1983 Week 3 - N.Y. Giants at Dallas

the new york giants against the dallas cowboys live from texas stadium in irving texas the giants come to town against the cowboys sold out weather conditions temperature 93 degrees it's much hotter than that down on the playing surface humidity 52 winds south 16 miles an hour and the forecast for the rest of the day is partly cloudy good afternoon many of you have been watching the progress of the rams and the packers we'll keep you posted on what's going on in that game they have now have less than a minute left to play i'm pat summerhall this is john madden we spent a long time yesterday with tom landry and ask him how he has some apprehension that's what he said you know he said they've been winning they've had to come from behind in both games he said they've been doing it with big plays and he's disappointed in two areas specifically his defense his past defense is last in the nfl and a special team as a matter of fact this week tom landry took over the special teams himself john you know as long as you coached as long as i've been around the nfl a lot of times you get the impression that people don't deal with the limitations that they have but in talking to bill parcells the giant head coach yesterday he thinks that his team is capable of doing certain things and he's playing and planning to do just that well of course he wants to deal with his strengths he realizes the biggest strength of the giants is his defense so he wants to let them get field position make big plays for him he also realizes that he has good kickers he has good special teams and he does have some limitations on offense now last week against atlanta they they had a ball control type they'd run on first down run on second down try and create those third and five and third and sixth deal so that they could get that short passing this week he says he wants to do the same thing again the only difference is he'd like to have some surprises on first down so we may see some play passes early and early just to let you know it is very very warm and humid temperature down the field is vastly different from what it is up here and just being down there for a few minutes a short time ago it is very hot the giants that want to toss they will receive the kickoff and back to return for them eventually will be danny pippin perhaps we'll just have to take a look at who else raphael stepped in off to a great start this year hasn't missed anything we'll kick off for dallas not only would the weather be a factor but the sun as it comes through that huge hole up in the top of the roof of texas stadium will also be a factor billy pitman can't feel number 38 35 sorry ex-philadelphia eagle who did uh such human work for them for a long time and they'll be looking right dead into that sun that can bother you raphael septim will kick it off and start this match between the cowboys and the giants good pick canfield shading his eyes five yards deep in the end zone starts to come out changes his mind and stays the lineups for the giants the offensive backs and receivers bruner carpenter ernest gray and john missler up front it's vincent humphrey turner gordon king and the tight end zeke moat scott bruner the quarterback 6'5 [Music] last week 18 out of 30 for 194 yards the one touchdown the one interception so the giants will operate the first offensive play from scrimmage from their own 20-yard line [Applause] butch wolfer bounces outside bounces for about four yards the ever-present it seems and always there john stenerud has beaten the los angeles rams and beaten john robinson as the packers win 27-24 that's the final the dallas defense they play the four-man front as they have for well as long as they've been here the linebackers hegman brunigan dickerson the secondary walls thurman clint scale and down second [Applause] [Music] went with two tight ends two running backs they only had one wide receiver in there and i think that's how they want to shore up that first down running a little and they came back with a short pass on on second down and now they create that third one situation [Applause] [Music] i don't know it is close no it's not carpet or it's what's woolford and he's got the first down one of the things bill parcells was telling us last night that he wants to do a little misdirection he said he knows that the cowboys were really key let's go back to new york and brent musberger and pat here is that field goal by john cena road 36 yards but it was set up by a fumble by eric dickerson the packers then ran one play then they kicked the winning field goal so green bay comes back they beat the rams 27-24 back to pat summerhall and before this year is over those packers are going to be a factor second and two butch close to another first down maybe he has it i think that was a type of play that we were talking about where they had carpenter going one way to the left and then we'll folk going up inside not having to sweep let's watch it again we'll see carpenter here in the left now watch him see he comes across the backfield that gets pruning to take a step that way and then in a misdirection they bring wolfvolk back against the it's a giant first down at their own 41-yard line melody was the man in motion this is carpenter and carpenter bangs out to about the 45 before mike pegman takes him down one thing about talking to bill parcells as we did yesterday he let you know what it is he's going to try to do i'll tell you he really is an open and honest guy i think i think if he has time he's going to be someday he'll be one of the real good head