1980 Chargers @ Cowboys

hey Don coach this seems like old times I'm asking questions and you're supposed to have the answer so I start off with what I wish I had the answer lot of folks are willing to know about Tony grocery he hasn't worked out this year do you think you'll play are you gonna start even well he said he felt pretty good we're not going sorry we're on Springs a start he's got a little soreness left which is I don't know what I'm gonna play I'm not done I'm gonna have to wait and see okay yeah the car y'all teams with the past have all been high scoring you shifted to defense this year you actually you play some good defensive game said you've done anything different they're trying to flag all these guys there well we sure we try to do I'm not gonna tell you what are you gonna do it's tough I tell you having to flip you can't make any mistakes done that's the main thing you make mistakes you're gonna get song and if we don't make you a mistakes we might play pretty good defense all right coach good luck thank you let's go back Frank we'll get this thing going thank you lot all right Frank take it away all right Don he wouldn't tell you anything for nine years he wouldn't tell you anything tonight we really fight frankly blaming Tom Landry of course worried about the San Diego Chargers he's worried about the Philadelphia Eagles the Eagles winners today over the Chicago Bears as we mentioned at the top of the show these Dallas Cowboys must win tonight to stay one game behind the Philadelphia Eagles meanwhile the San Diego Chargers well they beat the Giants a week ago but two weeks ago they were thrashed by the Oakland Raiders and the open Raiders well they'd move into a tie should the charges lose tonight San Diego with a victory could remain a game ahead and we are looking for an aerial carnival tonight the receiving unit as we can see the charges dropping into position here is a much-traveled man once e a much-discussed man he joined the San Diego Chargers a couple of weeks ago in a trade that was reported to have required only a number two draft pick so there has to be some question as to why the New Orleans Saints released Muncie there were many questions surrounding this ban but we do know that when he's right he's playing is a great athlete set to kickoff Rafael set T on the do deep manner Muncie 46 in Mike fuller 42 in from Texas Stadium 65,000 looking on the way Muncie will bring it out of the end zone Mundt c63 233 pounds rowers after the 42 yard line Dexter Clinkscale made the stop for Dallas let's meet the offensive unit Dan Fouts he just comes out throwing he sets up the run with the pass and the setbacks we will see once he's starting tonight in place of Clarence Williams his first start in the offense he set the wide receivers they are something special both of them the wide receivers over 100 yards we could go against the Giants the tie Kellen Winslow also had big yards against the Giants on first down pass to the air we didn't take anything else it's complete into Dallas Cowboy Territory for 49 yard line to John Jefferson that's his 39th reception on the year and Foust looking over to pick up the plays that are called down by Joe Gibbs the offensive coordinator they are now flashed out to Foust as we look at the defensive unit a defensive unit that quite frankly was in a transition state early in the year they have come together they have 13 interceptions back there Tom Landry building much of his training camp time to rebuilding the Cowboys defensive hurt a year ago second down the stem yard to go cappelletti gets the first down easily moving up close to the 45 yard line of the Cowboys taken there by Charlie waters Charlie waters of course coming off knee surgery of the year ago he is the stability in that secondary for the Dallas Cowboys number 41 because it has been in a tremendous change over the years Steve Wilson a second-year man is at one cornerback Mary Mitchell 34 another secondary manaphy other cornerback and they will be tested tonight first down Winslow in motion looking for trouble joiner and in complete dd-do lewis back there defensively but Joyner was there he was open Foust missed on the past and he doesn't do that often it'll be second intent well as you have said they used the pass to set up the pass there's no fear in this team this is an angry man Dan Fouts and he is also an exceptional quarterback you mentioned Charlie waters because the others are so young they call them Charlie's Angels second down ten thousand looking it over Jefferson and Jefferson in front of Aaron Mitchell first down San Diego down inside the 30 close to the 28 yard line there is simply no way to cover John Jefferson one on nobody but nobody in the league can do it I think - you gotta an indication of what Muncie can mean to this team when he returned the opening kickoff the way he did toy yell is delighted with him single setback now is cappelletti us to tie down wins though the second-year man from Missouri in motion and here comes capillary right-sided cappelletti taken out quickly by Michael Hickman this a yard a yard and a half down to about the 27 yard line alright what'd I miss well you have missed a lot except Muncie had a fine fine return opening return to the kickoff yeah and quickly fouled started doing his thing right great did his thing with you the way he did 20 years don't make any mistakes Meredith Don Jose come on go she got out something move on that second down and eight the bottle for 27 yard line of the Dallas Cowboys you saw a quick look at the enthusiastic Don Coryell the Chargers coach this is hunting that much see taken again by hate gain of maybe a yard of the be third in lawn third and seven as Mike Hickman who was put on the spot a year ago when he replaced Hollywood Henderson well he has performed brilliantly for the Cowboys thus far there was actually about a half a yard loss so we'll call it third down and eight the ball at the 27 yard line and in comes a special unit for the Dallas Cowboys their pass defense if you build a pinion pink scalp number 47 Iranian Dickerson number 51 Vinny Barnes on the 31 Mike Thomas number 22 a good receiver just activated last week is in there for the target and behind Jefferson whether John Floyd the speedster had come into three wide receiver deployment of the San Diego Chargers and out comes Rob the nurse gun and what a story Ralph Anushka is a story which Frank will develop for you at halftime certainly one of the warm and beautiful human interest stories in American sport or internationals surgery on Crohn's disease a year ago a year ago tonight he was in the hospital this attempt from 45-yards he is 10 of 14 on the season he's hit three times from 50 or more lonna distance a lot of accuracy and burn irska hits from 45 yards out of the charges quickly on the scoreboard San Diego three to nothing over the Dallas Cowboys and we'll be back the rookie Dallas Cowboy from Mississippi State vs Dane Jones the Cowboys second third round draft pick view has positioned himself in the middle of the field of the goal line awaiting the kicker awful butter Scott who has just hit from 45 yards out the nurse because I said before 10 or 14 on the season 53 but he has other kicks 50 and 52 remarkable young man Anushka sorry you said flag is down indicating the offside but this would be Jones downs almost gets to the outside and he does amble out to the 35-yard behind before Frank Duncan took him there but again a flag is down indicating that the Chargers apparently we're offside and a fine return and you might suspect that they will be declined that's the Jimmy Jones from Mississippi State a Gil Brandt discovery that we were so impressed with remembered your on opening game in Washington outside Barry where that guy came from and evidently they find him most everywhere you've got to recover that time offsides kicking team on the kickoff decline first ow my referee tonight dick Jorgensen he'll be talking to us hopefully infrequently we almost wore out our RF a week ago at the Pittsburgh open game up comes Danny why third in the National Football Conference taking over under a lot of pressure this year and doing well of course taking over from Roger Staubach quick reverse funny Georgia green Billy Joe lumber is out for a first down to the 46 yard line taken there by woody mode defensively and let's meet the opt-ins to get over the Dallas Cowboys anyway I saw a quarterback passing at 64% Tony Dorsett is +2 the bullet ID does have a flak jacket on he has not worked all week sore riffs from the Philadelphia game your wide receivers they're a pretty good set do Pearson and of course told me he loved her 80 when he catches the football is basically a running back Cowboys have their first time out of the hole 46 yard line Timmy Houston now rookie from winston-salem is in there this is Ron Springs Springs a couple yards up to the 48 and a flag is down at the tackle position as we look at the defense women loosen the setback for the Cowboys number 30 and you see the San Diego Chargers a facemask all [Applause] and already we're seeing what we anticipated the team's moving back and forth up and down the field here's our Cosmo file five-yard facemask file number 51 defense first off Leeloo the offending San Diego charger automatic first accompanying the call the ball is now at the Chargers 46 yard line the setbacks and they'll change all night for Dallas now our 20 Ron Springs a second-year man from Ohio State and Robert Newhouse over 44 warm night humid 70 degrees showers expected this is new house that new house ran into big crept Dean the defensive right in ball advance up to the 43 yard line a game of a couple it will be second down and eight Frank you mentioned Fred Dean one of the great strengths of San Diego is their front for maybe the greatest strength of Dallas is its front for Louis Celts you 74s back in action tonight he had been out briefly with an injury you'll see him defense the run will not be obvious passing GRU Pearson doctor your picture and any whites through the curtain he's piled up Brett Dean getting in their verdict with gary johnson big gary johnson i going big hands and he was Paul Danny white he's one of the frontcourt power that you didn't have a chance to get to but he leads the team in quarterback sacks and you can see right there man he just looked like he broke out of a hole at the head the last group is they found a hole there buddy steel gun but interesting Lee was a holdout he didn't report till just before the third game of the season but he's in shape Louie culture you saw big number 74 is also into charges lined up tonight he was hurt in the Oakland game two weeks ago hyper extension of the knee he was also close to the side third down and 16 ball back with the 47 yard line I'm out of the shotgun is Danny white [Music] oh what a catch he has the first down it was a great catch he was going to be hit he was by house stringer but he gets the first down puts Johnson you'll remember the extraordinary catch as we look at it again done that he made in the Superbowl game against him he is a superb receiver sometimes it seems criminal that he has not played over drew Pierce that's a decision that Tom Landry has to make and it's a problem that shows the quality of personnel in this Dallas team whereas he's playing behind Pierson and Tony Hill receivers a year ago and when you want to bring in a third when it's great to have a Thompson here comes lime springs and lime springs inside the 30 down close to the 28 yard line a game about four it'll be second down and six Bob born number 55 the middle linebacker defensively for San Diego Ron Springs maybe one of the best finds that he's talking about McGill Brent that they've ever had in this this organization he is to seem like he showed up Michigan State didn't play that football the last part of year was a baseball came down here in training camp they said this is the kind of guy because he can play all up he's playing over indoors his place tonight Robert Newhouse Ohio State change of setbacks the receiver dumps it off bonito debris down the 25-yard line short of the first time by a couple upended by he fencing back down there number 28 and it was Fred Deane pressuring Danny white out of the pocket white is smart the smarts that he has the perception he has has enabled him to grow with enormous rapidity this year beginning the season under terrible pressure as the success of the Starbuck is responded with increasing maturity the last play and here's 720 Hills but third down [Music] Kristen Gerson in the liner now good receiver for the Cowboys those downfield no flags go down as Drew Pearson got all tangled up there with defender Mike fuller so it'll be fourth down and that should produce the field goal unit for the Cowboys principally Raphael set T on Sep dianna six of eight of the year and his long thus far this year is 38 yards [Applause] vanechka case you have joined us late on the charges first possession hit from 45 yards out the charges now on top three to nothing this will be a 43 yard attempt Raphael Sethi on Charlie waters holy snap the ball up right so the Tigers will have possession and they'll have possession at their own 25-yard line wrap the su-kyong missing from 43 yards out of the charges stay on top Drina nothing 812 remaining in the first quarter of course lifted here in the Dallas area the Dallas Cowboys one game behind if they can win tonight the Philadelphia Eagles they were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles Victor mails trips a week ago 17 to 10 the Chargers need a victory to stay a game on first down sandy alien possession that drone 25-yard line Chuck man say what brother wide open downfield [Music] [Applause] while they had him did they yep this is the value beginner at a Chuck Muncey he threw one like that in the Pro Bowl where he was the MVP of the game they got themselves of beauty in Munson he was a package last year in New Orleans 1198 yards rushing he had 40 receptions there he is obviously there were problems disagreements in New Orleans because you never let a Chuck months ago if you have one Harleen number 41 defense first down Charlie waters did the only thing he could do back there as flying by was Clarence Williams and had Muncie been on target what would have been six you know he probably said cool there's not a good work you know you think about what you know what's the best thing you do is grabbing first and ten now at the Williams in motion bounce to the air I'll tell you we have seen Jefferson catch those kind of footballs he there's a tremendous sleeper a 6-1 and 198 that that was slightly overthrown every second attempt he laid that up beautifully yet another man he could have thrown to Charlie Joyner number 18 who was even further down this is a tough team to defeat affiliate Aaron Mitchell was after the outside I think maybe it's a pretty good defensive play by Mitchell when he saw the ball in the air he fell off of his receiver came back in he was actually closer in the receiver was his column safe on second and 10 Damphousse to set an NFL last year four thousand and eighty two yards with the Dallas defense inside call it for about three yards of the third down and seven fall out of 32 laughs also as past 14 times for 300 more yards he did it six