00:00:00And Super Bowl 30 is underway.
00:00:16Troy Aikman and that huge
00:00:18offensive line take the field
00:00:20Aikman's previous two Super
00:00:21Bowls producing solid numbers
00:00:24over 70 percent completion rate
00:00:27a record for the Super Bowl and
00:00:29very few errors by this strong
00:00:31armed quarterback who was
00:00:32recruited by Barry Switzer to
00:00:34Oklahoma played a year there and
00:00:35then eventually transferred to
00:00:37UCLA Greg Lloyd has his target
00:00:41set and Kevin Green the
00:00:44linebacker outside upset Lloyd
00:00:48Emmett Smith a Super Bowl most
00:00:51valuable player left in the
00:00:52backfield.
00:00:54And the first time the tight end
00:00:56Novacek incomplete covered by
00:00:59Cornell Lake.
00:01:03But what they were trying to do
00:01:04the Cowboys were trying to put
00:01:05Moose Johnson out in the
00:01:07formation to create a hole for
00:01:08J.
00:01:09Novacek.
00:01:10Well LeBron Kirkland saw it all
00:01:11the way.
00:01:12Cornell Lake right there breaks
00:01:14on the football Troy Aikman if
00:01:16he throws it in front of J.
00:01:17Novacek could have been an
00:01:18interception.
00:01:19But the Cowboys were trying to
00:01:21in front of J.
00:01:22Novacek could have been an
00:01:23interception.
00:01:24Lake who moved from his safety
00:01:26and all pro spot the
00:01:27cornerback Rod Woodson's injury.
00:01:29That was when the Steelers were
00:01:30three and four.
00:01:31Gave himself up in essence and
00:01:33became a part of a terrific
00:01:34finish by this Pittsburgh team
00:01:36second and 10.
00:01:37The quick throw.
00:01:45And Michael Irvin saying I
00:01:46barely saw the ball looking back
00:01:48into the setting sun.
00:01:49Well that set us directly in his
00:01:50eyes.
00:01:51Now you look on the outside you
00:01:52see Willie Williams cover.
00:01:53Look how far he gives inside.
00:01:54There is nobody inside to take
00:01:56the play.
00:01:57Michael Irvin.
00:01:58He just tucks the ball away.
00:01:59I really think that he didn't
00:02:00believe he had it because he
00:02:01couldn't see it.
00:02:0220 yards on the play and Deion
00:02:04Sanders makes his first
00:02:05appearance offensively split to
00:02:07the left.
00:02:11And Evan Smith's first carry.
00:02:14He's all the way to the 28 yard
00:02:16line.
00:02:20Twenty three yards for Smith.
00:02:22That's his longest run all year
00:02:24on a grass field.
00:02:25Dick they keep talking about the
00:02:27size of the Cowboy line.
00:02:28Watch Larry Allen come over here
00:02:30and create the hole for him at
00:02:31Smith.
00:02:33Larry Allen the big man just
00:02:34knocks Greg Lloyd right out of
00:02:35the hole and the safety Myron
00:02:37Bell is not up inside to make
00:02:39the tackle.
00:02:42Smith and rush for one hundred
00:02:43eight yards three years ago and
00:02:45one hundred thirty two yards two
00:02:47years ago in Dallas.
00:02:48He gets the ball again and it's
00:02:50short yardage into the grasp of
00:02:52big Joel Steve the nose tackle
00:02:54of the Steelers.
00:02:58They always talk about Greg
00:02:59Lloyd.
00:03:00He's a great run stopper.
00:03:01The Cowboys philosophy is we
00:03:03don't care how quick and how
00:03:04strong you are.
00:03:05Our big line.
00:03:06And when they hit you you're
00:03:07going to move in right there.
00:03:09Larry Allen one of the best
00:03:10linemen in football.
00:03:12He hits Greg Lloyd.
00:03:13Greg Lloyd cannot defend
00:03:14himself on those type of plays.
00:03:15Some would argue this man who
00:03:16played at Sonoma State in
00:03:17California is the best offensive
00:03:19lineman in football.
00:03:24Second down and eight.
00:03:26Aikman.
00:03:27To Irvin.
00:03:28Incomplete.
00:03:29Hit by Lake.
00:03:31Irvin had it for a moment at the
00:03:3210 yard line.
00:03:39For one of the reasons the
00:03:40Dallas Cowboys right away
00:03:41attacked.
00:03:42Attacked.
00:03:43Here's the safety.
00:03:44If he's in the middle the
00:03:45corners are singled up and
00:03:46you'll see the big holes inside
00:03:48for the Dallas receivers.
00:03:50Troy Aikman.
00:03:51They know this.
00:03:52Ernie Zampezi the offensive
00:03:53coordinator sees it from up top.
00:03:55Good.
00:03:56Good play calling.
00:03:58The great all pro makes his
00:03:59first appearance.
00:04:00What a story.
00:04:01And.
00:04:02Deion Sanders is in.
00:04:05It's a reverse to Williams and
00:04:06he's tripped up.
00:04:08As he crosses the 25.
00:04:10Shy.
00:04:11It appeared that Chad Brown
00:04:12might have gotten a hand on it.
00:04:14One thing that surprised me
00:04:15right now is Greg Lloyd is
00:04:16getting knocked all over the
00:04:17field.
00:04:18That time Nate Newton comes out
00:04:19number 61.
00:04:20It makes the block again.
00:04:22I mean I don't know what I
00:04:23can't be footing.
00:04:24And I know what he's reading.
00:04:25Watch this.
00:04:26Here comes Nate.
00:04:27Boom.
00:04:28They knock him outside and he's
00:04:29on the ground.
00:04:30That's the second time we've
00:04:31seen him down.
00:04:32Paul.
00:04:33Big.
00:04:34Big offensive lineman.
00:04:35Also he could be nervous.
00:04:37Forty two yard attempt by Chris
00:04:38Bono.
00:04:39Who missed only one all year.
00:04:46It's high enough.
00:04:47It's long enough.
00:04:48It is good.
00:04:50Nestled in the Buttes in Tempe
00:04:51Arizona.
00:04:52Sun Devil Stadium.
00:04:54Team scoring first.
00:04:56Goes on to win all but eight
00:04:57Super Bowl games and Barry
00:04:59Switzer's team has the three
00:05:00nothing lead.
00:05:02But.
00:05:03Paul McGuire it appeared that
00:05:04they're going to get more than
00:05:05three the way they started.
00:05:06Well you know it's a big it's
00:05:07got to be a great break.
00:05:08It's got to be a great big lift
00:05:09from Pittsburgh.
00:05:10Bono.
00:05:11The.
00:05:12Lightest man on the field today.
00:05:13Knocks it to Ernie Mills at the
00:05:14five.
00:05:17Twenty five yard line.
00:05:20By David Lang.
00:05:22Some of the best seats for
00:05:23today's Super Bowl are the ones
00:05:25you're in overhead.
00:05:27Big one airship bringing you all
00:05:28those classic shots.
00:05:30You know Dick they're just
00:05:31talking about Pittsburgh.
00:05:32The left they had here's Dallas
00:05:33they look like they just went
00:05:34boom right down the field.
00:05:36They're going to score a
00:05:37touchdown.
00:05:39I got to thinking about San
00:05:40Francisco a year ago and then
00:05:41Pittsburgh stops him.
00:05:42Now.
00:05:43We're going to find out later on
00:05:44in this game.
00:05:45But I want to tell you something
00:05:46it's got to give this offense a
00:05:47big lift for Pittsburgh.
00:05:49Neil O'Donnell.
00:05:51Had a solid.
00:05:52Postseason although.
00:05:54Three interceptions to two
00:05:55touchdowns.
00:06:01Neil O'Donnell.
00:06:02Is the.
00:06:04Last of a big family nine in the
00:06:05family and his dad called him
00:06:06a suit.
00:06:07For Super.
00:06:08Baby.
00:06:09And.
00:06:10Today it's.