coaches in this league all you have to do to get time is win a few [Applause] they say not [Applause] it was wide open they caught the cowboys and and moai just split their defense he's upset the rookie free agent let's just watch it again here it is we see the you know the play pass then moat is coming right up the middle he never did gain control of the ball see just as he was starting he had the ball up there just as he started to put it away the ball passed out so the official said he never had control of it that's an incomplete pass so scott brunner will now operate from the shotgun penalty markers go down bruner shows the sweep danny pitman made the reception [Applause] for the tackle you know that's something new for the giants that that play there was the first time that they've used a shotgun this year they tried to go on a quick count and they did go on the quick count except it was too quick 14-yard gain first down wiped out by that penalty illegal motion number 81 offense third down the motion man of course the illegal motion could be that he was he was going forward before the ball was snapped it's third and 12 and i think that's exactly what happened now they go with extra wide receivers and one more time they go from the shotgun cam field back there with gruner cowboy gets outside does not get the first down as the cowboys tried to put the heat the on will have to put on fourth down this is the type of thing that the giants want to do and it's the type of thing you do when you have a good defense you get that third long you don't go for it all you just take a solid safe play if you break it fine if you don't the worst thing you can have is this guy here dave jennings punt is one of the best punter in the league let him get the offense down here and play your strong defense the cowboys send back a single safety we'll check the hang time jennings donnelly will handle story from one man giant did a good job getting down very quickly 41-yard punt one-yard return jennings okay not his best but not bad cowboys will take over the offensive backs and receivers for dallas danny white dorsett springs drew pearson and tony hill offensive line donovan scott rafferty peterson cooper and cosby tom landry shuttles those two guards so we'll just have to keep track of losing the game it is her for scott to begin things rafferty the center will check the giant defense in just a minute dallas first down at their own 13. two tight end set up [Applause] defense of the giants includes mcgriff burt and partisan that's against the ruin the linebackers and help kelly carson and taylor that's against the run the secondary haines-jackson courier in reese it'll be second and seven as dorset spun his way for three yards long setbacks score set [Music] that's [Applause] tony hill magnificent individual effort [Applause] one of the first rules that you teach your defensive players is never think you hear the whistle blow look like some of the giants thought you got him let's go it's all over but it wasn't tony hill kept going let's watch it again it's going to be a scream we see the center guard tackle all pull out to the right to get in front of hill nice big pile out there there's george martin he'll miss right there back there we have another miss lawrence taylor look you all got him i got him you take him who got him no one he'll run out of bounds before it's over well that's a long time at the dance for just two yards [Applause] [Music] the best in the nfc may be the best in the nfl but i just showed you why he thinks that well i'll tell you one other thing we know is that bill parcells was telling us last night that anytime they get in that area third and sixth their favorite receiver is ron springs he said so you have to do something then they rolled up into a zone on his side and that's why terry jackson the right corner was up there to make the play ex cowboy beasley reese is back deep for the giants [Music] [Music] [Applause] quickly this is something that the cowboys felt they had to work on and they did with landry in supervision special teams when the head coach comes over and easy he's the coach he said i really don't want to admit that until after the game we'll see how they do first and so tom has been working with the special teams throughout this week and so far he should be happy i think he's so happy he doesn't even sweat on a hot day like this that goat tie hat wonder how that would be [Music] [Applause] one thing that's very difficult on this cowboy defense they use that flex is to run right or left to sweep it really if you're going to you have to run straight at it so north and south is the way to go not east and west second down and twelve [Applause] quickly and carpenter stays down let's go to brett mussberger right now in new york half for the second time this afternoon walter payton to the bears has gunned a touchdown pass this one to the rookie willie galt golf has caught four passes three for touchdowns of 8 56 and 21 yards they're tied with a minute back to pat sumrall walter payton has found new life as a thrower it's the old triple threat remember that guy that would run it throw it and kick it and he is as a matter of fact their backup placement third down 11 bruner from the shotgun cowboys ernest gray gets the clutch reception coming across the middle 23-yard game giant first down bill bates made the stop but let's see how gray got there i'll tell you grace starts from the left side we watch him he's the outside guy there ron fellows is man-to-man on him now this is a running pattern he's just starting he has the whole