times a year ago he lost three of the games I might add cost Landry is very familiar with boy yell what a rivalry they had when yl is goating at st. Louis six four eggs but they've split the last like Thomas marvel Washington activated a week ago where it's 22 for the Chargers good receiver he's in there on third and seven fires a timing pass to John Jefferson he'll be close to a first down I think he that was just right on the money now that's another thing we've talked about a lot is how the receiver must know what that distance requirement is and you saw Jefferson make just the great gut wall was pretty was throwing good timing wood and he picks up the force for the first down at the 41 yard line Tom Jefferson two thousand yard seasons only two other players in the history of pro football at them that you help Bob Hayes do it Don and of course Bill broman with the Houston Oilers did it in 1661 because a thousand yards this year he'll be the only man ever to do it first and ten as Muncie Muncy like all great packs gets a lot more yardage than he appears to get hits inside just over the 45-yard line for a gain of four will be second down and six taken there by DD Lewis number 50 you played with him Don he's uh he really is a highly underrated player he's a very heads-up player he's really he does he knows the defense is so well and he gets himself in a good position and that's the whole key to what I'm about to do I get the guys don't make any mistake Mike Thomas said motion on second down and six quick toss Muncie let's see going close to another first down this will depend upon where they market using that 230 pounds and all the acceleration that he can generate interesting to see this though boy yell is stated through the years give me running backs I'll play a running game I'll keep to my passing attack but I'm not afraid to use a running game if I've got the guy who can execute I think that's true but I think it is he's stealing much credit throw he just likes to throw that ball in here I think that's this philosophy whatever do you say what hey the Huff's it's ro we've got a guy like Munson here right you guys Yanis you keep those guys around [Applause] [Music] quite under here Brian cite the flavor third and short [Music] cappelletti [Applause] [Music] clinched it that Cowboys verse forming they tried to go right over Harvey Martin and Randy white over the right side that's a pretty tough side to run over when you need even Ichi they do of course probably will go there a lot argued Russ Russ Washington on their right side is missing he's out for the season they have a youngster in there Dan Audie working against Edie Jones the Chargers of course West Washington couple weeks ago and they will be the first job by about a foot with the three to nothing laid six oh four remaining in the first quarter send out the punting unit wings ripped cut trees with a 42.6 average Rutgers was a teammate of tucked Muncey's a year ago with New Orleans popping deep James Jones the rookie that we smoked up already Mississippi State [Music] Partridge it's a bad drop it does not turn over this is Jones from his 17 yard line don't gets back out to the 18 yard line hustling down there was linebacker cliff grep for the San Diego Chargers so the Cowboys will have possession at their own 18 yard line they're down by three we'll be back ranked every with howard cosell in Don Meredith you never played in the stadium no sir somehow dodge is that Silver Bullet I left all my stuff out there for cotton ball it didn't finish the top of it I know I'm not talking about that they're not gonna let I'm gonna put a top on this they let the balloons out up there no they really did they've done a lot of things the number one that came out here they don't have air conditioners this thing now they must know about energy cut all time Cowboys trailing 3 to nothing first attend the ball near their own 18 yard line Danny white brings them up Springs a new house Springs 20 new house 44 those are your setbacks quite quickly pattern for Tony Hill Tony Hill it's out of bounds up close to the 25-yard line for a gain of seven it'll be second down and three Mike Williams was giving Tony Hill a lot of area smart move he can't read it up hurry the same time he got to be careful on Mike Williams yep unnoticed last year he became one the most effective facts defensive backs in the late look at Tom Landry getting help from Danny Reeves up in the press box sending the plays into Danny light inside out Robert Newhouse gets out over the 25 close to the 27 yard line short of the first down it'll be third at about two you would think that the Cowboys would be able to run against San Diego Frankie over there 12th in the league against the run and they didn't run that well last week against Philadelphia so you have to think then the Dorsett out maybe that's going to be an equalizer but I think that the cowboy was expected to be able to move the ball they would love to just eat up the clock as much as they can for some obvious reason no five minutes remaining in the first quarter and on third and along to white puts it in the air his receiver Drew Pearson incomplete it'll be fourth down and we'll see the punting unit in San Diego we'll get possession again that looked like just another series of downs but it was really more than that it's important for Dallas to be able to begin to move the football they didn't prove they could do a thing I think you're right Danny wide was a 40 point for average Tom Landry would brother that Danny white was not doing the kicking as they look at Mike fuller for the charges but he's the best he's got fuller is a little guy but he's a daughter as you know Frank he lost his job in the defensive secondary Shaw outplayed him he's been returning Plus for five years and has almost a 12 yard average on a return and a beautiful kick by white Bearcats called for he had to call it did like fuller at his 34 yard line hustling down there one of the outstanding young rookies for the Dallas Cowboys Anthony Dickenson who played his collegiate football or some of it here at SMU right here in Dallas timeout it will be back to 449 remaining in the first quarter Texas Stadium Irving Texas the charge is on top of the Cowboys Tartars with the first and ten the ball at their own 34 yard line and Dan Fouts the if you will brings his aerial circus up to the line of scrimmage I like it first and ten letti in motion dumps it off two months in Muncie attracts a crowd and if he was touched while he was down it will go back to saw nothing but a flag though nobody's blowing a whistle either Denis Thurmond is trying to take muttsy which he does down around the seven yard line a flag is down we're Muncie was down this is going to be an interest yes it's coming back parent light defensive captain Bob Bruning in there here's the call clipping against San Diego Tuchman say gave the Dallas Cowboy partisan fans a little bit of a thrill and they'll bring it all back a little bit of a scare watching him run he looks so if some fluid man he moved and he does that that's pianist Thurman has thought of murder here Dennis Thurman tunneled them very well she did Thurman is a good good football player not very big but before that play done this is interesting San Diego is to use six power play go first on seven rush plates so cool yeah what has changed this batter from the moment Chuck Muncie runner-up for the Heisman award at the University of California at over 1400 yards there is a senior obviously a number one draft seventy-six came to the target a little over two weeks ago the down remains the same first round is in Muncie again and Muncie gets away from dickerson and just runs over to a scale out to the 35 the 37 yard line he gets a bunch of it back about 15 it'll be second down and about a you're doing a real number on that Jones at the defensive end it's a technique that the Cowboys if we refer to as an influence block they don't really hit him that hard they felt let him his weight his momentum carrying to the inside muttsy dipped to the outside and it's been reaching for thin air for the last free time so far tonight interestingly Artic is the man against Jones tonight Frei [Music] 78 for Dallas is John Dutton defensively Charlie joiner and joiner taken by Aaron Mentos but not until he has the first down now close to the 48 yard line well by this time fans around the National Football League know about that man charlie Joyner out of Grambling college originally drafted by Houston when plasmin was what Houston traded to Cincinnati they traded in the San Diego and one of the best field San Diego ever made he has a way of finding the open spaces and he has a way of responding to enjoy oh did we see that last year exactly on first and ten with the Chargers as a troops moving tip bro and I'm saying he left off the Charlie Joyner saw out of the corner of his eye Jefferson pops in for a first down and this is one great passing quarterback that's one of the toughest ones to throw so you're talking about a 20-yard sideline and you're right he's little play-action pass in the middle break he's hit the two guys down deep full of deep sideline look at the ball not a ripple in it just right on the money good catch by Jefferson well you have to have power in the on the throw back wall to the line of scrimmage the line of scrimmage at 35 yard the Dallas Cowboys first antenna charges we've got to give it to one of his trips and hustling in there with Big Ed Jones about furry why another big whoops I think maths turn the wrong way yep busted yeah he made the wrong move that time deceives a beauty spot out the other way he would either been a fake I guess that was a run off tackle dances wait a minute what a frightening thing it is the suit odiously what did I do wrong that Jones 6:9 260 pounder you needing a couple times when you start brushing up on your own your blades you understand get those assignments down like Thomas under 22 in there offensively for a San Diego good receiver second down 16 [Applause] Wilson oh right in front of wide reciever John Floyd collect at the file a steve wilson on his third interception of the year gets all the way inside of san diego's 35 yard body now that's the break that the Cowboys [Music] he's trying to come back to the well again he waited a lei the troll vessel this is John Floyd number 486 didn't let a fan route maybe could have broken off a little bit but Steve Wilton has a great position inside position play the ball I think if anything dance vision cousin embarrassed a great shock he was a wide receiver the kickoff return man a year ago Benny Barnes got hurt at that position they moved him in there he's going to starter every since the beginning of the season third interception of the year the Cowboys 14th that eclipses all their interceptions of the season just passed on first and ten wipe to the air when they toget free Billy Southie Vani first down Dallas hey terrific pattern they set the two wide receivers deep is the ground level look little play-action pass to the outside take the springs got good protection look that offense the late game across the middle nobody there to pick him up as a big ol boy an eight-six for 230 pounds mr. clutch bad he doesn't catch that many footballs but he scores a lot when he does catch it we've got three good tied in solid in kasnia booger good call inside the 21-yard line of the charges at Cowboys down three to nothing bran spring right side brings benefit a lot from Rafferty and his frenzy a flag is down weather is [Music] Frank what address terrific job of acceleration - he did get a good block but you'll see I'm sure he really let that block kaplan and then he just a quick little burst of speed and shot right through the old that's the thing that makes a great back as you know the ability to they smash ball against Dallas us astray oh they all stand that I was about to say the ability to explode that hole where ordinary back we'll only get six yards a back like Springs pick up 1214 need that shifting gears there's no foul five-yard facemask on the offense the foil carrier had the facemask of the tackler it's a first dog interesting call oh they got heard that [Applause] first down stays peneleus marked off putting the ball inside the eight yard the first down of gold runningbacks 44 new 23 James Dome the looking for Mississippi State [Applause] wide receivers Pearson Hill topping your screen promotion man is Jones jumped off sighs here comes Newhouse inside the five post with the three [Applause] Wilbur young I believe was the Sunday with charger that was trying to anticipate the count I'll put that building they cover down [Applause] finance situation Jase all these the backup died in starting over 87 and he made a I'm a very astute comment he loves he said I catch that ball he said what people don't love I've been catching with from Danny white for the last three years and that we run run the other people's calls here's the fate the facemask all we hit he says get away from me that's a good call [Music] Cowboys didn't accept the penalty lay down remains the same the ball at the four yard two minutes remaining the first quarter charges temporarily on [Applause] Springs a new house the setbacks for the Cowboys [Music] the second-year man from Ohio State they turned the corner got the first to go very good athlete he does a lot of things with Dom mentioned earlier good baseball player fairly cheap in the draft the fifth round because he was hurt as a senior let's watch him again block over here on the left side you see that was done Cosby number 84 he's rapidly out in front 64 they had that one blocked so well that was Dan horn the middle linebacker who was out on the outside didn't close quick enough to make the time I'm springs on who Rafferty half this game ball company with the key block on the long run and here's Safdie out and the Cowboys take a seven-to-three lead [Applause] [Music] stay there for very long we'll be back at Texas Stadium in a moment mekka near matt second-year man steve wilson got it all started with an interception back at his own 30 yard line on Springs did the bulk of the work as the Cowboys go in to take the lead 7 to 3 over San Diego's empty on hits it towards bike fuller like fuller takes it at the six the pressure of a cowboy a special team at the 18-yard line what you most have to respect about the Cowboys it seems to me Frank is the way they've been rebuilt under the leadership of Landry and Gil Brandt they've got six rookies on this club the two players who've taken in the last turn about the Cape Dallas the lead Steve Wilson and Ron Springs for second yeah man free-agent yet they rebuild a team with youth and at the same time sustain that continuing excellence of all the reason is that's organization first and ten to the air man wide open Jefferson and Jefferson for the sideline saw he had Running Room and moves out of it a 35 goes to the 37 Aaron Mitchell fouling up his coverage back there defensively with Charlie waters the water is the better back there now talking to them and trying to explain what went wrong when you have to give instant credit to fouls he comes back unafraid after the last interception oh yeah he's not gonna be afraid that was really a rather ingenious past pattern two weeks ago against