00:00:00They're just going to throw a quick out here to Morgan.
00:00:02Now Morgan has great speed, and you see the way Larry Brown looks.
00:00:06He takes a couple steps back, they just complete that ball at the line of scrimmage,
00:00:10and he comes up, makes the hit, and then holds on until some help gets there.
00:00:16So it's third down.
00:00:19They need four.
00:00:22Bob changing.
00:00:25Watch for the tight end.
00:00:28And here's the flag down.
00:00:29They took too much time.
00:00:33That's why it's delayed by the offense five yards, still third down.
00:00:38Yeah, that's right.
00:00:39You know, you talk about home field advantage and home crowd.
00:00:42That's where, that's where it is.
00:00:43You very seldom see that happen at home.
00:00:46And that's what Mike Holmgren was talking about yesterday.
00:00:49How difficult it is to play here.
00:00:50Yeah, and how difficult, you know, it's tougher to pass protect on the road
00:00:55because you guys don't hear as well.
00:00:56It's tougher to audibilize because you guys don't hear as well.
00:01:01Third and nine now, as far back to throw.
00:01:03He had four wide receivers.
00:01:06The pass is incomplete.
00:01:08Robert Brooks was in that area.
00:01:13But so were two Cowboy defenders.
00:01:16And he was covered well.
00:01:17He didn't have anything to throw to.
00:01:19He, he either, he either threw that ball away or he forced it in there
00:01:22or he forced it in there because there was, there was nothing open there.
00:01:27Well, when he throws it away, you better get ready.
00:01:31It is thrown away.
00:01:34Craig Hendrick back to putt Kevin Williams deep for Dallas.
00:01:38Although Deion Sanders did catch one of his throwaways.
00:01:42Kevin Williams is about to.
00:01:44Not this time.
00:01:46The Packers are down in a hurry.
00:01:47They hurried to kick two by Hendrick Keith Crawford down to make the stop.
00:01:51And here's Aikman.
00:01:54And if his first half is a second half is like his first was, it's going to be pretty good.
00:02:01Sunday is brought to you by the all new Ford Taurus.
00:02:03A look you've never seen from a name.
00:02:05You know, well.
00:02:06It's the Ford Taurus.
00:02:07It's the Ford Taurus.
00:02:08It's the Ford Taurus.
00:02:09It's the Ford Taurus.
00:02:10It's the Ford Taurus.
00:02:10It's the Ford Taurus.
00:02:11It's the Ford Taurus.
00:02:12It's the Ford Taurus.
00:02:13You know, well, by Dockers, flat front khakis, proud makers of nice pants and by IBM solutions for a small planet.
00:02:24You said that Craig Hendrick was rushed on that kick.
00:02:27And usually when a guy takes a first step like this, he'll usually be rushed.
00:02:31If you look at that, at that punt, when something like this happens and his first step is like this, I would say he is going to be rushed.
00:02:39That looks like something you do in ballet.
00:02:42When you have to do that, that thing is going to be, come out of there differently than a spiral.
00:02:47It looks like something I don't want to try to do.
00:02:51Aikman gets it to Adam Smith.
00:02:53Out to the 20.
00:02:57And we talk about the job that the offensive line has done.
00:03:00And here, this is the first half.
00:03:02And just look at this.
00:03:03Troy Aikman has no pressure on him.
00:03:05He hasn't been sacked yet.
00:03:06He's only been hurried one time.
00:03:08He was only knocked down one time.
00:03:11Has no batted passes, no interceptions, and hasn't been forced to scramble.
00:03:15Which is a big one, because he said before the game, there's no way I can scramble.
00:03:18He can't run forward and he can't back out.
00:03:22But he still has a pretty good first half.
00:03:25Adam Smith is hit behind the line of scrimmage.
00:03:28Wayne Simmons.
00:03:33One thing Reggie White was going to do is, he was going to work on Eric Williams today.
00:03:37Because Reggie usually lines up over the tight end.
00:03:41And they move him over the guard and the center and the other side.
00:03:44Today, he's lined up 34 times.
00:03:46Or every snap, he's lined up right over Eric Williams.
00:03:49So, if the Packers think that there is a weakness in that offensive line.
00:03:55The guy they chose was Eric Williams.
00:03:58And I don't know about that.
00:03:59He may be hurt.
00:04:00But to me, he's still one of the best.
00:04:02Reggie's lined up way outside this time.
00:04:05Bogo.
00:04:06Aikman hits Novacek.
00:04:12First down, Cowboy.
00:04:14And again, you see that time that he had.
00:04:16We're going to watch Eric Williams here.
00:04:18He's going to block Reggie.
00:04:19Reggie's going to try and beat him to the outside.
00:04:21But he can't do it.
00:04:22Eric Williams is watching him all the way.
00:04:24He starts, he just gets his hands out there.
00:04:26Boom, right there.
00:04:27Then he gives him one more push.
00:04:29Right there.
00:04:30And that one pushes him beyond Troy Aikman.
00:04:33Troy Aikman could step up into the pocket.
00:04:36Dallas first down at their own 33.
00:04:39Reggie pretty soon is going to use that club and go inside.
00:04:42This is Emmitt.
00:04:43And Emmitt gets to the line of scrimmage.
00:04:45No more.
00:04:46The Packers have done, with a couple of exceptions,
00:04:48a good job of stopping Emmitt Smith.
00:04:52But, Gabe Wilkins was in there.
00:04:54You see big number 98.
00:04:55He just kind of played like a short yardage defense
00:04:58where he got down there low and got underneath everything
00:05:02and plucked it up before Emmitt Smith could get to the line
00:05:05or find one of those lanes to run in.
00:05:09John Yurkovich, number 64, was saying to us yesterday,
00:05:12you stop Emmitt 85% of the time
00:05:14and all of a sudden he gashes you with one.
00:05:19Here's Aikman.
00:05:23And that's the first time he's been down with the ball today.
00:05:27Reggie White.
00:05:28And that makes Reggie have his 150th sack.
00:05:31The all-time leading sacker.
00:05:33That's the thing.
00:05:34We were talking about at some point he's going to go inside.
00:05:37He'd been lining up wide and now he started in tight
00:05:41and then just gave that arm under and went around Eric Williams,
00:05:44which is a better way than trying to get out wide and just run around him.
00:05:48See, he got right into him
00:05:50and then just lowered that right arm and went around him.
00:05:55Third and 13.
00:05:5825.
00:06:00Aikman back to throw.
00:06:03Has time.
00:06:04Michael Urban.
00:06:06Out of bounds.
00:06:08He came away with the ball, but he was out of bounds.
00:06:12Greg Newsom was right there with him now.
00:06:15I tell you, you talk to all the Packer defensive players
00:06:18and they really like this number 21.
00:06:21I think part of it is that the guy is such a competitor,
00:06:25he has so much class and he has so much confidence.
00:06:28He never did look.
00:06:30I mean, we've seen him in a couple games so far.
00:06:32He never did look like a rookie.
00:06:35And that's a tough challenge when you're out there one-on-one with Michael Urban.
00:06:43John Jett's kick is a good one.
00:06:45Jordan will feel it at the 22.
00:06:48And he is hit immediately.
00:06:51Jim Swantz down to make the stop.
00:06:56Reggie White, 150 and a half career sacks,
00:06:59the most in the history of the NFL.
00:07:01Reggie's in the middle of a hurricane on the Packer bench.
00:07:04Getting cooled off.
00:07:08Dallas leading Green Bay 17 to 3 in the third quarter.
00:07:129.22 left.
00:07:13What did you say, Reggie White looked like he was in a hurricane?
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17The things they have on a football field now.
00:07:20I mean, they've got stuff and you have to be,
00:07:22you have to have 150 sacks to get it blown right on you.
00:07:26Here's Favre going deep and he's got Morgan.
00:07:30And he was out there.
00:07:33Right now for a McDonald's game break,
00:07:35let's return to James Brown in our Hollywood studio.
00:07:38Had the Eagles offense getting healthy against Washington.
00:07:40Pete, quick one to Fred Barnett.
00:07:43That came in a close ending.
00:07:45Eagles up by 7 in the third.
00:07:47Back to Pat and John.
