00:00:00We're at Metropolitan Stadium in

00:00:07Bloomington Minnesota and welcome to

00:00:09season number 58.

00:00:11I'm Pat Summerall with John

00:00:12Brookshire.

00:00:13I can't think of a better place to

00:00:15start it than the Cowboys against

00:00:16the Vikings.

00:00:16Can you Tom sort of a playoff

00:00:18game whether it's the first one

00:00:19or the last one with these two

00:00:19teams.

00:00:20You know you look at these two

00:00:22ball clubs Minnesota and Dallas

00:00:23and they're young.

00:00:25They have rebuilt but yet while

00:00:26they're rebuilding they've

00:00:27managed to stay on top.

00:00:28Well in the all stats quarterback

00:00:30Fran talking does not play well

00:00:31against Dallas.

00:00:32I think he's five and nine

00:00:33lifetime.

00:00:34But listen Seaman Blair and

00:00:36McNeil are good linebackers with

00:00:37speed.

00:00:38Dallas is going to have to

00:00:39figure that out.

00:00:40They go to the three man front

00:00:41once in a while to what do you

00:00:42know of the situation of last

00:00:43year's Heisman Trophy winner

00:00:45Tony Dorsett in Dallas.

00:00:46I think Preston Pearson on the

00:00:47experience factor will start and

00:00:48then we'll see Tony Dorsett very

00:00:50quickly.

00:00:50He could break out in a rash as

00:00:52they say.

00:00:53All right let's get to the

00:00:54action and see what's going on

00:00:55down there.

00:00:55I can't wait.

00:00:57It's hot here today too.

00:00:58It's the warmest of course we've

00:00:59ever been up in Bloomington

00:01:00Patrick.

00:01:01The humidity is higher than the

00:01:02temperature in fact it is 72

00:01:04degrees with 74 percent humidity

00:01:09the ball teed up at the thirty

00:01:10five the Cowboys will kick it

00:01:12off and it'll be a friend

00:01:13Herrera Brent McClanahan is the

00:01:16deep man for the Vikings and he

00:01:19will feel it at the one

00:01:20McClanahan behind the way to the

00:01:23right side and good outside

00:01:26short of a 20 yard line.

00:01:29McClanahan on the return.

00:01:31The game officials today.

00:01:34Referee is Pat Haggerty.

00:01:36The umpire is Al Conway the

00:01:38headlinesman Walt Peters the

00:01:40line judge Bob Beaks the back

00:01:41judge Jim Poole and the field

00:01:43judge Bob Lewis.

00:01:45They tried seven officials on

00:01:47occasion during the preseason but

00:01:49during the regular season it's

00:01:51the regular six first down

00:01:55Minnesota at their 19 the

00:01:57very familiar number 10.

00:01:58Frank Harkin for McClanahan the

00:02:01running back and will go on

00:02:03first down Kyle might be shaken

00:02:10up on the play and if anything

00:02:12it looked like there might have

00:02:13been a little bit offensive

00:02:14interference but the receiver

00:02:16and Kyle are both on the ground

00:02:17first play of the game.

00:02:19Well you saw number 43 who was

00:02:22also involved in that collision

00:02:23that is Cliff Harris and you

00:02:24expect somebody to stay down

00:02:26there.

00:02:26Fran had a lot of time to throw

00:02:28because the first play it was

00:02:29sort of aggressive blocking on

00:02:30the line of scrimmage and again

00:02:32on the very first play we have

00:02:34two football players down there

00:02:37trying to get the air back the

00:02:39receiver I believe Tom is Ahmad

00:02:41Rashad Aaron Kyle is back up he

00:02:44is starting in place of Mel

00:02:46Renfro and there's Ahmad Rashad

00:02:50Cliff Harris walked away from

00:02:51the explosion point just like he

00:02:53always does he got out of there

00:02:54just before the crash.

00:02:56Or else he caused the crash I'm

00:02:58not sure.

00:02:59Very important again very

00:03:01important that both backs came

00:03:02out actually one back did stay

00:03:04in the plan ahead and block but

00:03:05Tarkington might try to beat the

00:03:07big Dallas rush by putting of

00:03:09course Chuck Foreman out into

00:03:10the patterns very early.

00:03:11This was for Ahmad Rashad and

00:03:14look like Dallas is waiting for

00:03:15that as much as Rashad was.

00:03:16Well it was Cliff Harris who

00:03:18fell on top of his teammate

00:03:19Aaron Kyle who now appears to be

00:03:21OK but Rashad is still down.

00:03:26And he's going to have to get

00:03:27back to the plate while we're

00:03:29waiting and while they're

00:03:30administering to him here is the

00:03:31offensive line for the Vikings

00:03:34got big Riley at left tackle

00:03:35Goodrum at left guard Tingle

00:03:37Hoff who's been at center

00:03:38forever up here Hamilton is now

00:03:41in for Eddie White and I guess

00:03:42Eddie White will no longer

00:03:43become a Viking at least he's

00:03:44not starting this season with

00:03:45him and of course the all pro

00:03:47big run the area the 10 year

00:03:48veteran a right tackle the

00:03:49receivers were Rashad Sammy

00:03:51White the second year man now

00:03:53did so well as a rookie and

00:03:55he's going to have to get back

00:03:56to the plate for him when they

00:03:57need to.

00:04:00McClanahan and of course Chuck

00:04:02Foreman one of the great all

00:04:04purpose football players play

00:04:05this game in my opinion.

00:04:07Second down for the Vikings

00:04:08talking to him.

00:04:10Gibbs to Foreman who cuts back

00:04:12or tries to the inside Bob

00:04:13Bruning was the first man who

00:04:15got there.

00:04:17And I remember saying at the end

00:04:18of the year last year that it's

00:04:19not going to be right watching

00:04:20the Cowboys without seeing

00:04:22Leroy Jordan in the middle but

00:04:23Bob Bruning has taken over and

00:04:24done a good job.

00:04:25He's been a great man and he's

00:04:26been a great man and all the

00:04:27linebackers in training camp but

00:04:29you're right Leroy's gone the

00:04:30defense by the way is Ed Jones

00:04:32Jeff Rowe Pew Randy White the

00:04:35rhinoceros out of Maryland and

00:04:37Harvey Martin that's the down

00:04:38four.

00:04:39It's going to be third and

00:04:40eighth.

00:04:42Last play for Minnesota got two

00:04:44yards.

00:04:45Here goes talking to him again.

00:04:50At the 40 is Chuck Foreman.

00:04:53Stopped by Thomas Henderson

00:04:55and he is slow getting up.

00:04:58Watch how quickly number 44 gets

00:05:00into it he's down to two hundred

00:05:01and six pounds this year and he

00:05:03actually juked Henderson out of

00:05:04the way.

00:05:05Good pass blocking as we've said

00:05:07anybody that can catch 218

00:05:09passes in four seasons is almost

00:05:11impossible to stop Randy Hughes

00:05:14along with Henderson made the

00:05:15tackle but what a juke Foreman

00:05:19put on Henderson and Foreman

00:05:21might be hurt or is hurt.

00:05:23No question about it as you look

00:05:24at that.

00:05:25If you lose a shot and Foreman

00:05:26the first two or three plays of

00:05:28your game.

00:05:29But Grant's going to be grayer

00:05:31than you are possible.

00:05:35We're not laughing at the

00:05:36injury.

00:05:37It's just a foreman is such an

00:05:38incredible athlete.

00:05:39Somehow you always believe he'll

00:05:40get up two hundred and nineteen

00:05:44pass receptions in four years.

00:05:47He is the second leading all

00:05:49time pass receiver for

00:05:51Minnesota.

00:05:51He's accomplished that in just

00:05:53four years.

00:05:54Bill Brown is number one.

00:05:58Sammy Johnson has taken

00:06:00Foreman's place.

00:06:02Vikings are deep in running

00:06:03backs on first down Minnesota at

00:06:05their own 40.

00:06:07Brands going to throw it a lot

00:06:08today.

00:06:10Like you might have to say to

00:06:12hit Johnson on a misdirection

00:06:14play.

00:06:16At the 40 at the 35 by Cliff

00:06:19Harris.

00:06:19They took advantage of Randy

00:06:21White.

00:06:22Randy White number 54 now what's

00:06:24to the right of your screen.

00:06:25They'll let 54 through and just

00:06:27let him run himself out of the

00:06:28play.

00:06:30It looked like it might have

00:06:30been what they call sort of a

00:06:31false action play against him

00:06:33but the main thing is that Sammy

00:06:34Johnson breaks out clear and

00:06:36it's Cliff Harris that had to

00:06:37make another tackle.

00:06:38He had to make too many tackles

00:06:39I'm told in preseason.

00:06:42Just inside the thirty five

00:06:44another Minnesota first down.

00:06:46And he's got a good shot.

00:06:47He's got a good shot.

00:06:48He's got a Minnesota first down.

00:06:59I don't want it.

00:07:01Especially when I see Bob

00:07:02Bruni coming at me.

00:07:03You know that was a mistake.

00:07:05Yes.

00:07:07Fran is very nifty and he hasn't

00:07:09played 17 seasons.

00:07:11Keeping the ball on option.

00:07:12That looked like something out

00:07:14of Don Perot or Bud Wilkins

00:07:15notebook except there was

00:07:16nobody to option to.

00:07:17And he's got a good shot which

00:07:19is a pretty hard way to run an

00:07:20option.

00:07:23It is second and 10 at the

00:07:24Dallas 34.

00:07:26Sammy Johnson and McClanahan

00:07:28still running back.

00:07:34Francis.

00:07:36Du Bois.

00:07:38Stopped again by Cliff Harris.

00:07:40Boy good room is doing a great

00:07:42job blocking Randy White to he

00:07:43standing right up to the right

00:07:45of your screen you'll see the

00:07:46blocking pattern watch tingle

00:07:47and I'm telling you Fran is a

00:07:48quick drop back man.

00:07:50And again he's not trying to

00:07:51throw it a ton.

00:07:52He's just going to get it over

00:07:54one area and in between the next

00:07:57area Harris in pretty good shape

00:07:58but boy to all he seems to be in

00:08:00his own shadow doesn't look like

00:08:02Randy White might have gotten a

00:08:03piece of the ball but not enough

00:08:04to knock it offline.

00:08:06Foreman is back in for the

00:08:07Vikings.

00:08:11Here's going to go a lot of

00:08:12poor Sammy White.

00:08:15Knocked down.

00:08:16White had a hand on it.

00:08:18Harris and Kyle back with him.

00:08:20Tell you Sammy White almost went

00:08:22up over the top and palm that

00:08:23for a touchdown and don't think

00:08:25that the line where the grass

00:08:26ends in the end zone is the end

00:08:28zone line there's some gravel

00:08:29down there this is a baseball

00:08:31park and it's sort of the

00:08:32warning track but that's playable

00:08:34where they come down and watch

00:08:35what Sammy White almost did with

00:08:37it and then Kyle comes and

00:08:39scrapes it off into the fence

00:08:40that's a pretty dangerous area

00:08:41to catch a ball and I'll tell

00:08:42you that is gravel down there.

00:08:46And.

00:08:47Word on a moderate shot is that

00:08:48he just got his bell rung.