Oakland he was sacked seven times again and again he threw for 388 yards in a losing cause there [Music] cappelletti in motion play Muncie at muttsy surges up to the 43 yard line a gain of about six every second and for John Dutton is in there defensively for the Cowboys big number 78 you remember came from Baltimore a year ago for first and second round draft picks there he is interesting the way they using Dutton now he's sharing time about half and half with Larry Cole he's now catching on to this Cowboys system took him a while three times three time for polar with all of our management problems they could assign him to the sign just before the trading deadline [Music] that is down Jefferson would have taken if our first boy he was negative for at least brennick certainly couldn't maximum speed and 17 had a few steps home british you'll see it's thrilling number 53 bounce Custer who knocked the bow down was it white I mean a do tall - tall look at to toe flap is and there you saw right there at the bottle that's Jefferson running in front of Bruning he could knock it down when he comes out to be introduced if the only good here in boxing really got it in good shape great shake he's in maybe that's why I did it third and four Fouts drives have slide it in between two defenders to John Floyd incomplete and the crowd likes it to turn it over Appling answer is again Jones was in front of it and fast threw that ball a little bit high he didn't hit it that's right but he got his attention to play before us to change in trajectory there's no question about it he's seven feet and a half inches tall suddenly when he leaps up six foot 32 Creek Partridge will punt for San Diego James Downes Rick Partridge was a high school all-american quarterback out in Tustin California sure drops it funny the Downs has it at the 17 does a pirouette and goes down at the 15 Booker Russell was hustling down there for San Diego yeah that was his dance partner Booker Russell those apparent ladies as you go this way one in a one-two-three take a look at it it really is funny down the way he drops it hey let's see the answer at the end almost aside we're just about well I'll be doggone he sure does he get his foot bill did this George there was a friend King he's fourth in the AFC so he can't fault the distance and Landis hang time at Frank at the economic detail that's because he once tried to kick glad you subscribe first and ten Cowboys at 2:17 they leave 73 white making the plane comes back and delivers a pair to the rookie Timmy Newsom oh that's beautiful Jimmy this son a sixth round draft pick out of winston-salem State another one of your girlfriends absolutely that play has been the playbook since day one 1960 and it is and a lot of other teams course run it too but it's a fake to the inside little boot the guy you you got your fake - he goes on out comes back the other guy on the inside core back rolls out I'll spread it's a hard pattern to cover that linebackers gonna think very quickly he's gonna get caught up in the middle timmy is 6 1 227 pounds of rookie from winston-salem he led that central Intercollegiate Athletic Association is scoring and rushing for the last three years he gets the first down out of the 33 yard line Debbie Newsome this is Ron Springs strings cuts in behind the block of Herbert's Scott animals before it'll be second down to six taken there by Pete Shaw the strong safety for San Diego well he didn't really amble Frank he forced that four and that's the kind of runner he is at that brief hole busted in Ward in on the tank was but amble sounds nice amble well yes put an R in front of it it sounds even better I'll try and correct it let you guys do crossword puzzles Cowboys may not get this play off before time expires here in the first quarter they do top of the left side close to the 41 yard line before he is pushed back and it'll be third down into the quarter has expired in the Cowboys leaders seven to three when we come back Cowboys will have a third hand to the ball the Dallas Cowboys have a 7-3 lead over the San Diego Chargers the Cowboys trying to say within one game of the Philadelphia Eagles in the Eastern Division for the NFC San Diego trying to stay one game atop the charging Oakland Raiders in the Western Division of the AFC the Raiders now with the second he wins they defeated Seattle today maybe Pittsburgh a week ago they beat San Diego the week before that third down a long yard for the Cowboys after 41 yard line this is Timmy Newsome and Muhsin close to the first down after the 43 yard line ray Preston will be at the bottom of that pile along with Charlie Dee's her name if it loves the cowboy Hall of Fame Chuck howling there you go number 17 judgment Hazel's baby Bob and Tom purple Orton Texas for he was tough was named on oh yeah all those all those guys are tough guys out there I gotta tell you know yeah Bob was one of those really essentially gifted at his Chuck Ali is the dealer Perkins Chuck Kelly was in VP Anna Luz seven feet and said there are the stats for the first quarter pretty even San Diego with an edge in possession time but Landry said we must avoid mistakes and he forced a San Diego mistake the intercept on foul Spice Steve Wilson the key point from the first quarter Mike fuller sporting almost an 11 yard return average thus far in the season is awaiting Danny White's plan he's going to pick up the first round easily [Applause] anyone the 40 to the 30 I swear I swear to you I started to say nobody will ever ask me to coach right if it essentially you got to have a running play he only got a foot to go where he did a moot point formation look at another teammate they don't always want to accept bruenig he looked back season Danny did that once last year did backfired on him he's done it several times also we'll throw from that position you love to see it happen does is another big turning point fatalis go for it catching his breath he's expected to see a handoff he does not call the plays right it's getting pumped up again they'll say they'll send in a running play first antenna for 39 yard line of the charges pranks into trouble in the form of woody low falls forward for about a yard a yard and a half it'll be sucking down to nine Raja must be enjoying this stall back and his wife adjust to boots down and he's here on a busman's holiday we're not on one will be chartering to New York tonight immediately after this game we'll be there for the Miami Dolphins of the New York Jets and the Dolphins give a new life in that Eastern Division of the AFC England getting knocked off today we're on spring single setback second down nine [Music] drops a football good gets in there takes it Pat Donovan [Applause] was really being alert yeah well Burt Young was all over Danny white pulled the ball out and Pat Donovan saved it to the Cowboys watch again I think this is when Danny might have liked have been left-handed he got back up and stopped step back up water run there for a moment saw receiver too late there's young young is used on obvious pass plays the man has become a superb pass which really alert play by Donovan there that's really be a heads up off boss of three it'll be third down and ball at the 41 yard line of the Chargers now Assam top seven to three wait out of the shotgun why picked up by Tom Rocklin I don't believe what go either I never saw so many breaks yes there earlier Charlie jeez your name was all over Danny white knocked the ball loose once again and Tom Rafferty came up with it this is something you really can't have happened you know but do you feel the freshman you do one of two things either throw the ball or tuck it today is the one that hits it but you would think and what a perfect pound yeah Robert he says it's my time Donovan offensive line they love the you know cap it's about anyway they never get any nobody talks about us they've gone the Irish connection plus one day those guys fourth down and six outcomes empty on remember tawny waters holes who likes to play games back there too 52-yard attempt [Applause] this about the extent of set Deion's distance at that time he was well short and the Chargers will good field position the ball will come out through the 35 yard line a lot of offense here tonight two offensive minded football teams will be back in a moment [Music] in other words the charges Duke brother well in the second quarter squirt period most of their opponents takes in the wild warm his armor got a quarter now let's get this thing going here guys first and ten Lana scrimmage after the missed field goal 30 here comes mudsy at Muncie average is way close to the 40 yard line for a gain of five for the second of five DeeDee Lewis Whitlow against the 230 pound Munson I don't blame EBT only goes about 215 pounds I find the pattern of play of San Diego the game plan for this game very interesting it's almost rule of thumb that you don't run against the Flex defense on first down run first down and they're doing it again and again the ball just inside the 40-yard line in motion quickly over the middle Jefferson has the first down flag is down and Jefferson is up to the 47 yard line that was a slingshot terrific reaction from bounce yeah this right there that's called having that gun fired and cocked all the time they let it go quickly though there's a fella didn't like this again against the Chargers damn keep in mind tonight Dan body was filling in for an injured Russ Washington the great all-pro right tackle with the San Diego Chargers and onyx job to handle at Jones here's the call holding number 67 offense still second down it white the right guard moly San Diego the ball goes back to the 30 yard line down remains the same second down 15 that you wouldn't expect from a veteran like to the error again [Applause] [Music] at the 46-yard line is Charlie Joyner Charlie waters was right there with me but these outside receivers are really something for San Diego they run great patterns and different patterns do remember now join it kept getting up and coming back they took him off the field on our final game of the last season against Denver and San Diego they had him in the locker room he came back on jefferson is out of that game on a 32-yard touchdown pass the AFC Charlie joy first and ten flag is down cappelletti pulls his way inside the 45 yard line for a pickup of nine but again a flag is down again first down run right up the middle penalties against San Diego of Gila illegal motion that negates a nine-yard pick up the flipping on the law by Muncie when he got down to the six yard line and Dennis Thurmond separated him that was a key hey Alan and illegal motion number 67 offense still first down well captain strike even you were called in your time not from a guard position first down 15 [Music] found it out of the hands of joiner right into the Jefferson [Applause] [Music] join us smash is lying on the surface of the Texas Stadium the ball bounced right into the hands of Jefferson the jointer was really hit he saw that first man there was found he is well the kind of guy I like Danny pouts and he knows this guy's hurt he really did take a look Joyner I believe is saying I'm alright but he was hit so hard I don't bloody buff until they check everything out an extraordinary play though look at it again down but can't you know we're talking these these two outside receives with jointer cutting across the middle the Lewis is holding in Muncie on the inside he was just sprung up that's Wilson coming in from the outside and what a lick again had to be in the right place at the right time John Jefferson hometown boy here you talk about Jefferson earlier these thousands of West for his third thousand year tourney all right too for us a tough cookie 12 years he's been doing that let's take a look at it again and the concentration of wide receiver has to have he didn't take his eyes off that ball for a second he gets powdered right there by Wilson but you better believe after all the years a joiner has played he knew he was going to get pong and silly tried to come up with the football the ball bounced off the Wilson's shoulder better look like 58-yard touchdown here's burnished Kippur the conversion as the Chargers movement lead [Music] diego goes back on top they lead 10 to 7 and there's charlie Joyner another tremendous year after his best year ever a year I'm gonna go we had a shot of Jefferson and went 58 yards for the touchdown here is the man who took the shot from Steve Wilson the ball deflected into the arms of Jeff for seven the charges were on top ten to seven finish gonna kick off deep is James Downes Dixon high and hangs forever 25 26 yard line and a flag goes down have a clip [Music] luminarie indication and it will be a clip and it'll work against the Dallas Cowboys golly China and apparently blow to the chin little butterfly being applied there he must have a little cut personal foul clipping receiving team half the distance to the goal line they didn't need that penalty right there well we've got 10 minutes 12 seconds left in the second form in again out again game something like what we expected and I'm sure a lot more scoring to come de Sala Deanna tied in for the Cowboys with Billy Joe Dupree the double tight end attack actually J salty is caught Billy Joe Dupree on the end of tonight's game first and ten the Dallas Cowboys have the ball [Music] reverse Billy Joe out of the 15 of the 16 Flags it down everywhere yeah that was a John Fitzgerald came out I think you can see that one stuffing again against the Cowboys consecutive flippin calls we got a guy down that's not culture I think it's Wilbur Young I hate to speculate but I saw him for a moment there and then numbers big number 99 they're treated we mentioned I think you the table show ultras got its counting off of the baton II know I see the way down there 74 he is so huge he's frightening him here there's some words of wisdom over there real Hills talking to the coach he says Hannah put that ball in the air don't you think coach personal foul Clippy number 62 offense still first off you're right it was Fitzgerald over Jung is on his tape what were young goes about 290 six six zone locomotion and the ball now has been moved back to the six yard line down remains the same first and 15 san diego's developing a minor look of Hank Stram past Muncie won't be young build off into the 70s that's right it lasted one year 1970 tell you did not have to see ahead of his time first and 15 Ron Springs has the right side doing cuts or calls all over [Music] boss of the yard another SME boy right there what up one of the ponies they're celebrating down here in SMU land they knocked off Texas yesterday glad you brought that up producer Bobby Goodrich all aglow this morning at our production meeting first time they beat the Longhorns since 1966 and goodrich of course was the star of that game second down 16 the ball at the 5-yard line here's something Hill the wide receivers both split to the left a new house new house first of the eight yard line we'll be third down and 13 Louis culture again on the stop as we looked at Wilbur young being treated on the sidelines yeah she just hate to see those knees were the ones and those things guess what big Washington Rush Washington head tell me his words yeah just almost deform the whole