00:07:51And the Cowboys are up 17 to 3 at Texas Stadium.
00:07:549.16 left in the third and it's getting to the situation
00:07:57where the Packers need to make something happen.
00:07:59Well, they just tried.
00:08:00They tried to go on that deep one.
00:08:02It looked like they had a step,
00:08:03but they just didn't get it there.
00:08:05Favre will try it again.
00:08:08Underneath.
00:08:11Close to first down yard.
00:08:12He's not going to make it.
00:08:13Close to first down yard.
00:08:14He's not quite to William Henderson.
00:08:18I think that everyone learned from defense
00:08:21that one of the big things in the NFL today on defense
00:08:25is having speed.
00:08:26And when Jimmy Johnson came here to the Dallas Cowboys,
00:08:29that was the idea.
00:08:30That was a defense that he brought.
00:08:32A defense based on speed of defensive linemen,
00:08:35speed of linebackers and defensive backs.
00:08:37And you can see it today.
00:08:39This is a Dallas Cowboys speed defense.
00:08:44And it's been copied around the league.
00:08:51Edgar Bennett tried to get the first down
00:08:53and I don't think he got it.
00:08:55You have to control the line of scrimmage.
00:08:57Whoever controls the line of scrimmage.
00:08:59The Cowboys have been doing it all day
00:09:01and they did it on this short yardage play.
00:09:03You're going to see right here.
00:09:04That's where they have to take it.
00:09:06They have to get that penetration right there.
00:09:08Russell Maryland gets it.
00:09:10They don't get any movement on Leon Lett
00:09:12trying to run right at Maryland and Lett.
00:09:14And they plug it up.
00:09:15They don't let any movement happen there.
00:09:19So the Packers will have to punt.
00:09:21Hendrick to Kevin Williams.
00:09:25Boy, that upsets a coach.
00:09:27When you have that short yardage like that,
00:09:29you get stuffed.
00:09:30And they were stuffed.
00:09:33Williams.
00:09:38Humbled.
00:09:40And a scramble.
00:09:43Reggie Barnes came up with it.
00:09:46For the Cowboys.
00:09:527-43 left to play after that 40-yard punt.
00:09:56Dallas leading 17-3.
00:10:00Emmitt Smith getting a little rest.
00:10:02Sherman Williams has taken his place.
00:10:05Nothing wrong with him and he should be back.
00:10:10Except he's tired.
00:10:11Aikman.
00:10:13Out to Williams.
00:10:16Out of bounds after a pickup of about 3 or 4.
00:10:19Doug Evans made the stop.
00:10:22Well, you know, Reggie got that sack now.
00:10:24So, you know, they talked about it on the sideline, I'm sure.
00:10:27And they said, well, let's calm him down.
00:10:29Now what they're going to do is they're going to give him a little help.
00:10:32They have Eric Williams take away the outside.
00:10:35Then they bring Larry Allen down to take away the inside.
00:10:39And now Reggie has to get through on that play to pass Rush.
00:10:42He'd have to get through about 650 pound a guy.
00:10:45At least.
00:10:50Flag on the play as Aikman gets it to Darrell Johnston.
00:10:56Who moves into Packer territory.
00:10:58Yeah, that's what they're doing now.
00:10:59They're having Larry Allen block his guy.
00:11:02Let him go have Donaldson come to that side.
00:11:04Then Larry Allen's coming out to help Eric Williams.
00:11:07They're kind of bumping and sliding on that side.
00:11:13Watch it here.
00:11:14Here's Larry Allen.
00:11:15Now what he's going to do, he's going to hit his guy.
00:11:18Then he's going to come out and he's going to help.
00:11:21He's going to help on Reggie White.
00:11:22See him bump, bump, bump and now come out.
00:11:24Let this guy go to the center.
00:11:26And then they end up with their double team on Reggie White.
00:11:31Reggie might have jumped.
00:11:34He doesn't like that being double team.
00:11:37He has to get some advantage.
00:11:38The penalty was declined after the completion.
00:11:40Here's Aikman back to throw it again.
00:11:56Aikman could hardly get down there to congratulate him.
00:11:58Great pass protection again.
00:12:01That time they get Darryl Johnson in to help block Reggie White.
00:12:12Good courage.
00:12:14Here's how they're going to block Reggie White.
00:12:16This time you're going to see Darryl Johnson number 48.
00:12:19You see him come out of there.
00:12:21Eric Williams has him.
00:12:22Here comes Johnson.
00:12:23If you're going to throw deep, he knows he needed a little extra time.
00:12:27So again, three plays in a row though.
00:12:29They put two guys on Reggie White.
00:12:31That's smart football.
00:12:32Napoleon for the extra point.
00:12:34Novacek holding.
00:12:38The extra point good.
00:12:41And the Cowboys lead it 24 to 3.
00:12:466-39.
00:12:47Left to play in the third quarter.
00:12:51There's three plays.
00:12:53Anytime you don't have enough plays to do something,
00:12:57then you're not going to do anything.
00:12:59You know what I mean?
00:13:00They didn't do anything.
00:13:02Of course, they never had the ball to do anything.
00:13:04You need to run a few plays.
00:13:06A few more than that.
00:13:07Here's Favre back to throw.
00:13:13What the heck was that?
00:13:16Out of the pocket.
00:13:18That's the key.
00:13:19He got out of the pocket and then just threw it upfield backhanded.
00:13:23Yeah, and once he gets out of the pocket,
00:13:25then there's no grounding, but watch the way he throws it away.
00:13:29I mean, that can be dangerous.
00:13:30There's Charles Haley again.
00:13:32Charles Haley's back there causing the havoc.
00:13:35Russell Maryland is just ready to get him,
00:13:37and he kind of threw it sidearm, backways, endover, and flop job.
00:13:41Sort of pushed it.
00:13:42That's what I always say about Charles Haley.
00:13:44I think Charles Haley's the best pass rusher in football.
00:13:47The Cowboys are going to go to the Super Bowl.
00:13:49They need him in there because he can raise more havoc than any player.
00:13:54Here's Favre back.
00:13:57Pass complete to Shemera.
00:14:00And that gets him a first down.
00:14:02Outside the 45, stopped by Darren Woodson.
00:14:05And I think that's what the, you know, even though it's 24-3,
00:14:09you still have to think, start getting some first downs so you have the ball.
00:14:13Then you get more plays to work with.
00:14:15Then you can do more things.
00:14:17When you don't get first downs, then it's all academic.
00:14:19Got to keep the ball more than four plays, three plays, two plays, whatever.
00:14:23And then that's all.
00:14:24If you don't get them blocked, if you don't handle the line of scrimmage,
00:14:27then all those other things are academic.
00:14:32First down.
00:14:33Bennett, the ball carrier, on the old Green Bay Suite.
00:14:38Gets into Dallas territory at about the 49.
00:14:40Tony Tolbert.
00:14:42Spill things.
00:14:46This is a thing.
00:14:47This is a play that you don't see as much anymore.
00:14:49You're starting to see now.
00:14:50Again, both guards pull.
00:14:52And then the back gets in behind him and stays in relationship with him
00:14:56and then cuts up off the guards block.
00:14:58You see the guards pull out there.
00:15:00The back out there has good relationship.
00:15:02Boom, he gets that block right there and goes to break off it.
00:15:05That block wasn't very good.
00:15:07Or that was really played well over there on that side by Larry Brown.
00:15:12Second and five.
00:15:14Here's Favre.
00:15:16Brooks.
00:15:17And the 20.
00:15:20You know, the Cowboys have done an interesting thing
00:15:23and they've moved Clayton Holmes over to the right side
00:15:26and moved Larry Brown over to the left side.
00:15:29I think part of that is getting ready for Deion Sanders
00:15:33because Deion Sanders is going to play the right side
00:15:36and Larry Brown will probably go over and play the left side
00:15:40and Clayton Holmes will be the fifth or sixth defensive back.
00:15:43And part of it, too, was the fact that people had started to work on Clayton Holmes.
00:15:49Yeah, and passing more to that right side.
00:15:53Three wide receivers for Green Bay.
00:15:56And Favre back to throw.
00:15:59A man open is Brooks.
00:16:01Out of bounds at the nine.
00:16:03They maybe make it the eighth.
