00:22At the Metrodome in Minneapolis Dallas leading 20 to 6 as we get set to begin
00:28the third quarter
00:31Let's see how Dallas has been doing with their running game
00:34Well, you know one thing that they mix
00:36I mean if you look they go four times to the left 11 yards five times the middle 21 yards
00:41Five times to the right for 44 yards, so they're four five and five
00:46They don't just run to one side or the other. I mean they really mix that part of it. Well
00:53Jim McMahon has gone all the way at quarterback for Minnesota
00:57They got off to a good start halftime statistics first downs Dallas 12 to 8 time of possession
01:04after Minnesota dominated the first quarter is
01:07Pretty even now
01:09Minnesota, you know had such a great first drive. In fact, there's their first drive
01:14They went 80 yards on the first drive and since then they've only had 43 yards
01:19And I think that's what it was. I mean when they had the ball they moved it, but they didn't score with it
01:25They only got six points out of it. They got the two field goals and that's been it
01:29And when you play a team like Dallas and they have Emmett Smith and Michael Irvin and Troy Aikman throw it to him
01:34That's not enough. I mean if they're going to get back into this game. I think they're gonna have to do it with turnovers
01:39I don't know that they're gonna get a lot of big plays against the Cowboys
01:43But their defense is gonna have to get some turnovers. They came close there in that second quarter
01:50Reveille is set to kick it off backing for Dallas Williams and Brock Marion
01:57Again he swims it
02:00Lighter is taken by Chad Hennig
02:03One of the wedge men
02:04You don't necessarily like that. I
02:08Used to always have a rule that a wedge man like Chad Hennings couldn't touch the ball
02:13If it came to you, you would dodge it with a squib kick
02:17In fact, I think Jimmy Johnson started to say something to Chad Hennig about letting it go. Well, at least he didn't fumble it
02:24When you put those big guys at the wedge to blockers and usually you don't let your front five
02:29You let one guy in the wedge catch it and two of the deep guys
02:34Irvin split wide the left
02:36Harbor injury to his left leg. We're still checking on that Williams is the other way
02:47First down by Michael Irvin, you know an interesting thing Pat
02:50I just see now is Kevin Gogan is back, but he's playing left tackle to an A is out
02:56John Giesec has gone in it at right guard and big Kevin Gogan has gone to that left tackle spot
03:03Now to an A was having a little trouble there with Dolman. I don't know if that's why
03:07Last time we saw Gogan
03:09He was walking in the locker room early because he had the flu and now he's out there trying to block Chris Dolman
03:17I don't know what you'd rather have
03:20That's just back to him
03:26Heard it out of bounds by Roy Parker
03:31I don't know what happened to J Novacek
03:33It looked as if he was trying to block early and then all of a sudden he was in the backfield with Smith
03:37He got turned around. He was going the other way
03:40Yeah, he started blocking forward and then he got turned around with the other way as Smith as Smith went by him
03:47If we can find out what happened, well, here he is right here. I don't know. I don't know what happened
03:53I don't know if he knows where he is
03:56He's blocking blocking blocking and now he gets turned around now
04:00He's going the other way and then when he sees Smith, he says I can't lock it just better get out of the way
04:05I'll tell you Jack Del Rio hit Troy Aikman just as he threw that one
04:12He was coming through and he had to throw that ball when he did
04:15But you're gonna see number 55 right there
04:18You see Del Rio coming free on the blitz and there goes Aikman Aikman feels that
04:23Because had he kept that another beat longer that would have been a sack by Del Rio
04:28He would have been a sack by Del Rio. He would have been a sack by Aikman
04:32If he kept that another beat longer that would have been a sack by Jack Del Rio
04:37third and two as it is
04:42Michael Irvin goes wide left
04:51Ripped up after a Dallas first down in Minnesota territory
04:56He
04:57Made a nice cut off that nose tackle, you know
05:00We talked about deep the cock nose tackle in here and you see it right here now Emmett Smith is going to run at it
05:06See what happens to this block and then make his cut off of that block. That's his read
05:12He's going to read the center
05:13You see the center starts out there the guard start they get Thomas going to the left Emmett Smith ran right at it and then
05:20Right off of that block that's a good illustration of what he was talking about when he reads the block by the center
05:27flag on the play
05:30Before they ever got started
05:41He got rested at halftime his mic blew out or else he got didn't get his volume back
05:46Those again are final scores games earlier today
05:51Buffalo beat the Eagles
05:54Seven to New England over Cincinnati
05:58The word on Alvin Harper is that he has a sprained left knee and will not be back
06:03So the Cowboys again only have two wide receivers
06:08Harper caught the slant in pass
06:12Took the hit from McGregor
06:14First and 15
06:32He has some size over there in that left side now with Gogan and big Nate Newton
06:37And he's going to get right in behind him here. They are right there
06:40Here they are right there. The ball is going to start in here. These guys have their their eight men up there
06:46They're in there to stop the run, but watch that left side Gogan goes out big Nate goes out. They get the lead
06:52They get that thing pushed again again Emmett Smith comes in it sees it and then cuts right off it back to the inside
06:59I think Emmett Smith is one of the greatest cutback runners that ever played this game
07:11As he crossed the line the scrimmage gets down to about the 29
07:16Yeah, they say that mark 2 and a
07:19Was dehydrated and that way that's why he wasn't in there now