field there's no safety in the middle he just runs right by fellows gets a step on him and then gets a big play first down giants they're at the cowboy 36 no score yet double giant set up with melody's boat you know when the cowboys get into that situation passing downs on defense always go to a man-to-man type defense because they like to blitz a lot and the offense then you want to run running patterns the way grey did not the zone patterns the hooks and stuff but where you have a chance against man-to-man to run away from a defender so well put and that's the way to attack it rob carpenter is alone set back behind [Applause] let's check some of the other scores around the nfl atlanta beat detroit first time the lions have lost 30 to 14. somewhat of a mystery team you heard us say a minute ago that john stenerud beat the rams 27-24 with his field goal surprise score there new england over the chance 23-13 pittsburgh 40 houston 28 final trouble in houston scott bruner's 2 out of 4 27 yards third and sixth situation printer will operate from the shotgun [Music] [Applause] got himself very loose 12-yard gain first down giant's anthony dickerson knocked him out of bounds bill parcells was saying that campfield did this for so many years for the philadelphia eagles against them come in on that third down catch that big pass for the first down he said when the eagles waved him that was the first thing on my mind this guy has caught so many third down passes against us i'd like to have him playing for us and doing it what she's doing and that just paid off 605 left first quarter first and ten giants at the dallas 20 no score so far it's been the kind of game that the giants would want outside breaks one tackle gets to that's the example of this flex defense bringing the middle linebackers free the defensive line keep the the offensive line off pruning so he can just chase now walls comes up to the outside forces him back into the middle liner middle linebacker pruning that's why he'll always lead the team in tackles every tom landry coach team has had that situation [Applause] [Music] again john dutton wrapped him up after about a yard carpenter has been working hard the first two weeks you know last week against atlanta bill parcells was saying when they went into overtime he said he went over and he said carpenter was there sitting on his helmet looked like he just got back from some war and he says hey you okay he says yeah just give me the ball those guys who sit on their helmet they're usually ready i like those guys fred blitnikov was a great helmer sitter helmet sitter on here back to phil glitch is on knocked away at the last second by emerson wall intended for washington 27 kansas city 12. redskins came from behind to win that one they're going to be tough too throughout the year here is ali sheik last week with his field goal in overtime beat the atlanta falcon scott bruner is the holder so of course there is always that possibility that he might put it up [Music] [Applause] very true the giants break on top three nothing over dallas pat summer all john madden texas stadium giants lead three nothing on a 31-yard field goal by the man at whom you look ali sheikh chuck mcswain and ron fellows back deep for dallas high kick another very good winner fellows almost broke out of the pack gets back to the 28th byron hunt who played here collegiately at smu made the stop the giants three dallas nothing first quarter 431 left exactly what the giants would like to have continue look how long they had the ball and if they're going to be successful they need that type of thing throughout the game running their own 29 the cowboys operate with tony dorsett the lone setback comes outside pearson to the left and now pearson goes in motion annie white to throw on first looks outside half true pearson who jukes for first down harry carson out to make the stop but a 12-yard gain nevertheless let's watch drew pearson here now the giants play mostly zone pass defense this is the zone we see van pelt underneath you see haynes is a corner safety inside and we see pearson he just comes underneath out to the sideline and gets that first down dallas at their own 41. pitch back door set looking for some room for the outside planned a little for a minute lawrence taylor tough man to judy tripped him up after a gain of about three well that guy right there tony dorsett is a pretty good juker though you know tom landry was saying you know he's not a blaster and that's why they get him so deep in the backfield let that defense react and then by the time gorset gets there he just runs against their reaction he sees so much second and seventh springs in front of dorsett and now dorset aligns himself well now he goes backwards deep very deep springs of all carriers felt the tackler they need about three more for a first down just keeping you up to date on some other scores overtime in chicago and new orleans against the saints against the bears 31-31 in the fourth quarter of flying houston seattle seven san diego seven first quarter minnesota leading tampa bay seven nothing the ears having all kinds of problems getting on the scoreboard now split wide to the left the two other wide receivers wide to the right all kinds of weapons for dallas white will try to take advantage of it overthrow tenants for dorset i think i'll tell you who caused that one and he won't get credit for it anywhere george martin the left end danny white was looking he was waiting for someone to come open now watch from the right of the screen here danny white's in a shotgun he's gonna look out