00:08:50That means he got hit hard in

00:08:51the head.

00:08:53He'll be back.

00:08:55Back.

00:08:56Back across the field.

00:09:08Fifty six touchdowns.

00:09:10Fifty six touchdowns in fifty

00:09:12five games.

00:09:13Watch him fake the foreman.

00:09:15Foreman went through the line

00:09:16died a little bit for a count or

00:09:18two and the weak side linebacker

00:09:20and I'm not going to try to put

00:09:21responsibility should have been

00:09:22willing and they're waiting for

00:09:23him now watch this from the same

00:09:24angle as the play unfolds and

00:09:26you'll see how open 44 is and he

00:09:29was the first man they fake to

00:09:31Harris has no chance.

00:09:33Foreman looks like he's all

00:09:34right.

00:09:35I'll say.

00:09:37Eighty one yards a play.

00:09:39Nineteen yard touchdown pass to

00:09:41Chuck Foreman an extra point by

00:09:44Fred Cox and Minnesota making it

00:09:46look easy.

00:09:47Breaks on top they lead the

00:09:49Cowboys 7 to nothing.

00:09:59Minnesota Vikings taking the

00:10:02opening kickoff which wasn't too

00:10:03impressive but after they got

00:10:05past that point everything else

00:10:06looked pretty good.

00:10:08Cowboys haven't had the football

00:10:09yet and it's seven zip when your

00:10:11offense has been waiting to get

00:10:12their hands on it you can become

00:10:13very nervous in your first

00:10:14offensive series especially when

00:10:17really as you think about the

00:10:18Cowboys their defense is supposed

00:10:20to be the strongest point.

00:10:22Larry Brinson is one of the

00:10:24running backs back deep for the

00:10:26Cowboys along with Butch Johnson

00:10:2986 and 36 and Fred Cox who's

00:10:34been kicking off as long as Mick

00:10:36Tingle off has been here will

00:10:38kick off from Minnesota.

00:10:41We figured out that when Fred

00:10:42Cox was going to Pittsburgh as a

00:10:44running back that Tony Dorsett

00:10:46was four or five years old.

00:10:58Fred Cox who just kicked the

00:11:00extra point to make it Minnesota

00:11:017 Dallas nothing will kick off

00:11:04now for the Viking Tony Dorsett

00:11:08on the Dallas sideline.

00:11:10He will not start on his first

00:11:11offensive series at the nine is

00:11:14Butch Johnson.

00:11:15I beg your pardon.

00:11:16Larry Brinson he's out to the

00:11:18twenty four CBS Sports

00:11:27Spectacular the Trenton 150 next

00:11:29Saturday at 430 p.m.

00:11:31Eastern Time.

00:11:35Snaver and all of his friends

00:11:38will be involved in the Trenton

00:11:39150 Dallas offensive unit which

00:11:45has Roger Starbucks the

00:11:47quarterback running back to

00:11:50Preston Pearson and Robert

00:11:51Newhouse.

00:11:55Here comes Golden Richards in

00:11:56motion.

00:11:59He was lined up right behind

00:12:00Starbucks.

00:12:01Have you know why Landry

00:12:02originally had the lineman reset

00:12:05and stand up and said again I

00:12:06was told that it was the cover

00:12:08up spacing of the backs behind

00:12:10the offensive line sort of to

00:12:12give you a little bit too much

00:12:13to see and you couldn't quite see

00:12:14over and looks like this time

00:12:17they cost themselves five yards

00:12:18with an illegal shift ball start

00:12:23number 89 offense number 89 on

00:12:26the offense of course is Billy

00:12:28Joe Dupree that'll be first and

00:12:3015 Dallas their own 19 yard line

00:12:34Roger Starbucks the quarterback

00:12:36that is a little tough.

00:12:38Golden Richards again is lined

00:12:40up in the backfield and here he

00:12:41comes out.

00:12:50Reports on the great defensive

00:12:52tackle Alan Page number 88.

00:12:53Now watch him make this play that

00:12:56he only came and played on

00:12:57weekends because he's busy

00:12:59getting that law degree.

00:13:00He was down about 228 or 226

00:13:03even when he came into camp.

00:13:04But if anything he's quicker

00:13:06watch Newhouse number 44 get it

00:13:08and page has really gone over

00:13:10Neely's block that's on the line

00:13:13of scrimmage to age was actually

00:13:15knocked down and got up and made

00:13:17that play second down and 14

00:13:20yards ahead of Pearson.

00:13:23He got some room Preston Pearson

00:13:26outside the 40 for Dallas first

00:13:28down to the 43 stopped by Paul

00:13:33Krause big Doug Sutherland to

00:13:34the right center of your screen

00:13:36coming from the Minnesota side.

00:13:37Let's see what they do to him.

00:13:39They just kick him out.

00:13:40Newhouse leads through the hole

00:13:41this was a draw lead they call

00:13:43it and this is the reason

00:13:43Preston Pearson starts important

00:13:45games.

00:13:47He knows when to turn it on and

00:13:48when to sort of deaccelerate

00:13:50heck of a block by Rafferty on

00:13:52Doug Sutherland first and 10

00:13:58Dallas ball at their own 42

00:14:01free and most of the past.

00:14:04I think it was adequate to slip

00:14:06that out of his hand.

00:14:08But he still made the catch for

00:14:09no game.

00:14:13Jeff Wright hitting just about

00:14:14the way you want to get a

00:14:15receiver early in the game.

00:14:17You're not thinking I am T on

00:14:18this because if you take an

00:14:19angle like this Roger can reload

00:14:21it.

00:14:21What's the pressure by

00:14:22Sutherland have to be picked up

00:14:24by Preston Pearson.

00:14:25Ball is thrown decently and

00:14:27caught.

00:14:28Just happens that Jeff Wright is

00:14:29there and that is the number one

00:14:31second there against the past.

00:14:32At least it was last year in

00:14:33this conference.

00:14:35People keep saying you can beat

00:14:36them but you can't.

00:14:38I don't know.

00:14:40Second and eleven at the forty

00:14:42one.

00:14:44Minnesota seven Dallas nothing.

00:14:47Here's the pitch to the house.

00:14:56Defensively Blair Seaman and

00:14:57McNeil are three very quick

00:14:59linebackers for Minnesota and

00:15:01the Dallas coaching staff

00:15:03remarked in the old days they

00:15:05were sort of big pillars out

00:15:07there on the corners for

00:15:08Minnesota but they now have

00:15:09great speed at the wings and

00:15:11that helps that defensive line a

00:15:12heck of a lot.

00:15:13New house is out.

00:15:16And Jay Salby is in.

00:15:19Drew Pearson split wide to the

00:15:21left.

00:15:22And so is Dupree.

00:15:25Shotgun on third and a Starbucks

00:15:27drop.

00:15:29Started a throw didn't.

00:15:33Does not have first down and

00:15:34what a shot he took.

00:15:37Jeff Seaman and Bobby Bryant

00:15:39almost took him in half.

00:15:41And even worse.

00:15:42Roger did not get the first

00:15:44down.

00:15:45Let's take a look at the first

00:15:46shotgun of regular season play.

00:15:48Drew Pearson was going to be the

00:15:50receiver but he fell down.

00:15:51Now Roger makes a pretty good

00:15:52run.

00:15:53Watch Bryant low and see but

00:15:54high.

00:15:57Hello there.

00:15:58Fourth down.

00:16:00One thing that will tell you.

00:16:02Is that Roger Starbuck is in

00:16:03great shape.

00:16:05He would not have survived that

00:16:06shot.

00:16:07Bob Graham is deep for

00:16:08Minnesota.

00:16:10And Danny White is the Dallas

00:16:12kicker.

00:16:12It'll be grim.

00:16:17And Graham.

00:16:19Is in a grim situation.

00:16:21Back at his own 10 yard line or

00:16:22thereabouts.

00:16:24It is Minnesota 7.

00:16:26Dallas nothing.

00:16:27We have eight minutes and 13

00:16:29seconds remaining.

00:16:31In period number one a

00:16:32touchdown pass from Tarkenton to

00:16:35Foreman got the Vikings breaking

00:16:37on top.

00:16:45Both teams were able to generate

00:16:47a little offense in their first

00:16:49two offensive series that was a

00:16:5036 yard punt by Danny White.

00:16:53Not one that he caught like he

00:16:54really liked to.

00:16:55Bob Graham had the Cowboys

00:16:57swarming all over him.

00:16:58I'll tell you coming up here to

00:17:00play I've I've sort of always.

00:17:02Poo pooed the idea that you've

00:17:04got to have a home field

00:17:05advantage but playing in

00:17:06Minnesota something else.

00:17:08The Vikings seem to feel like

00:17:09they're a better team up here.

00:17:11I don't know if that's possible

00:17:12when you're the NFC champions.

00:17:14They've been feeling good for a

00:17:15long time.

00:17:16Tom Landry probably not feeling

00:17:17so good right now.

00:17:19Jim Meyer standing alongside

00:17:20Roger Starbuck in the background.

00:17:25That's the same face though

00:17:26you win or lose or trail or be

00:17:28ahead by 20.

00:17:29It's pretty much the same guy

00:17:30to.

00:17:31All class.

00:17:45Minnesota has the football of

00:17:46their own 12 yard line.

00:17:48And you know Dallas is the

00:17:49toughest defensive team in the

00:17:51first period of football.

00:17:53Just about in the National

00:17:54Football League and yet the

00:17:55Vikings came right out took the

00:17:57ball and bam got seven points.

00:17:58Incredible.

00:18:00Clutch run by Sammy Johnson a

00:18:02touchdown pass from talking to

00:18:03the foreman and Francis is going

00:18:04to throw again and does Foreman

00:18:07can't hang on.

00:18:09Thomas Henderson was out with

00:18:11him.

00:18:14Final score is Atlanta 17 Los

00:18:18Angeles 6.

00:18:20And who would know more about

00:18:21the Rams than the new Atlanta

00:18:22coach coach Bennett.

00:18:23It must have been of course one

00:18:24of the great wins I think in

00:18:25Atlanta history and it really

00:18:27has to be.

00:18:28And the Rams got out on top on

00:18:29NamUs to TD pass early didn't

00:18:31they.

00:18:32And of course they're in the

00:18:32same division for at least right

00:18:36now the Atlanta Falcons are in

00:18:38first place.

00:18:41That was the final score 17 6

00:18:43Atlanta over Los Angeles

00:18:45Parkington going again Sammy

00:18:46White out of bounds at the 25

00:18:48first down Minnesota Aaron Kyle

00:18:51close to him.

00:18:52I'll tell you Fran talking it

00:18:53doesn't take your pocket with

00:18:55five playing close guys watching

00:18:57deep in his own territory.

00:18:59He goes right back sets up

00:19:00quickly and Kyle the second year

00:19:04cornerback who's going to be a

00:19:05great one slipped and fell down

00:19:07and you'll see Sammy White has a

00:19:08lot of room and you've got to

00:19:10give him a lot of room to

00:19:11another final score the Eagles

00:19:14start off on a positive note

00:19:15they beat Tampa Bay 13 to 3

00:19:17Vermeer is a dynamite young

00:19:19coach I'll tell you that.