kneecap move totally over to one side but the surgery successful they anticipate he'll play again moving inside nine minutes remaining in the first half sergeant's later the Cowboys ten to seven [Applause] Jenny white slides into the shotgun by the courts and it comes the easy way takes it in this thing he was the only one open I guess I was there a great one from the Crimson Tide eval let's see no pressure coming in from the outside Leroy right there I don't try to get the ball out why take that risk like the chargers this kind of lead targets extend their lead put a little quiet on the stadium there he is woody though fifth round draft pick in 76 came up the same here is counterparty the other side ray Preston came up hackers Preston already low alert Goodwin's vanechka and so near to death a year ago and bones disease grills it through the uprights 17 to 7 the charges over the Cowboys strange game lot of points we hope they're enjoying a Sunday night ABC NFL special we'll be back in a moment woody low made the turnover got into the endzone from 16 yards out on the interception finish to the kickoff for San Diego Jones is deep for the Cowboys Vanessa really hammers Lisbon Jones to the 24-yard it's all of a sudden down 17 to 7 will have position fenichka we told you about his problems of a year ago he had surgery just about this time a year ago got down from 175 to about 120 pounds he doesn't get interested in what happens and we really can't blame you that's the protection against the aftermath of the surgery so you can see the hats and things he's wearing to protect that but you don't can't ever really be too safe here more body but his struggle to return to this game but after first intent Alice Springs last time property around the corner the spraying use out most of the 29 yard line a gain of about four it will be second down at six feet Shaw defensively for the charges up there on the 44 and Loic Elgin Louie Kilcher is all over that field they miss Tony Dorsett - no question about it we've raved about Springs but he's been moved into Tony's spot Robert Newhouse been moved back to the full-back spot and you just can't miss can't help but miss his feedback during the flak jacket they did not practice oh he's not playing tonight was the new house on second down six new house up to the 33 yard line a gain of about three it'll be third down and a long to rape rested defensively therefore the charges one of the things Landry does by calling the plays he certainly can't control the emotional aspect you think if he's thrown a pass to get down Tennessee could be for a quarterback card I've got to get these points back in a hurry and this is his game plan he's been working on it he's going to run it until they prove the game plan wrong good I just wonder about the fast play the intercept by love he call it he just didn't throw it any light did not like the play as it was designed on third down and two uses one of his timeouts he'll have two remaining he just had some choice words for on Sprague's there do those anyway blue over visit with Tom Landry who is in conference with Danny Reeves up in the press box wellö is a tragedy in sports today like jiggle in DES former heavyweight champion of the war an auto race in DeMayo Argentina he and his co-driver abandoned that car and were killed when struck by another car in the pit Viktor of course became champion in December 74 lost the title of mike brosman in new orleans September 15 1978 won it back from Rossman and then lost it for the last time November 30th 1970 he has a great fighter decent man terrible trench interesting call down on the field delay of game third down six in here comes question person Pizza kristan person gets up close to the first down at the 35 yard line this kit joins a hidden pretty good too for a fifth round draft choice pretty good Nick he's the guy who displaced Mike fuller and Alice gets the first time posted here so first in person named for the Pittsburgh Steelers a few years ago I was a free agent and he has really contributed to Dallas over these past few years actually came in 75 in five years here with the Cowboys he's been on the receiving end of 175 passes he has a beard they couldn't go along whisper is a good place go get first and ten [Music] and this is Jimmy loosen this gets the first down steps out of bound the pockets it's 43 remaining of that [Music] little extra time to throw that's what he had that time that was rather slow developing play Newsome came out of the backfield across the field going back a moment John we're told by the NFL 30-second clock had run before the timeout was called that's why we had the delay of game penalty I don't know that eyewitness said it was interesting - 48 yard line there's a crowd gathered around reading the screen dutifully if sliding out there defensively was great Preston number 52 for the Chargers hello he mentioned earlier those two guys did come in together great friends roommates and they do play the linebacker position really well that one was read all the way no place to go Billy Joe this is the kind that even hate to see him trying to catch because that tip up there's going to be another defensive back there pretty close get big at all good government Preston mentioned ago we came up that same year with woody low scored a few moments ago for the charges only Preston came up as an 11th round draft day one of the lads feels syrup 48 yard line second down to ten [Music] in consider by Dean being mrs. my fits a first down [Music] [Applause] risking life and limb hurtles to the 44 the first looked like they were going to get him about three times he just kept his one little half step ahead of them now they mark it inside the 40 tube that's still yardage enough for the first town it's critical for Dallas to get a score before the end of the half so quickly things turned against them do touchdowns and rapid fire auto [Music] up to the right guns Tony Hill is beautiful I'm straight other little prop about there tonight [Music] new person is pounded and now they say empathy Williams your person you don't see Tom not angry that often so I went on it's a pretty good he comes so this is a partisan do you think Tom pullin for the Cowboys I think yes let's see watch him get hit what's the boy all did come out all right every time every story so I can intent while Bhangra folks down here right now [Music] this attracts a crowd at the 33-yard line short of the first town I'll tell you that was a dangerous backseat show almost that that one of the hollows did yet another seven-point but Danny I must say moved up beautifully when it appeared that he was going to be sacked good if it's secondary covers linebackers got a good process a leg for the pass that's the good news you're talking about but look at Chartres there were 44 almost one giant step away it's not much known at bay around the league but San Diego is second in their conference in passed defense good passwords from Fred Dean third down and two [Music] four-fifty in the clock is moving let's go boys they tall another time out and Danny will move over the sidelines there down the one time out pika quit me if I might trying to explain it the Cowboys are shuffling running backs in and out they have a very complex offensive system if they don't get the right combination in there to run the play that is sent in but down he's just not gonna try and run them that bless fraud Springs is really playing a new position he's been playing fullback most all year with Dorsett in there it's all true but they can't afford it what they're doing is self-defeating you're right it is a mistake I think well Frank's talk about is that sometime you know there's sometimes better reasons for mistakes than others but they may have a better reason tonight than ordinarily there's old Chuck Chuck Muncie he's got it - I'll say he's happy he left the team that's now on 8th for a team that has a reasonable chance to get to the Super Bowl in fact a very good chance Andrea again on the phones and he reads at a press box might be Russ Danny Reeves was the guy Frankish we know was started out the season and he was going to call the plays and Tom was just going to work on defense and talking to Danny increases he says yeah it might last through the preseason and it did it lasted just through the preseason that time call them again what Danny was complaining about he said you send the play in but you don't have the right personnel in here to run the play you know what else it happens sometimes - they have so many formations a lot of times he'll ascend plays then and he'll he'll give the run of the formation and then White's his way then we don't run that play from this formation it does get confused now we've got it all sorted out yes sir Cowboys now with one timeout throw it down into it once again in the ball the Chargers and the Cowboys the down 17 to 7 they need something here in the first half so each other crazy and though Joe has the first down at the 17 yard line [Music] he wasn't fly back er locked him coming out then the drag man comes across as the tide in the sea this I'm trying to get out he can't get open he's covered so he looks back into that tied in coming across the middle and there's Billy Joe had two steps on what helo was lo finally made the tackle the Dallas is doing what they have to do that down to four minutes ten seconds left in the half they must get some points on the board first and ten the 17-yard line until Springs we're in the wrong place again breaks news from one taco brother Timmy Newsom the ball-carrier they are having trouble getting lined up in the right place the Gandiva though that's intended use it was a rookie and has not played much at all this year so there's confusion back there his name's sake Ozzie Newsome was brilliant today he made the catch from sight that beat the Steelers 27:26 brand site we played for Don Coryell he likes to put the ball in here will be a fair week from this money I look the Bears second and ten anyway fires deep in the enzyme Billy Joe Dupree is manhole Ivana would have been six I fell he had an excuse he had trouble keeping his balance he temporarily lost vision on the ball and that's why he dropped let's say I think the Charger's are saying that Billy Joe interfered with them down in the end nobody was open you see those big guys come at you you gonna throw it down there deep the let's see what we could find it Billy Joe does have good hands he's got enough there you'd certainly expect him to catch that one should have called for a fare cut down how difficult it was he was backwoods his ball was only two third and ten out of the shotgun [Applause] the end zone first Johnson takes that touchdown Dallas right tell you courts judge if they gotta find more playing time for that good move by Danny white there again see little pressure cover the outside three wide wide reciever offense moves up and at the last moment zip he almost went over the line of scrimmage I think Sall Johnson late opened up in the endzone touchdown they did need that touchdown to get back in the ball game and they're back in at Raphael septa yeah puts it through the uprights this is where blowing flags were flying before the snap number 78 offense all start of the Dallas Cowboys number 78 of course as butts Jun's going boy you mention Howard he was ready really to challenge for a starting job a year ago the 79 season and he broke the little finger on his hand he missed five games he had a duck to amend his preseason in 79 and he had a good shot to get in there and then of course see this five and new Pearson and Tony Hill came along both of them thousand yard seasons how can you replace them except T on following the penalty bears down gets it through the uprights and the now trail by three points they have 257 remaining here in the first half we'll be back at a book 17 yards but Danny White made it look easy in trouble bounced out of the pocket pound Butch Johnson the Cowboys are down by three happy L cept the on to kickoff Chuck Muncie deep this will be a short kick five yards and we'll do it all over again [Music] Satya kicked his kicking tee about seven yards so I'd say me it get a little bit too beep to get them out of bounds a no charge you touched it so they'll mark about five yards and septa on will kick at the 30 yard well this is game in terms of time consumed than the number of penalties involved thus far has something to do with that number of times the ball has been put in the air also has something to do with it and Dallas not being able to line up right on third and short a couple times has something else to do it they've just used a couple timeouts what we got all the answers tonight Tech Muncie he did not return kickoff for New Orleans a year ago well he was supposed to but he kept missing those meet [Music] there's one way to get to San Diego that's it Sep Dion we'll hit it again from the 30-yard line we're watching from the in tow let's see Alexa number 15 mutzie has collected at the 36 yard line James don't I didn't like the way was old in that football he carries it that way and he's not a farmer either like a Jim Brown marries her that one big happy just whatever generates the dead he did it right I reckon proves that all right getting close to that two-minute bake pretty close ratio between passing and rushing plays for the charges but even more interesting the charges have had only three offensive plays this entire quarter Charlie Turner by the way is back in the ball game wide receiver now motion bad Mike Thomas [Music] close to a first down out near the 47 yard line hit by Aaron Mitchell and that's an understatement when you speak of Mitchell they write quarterback number 34 for the Cowboys he will lay it on you Frank that's extraordinary that before that play they had the ball for only three plays the whole quarter in Dallas had it for a lot of place didn't they they sure did san diego's had the ball for only a minute 45 seconds at this quarter with 214 to plays an interception and a deflection 1714 [Applause] Kellen Winslow hammers his way down to the push to the 32 yard line the big second-year man from Missouri as time expires and we get the two-minute warning both teams regroup and we'll be back in Texas Stadium here in Irving Texas right after this message from the National Football League that has been brought to you by Randy Hughes former all-pro safety for the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League and what a night Jefferson is having the leading receiver in the AFC coming into tonight's game as a matter of fact the Chargers have three in the top five three in the top four if you will Kellen Winslow is in second place before tonight Charlie Turner was in fourth place first and ten the 33-yard line just off the fingertips like Thomas yet that ball been perfectly thrown I was sick but get it boy get it yeah this teeth can kill you with the quickness of a strike a couple of minutes ago before the two-minute warning San Diego is going to be marked off against referee dick Jorgensen discussing mentally with the Cowboys now they'll move them out of holding number 67 offense still first down at White having a big back to the charges in right guard that's three we can remember being called on him all the way back to the remains