07:24I see 2 and a is coming back in and now Gogan is going out Gogan again had the flu and
07:322 and a had dehydration
07:34Logan is sort of wandering
07:36Going out. I know it he wobbled. In fact, he lost about five yards in the wobble
07:42He was he couldn't walk straight out. He lost five yards when he wobbles the dome
07:55Right at the umpire
07:58These officials are having a tough time today
08:01Butcher if you don't know what to do one thing we saw McMahon throw it at the cameraman
08:05What's the umpire right in the middle of the screen? He's gonna I can't find anyone can't find anyone. Don't get some right in the head
08:15That could hurt
08:19Roy Parker, I believe John Dogan's got the flu
08:24Coughing a little bit. That's major flu
08:26There's a lot of place to have the flu in there
08:29Like any any guy that puts a star in his head should have the flu in the body
08:36Which came first that star in the head of the flu
08:46Almost picked off then see plan they had a shot at it number 25 for, Minnesota
08:56They're coming close. I mean the Vikings are coming close to get turnovers
08:59That's really what they're gonna have to do and if they're gonna be in this game
09:03I think it's gotten to a point where they're gonna have to do it with defense
09:06That was good defense here on coverage
09:08But they're gonna have to get one of these turnovers cause a fumble pick it up score it that way because I don't think their
09:15Offense is gonna get it done for him today. So it's third down
09:20about five
09:27In motion here comes a Minnesota flag on the play Novichok made the reception and got a Dallas first down
09:38And be against Dallas
09:41Illegal motion
09:44Offense five yards still third down motion man moving
09:49Motion man was moving. That was Novichok who made the reception
09:53Now the motion man could move the thing is he can't go forward here's Jay Novichok here now
09:59He can come in motion, which is okay, but he can't go forward
10:04So what they had to say was he was going forward there before the ball was snapped
10:10That's close
10:10Yeah
10:11That was very close because he said the motion man moving the motion man can go one man can go in motion
10:17And everyone else has to be set, but he can't go forward. He can't go for
10:22Daryl Johnston was lined up as the tight end on the right side that time with Novichok on the move. That's an adjustment. They've made
10:3620 to 6 Dallas at the Minnesota 29
10:41Kevin Gogan
10:43Flew had to put in some time and left offensive tackle and leave the game early
10:52Novichok again in motion
10:58That should be enough came back with the same play
11:03Yeah, well, that was the thing that they they finally wanted to get it straight
11:06They wanted to get Novichok more involved in the game
11:09They wanted to get him moving more and they thought that's how they could do it
11:13One of the ways to do it was to put Johnston who was catching a lot of Novichok's passes
11:18Put him as a tight end and let Novichok in essence take Johnston's place now they go with two tight ends
11:39The thing is he's always keeping his feet moving
11:43He always has great balance and to go with those feet moving into balance he has great strength
11:48I mean, he's a very he's not a tall man
11:50But he's a very very powerful man, and he gets right in there behind Nate Newton a poor old Gogan
11:57He doesn't know whether he's coming or going. He is
11:59Tall and powerful. Yeah, you see old Goga. He's kind of coming in and going out
12:05You don't know if you're coming or going do you and he was kind of coming he started going second at three
12:14To
12:17About the three
12:19That should be enough for a Dallas first down
12:21It'll make it a third goal there this line gets a surge and Smith takes advantage
12:26Yeah, that's the thing you see watch watch a power that they get watch Nate Newton with Stepnowski there
12:31I mean they they just take Thomas and he just runs
12:34I mean he just gets that body and that arm up there gets those feet are churning
12:38Stuff's going and they're just driving them five and six yards off the line. Yeah, those two guys do a great job
12:45What they call slide
12:54That time they just stayed on the double team on Henry Thomas there
12:58That's a long day for Henry Thomas
13:02Man and hurt already Roy Parker with an assist to make the stop
13:08You know, Dennis Green was worried about this yesterday said that we're the kind of defensive line
13:14And that is quick and really can't take on a lot of power
13:17We can't hang in there with these big guys all day and the Cowboys have made him do it and they just can't the Cowboys
13:26wearing down
13:28Oh
13:36Standing up
13:39Emmitt Smith did the hard work Emmitt Smith got the big yards with the guys who really did that hard work was that offensive line?
13:46I mean they started beating on this Viking defense from me from the get-go
13:50They came out of the tunnel in the second half and again watch this movement here that they get boom boom
13:58They just get everyone driven off the line backed off angles and everything and Johnston can just walk in with it
14:06Hurry for the extra point he's had a good day
14:1051 and 52 yards for Eddie Murray
14:13The touchdown by Darryl Johnston and the Cowboys lead at 27 to 7, Minnesota 6 Emmitt Smith
14:20We were asking him last night if at this point in the season he started to get tired
14:26And he said yeah, well, you know after the 13th week you do and and last night he just looked tired
14:35Rays kickoff handleback
14:42Just to continue John on the subject of being tired and Emmitt Smith he said yeah, but
14:49You get to the stadium you start putting on a tape you get in the locker room
14:53You start anticipating the game and whatever fatigue you have sort of goes away
14:58Yeah
14:58And you just hope that that kicks in because you know you could tell on Saturday night
15:02He wasn't ready to play that he was tired. And you know, he hoped that by today it would all be all right
15:08He said the first feeling he gets
15:11Is when they put the tape on?