00:19:21And.

00:19:21They.

00:19:23Still looking for his first NFL

00:19:24win in a regular season game.

00:19:28Henderson the stop on Foreman

00:19:29that last time.

00:19:31Here is another final score

00:19:33that's a bit of a shocker the

00:19:34Giants a giant stadium in the

00:19:36Meadowlands 20 to 17 over the

00:19:38Redskins and they did it late

00:19:40with of all things a field goal

00:19:42by Daniello with three seconds

00:19:44to go.

00:19:45What about this.

00:19:46That's also a final score.

00:19:48Many people think Cincinnati

00:19:49is going to be a Super Bowl

00:19:50caliber.

00:19:51Cleveland beat him 13 to 3.

00:19:54Second down for Minnesota and

00:19:56about six.

00:19:57Targeted giving again this time

00:20:00to McClanahan Harvey Martin and

00:20:06the rest of the Dallas front

00:20:07for Kansas City New England

00:20:09final Kansas City was on top but

00:20:1314 to nothing at one point the

00:20:15Patriots came back to win a 21

00:20:1617 New England never quits

00:20:19and I think says that team

00:20:20playing better in the fourth

00:20:21period than they do in the

00:20:22first.

00:20:22What have you heard about Miami

00:20:23Buffalo.

00:20:25Oh I didn't hear that.

00:20:26What did OJ Simpson do not show

00:20:28up.

00:20:28Maybe he's in some airport

00:20:29looking for a car.

00:20:30He didn't get to the end zone

00:20:34third and four and talking and

00:20:35drops again looking down the

00:20:37middle for Sammy White Randy

00:20:41Hughes back with him.

00:20:44Pass was thrown well he wasn't

00:20:47back where Sammy White ended up

00:20:49and again look over the middle

00:20:50for number forty four you'll see

00:20:52Foreman come across and then he

00:20:53unloads it and throws right

00:20:54over the top.

00:20:56You never do this against Dallas

00:20:57but Sammy White speed is so

00:20:59good he almost made the catch

00:21:01really on a throw that was

00:21:02beyond everybody.

00:21:04Neil Clabo is still the

00:21:08Minnesota punter Butch Johnson

00:21:10back by himself for the

00:21:12Cowboys and the Cowboys of

00:21:14course have blocked a few kicks

00:21:15and a little bit of time.

00:21:20Johnson will have a chance flag

00:21:25goes down back at about the 30

00:21:26yard line.

00:21:27Johnson got out to about the 38

00:21:30they couldn't set up a return

00:21:32six and a half minutes left to

00:21:34play in the first period it's

00:21:35Minnesota 7 Dallas nothing they

00:21:37called a clip on Randy Hughes

00:21:39who came back to help Butch get

00:21:41a pretty good start on it

00:21:42Hagerty makes the announcement

00:21:44and Dallas is going to have even

00:21:45more time to get back in it.

00:21:46Let's see what the officials

00:21:47have to say about this.

00:21:48The referee is Pat Hagerty and

00:21:51when they get through stepping

00:21:52it off we'll listen to his call

00:21:53he's a Denver fellow we ought to

00:21:54be able to understand him

00:21:55anyway.

00:21:56You should personal foul

00:22:03cutting 31 on the run back Benny

00:22:09Barnes is number 31 on whom the

00:22:12violation was called.

00:22:14He's going to start back on

00:22:16first and 10 with the Dallas

00:22:18offensive unit.

00:22:19Tell you who they are.

00:22:25I'll back back down and Alan

00:22:30paid parallel or also involved.

00:22:33Remember this is a natural grass

00:22:35field and they're still playing

00:22:36baseball in it and they've been

00:22:37playing soccer on it and it's

00:22:39not in great condition but I'll

00:22:41tell you the slip cost him that

00:22:42time because Donovan had a

00:22:43ball up front for him.

00:22:45Tom here's a fourth period score

00:22:46Green Bay 24 New Orleans 20

00:22:49Packers were on top at one time

00:22:5017 nothing in that game that

00:22:52star wishes he could suit up and

00:22:54play the last few minutes.

00:22:57I bet he does at the 17 second

00:23:0211 Pearson into the secondary

00:23:06outside the 25 to the 26 good

00:23:10blocks by Fitzgerald and Neely

00:23:12and Rafferty that time the whole

00:23:14left side of the line did a

00:23:15great job still not a first down

00:23:18though is it.

00:23:19No Baltimore and Seattle are

00:23:20playing that's a later start of

00:23:21course like this one and the

00:23:23Colts behind Burt Jones have

00:23:25taken a 7 nothing lead over Jim

00:23:27Zorn and Seattle to the

00:23:31situation now for Dallas.

00:23:34Jay Salty goes out Starbucks

00:23:36kneeling and calling the play.

00:23:42He's going to run again and

00:23:50once again he will not get the

00:23:51first down it is Carl Eller one

00:23:54of the many veterans on that

00:23:55Minnesota defensive line.

00:23:57Carl has only been playing 14

00:23:59years.

00:24:00The incredible thing is that I

00:24:01think his last three or four

00:24:02seasons have been Carl Ellis

00:24:03best.

00:24:04Watch this now.

00:24:05Roger still hasn't been able to

00:24:06get the aerial game going

00:24:08because the receivers are

00:24:09covered.

00:24:10He's running well look at this

00:24:1114 year veteran year after year

00:24:15they say that Eller and Marshall

00:24:16are too old to keep playing and

00:24:17year after year as you said Tom

00:24:19they keep getting better and

00:24:20better.

00:24:20And Carl Eller never alibied for

00:24:22getting blown out of a Super

00:24:23Bowl or anything.

00:24:24You know that better.

00:24:25Well none of them did really.

00:24:26Danny White Oh fine fun.

00:24:29Nice and high Bob Graham up with

00:24:30a hand for the fair catch.

00:24:33That was a very wise decision on

00:24:35behalf of Bob Graham because the

00:24:36Dallas coverage was right in his

00:24:38face.

00:24:38Dallas still seems a little

00:24:40conservative about the whole

00:24:41thing.

00:24:42They are not flat out open yet.

00:24:45We have four minutes and thirty

00:24:46nine seconds left to play in the

00:24:47first period.

00:24:49It's Minnesota 7.

00:24:50Dallas nothing.

00:24:56Of course we are doing our best

00:25:00to pay tribute to Preston

00:25:01Pearson because he's one heck of

00:25:02an athlete and has been for a

00:25:03long time.

00:25:05But Tom I'm frankly anxious to

00:25:06see Doris set.

00:25:08Well if Minnesota goes with a

00:25:10run which everybody is and the

00:25:11Vikings have promised to do

00:25:13that's the college defense that

00:25:14he ran against so well he will

00:25:16know where everybody is and I

00:25:17imagine Doris sets in we'll get

00:25:18his shot.

00:25:20There he is.

00:25:21Looks like Flip Wilson a little

00:25:22bit doesn't he.

00:25:23We were watching him in the

00:25:24warm up and he does have that

00:25:26that gliding stride that the

00:25:27great runners have.

00:25:29Mike did go alongside.

00:25:32Yeah there's Tony Doris and he

00:25:33has the most acceleration off a

00:25:35off a cut of any running back

00:25:38I've ever seen.

00:25:38And I can't I can't wait to see

00:25:41before me that Tony Doris set

00:25:571976 Heisman Trophy winner has

00:26:00not played as yet for the

00:26:01Cowboys.

00:26:02Looks like he wants to.

00:26:03He's up on his feet.

00:26:05Vikings on the offense.

00:26:06Randy White with that great

00:26:08quickness that he has takes down

00:26:10Chuck Foreman Randy White from

00:26:14Wilmington Delaware country in

00:26:15the University of Maryland and

00:26:17the people back there call him

00:26:18hunk and that's about it.

00:26:20He's about the strongest he's a

00:26:22hunk or he's the darndest thing

00:26:23that in a marvelous room he can

00:26:25almost level the darn thing.

00:26:27He is really something second

00:26:30and 12th situation now for

00:26:32Minnesota and Parkinson has been

00:26:33throwing on almost every other

00:26:35game so far and expected to do

00:26:37it again.

00:26:43Flag is down however outside

00:26:46Danny White tackle by Aaron Kyle

00:26:49but White was close to first

00:26:50down.

00:26:51Let's see about the violation

00:26:53notice how free safety Cliff

00:26:54Harris is going to stay on that

00:26:56weak side just to give Kyle the

00:26:58inside coverage that a safety

00:27:00man needs to support that

00:27:03cornerman.

00:27:04Good coverage here by Kyle that

00:27:05he's going to play even Sammy

00:27:07White a little closer knowing

00:27:08that Cliff is somewhere in the

00:27:10vicinity violation must be

00:27:15against Dallas because Tarkin is

00:27:18going over and see how close he

00:27:19is to a first down Michael's and

00:27:23Bud Grant.

00:27:25Of course we heard that he

00:27:26brought the blowers out here

00:27:27just to make the guys think it

00:27:28was a cold day.

00:27:31Did you play with him with Bud.

00:27:33No but he of course was it was a

00:27:36outstanding receiver with the

00:27:37Eagles I guess before you were

00:27:38there.

00:27:39He was one of the first holdouts

00:27:40that ran the candidate was one

00:27:41of the smarter early guys he

00:27:44replaced there is your

00:27:46measurement which is about well

00:27:49that much short at Hagerty as

00:27:53it by Fran Tarkin and of what

00:27:54the situation is and is doing so

00:27:56again just to make sure he's

00:28:00looking back at Bud Grant.

00:28:03It is third down and less than

00:28:05one but he said that of course

00:28:12Tarkin and runs his own own game

00:28:14calls his own plays that when he

00:28:16goes over to talk to Bud Grant

00:28:17during a timeout it's just a

00:28:18courtesy call because he's got

00:28:20his mind made up already

00:28:21anyway.

00:28:21I just have a feeling though he

00:28:22better make the right decisions

00:28:23which Fran is usually done.

00:28:25He's five for nine for 70 yards

00:28:27by the way against the Dallas

00:28:28defense and we still got a lot

00:28:30of time left in the first

00:28:30period.

00:28:31Almost all the records in the

00:28:32book are headed by his name

00:28:35forty two thousand yards.

00:28:37How far is that.

00:28:38That's about how many yards I

00:28:40was running under passes.

00:28:41That's a long way.

00:28:43Tell you something else though.

00:28:45He has been a leader wherever

00:28:46he's been.

00:28:47He calls his own play plays and

00:28:49runs his own offense talks to

00:28:51his own players not his own

00:28:52coach all the time but he's on

00:28:53play less than one.

00:28:56We'll get it.

00:29:01The tackler along with Cliff

00:29:02Harris and Charlie Waters.

00:29:06Have really had a chance to

00:29:07tell you who's playing defense

00:29:08for Dallas the tackles are

00:29:09Jethro Pugh and Randy White the

00:29:11end.

00:29:12Ed Jones and Harvey Martin the

00:29:14linebackers Tom or D.D. Lewis

00:29:16who is a familiar name for a

00:29:17long time of course Thomas

00:29:19Henderson.

00:29:20And the home plate.

00:29:21And the home plate.