the same first time 1:56 we're getting in the first half now boys coming with the West tries to go to tempest of an era [Music] at last penalty was a fella probably took them out of field goal range unless Fouts can call a miracle here on third down what I was going to say Frank is just before the two-minute warning the fan saw Kellen Winslow on a beautifully sophisticated patent crash ahead and one thought instant latest gets cut in the mold of Gasper Francis and Billy Joe he was off in a spectacular year as a rookie a year ago when he back to bone in his leg in the seventh game and mr. remain no decision second and 20 [Music] [Applause] if that first town in ten yard line oh that's that's a pretty fast I used the phrase a beautifully sophisticated pattern when you explain first look at it again done and then explain what I mean it's a beautifully sophisticated fighter in this he's got Joyner coming out going right down the middle he's cleared the middle out with the other receiver sitting them to the outside nested all that room to run in there almost impossible to cover a guy like that but the ball was thrown right on the money he was covered pretty well and kudos to Billy shields number 66 left tackle for the charges he's doing quite a job on Harvey Martin Harvey Martin getting up there but chills drops back and then takes Harvey Martin with his own momentum to the outside fout steps up and he has time to deliver the ball gee when you've got that ability for the quick strike this asset Don Coryell now in his third year took over in 78 after four games and a remainder of 78 went eight and for that I'll tell you when he was a collegiate coach he believed in the same things he believes in now three years of Whittier in twelve years of San Diego State 127 games lost 24 well I like what Jean Klein the principal owner of the judges say the other day said let's face it I was a fool I never should have let him go to saint-lo boys crazy of st. Louis whoo seventy-five first down goal to go Jefferson to Mosul Winslow's touchdown and the Chargers they are Kellen Winslow we are talking to a moment ago six-six 250 pounds and he has remarkable quickness oh that was really a pretty Drive there hello fast I thought he was going to come back to Jefferson because Jefferson had the secondary screwed up he was going all the way into the Winslow Charlie waters got there a little bit too late Winslow gave him his tight end position was wide open here to have five guys in the pattern somebody's gonna be open he's gotta have this little time to throw but there's got girls there when the Cowboys go out on top 24 to 14 and don't go to the French at 137 the half and the cowboy is gonna get the football it set the Cowboys on top target is on top 24 14 it happens from maybe you went to the fridge in Winslow a second-year man out of Missouri it looks so easy oh what a play there are the standings a reminder again the NFC East Dallas needing this game to remain but one back of the high-flying Philadelphia Eagles Nick famille and they're the standings at the AFC West Oakland suddenly charging up threatening San Diego needs this game Jermaine Maine a game ahead of the Raiders burn irska what is he in those intervals hi Jones 32 seconds into tire sealant operate that's Kellen Winslow the young and what a play 23 years old are two years in a row in the National Football League they have drafted tight ends number one from the big eight there's another beauty this year a kid with the Falcon to upset the Rams today his name junior Milla he went to Nebraska anyway and out of the shotgun they were not charged with the timeout penalized here in the second quarter so the Cowboys have two timeouts that was made that a cowboy had drawn the charges off and that is the call procedure so it'll be first in 15 ball mark Davos 568 offence still first off herb Scott left guard Cowboys all-star Conference pride is at stake in this game - after this afternoon's activity the AFC leads the NFC 17 victories - six Dallas their series that they have see teams overwhelming victors Preston Pearson behind the screen to the outside after picked up the first down he gets out around the 41 yard line up in the Bible [Music] seconds ticking away as dallas mister offense they marked it inside the 41 so it'll be second in short now as we approach the one minute mark and complete it was intended for Drew Pearson he was hit by Willie Buchanan could not hold on it'll be third down and short yardage back at the 41 interesting case history Buchanan in this late remember number one draft choice for Green Bay scintillated for a couple years then they figured he was washed up moved around winds up with San Diego in fact had a bad year last year but this year seems to be playing in the agreed ins of the coaches very well it is unusual how a guy can go but that's not such a key position though you're after all alone and you can have those really good years and then all of a sudden can go sour on ya they come back most of the art white don't at midfield 56 seconds on the scoreboard quat Cowboys with two timeouts best defensive back I ever saw was raised by Stevo was Frank different he could cover I'm good knee did you cover football then I used to live at Yankee Stadium I was at the Polo Grounds I was there remember the mutt game in 55 against the Chicago Cardinals with know that Chicago Cardinals this area remember it within you a detail yeah first intent got one midfield [Music] Fred teen male took the fall away from Danny white it gets it back we would have had another one of those San Diego text and I thought he had it how did I think Dean did - he started running like hell no - yeah boy 3 up offenses seconds ticking off 45 seconds to clock is moving take a quick look on the replay the bean wild live action on the field [Music] [Applause] where the charger hazard San Diego comes up in it they got time for another field goal you know bottle the football time together the 41 yard line with Val two notes and that the dead staff this is getting like last Monday Night Raw comes up with the football for San Diego they sure been bubbling fumble around out here this first half yeah they joke catches this one ray Preston Princess Pea Preston Pearson misses George's wait till it pops out he gets the ball for San Diego they're inside the 41 yard 27 seconds remaining in that timeout that's what you can do with this big man you can split him out wide he becomes like a wide receiver even as big as he is now they've charged her first down which is almost academic with 21 seconds remaining in that and the gamblers gonna be in a lot of trouble if there's another us down here 24:14 is gonna be tested them to come back but you put a 31 up there he gets the problem one time out now for Dan Fouts conferring there with Don Coryell tops his touchdown pass to Winslow a few moments ago was his 100th career touchdown pass and he is only in his eighth year nice remark but what a great joining of philosophy spouts who loves to throw the fall and Coryell who likes to watch him yeah I think it's that's very well but it is hi I'm Steve quarterback yet II didn't love the throw I think he just happened bump into Coryell who happen to agree with it most coaches say no you run you got us run to set up that path [Music] one timeout remaining for San Diego Jefferson left he hangs it up it'll be a battle court easy one as Jefferson ran right by Steve Wilson he was back there trying to cover him cops misdirected incomplete that's true it was misdirected hadn't been properly direct it was an easy touchdown he had a lot of folks look at him right eyeball to eyeball wearing white jerseys that time he got some pressure just pull it up but Jefferson put some boots on Mitchell back there he left him pretty well thought out burner skis ready second down 10 16 seconds on the clock Jefferson left [Applause] as San Diego looking for you the completion her past in appearance ten seconds left third and ten listen I saw team at third and 48 today and with less than two minutes left they not only made the 48 they made a touchdown that made guess who that was is it a team down south it sure it wasn't New Orleans wasn't no don't get any clues red jerseys yes the Falcon Oh God I saw that that was forty-eight bud Gatsby hits Alfred Jax ten seconds on the clock once he gets the call right side looking for field goal position in San Diego founded they can stop it with the one remaining timeout which they do with three seconds so we'll see Ralph Anushka I'm not sure I understand I don't either the matter like he's throwing the ball well he wanted to go but he'll go I assume Ralph Anushka with Mike fuller holding Mike fuller has been known to play some tricks as a holder by the way you mentioned that game Bartkowski to Alfred Jackson winning touchdown last minute of the game over the Rams will be showing his over the highlights from today's action interesting piece we're sending this bad well the nurse who is a 10 [Applause] he's already hit 45 tonight this time is off to the right time has expired here in the first half strange game Rogers over the Cowboys 24 to 14 will be ready for a halftime features after this message and a word from our local station starting last year ticked for consecutive field goals against Oakland and then of course he saw the rest of the story a very compelling story and so often since humanity rec wrapped up in the poke of an athletic uniform so in the case of Ralph Ernesto set to go now the nursery will kick-off Jones's deep for the Dallas Cowboys and again but arska with that it takes a lot of time it gets it here comes down and towns Bob is the ball as he has taken it for 44 they're going to blow it down at the 44 feet Shaw defensively their attack Jones Bob came who's that they say he was down at the 44 yard line and again will anticipate many changes on the offensive back view of the Dallas Cowboys Ron Springs of a 20 in Robert new now salute 44 come in as setbacks we'll also see a lot of Timmy Newsome a rookie from winston-salem number 30 and James Jones anyway a team of 20 thus far Navy interception return for a touchdown real person in motion Braun Springs Springs out of bounds 45 yard line first down Dallas at the 45 the San Diego well like kid Jimmy Jones the rookie from Mississippi State with that kickoff return did exactly what Dallas ate it immediately to get him back in the contest brilliant run back superb field position and now incidentally Dallas in San Diego territory this game will have its ups and downs till the final whistle Duprey the tight end comes out in comes books Johnson number 86 so we basically have the three wide receiver offense for Dallas Johnson Hill and Pearson the receivers we're person in Ocean it's the screen good play this brings us Laura's a bowl to the 33-yard line Mike fuller made the stop really a terrific play has a one-man screen setup to the outside his seat got big herb Scott that comes out there a lot of razzle-dazzle going on and Bush Johnson in motion growing back to the outside here spring so that's a good block by herb Scott little quick screen that great percentage of completion trying to get something going on walk of course you got this kind of Biffle isn't moving don't try to go too deep too early best short at the 33-yard line first and 10 Billy Joe Dupree comes back in we're tied in the Brady night Springs again he gets to the outside good person with a little pick block downfield eight Springs to another Dallas first down 4:55 ray Preston 52 and on this top Hill Ron Springs whom I mentioned did not have that kind of year as a senior at Ohio State that Hill Brent the personnel man to the Cowboys keeps track of them all and he laughs Springs when he was the junior college player of the year at Coffeyville Kansas in one year he gained 18 hundred yards and scored 25 touchdowns there before he went on to Ohio State it's amazing three plays three first downs that's does something good and after real salvia is the tide here down over 87 [Music] look at that clothing pocket widget back to Sally the screen in front of tell me to the ten-yard line another first down this is a remarkable drive Sall they another underused one well when you claim if you've got to pray and you're not using a study to tight end up look at that Irish connection all move out with Danny white set up the screen back across to Sally we've seen really three unusual plays with Dallas leave it ride them out sort of Rhuddlan they said we got open this thing up maybe we can beat them at their own game we gotta throw this ball open it up Sal these closest friend on the team is the other run two used one puts just any white has now used eight different receivers on the first down most of the 10-yard line that was plan ambles to the two yard line that ball just dribbled into his hands any white truck will never see a single game with more plays that are unique the referee did it earlier and Donovan and that Muhammad on of [Music] what a great offensive coach you know it's Olivia the right lane to the right time is Batman behind OJ's waivable you had to play from join it and Jefferson was all slow motion for shouting that's right second down up into the springs the one they scored on that play earlier this time San Diego says I remember that you guys did that to be the last time you were down here blue tight ends are in as we move to third down the ball at the one I can't believe that solidly play that's unreal tiny I don't believe this whole he at least not within my memory so many unique place if you weren't with us in the first half San Diego scored on a passage bounded off joiners shoulder pads into the arms he went 58 yards four touchdowns been that kind of [Applause] 24:14 third down or the one to go this is this and this cement of the end zone and Dallas floors right back [Applause] Aminu sir sixth round draft pick out of winston-salem he's having himself a night his first NFL career carried the ball 2 times on the season or six yards but he's been active tonight we've said this was about as good a matchup as you can get my leg and that's the way it's brew Rafael Sofia will attempt to bring the Cowboys to within three points he does so with Alice is this for a little more than four minutes as they move taking the opening kickoff here in the second half to bring it to it and three an interesting trip that particular dr.jones fumbled the kickoff they rule he was down the ball bounces into Sally's hands unusual screenplays that they this time he puts a big foot into it when she takes it inside the end zone he'll bring it out mutzie is real 22 yard line man you talk about clotheslining at whoo unless you didn't return kick done he says what was that the license number that one yeah that guy forgot to get his name through a runner though for a big man as your basic fundamental football position and San Diego 22 yard line capacity crowd adding to their defense goes to Mike Thomas said Mike Thomas he just activated last week that's up to the 27 yard line the gain of about five over the second of five Mike Thomas a trapeze surgery following a racquetball injury last May Brannigan Frank on first down late at work picked up five yards rapidly moving third quarter almost five minutes over a second motion as cappelletti in thoughts to the air