00:16:05You know, when you play a right-handed quarterback, though,
00:16:07there are going to be more good passes
00:16:09or more perfect passes thrown to the right than to the left.
00:16:13And you watch Brett Favre here, it doesn't make any difference who's over there,
00:16:17if it's Larry Brown or Clayton Holmes.
00:16:19If they play that far off and give you the out,
00:16:22he should take that thing all day.
00:16:26First and goal at the eighth.
00:16:28They go with two tight ends.
00:16:32Still plenty of time, 3.20 left in the third quarter.
00:16:37Green Bay at the door.
00:16:40Favre is pumped.
00:16:43Batted away by one of the Cowboy defenders who is intended for Chimura.
00:16:51Or Chimera.
00:16:54What they were trying to do is they started running him on a short out.
00:16:57Somebody got a hand up in there.
00:16:59Like he was going to run the short out, and then he ran the short out and up.
00:17:05It looks like it was Darren Woodson who came across and made that play.
00:17:09It was Larry Brown.
00:17:11We were talking about Larry Brown being back there.
00:17:14They were working on the linebacker, trying to get it on Dixon Edwards,
00:17:18and Larry Brown came in behind him.
00:17:21Three wide receivers, Bennett gets the carry,
00:17:24and he's down inside the five of the four.
00:17:27Dixon Edwards and Robert Jones.
00:17:31Mike Holmgren, one of the few head coaches that calls the plays himself.
00:17:36He talks directly into the microphone to call the play,
00:17:41and then, of course, that goes right into the helmet of Brett Favre.
00:17:47Third and goal at the four.
00:17:50Favre to throw.
00:18:02Maybe.
00:18:03Favre to run.
00:18:04Touchdown Packers.
00:18:11That's the thing that Packers needed was just a drive,
00:18:14and it all starts with getting some first downs.
00:18:16When you get first downs, then you get more play.
00:18:19They started hitting the cheese, and now it comes out.
00:18:21Now it all comes out, and they start high-cheesing each other.
00:18:26You know, you wonder, and you look, and you say,
00:18:29why haven't you been doing that all day?
00:18:31Why did you do that?
00:18:32You found something you could do.
00:18:33Why did it take so long to find it?
00:18:35But as you said, they still have plenty of time.
00:18:39One of the reasons they haven't found it is that Dallas has had the ball all the time.
00:18:43Because they didn't keep it long enough when they had it.
00:18:46Right.
00:18:47How many of those three and outs?
00:18:49227 left in the third quarter.
00:18:5224-10 Dallas over Green Bay.
00:18:56Well, she's out in public.
00:19:01Well, the good news is they look like they still like each other.
00:19:04Yeah.
00:19:05Well, it's only been one day.
00:19:07Yeah, but, I mean, he has to be something.
00:19:09I mean, to get married yesterday and wear a jersey that says number four on it
00:19:15and take his wife the first day that, you know, their husband and wife,
00:19:19take them to a football game, that's pretty good.
00:19:25Look, they're standing up again.
00:19:27Take a bow.
00:19:28Take a bow.
00:19:30She has a Reggie White jersey there.
00:19:32Yeah.
00:19:34A white wedding dress on, a Reggie White jersey, and a Green Bay cap.
00:19:38And he's wearing a Brett Favre jersey.
00:19:41With a sport coat.
00:19:44Emmett Smith is back in the game and deep.
00:19:47Aikman gets it outside and overtakes.
00:19:52Out of bounds at the 27 by Wayne Simmons.
00:19:57Yeah, I think anyone that plays these Cowboys always has to think, you know,
00:20:03what do you do?
00:20:04I mean, do you gang up on the run and take Emmett Smith away?
00:20:08Then you have Michael Irvin and Jay Novacek.
00:20:11You pass rush and try and, you know, cover,
00:20:15and then you have Emmett Smith running on you.
00:20:17And it's a dilemma that you try and mix up, but there's really no answer to it.
00:20:21Second and three.
00:20:24This time it's Emmett.
00:20:28And he gets it up for the first down.
00:20:31Yeah, and he's following Daryl Johnston most of the time.
00:20:33Again, you know, we said how Daryl Johnston helped him.
00:20:36He'll catch a pass.
00:20:37He'll help on pass protection.
00:20:39He leads.
00:20:40And I think of all the tough things that the Cowboys do on offense,
00:20:46I think number 48, Daryl Johnston, does most of the tough things.
00:20:51There's somebody hitting him on every play.
00:20:54Well, he has to lead like that last play.
00:20:56And he leads with his head.
00:20:57I mean, he just runs in and boom, just sticks his head in.
00:21:00He used to be like 6'6".
00:21:02It's a break when he gets to go in motion.
00:21:06He was out in front of Emmett Smith again on that play.
00:21:08He was stopped by George Teague.
00:21:12But he not only blocks, but he blocks well.
00:21:15I mean, that time, you know, I mean, he leads inside.
00:21:17That time he led to the outside on George Koontz.
00:21:20And, you know, I mean, it's one thing to block.
00:21:23Now, just watch him here.
00:21:24I mean, that's a blocking position.
00:21:25He's going to go out and get the linebacker out there, number 53.
00:21:29I mean, he not only gets out there, but watch him.
00:21:32Boom, he hits him and he knocks him down.
00:21:34Takes him out of the play.
00:21:37Some guys can want to do it and get out there and get around it,
00:21:39but not do it like that.
00:21:41Here's Aikman.
00:21:42Novacek, wide open.
00:21:45Novacek into Packer territory, out of bounds at the 43-yard lines of Dream Bay.
00:21:50Well, that's that layered pass pattern they had.
00:21:52Daryl Johnson was short.
00:21:54Jay Novacek was middle.
00:21:57And Kevin Williams was deep.
00:21:5929-yard pickup.
00:22:01That's just a layered thing.
00:22:02So, he can look to the short guy, the medium guy, or the deep guy.
00:22:06You see Kevin Williams was coming deep.
00:22:08He ran him off deep, and then Jay Novacek was able to come in and get it.
00:22:12What here we're going to have, if we stop it right there,
00:22:17we see here's the deep, here's the middle, there's the short.
00:22:20The guy that hit was the middle guy.
00:22:23Here's Aikman.
00:22:28Kevin Williams this time.
00:22:32One thing he will do is he'll move it around.
00:22:35That's the second pass for Kevin Williams.
00:22:37Mostly Michael Irvin, Emmett Smith, Jay Novacek, but Kevin Williams got his too.
00:22:43And that's going to be the end of the third quarter.
00:22:47Dallas leading Dream Bay 24-10.
00:22:52For a guy with one leg.
00:23:00Makes to Emmett Smith, throws the screen pass to Darrell Johnston,
00:23:04and the Moose has some room.
00:23:07Like we said, he gets hit on every play.
00:23:09The old Moose only knows one way to go to it, and that's straight up the middle.
00:23:12When the Moose gets the ball, there's no moves.
00:23:15He's not going to give you any of that hip stuff or any of that hucking buck.
00:23:18He just gets it and goes straight up the field.
00:23:21Look, the old play fake, sneak the old Moose out to the left here,
00:23:25get a screen pass, boom, a good block there,
00:23:27and then he just runs straight up into anything he can find.
00:23:30Not many dances.
00:23:32No.
00:23:33Or no hip movement at all.
00:23:35It was just straight up and blast.
00:23:37The Moose hurt Fred Strickland with that blast.
00:23:43Watch the blast here.
00:23:46Watch the blast here.
00:23:48I mean, there's no sideways, there's no hips going,
00:23:50there's no head fake, and there's nothing.
00:23:52There's just straight ahead going until someone knocks you sideways.
00:23:56And he scatters a few bodies along the way too.
00:23:59And then you get up and you say, this is fun.
00:24:03That's what I say.
00:24:04He used to be 6'6", and I don't know, I think he's about like 5'10".
00:24:09I think he is.
00:24:13Because everything he does, he leads with his head.
00:24:20You know, this is part of the thing, Green Bay comes in,
00:24:24leading the league in defense,
00:24:26and a lot of those statistical things are who you play.
00:24:30You play Jacksonville, you play the Giants,
00:24:32it's a little easier to lead the league in defense,
00:24:35and then you come in and you play a real offensive team,
00:24:39which the Dallas Cowboys are, and that will change your statistics.