00:06:11Hopefully Super Bowl for O'Donnell
00:06:13and.
00:06:14The Steelers.
00:06:15O'Donnell not always the most
00:06:16popular man in Pittsburgh but
00:06:18they've learned to love him this
00:06:19year.
00:06:20Run offensive last year he.
00:06:22Exceeded and did very well on
00:06:23that.
00:06:24This year he's.
00:06:25In a pass offense and he's even
00:06:26doing better.
00:06:27Slash.
00:06:28Cordell Stewart the brilliant
00:06:29rookie from Colorado in the
00:06:30slot.
00:06:31For a yard.
00:06:32Russell.
00:06:33Maryland.
00:06:34Makes the hit.
00:06:35You know I'm going to tell you
00:06:36something.
00:06:37So.
00:06:38This surprises me.
00:06:39He's excited Russell.
00:06:40And.
00:06:41Made a nice play.
00:06:42But this.
00:06:43You know we talked to Kyle we
00:06:44talked to the team.
00:06:45And they thought we're going to
00:06:46let.
00:06:47Everything go.
00:06:48Leave nothing left in the jar.
00:06:49And you come out with two
00:06:50conservative runs I don't
00:06:51understand it.
00:06:52And besides you've got you've
00:06:53got the defense looking back
00:06:54into the sun.
00:06:55It's a long way to go so I don't
00:06:56know if I'd call it
00:06:57conservative yet.
00:06:59I go with the five wide outs
00:07:00the revolutionary.
00:07:02Offensive formation of the
00:07:03Steelers this year with Cordell
00:07:05Stewart slot left.
00:07:07O'Donnell third and a long six.
00:07:10Lot of time.
00:07:11The catch is made shy of the
00:07:12yardsticks.
00:07:14By Andre Hastings their big
00:07:15third down receiver.
00:07:17It'll be fourth and one.
00:07:19But we saw a defensive ploy
00:07:20right there but a Dallas
00:07:21Cowboys instead of using.
00:07:23Four down linemen.
00:07:25And seven people behind it they
00:07:26use three down linemen.
00:07:28And play coverage behind it.
00:07:29Neal O'Donnell was not able to
00:07:30get anybody open.
00:07:32Past the first down yard marker.
00:07:34Good job of the Cowboys.
00:07:36Ron Stark a former Colt.
00:07:38The kicker and Deion Sanders
00:07:40getting ready to do a dance
00:07:41down at the Dallas 20.
00:07:43Beautiful.
00:07:45Spiral off the left foot of
00:07:46Stark.
00:07:47Chases Sanders to the 16.
00:07:50And he's to the twenty five
00:07:51yard line.
00:07:53Tackled by.
00:07:54Leaf on flowers the rookie from
00:07:55Georgia Tech.
00:07:57Steelers start the game.
00:07:59Here's our linebacker Greg Lee.
00:08:01Greg Lloyd is fifth.
00:08:03Pro Bowl appearance this year.
00:08:05Well you look at his play here.
00:08:07I just catch Lloyd looking back
00:08:08in the backfield.
00:08:10And he's looking back at Emma
00:08:11Smith which you should do.
00:08:13But Greg Lloyd has not seen.
00:08:15Offensive linemen the size of
00:08:16the Dallas Cowboys.
00:08:18With the athletic ability to so
00:08:19he'll.
00:08:21He'll get in rhythm right here
00:08:22and he'll do a lot better job
00:08:23trying to stop the run.
00:08:25He grew up admiring the great
00:08:26steeler linebacker Jack
00:08:27Lambert.
00:08:29The Dallas Cowboys leading three
00:08:30nothing from their twenty five
00:08:31Emmitt Smith goes outside.
00:08:33Gets another good run.
00:08:34And a game of.
00:08:36Six maybe seven before they
00:08:37finally write him down.
00:08:39Levon Kirkland one of the
00:08:40biggest linebackers in the league
00:08:42at two sixty three got a piece
00:08:43of it.
00:08:45How big are these Cowboys.
00:08:47The biggest.
00:08:49In captivity this.
00:08:51Line.
00:08:52Out of the program averaging
00:08:53three hundred twenty pounds.
00:08:55But.
00:08:56That isn't the true story of the
00:08:57beef in the.
00:08:58Front five for Dallas.
00:09:00And you've already seen how the
00:09:01impact that they've had on
00:09:02smaller defenders.
00:09:08Emmitt on second and four.
00:09:11And stopped after a two yard
00:09:12game.
00:09:14Well we did some extra research
00:09:15and let's find out how big they
00:09:16really are.
00:09:21You know what I like Dick.
00:09:23As I watch this.
00:09:24Look at how.
00:09:25Look at gentlemen they are they
00:09:27they even with their mouths
00:09:28closed.
00:09:29Nice.
00:09:30Three fifty as Derrick Canard.
00:09:32Big old Larry Allen pretty close
00:09:34at three thirty and Eric Williams
00:09:36at three thirty.
00:09:37So the average is three hundred
00:09:39thirty three pounds.
00:09:41Per man.
00:09:42Is it more Phil.
00:09:44Is that.
00:09:45That would be the minimum I
00:09:46think of all these linemen.
00:09:48This is when they died a little
00:09:49and make way in.
00:09:52Short.
00:09:54And that usually means offense
00:09:55full start.
00:09:56Derrick Williams Nate Newton
00:09:57both may have.
00:09:59Pulled off the.
00:10:00Line of scrimmage as we see for
00:10:01the first time.
00:10:02Referee today his second Super
00:10:03Bowl game.
00:10:04A red cash in.
00:10:07Before the ball was snapped.
00:10:09False start.
00:10:10Number sixty one.
00:10:12Five yards.
00:10:13Phil third down.
00:10:14You know one of the things that
00:10:15are surprising we talk you know
00:10:16that the Pittsburgh Steelers feel
00:10:18that they what they have to do
00:10:19you see big Nate Newton and
00:10:20everybody else is moving to not
00:10:21just him.
00:10:22But the Pittsburgh Steelers say
00:10:23boy their strength is in their
00:10:24running game.
00:10:26And if we talk to the Dallas
00:10:27Cowboys and Troy Aikman.
00:10:28What does he tell you Phil.
00:10:30He says our strength is our
00:10:31passing game.
00:10:32We want you to come up and try
00:10:33to stop the run.
00:10:34Single our receivers.
00:10:36Rod Woodson is in and so is
00:10:37Deion Sanders.
00:10:39In fact Woodson matched against
00:10:40Sanders on the near sidelines.
00:10:42Aikman slips and still hits
00:10:43Michael Irvin.
00:10:45First down at the thirty nine.
00:10:48Carnell Lake another tackle for
00:10:49Pittsburgh.
00:10:51Well it was man coverage by the
00:10:52Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:10:54The Cowboys do a good job of
00:10:55spreading it out.
00:10:56And watch Troy Aikman.
00:10:58Composure been here before he
00:10:59slips.
00:11:00He gets up.
00:11:01He knows Michael Irvin is on
00:11:02Carnell Lake does a good job of
00:11:03leading him.
00:11:05Now we have Deion Sanders out
00:11:06there man to man on Woodson.
00:11:08Watch what's and he just forced
00:11:09him the outside gets his hands
00:11:10on him.
00:11:11You know where you are.
00:11:13I think that's just decoy
00:11:14anyway.
00:11:15I mean if Deion wants to run
00:11:16he's going to run a lot faster
00:11:17than that.
00:11:18But how about Rod Woodson.
00:11:19He's the first ever NFL player
00:11:20to have a critical knee surgery
00:11:21and still play in the same
00:11:22season.
00:11:23Sanders still in as Aikman on
00:11:24first down.
00:11:25Goes long.
00:11:27For Sanders.
00:11:28Caught by Deion at the 15 yard
00:11:30line.
00:11:38Paul Willie Williams was in
00:11:39perfect position the whole way
00:11:40to make the play.
00:11:42But he.
00:11:43But he couldn't do it.