00:29:22And the home plate.

00:29:23And the home plate.

00:29:24And the home plate.

00:29:24And it's Henderson.

00:29:26On the other side and Bob

00:29:27Brunek in the middle.

00:29:28Got many barns on the left

00:29:29corner Aaron Kyle on the right

00:29:31corner and two of the best

00:29:32safeties in the business.

00:29:33Charlie Waters and Cliff

00:29:34Harris.

00:29:36First down Minnesota with.

00:29:38First period.

00:29:39Talkative is going for the

00:29:40marbles.

00:29:42Henderson.

00:29:43You think he can't run.

00:29:45He's back with Chuck Foreman.

00:29:48Step for step.

00:29:49And I mean pull ahead of Foreman

00:29:50on the throat to.

00:29:52Chicago and Detroit.

00:29:54The Lions 30 the Lions 20.

00:29:58This division is going to be

00:29:59rather interesting after all

00:30:00isn't it.

00:30:00It surely is both of those teams

00:30:02improved as we mentioned to you

00:30:04a minute ago Green Bay is

00:30:08winning over New Orleans.

00:30:09Let's check the baseball

00:30:10situation to the Yankees 6

00:30:12Detroit 5.

00:30:14So they will maintain at least

00:30:15a two and a half game lead.

00:30:18Second and 10 situation for

00:30:20Minnesota.

00:30:21McClanahan the carrier.

00:30:24With trouble.

00:30:27Henderson the tackler boy.

00:30:29Harvey Martin just took Riley

00:30:31the tackle and stuck him right

00:30:32under the play.

00:30:34There's D.D. Lewis.

00:30:35By the way the Cowboys worked

00:30:36harder in this camp than at any

00:30:38time that Tom Landry has been

00:30:40there which is the entire

00:30:41existence of the franchise

00:30:42whereas the Vikings they showed

00:30:44up about six days before their

00:30:46first preseason game and sort of

00:30:48went laughing through the

00:30:49exhibition series.

00:30:50But France a pretty cool

00:30:51customer.

00:30:52Out go to linebackers and then

00:30:54come to extra defensive backs

00:30:56for Dallas.

00:30:57One is Mel Renfro.

00:30:59The other is Randy Hughes third

00:31:00and 10 situation.

00:31:04Targeted under the rush.

00:31:06Henderson with the

00:31:07interception I believe.

00:31:09He did catch it.

00:31:10He did catch it on his back.

00:31:12Thomas Henderson.

00:31:13I thought we were watching a

00:31:14baseball replay.

00:31:16Now watch Henderson he's the

00:31:17middle linebacker that's got

00:31:18nine five hundred speed.

00:31:20That's what he had when he was

00:31:20at college at Langston.

00:31:22Now watch him go across cut off

00:31:24and hit you'll see number 58 and

00:31:2744 run.

00:31:28Now watch him fall down.

00:31:29What's the ability of this one.

00:31:32That was it.

00:31:34Too tall Jones that put too much

00:31:37rush on Fran target and seven

00:31:39nothing Minnesota.

00:31:41Two minutes left in the first

00:31:42period there is a timeout on the

00:31:43field.

00:31:45You see that interception.

00:31:47It was an incredible play.

00:31:49I mean you can practice for a

00:31:50lot of things but on your back

00:31:52catching a football is not one

00:31:53of the things you go out and

00:31:54drill for.

00:31:56They say perhaps that the guy

00:31:58who made that interception

00:31:59Thomas Henderson.

00:32:01Is the best all round athlete on

00:32:03the Dallas squad.

00:32:04And he's the best all round

00:32:06athlete on the Dallas squad.

00:32:08And he's the best all round

00:32:09athlete on the Dallas squad.

00:32:11He can make a ukulele sound like

00:32:12a string guitar.

00:32:13And that's just you know he has

00:32:14that that extra something.

00:32:17And you really got to be an

00:32:18athlete to do that.

00:32:19He was out here about two and a

00:32:20half hours before the game

00:32:21started check at the darn infield

00:32:23running conditions.

00:32:25He was out here almost as early

00:32:26as we were in fact.

00:32:29The mosquitoes chased him back

00:32:30inside.

00:32:30We had to stay with him.

00:32:32I've shaved twice.

00:32:39I've shaved three times.

00:32:49The Cowboys.

00:32:51Well consecutive opening day

00:32:53win.

00:32:54Right now they're behind seven

00:32:55nothing to Minnesota.

00:32:57Garbock.

00:32:58Outside.

00:32:59Drew Pearson.

00:33:01First down.

00:33:02I believe.

00:33:03Big block was by Donovan the big

00:33:05right tackle that used to be a

00:33:06defensive lineman at Stanford he

00:33:08was a defensive lineman and

00:33:09Roger had complete.

00:33:11Area of vision he just saw his

00:33:14receiver through it easily no

00:33:15problem because Eller was

00:33:16stretched.

00:33:18It was a nine yard pickup not a

00:33:20first down as I said a minute

00:33:21ago it'll be second and one as

00:33:22Dallas moves into Minnesota

00:33:23territory.

00:33:25Second and one at the forty five.

00:33:31Newhouse and Pearson still the

00:33:33running backs and it's Robert

00:33:34Newhouse for the first down for

00:33:35the Cowboys.

00:33:38And.

00:33:38He's going to be the first down.

00:33:44What I like about Newhouse is

00:33:46running style other than the low

00:33:47center of gravity is that he

00:33:48always covers the ball up.

00:33:50He's not trying to go 60.

00:33:52Watch what he does.

00:33:52He'll keep both arms on it when

00:33:54possible.

00:33:55All he wants is that first down

00:33:56if he picks up three yards fine.

00:33:59Paul Krause hit him a good shot

00:34:01and others Blair included.

00:34:03But I'll take I'll take Newhouse

00:34:05on a day in day out basis.

00:34:06He's going to be the first down

00:34:07for the Cowboys today.

00:34:08You won't think he's very

00:34:09impressive but he'll come close

00:34:10to a thousand.

00:34:11Here's Pearson going inside the

00:34:13Minnesota 40 stopped by Jeff

00:34:14Seaman the middle linebacker.

00:34:17Dallas offensive line.

00:34:19Is John Fitzgerald at center

00:34:22Herbert Scott and Tom Rafferty

00:34:24the second year man from Penn

00:34:25State.

00:34:26Is the right guard Pat Donovan.

00:34:29Is the right tackle in place of

00:34:31Ray field right.

00:34:33And Ralph Neely is the other.

00:34:35I've got a fellow in there that

00:34:36they say is going to be one of

00:34:37the great young linemen in the

00:34:38game.

00:34:39Oh seven San Diego nothing.

00:34:41OK San Diego out of the James

00:34:43Harrison quarterback they're a

00:34:44dynamite young team right now.

00:34:46Second and a Dallas quarterback

00:34:50Roger Starbuck drops and throws

00:34:52outside or tried to do have

00:34:53knocked down by Jim Marshall

00:34:58which way Jim Marshall.

00:35:00There's another veteran that's

00:35:01been around a while.

00:35:02Eighteen seasons.

00:35:05He played one year with Cleveland

00:35:06and came over here.

00:35:08Van Brocklin coached him.

00:35:09He just he's been around

00:35:10Minneapolis longer than Bud

00:35:12Grant that's for sure.

00:35:14Watch this play.

00:35:15He's only late about 222 spikes

00:35:17that and Darnier makes the

00:35:18interception.

00:35:20Intended for new house but it'll

00:35:22be third down for the Cowboys and

00:35:23still a 34 second left first

00:35:26period.

00:35:28Big play right now for Dallas.

00:35:31And.

00:35:33Time to load up the gun.

00:35:35Starbuck dropped.

00:35:40And throws deep for Pearson he's

00:35:41open.

00:35:45He did not quite get the ball to

00:35:46Drew he had a step or two.

00:35:48Drew Pearson tried to draw the

00:35:50interference call.

00:35:52Watch from the shotgun.

00:35:53You think it's all big cigars

00:35:55and motorcars for quarterbacks.

00:35:56Watch this Roger throws it deep

00:35:58gets it off and page and he at

00:36:02the Apache stranglehold.

00:36:04Over the top of Neely there it

00:36:06is again.

00:36:07Now what's Drew Pearson try to

00:36:08back under the secondary man and

00:36:10get an interference call because

00:36:11he doesn't feel like the ball is

00:36:13going to make it which it

00:36:13doesn't.

00:36:15Tries to call it.

00:36:17Doesn't after a job in the end

00:36:18zone but the official just

00:36:19stared him in the eye.

00:36:21Danny White trying to get it out

00:36:23of bounds.

00:36:24It looks like it might be a fair

00:36:25effort.

00:36:30About the three.

00:36:31Take that but grant.

00:36:32Robert Miller put up his hand

00:36:34back there.

00:36:38Also a great country quarterback

00:36:40Danny White was going to play a

00:36:41lot of football not only punting

00:36:43the football he can throw it.

00:36:45He had a great preseason really

00:36:46when Roger was not a lead but

00:36:48just watching the team get into

00:36:50shape.

00:36:52CBS regional games of next week

00:36:54Atlanta Washington New Orleans

00:36:56at Detroit Chicago will be at

00:36:58St. Louis the Giants will be in

00:37:00Dallas for a visit.

00:37:03And Philadelphia will be at Los

00:37:04Angeles Minnesota plays Tampa

00:37:06Bay next Saturday night.

00:37:09Look out for number 10.

00:37:12No rhyme or reason with this

00:37:13guy's spot he likes to.

00:37:15Like to unload and there he goes.

00:37:20There goes the flag he threw it

00:37:22away.

00:37:25Well I'll lose it down but you

00:37:26can't lose the point and you

00:37:28can't lose many yards.

00:37:30He didn't lose his life either

00:37:31watch this.

00:37:33And I'm telling you the big guys

00:37:34come with the rush.

00:37:36Talking that in the end zone

00:37:38looking for a short batter he's

00:37:39trying to get boy checking out

00:37:41look here comes too tall.

00:37:42And there's Randy White.

00:37:44He didn't even know Fran got

00:37:44rid of the ball.

00:37:46He didn't even care.

00:37:52Let's see what back at Haggerty

00:37:53has intentionally grounding.

00:37:55Offense.

00:37:57Loss of down.

00:37:59And down.

00:38:03Some of the partisan fans are

00:38:04booing but that's just because

00:38:06it's so warm here in Minneapolis

00:38:07today.

00:38:08You know.

00:38:11All kidding aside that's a very

00:38:12intelligent play.

00:38:15Better than two which usually

00:38:16ends up to be nine.

00:38:17That's right.

00:38:19You lose it down but you.

00:38:21Keep that zero on the scoreboard.

00:38:25Back in an 11 he only lost a

00:38:26yard by that violation.

00:38:29I tried again.

00:38:33I tried again.

00:38:36Stu Voight.

00:38:40First down Minnesota.

00:38:45So he wastes the play.

00:38:46So what right.

00:38:47So Fran comes right back as Pat

00:38:49just told you that I think I'll

00:38:51do it again.

00:38:52This time he brings right back

00:38:53across the middle.

00:38:55Tremendous time to throw the

00:38:57football too much to give Fran.

