now for the Dallas

01:00:15Cowboys. They're leading by a score of 13-0. Laidlaw has come in there now and Newhouse has

01:00:25gone out. Dorsett's the other running back. Now they have Laidlaw behind Staubach in the shotgun.

01:00:37Staubach got the direct snap.

01:00:42Barney made a move on Dupree. No call. And I think it was interference. He got there a little

01:00:49bit early. Lamb Barney, of course, the big gambler. He's been the big playback on defense

01:00:53for so many years for Detroit. On fourth down, the punting enters in for the Dallas Cowboys.

01:01:02He could have thrown the flag on that one. Judgment call. That's the toughest call,

01:01:06I think, for the referee. Danny White is back to do the punting and Eddie Payton

01:01:10is in a single safety to receive it for the Detroit Lions.

01:01:19They're rushing 10.

01:01:23White boomed it out. Fair catch signal goes up. He lets it go.

01:01:26Now, can it be down there? Yes, it can. Inside the five-yard line near the two.

01:01:37Already six-yard punt. A beauty by Danny White.

01:01:41Every family has its differences, but wait until you watch the battling

01:01:44Boninos in action in tonight's edition of On Our Own right after road up.

01:01:48Detroit's got a battle on their hands right now to come from behind. 13. They haven't moved the

01:01:53ball at all. And the defense smells a little something here. They love to play defense when

01:02:00you've got a team backed up inside your own five-yard line. First and 10 at the three-yard line.

01:02:09Reed is the quarterback. Horace King, the lone sideback in this alignment.

01:02:19King moved out past the seven. Cliff Harris made the stop.

01:02:30Third period score. New England was trailing early in that ballgame. Has come back 24 to 10 over the

01:02:35Jets. Grogan's thrown a few touchdown passes in that one. Steve Grogan, their fine quarterback.

01:02:44The ball has moved up past the eight-yard line.

01:02:47Second down play coming. Reed still quarterbacking the Detroit Lions.

01:02:51Oh, they need a first down here.

01:02:59King. He's got, he's very close to the first down as he made that last lunge.

01:03:05Let's see where their market might be. A little bit short.

01:03:07Running and Harris made the stop. Third down and a little short.

01:03:18Less than a yard to go. That'll bring in Bill Larson, second year man from Colorado. Another

01:03:25tight end for blocking purposes. As the fans here would love to see him stop at the third and short.

01:03:33Bussey and King are the setbacks. Bussey, first and ten, a penalty marker from the headlinesman.

01:03:45Yeah, they got the first down easily over the right sidelines.

01:03:49Offsides against the Dallas Cowboys. That'll give

01:03:54the Detroit Lions a first and ten. Give them an extra five too.

01:04:03Offside defense number 41. That is the first first down of the afternoon for the Detroit Lions.

01:04:13And you won't see that too much. Earlier in the show we said these safety men will

01:04:16come up and stick you. Charlie Waters and Cliff Harris. Waters was offsides.

01:04:20King, the lone setback.

01:04:33Moves up to the 20-yard line.

01:04:38Harvey Martin was into the backfield so quick. Now watch this. We've got a good ISO for you.

01:04:44Well, Harvey Martin wasn't even touched.

01:04:47And Horace King does a nice job in salvaging that play for a two-yard gain.

01:04:54Five minutes, 23 seconds remaining to be played in the first half with the Cowboys leading 13-0.

01:04:59Center John Morris turning to say something to his quarterback. Reed angles out.

01:05:10Good pitch at the 35.

01:05:13A good catch on the right. Ray Jarvis, Lindsey. Oh, what a nice catch that was. He was sliding.

01:05:23See if we can pick it up on the right side. Roll out. And here is the offensive strategy,

01:05:28I think, today for Detroit. They're going to roll out. Try to get away from that rush.

01:05:32There goes Jones down. Now watch this catch by Jarvis.

01:05:35Yeah, he had it on the numbers. He dropped it. They ruled it complete. First to 10, Detroit.

01:05:41At their own 35-yard line.

01:05:45Complete pass.

01:05:55Still for a loss. Mike Eggman. Jethro Pugh was there.

01:06:05Jethro Pugh was really there. He was the first one to trip him up.

01:06:11How about this? 10-10. Tied up in the second quarter. Rams against the Saints.

01:06:19Second down 11 yards to go.

01:06:22Well, if the Saints could beat the Rams, you wouldn't think that would give Atlanta a little

01:06:26jubilation. And the Western Division of the NFC tied up four and two apiece.

01:06:36Blitz. Reed.

01:06:43He was really popped as he released the football. I tell you, Dallas is blitzing.