00:24:44It'll move you down in the standing.
00:24:47That's when you have, like, Michael Irvin breaking records,
00:24:49seven catches already, Jay Novacek, six.
00:24:56This is Emmett Smith.
00:24:58Emmett Smith, touchdown.
00:25:02And that's pure Emmett Smith.
00:25:04And pure poor tackling.
00:25:08He's just worn down.
00:25:09I mean, this big offensive line, this big Dallas Cowboy offense
00:25:14has just worn down this Packer defense.
00:25:16They're just too good for him.
00:25:18Emmett, second of the day.
00:25:21You have to be able to stop the run, and you have to be, I don't care what level,
00:25:25whether you're Pop Warner, you're high school, you're college, you're pro,
00:25:28you have to be able to tackle.
00:25:31That's sort of the elementary lesson you learn
00:25:34when you first start to play the game.
00:25:36And that fundamental is going from this game.
00:25:40And that's too bad.
00:25:42Sponio's extra point is good.
00:25:4631-10.
00:25:50The Cowboys over the Packers with 14-11 left to play.
00:25:56NFL Sunday is brought to you by Volkswagen.
00:25:58On the road of life, there are passengers and there are drivers.
00:26:01Drivers want it.
00:26:02By Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
00:26:04Get it while it's hot.
00:26:05And by DirecTV.
00:26:07It's personalized TV.
00:26:11Remember all that good-looking livestock we saw earlier?
00:26:14Well, that's the guy who lives in the house that owns the livestock
00:26:17that's in that area.
00:26:18You know, one of those things I saw walk by one time was the Longhorn.
00:26:23Oh, yeah.
00:26:24Yeah, that big white one with the big horn.
00:26:26That was a Texas Longhorn.
00:26:28When you've got Longhorns on your spread, you've got to spread.
00:26:32That guy's got to spread, believe me.
00:26:36Jordan.
00:26:40A big part of this is good running.
00:26:43A big part of it is good blocking by the Cowboys.
00:26:47But also a big part of it is just missed tackling.
00:26:49I mean, this is just terrible.
00:26:51I mean, when a guy can run through there
00:26:53and just have guys fall all over on the ground like that.
00:26:57And that causes this.
00:27:15Every time we play them, they kick our tails, what Reggie says.
00:27:21It doesn't seem like it's bothering anybody.
00:27:27Right now for a McDonald's game break,
00:27:30let's return to James Brown in our Hollywood studio.
00:27:33Hey, Pat, Gus Farradis hoping to own some property like we've been seeing.
00:27:36He's on his way.
00:27:37The counter boot helps the Redskins to tie up the Eagles at 24 all in the third.
00:27:42Right now, let's take it back to Irving, Pat, and John.
00:27:46Here in Irving at Texas Stadium, it's 31-10.
00:27:49Dallas leading Green Bay.
00:27:51Four wide receivers for the Packers.
00:27:58They're on their own 20.
00:28:12Pass complete to Jordan.
00:28:14And now the Cowboys have to remember to tackle.
00:28:17Almost broke it.
00:28:21Charles Jordan caught that ball on that slant.
00:28:24That's the way Jerry Rice catches all those slants with the 49ers
00:28:28where you throw that thing and you hit it on the run
00:28:30and then you just keep running right through the defense.
00:28:33And almost every time Jerry Rice catches it, he almost breaks it.
00:28:38Because he's always thinking of that.
00:28:40You know, I think that when you talk about the 49ers and Jerry Rice
00:28:44and the Cowboys and Michael Irving, you're talking about two of the best.
00:28:48Here's Farrad to throw it.
00:28:49Steps up into the pocket.
00:28:51Slung around.
00:28:53Haley had him.
00:28:54This is out to Bennett in a foot race with Tolbert.
00:28:58Bennett goes out of bounds.
00:29:01Haley, like he's strained something.
00:29:06I think he hurt himself on that play because he did, as you say,
00:29:09he's going to be right here.
00:29:10He makes a good pass rush on Ken Rutgers.
00:29:13You'll see him.
00:29:14He just comes to the outside.
00:29:16He gets that bull rush, you see, and he just ran over Rutgers.
00:29:19And he takes Favre and he got his shoulder in his pants
00:29:22and Favre went into a spin move.
00:29:25And he came out of the spin move.
00:29:27Look, he went into a spin and then he turns Charles into a spin.
00:29:31There's two guys doing spinners.
00:29:33But that was a heck of a rush by Charles Haley.
00:29:35Haley's out.
00:29:36Chante Carver's in.
00:29:38Pass intended for Brook.
00:29:40Intended, I beg your pardon.
00:29:43Clayton Holmes knocked down the pass intended for Mark Ingram.
00:29:47Yeah, and they put Clayton Holmes.
00:29:50He's over here on this side now.
00:29:52He's back on his side.
00:29:53Here he is right here.
00:29:54They're going to try and run that post on him where Mark Ingram is going to
00:29:57come up and then go inside, out, then back in.
00:30:01And Clayton Holmes plays it perfectly.
00:30:03He goes with him all the way and then right at the end when he's in the
00:30:06end zone, he jumps underneath it.
00:30:08That's good play.
00:30:10That's perfect play.
00:30:11Second and ten.
00:30:13Far back to throw it again.
00:30:18Just threw it in the direction of Brooks under pressure.
00:30:22Yeah, he also threw it in the direction of three cowboy defenders.
00:30:26Robert Brooks was the only Green Bay Packer there in the end zone
00:30:30and the Cowboys had three guys on him.
00:30:34At the end of this game, John and I'll select the middle light player of the
00:30:38game and I don't think there's much doubt about who that's going to be.
00:30:41No.
00:30:43I think if you didn't pick that guy, where you been?
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:48What have you been watching?
00:30:50Third and ten.
00:30:53Far back to throw.
00:30:54Chased again.
00:30:56Has a man open.
00:30:57It's Brooks.
00:30:58Out of bounds and it's a catch.
00:31:00He's short of the first down by about a half foot, I think.
00:31:04One of the things that you probably don't want to do on defense is force
00:31:08Brett Favre to throw ugly because he can throw ugly well.
00:31:11He throws ugly better than anybody, I think.
00:31:14He's better ugly than he is when he's got a pocket.
00:31:16And this is the thing that makes him throw ugly.
00:31:19Chad Hennings just breaks free up the middle and he just had to either get
00:31:23rid of that ball or he was going to take a big sack.
00:31:27He not only got rid of the ball, but he got rid of it for a completion.
00:31:31And they're measuring to see if it's a first down or not.
00:31:36Again, it's where the ball is when the guy goes out of bounds.
00:31:44First down, Green Bay.
00:31:5131-10, Dallas leading.
00:31:54Mike Holmgren goes into that place on the card where it says red zone.
00:31:58He has one area on that card.
00:32:01He has short yardage, goal line, regular play, first down play, second down,
00:32:04and one in the red zone.
00:32:06And the red zone is in the area that they're in now inside the 20-yard line.
00:32:13Just outside the 10 so they can make a first without scoring.
00:32:17Favre.
00:32:25Touchdown.
00:32:30Favre back across his body.
00:32:3211-yard touchdown pass.
00:32:34I was just saying that Brett Favre can throw ugly better than anyone.
00:32:38I think if you were playing him, you'd probably want to keep him in the park
00:32:41and make him throw on rhythm.
00:32:43Watch him here.
00:32:44He's going to get rushed out.
00:32:45And this is where he's dangerous.
00:32:47He pumps, he pumps.
00:32:48Now he has to start to run.
00:32:49And again, I think he throws better on the run than anyone.
00:32:52That one was kind of like a John Elway where you're running to the right.
00:32:55You have to have a strong arm to do that.
00:32:57Running to the right, throwing across your body to your left.
00:33:01Jackie for the extra point.
00:33:03Flag on the play.
00:33:07Cowboys, I believe, are offside so they'll decline this.
00:33:13Brett Favre has had success throwing against his cowboy defense.
00:33:16Remember Thanksgiving, he threw four touchdown passes against them.
00:33:19Well, he's got a record streak going.
00:33:22Number 47 on the defense.