00:38:59First down.

00:39:03Inside this new Firestone radial

00:39:05tire is an improved steel cord

00:39:07with five million miles of

00:39:09developmental testing where once

00:39:11we used five strands.

00:39:12We now use 10 strands of steel

00:39:15seven around two wrapped by one

00:39:18accord construction so important

00:39:21Firestone name the tire for it.

00:39:23Seven to one.

00:39:26The new steel belted radial 721

00:39:29now from Firestone.

00:39:32How do you like to ride along

00:39:34with the Budweiser Clydesdales.

00:39:36Well here we go.

00:39:39Here comes the king.

00:39:40Here comes the king.

00:39:41Here comes the big number one.

00:39:43Here comes the king.

00:39:44Budweiser beer the king is

00:39:46second to none.

00:39:48Budweiser beer.

00:39:49The king is coming.

00:39:51Let's hear the call.

00:39:53When you say Bud you've said it

00:39:55all.

00:39:56When you say Bud you've said it

00:39:57all.

00:39:58Thanks for the call.

00:39:59Budweiser beer the king is

00:40:00second to none.

00:40:01Budweiser beer.

00:40:02Thanks for the ride fellas.

00:40:05Sir we all know mobile one is the

00:40:07oil that saves you gas.

00:40:08Give me another good reason to

00:40:10buy it.

00:40:11Well it lasts and lasts.

00:40:16How long will mobile one last.

00:40:18We drove it 15000 miles without

00:40:21an oil change.

00:40:21And after all that found mobile

00:40:23one still protects as well as

00:40:25new ordinary oil.

00:40:27Lasts.

00:40:30Mobile one the oil that saves

00:40:32you gas saves you oil changes.

00:40:37Seems strange to me Tom to look

00:40:40at a Minnesota crowd that's not

00:40:41all breathing smoke and wrapped

00:40:43up in fur coat.

00:40:46Are singing Christmas songs.

00:40:47Yes.

00:40:48Chuck Foreman right straight up

00:40:50the middle stopped by Ed Jones.

00:40:55Riley is working with Harvey

00:40:57Martin the big left tackle 79

00:40:59now you are right behind the

00:41:00Dallas defense.

00:41:01In fact Waters the safety man's

00:41:02there watch Mark of course

00:41:04Riley is that a little double

00:41:07team little double team tackle

00:41:10in the tight end and now Martin

00:41:11moves in and makes the play.

00:41:14I'm wondering what happened to

00:41:15Randy White on that play.

00:41:16He never did get the call.

00:41:18It'll be second and to the ball

00:41:20this time.

00:41:22Robert Miller.

00:41:24Stop by Charlie Waters.

00:41:26People ran on the Dallas defense

00:41:27a little bit.

00:41:28Here's the misdirection play.

00:41:30You can no longer just worry

00:41:31about 44.

00:41:32This fella can run to.

00:41:34That is Robert Miller enough for

00:41:36a first down for the Vikings.

00:41:39Ball now out of their own 29

00:41:41yard line.

00:41:43Saw him blast out in that

00:41:44playoff game last year.

00:41:46I'll say.

00:41:47Remember.

00:41:47Right.

00:41:51Miller again and this time he

00:41:53was the guy who was on top of

00:41:54that.

00:41:56Jeff throw a few was probably

00:41:57under a Jeff throw by the way is

00:41:58healthier than he's been in

00:42:00probably the last six years.

00:42:02He is lean and he's got to 55

00:42:04again.

00:42:05And this team worked incredibly

00:42:06hard in the offseason on their

00:42:08own conditioning without anybody

00:42:10counting down over at the 30 at

00:42:12second and nine.

00:42:16And he's going to be able to

00:42:17make it to the end of the

00:42:17inning.

00:42:18He's going to be able to make it

00:42:19to the end of the inning.

00:42:19He's going to be able to make

00:42:20it to the end of the inning.

00:42:21He's going to be able to make

00:42:22it to the end of the inning.

00:42:22He's going to be able to make it

00:42:23to the end of the inning.

00:42:35Look like he might get more out

00:42:36of that than he did.

00:42:37Jeff throw few made a quick

00:42:38recovery.

00:42:42Wes Hamilton is in that.

00:42:44That wild spot at the Vikings

00:42:46have had the right guard

00:42:47position.

00:42:48Eddie White the all pro the 200

00:42:50and at least seventy five

00:42:51And it's probably retired from

00:42:53football and they put a Hamilton

00:42:54right in there don't they.

00:42:56For those of you who've been

00:42:57watching that game welcome to

00:42:59our broadcast of Minnesota

00:43:00Dallas.

00:43:01Chicago.

00:43:02That's the final score the

00:43:03victor 30 to 20 over the Detroit

00:43:05Lions.

00:43:06Here it is seven nothing.

00:43:08Minnesota leads a touchdown

00:43:10pass.

00:43:12Foreman.

00:43:14Bad exchange between Foreman and

00:43:17Tarkington and a worse exchange

00:43:19between Randy White and

00:43:20Tarkington.

00:43:21Fran wouldn't give it up but he

00:43:22had thoughts about it.

00:43:23Watch this.

00:43:24It's going to be a little old

00:43:26it's almost the old Statue of

00:43:27Liberty a bad handoff on the

00:43:29hip.

00:43:29Now Fran and Randy White get

00:43:30into this and this fight is

00:43:32over.

00:43:35Francis looks like a rag doll.

00:43:39Butch Johnson standing back at

00:43:40about.

00:43:42His own 30 and Neal play ball

00:43:44number 12 will punt for

00:43:45Minnesota.

00:43:48Almost got it.

00:43:49Play ball goes down with the

00:43:50act.

00:43:51Johnson takes the ball.

00:43:54No place to go for Butch

00:43:56Johnson but they were trying to

00:43:57block.

00:43:58What's the act.

00:43:59Play ball is a pretty good

00:44:00punter he's never going to kick

00:44:01like Ray Guy for the 42 yard

00:44:03average but he did kick seven of

00:44:05them inside the 20 during

00:44:07preseason.

00:44:07He gets this off.

00:44:10Does the Veronica.

00:44:11Nobody touched everybody was

00:44:13faking it.

00:44:14It is seven nothing Minnesota

00:44:15over Dallas.

00:44:20The Ford in your future is

00:44:21coming October 7th.

00:44:22The new Ford Fairmont a new car

00:44:25designed for today and the

00:44:27years ahead.

00:44:28Fairmont's combined city highway

00:44:30mileage rating is within two

00:44:31miles per gallon of a little VW

00:44:33rabbit yet Fairmont's interior

00:44:35is almost 90 percent as roomy as

00:44:37the Chevrolet Impala the new

00:44:38Ford Fairmont excellent

00:44:40roominess and style with

00:44:41mileage ratings close to a

00:44:43little economy car test drive

00:44:45Fairmont October 7th Fairmont

00:44:47Fairmont the newest better idea

00:44:49from Ford five five on the 50

00:45:03Preston Preston you need

00:45:06Preston.

00:45:07If your antifreeze is worn out

00:45:09or you don't have enough you

00:45:10could be in trouble.

00:45:11So put on a fresh fill of

00:45:12Preston to to prevent corrosion

00:45:14and freeze ups.

00:45:14Preston Preston we need

00:45:17Preston Preston Preston you

00:45:19need Preston.

00:45:24This is Pat Summerall with Tom

00:45:25Brookshire at Bloomington

00:45:27Stadium in Minnesota at

00:45:29Metropolitan Stadium in

00:45:30Bloomington Minnesota.

00:45:31I should say you were close

00:45:32though.

00:45:32Yeah.

00:45:34Dallas owns the football first

00:45:36and can at their own forty one

00:45:37twelve minutes left for a

00:45:38period.

00:45:39Starbucks is going to throw wide

00:45:42open his golden riches inside

00:45:44Minnesota territory to their 45

00:45:47at the Newhouse the running

00:45:48back Matt Blair the tackler.

00:45:52I got over and watch the good

00:45:53fake by the lineman for Dallas

00:45:55they pull like they were really

00:45:57on a mission to the left on a

00:45:58running play because of that

00:46:00everybody got tangled up

00:46:02including Sutherland inside and

00:46:04this was just a turn in by

00:46:05Golden Richards who couldn't

00:46:06believe he was that wide open

00:46:07now watch him decide get down

00:46:09and get down at the Minnesota

00:46:14Newhouse the running back.

00:46:23Carl Eller the man who destroyed

00:46:26the play.

00:46:28Watch Scott try to get out the

00:46:29left guard and he and Eller and

00:46:32unfortunately Preston Pearson

00:46:34get tangled up right here.

00:46:35Carl went right over the top.

00:46:38Eller is really one of the

00:46:39incredible people does dramatic

00:46:41readings when he's not just

00:46:42swatting people around on

00:46:44Sunday.

00:46:47Second and 12 yard line is the

00:46:52Minnesota 47 Vikings lead the

00:46:55game 7 nothing.

00:46:57Newhouse also flips a flag goes

00:47:00down a violation right in the

00:47:02middle thrown into the offensive

00:47:06line a scrimmage or on the

00:47:07offensive line a scrimmage which

00:47:08should mean some kind of a

00:47:10Dallas infraction.

00:47:13It is holding I believe that was

00:47:17the preliminary and indication

00:47:19from Pat Haggerty I think.

00:47:20I'm wondering if the two teams

00:47:21are wearing the same kind of

00:47:22shoes.

00:47:23I have a strange feeling on that

00:47:24real grass that the new modern

00:47:27little plastic slipper isn't

00:47:29quite as sure.

00:47:29We've seen several Dallas guys

00:47:31slip down it is from Hagerty

00:47:35holding number 64 offense Tom

00:47:41Rafferty the young Penn State

00:47:43guard in there was holding on

00:47:46this telecast is presented by

00:47:48authority of the National

00:47:48Football League it's intended

00:47:49for the private use of our

00:47:50audience any rebroadcast or

00:47:52other use of this telecast

00:47:54without the express written

00:47:55consent of the Minnesota Vikings

00:47:57and the National Football League

00:47:58is prohibitive.

00:48:01Second and 22 situation and

00:48:04Roger goes back to John Fitz

00:48:07Gerald the center.

00:48:09Viking jump Alan Page right in

00:48:11front of Fitz I knew Alan was

00:48:13quick he went that time when

00:48:16they set him on the line of

00:48:17scrimmage a violation is not

00:48:20against Alan Page however it's

00:48:22against Dallas I think Fitz

00:48:24Gerald must have twitched Fitz

00:48:27Gerald told me before the game

00:48:28he said you know I'm sort of a

00:48:29work animal he said block it

00:48:30Alan Page.

00:48:31I said yeah it's not our number

00:48:3462 offense it was John Fitz

00:48:38Gerald who committed the

00:48:41violation and as Tom said he

00:48:43must have twitched Alan Page on

00:48:46your nose you've got to just

00:48:47look up see where he is and that

00:48:52would make it with that's a

00:48:54blind snap you know on that

00:48:55shotgun.

00:48:56I think we're going to try it

00:49:00second and twenty seven

00:49:01situations one time Dallas was

00:49:04in Viking territory.