01:06:50Not known too much as strictly a blitz team because of their great front four,

01:06:54but they really put the blitz on this afternoon. Reed had no chance. Thomas Henderson, number 56.

01:07:02Somebody missed him on the right side. Now watch. Watch all the linebackers come here.

01:07:07There's Thomas Henderson. He comes up the middle. He gets rid of John Morris' center,

01:07:12and he'll come into your view right here. Oh, and Reed pays for it.

01:07:18Third down and 11 yards to go for the Lions. 344 left in the first half.

01:07:23Blitz again. Reed. Incomplete. Penalty marker thrown by the referee.

01:07:39Boy, they're causing Detroit's quarterbacks to really release the football

01:07:42in a hurry. Holding against the Detroit Lions.

01:07:45I don't think they've only made one first down here. Two. Two in the whole first half.

01:07:58That is declined so that fourth down comes up. Offensive holding number 81. Refused. Fourth down.

01:08:06David Hill holding. It has been declined so that fourth down comes around in the punting units,

01:08:10and with Wilbur Summers to do the booting. Butch Johnson is back to receive the punt

01:08:14for the Dallas Cowboys. Goes out of bounds immediately at the 34-yard line.

01:08:3041-yard punt next Saturday. Championship Saturday on CBS. The series championship

01:08:34of women's tennis. Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Virginia Wade, Martina Navratilova,

01:08:40Betty Stove all going for the big money. And the World Middleweight Boxing Championship

01:08:44on a special CBS Sports Spectacular. Valdez against Briscoe. And the horse racing Washington

01:08:51D.C. International. That's on a turf at a mile and a half. One of the great turf races in America.

01:08:56The world's strongest men coming right up. CBS Sports Spectacular. November the 5th,

01:09:014 o'clock Eastern. First down and 10 yards to go for the Dallas Cowboys.

01:09:07Drew Pearson in motion to the inside. Tony Dorsett carried the ball to the 37-yard line.

01:09:14Ed O'Neill, middle linebacker, made the tackle for Dallas, or rather for Detroit.

01:09:28Paul, you were mentioning next Saturday. And the many events that will be seen on CBS. And

01:09:33the world's strongest man, the fifth event of the decathlon, the tire toss. Now you take the tire,

01:09:37you see, off your favorite car, and you toss it like a discus. Oh, you're kidding.

01:09:44It's got to be 400 pounds to lift it. Tony Dorsett carried.

01:09:51Well, as he crossed the 40, he hit the deck and got up to about the 42-yard line.

01:09:57They haven't had anybody this quick in the backfield here in Dallas.

01:10:01And Dorsett almost broke that. They haven't had anybody that quick in the backfield many places.

01:10:06That's true. It'll be third down and three yards to go for the Cowboys.

01:10:15And the Saints hanging right in there.

01:10:19Blanchard. Tom Blanchard threw a three-yard pass. He's their punter. Don't ask me to explain that.

01:10:2788.

01:10:31Starbuck. Drew Pearson incomplete.

01:10:37Punting unit comes on now for the Dallas Cowboys.

01:10:40Oh, I think he heard the footsteps that time of number 50, Paul Newmoth. Should have had it.

01:10:50Danny White is in to do the punting. And Eddie Payton is driving back to field it for

01:10:53the Detroit Lions. That's Payton, brother of Walter Payton. National Football Conference's

01:11:01leading rusher for the Chicago Bears, of course. Boy, would Detroit love to

01:11:06have this Payton turn into any kind of a similarity to Walter.

01:11:11Long, high, spiraling punt. There'll be no run back. It'll be marked up out of bounds.

01:11:16First and 10 for the Detroit Lions. And it's going to be marked at the 30-yard line.

01:11:23Cowboys, 13, Lions, nothing. Two-minute warning.

01:11:53Five! Five on the 50-yard line! Hey, Charlie, it was cold last night. You put in a Prestone

01:12:07antifreeze? Prestone, Prestone. Who needs Prestone? Prestone, Prestone? You need Prestone.

01:12:16If your antifreeze is worn out or you don't have enough, you could be in trouble. So put

01:12:20in a fresh fill of Prestone, too, to prevent corrosion and freeze-ups. Prestone, Prestone.

01:12:25We need Prestone. Prestone, Prestone. You need Prestone. A light misting rain is falling here,

01:12:34so there are some who have umbrellas and some who have programs on their heads and otherwise.

01:12:40And we agree with that, CBS, along with the Cowboys.

01:12:45First and 10 for the Detroit Lions at their own 30-yard line. Horace King at the setback here,

01:12:51and Joe Reed's the quarterback. Reed back to set it up. Intercepted at the 43-yard line.