there to the right but look what he sees he sees george martin right there he has to get rid of the ball before he wants to so he just threw it away that incompletion should go to george martin defensive left end number 75. that was andy hitton who was closest to dorsett but you were exactly right george martin who did the damage great punch by march at about the two-yard line and the giants are deep in the hole 49-yard punt no return warren will keep his job with efforts like that for notre dame against miami right here right on cbs 3-0 here at texas stadium the giants lead the cowboys with 217 left first quarter scott bruner the giants quarterback hands to bush and butch stays on his feet gets the giants out of a hole a first down all the way out near the 20. butch wolf's longest run of the year right now let's go to brent busburg the philadelphia eagles have struck first against the denver broncos jaworski looking for quick from the 38 and he's got him and the eagles score seven after the tony franklin extra point they lead at 7-0 let's go back to pat and john first down at their own 19. carpet to the carrier carpenter gets the yard you know i was just thinking about what tom landry said before they went to st louis last week he said we felt the most important thing we had to do was shut down o.j anderson and he felt going here i think that we have to control carpenter and that's why that first down run by wolf hulk was so successful it was another one of those misdirection they sent carpenter one way wolf walked the other way the cowboy defense were all key and carpenters second and seven 107 left first quarter walls the tackler up there i think everson walls is probably the most confident defensive back that i have ever seen this guy they say he can't run he wasn't drafted in the nfl the whole draft all he does is come in and he wins his starting spot his first year makes all-pro and starts in the pro bowl but the guy is so confident he gets out there like he can cover anyone while nobody can last i don't think john i think you would agree in that position if you don't have that confidence that's one of the biggest things because they're out there all alone they're on an island a lot of the time third ball at the giant 27 time [Music] carpenter bruner quarterback draw got the first down that's the wrinkle we haven't seen oh i know i think the giants have a lot of new wrinkles for the cowboys watch it here it's a quarterback draw bruner will start like he's going back let the cowboys start their rush sees the opening and comes right up the middle we caught him in the perfect defense he caught him in a stunt you see him they were all going to the outside they left that big middle for the quarterback that's not something that's done without a lot of research you just don't pick up those things like that at the end of one it's three nothing giants third down and three that's when the cowboys like quarterback delays to keep the ball keep the cowboys from getting that big play then they feel they have a legitimate chance looking deep this time he made sure first down giants in dallas territory at the cowboy 44 20-yard game michael downs the tackle that's something else they must have figured out let's watch the effect of the play patch see it hold the middle linebacker brunic and then moat comes right in behind him they throw it over his head that's why you run the playback you fake the run hold that middle linebacker who's supposed to get deep in the middle that holds him up there boom right over his head to your tight end so far it has really been a very appropriate game plan for the giants here's winner he cuts in for a couple ford nfl update let's send you back to our new york studio and brent mussberger that minnesota quarterback tommy kramer has been knocked out of the game against tampa bay he was rolling around the left side when mike washington got a hold of him and tommy's cleats stuck out of bounds he then twisted a knee he is sidelined and steve dills is now quarterbacking minnesota leads by seven back to you [Music] and here brent the giants have uh painted a pretty picture so far they've done exactly what they planned to do [Applause] mike miller with a great speed case down by pruning and knocked out of bounds by pruning mike miller of course was with the green bay packers the giants got him late and they've been working him slowly into their offense but anytime they put him in they try and get a big play to him here it is a reverse start to sweep to the right and then bring it back to miller he is one of the fastest guys in the national football league it's been a long time if ever since they had speed like that he played the receiver at tennessee right with willie oh wow would you like to be a defensive back having to play against those games [Applause] short of a first down of course scott bruner is upset there with last week against atlanta the first week they you know they took the brunt of everything uh against this is why the giants had to take time out they had 12 men on the field there's danny pittman he started to run on the field right there he started to run on then they had 12 minutes so they had to take a timeout pittman may have thought right there that it was going to be a punt 53 yards for ali chic if they hadn't taken the time out they would have wouldn't put the sheet back so far that he probably couldn't try to field them pittman didn't have any place to go on the field goal team because that's usually the big strong guys up there pittman's not one of those guys from 53 yards out he's got the [Music] oh power