00:11:44He did not time.
00:11:45His jump or his move to the
00:11:46football on time.
00:11:47Right here.
00:11:48He's on the outside technique.
00:11:50He's really hoping to get some
00:11:51help deep.
00:11:52But the Cowboys do a good job
00:11:53of getting the safety out of
00:11:54the middle.
00:11:55And right there he's just a
00:11:56little too quick.
00:11:57And jumping Deion.
00:11:59Excellent job of catching the
00:12:00football.
00:12:02Afterwards.
00:12:03I'll dance a little bit.
00:12:04Little prime time.
00:12:05Forty seven yards on the play
00:12:06for Sanders.
00:12:08First down at the 14.
00:12:09Emmitt Smith.
00:12:11To the 10 yard line.
00:12:12You know the one thing about
00:12:13that play.
00:12:14Let's go back to that play to
00:12:15Deion.
00:12:16We were talking to Troy Aikman
00:12:17he was telling us about a time
00:12:18in practice when he threw the
00:12:19ball to Deion.
00:12:20He really didn't know how fast
00:12:21Deion Sanders was.
00:12:22So they went back and he threw
00:12:23the ball I guess 140 yards down
00:12:25field.
00:12:26But he threw it.
00:12:27He said I thought I threw
00:12:28Sanders.
00:12:29And he said then he ran and
00:12:30caught the ball.
00:12:31The thing that surprised him was
00:12:32when we went back to look at the
00:12:33practice on film.
00:12:35He realized that he threw it as
00:12:36far as he could.
00:12:37And Deion had to slow down when
00:12:39he got there.
00:12:40Now that's fast.
00:12:46Fake to Smith.
00:12:49Aikman.
00:12:50Receivers covered.
00:12:51And he dodges out of bounds.
00:12:55Ray Seals chasing Troy Aikman.
00:12:59And that will be recorded as a
00:13:00sack.
00:13:01Well 55.
00:13:02Paul McGuire's old number.
00:13:03The Cowboys inside the 20.
00:13:05Look at that hip movement of
00:13:06McGuire.
00:13:07Watch this boys.
00:13:08Watch it boys.
00:13:11Now watch it.
00:13:15Oh that's not right.
00:13:16That ain't right.
00:13:17What do you mean it's not right?
00:13:18There's no way you have that
00:13:19much rhythm.
00:13:20Well the point is the Cowboys
00:13:21have scored seven touchdowns and
00:13:2311 trips inside the 20.
00:13:25And here's a big third and nine.
00:13:27Leading 3-0.
00:13:33Aikman to Nova.
00:13:34Check the tight end.
00:13:36First and goal I believe.
00:13:37It's inside the three.
00:13:38Flag down.
00:13:40But it's on the side from the
00:13:41linesman where Kevin Green
00:13:43jumped early.
00:13:46And he's got it.
00:13:47And Mason Lee Cashin of Texas A&M
00:13:50and College Station says offside
00:13:52Pittsburgh.
00:13:53And the Cowboys will take the
00:13:54play.
00:13:55It's a first down.
00:13:57If they get.
00:13:58Indeed it's against Pittsburgh.
00:13:59It'll be a first and goal.
00:14:03Offside.
00:14:05Number 91 on the defense.
00:14:07That penalty is declined.
00:14:09Hestan.
00:14:11Kristin.
00:14:13You know you look a lot like
00:14:14Red Club.
00:14:15I like it when you're here.
00:14:17Greg Cashin came into our room
00:14:18on Friday and Paul said sit down.
00:14:23You know what was interesting
00:14:24the last time the Cowboys have
00:14:25done right in this game so far.
00:14:27Kind of crossing up the
00:14:28Steelers.
00:14:29They're spreading their offense
00:14:30out.
00:14:31We expected the Steelers to do
00:14:32that to the Cowboys not vice
00:14:33versa.
00:14:34An interesting part of that
00:14:35spread out they had Emmitt
00:14:36Smith spread out way to the
00:14:37other side.
00:14:38Way out.
00:14:40Aikman with a couple of big
00:14:41third down plays on this drive
00:14:42leading 3-0.
00:14:43Earl Johnston the blocking back
00:14:44fake to Smith.
00:14:46Wide open.
00:14:47Novacek touchdown Dallas.
00:14:56A Cowboy all his life.
00:14:58Jay Novacek who grew up cutting
00:14:59horses in Gothenburg Nebraska
00:15:02was a University of Wyoming
00:15:04Cowboy and now in his 11th year
00:15:07in the league.
00:15:09Although he started here with a
00:15:10Cowboy with that big blue star
00:15:12and he's given Dallas their
00:15:14first touchdown of the game.
00:15:18It was an excellent job of the
00:15:19Cowboys right there faking the
00:15:21run and bring bring in Jay
00:15:23Novacek all the way across the
00:15:24formation and just caught the
00:15:26Steelers in a tough defense and
00:15:27easy touchdown pass for Troy
00:15:28Aikman.
00:15:31He did miss two extra points in
00:15:33the regular season missed more
00:15:34extra points in the regular
00:15:35season.
00:15:36Did miss two extra points in the
00:15:37regular season missed more extra
00:15:38points than he did field goal
00:15:39attempts.
00:15:41Makes that one.
00:15:43So in less than 10 minutes of
00:15:44this Super Bowl 30 the Cowboys
00:15:46have racked up 10 points.
00:15:48Jay Novacek completing the 75
00:15:50yard drive in eight plays and
00:15:52Aikman a perfect four for four
00:15:54and 71 of the yards through his
00:15:56passes.
00:15:58Beyond with a great catch
00:15:59downfield and a little dance
00:16:01afterwards.
00:16:03Bono the kickoff Mills is deep
00:16:05for the Steelers almost the same
00:16:14tripped up at the twenty seven
00:16:15yard line.
00:16:17Michael Irvin and the Cowboys
00:16:18with a 10 nothing lead.
00:16:20We left for commercial with Paul
00:16:21McGuire uttering illegal on the
00:16:24touchdown play and after this
00:16:25first down for the Steelers
00:16:27we'll go back and take another
00:16:28look.
00:16:30They go three wide with Cordell
00:16:32Stewart slot right.
00:16:35And San Pedro in motion out of
00:16:37the backfield.
00:16:39And throw to him.
00:16:42Let's go back to the touchdown.
00:16:44All right.
00:16:46All right let's you know Ken
00:16:47Watkins comes out and he's he's
00:16:49a he's a receiver.
00:16:51Now this is all right with
00:16:52Gildan right here.
00:16:54But when you come down the line
00:16:55of scrimmage watch what he does
00:16:56with all soft.
00:16:58You can't purposely take that
00:16:59block beyond the line of
00:17:00scrimmage.
00:17:01That's on a pass play.
00:17:02That's illegal.
00:17:04Alsoski definitely had J.
00:17:05Novacek covered but that block
00:17:06knocked him off.
00:17:08Not seen by the officials.
00:17:10Only one penalty a five yard
00:17:11penalty at this point.
00:17:13Rarely do you see the yellow
00:17:14flag in a Super Bowl.
00:17:16Both teams know that.
00:17:18Staggers to the twenty nine yard
00:17:20line and a gain of only a
00:17:21couple.
00:17:23Dick this is a brand new field
00:17:24remember since the Fiesta Bowl
00:17:25they put this new field and you
00:17:27we were talking to players
00:17:28yesterday and the day before
00:17:29they said this this field is
00:17:30tight.
00:17:31Watch this field.
00:17:32It's not tight.
00:17:33Look at Pegram.
00:17:34He's slipping all over.
00:17:35We saw Troy Aikman slip going
00:17:36back.
00:17:37This field is not solid.
00:17:39Third down and eight for
00:17:40Pittsburgh.
00:17:42As the Cowboys have dominated
00:17:43the opening quarter.
00:18:00First down at the thirty nine.
00:18:01Ten yards.
00:18:02The first.
00:18:03First down for the Steelers.