00:33:24The extra point is good.
00:33:26Be five yards on the kickoff.
00:33:28And that's a timeout.
00:33:30That's just rolling to the right, throwing across his body,
00:33:33and putting a zip on it.
00:33:38Shimura with a touchdown pass catch.
00:33:4212-20 left to play.
00:33:44Dallas 31, Green Bay 17.
00:33:48Packers ready to kick off.
00:33:50Back deep for Dallas.
00:33:51Kevin Williams and Brock Marion.
00:33:54It's going to be Williams.
00:33:57And the one.
00:33:59Wilson Green.
00:34:01We're about the 23-24 yard line where the Cowboys will take over.
00:34:06This game presented by authority of the National Football League.
00:34:09Intended for the private use of our audience.
00:34:11Any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent
00:34:16of the Dallas Cowboys and the National Football League is prohibited.
00:34:20Well, we're going to see here if Reggie White's speech did any good.
00:34:23He was really upset the last time the Cowboys had the ball
00:34:26and went down and scored.
00:34:30He was wondering if anyone cared.
00:34:32He said, you know, every time we come here, they beat us like this.
00:34:38And nobody cares.
00:34:40Here's Eggman.
00:34:42He's hit just as he lets it go.
00:34:44That's incomplete.
00:34:45Intended for Irvin.
00:34:46And they're keeping Reggie over on that left side defense.
00:34:49But that right side offensive Cowboys is really good.
00:34:52I mean, Eric Williams, I've always said before he got hurt,
00:34:55is the best offensive lineman in football.
00:34:57And this guy who's lining up right next to him, that's Larry Allen.
00:35:01Here's Eric Williams.
00:35:02But this guy is becoming one of the best guards in football.
00:35:06I mean, and he just gets square on him too.
00:35:08And when Larry Allen gets square on you, you don't have any more penetration.
00:35:13You usually go the other direction.
00:35:21About a four or five-yard pick-up stop by Leroy Butler.
00:35:25I would think right now if I had to take a young guard,
00:35:29you know, that I was going to build a team around,
00:35:31I think I'd take Larry Allen.
00:35:32Oh, yeah.
00:35:33Because, I mean, even that last play there, just the way he fires out
00:35:36and run blocks, you know he can pass protect.
00:35:39Plus, he's got the same thing that Eric Williams has got.
00:35:41He's got a little bit of a mean streak.
00:35:43Yeah, I mean, that's a tough side.
00:35:45You know, Nate Newton was saying over on his side,
00:35:48he had two in a try and work everything out and intellectualize it.
00:35:53He said on the right side, they just aggressive it.
00:35:55Nate said they intellectualize it?
00:35:57Intellectualize it, yeah.
00:36:00He says they'll have a meeting, you know,
00:36:02and Hudson Hock, the offensive line coach, said, what are you doing?
00:36:05Nate said, I take this guy and we go here.
00:36:07He said, on the right side, Larry Allen says, we're just blocking aggressive.
00:36:1331-17.
00:36:19Back at Texas Stadium, Pat Summerall with John Madden, 31-17.
00:36:23Cowboys over the Packers.
00:36:26Michael Irvin splits wide left.
00:36:29Third and five.
00:36:30Three wide receivers.
00:36:36No flag.
00:36:38No to check incomplete.
00:36:40And the Cowboys will have to punch.
00:36:46Well, that's the thing that the Packers needed,
00:36:48because there are two touchdowns down.
00:36:50They know that they have to get a touchdown, get the ball back,
00:36:53get another touchdown to tie.
00:36:55So the first thing you have to do is stop them.
00:36:59They did that.
00:37:00And the next thing they got to do is go down and score a touchdown.
00:37:02That's John Jett, the Dallas punter.
00:37:07Back deep for Green Bay in the bright sun is Charles Jordan.
00:37:13And the punt is coming out of the shell.
00:37:16Might be tough to handle back there.
00:37:21High kick coming right out of the sun.
00:37:24Jordan handles.
00:37:3134-yard line.
00:37:33Bjornsson down to make the stop.
00:37:40There's the offensive line.
00:37:41They've done a heck of a job today.
00:37:43Eric Williams, you see they always sit together.
00:37:45I mean, Williams is outside.
00:37:46Allen's inside.
00:37:47And Nate Newton sits over there with 2 and 8.
00:37:50Now, if you look at the sweat contest today, Pat, Mark 2 and 8, he had none.
00:37:55Nate, I would say, was second, sweat going down the leg.
00:37:59Larry Allen's third.
00:38:00He has a little here.
00:38:01And then the winner is Eric Williams.
00:38:04His sweat went all the way down from his waist all the way down to his knee.
00:38:09The champion.
00:38:10Here's Favre back to throw.
00:38:12Cased by Haley.
00:38:13Gets away from Haley.
00:38:14Favre to Bennett, who makes the catch.
00:38:21At the 35-yard line of Dallas.
00:38:23This Brett Favre is something.
00:38:25And if you force him to run, and Charles Haley did.
00:38:27Charles Haley is lined up on the, he's coming from the right side.
00:38:31And right there, he forces him out to move.
00:38:34He starts to move out.
00:38:35And then, again, I think he does that better than anyone.
00:38:38Just running right or left, looking at a guy.
00:38:41And then his receivers do well, too.
00:38:43Because they know when Favre starts to scramble, he's looking for all of them.
00:38:47That's a heck of a catch by Bennett.
00:38:50Who gets the carry.
00:38:53Down to about the 31-yard line of Dallas.
00:38:57Cowboys leading 31-17, 10-18 left to play.
00:39:01Yeah, and that's plenty of time for the Green Bay Packers.
00:39:04I mean, they have time to score and then kick off
00:39:08and still not have to onside kick.
00:39:11And get the ball back again.
00:39:15I think Barry Switzer is starting to feel this one now.
00:39:17Yep.
00:39:18I think he felt he had the game under control until the Packers scored.
00:39:22And then their Packer defense stopped him.
00:39:24Second and five, Favre.
00:39:27Not much there.
00:39:30Clayton Holmes playing defense.
00:39:36If you look at Brett Favre, when he was in the pocket 17 times,
00:39:41three completions out of the pocket, 17 in the pocket,
00:39:4429 attempts in the pocket, six outside the pocket, 69 yards,
00:39:50again, when he's been outside the pocket and the one touchdown.
00:39:56Third and about six.
00:39:59Big five, call it, big down.
00:40:03Four wide receivers for Green Bay to give the ball to Bennett.
00:40:07And he looks like he got first down yardage for Green Bay.
00:40:10Stopped by Bill Bates.
00:40:15Yeah, Bates is in there because, again, it was third down
00:40:18and they were playing the pass.
00:40:20They had their nickel defense in with Bates in there.
00:40:24In fact, they have a defense that they call Nickel Bates
00:40:27where Bates is in there really as a middle linebacker.
00:40:31And one of the things that Mike Holmgren was talking about yesterday
00:40:34was running when you're supposed to pass
00:40:37and passing when you're supposed to run.
00:40:39And that time he just ran when he was supposed to pass.
00:40:42Nine and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter in the game.
00:40:45Dallas up 31-17.
00:40:47That's enough for a first down.
00:40:50Here's how Red Cash and the referee, if the visiting team gets a first down,
00:40:55he doesn't say anything.
00:40:56Right.
00:40:57And when the home team gets a first down, he really gives you that first down.
00:41:02He didn't give that at all.
00:41:03He was quiet on that one.
00:41:04Did you notice that?
00:41:05Didn't hear anything.
00:41:06First and 10.
00:41:07At about just outside the Dallas 25.
00:41:11Favre trying to get the attention of the rest of his players.
00:41:15The crowd's loud.
00:41:17And that's that problem you were talking about.
00:41:20That's where it is.
00:41:22A lot of passing play and pass protection.
00:41:24Earl Dotson, the right tackle moved on that one, number 72.
00:41:28For the snap.
00:41:29False start.
00:41:30Number 72 on the offense.
00:41:33Five yards, still first down.
00:41:35Again, that's the toughest thing because you can't hear,
00:41:39so then you have to anticipate and you know you have to pass protect.
00:41:42Boy, that is tough.
00:41:46Favre gets him out quickly.