give the giants a first down if it's against dallas tom landry's emotion looks like it is full start offense he just wiped a little sweat off his brow i think didn't they because that takes the giants out of field goal range to bring in their punt team just exactly what we were talking about they lost a timeout they lost five yards illegal snap number 60 offense fourth dom dave jennings angling for the corner hits it well and corners it pretty well too 35-yard punt but that's not the story of how good that is 12 minutes left to play in the first half at texas stadium and the high scoring cowboys aren't on the board yet these are two teams who did not meet last year because of the strike situation both of their games against each other were cancelled so it goes back to two years ago since they faced each other it's three nothing so far the giant plan has worked was the first man in blue to hit him see what happened on that last play it was funny doug donnelly ran on the field said something to danny white and ran back off that'd be a lousy position to play you're a messenger you don't get to play any plays well here comes donnelly again maybe he's got the rest of the message hey that happened to john robinson in oregon once glenn casanova was a coach and john came up and said that's a way to hit robbie he didn't even stay in a play white [Applause] of course we'll start out here now what happened doug donnelly was out there trying to block on mark haines he doesn't get him now watch dorset make this little move now it's a corner out here haynes is going to make the play you see donnelly trying to block him no way haynes really made a nice tackle let's watch donnelly come off here see here's haynes 36. finally comes off faces him he just goes boom take that makes the tackle maybe that's why donnelly's delivering messages [Applause] to go in overtime in new orleans morton anderson kicks this 41-yard field goal and the saints have won their first game in overtime in their history 34-31 over the bears back to you and john and dallas all right brent thank you here it's three nothing the giants lead the cowboys cowboys have the ball a minute a ten minutes 32 seconds left in the first half three dallas nothing set the long set back pierson swings right back at the line of scrimmage would usually indicate that somebody used their hands illegally curtis mcgriff who plays the run so well for the giants made the stop facemask against the giants had to be against one of the linemen yeah that flag was thrown right there in the middle where you you know you'd catch something on a center or a guard it was thrown by the umpire who lines up right behind them let's see who draft grabbing the face mask number 64. tacked on to the end of the run first down that's right that umpire he's the guy sitting right behind the defense and he's watching in there that's center and two guards of course he's watching him for holding but then he's also going to see the nose tackle grab a face mask he must have done it earlier well yeah he did he did it right on the snap you're sent to the outside almost but look who's there lawrence taylor he's about as quick as dorsett from the other side of the field he just covers that whole field sideline to sideline there's a lot of overrated players in our national football league i think but lawrence taylor is not one of them you know we get one of those new words every week somebody here earlier in the week said he was the ultimate impact player especially boom that's the impact they're talking [Music] [Applause] knocked him out of bounds there was some doubt about whether courier would be able to play or not that's nine yards another dallas first down donnelly's over there talking about the defense he may be talking to his teammates yeah i got that one pretty good getting the feeling of this game now starting to get into it getting into this game you know this is the third regular season game the cowboys have started out their entire season behind the redskins had to come from behind saint louis last week 10 to nothing and here's three to nothing jimmy newsome now is the tailback and this is newsom the ball he's as big as a house [Applause] not new house tim burton [Applause] you might be wondering why it's donnelly instead of tony hill tony hill has a sprained arch and he may or may not be back let's watch this it's a hook pass it's going to be right in front of cornerback mark haynes who injured himself on this play pat let's see if we can see that you see he's hooking he hooks right in front of haynes and then brad van pelt hits over the top but mark haynes hurt himself and he came out mike dennis is out left corner dennis playing in place of have [Music] draped around his feet there's another one of those things where the incompletion should be given george martin hit him first there's another guy they land up in the shotgun white looks over the defense i look for something unusual right now [Applause] way down in the end zone is the flag or close to the end zone look at donnelly that was one of those things the quarterback was out of the pocket when the illegal contact occurred first down timeout just had to scramble out of the pocket and through that interception of course and the rule is as well just as they have to run for attack so they pick the flag up giants from their own 21. carpenter to about the 26. everson walls around his ankles mistler comes wide to the left ernest very wide to the right it's back to butch one of the tackles the other is hegemony but again that's the giants plan it's they're playing like now