00:18:06Excellent job of Ernie Mills
00:18:07going down the field against
00:18:08Larry Brown.
00:18:09Steelers are going no huddle
00:18:10here.
00:18:11No huddle for the Steelers.
00:18:13They want to get him in the
00:18:14switch and they've got the
00:18:15Dallas Cowboys in the switch
00:18:16right now.
00:18:18Yeah.
00:18:19Dallas Cowboys only had about
00:18:21eight men on the field.
00:18:23So.
00:18:24Dallas has to spend the time
00:18:25out.
00:18:26Bill Cower.
00:18:27Now there is one of those plays
00:18:30or strategies you talk about
00:18:32Paul McGuire.
00:18:33Well you only you only missed
00:18:34it by one.
00:18:35They only had nine.
00:18:36You know and everybody's
00:18:37walking off the field.
00:18:38Well the Steelers just decided
00:18:39well let's get up on the ball
00:18:40and make something happen.
00:18:41We knew this was coming.
00:18:47Well the no huddle offense
00:18:49the Steelers want to use to
00:18:50confuse them.
00:18:51Look here you have four right
00:18:52there.
00:18:53One six five six seven eight
00:18:55nine people on the football
00:18:57field.
00:18:58I'd like the Steelers chances
00:18:59in a situation like that.
00:19:00But really they want to do this
00:19:02no huddle.
00:19:03They're down 10 to nothing.
00:19:04Why do you do it.
00:19:05The change the tempo of the
00:19:06game.
00:19:07Get your team excited again.
00:19:08Get them in it somehow.
00:19:10And it's a good strategy by the
00:19:11Steelers.
00:19:12Well what happened was to Dick
00:19:13they were had six defensive
00:19:14backs so they got him in
00:19:15transition.
00:19:16They figure first down that
00:19:17they'll go back to their basic
00:19:18offense.
00:19:19Well they're just walking guys
00:19:20off the field to get their
00:19:21basic defense back and he
00:19:22couldn't.
00:19:23Bam Morris is in the game for
00:19:24the first time the big two
00:19:25hundred and forty pound
00:19:26running back behind O'Donnell.
00:19:29That is Morris.
00:19:35Robert Jones and others to make
00:19:36the tackle.
00:19:41Well it's a good job of the
00:19:42Steelers.
00:19:43They think they've got to have
00:19:44success inside.
00:19:45Watch Tom Newberry come across
00:19:46here.
00:19:47A little tramp and just open up
00:19:48the hole for Bam Morris.
00:19:49Great job by Leon Searcy.
00:19:51Boom.
00:19:52Gets Robert Jones right there
00:19:53and the Steelers want to run
00:19:54inside the tackles.
00:19:56They think they can push this
00:19:57defensive line around.
00:19:59Six yard game for Morris who
00:20:02gets the call again.
00:20:03Tries to get outside and Charles
00:20:05Haley says no you don't.
00:20:08Dixon Edwards what a man that
00:20:09makes such a great tackle number
00:20:1158 from coming inside.
00:20:13He's the guy that gets down
00:20:14below and gets the field.
00:20:15Watch number 58 come in.
00:20:17Haley goes down and closes it
00:20:18inside.
00:20:19But right behind there's Dixon
00:20:2058 making the tackle.
00:20:22What a super play by the
00:20:23linebacker.
00:20:25You know we talked to Bam the
00:20:26other day and when he walked in
00:20:28he's one of the guys we've
00:20:29talked to between Dallas and
00:20:30Pittsburgh that I thought was
00:20:32truly ready to play this
00:20:33football game.
00:20:35Third down.
00:20:36About three and a half.
00:20:38There's O'Donnell out of the
00:20:39shotgun.
00:20:42Mills in motion and a toss to
00:20:44Stewart.
00:20:46And with a battle as he may.
00:20:48He's brought down at the 49.
00:20:50It's going to be very close to a
00:20:51first down.
00:20:52Larry Brown came up from the
00:20:53corner 24 to help out on the
00:20:55tackle.
00:20:56He's short.
00:20:57He's going to be short about a
00:20:58half a yard.
00:20:59And now we're going.
00:21:00You know here's what coach
00:21:01gives it.
00:21:02Look at Bam.
00:21:03Bam Morris is saying let's go.
00:21:04Give me the ball.
00:21:05Let's go.
00:21:06I don't want to come off this
00:21:07field.
00:21:08Give it to me.
00:21:09I want it.
00:21:10But watching the Steelers right
00:21:11now the coaches they're
00:21:12definitely deciding if it's
00:21:13short.
00:21:14What they're going to do right
00:21:15here.
00:21:16It's a half a yard.
00:21:17You've got to get to almost to
00:21:18the 50 yard line and that ball
00:21:19is just beyond the 49.
00:21:21Excellent job.
00:21:22The defensive back to the
00:21:23Dallas Cowboys right there
00:21:24recognizing run and being
00:21:25aggressive and getting to the
00:21:26lines credit.
00:21:27They're going.
00:21:28I'm going to tell you you're in
00:21:29the Super Bowl.
00:21:30We talked about no holds barred.
00:21:31Don't leave anything in the
00:21:32jar.
00:21:33Go for it.
00:21:34And Bill Cower the youngest
00:21:36coach ever to take a team to the
00:21:38Super Bowl.
00:21:39William Laird is just 38.
00:21:42Says go on fourth and a foot.
00:21:44William Laird.
00:21:45William Laird his father Laird
00:21:47mother watching back in the same
00:21:49house where he said I used to
00:21:50watch the Super Bowl with my dad
00:21:52in the living room.
00:21:53I know right where he's sitting
00:21:54today.
00:21:55Watching every play.
00:21:56In the same chair.
00:21:57In the same chair.
00:21:59Remembering back the glory days
00:22:01of the Steelers.
00:22:02He said the first Super Bowl
00:22:03champions while he was a
00:22:05freshman at North Carolina
00:22:06State.
00:22:07Was it great to walk around and
00:22:08tell everyone I am from
00:22:09Pittsburgh.
00:22:16I mean it's just a quarterback
00:22:17sneak dig but I'll tell you what
00:22:19good patience by Cordell Stewart
00:22:21seeing where the defensive
00:22:22tackles work and picking the
00:22:24right hole.
00:22:25Look to the right.
00:22:26You see Robert Jones sneaking up
00:22:27there.
00:22:28Cordell goes to the left.
00:22:29Nobody there.
00:22:30Good job.
00:22:31You have said this all year
00:22:32long.
00:22:33You will see Coward's reaction
00:22:34here.
00:22:35He knows it right now.
00:22:36They got it.
00:22:37But you said a quarterback sneak
00:22:38a quarterback must have
00:22:39patience.
00:22:41First invasion of Dallas
00:22:42territory by the Steelers and
00:22:44trail.
00:22:50Good job of throwing away right
00:22:51there.
00:22:52Excellent.
00:22:53But a Dallas defensive line
00:22:55getting on Neal O'Donnell had
00:22:56to throw it away.
00:22:58Tony Tolbert perhaps the most
00:22:59underrated defender.
00:23:01The Cowboys getting in on
00:23:03O'Donnell.
00:23:04Well look and look at the
00:23:05defensive line right here.
00:23:06Watch him.
00:23:07Neal O'Donnell trying to avoid
00:23:08him as he goes back right here.
00:23:10Russell Maryland right there
00:23:11speed rushes him and Tony
00:23:12Tolbert comes up underneath
00:23:13three.
00:23:14Puts a good lick on Neal
00:23:15O'Donnell.
00:23:16They'll loosen him up.
00:23:17Well think that thought he had
00:23:18Deion Sanders beat inside.
00:23:20We'll see.
00:23:21There's a motion.
00:23:24And it's a raw inside trap
00:23:26play to Bam Morris and Morris
00:23:28gets only a couple.
00:23:29Robert Jones middle linebacker
00:23:30from East Carolina with a stop.
00:23:34Bordell Stewart comes in.
00:23:36What a year for this man.