01:13:05It is Mike Hegman with the football, and Hegman has an interception. That was really in a crowd.

01:13:10Boy, I'm telling you, if you talk about double coverage, they had him triple-covered Reed

01:13:14threw it right into a crowd. Just a four-man rush here. Watch Harvey Martin get rid of the tackle.

01:13:20Reed gets rid of it on target, but the guy, was he covered or not, Lindsay?

01:13:24They're all around. That's his first interception of the year.

01:13:29I'll tell you, that's 15 interceptions for the Cowboy defense.

01:13:33So now the Cowboys have it first and 10 at the Lions 42. The Cowboys are leading 13-0. They have

01:13:38a minute 53 seconds left in the half. Laid low in Dorsett are the running backs for Roger Straubach.

01:13:46Straubach has the ball. Dorsett dives across the 40 to the 39-yard line in a three-yard second and seven.

01:13:56Officially, Dorsett has carried the ball seven times today for zero yards. He lost a couple,

01:14:02so now he's back with six carries for minus three yards. Now he's seven carries for zero yards.

01:14:12He could change that in a hurry with one little break. Only takes a moment.

01:14:18Shotgun. Straubach for the direct snap. Laid low, move back even with it. Oh, a little procedure.

01:14:26Some folks starting somewhere. Ralph Neely on the left side, the left tackle.

01:14:33Down to the Dallas Cowboys, they five-yarded.

01:14:39I think Detroit will be glad to get home. Of course, they haven't won on the road.

01:14:42In fact, out of the last 10 games, they've lost nine of them on the road.

01:14:47Ball start, offense number 64. They call it on 64. Ralph Neely moved also. That's Tom Rafferty,

01:14:55the right guard, to move. Second down and 12. It's funny how teams love that home cooking,

01:15:02isn't it? They're great football teams. We'll win on the road.

01:15:09Shotgun again. Dorsett is evened up with Straubach.

01:15:17Straubach.

01:15:25Drew Pearson. Drew Pearson with his version of a statue of motion that's along the sideline,

01:15:32afraid to move those feet. I want to tell you, this is a picture catch.

01:15:38And we've got him on the ISO for you. Watch him. Now, he's going to clear the back here.

01:15:41It's double coverage. And watch how he just leans. He knows exactly where he is.

01:15:4725-yard pickup. Absolutely beautiful. Drew Pearson doing what he does best.

01:15:55All pro in every respect. First down and 10 yards to go. And they have it at the Detroit

01:16:0119-yard line. We have one minute, eight seconds left to play in the half. That was already,

01:16:05wasn't it? Really was. Straubach. Played low and complete. The hit made by Hunter. And a good hit.

01:16:17Make it. Make it second and 10 at the 19.

01:16:24There are a few Heisman Trophy winners mixing and mingling out there. Roger Straubach won the

01:16:28Heisman and Dorsett won the Heisman. We got one in the booth, as a matter of fact. Our Mr. Horning

01:16:33won the Heisman. Second down and 10 yards to go. Who's going to win it this year, Lance?

01:16:40That's a good question. It could be my candidate. There's a lineman.

01:16:43My candidate is Ken McAfee at Notre Dame. Oh, he's a great one. Dead cinch number one draft

01:16:49choice. Only two non-backs have ever won it. And you got Earl Campbell here at Texas. Terry

01:16:53Miller at Oklahoma State. Straubach. Dropping back. Look at that. Goes back across and it's a

01:17:01catch. And Laidlaw has it. And Laidlaw's at the 10. Five. Touchdown. Laidlaw for a touchdown.

01:17:09He made a good catch. He picked it right off the ground. Roll out right. Sleeper left.

01:17:18A little razzle-dazzle, as Dallas can only do it. Here comes Straubach. Way around to the

01:17:24right side. And Detroit defense forgot all about back against the green. Here's Laidlaw. Now watch

01:17:31the blocks he picks up. That's Ralph Neely out in front. John Fitzgerald right there. And Laidlaw

01:17:37just pulls his way in the last three. A front Herrera to attempt a conversion with Shirley

01:17:42Waters holding. Herrera boots. And it's good. And so the Dallas Cowboys have taken a 20-0 lead

01:17:52over the Detroit Lions with 53 seconds. We made it to be played in the first half

01:17:56here at Texas Stadium. And if the Cowboys maintain the lead and win the ball game,

01:18:00they'll have the finest start they have ever had since the franchise was formed.