00:49:06From the shotgun is Roger

00:49:08Staubach looking for time and

00:49:09buying some employ Billy Joe

00:49:11Dupree at about the 42 yard line

00:49:15of Minnesota Jeff Seaman got him

00:49:16out of bounds.

00:49:18B.J. had a good year last year

00:49:20and had a great training camp

00:49:21this year.

00:49:22Remember now this Viking team

00:49:23had forty five sacks last year

00:49:25but they're not getting close to

00:49:26Roger on just the shotgun

00:49:28he had a lot of time throws on

00:49:30the run very well anyway and

00:49:32that's the tall target Vikings

00:49:34got to keep pressure on Mr.

00:49:35Staubach it is a third down

00:49:37situation now and seven yards to

00:49:39go with 10 minutes and twenty

00:49:40nine seconds left before the

00:49:41half ball at the Minnesota 40

00:49:43to shotgun time again.

00:49:53All that throws hot Pearson I

00:49:57believe the catcher.

00:49:58Yes.

00:50:00Does that does that look like

00:50:01the catch that he made against

00:50:02the Rams in that playoff game a

00:50:03couple of years ago.

00:50:04Gosh he made so many great ones

00:50:05in that game.

00:50:06Here it is.

00:50:06That's right.

00:50:07A little bit low and that's the

00:50:08blind snap from Fitzgerald who

00:50:10by the way is one of the very

00:50:11best at that.

00:50:12Notice the blocking up in front.

00:50:14Now Roger cuts it loose and

00:50:16watch Preston Pearson the only

00:50:19guy that came from another team

00:50:20that's on this Dallas team.

00:50:24Second and twenty seven

00:50:25situation the Cowboys got that

00:50:27first down at the Minnesota 30

00:50:309 50 left first period.

00:50:33Here's Pearson down to the 25

00:50:36Jeff Seaman the tackler but

00:50:39Pearson got about five.

00:50:43We still have not seen Tony

00:50:45Dorsett other than standing on

00:50:47the sideline.

00:50:48Pearson a new house started and

00:50:50they've been the setbacks

00:50:51throughout the entire first half

00:50:52so far for Dallas.

00:50:55New house a good blocker to have

00:50:56back there to there's Tony back

00:50:57there he's standing behind

00:50:58Salty he does look like Flip

00:51:02Wilson not when not when flips

00:51:04Geraldine but Roger star back

00:51:09with Pearson in motion brings

00:51:11the ball back to the other

00:51:12person who's down to about the

00:51:14twenty three before Alan Page

00:51:16again made the tackle looks like

00:51:19Dallas is trying to make that

00:51:21defensive line play on us

00:51:22they're running directly at them

00:51:24and they're getting a lot of

00:51:25speed now and not much finesse

00:51:28involved that of course is one

00:51:31way that you neutralize a guy

00:51:33like page you so quick put the

00:51:37heat right at him embarrass him

00:51:38a little bit they tend to stay

00:51:40home to 835 left on the clock

00:51:44before halftime and it's still

00:51:45Minnesota 7 Dallas nothing

00:51:4743 43 and that gravel part of

00:51:57the end zone boy that's a bad

00:51:59place to fall I'll tell you and

00:52:00I'm telling you that is real

00:52:02gravel and he laid out that full

00:52:04six foot five frame and he's a

00:52:06little slow getting up and I

00:52:07bet he's got abrasions the full

00:52:08length you know he does now

00:52:11we'll get our look at friend

00:52:13Herrera with Charlie Waters

00:52:16Herrera was very very erratic

00:52:19and warm up practice before the

00:52:20game in fact Dan Reeves Dallas

00:52:23coach was telling me he had

00:52:24never seen him as erratic as he

00:52:26was all of which is a pretty

00:52:30good endorsement for him to make

00:52:31this out of Charlie Waters hold

00:52:35it's good and Roger Roger

00:52:40Staubach had plenty of time on

00:52:41that pass play and I think he

00:52:43would like to reload and throw

00:52:44that one again Pat 7 3 down the

00:52:47Vikings over the Cowboys we're

00:52:50in Minnesota it's no joke when a

00:52:56meeting runs late and you've got

00:52:57to catch a plane and it hurts

00:53:00the superstar in winter car

00:53:02hadn't invented express check in

00:53:03you just might be waiting in line

00:53:05at some winter car counter while

00:53:06your plane is taking off it takes

00:53:09a superstar to come up with time

00:53:10saving ideas like express check

00:53:12in next trip you might need it

00:53:59of Judge Roy Bean tonight's movie

00:54:02at 9 8 central and mountain

00:54:08Herrera has the ball team and

00:54:10indicates that he is ready he

00:54:12just kicked that 40 yard field

00:54:13goal to make it Minnesota 7

00:54:16Dallas 3 Brent McClanahan as the

00:54:19guy in the middle of Minnesota

00:54:23and he's the guy that's going to

00:54:24handle it at the 2 to the 23 for

00:54:31those of you who've been

00:54:32watching Green Bay defeat New

00:54:33Orleans 24 to 20 welcome to

00:54:36Minnesota against Dallas in

00:54:38Bloomington score here is the

00:54:40Vikings 7 a touchdown pass from

00:54:43Tarkenton to Foreman Dallas 3 40

00:54:48yard field goal by Herrera

00:54:50number 10 by the way Fran

00:54:52Tarkenton at 6 for 13 for 91

00:54:54yards and it looks like he has

00:54:56it pumping today he looks very

00:54:58fresh it'll be a first down

00:54:59Minnesota at their own 24 Miller

00:55:04broke a few didn't he outside the

00:55:08thirty five to the thirty seven

00:55:10with Harris finally made sure he

00:55:11stayed down good play for

00:55:13Minnesota too they were always

00:55:14sort of east west oriented they

00:55:16couldn't laterally do much with

00:55:18you and now he throws back

00:55:19across the field it's just a

00:55:21hitch by thirty five Miller but

00:55:24look at the room it gives them

00:55:26to operate in Riley's down in

00:55:27front with good blocks I think

00:55:30he's got a good pitch he's got a

00:55:31good pitch I think the Vikings

00:55:34have added something to their

00:55:35offense this year it looks like

00:55:37it first down Tarkenton will

00:55:40throw again Foreman had it

00:55:43dropped looked up field too

00:55:45soon toughest play to defend in

00:55:48football because the tight end

00:55:49is working on Henderson the

00:55:51spread out makes everybody

00:55:53rotate to that side and

00:55:54Henderson's being screened by

00:55:56the tight end and there's the

00:55:58man he's supposed to cover this

00:56:00left to right Chuck Foreman

00:56:03number forty four is lighter

00:56:04this year than he has been at

00:56:05any time since he came to

00:56:06Minnesota maybe the balls

00:56:08heavier must be he's about two

00:56:10oh five or two oh six and when

00:56:13he first came up he was around

00:56:14two twenty what does he have

00:56:16moves a little bit quicker than

00:56:17he used to be which is sort of

00:56:19awesome the stats on Tarkenton

00:56:23the situation he faces for

00:56:29Tarkenton with Harris and he'll

00:56:35stay down he went down as a

00:56:37result of contact that was Benny

00:56:39Barnes on the coverage boy did

00:56:41Benny Barnes have the receiver

00:56:44covered this is a stretch out

00:56:45now and I'll tell you Frank can

00:56:47throw it don't believe the

00:56:48story that the arm won't go now

00:56:50watch it change you'll see the

00:56:53rest of the play from behind

00:56:54Fran and watch Barnes make the

00:56:57hair kidney always Hey now's the

00:57:11time to pick up plenty of

00:57:12schlitz because the schlitz

00:57:17football offer is here look for

00:57:19this display at participating

00:57:21stores and save up to five

00:57:22dollars on an official Wilson

00:57:53seat leg room than any imported

00:57:55or domestic car of its kind

00:57:56Fiesta Europe's most successful

00:57:58new car in history test drive one

00:58:01at your authorized Ford dealer

00:58:08seven nothing before a sellout

00:58:10group the Vikings lead Dallas

00:58:13seven three I beg your pardon

00:58:19Scott Laidlaw and Tony Dorsett

00:58:21are the running backs for the

00:58:22Cowboys and here is Dorsett's

00:58:24first carry in the NFL and it

00:58:27gets maybe a half yard Jim

00:58:31Marshall made the tackle and we

00:58:35keep remembering the time that

00:58:37Jim did pick up the bumble and

00:58:38go the wrong way but that was

00:58:40Dorsett's first active play but

00:58:43that won't be his last the one

00:58:44day he gets it turned on he's

00:58:46going to have 250 day against

00:58:48somebody the other setback is

00:58:51Scott Laidlaw Dorsett and

00:58:54Laidlaw ship draw play Laidlaw

00:59:04he might have got the couple

00:59:05Jeff Seaman and Fred McNeil made

00:59:07the tackle we have six and a

00:59:09half minutes left before

00:59:10halftime I sort of have a theory

00:59:13as to why Tony Dorsett was

00:59:14getting hurt in the preseason a

00:59:16lot it's just that he knew so

00:59:18well where the people that were

00:59:19going to make contact with him

00:59:20came from in college that

00:59:22improbable but from the shotgun

00:59:28he scrambled out you know who

00:59:30was chasing him don't you watch

00:59:32number 88 get in hot pursuit and

00:59:34Alan Page can run like a back

00:59:36probably as fast as Roger and

00:59:37Rogers quick look at 88 coming

00:59:39from behind Rogers glad that he

00:59:42got under Blair first and 10 for

00:59:47Dallas at their own 38 yard line

00:59:48five and a half minutes left

00:59:50first half 7 3 Minnesota fake the

00:59:59door set outside Laidlaw close to

01:00:03another Dallas first down stopped

01:00:05by Bobby Bryant little slick

01:00:08operation here and Laidlaw goes

01:00:11to the right area he's always in

01:00:12the right place and Dallas

01:00:15football has always been that way

01:00:17if you're told to go somewhere

01:00:18you've got to get there he's a

01:00:19very cute football player and

01:00:21extremely dependable Bryant does

01:00:24it out of bounds nine yard

01:00:26pickup is Bud Grant and Neil

01:00:29Armstrong look on Tom Landry and

01:00:31Jim Myers look on what a day for

01:00:36football up here I've never seen

01:00:38it like this very humid however

01:00:43Pearson comes back in motion

01:00:44Dorsett gets the call that might

01:00:47have gotten the yard and might

01:00:49have gotten the first down it is

01:00:51going to be very close.