00:23:38Drafted as a quarterback out of
00:23:39the University of Colorado.
00:23:41He was just working as the
00:23:42scout team wide receiver and
00:23:43all the assistants said hey this
00:23:45guy never drops a ball.
00:23:46Let's inject him into our
00:23:47defense.
00:23:48And part of the big comeback
00:23:49story for Pittsburgh.
00:23:50Absolutely changed really
00:23:51changed the personality of the
00:23:52team.
00:23:53It enabled them to get into
00:23:54that five wide receiver set.
00:23:56And it just they just put
00:23:57enthusiasm.
00:23:58And it's one of the reasons
00:23:59why they turned the season
00:24:00around.
00:24:01Third down eight.
00:24:02Tenth play of this drive.
00:24:04O'Donnell.
00:24:06I'm going to tell you one
00:24:07thing.
00:24:08And I don't care about any
00:24:09football.
00:24:10I don't care about any
00:24:11football.
00:24:12I'm going to tell you one
00:24:13thing.
00:24:14I'm going to tell you one
00:24:15thing.
00:24:16And I don't care about any
00:24:17football game is played.
00:24:19If you have time and that's
00:24:20what Neil O'Donnell said.
00:24:22If they give me time.
00:24:23I can throw the football.
00:24:25This time.
00:24:26What's the time he has to
00:24:27throw.
00:24:28He sits in the pocket.
00:24:29He's he's he gets the ball
00:24:30anything.
00:24:31First down.
00:24:32Easy.
00:24:33Oh a fumble by O'Donnell and
00:24:34made no huddle offense and
00:24:35tried to come out on first
00:24:36down.
00:24:37No huddle.
00:24:38And it cost them big yardage
00:24:3913.
00:24:41The deficit on.
00:24:42The miscue.
00:24:44Well I really can't tell right
00:24:45here.
00:24:47Oh the ball just slips out of
00:24:48the money Dawson's hands and
00:24:49go straight up.
00:24:51Excellent job though.
00:24:52But Neil O'Donnell getting
00:24:53down on it.
00:24:54That's a kind Paul McGuire
00:24:55calls her a catcher.
00:24:57I mean that's got to be
00:24:58scary.
00:24:59You know you're in the
00:25:00biggest game of your life and
00:25:01the first time you've ever
00:25:02been here and you're looking
00:25:03as a quarterback to say wait
00:25:04wait a minute.
00:25:06And then Neil O'Donnell already
00:25:07told us about the money
00:25:08Dawson.
00:25:09He said this guy sweats like
00:25:10crazy.
00:25:11And you can see how the ball
00:25:12gets away from.
00:25:13What is it about centers.
00:25:14Derek Kennard has the same
00:25:15problem for Dallas.
00:25:16Spread the field.
00:25:18Good.
00:25:19Protection.
00:25:22By Corey Holliday at the
00:25:24thirty nine yard line.
00:25:26Holliday did not have a
00:25:27reception in the regular
00:25:28season.
00:25:29He's from North Carolina.
00:25:32Final seconds two seconds
00:25:33show on the clock.
00:25:36Right there.
00:25:37Neil O'Donnell.
00:25:38You're going to see.
00:25:39He gets good protection right
00:25:40there.
00:25:41Look at Ernie Mills just on
00:25:42the inside of your screen.
00:25:43Wide open.
00:25:44This.
00:25:45Five wide receiver said it's
00:25:46going to give him problems
00:25:47somewhere in the first
00:25:48quarter.
00:25:52Favorites from Dallas lead
00:25:53ten.
00:25:54Nothing.
00:25:55As we open the second quarter
00:25:56Dick Enberg with Paul McGuire
00:25:57and Phil Simms and the
00:25:59Steelers.
00:26:00After the miscue and the
00:26:01snaps.
00:26:02Third down and.
00:26:04About 13 at the thirty nine
00:26:06of Dallas.
00:26:08Now.
00:26:09Yes.
00:26:10Now you're finally settled
00:26:11down and you're in the game
00:26:12and.
00:26:13Really the Steelers had a
00:26:14good run.
00:26:15Five wide formation.
00:26:16Hastings into the back
00:26:17field to pick up a foot
00:26:18serve.
00:26:19He didn't.
00:26:20But Miles can't catch
00:26:21O'Donnell.
00:26:22And throws.
00:26:23Intercepted by Larry
00:26:24Brown.
00:26:25Very similar to Brown's
00:26:26move against Brett Favre
00:26:27in the NFC Championship
00:26:28game.
00:26:30To intercept along the
00:26:31sidelines to end Green
00:26:32Bay's final bid for the
00:26:33lead.
00:26:34But what happens here?
00:26:35Godfrey Miles right here
00:26:36behind these three linemen.
00:26:38The Steelers do not account
00:26:39for it.
00:26:40Look and they get right
00:26:41there.
00:26:42Nobody's there to block
00:26:43Miles.
00:26:44O'Donnell does a good
00:26:45job of getting out.
00:26:46You know what I don't
00:26:47understand is Andre Hastings
00:26:48in the backfield.
00:26:49Why he didn't block him.
00:26:50He runs by Miles.
00:26:51He never even takes a
00:26:52look at him.
00:26:53That's his man.
00:26:54Deion Sanders first
00:26:55return eleven yards.
00:26:56He's back at the ten.
00:26:57Run starts punt.
00:27:01Sanders lets it go.
00:27:03And it's in the end zone
00:27:04for the touch.
00:27:06Serious drive.
00:27:07Stunted by the missed
00:27:08snap.
00:27:09And then Andre Hastings
00:27:10failing to pick up the
00:27:11blitz.
00:27:12There's Godfrey Miles
00:27:13there.
00:27:14And Hastings to the
00:27:15right in the backfield.
00:27:16But watch.
00:27:17He just ducks his head
00:27:18and goes right by the
00:27:19blitzing linebacker.
00:27:20He's avoiding him
00:27:21right here.
00:27:22If he picks him up
00:27:23or even if Newberry
00:27:24slides and picks him up
00:27:25they have all the
00:27:26time in the world
00:27:27to throw the ball.
00:27:29Dallas third
00:27:30possession.
00:27:31They've scored on
00:27:32their first two.
00:27:33Eggman comes out
00:27:34throwing.
00:27:35Over the middle
00:27:36complete to Novacek.
00:27:37Gain of about four.
00:27:38Third catch for
00:27:39Novacek.
00:27:40One of those
00:27:41days.
00:27:44J. Novacek.
00:27:47His mother
00:27:48remember a couple
00:27:49three years ago
00:27:50his mother collected
00:27:51aluminum cans
00:27:52all year long
00:27:53hoping the Cowboys
00:27:54would go to the Super
00:27:55Bowl so she'd
00:27:56pay her own way.
00:27:57She didn't want her
00:27:58son to take care of
00:27:59him so she
00:28:00found a way.
00:28:03She should have
00:28:04hauled around Paul.
00:28:05My wife just used
00:28:06my credit card.
00:28:09Eggman second down
00:28:10Novacek wide open
00:28:11again.
00:28:12And he rolls ahead
00:28:13for two more yards
00:28:14and a first down
00:28:15at the 38.
00:28:16Kevin Green
00:28:17finally downed
00:28:18in 13 more yards.
00:28:19Well the one thing
00:28:20when you're gonna play
00:28:21the Dallas Cowboys
00:28:22you're gonna double
00:28:23the wide receivers.
00:28:24Your linebackers
00:28:25inside must look
00:28:26for J. Novacek
00:28:27down the middle.
00:28:28Right there
00:28:29Kevin Green
00:28:30and LeVar Kirkland
00:28:31nobody goes down
00:28:32the field with him.
00:28:33He's wide open
00:28:34if Troy Eggman
00:28:35throws it up
00:28:36he's gonna run
00:28:37for a big game.