15:13And then you come out and then you start getting guys that are blocking like these guys
15:19And I'll tell you, you know, it's hard to play indoors, you know, you think indoors that it's easy to play
15:24But if you look we've had two in a who
15:27Was dehydrated we have Gogan who has the flu we have guys who have cramps
15:33We have you know, you're guys who are taking oxygen and I'll tell you it does
15:37It does take a lot out of you to play inside. I mean those two tackles have had a tough time
15:42I mean you look there's one oxygen mask and then two and they had the other oxygen mask
15:48There's Gogan. He doesn't know if he's coming or going. He got the flu. Look at I mean the two tackles are hanging on to those
15:55oxygen masks
15:58Guys have patches on their heads and it's tough being an offensive lineman
16:02What do you think?
16:04What do you think Nate's thinking about?
16:07It's thinking of how good he blocked that I mean offensive lineman
16:11Love it when when you're running back is doing well
16:14We talked about Emmitt Smith having over a hundred yards already the offensive lineman and take those statistics personally
16:23You're so right
16:25A lot of pride when they do the job. Well done
16:31At about the two
16:34Oh
16:41So Minnesota will take over the Cowboys leading 27 to 6
16:48Pat Summer all with John Madden back at the Metrodome
16:52Minneapolis you think about me in Minneapolis you think about the snow the ice
16:57ice fishing
16:59All it goes on you don't think about anybody taking off their coat
17:01I've never seen this before in my life where you have this look they just hang their coats up there
17:07I've never seen anything like that
17:18Now for an NFL update back to our New York studio
17:22All right, Pat at Phoenix the Lions had fallen behind but not for long
17:26Eric Kramer up top to Rodney Holman down the sideline 28 yards and a touchdown the extra point
17:31They're tied at 14 under three minutes to play in the third baton John
17:37650 left to play in the third here Dallas leading 27
17:45Minnesota's first and first down since the first quarter
17:48Back to the line of scrimmage. He lost him stopped by Darren Smith
17:59Jim McMahon's yesterday had his had his son over at the practice field. That was something I said
18:05Sean turned nine years old. So he had his birthday party at the practice facility
18:10McMahon was taking care of about 30 kids. I didn't want birthday cake
18:14Ice cream. We just wanted pizza. He had more pizza. He could have fed the whole town
18:32That's enough for another first down for Minnesota Kevin Smith the defender
18:38Like someone hit Jim McMahon he was having trouble breathing there
18:42There's Chris Carter on the outside and you see he's going to come up and then just stop and then slide to the outside
18:49That's a hook and then after you hook you don't want to just sit there and wait you start to slide inside or outside
18:56That's called an option or a choice route where you slide inside or outside away from the defender
19:03first attempt
19:11Out of bounds
19:14At about the 33 it should be enough for another Minnesota first down Kevin Smith again knocked him out
19:23That's it that's the thing about playing the Cowboys is you know
19:27It's it's so tough as they came out in the second half and they kept the ball all the way until now
19:31So the Vikings you get the ball and you have to feel a little desperate sometimes for offenses. That's not bad
19:38I mean, that's not a bad feeling for this Viking offense to maybe have to feel a little desperate
19:54Darren Smith
19:57Now they were trying to run that counter train
19:59They tried to get big Tim Irwin the right tackle from the right side over to the left side and he got
20:05Penetration and he couldn't get there if you see watch here now here
20:09They're trying to pull around here, but they get penetration in here
20:13So he has to go around here and that fouls the whole play up there. You see the guard gets out
20:18Okay, but right there where one had to go back. He couldn't get the block then he ran by one
20:35Haley
20:37In Minnesota
20:40James Washington got him out of bounds Charles Haley
20:44Well, Haley may have a tough time standing up. You know, we talked about Haley
20:48He has a bad groin, but more difficult than that is that he has a herniated disc
20:55His bag, although he can have a little laugh after he's a glad here
20:59He is at the bottom of the screen right here
21:01get in there and disrupt things.
21:04He gets chopped right there.
21:05I don't think he expected that.
21:07Scotty Graham chopped and he'd never see that.
21:10I think he expected him to stand up and Scotty Graham did one boom
21:13and just cut him down and Darryl Haley couldn't get up with a bad
21:17back and a bad groin is the fake.
21:21Graham out of bounds inside the 10 first down Minnesota to now
21:33played for the Cowboys last year remember towards the end of the
21:36season the Cowboys picked up to now and he played in the playoffs
21:40the championship and in the Super Bowl.
21:42Here's a guy to now who's playing for the Minnesota Vikings today
21:46but has a ring from the Cowboys scored a touchdown in one of the
21:49playoff games first and goal at the seven Steve Jordan you know
22:16starting tight end for the Minnesota Vikings and back to
22:19twelve year veteran.