01:18:07You know, everyone knows that science can split the atom. But tomorrow, Jessica falls

01:18:16into the clutches of a society that can split human beings into two creatures, one good and

01:18:21the other evil. Which one triumphs? Watch Logan's run tomorrow night at 8, 7 Central Time on CBS.

01:18:27This happens to be on Halloween, right? This happens to be on Halloween. You know,

01:18:31if you're crazy about statistics, Lindsey, we could go on and on about Dallas this year.

01:18:36Six and 0 start, the best start in the NFL. Tom Landry, his record is the best record in the past

01:18:42decade. 118 wins, only 40 losses and two ties. Dallas this year leads the NFC in offense. They

01:18:50lead in defense. They've got the number one passer in stallback. They've got the number two receiver

01:18:54in Drew Pearson. Got the number one in the interceptions in Cliff Harris. They've got

01:18:58the best kicker. What else could you want? Well, I think the Cowboys are the product of a very

01:19:02thoroughgoing, excellent organization. They have consistently been able to produce a competitive

01:19:08football team. Herrera kicks off. Rick Kane moves over for the Detroit Lions. He's got it at the

01:19:13seven-yard line. Rick Kane to the 10, to the 15, to the 20, 25, finds a little daylight.

01:19:22It's covered by Detroit. Detroit gets the ball.

01:19:25Woodcock on the football, so it's going to be first and 10 for the Detroit Lions at their own 28.

01:19:31It's Rick Kane. Now, he's running very good. He hits that hole. He doesn't slow up a bit. He's

01:19:37doing his job, just didn't hold on to the football. He's tackled. The ball goes free.

01:19:41And watch 77, Mr. John Woodcock with the very important fumble recovery there, because

01:19:47with 45 seconds left to go, stallback had enough time.

01:19:51Joe Reed is still the quarterback. Horace King is the lone setback in the Detroit alignment.

01:19:57Lots of contact, made all over. Let's see if that offensive tackle moves.

01:20:01Ed Too Tall Jones was in the backfield before the snap.

01:20:11Offsides against the Dallas Cowboys.

01:20:21Makes it first and five at the 33, with 42 seconds left to play.

01:20:32Offside defense, number 79.

01:20:3579, Harvey Martin. Ed Too Tall Jones was offside too.

01:20:40They got the numbers mixed up on that one.

01:20:45Well, either Dallas defense just been superior today. Depends on the way you look at it.

01:20:50Offense for Detroit has been miserable.

01:20:56Reed.

01:21:05As he went down and rolled away, Dallas got it. Randy White caused it, Lindsey,

01:21:09and he got the football back. First and ten at the 30-yard line.

01:21:14That's watch number 54, Randy White. Now, here he comes on the inside. Reed runs out to the left.

01:21:22There's Randy White. Grabs his right arm, the football goes free, and watch White fight for it.

01:21:27He's got it. Randy White wearing number 54, a jersey number that's worn by a fellow named Chuck

01:21:33Howley, here with the Dallas Cowboys, and worn exceptionally well for a number of seasons.

01:21:37And he'll be inducted into Dallas' ring of honor here at halftime.

01:21:4333 seconds left in the half, as Staubach moves back into the shotgun, and Dorsett evens up with him.

01:21:51Staubach.

01:21:55Dorsett. 20, 18, 17. First and ten at the 17-yard line.

01:22:0217. First and ten at the 17-yard line. 13-yard pickup to Tony Dorsett.

01:22:10Timeout for Dallas to stop the clock. 24 seconds left.

01:22:15I'd like to point out something. Now, watch Dorsett. Now, here's where his great ability

01:22:19comes into hand. You're going to see this. It's just a little delay outside. Now, watch him turn

01:22:23it on when Neumoff comes up. Watch this little move here. Right there, and he's going right by

01:22:28the linebacker for the first down. That is acceleration. Staubach now, 10 out of 18.

01:22:35126 yards, one TD. Roger Staubach, Tom Landry, the only head coach that the Dallas Cowboys have

01:22:42ever had. He's out of Mission, Texas. Played football at the University of Texas. Played and coached for

01:22:48the New York Giants. Invented the 4-3 defense. He's invented the offense to try to beat the 4-3 defense.

01:22:56He's invented the flex defense, and there's not too many things he doesn't know about football.

01:23:03This is the kind of game they like. You know, they're sitting on a 20-0 lead. They're loose.

01:23:08They're 6-0 on the year. They're headed for the playoffs, no question about that.

01:23:12They want it all. They want it all.

01:23:20Landry's got his foul leather gear on today. He

01:23:22grabbed the stats, and they said 40% chance of rain, and he came prepared.

01:23:27First and 10 at the 17. Staubach. Touchdown to Pearson. Drew Pearson for the touchdown.