00:28:38Last four plays
00:28:40Novacek has caught
00:28:41more passes than
00:28:42any tight end
00:28:43since 1990
00:28:44and it's the next
00:28:45one at the field
00:28:46tackled by the
00:28:47pro bowler
00:28:48Carnell Lake.
00:28:49You know
00:28:50Carnell Lake
00:28:51they've already said
00:28:52here's a guy
00:28:53who was so unselfish
00:28:54this year
00:28:55that moved from
00:28:56safety to corner
00:28:57and the team asked
00:28:58him if he would
00:28:59do that.
00:29:00He said yes
00:29:01and he's an all pro
00:29:02safety.
00:29:03They say one of
00:29:04the best safeties
00:29:05in the game.
00:29:06This guy goes
00:29:07to the Pro Bowl
00:29:08this year
00:29:09and he's gonna
00:29:10miss.
00:29:11In college
00:29:12he was a
00:29:13linebacker
00:29:14at UCLA
00:29:15and they made
00:29:16a safety
00:29:17out of him
00:29:18and even though
00:29:19he had all the
00:29:20top credentials
00:29:21of this day
00:29:22where there's
00:29:23a lot of meism
00:29:24he said hey
00:29:25for my team
00:29:26I'll play for them.
00:29:27Eggman on
00:29:28second and ten.
00:29:29Oh the big
00:29:30target

00:29:32he just shields
00:29:33the defenders away

00:29:35at the 50.
00:29:36Dick it's an
00:29:37excellent job
00:29:38inside and the
00:29:39linebackers run
00:29:40around here
00:29:41and the linemen
00:29:42do an excellent
00:29:43job.
00:29:44Watch Larry Allen
00:29:45cross Moose Johnson
00:29:46picks it up
00:29:47gives Troy Eggman
00:29:48time to throw it

00:29:56the sun out
00:29:57Carnell Lake
00:29:58has no chance
00:29:59on the ball
00:30:00but look where
00:30:01the ball was
00:30:02thrown
00:30:03down to the
00:30:04outside where
00:30:05you can't
00:30:06get to it.
00:30:07When you talk
00:30:08about
00:30:09the Cowboys
00:30:10regard for Emmitt
00:30:11Smith those big
00:30:12linemen
00:30:13they love to
00:30:14block for him
00:30:15because Emmitt
00:30:16makes such
00:30:17quick decisions
00:30:18they tested
00:30:19his vision
00:30:20he has the
00:30:21eyesight of a
00:30:22guy like Ted
00:30:23Williams

00:30:47thing that he
00:30:48told us way
00:30:49back in the
00:30:50beginning of the
00:30:51year
00:30:52Emmitt said to me
00:30:53I've told these
00:30:54offensive linemen
00:30:55you know they're
00:30:56all 330 and
00:30:57better I mean

00:30:59average 333
00:31:00outside the
00:31:01defense

00:31:25have to do

00:31:27when that vision
00:31:28comes in Dick
00:31:29now he sees
00:31:30if there's not a
00:31:31hole there
00:31:32he doesn't care
00:31:33where it's
00:31:34he runs

00:31:39those darkness
00:31:40runners to block
00:31:41short
00:31:42Johnson
00:31:43Darryl Johnson
00:31:44the popular
00:31:45blocking back
00:31:46gets rare
00:31:47chances to

00:31:49picks up the
00:31:50first down
00:31:51on second and
00:31:52short
00:31:53alright Phil
00:31:54I'm going to
00:31:55tell you now
00:31:56when we sat
00:31:57there talking
00:31:58to Neil O'Donnell
00:31:59the one thing
00:32:00that he said
00:32:01to us is this
00:32:02we've got to
00:32:03we're going to
00:32:04have a long
00:32:05day
00:32:06well it's
00:32:07of course anytime
00:32:08you play in a
00:32:09team of
00:32:10this caliber
00:32:11the Dallas Cowboys
00:32:12you fall behind
00:32:13it just
00:32:14you know
00:32:15of course
00:32:16it makes it
00:32:17so hard to
00:32:18win the football
00:32:19game
00:32:20they would
00:32:21have to hurry
00:32:22up
00:32:23and then that
00:32:24pass rush
00:32:25would be
00:32:26such a big factor
00:32:27dumps it
00:32:28off to
00:32:29Smith
00:32:30and LeVon
00:32:31the first one
00:32:33well the one
00:32:34thing I'm noticing
00:32:35already is
00:32:36that the
00:32:37Pittsburgh Steelers
00:32:38defensive line
00:32:39is getting
00:32:40no pressure
00:32:41on the
00:32:42quarterback
00:32:43what little
00:32:44pressure they
00:32:45have
00:32:46is with
00:32:47the blitz
00:32:48so
00:32:49that is not
00:32:50a good sign
00:32:51for the
00:32:52Pittsburgh Steelers
00:32:53defense
00:32:54you saw
00:32:55Ray Seals
00:32:56that time
00:32:57he never
00:32:58got off
00:32:59the line
00:33:00of scrimmage
00:33:01number 97
00:33:02Smith
00:33:03stepping over
00:33:04his blocker
00:33:05and
00:33:06tripped up
00:33:07by Willie Williams
00:33:12Kevin Green
00:33:13you know
00:33:14is one of those linebackers
00:33:15when they talk about
00:33:16this guy
00:33:1791
00:33:18Mr. Long here
00:33:19they said he brings it
00:33:20to you for 3 hours
00:33:21well he took on
00:33:22Nate Newton
00:33:23forced Emmett
00:33:24to go to the outside
00:33:25and then got help
00:33:26from Willie Williams
00:33:27and the other
00:33:28Pittsburgh Steelers
00:33:29that was his job
00:33:30not to make the tackle
00:33:31Joe Eggman
00:33:32looking to the
00:33:33sidelines
00:33:34and not
00:33:35understanding the
00:33:36ball
00:33:37had his hands
00:33:38outstretched
00:33:39as if to say
00:33:40what do you want
00:33:41Smith goes out
00:33:42Johnston
00:33:43stays in the
00:33:44backfield
00:33:45and Deion
00:33:46Sanders
00:33:47wide right
00:33:48Eggman
00:33:49to Johnston
00:33:50and the quarterback
00:33:51is drilled
00:33:52at the 28
00:33:53yard line
00:33:54might be shy
00:33:55of the first
00:33:56down
00:33:57but depending
00:33:58on the mark
00:33:59Myron Bell
00:34:00they get the ball
00:34:01to the
00:34:02just inside
00:34:03the 27
00:34:04yard line
00:34:05and
00:34:06depends on where
00:34:07they mark this
00:34:08baby
00:34:09it doesn't look
00:34:10good
00:34:11well
00:34:124th and 1
00:34:13if it isn't
00:34:14a first down
00:34:15and of course
00:34:16that stirs up
00:34:17memories of a
00:34:18very down
00:34:19moment for that
00:34:20man Barry Switzer
00:34:21where he went
00:34:22on 2 occasions
00:34:23in Philadelphia
00:34:24deep in his own
00:34:25end on 4th and 1
00:34:26and the Eagles
00:34:27stuffed Emmett
00:34:28Smith
00:34:29Dallas on that day
00:34:30they can't show me
00:34:31where the ball is
00:34:32I gotta see where
00:34:33the ball is
00:34:34come on Paul
00:34:35he said he didn't
00:34:36make it
00:34:37he had to get
00:34:38inside the 27
00:34:39yard line
00:34:40they didn't do it
00:34:41I'm looking at this
00:34:42through all those
00:34:43people Danny
00:34:44you gotta get these
00:34:45guys off the sideline
00:34:46I'm having a tough
00:34:47time here
00:34:48I don't think
00:34:49there's any question
00:34:50right here
00:34:51Barry Switzer
00:34:52will go for it
00:34:53on 4th down
00:34:54the way
00:34:55they're pushing
00:34:56the Steelers
00:34:57defensive line
00:34:58Kendall Watkins
00:34:59a 200
00:35:00we've already seen
00:35:01him blocking
00:35:02the end zone
00:35:03on the touchdown
00:35:04pass
00:35:05he's about 280

00:37:22your
00:37:23shoulders
00:37:24grabs his right hand puts it on the shoulder and pulls him down good call excellent call
00:37:32comes down in 20 one of the few mistakes by the cowboys in this first half over the middle
00:37:37of the check open again and he's on the way to the 15 yard line a gain of 19 before Greg Lloyd
00:37:44can chase him down well you know i said the play before phil on urban interference this guy was in
00:37:51the end zone for a touchdown now they got him split out well watch jay novichek again good
00:37:55job of using his hands puts his left hand on greg lloyd gets inside and people under us to make the
00:38:01speed of jay novichek and what i you saw there too is how aikman with defenders all around
00:38:05novichek i mean he had a very small window and he put him in the right pain gain about a yard
00:38:15it'll be close to a first down at the 14 well dick we shouldn't be surprised by that little
00:38:20window and he threw it in there wednesday we got a chance to go to practice and it was almost
00:38:25memorizing to watch troy aikman throw the football with such accuracy and timing not from this
00:38:31sometimes all the time in practice you know the thing about it too now he you know they have a
00:38:35two-hour practice and obviously he doesn't stand out there and throw the ball for two hours but
00:38:38he's got a pretty good handle on maybe about 50 minutes or so when that one ball hit the ground
00:38:44the other day when this guy was thrown third down third of the first down
00:39:01i can't believe that this play was designed to go outside i believe that it was designed
00:39:05to go to the inside but they shut this thing up what's the pursuit in the speed of this defense
00:39:11and then levon kirkland probably the biggest linebacker maybe
00:39:15in all of professional football about 263 pounds gets there