22:21He has a bad knee and of course as you can see when by the clothes
22:25he's wearing today that he's inactive if they if they miss a
22:30Steve Jordan which is very obvious and they have to go to
22:34after the Carter first part you know that's the tough thing
22:56about putting that guard back there in the backfield is one
23:00you get him here here's McDaniel now he has to lead so that
23:03tells everyone here where the ball's going because you're not
23:06going to hand it to him so he's going to lead so he's going to
23:09lead you right to the hole so that's a good day I mean you get
23:12a big guy doing that but the bad thing is it leads all the
23:16defense right to the hole all you have to do is watch number
23:19sixty four and if it's going to be a run he'll lead you right
23:23to where you're going to run the Vikings get on the board
23:37again Scotty Graham's first
23:43professional touchdown spent time with the Steelers spent
23:51time with the Jets last year as his first start in his first
23:55touchdown watch him he brings some power in there Pat I mean
23:59he hit that thing up there and he got that pile going backwards
24:05he's got a good pop he put on Robert Jones is for the extra
24:11point is good so the Vikings narrow it twenty seven thirteen
24:19Morley's up to no good what they say I can't believe that
24:23Morley Dallas gets the ball back to about the thirty five where
24:31the Vikings have been squib kicking all the time now here's
24:35what a squib now on a kickoff coverage you want to get the
24:38team to the 20 or inside now he squibs it but you got to get it
24:43past the front line and pass that second line and they're not
24:47doing it just squibbing it and it's being caught by the way
24:50then the wedge is getting it up to the thirty five and you're
24:53really not getting advantage of what you're trying to do that's
24:57to him it's Smith who lost his helmet and covered up you don't
25:02think it's tough out there I mean he had to pick up the parts
25:06I mean not only did he lose his helmet but some of the parts in
25:09the helmet flew out he had to put them back together then you
25:14get back in the huddle before you check all your other parts
25:17you don't check it when you're out there you don't check it
25:20when you're in the huddle you don't check it when you're out
25:23you get back in the huddle before you check all your other
25:25parts you don't check it when you're out there I mean Emmitt
25:29Smith has had something knocked out of him and he went to his
25:33huddle to check it out now he's going to the sideline to check
25:37it out further you talk about a little wobbly I think he's
25:43wobbly in fact he's taking a knee right now I mean that one
25:48that one got him he didn't want to show it and he didn't want to
25:51show it he tried to go back to the huddle he just doesn't have
25:55his stuff together there Lincoln Coleman has replaced
26:21I think you know one thing about about Emmitt Smith he never
26:25wants to come out of a football game and he's hurting there I
26:28think that when he when he got down I think that he got hit
26:32that hit that knocked his helmet off I think he's going to get
26:35after the back of the neck and that took something out of him
26:38and then he got hit again without the helmet
26:52and he's a load about 250 Jimmy Johnson was saying what a change
27:02of pace he is and Emmitt Smith doesn't want any change of
27:06paces but you can see they're checking Emmitt Smith's helmet I
27:10think that you know he may have cracked it or broke something in
27:14there he looked like he he cut his tongue there might be a
27:24tooth in there well whatever it is his parts aren't working I
27:28mean you know the parts that he has and his helmet you know
27:31wasn't now he looks like when you stand up like that and you
27:35get that look and you put the hat in your hand you're ready to
27:37go again that's the end of the third quarter with the score
27:41Dallas twenty seven Minnesota 13 our coverage will continue
27:45after this message from your local station you've been
27:47watching the NFL on CBS ready to begin the fourth quarter and
27:54Emmitt Smith looks ready again I think you can tell in his eyes
28:00and the smile on his face that he's ready Emmitt Smith was
28:03coming in Coleman was going out they exchanged whatever they did
28:08Emmitt took a good old spit in the artificial turf and says
28:11let's scrap run and go second down he gets the Gary Darryl
28:23Johnston recovered the Vikings know that that's what they need
28:33to win I mean they had a pretty good drive but they need to come
28:37up with a play they have to cause a fumble they have to
28:40strip it they have to get an interception or something
28:43there's a pretty good strip right there I mean McGregor was
28:46going for the ball all the way watch Lamar McGregor strong
28:51safety come in from the outside and stretch that right arm all
28:56the way across the body to a almost had it Darryl Johnston
29:01ended up with the guys are having trouble with those hats
29:18Whitman men are going to have a big job today you know the thing
29:23that Smith does is watch him block here you know you we know
29:26that Emmitt Smith runs the ball and we know that he catches the
29:30ball but this is what makes him a complete running back is is
29:34when you pass the ball and they want to play he's a good past
29:38that's a tough catch but he made the perfect adjustment and
29:54he made the perfect throw and you wonder about these indoor
29:57stadiums again you always have lights and I'm not making an
29:59excuse for Michael Irvin but you wonder if sometimes when he
30:03looked up to his right then he has to turn and look over that
30:05left shoulder if he didn't maybe see the light because that
30:08ball was a perfect path and it goes right through his arm in
30:13fact it gets a little too close to him it maybe hits his
30:16shoulder pad wasn't his fault and the perfect throw but that's
30:23not what you have to look to your right and then turn back to
30:26Michael Irvin said he was bobbling it when he went out of