01:23:38And he goes through with his famous little spike. Drew Pearson for his second touchdown of the day.

01:23:45Penalty marker. Penalty marker. Holding against the Dallas Cowboys at Nullifying.

01:23:50This will be called back. What a beautiful post pattern right on the numbers.

01:23:5542 was Reggie Pickney, the rookie out of East Carolina. He beat him.

01:23:59It is off and on. A holding penalty against the Dallas Cowboys. Nullifies it.

01:24:05Chuck Heberling, the referee, steps it up. A ten-yarder.

01:24:10Holding. Offense. Number 64. Tom Rafferty, again.

01:24:23Rafferty, they're high on him. He's a second-year man from Penn State.

01:24:26Last week, Lindsey, we watched Rafferty pulling, and I was very impressed by the way he pulls.

01:24:31Good blocker. He's got good speed. It's going to be a good one.

01:24:34It's going to be a good one. First and 20 at the 27.

01:24:38Stavak looks for a screen left to door set.

01:24:4516 and out of bounds. Out of bounds at the 13-yard line. There he is. There it is.

01:24:54The breakaway ability, and he got out of bounds very smartly. Picked up 14 yards.

01:24:59Here it comes. Watch him go out. Just a safety valve on the left side. It's a screen.

01:25:04Now, when he cuts back, he turns it on. Right there. He just left Ed O'Neill looking at him.

01:25:10There's Hunter. He pushes him out of bounds and stopping the clock.

01:25:15Stops the clock with 10 seconds left.

01:25:19Second down and six yards to go for the Cowboys at the Detroit 13-yard line.

01:25:2413-yard line. Cowboys are leading by a score of 20 to nothing,

01:25:28and trying to get another one on the scoreboard before the halftime intermission. Stavak.

01:25:38Incomplete. Butch Johnson took a long look as he tied in Billy Joe Dupree, but he didn't clear in

01:25:44the end zone, so he simply got it over there in the direction of Johnson. Good play by Herb

01:25:48Orvis that time, rushing the pass. We're going to have a field goal attempt.

01:25:56So, Efren Herrera comes in to attempt the field goal with five seconds on the clock. On third down,

01:26:04Charlie Waters will hold at the 20, making it a 30-yard attempt for Efren Herrera.

01:26:11He's had two already today. The 30-yarder is up, and now he has three.

01:26:16So, the Dallas Cowboys are leading by a score of 23 to nothing, and we have three seconds

01:26:24remaining to be played. 23 to nothing, and three seconds remaining to be played in the first half.

01:26:31Oh, those couple of turnovers, Lance. They put 10 points on the board because of it.

01:26:37Two interceptions. Bumble recovery by Randy White. This team's too good to make those kind

01:26:45of mistakes again. As you're aware, these Dallas Cowboys like to wear those white jerseys, and

01:26:50that's why they're wearing them here today with the Detroit Lions wearing their blues that they

01:26:55normally wear at home on the road here because Detroit Lions like to wear those blues. There's

01:27:00a little differentiation between the two. Dallas has royal blue, metallic blue, and white.

01:27:08Detroit calls theirs Honolulu blue and silver. Herrera from UCLA will do the kicking off.

01:27:19Rick Cain is center deep to receive it for the Detroit Lions. The last two minutes now,

01:27:25the clock doesn't start until the ball is touched by a member of the receiving team

01:27:28in the field of play. It starts now. Picked up at the 15-yard line. Thompson is carrying.

01:27:38Leonard Thompson is stopped at the 30, and time is rung out.

01:27:42So the gun goes off, and the Dallas Cowboys go off the field for the halftime intermission,

01:27:49leading the Lions by a score of 23 to nothing, and it's been just sort of that kind of a half.

01:27:54The Detroit Lions a little bit frustrated, taking their time as they head for their locker room.

01:28:02Dallas Cowboys have already cleared sprinting to the locker room. Cowboys 23. The Detroit

01:28:07Lions nothing at the end of the first half before a sellout crowd here at Texas Stadium.

01:28:13Well, Lindsey, not much of a contest. Completely all Dallas. They have just completely manhandled

01:28:19Detroit, both offensively and defensively, controlling the football actually in the first

01:28:24quarter for over 11 minutes, making the mistakes against this good team. You've got to repeat it,

01:28:28and you just cannot. Dallas is just too good. They're young, and they play like they're very,

01:28:35very experienced. Again, at the end of the half, Dallas 23, Detroit nothing.

01:28:42Play like they're very, very experienced. Again, at the end of the half, Dallas 23, Detroit nothing.