Joyner and he cannot get to the football Steve Wilson on the cliffs when she get man to man coverage in the Cowboys were bringing everyone he really had beat them in if the past had been right there the Masters of the quick strike the San Diego Chargers could have had another that's why you use that lift situation because it does cut down considerably on that quarterbacks time to throw now sometimes it boomerangs and guilts sometimes comes off of us [Applause] the Chargers [Music] pouts Charlie waters had the ball in his [Applause] I had six that I could no but the important thing is the San Diego [Music] time to go through the follicle a little bit behind I think it round up the waters hands he didn't expect it good no though I said let's leave a scar left off a little bit the do people you see him get hit arteries to punt Jones is deep for Dallas to the fair catch and gets back from the 35-yard line goes to the 40-yard line and a scuffle breaks out of midfield first guy tried to throw a left Polly waters came so close to getting six of interception we have time out of the deal the Cowboys have good field position at their own port 949 remaining here in the third quarter San Diego unable to move the ball in their first possession at the punt away Dallas has field position after own 40 they took the ball in their first possession here in the second half Tony Dorsett did not play tonight braised ribs his new house hit with the line of scrimmage we suckin down the tent defensively they're for San Diego he's just so huge it's unbelievable right now Landry's words to Don come into play excuse me we can't make mistakes momentum going Dallas's wait for my appointment renters three defense of the charges don't switch three games his feet Adame go the loss all the way back to the 38 years lost his footing for just a moment and with the speed of fret Dean we cannot afford that for even a fraction of a second it'll be third down and 11 they dropped that razzle-dazzle series at the open the second half with and going back up the middle and off tackle denied look for that razzle-dazzle come back again a little bit Weston Pearson comes in number 26 good receiver wide receivers here's a it's over three the tide in out of the shotgun mr. Pearson comes back then looking for quits look at Dean rales Danny white just isn't releasing the football doing a good job that's old dolphin who's ordinarily there certainly one of their top offensive lineman and he just beats into the outside you see Thomas brought a setup push it the that strength momentum came around and this is the one that really hurts that hell much bright in your back you never see it coming Dean so quick he's not all that big but he can 40 down Danny white of course stays in only his second punt of the night Mike fuller has dropped for San Diego averaging just under 11 yards per attempt the first seven games of the season Danny white he's right it's the first town [Applause] that was a bad style one that stabbed a bit put pressure on the kicker which I thought they're gonna do by the way they were lining up any white stay is on the turf shakily he gets to his feet flips it over it and he did get the first down we've got a flag is down incredible series of grapes cowboy it was like down to the 34-yard line here's the call 4:47 defense first Duncan must watch again we told he was a good half big Donnie gritty shows it here yeah they did because I think he really thought he shot better quite a kick the ball he looked about it almost two minutes too late five bears the extra effort by Danny Caine here's a late yet is he coming yet strange happenings tonight here in Dallas first down 34 yard line of San Diego Cowboys down 24:21 pony hill in motion Timmy new sir this to the 30-yard line it'll be second down at six this is big rookie from winston-salem State six one of 227 pound I take nothing away from they've got a lot of good young brilliant lake goats team but the bounces the ball is taken for them tonight and that last cost run to a first down just second and six this time again and this from inside the 30 saw that Paul swing up he had it won in I thought he lost another fumble it'll be third down and about four could attack the lab I pressed [Music] cows Cowboys 14 consecutive winning seasons 13 times they've been in the playoffs they've been to five Super Bowls they won in 71 after the season of 71 and after the season of 77 hey by the way did you mention the table letters only goats Preston Pearson is an what's so funny let be the little eager biggest icon side for San Diego Tonio days on his pillow Charlie joined it for the charges in the first half artillery was going to get his shot he took the shot and he has hurt his shoulder I do believe absolutely beautifully thrown ball right in the middle defenders Tony Hill somehow maintained that cosplayer what he and Jefferson linear very simple look at him go up and go up maintain his balance here got a good hit from the other side you see when up malice came out of the locker room at halftime smoking they took the opening kickoff for a touchdown a few tricks of paper and they're threatening once again first and goal [Applause] [Music] Sally brakes close to the three yard line right somehow it's right up well also is a great effort that's an effort if you don't measure by the yard Joe's big six-foot eight defensive end it looked like yes Tony Hill on the sidelines talking strainers another one of those high school quarterback seal it up to Stanford and erased all of team Washington records you saw a moment ago concentration we don't leave the big chance Danny while though extended arms by the officials so it will be third and goal to go it's got to be just right on that go close to him maybe a foot out [Music] other somebody just ran it they still brought it right back [Music] third and goal bought inside the one yard line inside handoff miss em touchdown Dallas has the lead again way back they got the brakes but they've come from a long way back and they made it work Alice now with 14 consecutive points well isn't that exciting old play on the playbook a little quick trap you see that that was Pat Donovan coming from his tackle position made a good block to the inside open up a nice hole they may have found a football player in Newson I like the way he carries the football it does look good it only carried it twice before tonight cept yeah that was her they're trailing 24 to 14th at halftime they leave 2:24 we expected it straight with us for more action see saw panel the Dallas Cowboys trying to stay within one game of Philadelphia in the NFC Eastern Division the San Diego Chargers trying to maintain a one game lead over the Oakland Raiders in the AFC West except Ian Gibson mutzie at his goal line let's see what's up close to the 20 yard madala special team closes it down right there miss Thurman in there quickly for Dallas break this telecast is presented by the authority of the National Football League it's intended for the private use of our audience now any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the expressed written consent of the National Football League is prohibited superbly render thank you as a bruised shoulder the atoll first and ten that's cappelletti in motion quickly fastest among see who won hands up and was not even looking at the floor on the runs into five grinning loss of the play that's reading those keys coming for a middle linebacker position look at 53 breunig looks the guard set for quick block his man's mut see that is another spectacular catch he does have those big hands he was talking about he cares that ball than one hand a lot made a good grab there Bruni good to visit played read his assignments moves out the flat covered up by San Diego faces a crisis right now they haven't shown the ability to defense Dallas alice is all over couple of days after one coming up with I think that's Anthony a difference on the Lukather an SMU right they played Texas yesterday as a free agent it was out of football a year ago let's look again they expect great things from victors on the kitchen big Randy white number 54 you see he's got his hand in there stripping from the ball and Anthony Dickinson playing heads up and he white did that to Jaworski last week yeah he is something out Randy white is is sort of a car in the middle we talked about a quick turn of events what a turn about this is a hundred first and ten Dallas 20-yard line this quarter 17 plays nine first downs in just two possessions and they have come up with 14-foot points there is Jonas Jones to the foot to the 16 yard line hit there by Bob you have three every second seven I'm sorry Frank point I wanted to make is you fans is seeing a whole set of new faces out there and as I noted sustaining the excellence of the Cowboys through all the past years that my friends is organization Jones hit the boy at that hole in a hurry that's right it exploded for good tough run [Music] get down seventh and Jones Heello trying to pull the ball away from Jones he holds on this down to the 12 yard line will be third down and three not only does that kit look good I agree with Frank Newsome looks so strong George Johnny jump in sticks in now for the Cowboys that means another tight end in the form of Jay salty as a matter of fact three of them now when a Joe Dupree solve a Cosby three tight ends five yards we have three seconds and he gets it off and his receiver was knocked off his feet we find Sally always that guy is going to go in would you believe this so I vote one second on the 30-second clock Kirra seizure knocked to the ground for Danny white and flying Sally Sally crossed the field touchdown we've seen everything tonight and look at what Johnson and look against all day as I told you her best friends each complains to the other we're not getting playing time and each proving himself tonight obviously this was not intended to go to J salad good pressure on it here outside my job this looks back in here it's a leader this is a good one Sally fixes Walker's real well ghostly outside the guys responded to that game back made some hoof blocks is he happy septa on his leg getting a workout here in the third quarter bring up their 21st unanswered point by San Diego - OH - 37 remaining that was 35 the charges 24 we'll be back Sally scores from 12 yards out but the 12 yards does not tell the story he must have covered 35 or 40 it was not a plan but wild game really is a log believable turn of events here 59 points the Cowboys have 20 plays already here in the third quarter 10 first downs three touchdowns we were with us last week Pittsburgh Oakland 79 points scored in that would be a 59 up on the scoreboard already to 37 remaining here Seth Dion will kick off for Dallas that machi go live for San Diego it goes this will be Mike fuller the flag goes down as fuller's falls forward to the 22 yard line from the distillation of one of the charges it would appear that is going to go against San Diego [Music] they can't get themselves arrested that time getting on track here in the Sun Hat boy al doesn't believe all this and he remembers the last sequence of towns first will fall wah people over waist on return number 57 on the receiving team first stop of course by the new rules but in a couple of years ago you attempt to special teams time first of ten I'll talk fires and complain about Charlie they can't they just can't get a single break it's incredible look at the man catch the ball this is one of those quick he's got his leg up close there the Mitchells right there and here is that pretty good defensive coverage it's not bad one-handed look at this look at the concentration you know he's been doing dr. claw here's the other part out now 10 against the Giants last week 400 for 71 yards his best day info second down ten to 12 almost picked off Steve Wilson picked off one earlier I coulda had six that was a terrible throw Fouts and the judges judging by this play are now feeling Snakepit well he had some time abroad thus it will have been free I think you know he's got two receivers awfully close together and he threw right the mental level yeah we'll listen he couldn't believe it smoking them directly to it notice this time they didn't waste time with a running play last time Dallas quickly prevent defense down and hangs it up for 10% yes he kisses the ball and goes out of bounds for first out of the 35 yard line and foul sledding they would have been six I didn't know I know how he got that free they ran a square out and then he knew he was covered when he turned it up if Faust read it quickly got him to cut the ball to him he got it right before Randy white hit him and you're right he's he hurt himself on that plate before that's some get yeah was touchdown first down inside the 36 yard line of the Chargers but see the line of scrimmage and the small forward for a gain of about a yard it'll be second down and 9 and again Harvey Martin has not been heard from too much tonight credit Billy shields over 66 the offensive left tackle now this is the charge at all Frank you don't have to panic it got a minute 50 left to the 3rd 20 I got all the fourth quarter you've got the great striking ability in Muncie on a delayed draw like that can pick off 1520 is not a stupid call second down nine and quickly foul stunts it off to Muncie unless he leaves a bomb Dexter Clinkscale the chicken South Carolina State who works on and after their defense gifts the football for Dallas at the 43 yard line still don't like the way he holds the football and this is the second critical fun belize made as a member of the judges the other one was on a kickoff reception against oakland look at aways hole in that ball Mitchell stuck his hand in there knocked the ball away pretty has been a crazy turn of events every ball bounces in funny ways and it's bounced another peculiar way Dallas has great field position John Jefferson whom a few moments ago you saw make a spectacular catch fall forward fell on his left elbow he's being treated on the sidelines we'll try and get further information but he obviously was in some sort of pain receivers are Cantona synovial sac what we all have sometimes you can lecture very easily with that kind of a fall on first and ten inside handoff this gets out over the 45 for a gain of three to be sucking down a seventh fret Dean defensively therefore the charges on that last Muncie fumbled on he seemed to be trying that transfer of the ball from his left hand to his right hand at the very moment Mitchell hit him he had split appear to me to it better just had his hand in the right place not the grease its Jefferson again on the sidelines obviously in pain Cowboys 21 and am supports here in the third quarter second down seven Jones turns it inside runs into a crowd it's about a yard of it will be third down and five Dallas is facing a frustrated angry team right now bruised elbow on Jefferson we're told [Music] and now the special eunuchs and Cowboys have won for just about every situation while they do don't think they truck out three wide receivers what they do is they drop the ball let it bounce it takes a bounce either the Donovan Rafferty or solving then it works it's a new new style often a glaze go over here third and five an important defensive play to the charges settles into