30:30bound felt good about that that official felt strong on that one
30:38I mean he gave it a strong bubble he was bobbling Jimmy
30:43Johnson feel strongly about it too in other words his feet
30:47were inbound and he didn't have to look to his right and he
30:50didn't have control of it he's right there watch he's watching
30:56the feet he's watching the ball he says the feet were OK and it
31:01was no good that up up up up like that that means bobble
31:06Michael Irvin I think has had a couple of good calls for him
31:09today though
31:21the Cowboys lead twenty seven
31:23thirteen to summarize Dallas scored on five of its first six
31:33drives Dallas total yards Smith and Irvin two hundred and fifty
31:38five the rest of the team seventy seven no turnovers so
31:41far in the game and I think when you have no turnovers in
31:46the game that's a cowboy kind of game and the Cowboys are going
31:49to win those games you're going to beat the Cowboys you not only
31:53have to play good defense Robert you have to get him to turn the
31:56ball over third and Irvin split wide to the left this time got a
32:06yard two but not nearly enough to pick up the first down we'll
32:11see Eddie Murray again earlier finals today the Giants win at
32:19least at least a wild card spot in the playoffs NFC Central
32:25still in a muddle Tampa Bay losing or winning over Chicago
32:37Murray from forty six yards this time Eddie Murray's third
32:49of the day all along with two over 50 the Cowboys have 30
32:55points CBS Sports coverage of the National Football League is
33:00sponsored by Mercedes Benz the American Express card don't
33:05leave home without it old duels from Anheuser Busch premium beer
33:09taste without the alcohol and by McDonald's what you want is what
33:13you get at McDonald's today in Minneapolis inside the Metrodome
33:23Dallas 30 the Vikings 13 Mark today back to the oxygen end of
33:38the end zone touchback you know if you look at those big tackles
33:42you know they're always going to their path and they're always
33:44going to the oxygen you wonder about playing indoors seriously
33:49I mean you know you know the chemistry or whatever it is you
33:52know you get oxygen from grass and there's no grass in here
33:55you're playing on carpet and you got a roof on there and then a
33:59lot of these people are taking up the oxygen so I don't think I
34:03don't think there's a lot of oxygen here they don't use it on
34:08the other side because the offense is on the field I think
34:11they could use the oxygen first down at the 20 McMahon remains
34:19the quarterback Myers incomplete for Olanda Truitt
34:26remember the days in Minnesota when it looked like this is the
34:28old stadium yeah but there was plenty of oxygen out there I
34:31mean if you look if you look out there there was no roof you had
34:36the regular grass you had that steam coming out of everything
34:40this is the way they had a you know they had a torch stuff but
34:44Grant of course was the coach didn't let anybody wear any
34:47gloves yeah but there was a lot of oxygen there now they've got
34:50a roof so you only have the oxygen that is in the building
34:52when you start right X Minnesota started to say Bill Brown who
35:09was the guy that played fullback for Minnesota so well
35:12back in those days at the old city and just stopped by for a
35:15visit a minute ago and it was good to see Bill Brown he looks
35:18like he did when he was young and still got the crew cut Jim
35:23McMahon was upset about that when Kevin Smith made a heck of an
35:26interception and he got a job he was running all the way with
35:29McMahon he was reading that thing all the way and really got
35:34the job done but McMahon is looking looking looking then he
35:40starts to come out this way and then he sees the thing and watch
35:43Kevin Smith he had perfect coverage before McMahon threw
35:47the ball and then after he threw it he was able to take one more
35:51step to the interception he gets the carry on the handoff of
35:59Eggman and carries the pile with him for about three yards
36:03made the first contact great coverage by Kevin Smith and
36:07interception Mark Stepnowski you know he started off with the
36:14bad ankle didn't practice all week hurt his ankle getting out
36:18of bed and that finally got well enough to play today and then
36:22then he hurt his knee so that wasn't the same injury that he
36:25got getting out of bed he got that one in the game in the
36:29game he's fired up this is what football is all about now you
36:48get him down there in the pitch you get the guy blocking and
36:51knocking and you get the runners you're almost down you put a
36:54hand down you just keep your feet going you keep your hand
36:57you got everything going just keep all your stuff going
37:00forward MS Smith on the sideline Lincoln Coleman played arena
37:05football one of the Dallas trainers saw him on television
37:09and said to Jimmy Johnson among others you better take a look at
37:14this guy he can play you get down yeah when you play an arena
37:24football you're used to getting hit you run into walls and
37:27boards and everything I thought Stepnowski was going out that
37:32was just his jersey and shoulder pads he just took the top of him
37:36out we're in Tarrytown they left the body it took took the rest
37:43you know he tapes the reason it looked like that is he takes his
37:47shoulder pads to his jersey I think they're going to call it
38:08on Audrey McMillan number 26 and look like he right at the end
38:13gave a little push there that's interference defense number 26
38:19first down spot of the fall Audrey McMillan you're correct
38:25first and goal for Dallas from there but the ball is trying to
38:28look like right there at the end he gave a little push I don't
38:31know that's that's a tight call I mean I was I was just a little
38:35hip job I mean he was hip to hip and he gave a little hip
38:38rotation and pushed him out of there that'll make it first and
38:42goal just outside the one hand come out perhaps at the end as
38:59he tried to put the ball across the goal line but it'll be about