01:00:51Jim Marshall led the charge I

01:00:54wonder how old Tony Dorsett was

01:00:58when Jim Marshall started

01:00:59playing he might have been in a

01:01:01career I don't believe he was

01:01:02born that's the great thing

01:01:06about pro football it has

01:01:08lamination you come into here

01:01:09and you don't have 12 year

01:01:11veterans of college at least

01:01:13that's what you're going to get

01:01:14close to some college it is

01:01:20third down or that did not get

01:01:21it you'll get another crack

01:01:32don't you imagine the defensive

01:01:34people and you're on the

01:01:35defensive side right now don't

01:01:37you think they're keen Tony

01:01:38Dorsett watch Eller come through

01:01:41and strip it and watch number 50

01:01:43and I'm going to tell you the

01:01:43big guy Stanford's got it

01:01:45humming Randy White will drop

01:01:52deep number 11 for Dallas Bob

01:01:55Grimm is the man the Vikings

01:02:00would like to handle the ball

01:02:01he's back there with Robert

01:02:04Miller a high knuckleball that

01:02:07requires a fair catch and that's

01:02:08what Grimm does with it at the

01:02:09plate the Vikings will take over

01:02:14with three minutes and 11

01:02:16seconds left to play in the

01:02:17first half and Minnesota lead

01:02:20seven to three two of the top

01:02:21teams of last year in the last

01:02:23few years on opening day don't

01:02:27forget the Trenton 150 next

01:02:29Saturday 430 Eastern Time on a

01:02:31CBS Sports Spectacular Patrick

01:02:34that's still a dangerous old

01:02:35track up there and if you're a

01:02:36racing buff that's when you

01:02:38want to watch the game here's

01:02:40when you want to watch to

01:02:43Tarkington gives to Miller Miller

01:02:46got perhaps to the line of

01:02:48scrimmage and the veteran Jeff

01:02:50throw few underneath these two

01:02:52teams are so good if you make a

01:02:54couple of mistakes in a row you

01:02:56could get down 14 points and it

01:02:58looks like they're playing close

01:02:59to the vest but they're really

01:03:00not Red Sox six to four over the

01:03:06Red Sox both of those teams

01:03:09chasing the Yankees still

01:03:11Baltimore two and a half games

01:03:12out losing to the Red Sox

01:03:14Tarkington by Tingle off the

01:03:18stew boy Charlie Waters the man

01:03:23nearest and that's Du Bois it's

01:03:28just to do it 214 pounds out of

01:03:30Wisconsin they never draft any

01:03:33big tight ends that come in and

01:03:34take it away from he goes down

01:03:36to the spot he had like eight

01:03:38catches in preseason only about

01:03:40a nine yard average but every

01:03:41darn catch he makes is valuable

01:03:43it's important that one was

01:03:45valuable enough for a first down

01:03:47three catches by Stu voice for

01:03:4940 yards and a Minnesota first

01:03:50down a target and flips back to

01:03:52Portland ball is loose and looks

01:03:56like it might belong to the

01:03:57Cowboys yes it does again it's

01:04:02between Tarkington and Foreman

01:04:05the best ball handlers obviously

01:04:06on this ballclub it's a casual

01:04:08pass that sort of hits off the

01:04:10shoulder pad of Foreman and his

01:04:12effort to recover it didn't seem

01:04:14outstanding either yet Jones had

01:04:16a shot at it but D.D. Lewis is

01:04:19the man who made the recovery

01:04:21Jones was in good shape on that

01:04:22play and Dallas is in good shape

01:04:24right now at the Minnesota 29

01:04:27with just over two minutes left

01:04:28to play in the first half the

01:04:30Cowboys look like they have a

01:04:31chance to get closer or

01:04:32possibly go ahead go ahead and

01:04:39Laidlaw those are the running

01:04:41backs behind Starbuck set goes

01:04:44deep in the eye about gets away

01:04:49from paid and finally does not

01:04:51get away from everybody else it

01:04:54ruled an incomplete pass Laidlaw

01:04:56had it Marshall has it now the

01:05:01referees get it from the crowd

01:05:03I think Jim knows which way to

01:05:04go with that one give it back to

01:05:05the ref obviously there was a

01:05:07good shot put on Laidlaw and now

01:05:12we'll wait while both benches are

01:05:14notified that there are that

01:05:16many seconds remaining in the

01:05:17first half Hey mom Oh hi

01:05:27stop sitting around mom let's

01:05:29take a ride in my new Ford

01:06:09and when when it comes time to

01:06:12changing tires I'm the one they

01:06:14had to take it in well if

01:06:15someone was to ask me you know

01:06:17what tires to get I would tell

01:06:19him to get Firestone Firestone

01:06:26Tony Dorsett Pat has got to

01:06:38and almost gets laid law put in

01:06:39the infirmary we come back live

01:06:41the ball is loose and live and

01:06:46Minnesota's got it Jeff Wright

01:06:58is the guy who made the recovery

01:07:01say they're secondary guys look

01:07:04like the Yankee infield anything

01:07:06that comes around their throne

01:07:07or otherwise they end up with it

01:07:11at the 15 it'll be first and 10

01:07:13for the Vikings Dallas defense

01:07:17back on the field Minnesota

01:07:18offense behind Fran Tarkin

01:07:25Miller straight ahead a couple

01:07:28not much more than that Randy

01:07:31White underneath the bottom and

01:07:37Jeff rope you can you be about

01:07:41that even are these two teams

01:07:42about as close as you can get

01:07:45Minnesota was eleven two and one

01:07:47last year and Dallas was eleven

01:07:48and three Minnesota four and two

01:07:52and three season in Dallas three

01:07:53and three target to drop Harvey

01:07:58Martin got away from the blockers

01:07:59target and fired Chuck Foreman

01:08:01has that ought to be enough for

01:08:03first down Aaron Kyle wrestled

01:08:06him down a minute five seconds

01:08:07left first half Minnesota seven

01:08:09Dallas three some play by

01:08:11Tarkin then watch this I'll tell

01:08:13you this little character can

01:08:15still put it all together watch

01:08:17him run to the left before he

01:08:19knows how to get away throws it

01:08:20on the run very calm at the

01:08:22moment of release good tackle by

01:08:24Kyle here on number forty four

01:08:26has crazy thoughts it is a

01:08:31Minnesota first down ball at

01:08:34their own twenty eight they lead

01:08:35by four in the closing minutes

01:08:38of the first half the first game

01:08:39of NFL season number 58 Pat

01:08:42Summerall with Tom Brookshire

01:08:46and I've seen most of the great

01:08:47quarterbacks either played with

01:08:48them or had them throw the ball

01:08:49over me to somebody else but I'll

01:08:51tell you number 10 is the most

01:08:53unusual that will ever come along

01:08:54in this game I don't know if

01:08:55we'll ever see anybody that's put

01:08:58together like that that can play

01:08:59that many seasons have all the

01:09:01touchdown records all the yardage

01:09:03records all the attempt records

01:09:05and not get hurt you look down

01:09:07that list of records that are

01:09:08live the target and holds right

01:09:10now most yards game lifetime

01:09:12most touchdown passes lifetime

01:09:14most passes attempted lifetime

01:09:16most passes completed lifetime

01:09:18it just goes on and on and those

01:09:20are not team records those are

01:09:22league records he said he wants

01:09:24two more years of it which

01:09:26doesn't make the opposition feel

01:09:27any better about that either

01:09:32one of five left this is the

01:09:34first half in Minnesota don't

01:09:37forget to stick around with us

01:09:38for a look at the half update on

01:09:41all the scores that must burger

01:09:43Phyllis George and her cross less

01:09:45than a minute now left in the

01:09:46first half Minnesota seven Dallas

01:09:49three you know is really blocking

01:09:51is good Charlie Goodrum has

01:09:53really grown up number 68 at the

01:09:56left guard spot he went across

01:09:57and trapped that time on too tall

01:09:59and not a bad hole five yard game

01:10:06and the Vikings show not too much

01:10:09of an indication that they will

01:10:10call a timeout just run out the

01:10:13first half something big happens

01:10:17Francis is going to try to make

01:10:18it Jennifer Miller who pulled up

01:10:22Aaron Kyle on the coverage that

01:10:23will stop the clock with 23

01:10:25seconds left to play in the first

01:10:27half he's probably thinking three

01:10:29points he'd like to get Cox

01:10:30inside the 30 yard line or so and

01:10:33try to get a 40 yard field goal

01:10:35and get a second kicker his his

01:10:38osteopathic kicker that's been

01:10:40here for 14 years Fred Cox that's

01:10:42right imagine that you could have

01:10:44a guy on your team that can pop

01:10:46your knuckles and get your back

01:10:47in shape and still kick like that

01:10:49I got a lot of guys can do that

01:10:52even when you don't ask.

01:10:56Third down and five the situation

01:10:58now Viking ball at their own 33

01:11:01and a half straight ahead now

01:11:08Dallas might be calling a time

01:11:09out 18 seconds left to go in the

01:11:15first half Dallas had all three

01:11:18of their timeouts left and that

01:11:20was a cowboy timeout just called

01:11:23there's no use saving timeouts

01:11:24you know coaches you say save

01:11:26those timeouts you get through

01:11:27the game you still had all those

01:11:28timeouts left and everybody was

01:11:30waiting for you you can't bank

01:11:31them can you.

01:11:33No interest down situation for

01:11:37Neil Clabo and the Vikings and

01:11:40the Cowboys would like to get

01:11:41close enough to at least get

01:11:43Herrera in range sort of a funny

01:11:47call by Fran really on third

01:11:48down wasn't yet was play ball

01:11:54and a half which Johnson is

01:12:01deep for Dallas and Brady six

01:12:07they almost blocked it again

01:12:09flag goes down they did run into

01:12:11play ball that time and that

01:12:12ought to just about take care of

01:12:13the first half Thomas Henderson

01:12:17I believe is the guy who ran in

01:12:18to play ball watch it they've

01:12:20served warning though they're

01:12:21going to get one they've got

01:12:22missed by a fraction I believe

01:12:25was number fifty nine who

01:12:27actually made the contact that's

01:12:28Guy Brown the linebacker from

01:12:30Houston and there's the walk off

01:12:32was not intentional so it's only

01:12:34five but it is a first down and

01:12:36now running into the kicker

01:12:38number fifty nine defense that

01:12:43was Guy Brown let's say a friend

01:12:47goes to the outside a couple of

01:12:48times throw something safe deep

01:12:51deep side line which is very

01:12:54safe that's not as safe as the

01:12:57deep side line I'll tell you

01:12:58that first down for Francis

01:13:06based on the last series I think

01:13:08it just went out Miller ducks

01:13:12underneath Randy White make sure

01:13:14he stays down and the clock runs

01:13:16down at the end of the first

01:13:18half the Vikings who scored on

01:13:20the first possession a key run

01:13:23by Sammy Johnson and a touchdown

01:13:26pass from Fran Tarkenton to

01:13:28Chuck Foreman got the Vikings

01:13:31that lead it was a 40 yard field

01:13:33goal by a friend Herrera that

01:13:36accounts for the Dallas three so

01:13:39at the half the Minnesota Vikings

01:13:43lead the Dallas Cowboys the

01:13:45score is seven three what time

01:16:02and Brent of course will have

01:16:03those highlights of that game in

01:16:04just a moment Baltimore held a

01:16:06day for Brooks Robinson but they

01:16:08trail the Boston Red Sox in the

01:16:09sixth inning six to five and

01:16:11six to four a Baltimore defeat

01:16:14would place him three and a half

01:16:15games behind the Yankees and the

01:16:17other races the Phillies lost to

01:16:19St. Louis their magic number

01:16:21staying at five in the National

01:16:32number to four in the American

01:16:34League West now in Davis Cup play

01:16:36today both Australia and Italy

01:16:38advanced to the finals and of

01:16:40course Ted Turner's shot

01:16:41courageous made it four straight

01:16:43to sweep the America's Cup.