the shotgun the Chargers rise to the occasion Brett Dean is there and Leroy Jones sacked all the way back to the 40-yard line it'll be fourth down in Dallas cool after punt good defensive coverage in the secondary didn't have anybody open then he tried to move up moved up tentatively and facing a frustrated angry gene now and final second ticks off the scoreboard dropped and that is the end of the third quarter Dodgers trailing the Cowboys now 35 24 we'll be back with the fourth quarter in a moment Mike fuller has settled in for the Chargers back close to his 15 yard line awaiting the punt of Danny white as we begin action here in the fourth quarter keep in mind the Cowboys the trailing 24 to 14 at halftime they now leave 35 24 Danny white two-putt Danny hits a beauty well deadia didn't they get stand and right along the sidelines it looked like what's going on out about the 5-yard line the last drop that went out at the one and almost looked like it go out there I think they're still trying to decide if in bed I thought it did go out of bounds but now they take it out to the 20 58-yard funny now stringer defensive back he said his man already need the Fife and drums well enough tough day at the office John Jefferson back in the lineup split out to the right going to Winslow where's our coaches [Applause] Thurman has it believe this game they're all the spectacular catch fighting Aaron Mitchell for the football he drafted Denis Thurmond outwrestle Charlie whiner came up with it you talk about frustration it was a brilliant then you see me the kind of deep breath speed Frank referred to earlier in the game and then the fumble San Diego is poised ready with the quick strike again right back in the ball game but Aaron Mitchell calls another fumble and that's been his partner to pick that puffle up and took it back again I can't believe there's Dennis Thurman he replaced a great all-pro for Paris he retired Dallas continued reshuffling that secondary another Starman comes up with the fumble San Diego must be wondering what for next as it boy let get me back close to a Hoya on first and ten Debbie Newsome right side gets up to the 35 yard line gain of 6 it'll be second down at for the significant third quarter stats you'll save from these stats have completely looked at the way that turned Alice's way time the possession the most critically revealing element here Dallas totally dominant in the third quarter 21 unanswered points and after this last play I wonder how many turnovers they're gonna call that that several turnovers their wild offensive show bounce has gone over 300 yards for the fourth time this season his team is down the points second and four don't open and push down a flag goes down also seems to be hurt Jones I think is probably as cramps in his calves and they usually see a ballplayer do that starts his toes up trying to get rid of them that Dean is negated of cause the ball taken way back holding call against the Cowboys let's bet a good move by Jones onna again and quick semi acceleration they haven't seen these guys play that much no one has they have been around very long well as a fella walking the Dallas Cowboys sideline who's the guy responsible for finding these people Alice didn't even have a first round draft choice this year an organization you speaking I know of gilt brass go to a tech SRAM who has been here from the very beginning as has Tom Landry a winning season till the seventh year they have six second and 15 Springs on a one-man stream strains back close to the original line of scrimmage will be third down and 10 oh you gotta like that kid are they impressed with spring rings Jones yeah new house it's not played much this year but those Springs has been that I've been that pullback well right there you're looking at 61 a young man named Cooper out of Temple University's fourth year man and now he grades out as high as any man offensive line third down ten preston pearson in white 210 yards on the night pops 342 a lot of time through Pearson's wide open and he one hops it incomplete the Cowboys will climb that's like the that's like nine Danny white Frank that was like the line drive to Jim Leonard of the houston astros that he trapped not exactly but it was reminiscent of something similar fourth down coming up Danny white settles back for the punt Mike fuller drops for San Diego I meant Jeff Leonard not Jim quick correction wild night here in Dallas [Music] white decides not to rub this one and puts it out at the 33-yard line taken there by Mike fuller here we go again gift 13:27 left and San Diego will have good field position at their own 33 yard line we'll be right back in Dallas in a moment don't go away because if anyone can do it this man can Dan Fouts who has been a little erratic but you cannot question the great passing through the Kellen Winslow a while ago that would have put them right back into this ball game that of course was fumbled first and 10 San Diego has the ball thrown 33 yard-line number one what he did he Louis was picking up Charlie Joyner and thoughts is slow getting up butall was there I thought that ball was deflected I think it was I think Jones came in from his defensive end position vas had a good quick drop looking away but there's Jones Jarvis Jones is like a large condominium crab coming in on the quarterback what the Lord six nine to sixty second and ten jeferson emotional Muncy good good let's see gifts around the corner gets to midfield first down San Diego take him out of bounds by Dennis Thurmond is giving away about sixty pounds when he takes on Muncey intelligent golf that was really set up well he had good it good to inter parents out the front of him and made a good cut the SI had a lot of Running Room out there Denver I'm crazy about you too they don't stop very well I don't either [Music] to the right goes Jefferson let's see in Russia they white hats the officials were thrown because forced out of pounds was Charlie Turner he cannot come back on the field of play and Dan Fouts and said hey they can't do that to my man houses complaining they hit Joyner after he second in ten Ron Smith the r84 Chuck's in the San Diego Chargers he was acquired from the Rams just after the season began [Music] like Thomas also in there have you turned sure past situation aside routes Ron Smith when Dennis Thurmond both went up incomplete I tell you that's what it always whereas Ehrman thinks you got interception and that receiver makes a little bit better effort and catches the boss this could have been another dust down but there was another remarkable growth sitting there waiting for the interception spent almost cut up and picked it off [Music] they're down 10 13:06 remaining in this game miss Thurman 511 170 pounder the position of replacing Paris they all hopefully safety retired propellers Wow Jefferson first down 33 yard line of the Cowboys and the flag goes down there was a late hit Jefferson rent a pretty rat did he Frank coming in here that inside the ball about all the money he makes that cut and he is just parallel with the ground yes good times done they do it so well you wonder why they don't do it on every down they make it look so simple le they're back in the Chargers up ah I don't pull a the pistol foul and there was again an offensive facemask what was indicated by our official tonight dick Jorgensen kollene number 67 offense personal foul five-yard facemask detents penalties all set it cleared it up for us as a whole you just in white and there is a face mask all against Alice offsetting penalties down remains the same third and ten ball at midfield as the fourth penalty on a lot of time and he overthrows it is picked off finis Barnes this is his way to the 45-yard [Music] fifth turnover down for San Diego I'm about a good girl [Music] blessing in disguise because my foot's played with rest he's had big problem that he had those output one thoughts would like to have back he tried to force that good coverage she bounced back the tackle I was pretty good effort for that quarterback now has the ball near the 40 I love San Diego and they might start to work on the clock here's some in motion he will actually be put on the ground by Leroy Jones who read it all Phipps sack of the night incidentally college football coming your way this Saturday beginning live at 12 o'clock Houston time in the future South Carolina Georgia which would either a national or regional telecast see two of the premier running backs in college football George Rogers in South Carolina and Herschel Walker the phenomenal freshman from Georgia Herschel is on his way to a thousand yard seasons Raja's is cut the mold overall camp Heisman Trophy but of course followed by more regional games here's James Downs turning the corner in Jones falls forward looks good picking up a Dallas first down inside the 45 yard line well II do cannon made to stop defensively for the San Diego Chargers Georgia team an event still is whether six remaining undefeated teams instead of late football after up well Texas was there this fast let me get that end again Lydia about SMU over Texas back name Matt Callahan I said that was first down actually with the loss was third down and nine quite because somehow rather Duke Harrison comes up with it at the 31 intercepts for the Rif donut you got butch Johnson over the bottle beer screen good Pearson going to the outside gotta get this Dallas team this whole organization a great feeling credit they better hold it as you look at that picture of Duke Pearson they've got to fold it after the first half they came out and loaded for the second half they have played brilliantly they've been out for two nice trips they've gotten breaks yes but they've capitalized Harrison's first kept to the night oddly first attend Alice there's a motion [Music] and the isolated receiver a Joe Dupree in and out of the end zone Danny said I'll what on dude man I've got too much fun trouble Becky anyone waiting that long to throw the ball gotta remember to keep plays in this game by Danny white walk down plumbing situations Danny running for the first down so many of those as you say key situations in the game like there's a lot of them have been mistakes you don't like to see it that pot that you referred to I like that I think that's really at that stage of the game the distance he had to go that was a good call Ron cappelletti to the San Diego recharge the bench charges last year from the rounds of course second down ten o'clock play new house the source is a 15-yard line the crowd loves this fan body over nine years always dependable always there there goes off that's terrific little droplet [Applause] the inside and here comes Bobby then he wouldn't go down no sir ran running to Mike for 42 kenthoi picked him up on first down look like Nottingham maybe ever go get that yeah first and ten jealous hit by Bob horn it's down close to the 10-yard line again without four it'll be second down in six and if you're wondering about this game going a little late the eastern time zone after that matter interview anywhere these two quarterbacks while they white has thrown the ball 29 times tonight bouncing stone a 35 times and of course the clock is stopped with each incompletion or a receiver stepping out of bounds and of course we've had a veritable plethora that's gone back to the second year [Applause] statute of limitations is not run out second insects with Tony Hale in the football at a game of a couple Danny white the James Downes to Tony Hill gain of a couple of we're going to pause five seconds and let our stations along the line identify themselves [Music] hey I via neva by C Caldwell Texas Stadium we have seen the fireworks tonight some of the strange happening is a we have seen in ten years of covering ABC's Monday Thursday and Sunday Night Football we're down for resting at the 9 yard line day really bouncing off my fuller all over sighs that you just there's no substitute for that size and strength village Oh two three throw this ball to when he put it in there PFT he drilled it right right all numbers you have to remember this game the 14 that almost let it 31 that's the ring yo sup Deon this will make it 28 unanswered points for the Cowboys markable yeah who the uprights and the Cowboys 42:24 over the charges we'll be back with more is unreal this none of the fight I have never seen that one before that is a real one it is how they get into Little League early down here except yeah we'll kick off Chuck Muncie is back I'd say at the two yardline it stays in there drop one against the Oakland Raiders a couple of weeks ago the Raiders got on top of it for six points China this defeat and that's what it's now clearly gonna be has to be devastating for the Chargers a great football team somehow the 18 points behind then they can't quite recollect how what happened there's and they must forgive to doubt them Jack Muncie right still on his feet Lily down the sidelines finally taken out of bounds out of the 32 yard line picking up the first down in doing so Frank they must begin to doubt themselves because add this loss to the one they suffered at the hands of a resurgent Oakland team what was 3824 refresh their there's no question and Dallas has done this without Tony Dorsett and in the process discovered Jimmy Jones and Timmy noose Winslow's Vic tight ended motion [Music] enzymes sack spouts at the 20-yard line a lot of time he just couldn't find a receiver and then he could not see over good Jones Mary Cole was the guy that really enforced it in the direction of Ed Jones you trying it with Larry Cole and all the sudden there was at Jones the guy that bridge set it up you'll see right here watch Randy white number 82 54 they've done a crisscross in there Randy knocks out that guy here comes Larry Cole to make him jump and there's Big Ed Jones on the other side they have them had some help from everybody there Jefferson is on the fence to the charges he is still having that was a loss of 11 the second down 21 the second intercept to the night ships out of bounds seven yard line [Music] it's hard to tell it was just literally not very well for all third interception of Dan Fouts tonight you live for the past you're going to go away by the past let's see if it was I didn't see that it was reflected but it certainly could have been regards seems to be fairly good well I just think he just understood a little bit in the arrow Steve Wilson very wisely says I've done my job here the 27-yard nine of the Chargers turning back to the inside is Robert new house in Robert new house is taken there at the line of scrimmage a couple of yards it'll be second down at 8:00 Lyndon King was their first whether Charlie geezer named Don Coryell has said something as gone what in the world has happened well we've had let's see we've got now 60 stands right there look at those turns turnovers which is a good part of the answer in the case of this game not really cuz San Diego really has an established of good offensive against us second and eight Jones Dov's is paola getting down at the 22 yard line for a gain of a couple every third down and four bob horn on the stop there is the elbow we spoke of and he still in Jefferson really was been in pain instilling the hometown boy here from Dallas family and friends out here the ball