they're in a situation third and one they can either run play pass or a little pass and they got that clock running 614 left first half three tight end set up curls the body up top doesn't get the first down dennis thurman's the first man to make the hit and dave jennings will come into action that was when as carpenter hurled his body the defense hurled their bodies and they all met in the top i watch it here the bullfolk is leading here comes carpenter now watch as he starts to jump up dennis thurman just steps in pruning is also there and he meets him at the height of his jump there's no more forward motion dave jennings standing back to punt for the giants ron fellows back not doug jennings doesn't get it all but not the rest of it he gets out to the 32 where dallas will take over larry flowers was the man who made the stop 43 yards but five yards return 29 left to play first [Applause] there's tony hill yeah he's still limping [Music] lost there is harry carson one of the leaders of the giant defense and here's how it happened watch him here number 53 it's a screen pass out to the left now watching now kurt peterson is going to come up right here watch him and he puts his shoulder right on that left knee here right there and it looked like his foot got caught it's a left knee that one hurts knees are not meant to bend in that direction second and fourteen 508 left to play first half three cowboys nothing gets back to the line of scrimmage and a flag is thrown yeah well here's jerry mark right illegally you think you were talking a minute ago about the count then they decide and they see what they have to do and they make it up against washington they were down 20 points against kansas city illegal use of the hands number 65 offense second down against st louis they were down by ten and that was a pattern that was established and they went out and won the game but it's more i think and i think what you're saying it's it's more mental than it is not physically being ready to play i think it is uh you see tom landry there looking at the card uh the train attendant he thought that tom landry saved special plays for the second half we'll see [Applause] [Music] annie white in a sandwich at the 40. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i'll tell you that's what has made drew pearson a great receiver in this league for 11 years now a lot of guys can run those outside matters and run those deep ones but i'll tell you pearson goes in there four guys around him taking that ball right out of the air a lot of guys who won't even go in there that's right you know a lot of them you know they like to catch those sideline passes step out of bounds catch those deep ones in the end zones do the dances they can find a reason why there's nothing inside the dance floor is a lot more crowded in the middle of the field it's third and short one to be exact white is eight out of 11 for 70 yards pearson's caught three for 45. goes inside and springs puts his head down and it's going to be very close as to whether or not he made the first down curtis mcgriff first down dallas for an nfl update let's take you now to our new york studio and brent busberger at the sluggish tampa bay buccaneers get a touchdown here from james owens but they missed the extra point and they still trail minnesota 10 to six back to patent john and dallas cost for a minor celebration celebration anyway because that's the first touchdown for the bucks this year and then they missed the extra point on the years they're going to miss doug williams more and more all right wife makes the door set through with a one-handed catch that's pretty good athlete you see that he just plucked that ball out of the ears with his left hand he was running a crossing pattern well watch white here he's going to start on a bootleg see he fakes the sweep to the left bootlegs out to the right here comes drew pierce watch one hand just pluck that thing right out of the air and keep on running i like those kind of plays bootlegs and crosses and one-handed catches and stuff carson's back in the game white back to pass cowboys [Music] donnelly still on his feet don ray fights courier finally stops 35 yards that's one thing about the them dallas cowboys them and stop them but they keep shooting those bullets at you well let's watch doug donnelly again it's against the zone corner rotated up there's a line linebacker brian kelly and he catches it between a short man and a deep man keeps his feet going keeps running nice little move ball out there pretty good first and goal from the nine giants this is going to be offensive interference i'll bet you pushed off the guy who calls it throws a flag and comes running up to the referee then it will be you're right set defensive back pass interference number 84 offense first down of course the offensive guy can do it too and they usually do it push the other guy [Applause] first in 19 right back takes left close right springs makes a one-handed catch keeps the ball bangs down to about the 14. [Applause] mark haynes made the stop harry carson was back in on that play now he's walking off the field again well it's very hot in addition to being favoring an ankle and favoring a knee we're gonna fight the elements as well second and thirteen now they have to touch down [Applause] of the year stock planted and ran to the sideline so it's third and goal from the four and a half 202 left first quarter shotgun formation anybody there cosby had a dropped [Applause] raphael stepped in with glenn carrano holding ian hasn't missed anything all year again danny white's favorite