39:03one foot away I think Vinci Glenn came flying across that
39:09pile or flying over the top and I think he turned Coleman
39:13sideways watch if someone comes I think it's number 25 Vinci
39:18Glenn you see him fly right there there it was he was the
39:21guy who got him started and then and then the next guy was
39:25Carlos Jenkins and the Viking defense really held up pretty
39:50well they just couldn't take all the shots of this cowboy team
39:53and the Cowboys are just too big too strong and too good that
39:58size just wore him down Lincoln Coleman got some of the benefits
40:03of that offensive lines work and of Emmitt Smith's work today
40:08you know Emmitt Smith has done and he got the baseball cap on
40:11the big smile go and he looks like he does on Saturday before
40:14the game now nine and a half minutes left to play as Murray
40:18will try the extra point and gets it so 930 left to play in
40:26the fourth quarter Dallas 37 Minnesota 13 and that ball
40:32belongs to Lincoln Coleman yeah you wonder how they know after
40:35you look here one of the first things they do is they put the
40:38number number 44 then they can put it away because all these
40:43guys you know they keep the footballs that they do good
40:46things with and so they don't get it mixed up to put the guy's
40:49number on him first one's a big one today's game was produced by
40:56Bob Stenner and directed by Sandy Grossman coordinating
41:00producer of the NFL today is Eric Mann directed by Larry
41:03Campbell Lena senior producer of the NFL on CBS is Ed Gorin the
41:08executive in charge of production and Rick Gingale
41:11Ismael will bring it out Dave Thomas to make the stop let's
41:21look at the standings now the NFC East the Giants won earlier
41:26today Dallas appears to have won I think this is going to be one
41:31of the races right down to the end Pat because you know the
41:34last game of the season the Giants play the Cowboys in New
41:38York and you know you know and that's going to be a big big
41:41game it could be things keep going the way they are it could
41:44be the game that goes for everything home field throughout
41:47the playoff will be there Sean Salisbury is now the Minnesota
41:52quarterback Mike Tyson a flag on the play goes Stepnowski we saw
42:04his pads and his jersey leave earlier facemask violation
42:07against the Cowboys Kevin Smith face mask five yards twenty six
42:14in the defense five yard penalty first down in the NFC
42:19Central this is the way it stands or stood when the day
42:23began in Troy Green Bay at seven and five the Bears lost to Tampa
42:28Bay today so they're seven and six Minnesota six and six next
42:33game will be in Detroit 49ers from the town by Haley how much
42:54longer Jim McMahon can play you know if he has a real good team
43:01and a good defense you know he can play if it if the thing goes
43:06on him where he has to do it all you know he's not going to be
43:10able to do that I think when you talk about Jim McMahon is a
43:16great competitor he's a player he's a tough guy Salisbury back
43:22to Anthony Carter Anthony Carter gets out of the 39 and now the
43:34NFC West standing San Francisco after that shocking loss to
43:38Atlanta yesterday at nine and four New Orleans lost today
43:41they're seven and six Atlanta with playoff possibilities at six
43:46and seven and San Francisco I think is going to next week
43:49against Detroit have to do the same thing that Jimmy Johnson
43:53was talking about the Cowboys doing now you have to get on a
43:56roll you have to start to peak as you go in Scotty Graham
44:03outside the forty five to about the forty seven and then the
44:07other thing you have to worry about you have to worry about
44:10injuries I mean if you look you know the 49ers I don't know if
44:14you know Steve Young got hurt Steve Wallace didn't play Ricky
44:18Waters get what today you see no step Nasky is hurt here for
44:22the Cowboys that's a big loss you see Alvin Harper and Harvard
44:26so you know I mean you not only have to get on a roll and play
44:30well but you have to you know be caught by his mail and be
44:38enough for Minnesota first down in Dallas territory at their 42
44:41block running at 714 left to play I think the Vikings came
44:47into this game and knew that this was their one last shot
44:52although in the central division you never know but if they're
44:54going to be in the playoffs I think they feel that they had to
44:58do it today and they didn't do it today.
45:00Here's a look at this game.
45:15Around Russell Maryland stays on his feet stays in bounds at
45:19about the thirty seven this game is presented by authority of the
45:28Minnesota Vikings.
45:30It is prohibited for the private use of our audience.
45:33Any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the
45:36express written consent of CBS the Minnesota Vikings and the
45:40National Football League is prohibited.
45:43No Troy Aikman would just draw a picture of that he may have a
45:46new contract by next Wednesday.
45:53Derek today all the time.
45:55They have some kind of rule that if they sign him before
45:58Wednesday he doesn't go on next
46:00year's cap when you start talking about.
46:03I don't understand a lot of that stuff but it doesn't happen
46:05by by Wednesday.
46:08Troy Aikman could be a lot wealthier next week at this
46:11time than he is today.
46:17It's interesting Troy get on the good looking cap.
46:20Nate Dukes has got the pass is complete.
46:25That's a big win for Troy talk about Nate pulling up his pants.
46:40He's a heck of a player.
46:42Well you know that whole cowboy line Mark doing they had a
46:45little trouble there with Goldman that whole cowboy line
46:48going in playing with the flu played well.
46:51He's going to have to step up
46:52Naskia Jolly got hurt by Norton
47:04the fans are going to say Sean
47:05Salisbury should have done it
47:06earlier and the Vikings should
47:08have done this the whole time.
47:10Of course the score is not the
47:12same.
47:12The time's not the same and the
47:17intensity is not the same.