game tonight you know Roosevelt High School yeah no no longer is Roosevelt High School in the days of Bobby Hayes that was that was John's guy he won't be like Bobby Hayes transistor radio a local rock station on ya 34 out of the shotgun and I believe the Cowboys might've used a little too much time who's going to make sure the white stay anyway well this is when it gets kind of fun and you also get a little cocky about this time here sitting up there leading 4224 yeah I don't think Danny would have thrown that ball at Jones in the first quarter Joe about $1 I don't think they have done that they is that a good night he's 24 34 233 yards 3 TVs Barriss the tempers of brave delay of game the ball is now at the 27 yard line of the charges 727 remaining together the shotgun teams have only met once before over several years ago and I think that past is actually not intended for Preston Pearson but other drew person impressed Anderson got into the pattern was deflected by Woodrow Lowe cept Yaron for the field goal San Diego has no one to blame but itself all the turnovers all the mistakes if they happened in a strange way Winslow's drop at the ball after a great catch 45-yard a tip septa leaves legs sharp hitting the crossbar so sup Tia this is from 45 yards up San Diego half the football they'll have it alone 27 yard line when we come back Dec 2 Stadium has been a lot of fun for the Cowboys here in the second half they grow for 28 points unanswered points I might add San Diego has the ball first in ten down 4224 pass immediately to the air it was close to a trap was and even that pass was deflected Frank and they'll bring it back in complete yep an indication of the time of the game it is everybody's get a little bit tired you guys got a good game lined up tomará in Shea Stadium that's gonna be a good one what do you think I think Miami has now become an interesting team with young Woodley at quarterback and they're in an interesting position because of the builds upset of the Pats today and watching what's out in the second half here tonight you can't tell about this league anymore second down ten what that was that his wife your head again I had to be there was Tony Waters was standing right in front of his intended receiver if it could have been he just decided to put it in the ground that's Bruce garden number 77 some kind of some fresh Lakes they've got in there rushing that faster these guys have been doing this all night well Hemi passes his pass alone 30 summer goes to 40 fastest 38 38 there you go 38 attempts put some fresh people in there for the Cowboys Thornton number 77 came up last year as an eighth round draft pick he was a surprise turned into a super pass rusher well that Jones was to make a boxing career for himself where's Jim things run up as a man open intercepted cannot believe picked off by Dennis Thurmond it is that while what a heck of a putt though you can't get it got a punt that boy that battle does have the ball fourth interception of Faust tonight this is a lens of it he had gotten a little bit behind Charlie waters Floyd dips the ball right in his hands and that's what that Dennis thermos supposed to do in that free Safety's let me recover deep pulse couldn't work the tip tail any better that reminds me of the beat rows catch you see now the catcher's mitt into the other and there we've got it it's unbelievable this game is crazy and there 657 remaining on the clock at this point in time I hope they keep the ball on the grill why you got a plane to catch yes he's going to New York Wow boys at their own 12 yard line give me Newsome 30 the rookie from winston-salem State James Jones from Mississippi State those are the setbacks where we get the reverse Billy Joe Dupree Billy Joe by Fred Dean cowboy is back to actually a pretty good play by be that time because it was set up and he gotten around a hundred Dean has played a remarkable game and deserved to better individual faith but he hurt his elbow that time because he one-armed him he tripped him up with that one arm sticking out there janna flipped him Dana Costa miss the first couple of games of the season anaconda contract dispute his plate a football that he plays to the last two years with San Diego checking down at Ted now billy joe able to get back to the line of scrimmage on that reverse Jones and Joe what's after the 15 yard line somehow eluding the grasp of Leroy Jones well they did a little better this week good night on the ground Dallas any of that Eagle game that they go defense they play I think the Eagles play the Cowboys the last game of the year it might come down to that those teams are really very evenly matched but that was a good game that he had not Dallas should be in the playoffs under any circumstances is a wild card well there's a gain of three is third down seven for Danny why two drops into the shotgun Preston person comes in gifted receiver number 26 and again Dallas uses up to 30 seconds and we'll have a delay of game penalty five yards against Dallas well they're just taking this there can't lose your concentration guys delay offense still third down long mark back to the 10-yard line a third down and 13 belts is I said earlier and angry man and a frustrated man I think his face shows down says four interceptions on the night his worst effort of that department was a year ago came to this Houston in the playoffs 30:13 screen from his own end zone Springs another question Pearson in there and Pierce it out for the first time you can make a first down on a third down play it twelve to go sitting on your own pin excellent blocking head good play in there but all the guys are out in front reberty Fitzgerald look at 65 herbs got 68 was out there Fitzgerald 62 with the key block has picture-perfect Oh Preston he does have a way just handling around picking up those first downs any Reston Pearson in his 14th year sounded Baltimore went to Pittsburgh the five years been here for five years effort by injuries early to break even Reserve Jones Jones out over the 25 to the 22 yard line Dallas settles in they think now to work on the clock which indicates 4:15 and moving as it's turned out what a great opportunity for a guy like Jones to have this game experience against the top team absolutely so tonight as far as getting that experience getting the guy they got news from his not ladies Frank's corner that he's not cured of all month he's had a chance to run these guys here tonight and Tony dorset's got another week to rest those ribs and they could be very very tender Dallas now with 28 first down their best effort in their history 32 against Green Bay a couple of years ago second down and seven Jones you know you can almost see a youngster when he comes into this league he was so tentative we saw him against Washington and now you watch Dylan's run he runs like he knows where he's going he runs like he's going from Starkville to Oxford Mississippi he'll make a better player out of Dorsett yeah I think one of the main reasons why that happens is really that they come from different colleges around and they just want to make the team any way they can when they say okay I've got the team made now they start learning the system the run into place and they do run before they've got their mild other things third down for ball at the cowboys 30-yard line three minutes remaining in the game anyway hangs it up intended there for a nuisance this and however well covered by Bob more in the middle linebacker and Jim blasts living warmer graded the Detroit Lions and of course Penn State who is now in there defensively for the Chargers how the charger fans showed up here in Dallas tonight first half we saw jaw Jim Powell the second half we saw it last so that's really unusual they did not score a single point fourth down Danny white two-putt Mike fuller is dropped to his 30-yard line [Applause] obviously v Griff does not get a hand on the football because he ran into Danny Wyatt the Cowboys will maintain possession on the running into the kicker if you hit the ball with your hand you can destroy the putter wait a minute this girl I call Christmas all running into the kicker I then learned that he was pushed into the kicker no far I told him they're out there talking to one another let's see what he's talking about later moved into the cave you think his brennick left grip charity he was pushed in network by dick Jorgensen his men tonight we're gonna be exhausted they've been running all over this deal a lot of big plays San Diego first and 10 the Baba thrown 45 yard rather Center Dallas is 45 yard line 2:49 remaining all you can say is time for us to go to work on the individual steps I think he's gonna throw [Music] I'm out there right now that was this point and he is quick he's got four more quickness I think they may be Joe's on that side not nearly as big tall and maybe not as strong but he says hey did you see that man I made a move to the inside of the outside and cut him down he left Dan otic blocking air over there ah deke has done a pretty good job on Jones tonight Horton younger quicker preps and Jones and Jones really tougher against the run than he has the pass Bruce is only six five is they holes like it's a small kid out there second down 16 thank God Thomasson a wild collision at the 35-yard line goes to a first down Larry but they'll defensively now for Dallas in their number 76 and a cowboy stays on the carpet that time they caught Bruce Thornton Doug Wilkerson the levy was number 63 looked like Charlie waters waters hacked could be a lot of problems he's had hurts from top to bottom knees shoulders on the knee - right knee the right side the left knee the left marvin night for the hat the same doctor since they won Don Cochran the trainer Pat Evans and other doctor Charlie waters of course a year ago had ligament surgery actually before the start of the 79 season missed the entire season well as a graphic of the best teams of the seventies in total wanted lost records Dallas tops Miami whom we'll have tomorrow night second Oakland third of course no team has compiled a Monday night record of the Oakland Raiders I was up on his date appears to be RI that's that's good to see he's worked awfully hard to come back I know there's all season conditioning Charlie's the kind of guy he's just there a lot of time finally get himself is be ready to play on first and ten Mike Thomas was having to pick up the first down quickly the ball goes off to Thomas looks again at Thomas taken out of bounds there at the 25 yard line by Anthony dickerson the rookie from SMU stopping the clock with 204 waters by the way reestablished himself immediately the first game of the air you remember is interception on an apparent touchdown pass by theis been done yes sir in the endzone great pickoff second down left in ER the ball at the 25 yard line so hard to believe that Dallas is down 24:14 at halftime without lead of course 42:24 Harvey Martin whistled around billy shields gifts the sack [Applause] [Music] and we get the two-minute warning 40 tuna 24 with two minutes remaining in the game we'll be right back 73 combine the tips and I bet anyway and then Foust 351 yards 15th game that bounce is gone over 300 yards per centum NFL record a year ago going for 300 yards and four consecutive games he won two of those and lost two meanwhile the Chargers have the football the ball to the 25-yard line in two short of the first down third down a picture you saw was an indication to this ballgame that's John Jefferson sitting on the bench or the injured elbow sighs you say on cow count by Fox you've been going on quick counts most of the night Bruce Thornton jumped off sighs along with Harvey Martin next Sunday by the way San Diego will be at Cincinnati and next week the Cowboys will be at st. Louis hey those Cardinals were tough I'm telling you they got a good football team a surprise today well then upset a Baltimore then there are real sighs yeah Bert Jones that's really tough the Cardinals Department number 79 defense first stop Bertil have a few ice bags on the body tonight first down San Diego 20-yard line the Dallas Cowboys Smith of course banker John Jefferson he's up at the top of your screen drills that am complete goes to Mike Thomas Thomas is down it's about the 3-yard line like Thomas you had those great ears at the Washington Redskins coming up as a fifth round draft pick since carbon that comes here from his safety to get this agar well throw ball Thomas comes in that's Thurmond it's gonna like got his head in the ways I might affect knocked him out Mike Thomas San Diego timeout they have two remaining doubts is over talking with head coach Don Coryell well don't forget this Friday night ABC sports presents a big night of boxing the WBC World

John Floyd for a second-year youngster out of North East Louisiana this most of last year with a few problems the exception of joiner their receivers are really young they've got some good ones coming along in there 1:45 remaining second down goal to go the ball at the three yard line Pop's gonna try it again I try to I get it right this time it's Winslow and Winslow takes it away Barnes in all of his anger his despair of no way why do you guys maybe both have you pointed out you've got a tight end that can play the wide position and as well as the wide receivers and that is such a rarity and this calendar Winslow is no I guess we won't Gary at that Paul is that girl was despair evident in the way spike the football maybe his earlier play was the final turning point against San Diego anooshka for the conversion and the Dodgers put their first points on the scoreboard here in the second half we got 24 in the first half was the first points here in the second half we'll be back at home 1:41 remaining in the game would you believe an onside kick I'd look far too do not believe that it covers the necessary 10 yards before a charger can recover but it was very close it really was very close Hank Bauer says it did is gesticulating their tangu referee dick Jorgenson pink bow is a real key man on their special team to the California Luther got yawn it's touchdown bow pretty kick me kick 30 yard line 30 yard line thank Paola also tried to carry the ball he actually with the cowboys for a while had a couple of good days they let him go and there he is not quite enough Hank you let it go as far as far as he could if they just have to leap on it five-yard assessment and they'll kick from the 30-yard line we'll see it again I'm sure or some form of it John Jefferson no indication that it was a very severe injury he did try and come back and play and I think that let his coach Coryell just decided well we're out of this but I'm gonna keep him out here that smile seemed to indicate he was feeling pretty well when he came back and played a couple series but all right then put it up at the 30-yard line with 141 remaining in the game you'll see the old shuffle I'm sure again yeah here they come 110 a 2 & a 3 & a 4 Mama's little bitty balls on that stupid scale rookie out of South Carolina perform very well the Dallas Cowboys he's in there on their past prevent defense and it's a very subtle transition time for the Cowboys interesting a year ago Jeff Harris was still playing they only had 13 interceptions this year they've already surpassed that they