00:41:51Clock running now is 9.09 left.
00:41:56Bennett in motion.
00:41:57Favre back to throw it.
00:42:01Brooks juggling, no catch.
00:42:04He went out of bounds.
00:42:05He held on, but he was on the back of Clayton Holmes as he went out of bounds.
00:42:11The official gave that up and down with the hands,
00:42:13and what that usually means is that he caught the ball,
00:42:16but he didn't have control when he was in bounds.
00:42:18He was bobbling it.
00:42:20I don't know.
00:42:21The ball breaks the plane there, and what the official was saying,
00:42:24that he didn't have control of it.
00:42:28But, again, where did the ball break the plane?
00:42:31See, if the ball just breaks the plane, that's a touchdown.
00:42:35That's a heck of a catch.
00:42:38And right here, when it goes across, I don't know that that's not a touchdown.
00:42:43I mean, he was in the end zone with the ball.
00:42:47Favre gets it to Brooks again.
00:42:51He gets back to about the original line of scrimmage,
00:42:54stopped by Clayton Holmes again.
00:42:56Holmes has started to play better.
00:42:58Well, you know, they put him over on the right side for a while,
00:43:01and they put Larry Brown over on his side,
00:43:03and then they switch back.
00:43:05And whether the Packers are working on Clayton Holmes,
00:43:09or like you say, maybe Brett Favre just being a right-handed quarterback
00:43:12probably just throws more to the right, which I think the Packers do.
00:43:17Third down.
00:43:19Three wide receivers for Green Bay.
00:43:26Haley jumps.
00:43:27Haley wraps up Favre.
00:43:32But I think Charles is offside.
00:43:36I mean, he still played it like a football player.
00:43:38I mean, he knew that he jumped offside, the whistle blew, and he stopped.
00:43:42I mean, he didn't give one of those stupid things where you throw the guy to the ground.
00:43:45Neutral zone violation.
00:43:47Number 94 on the defense.
00:43:49Five yards, still third down.
00:43:52I mean, that's why Charles Haley's a tough guy,
00:43:54because tough guys do things like that.
00:43:56I think the other guys, when they jump offside and slam a quarterback,
00:43:59I don't think that's a tough act.
00:44:01That's a cheap shot.
00:44:02That's a cheap shot, yeah.
00:44:08Third down.
00:44:10After the penalty's marked off, they need about five still.
00:44:13They're seven out of 12 on third down conversion.
00:44:18And again, they need two touchdowns, so they got two downs here.
00:44:21They're going to go third down and fourth down if they don't make it.
00:44:24Sure.
00:44:29Favre comes out, keeps the ball.
00:44:33Favre headed for the end zone, touchdown Green Bay.
00:44:39That's one advantage a quarterback has.
00:44:41He can use that ball to make a move, and he made a move on Brock Marion.
00:44:46He was past the line of scrimmage, and he gave Brock Marion, number 31, a pump fake.
00:44:51Brock Marion went for it, and then Favre just went in the end zone.
00:44:57Scrambling touchdown by Favre, and this is a dandy.
00:45:00He is some competitor.
00:45:02But watch him as he gets past the line of scrimmage.
00:45:04See, he had nothing there.
00:45:06Now watch him.
00:45:07He's past the line of scrimmage.
00:45:08You see that pump fake?
00:45:09Yep.
00:45:10That just helped Brock Marion there, and then he ran right into the end zone.
00:45:12Sure did.
00:45:15Jackie's extra point is good, and it's 31-24, still with 8-13 left to play.
00:45:22All Sunday is brought to you by Dr. Pepper and your local Dr. Pepper bottler.
00:45:33Dr. Pepper is just what the doctor ordered.
00:45:38I remember the day
00:45:41Remember all that good-looking livestock?
00:45:44Terry Bradshaw thinks they're good-looking.
00:45:46I knew that that spread had to be owned by a big, big man.
00:45:50Yep.
00:45:51The lake, the house, the ducks, the willow trees, the livestock, and the guy with the bad arm.
00:45:57And he played hurt, too.
00:45:58He just had surgery on, I think, his shoulder and his wrist.
00:46:01And his wrist, yeah.
00:46:04I'll tell you, he was tough against us in the Oakland Raiders for years and years.
00:46:07One of the toughest I ever played against.
00:46:09Clayton Holmes bringing it out of the end zone.
00:46:11Clayton Holmes.
00:46:15Outside the 40, about the 44.
00:46:21Watch the touchdown again here, but watch the double that they do on Charles Haley.
00:46:26Edgar Bennett, number 34, comes up and really, boom, he really picks him off there.
00:46:32He turns him sideways.
00:46:33That was a triple team on Haley.
00:46:35And there's the pump fake by far.
00:46:37This first time in his career he has rushed for two touchdowns in the same game.
00:46:46Brett Favre was a competitor.
00:46:4831-24.
00:46:55Pitch back to Emmett Smith.
00:46:58Emmett midfield.
00:47:00Got about six.
00:47:02Joe Kelly made the stop.
00:47:03You wonder if that talk that Reggie gave about a half hour ago is still working.
00:47:09That's about as emotional as you'll see Reggie get.
00:47:13Well, you know, and it was after that touchdown by Emmett Smith where they had three or four missed tackles
00:47:17and the Cowboys just marched right down the field on them.
00:47:20And Reggie knew and the whole Packer team knew that if we're going to be in this game,
00:47:25we've got to stop them so we can get the ball back for our offense
00:47:28because their offense can move the ball against this Cowboy defense.
00:47:32Reggie said you guys don't seem to care.
00:47:34Here's Aikman back to throw.
00:47:36Gets it outside to Novacek.
00:47:38A little bit short of the first down.
00:47:41Run out of bounds by Leroy Butler.
00:47:43Today's game being produced by Bob Stinner, directed by Sandy Grossman.
00:47:47The studio was produced by Scott Akerson, directed by Bob Levy.
00:47:51The executive producers of Fox Sports are Ed Gorin and David Hill.
00:47:57I think when you play defense against the Cowboys,
00:48:00you have to start in that first quarter with a sense of urgency.
00:48:03You can't wait for the urgency to set in the second half because by then they'll lay you away.
00:48:08By then the operation's almost over.
00:48:11Yeah.
00:48:13Novacek.
00:48:16Did you get it?
00:48:19A little bit short.
00:48:21Four links.
00:48:22Four chain links.
00:48:24Four chain links.
00:48:26Straight chain links.
00:48:29No kinks.
00:48:31So everyone has a play for four chain links.
00:48:37Well, if you have a healthy quarterback, you think a quarterback's neat.
00:48:41Yeah, but that's the last thing that the Cowboys are going to run today.
00:48:45I mean, I think this has to be one where you get Darrell Johnston leading
00:48:52and you get Emmitt Smith carrying the ball when you're third and four links.
00:48:57That would be what you think of.
00:49:00E. Smith is a four linker.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:04I don't know.
00:49:05This may be a play pass, though.
00:49:06Yeah, it could be.
00:49:07Because they're spending a long time in the huddle calling the play.
00:49:12And you don't spend a long time in the huddle calling a running play.
00:49:16I wouldn't be surprised if this were a play pass where you fake the run and throw a pass.
00:49:24It's Smith deep, Darrell Johnston in front of him.
00:49:28Smith.
00:49:30And he got the first down.
00:49:32It just took a long time to say, Emmitt, I'll hand it to you,
00:49:35and you follow Darrell Johnston in there.
00:49:37Maybe they all didn't know what four links was.
00:49:41Just get in there behind Nate Newton and Ray Donaldson and Larry Allen
00:49:45and follow number 48 and you'll pick up more than four links.
00:49:5331-24.
00:49:55Clock running six and a half minutes left.
00:49:59Two tight ends.
00:50:05Here's Eggman back to throw it.
00:50:09Incomplete intended for Michael Irvin.
00:50:13Right now, let's send you back to Hollywood for James Brown and a game break.
00:50:17Seesaw affair at Soja Field.
00:50:19Pat, take a look.
00:50:20Eric Famer play action as he causes his third touchdown pass.
00:50:23This one to Ryan Wettknecht.
00:50:2524-20 Chicago in the fourth.
00:50:27Back to Pat and John.