47:19You know and eventually I'll
47:20say you know Toretta that number
47:2213 there will end up starting
47:24somewhere on this Viking team
47:26for the end of the season.
47:28And on Mr. Graham he's wrapped
47:30up by Tony Casillas Russell
47:34Maryland Jimmy Jones also there
47:37is Jerry Jones see Mike Lerman
47:41was checking out his suit he's
47:42checking out the guy's coat and
47:44wondering how much that cost him
47:46probably.
47:48I'll tell you if he if this guy
47:50gets out of here better keep
47:52these two guys very very happy.
47:54Yeah he's very very happy.
47:56I know that he's walked when he
47:59got out of the game he came down
48:22if you're looking for someone
48:23I'll tell you Anthony Carter is
48:25not a bad guy to look for.
48:26He's got a touchdown catch.
48:28Anthony Carter now has 51 career
48:32touchdown receptions and that
48:34surpasses Sammy White for the
48:36number one all time leader in
48:39Viking history over the years
48:42he's been a very very exciting
48:43receiver point by Ravine
48:48Salisbury seven out of seven on
48:50that drive.
48:52That was a pretty good drive and
48:53then the guy he threw it to of
48:56the years that he's given with
48:57the with the touchdowns and as a
49:00kick returner and he's been a
49:03good player for a long time
49:05playing with a bad hand.
49:07He's got a broken finger on his
49:09right hand.
49:10You can see I think the broken
49:12part is right up in here.
49:13Dennis Green said if he gets hit
49:15in this area that's where it
49:17would really hurt him.
49:18But he had a soft cast on there
49:20you can see the cast is
49:22underneath the glove but he's
49:24wearing a cast and the glove
49:26over there.
49:28And we're talking about Sean
49:29Salisbury having the Christmas
49:30tree in the back of his head.
49:32How do you do that.
49:33I mean first of all you have to
49:35make that design then you have
49:37to get it that color.
49:38I think I think this is bleach.
49:41I think he bleached it in there.
49:42Well I know you've got to have
49:44some help.
49:45I hope someone didn't think that
49:46that was bleached.
49:48I said that and then you have
49:52the old Viking fans you know
49:54the kind you I mean you put this
49:56you put that horn thing on this
49:58guy here I have no idea how you
49:59get the idea to do that.
50:01Get up early.
50:02Yeah.
50:02You know how do you wake up and
50:04say well yeah I think I'll paint
50:07my face one color here and the
50:09other color here and just go
50:10watch your ballgame.
50:11That's a guy you're talking
50:12about Stepnowski getting hurt
50:13get out getting out getting out
50:14of bed.
50:15That guy could get hurt getting
50:17out of bed.
50:17That guy could get hurt getting
50:18out of bed.
50:19That guy could get hurt getting
50:20out of bed.
50:34These will do interesting things
50:35here the last time when we were
50:36here a couple of years ago for
50:38the Super Bowl I always wanted
50:39to find out what ice fishing was
50:41all about.
50:42Yeah.
50:42And I went ice fishing.
50:43It was fun.
50:44I mean we caught fish and we
50:46caught fish.
50:47You like fish ever had liked it
50:48so much you haven't been.
50:49We've been here twice this year
50:51you didn't go in.
50:51I don't think it's a season yet.
50:53I was going out there to look
50:55and I don't think the ice is
50:56hard enough yet.
50:57Oh yeah.
50:57No I don't think so.
51:00I didn't take a heater and I
51:01didn't take a hot either.
51:02I mean I sat right out there
51:04being my people right out there
51:05on a bucket.
51:07There's lots of wall.
51:08I have to ask me how did you
51:09cook the fish if you didn't take
51:11a heater.
51:12No no.
51:13Later on the bus we put the fish
51:14on the way back to town.
51:16I mean it was a good fresh fish.
51:21See I went out here.
51:22See.
51:23And I was looking here and you
51:24can't ice fish here.
51:25See it's not frozen yet.
51:26What's this guy doing.
51:28Was that guy is fishing.
51:29I get caught.
51:32Oh holy.
51:35See when I did it though I did
51:36that.
51:36That's called you just you know
51:38you move your pole up and down.
51:40But I had a little bucket back
51:42here that I sat on to do it.
51:43In fact here's a guy's bucket
51:44right there.
51:45You can sit right on this
51:46bucket and then do what he's
51:48doing there.
51:48That's how I did it.
51:50Now what's in my report.
51:51My question is what's he doing.
51:53Ice fish.
51:55Thank you.
51:57Lincoln Coleman.
52:00Bernie Kosar is the Dallas
52:03quarterback.
52:08Remember all the stir when Bernie
52:10Kosar came here they.
52:12Cowboys signed him after Bill
52:13Belichick.
52:15He was a little injured.
52:16I thought that his skills had
52:17diminished.
52:19Boys gave him a million dollars.
52:21And he played the next week.
52:23I think I think that hurt the
52:24Cowboys a little serious.
52:25I think Aikman Aikman being
52:27injured hurt him.
52:28I think him coming in Aikman
52:30negotiating contract right now
52:32on the sideline.
52:33I think when they brought Kosar
52:35in there I think they went a
52:36little sideways.
52:37Yeah.
52:39To.
52:45Talk about the starters on that
52:47Dallas offensive line.