00:39:21oh boniel comes in for the field goal try out of novichek's hold it'll be a 35 yard attempt
00:39:33and it is good
00:39:35goal michael ervin not happy he thought uh touchdown taken away it should be 17 to nothing
00:39:44but watch michael ervin as he comes down the field right here look at his right hand
00:39:48he gets it on carnell like shoulders right there a good handful of jersey
00:39:52pulls him down that's the reason he was able to catch the touchdown
00:39:57rod woodson one of the great defenders of the 75 years of the nfl made that
00:40:03celebration team and kevin green trying to fire things up the stealers stay within two touchdowns
00:40:09thanks to the penalty against ervin monio very high on his kick ernie mills at the 10
00:40:18and mills spins up across the 30 yard line to the 32 where brock marion makes this
00:40:25productive first half but not as good as the cowboys wanted a couple of field goals and a
00:40:29touchdown out of their three possessions and flying above sun devil stadium this evening is the
00:40:34bud one airship dick this bud for you you couldn't wait for that this buds
00:40:42really did it well i thought first down pittsburgh at the 32 yard line
00:40:48oh
00:41:02set a record for a season with 85 catches that went a little behind him well we've set up here
00:41:08and of course we have a good view but one thing we've said already neil o'donnell has given a
00:41:12little time and the receivers are open down the field right there nobody's really around yancey
00:41:18picked him but neil o'donnell throws it just a little bit too far behind him two tight ends
00:41:23jonathan hayes and mark bruner bookend bruner in motion
00:41:31what is the block area that one was in trouble from the handoff o'donnell barely got out of the
00:41:35way i think if you go first down you throw and you don't get anything and then you run that play
00:41:41with two tight ends so they're waiting on run and you don't get anything i mean there's something
00:41:46this offense has got to take some up some slack from the defense and give these guys a rest
00:41:51steelers have scored in the second quarter all season long it's been a good period for them
00:41:55including the playoffs they've not been sent out in the second quarter and we have only five minutes
00:42:00plus remaining today
00:42:13guess who's covering downfield the guy we haven't mentioned all day long
00:42:18they have a blitz leon led his attack on probably the biggest defensive lineman they have and he's
00:42:24downfield making some coverage but paul look what happens here's leon led he's going to drop back
00:42:28watch the blitz from the top looking for something to neil o'donnell's right he gets back there
00:42:34not a factor but they still got pressure on neil o'donnell all three and out for the steelers on
00:42:39their own start to kick off the side of his foot deon sanders lets it bounce a good pittsburgh roll
00:42:45and he's covered by leaf and flowers and as the cowboys touch the ball let's see if the
00:42:52steelers are ruled the possession it appeared to touch a cowboy leg
00:42:57dick it does but i'm going to tell you what happens they knock the player into the ball
00:43:03and it is dallas's ball they ruled cowboys ball it was touched but uh apparently on a push by a
00:43:13steeler coming downfield now watch number 23 he's going to get knocked from behind
00:43:22they don't see if it hits him or not gildan is the guy that hit him number 92
00:43:27watch this does he hit does he get hit here's go got it that's bell hitting 40
00:43:35even if robert bailey had unintentionally touched that ball he was blocked into it and
00:43:41rule state but then the receiving team does maintain possession and so it is from the 14
00:43:48after the 55 yard punt by start plenty of time under five minutes remaining in this first time
00:44:00let's go back to the punt
00:44:04right here you're going to see right here's robert bailey and watch myron bell come up
00:44:08and hit him in the back but it looks like yeah it looks like he touches the ball but
00:44:13i don't know he might have the back of his legs might have touched that football right there but
00:44:16it would not matter it's still with the dolder receiving team the acorn again look at this field
00:44:21it's supposed to be so tight and here's acorn slipping down again it's it's unbelievable
00:44:27we thought it was a lot better that is a string of 10 straight completions for
00:44:32him
00:44:42emmet still down and emmet smith is hurt lloyd hit him and flies up lip and here comes lloyd
00:44:47down and watch this you talk about sacrifice your body he goes underneath the block and gets emmet
00:44:52something i've noticed already greg roy when these big linemen are pulling out now
00:44:56he has decided to take his side so they that way he will have to take them on
00:45:00because he cannot win that battle very smart good smart that's right
00:45:04third and a long time beyond sanders to the left three receivers to the right
00:45:12nova check has been the man in this situation akeman over the middle incomplete knocked down
00:45:18by chris oldham and urban was breaking into claire at oldham not gotten the left paw on the way
00:45:26boy you know they're showing an awful lot of confidence at rothwoods and they're lining him
00:45:30up on dion sanders and letting him play one and one so they have the compass here it comes what's
00:45:34an excellent job look at troy right there really never sees chris oldham if that ball would have
00:45:39been down chris oldham would have picked that off and probably scored a touchdown
00:45:43right hand knocks it away and for the first time the cowboys three and out
00:45:48andre hastings at the 42 of pittsburgh first punt for john jess
00:45:53and he sends up beautiful perfect spiral
00:46:04runs into his own man and down he goes near the 50 yard line woolly williams actually made the
00:46:12hit on andre hastings well he was he was blocking dale hellis tray number 70 for
00:46:16dallas and they ran into each other no flags on the return and pittsburgh
00:46:23now let's we'll start from the 46 yard line dick they gotta light it up they've got i mean they've
00:46:29got to do something now phil one of those special plays that they have in that jar and he says we're
00:46:35going to empty it they better start emptying the jar now three minutes 52 seconds remain in the
00:46:41opening half 13 nothing dallas
00:46:53well it was a good play call right there by the pittsburgh steelers and ron airhock the offensive
00:46:58coordinator neil o'donnell the receiver's wide open he's a little too careful with the football
00:47:03threw it outside the receiver's not able to make the adjustment
00:47:07when he was he said go out open that was an eight-yard completion and would have ended up
00:47:11close to a first down if not get it o'donnell would play that maryland recruited there by bobby
00:47:17ross the charger coach his fourth or ten in this opening
00:47:25the texan breaks down and charles haley has his first sack today let me just say one thing before
00:47:32you describe all this stuff phil the reason this sack comes because of the great coverage downfield
00:47:37this is the coverage that haley gets haley gets credit for it but look what happens here there's
00:47:43a lot of time back in the backfield well john jackson right there really had him in good
00:47:47position john jackson did not expect neil o'donnell to be so deep in your right paul
00:47:52the coverage downfield was excellent neil o'donnell retreating the middle
00:47:57right into the hands of charles haley shooting for his fifth super bowl ring two of the 49ers
00:48:02two of the cowboys his parents seeing their first super bowl game from glass virginia
00:48:17he's at the 44 and appears he's just shot it's four down territory you've got three minutes to
00:48:23go you've got to score you've got to at least get on the board they've got about a half a yard
00:48:27for a first half you have to get inside the 44 yard line they are not inside it's going to be
00:48:35short about a half a yard and that's about it well you talk about running after the cat still
00:48:39sam's hastings was really determined to get to the sticks he was dicking that was a good job by neil
00:48:44o'donnell stay in patience hasting andre hastings was actually in the backfield that time released
00:48:50underneath and just caught that ball running full speed half yard third down fourth down