00:50:3031-24 Dallas in the fourth at Texas Stadium.
00:50:33Pat Summerall with John Madden.
00:50:37Second and ten to Green Bay 43.
00:50:41Packers need the ball.
00:50:436'17 left.
00:50:46Eggman's voice creaked a little bit, didn't it?
00:50:48Here's Emmitt Smith, and he tripped and fell down.
00:50:51Oh, and he had one, too, because Michael Irvin had a block for him.
00:50:59That one's not going to be funny right now.
00:51:02It's going to be funny during the week.
00:51:04But watch this one again.
00:51:05We see here's Emmitt Smith there, and he's going to start.
00:51:08Here's Michael Irvin down here.
00:51:10He gets a good lead block again by Daryl Johnson.
00:51:13A missed tackle and a good move.
00:51:15And watch right here.
00:51:16He has a block here by Michael Irvin.
00:51:18Had he gotten by?
00:51:19In fact, I don't know if that was a block.
00:51:20That looked like kind of a necktie takedown.
00:51:24Third and three.
00:51:26Quick count.
00:51:27Emmitt goes.
00:51:29The last twist might have gotten it.
00:51:33George Koontz.
00:51:37At the bottom of the tackle.
00:51:38Excuse me.
00:51:39That's the nice thing about having a big offensive line and a great running back.
00:51:42You know, which comes first?
00:51:44Does the offensive line make the running back?
00:51:45Does the running back make the offensive line?
00:51:47But that combination really takes a lot of pressure off the quarterback.
00:51:52And when you have to take time off the clock, control the ball,
00:51:56to have that combination on your side, that's super.
00:52:01We'll measure for the first down.
00:52:025.20 left, as you pointed out.
00:52:04Another good lead block by Daryl Johnson on the run where Smith tripped.
00:52:12Troy Aikman's even starting to sweat like those linemen.
00:52:18Troy Aikman has more sweat down the back of his pants than Mark Thune does.
00:52:22That'll help that leg strain he's got.
00:52:26Look at that.
00:52:27Eric Williams still the winner.
00:52:29Larry Allen, he's close.
00:52:30Donaldson is good.
00:52:31Donaldson catching up.
00:52:33Yeah, Nate, not as much as you would expect in Mark Thune's drive.
00:52:37Two tight ends.
00:52:51Yeah, that run there was like Jimmy Johnson was talking about at halftime,
00:52:54when he used to coach the Cowboys,
00:52:58how they would just sit back there and marvel,
00:53:00even in practice, how he could find lanes.
00:53:02And that's what he did.
00:53:03I mean, he started on that run at about four lanes
00:53:06before he ended up in the one that he was eventually going to stay in.
00:53:09Over 100 yards again, two touchdowns.
00:53:12That's what we were talking about earlier.
00:53:13Remember, his first seven carries, he had seven yards.
00:53:16And Djurkovic was talking about it yesterday, too,
00:53:19saying you stop him, you stop him, you stop him,
00:53:21and all of a sudden, he'll pop one.
00:53:28He'll have another chance.
00:53:29He won't pop this one.
00:53:32But they're talking about pop.
00:53:33Look at 93 there for the Green Bay Packers.
00:53:36There's a big man, Gilbert Brown.
00:53:38Yes, he is.
00:53:39Weighs about 345 pounds.
00:53:41Well, you ask them how much he weighs, and they'd laugh.
00:53:47They say he'll go with what it says on the card,
00:53:50which is 325.
00:53:51Well, he's wearing that extra shirt under there
00:53:56and the thing on the left.
00:54:00Third down, about four.
00:54:02Five, call it.
00:54:10Eggman.
00:54:12Pass caught by Irvin.
00:54:16He just makes it look so easy.
00:54:18He's getting to an area that he's in, a zone,
00:54:22or whatever you call it, the way Joe Montana was
00:54:25when Joe Montana was at his best.
00:54:27You know, he's doing what everyone else does,
00:54:30but he just makes it look so easy.
00:54:32There's Michael Irvin on that slant.
00:54:34Just get inside his guy and then use his body
00:54:38to shield the defender off.
00:54:40And the ball's right there.
00:54:41Yeah, perfect.
00:54:47Another big day for Irvin.
00:54:54Emmett Smith, the safety man, converged.
00:54:58Leroy Butler.
00:55:01That's the thing.
00:55:02And Ernie Zampezi has really called a good game
00:55:04for these Cowboys, too.
00:55:06You know, everything is mixed up.
00:55:08I mean, by the time you think,
00:55:09oh, they're just going to give you a heavy dose of Emmett,
00:55:11boom, here comes Michael Irvin.
00:55:13Then you think, well, they're going to throw it to Irvin,
00:55:15or they're going to throw it to Novacek.
00:55:16Then you think, well, they're just going to throw,
00:55:17and then, boom, here comes Michael Irvin again.
00:55:19Cowboys have had the ball about five and a half minutes
00:55:22on this drive, and the clock is running.
00:55:25And that's what you have to do.
00:55:27And that's when you have, again,
00:55:28that goes the big offensive line,
00:55:30the good blocking fullback, and a great running back.
00:55:35DeCorey Fleming, the intended receiver,
00:55:39knocked down by Doug Evans.
00:55:41He stopped the clock with 2-11 left to play.
00:55:45Well, we just showed a picture of Ernie there,
00:55:47and Ernie wanted to take a shot.
00:55:48I mean, you know, that's one thing about being
00:55:50an offensive coordinator or a play caller.
00:55:53You can't get into a rut.
00:55:55You can't call what the defense expects you to call.
00:55:59And you always have to go against the tendency,
00:56:02and you have to self-scout.
00:56:03You scout yourself to know how you're calling them,
00:56:06and then you call against how you've been calling
00:56:09if you're around as long as Ernie Zampezi's been.
00:56:12The 12th play of the drive coming up.
00:56:16They look a little uncertain,
00:56:18and they're going to take a timeout,
00:56:19which is the last thing they wanted to do.
00:56:23Cowboys call timeout.
00:56:26They have one left.
00:56:29Don't forget.
00:56:31Forget again.
00:56:32Next week, exciting NFL doubleheader action.
00:56:35The 49ers take on the Colts.
00:56:37The Cowboys battle the Chargers.
00:56:40Plus other exciting regional action.
00:56:42It all begins at noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific.
00:56:45Check your local listings for the game and time
00:56:47in your area.
00:56:48Chinatown, as I said earlier,
00:56:50will be in San Diego with the Cowboys next week.
00:56:54Start back tonight.
00:56:55Go back to California.
00:56:57Look through all the way through Texas,
00:57:00New Mexico, Arizona, California,
00:57:02then back down to San Diego.
00:57:04You go back home or go right to San Diego?
00:57:06No, no, no, no.
00:57:07Go back home, then down to San Diego.
00:57:09Always stay on the ground, though.
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:13That I know.
00:57:14Reggie White was telling me yesterday
00:57:16that he's going to have his wife, Sarah,
00:57:18fly and maybe I'll fly too.
00:57:21Reggie has a bus like mine,
00:57:23and when he bought it, he drove it,
00:57:26and his wife, Sarah, drove it.
00:57:27So when I was at Green Bay, I drove it.
00:57:29So now, as quick as he said, Sarah's going to fly.
00:57:32You think?
00:57:33Did I hear you say you might fly again?
00:57:35No, no.
00:57:36I said, that's Candace.
00:57:37I'll do one.
00:57:38I'm not going to do it again.
00:57:41M.S. Smith.
00:57:46M.S. Smith.
00:57:50Tripped up and run out of bounds.
00:57:53Finally, stops the clock again with 2.05 left.
00:57:57Boy, someone else went heels overhead on that one.
00:57:59One of those guys down there that holds something
00:58:02and has that striped stuff on.
00:58:04Did you see him?
00:58:05Yeah.
00:58:06He wasn't holding it very long.
00:58:07No, no.
00:58:08I don't know.
00:58:09They got too many guys back there.
00:58:12Watch him.
00:58:13I mean, he gets it right there.
00:58:14Look.
00:58:15Yep.
00:58:16He goes head.
00:58:17No, he went knee, then head, then heels overhead.
00:58:19He got up with it.