52:48Big strong starters they got one
52:50of the back best backup line.
52:53In football and John Giese.
52:55That's right and he's had a big
52:56day today too.
52:58And you see Jerry Jones here he
53:00was shaking his head too much to
53:01be saying no I mean that head
53:02was going up and down the whole
53:04time.
53:05You see it.
53:06It's when it goes sideways back
53:07and forth is when it's bad is
53:08when it goes up and down.
53:10It's when it's good.
53:12And Aikman has a little smile on
53:13there I think I think Aikman is
53:15very very close to a new big
53:17contract.
53:23He drives a truck.
53:28He's going to get nervous after
53:30what he just said he didn't like
53:31what he said he was cheap.
53:34He is the ball carrier this time
53:37Tommy he was with the Cowboys
53:39earlier in the year left for a
53:40couple of weeks came back one of
53:42the one of the favorite players.
53:45On this team.
53:47One of the best best like by his
53:48teammates.
53:50Two minutes left to play as the
53:52Cowboys lead it.
53:54Thirty seven to twenty.
54:00Two minutes left the Cowboys
54:02leading Minnesota thirty seven
54:03to twenty.
54:06What kind of fish did you catch
54:07when you went ice fishing.
54:08Walleye.
54:09Caught some walleye and
54:10something else I forgot what the
54:12something else was.
54:13I'm going to go get my man go
54:15get he's done he's done he's
54:16starting to take that tape off
54:18with a star on the head.
54:19How did he decide to get a star
54:21in his head.
54:21I mean how do you wake up and
54:23decide.
54:24I think today I'll get a star.
54:25I mean how do you do that.
54:26How do you do stuff.
54:28First of all maybe you're not
54:29awake.
54:30Second and nine.
54:33That's always how you can tell
54:34when an offensive lineman is
54:35done when he starts taking the
54:37tape off.
54:38Jim McMahon's son Sean.
54:40He was nine years old yesterday.
54:42Happy birthday.
54:43Look what.
54:44Look at the hat he's wearing.
54:45Well you know.
54:45Yeah.
54:46Yeah.
54:47Well you know yesterday when he
54:48was saying we said what's your
54:49favorite team.
54:50And I thought it would be
54:51Vikings.
54:52Sure.
54:53He said his favorite teams are
54:54Cowboys.
54:57He doesn't like ice cream and
54:58cake.
54:59No.
54:59He just wanted pizza.
55:02Oh.
55:03That.
55:04That's a good one.
55:05That's a good one.
55:05That's a good one.
55:05That's a good one.
55:06That's a good one.
55:07That can be trouble.
55:09How did you decide to do that.
55:10I mean you know the night before
55:11he's going to make up some
55:12stupid sign and then wear that
55:14thing.
55:15How about.
55:17How about your opponents.
55:18You talk about stupid signs.
55:25Lincoln Coleman the ball carrier.
55:31To an A's still in there.
55:33Remember he left part of the
55:34game because dehydration has
55:36been trying to get oxygen all
55:38day fighting off Chris Doleman
55:40there.
55:41Nate Newton still playing.
55:42Eric Williams on the other side.
55:47Those guys you know really form
55:49the foundation.
55:50I mean I know about the eight
55:52wins and the Irvings and you
55:53know and Evan Smith and that's
55:55all and they're all great
55:55players.
55:56Norm Turner calls great plays
55:58but that front group did was a
56:00pretty good job.
56:01That's a pretty good job.
56:18Dale Hamer coachment defense
56:20number 56 five yards.
56:24This guy on the sideline he's
56:28the one who tells the teams we
56:32call him a red hat but it's a
56:33red glove really an orange one
56:35the CBS Sports had on Stan
56:36Wolfson.
56:37He has done every game that the
56:40Minnesota Vikings have played.
56:43That's not just indoors.
56:44No.
56:45I used to play it out in the
56:46elements and when you're playing
56:48out there and hitting weather
56:49that's not just indoors.
56:50That's not just indoors.
56:51That's not just indoors.
56:52That's when you're playing out
56:53there and hitting weather that
56:54goes all the way back to when
56:56the team was formed in 1961.
56:59Now that's a fan and that's a
57:01player and he is officially Stan
57:06Wolfson not Emmitt Smith.
57:09The gentleman we were showing
57:10you a minute ago is officially
57:11retiring after this game.
57:13That is some streak back to
57:151961.
57:16Now he can go ice fishing.
57:17Like I said it's still not ice
57:19fishing season though because I
57:20don't stand he'll have a lot of
57:21time to go ice fishing.
57:23Well he was in every day.
57:25He was the red hat.
57:26Call those things when I was
57:27playing for goodness sake.
57:30That is a long time ago.
57:37Here's the remaining schedule
57:38for the Cowboys the Jets next
57:40week on Saturday.
57:42Washington in Dallas and then
57:43at the Giants.
57:44That's the game you were talking
57:45about before and we'll be there.
57:47That could be for the whole
57:48thing.
57:49I'll tell you the way the
57:50Cowboys look today they look
57:52like they're back on the right
57:54road.
57:56Indeed they do.
57:58Thirty seven to 20 a victory
58:00over the Minnesota Vikings.
58:02First time they've been here
58:03since 1983.