00:48:59fourth and inches there's hastings effort well andre hastings is going to make sure if they do
00:49:05blitz he's going to be in the backfield to catch but look at him right here watching sneak through
00:49:09there cowboys are thinking it's going to be down the field he catches that ball he is full speed
00:49:14right there
00:49:18here's deon sanders coming up trying to make the tackle oh
00:49:20watch this oh hey michael get down are you watching oh that'll take a little wester off
00:49:27the neon yeah well i wonder if zipco was watching that play this is the second fourth down where
00:49:33pittsburgh has gone fourth they use cordell stewart on a snake for a first down and he's
00:49:39under center again go right cornell go right he has third down pittsburgh well the whole
00:49:47big opening is right inside cordell stewart he has brought so much to this pittsburgh team
00:49:56that's why the nickname slash quarterback slash receiver and in this computer age
00:50:02you can punch up some pretty impressive numbers for slash
00:50:06and as a quarterback he's five for seven as a running back average 5.7 and 14 catches
00:50:17and he's even putted once for 41 yards
00:50:25now i'll tell you what here's where you could have some offensive pass interference on big
00:50:28fish and that's what deon is talking about think that this time was pushing up on a way down the
00:50:33field i'll tell you what paul if you want to throw the football down the field on deon sanders
00:50:38and these type of routes watch your yancy thick fins going to release outside deon has him pinned
00:50:43to the sideline the only chance you have is to throw it behind the receiver where he can stop
00:50:48and catch on the outside shoulder i still think the only place to go for deon sanders too is if
00:50:53you're gonna throw you go inside absolutely throw inside of him don't go outside or down the field
00:50:59first time they tested sanders in this half second and ten
00:51:05down big man rumbles first down at the 30 with 206 and kicking away we come to the two minute
00:51:13timeout pittsburgh's best chance to score bill power stealers have been outstanding the final
00:51:20two minutes of the first half in fact in the second quarter last two minutes they've scored
00:51:25nine of their last 11 games bodes well for pittsburgh first down at the dallas 30 trailing
00:51:3213 nothing trying to find a hole off that right side look like he had some running room
00:51:38but darren smith closed the hole
00:51:44second down and seven and a timeout call
00:51:50no there's no time no no timeout what the stealers right here of course you want to
00:51:54try to score but also do not give the cowboys time left on the clock so they get one more
00:51:59opportunity
00:52:08jonathan hayes never had control covered by nixon edwards jonathan hayes you got to turn your hands
00:52:13around the other way jonathan jonathan has his hands upside down watch when he throws his ball
00:52:19on the outside look at jonathan hayes's hands they're down turn around like that get your hands
00:52:23back to the ball make the turn make the catch of the football first before you run
00:52:29this is not four down territory it'll be a field goal if they don't make make the
00:52:32sport first down o'donnell has hit on only one of his last seven throws third and seven
00:52:42they go to the five live with john l williams in the backfield
00:52:47throw complete but short of the first down bernie mills hit right at the 20 yard line
00:52:54did not penetrate which would be required for the first down so it's going to be inches short
00:52:59oh what a mark they're getting oh man they mark it on the 21st down pittsburgh
00:53:07now wait a minute it's got to be where the ball ends up now this has got to be one of
00:53:11the greatest marks i've ever seen yeah you're right i think you're right barry
00:53:15this baby has got to be just inside the 20 on the black line that angle there look where he
00:53:21comes down he said here he's knocked way back it's not where he comes in down paul's where he
00:53:25catches it up in the air right here you can see he's not behind the line it's pretty close
00:53:33but a generous spot nevertheless you don't usually get that kind of forward progress on that play
00:53:39we'll tell you guys now for the last the last game this year don't you go questioning my eyes
00:53:43now not now well it's a first down for the steelers with a timeout and 105 left in this
00:53:52first half and it's very apparent even for those who don't watch a lot of football and come around
00:53:59at super bowl time that with the recent records of the nfc domination over the afc and the cowboys
00:54:05scoring on their first three possessions and it looked as if at times they might
00:54:10run away that a steeler touchdown here could make this an interesting sunday but if they
00:54:16are failed to score then perhaps we're off to another disappointing super bowl experience
00:54:27that is the encouraging statistic for steeler fans
00:54:33first down and 10 charles hailey almost went into pittsburgh hunting to say something to
00:54:37john jackson i don't know what he said but he's lined up on him fordell slotted left
00:54:45forward in motion
00:54:50o'connor was sacked by chad hennings
00:54:55hennings the two-time gte academic all america from the air force academy the 288 pound
00:55:02former pilot in the persian gulf crisis there's a little confusion i think inside
00:55:08like well chad hennings all he does is just throw tom newberry to the side and get straight to the
00:55:12quarterback mill donald's got to be ready short drop with the break screen the defensive lineman
00:55:17throw it away joe palooka type from elvington iowa population 150 second down underneath the
00:55:26tackled immediately good coverage from robert bailey a former ram but what you do here the
00:55:32first thing you want to make sure give yourself a chance to kick this field goal
00:55:37now the steelers will use a timeout here with the ball just outside the 23 yard line
00:55:45not only is nbc producing worldwide coverage of the super bowl today we're also producing coverage

00:56:15i'm
00:56:17third down and 14 is the ball the steelers are in field goal range
00:56:24and uh phil send you say here you play it fairly conservative well i think you do really dick i
00:56:28know of course juan airheart the offensive coordinator right here is the time where he
00:56:33likes to take a little shot into the end zone spread the field send one of the receivers down
00:56:38a seam and try to get the big play for the touchdown right here or you don't just kick
00:56:43the field all right phil you've been watching five wide in this five wide set so far who is
00:56:47usually open everybody somebody well somebody has been open every plane that's usually inside so
00:56:52here we have the five wide receiver set with the stewart the nearest receiver on the right side
00:57:01logano has to hurry to the end zone
00:57:07mills who made the brilliant reception at the end of the ac championship game against the poles
00:57:13and the steelers spend their final time out a 17 yard play and what a catch by this young man who
00:57:20played with emin smith at the university of florida and you're right you said somebody's
00:57:24going to be wide open and he was wide over there's ernie mills going to come across watch
00:57:27the clear out right here inside is where people have been coming open most of the day ernie mills
00:57:33cuts inside what a catch going up high knowing he was going to get hit when the ball was delivered
00:57:39scott case the defender oh he gets nailed by scott case but watch this catch that ball is
00:57:43bob bobbled in the air and he still has enough to hold on to the football they pick up the first
00:57:48down the only problem is they're running out of time they only have 17 seconds and they have no
00:57:52more time outs ball at the six yard line well with a pass you're two passes into the end zone
00:57:58and if you don't make it the deal goes i think i think right here dick quick passes you have three
00:58:04but the thing about it is phil is you've got to make sure that guy you're throwing to
00:58:09it's not in a crowd you've got to throw that baby i would say
00:58:12to the outside more so than the inside they stay with the five wide
00:58:35so
00:58:50take our daughter megan leading the chairs as the sealers
00:58:54threaten to make this a super bowl game
00:58:59oh