00:58:20He didn't lose his card, though.
00:58:21No, whatever that chart is that he's keeping,
00:58:23they're not going to knock that out of his hands.
00:58:25Fourth down.
00:58:26This is Bonio.
00:58:28Novacek holds it 35 yards away.
00:58:32And it's good.
00:58:38And that would bring a little sigh of relief
00:58:41to the head coach's head.
00:58:44And we've got the two-minute warning.
00:58:46Two minutes to go.
00:58:47Dallas by 10 at Texas Stadium.
00:58:53Next Tuesday night movie.
00:58:57There's two big reasons for a lot of cowboy wins, isn't it?
00:59:03Yep.
00:59:06Lost.
00:59:07Jordan lost the ball in that bright sunlight
00:59:10and let it bounce out of the end zone
00:59:12so the Packers will take over at their own 20.
00:59:16And that was a big drive for the Cowboys,
00:59:19and it was a bad defense for the Packers
00:59:21because they were within a touchdown.
00:59:24And then, of course, that drive, they didn't stop them,
00:59:27and the Cowboys were able to get that field goal.
00:59:30So now the Packers need two scores with two minutes left.
00:59:34Troy Aikman, the middle-line player of the game,
00:59:36I don't think there's much question about that.
00:59:39I don't think from the moment he walked out on the field,
00:59:43just walking out on the field, he should be a player of the game.
00:59:47Here's Favre.
00:59:50Almost.
00:59:52A diving one-handed catch by Antonio Freeman.
00:59:58That's what happens when you're a great player
01:00:02and you're not playing.
01:00:03Boredom sets in quickly.
01:00:07Well, when you're in Tallahassee last night
01:00:10to have your jersey retired
01:00:12and you're back on the sideline at Texas Stadium
01:00:16the next afternoon, that has something to do with it.
01:00:19I wonder how Dion decides what to wear.
01:00:21I mean, how does he know that's what he's going to put on
01:00:24when he comes out here?
01:00:26Here's Favre back to throw.
01:00:29Under pressure.
01:00:30Flag on the play.
01:00:31Flag on the play.
01:00:32He gets the pass off.
01:00:34It's incomplete.
01:00:37But a flag thrown on the play.
01:00:39You know what I don't understand about Charles Haley
01:00:42is that he's playing so much and he didn't start.
01:00:46I mean, to me, the guy is a great player
01:00:49and he can play, then you ought to play him.
01:00:52And if he can't play, you shouldn't play him.
01:00:54But here he is with two minutes left to go in the game.
01:00:57In fact, he's just going out now, but he's still playing.
01:01:00Number 75 on the offense.
01:01:04Holding called against Ken Rutgers,
01:01:07whose job it was to block Charles Haley.
01:01:10Haley is at, walks off on the other side.
01:01:15And you know, talking about causing havoc,
01:01:17being in the backfield, he'll also cause that.
01:01:20I mean, he'll cause the other guy to have more penalties
01:01:23than anyone because they'll have to hold him to block him
01:01:26and they don't want to get beat by the quickness
01:01:29so they'll start early a lot.
01:01:31But, I mean, getting back to the other thing,
01:01:33he couldn't start, he wasn't good enough to start,
01:01:35but he sure played a heck of a lot.
01:01:39A minute 48 left, second and 20.
01:01:41Far throw.
01:01:44Intended for Mark Ingram, who stumbled.
01:01:48And it's incomplete, and here comes Haley back.
01:01:51You know, Friday he didn't practice,
01:01:53he was kind of down.
01:01:54Then yesterday, yesterday he was up.
01:01:57This is his son, CJ.
01:01:59He had his birthday party.
01:02:01Look at all the stuff.
01:02:02They brought this to the practice field
01:02:04at the Cowboys practice.
01:02:05Good group there.
01:02:06Yeah, good group.
01:02:07Here's George, the guy in the middle there leading.
01:02:10That's Charles Haley's brother, George,
01:02:12leading everyone in happy birthday to CJ.
01:02:15Pretty good haul.
01:02:16That was a good haul.
01:02:18Good day.
01:02:20Here's Favre back to throw.
01:02:23Incomplete again.
01:02:26Packer receivers close together.
01:02:30Charles Jordan, today he has one, he rushed for two,
01:02:35but his consecutive streak is in danger.
01:02:38They're going to punt.
01:02:40And, of course, those are things that, you know,
01:02:42just happened over a player's career
01:02:44and you don't think about or go for.
01:02:46I mean, the only goal that Brett Favre had today
01:02:50was to beat the Dallas Cowboys.
01:02:52To win the game.
01:02:55Hendrick to punt from his own end zone,
01:02:57and it's a dandy.
01:02:59Clayton Holmes fields it, trips momentarily,
01:03:02and now he's off the run.
01:03:05Up close to midfield.
01:03:13Dallas has one timeout left.
01:03:16The Packers have all three of theirs.
01:03:18With a minute 26, the clock stopped down
01:03:20on the change of possession.
01:03:21Don't forget the NASDAQ stock market postgame report
01:03:24with J.B. and Terry and scores from around the NFL.
01:03:30You know, I think that calf muscle of Troy Aikman
01:03:34is just getting tired now because you can see
01:03:37just coming on and off the field
01:03:39that each time he comes on and off the field
01:03:41he's just limping more.
01:03:43I asked him the other day if he ever thought
01:03:45about just resting, not playing today,
01:03:48and not playing against San Diego,
01:03:50and he said, I've only got 16 chances.
01:03:53There's the moose.
01:03:55And if he were thinking of resting,
01:03:57he wouldn't be Troy Aikman.
01:03:59That's right.
01:04:01That's not a bad deal.
01:04:03I mean, finally at the end of the game
01:04:04they've had the moose catching passes,
01:04:06they've had him pass protected,
01:04:07they've had him run blocking.
01:04:09Look at him, he's got a hole in his jersey right there.
01:04:12That whole right shoulder of that jersey
01:04:14is kind of worn out, isn't it?
01:04:15Wouldn't you figure that?
01:04:16Yeah, and then they finally give him the ball
01:04:18at the end of the game and let him get a first down.
01:04:20Pat his stats.
01:04:21That jersey looks like a quilt.
01:04:23No, but there's a lot of guys
01:04:24that could be the MVP of this game.
01:04:26I mean, Troy Aikman, obviously,
01:04:28but Daryl Johnston played like heck today.
01:04:35Sheridan Williams.
01:04:38Stopped by George Coons.
01:04:41And again, you wonder, you know,
01:04:42talking about Daryl Johnston,
01:04:44how many lead blocks a body has in it.
01:04:47I mean, they're still doing it.
01:04:48I mean, here it is, 27 seconds to go,
01:04:51and look at him, he's still, boom,
01:04:53he's still coming in there,
01:04:54that back's still following him,
01:04:55running right through.
01:04:56And it's still effective.
01:04:58Yeah, I know it.
01:04:59And how long has he been doing it?
01:05:00Well, you know, it's one of those things,
01:05:02for a coach it's easy to call,
01:05:03but it's hard for a fullback to do it.
01:05:05He has to have a special temperament,
01:05:07and there he goes again.
01:05:11Moose is helping his average.
01:05:14I think that Moose is going to be glad
01:05:16to take this one to the house,
01:05:18and get in that shower.
01:05:21There's Charles Haley, Barry Switzer.
01:05:26Another victory for him, 34-24,
01:05:30over the Green Bay Packers.
01:05:32And the Packers, as they have indicated
01:05:34many times leading up to this game,
01:05:37are tired of coming to Texas Stadium and losing.
01:05:40Well, you know, we talked about the lines,
01:05:43and they had to win it at the line of scrimmage,
01:05:46and the Cowboys just won it
01:05:49at the line of scrimmage today.
01:05:51Eric Williams and Reggie White.
01:05:54There's Troy Eggman.
01:05:56They had a heck of a battle.
01:05:57Eric Williams was fighting out of that cap
01:05:59that whole time, you know,
01:06:01fighting to keep that thing straightened out.
01:06:04Reggie White.
01:06:05Block Reggie.
01:06:06Derek Kennard next to him.
01:06:08Reggie has well deserved
01:06:11and should be a lot of respect
01:06:13when things are over.