01:16:44Britt what about those Yankee

01:16:45highlights.

01:16:46All right.

01:16:46Phyllis also an update right now

01:16:48Boston leading Baltimore 6 4 in

01:16:50the ninth.

01:16:50Now the highlights that Phyllis

01:16:51told you about what a pickup

01:16:53Dave Kingman has turned out to

01:16:55be for the New York Yankees in

01:16:56Tiger Stadium where hitters

01:16:58flurry.

01:16:59She hit another one today two in

01:17:01two days for New York as they

01:17:03rolled up a six run lead.

01:17:05And I want to show you a

01:17:06candidate for most valuable

01:17:07player in the American League.

01:17:09Maybe all you've heard about

01:17:10Reggie Jackson is controversy.

01:17:11Well has he been thumping the

01:17:12last week five home runs in a

01:17:15week.

01:17:15Another one today.

01:17:16Yankees hold off the Tigers 6 5

01:17:18and close in now on another

01:17:20championship in the American

01:17:22League East.

01:17:23And if we haven't upset the New

01:17:24York Giants and the Washington

01:17:25Redskins right away the Giants

01:17:28ambushed the Redskins Billy

01:17:29Kilmer watch now as Kilmer

01:17:31attempts to throw a simple pass

01:17:33out on the flat.

01:17:34George Martin defensive lineman

01:17:35picks it off 29 yards for a

01:17:37touchdown.

01:17:38Unfortunately Martin later was

01:17:40injured he'll be sidelined for

01:17:41weeks.

01:17:42Kilmer now trying desperately to

01:17:44bring the Redskins back into it

01:17:45and he has helped here by an

01:17:47interference call.

01:17:48It is obvious on Fugitive he had

01:17:50no chance to go for the ball

01:17:51that set up this touchdown play.

01:17:53Kilmer second and goal.

01:17:55He shakes Riggins number 44

01:17:57loose and he's got him as the

01:17:58skins regain the lead.

01:18:00But it is Goldstein the Giants

01:18:02rookie quarterback he missed all

01:18:03of last year because of an

01:18:04injury who hit Ed Marshall down

01:18:06at the seven yard line.

01:18:08On a deflection by Houston then

01:18:10the touchdown pass that tied it

01:18:12at 17 Goldstein to shirt and it

01:18:15looked like they were headed for

01:18:16overtime but on a simple quick

01:18:18trap the Redskins fumbled and it

01:18:21was recovered by the Giants then

01:18:24with just five seconds left.

01:18:26It was Danilo kicking the field

01:18:28goal 20 yards and the Giants had

01:18:30upset the Washington Redskins by

01:18:32a score of 20 to 17.

01:18:34That wasn't the only upsetter of

01:18:36cross.

01:18:36Well there were other upsets

01:18:37Brent we'll talk about it when

01:18:38we get to that Atlanta L.A. game

01:18:40but right now in Minnesota

01:18:41Vikings and Dallas Cowboys of

01:18:43course are tied at half or are

01:18:45going to end in half with the

01:18:47Dallas trailing the Minnesota

01:18:48seven and three.

01:18:49But this is the highlight

01:18:50Packers from Atlanta and L.A.

01:18:52Joe Namath has completed a pass

01:18:54there to Harold Jackson the

01:18:55second pass here third pass

01:18:57actually the game was a

01:18:57touchdown this time the Jackson

01:18:59a 29 yard score Haskell

01:19:01standback scores the one yard

01:19:02line from Atlanta to not the

01:19:03game.

01:19:04The Rams by the way missed an

01:19:05extra point in this game final

01:19:06score was 17 to 6 and Haskell

01:19:08stand back.

01:19:09We had a great preseason carries

01:19:1035 yards here down to the L.A.

01:19:1236 yard line which sets up

01:19:14another sequence of plays

01:19:15allowing Scott Hunter to hit

01:19:16Wallace Francis along the sideline

01:19:18inside the 12 yard line.

01:19:20Hunter goes this time on a

01:19:21keeper scores another touchdown

01:19:23and get a field goal for Atlanta

01:19:24the final score 17 6 and we'll

01:19:26get the Minnesota Dallas one of

01:19:29your favorite running backs of

01:19:30course is Walter Payton.

01:19:31He rushed for one hundred and

01:19:33sixty one yards.

01:19:34We're going to show you a

01:19:35highlight package on Walter and

01:19:36we'll be right back as the NFL

01:20:06and sixty yards.

01:20:07Here is his best run.

01:20:09Seventy five yards now watch for

01:20:11number eighty nine James Scott

01:20:12from the left side of your

01:20:13screen he's going to throw a

01:20:14sensational block no clip on the

01:20:16play and Peyton got down inside

01:20:20the 10 yard line before he was

01:20:21run out of bounds then he came

01:20:23back was still another long run.

01:20:26Look at that little delay that

01:20:27they run with Peyton sprinting

01:20:28out to the left 24 yards again

01:20:31at his Scott out in front

01:20:32throwing the key block one of

01:20:34two touchdowns by number thirty

01:20:36four on a first and goal behind

01:20:38Revy sorry he plows to the

01:20:39corner.

01:20:41Now let's take a slow motion

01:20:42look at what the Bears were

01:20:43doing.

01:20:44They held Peyton up for a count

01:20:46got great blocking from thirty

01:20:47five Roland Harper he whips a

01:20:49linebacker Peyton and slips

01:20:51through the daylight counted on

01:20:52James Scott downfield.

01:20:54Here he is going on his own and

01:20:56finally run out of bounds.

01:20:58Now his second and final

01:21:00touchdown it's a three yard run

01:21:03and watch his nose for the end

01:21:04zone right there.

01:21:05Walter Peyton one hundred and

01:21:07sixty one yards twenty three

01:21:09carries and two touchdowns in

01:21:10Chicago winner Irv now it's time

01:21:12for the Dallas Cowboys.

01:21:13OK Dallas and Minnesota of

01:21:14course seven three at halftime

01:21:16with Minnesota leading the game

01:21:17at their home bar ballpark in

01:21:19Bloomington Minnesota and

01:21:20everybody expected this to be a

01:21:21tough ball game and it is

01:21:22because Fran Tarkin at this time

01:21:24hands off to Sammy White who

01:21:25breaks off his left guard and

01:21:27moves upfield for a twenty five

01:21:28yard gain around the Dallas

01:21:30twenty five yard line.

01:21:31Tarkin at this time elects to go

01:21:33through the air and picks out

01:21:34his favorite receiver Chuck

01:21:35Foreman who latches on to it.

01:21:37Ten yards touchdown Minnesota

01:21:38the only touchdown in the first

01:21:39half.

01:21:40The Cowboys get on the board

01:21:41with a thirty three yard field

01:21:42goal from Efren Herrera seven

01:21:45three at halftime.

01:21:47It was New Orleans and the Green

01:21:48Bay Packers in the Superdome the

01:21:50side of the Super Bowl game next

01:21:52January on CBS and probably the

01:21:55single most exciting play of the

01:21:56day.

01:21:57It was a punt return.

01:21:58Harold of the Packers waiting to

01:22:00haul it back 80 yards coming up

01:22:02right here.

01:22:03Now watch the block that Wagner

01:22:05is going to throw number 21 after

01:22:07he turns the corner.

01:22:08It's the final block for Willard

01:22:10Harrell and it'll lead him into

01:22:11the end zone right there.

01:22:13The Packers opened up a 14 point

01:22:15lead largely because Lynn Dickey

01:22:18was hitting campaign.

01:22:20Here he is with protection

01:22:22stepping up and going deep down

01:22:24the left sideline.

01:22:25He wanted pain again on the

01:22:27touchdown play that put the

01:22:28Packers ahead 21 0 after the

01:22:30extra point and he got it.

01:22:33But the Saints rallied valiantly

01:22:34in the second half.

01:22:35Archie Manning number eight back

01:22:37after that arm operation of a

01:22:38year ago for Henry Childs coming

01:22:41out of the right side.

01:22:41He went all the way for the

01:22:43touchdown made it 24 20.

01:22:45But then the Packers were able to

01:22:47hold on and Bart Starr had beaten

01:22:49Hank Scram and again that final

01:22:51score is 24 0.

01:22:52And of course just a handful of

01:22:53games now still working.

01:22:55St. Louis and Denver they are

01:22:56scoreless in the second quarter.

01:22:58Of course the game you're

01:22:59watching 7 3 Minnesota at the

01:23:00half Baltimore over Seattle 14

01:23:037 at the half Houston leading

01:23:04the Jets 7 0.

01:23:05And right now let's go back to

01:23:06Bloomington Minnesota Pat

01:23:08Summerall and Tom Brookshire.

01:23:09Pat.

01:23:11All right Brent.

01:23:11Thank you very much.

01:23:12Tom I think over the years that

01:23:14we've watched the Vikings play

01:23:16you get sort of a feeling that

01:23:17they just they're not all of it

01:23:19impressive but they just stifle

01:23:20you.

01:23:21Well the first play of the game

01:23:22the pass play by talking to it

01:23:23really was an interception pass.

01:23:25Right.

01:23:26But instead of that Harris runs

01:23:27into Kyle Ahmad Rashad gets

01:23:29hurt but they don't get the I

01:23:30and T on the very first play

01:23:31which would have been deep and

01:23:33you seem to make the bad play

01:23:35and the Vikings seem to wait for

01:23:37you not to make your good play

01:23:38all the time.

01:23:38I know it sounds weird and by

01:23:40the way Rashad Ahmad Rashad who

01:23:42was hurt on that first play has

01:23:43not come back.

01:23:43Our word was that he had a

01:23:45slight concussion maybe or maybe

01:23:47not be back.

01:23:48But that's a big loss for the

01:23:49Vikings as far as Dallas is

01:23:50concerned of course all of us

01:23:52were waiting for the for the

01:23:53debut of Tony Dorsett.

01:23:55He's carried the ball to my

01:23:56recollection three times and has

01:23:57picked up almost no yards.

01:23:59Well you know it's a crazy thing

01:24:00but Archie Griffin when he came

01:24:01in his first game he had 38

01:24:03yards on 12 carries.

01:24:04Steve Owens with Detroit had no

01:24:06rushing yardage at all his first

01:24:08game.

01:24:09Capaletti had three yards on one

01:24:10carry and OJ Simpson only had

01:24:1235 yards on 10 carries.

01:24:14So I don't know what Gail Sayers

01:24:16did his first game.

01:24:16That might scare me but we've

01:24:17got to wait for Dorsett to

01:24:18really show us what we've been

01:24:19doing.

01:24:20A lot of top flight backs who

01:24:22have not had auspicious

01:24:23beginnings and so far too early

01:24:25to judge of course Dorsett has

01:24:27not done all that well.

01:24:28I think that Roger Starbuck

01:24:30really has not been the smooth

01:24:32quarterback that we're used to

01:24:33saying.

01:24:34I think he overthrew Billy Joe

01:24:36Dupree down in the end zone

01:24:37which I think was a touchdown.

01:24:38Tarkington has been fantastic as

01:24:40always you know.

01:24:43With an ordinary credit card

01:24:44we're going to prove.