receiver when he gets down here is his big tight end doug cosby six foot six because he can see him i hear crosby's up when he comes down he has to have control i don't think he did because his feet have to get down 157 left to play first half the cowboys have taken the lead 7-3 the cowboys got one on that play whoever raphael kickoff raphael stepped in seven three fifty and laces it deep good big yard back not a better kicker around right now in terms of kickoffs and field goals and extra points than that guys at the end because you know he's one of those guys that's a heck of an athlete you know he can do a lot of things besides kick the ball they have a racquetball tournament to cowboys they used to have one for the whole league and they stopped having it because septien won it every year [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well the cowboy defense has been on the on the bench and they had a little rest so now they can come in and they're all fired up they're active got everything going here pretty good first half we're getting to the situation where the cowboys might be starting to think about using some of their timeouts so they get the ball back hopefully in good field position randy white jason got him almost got him ernest gray the intended receiver michael downs was there but give a hurry for randy white right that's right and that's one of the situations that the giant offense can't get into let's watch randy white here he's going to come right to the left of the screen see he goes right around art here he come boom boom boom and then pruner has to turn spin finds a receiver he throws a pretty good pass in there yeah he's dropped the ball that's pretty good for a guy under harassment with scrambling like that bruno now goes back to the shotgun so you can have a better look at things [Applause] anfield and carpenter back there with him here comes the pressure again he's going deep pass picked off by everest knocked out of bounds of the 1 5 bruner [Applause] the giants have a tough time in long yardage we see here it's going to come right off of the receiver's hand see he starts in the balls a little behind him everson walls is right there he's always at the right spot but the other thing about this guy here is he has great hands a lot of defensive backs don't that's why they play defense because they can't catch [Applause] he is amazing he's happy he got a new contract you know a week or so ago now he's got a new ball to play with yeah take it home tonight one minute to go first and go at the one for dallas dallas seven the giants three one minute left to play in the first half giants out of timeouts dallas with three it's a surprise the giants took a time out there because the change of possession is an automatic timeout anyway they probably wanted to set their goal line defense [Music] now watch 36 is the outside guy cosby blocks down here comes the guard scott the fullback he just knifes right in and gets dorsette before he gets one bit of hurt second goal from the two now clock running 24 seconds remaining out for me a great scrambling touchdown [Applause] that was a legal catch in the end zone but again danny white loves to look for cosby down here because he's such a big target watch crosby come off the line there's mark haynes on him see haynes is following but he's such a big guy you just throw it in there the ball bounced off his chest he comes and gets it back again with one hand wow you make a great waiter i think that's what it is because haynes was right there the ball bounced off his chest and that was his boom next reaction then the last one was a bumper [Music] to kick off well with 11 seconds now i'm sure the giants will just run out the clock and not second-guessing today and i'm sure you're exactly right john that's what they'll do now they've done it before not second guessing it would still be 7-3 as it is it's dallas 14 the giants 3. welcome back to new york irv walter payton may have lost but what a day he had for chicago unbelievable they carried the ball 28 times gained 161 yards it also threw some touchdown passes what about that two touchdown passes both of which were critical at the time now here he is going to willy galt this will tie the score at 34. galt caught three touchdown passes on the game four overall thinner new orleans went ahead and peyton wasn't finished here it again peyton on a run pass the defense reacts to that and wallace is winning and i'm gonna throw again then it was tim ryan with time in overtime four minutes to go morton anderson coming on the field to set up for the field goal it'll be a 41-yard attempt at the 31 merkins holding morton anderson gets it off and it is good and that was the first overtime victory in the new orleans franchise history 34-31 it was wild all afternoon long other finals now baltimore and buffalo they shoot it out perhaps the bills are for real under k stevenson 28-23 but the colts did score a touchdown against that bill defense and the defending super bowl champion washington redskins gave 12 points to the kansas city chiefs and their new coach john makovic and then came storm and back nick lowery with an afc record 58-yard field goal and that put the chiefs ahead by three now joe theismann was having all kinds of problems against makovic's defense but finally it was big john riggins who barreled in in the second half and that got the redskins back in control of the football game and from there seismic put up this pass tip and warren has got it for the touchdown and the redskins win it the final again was 27 to 12. san francisco and st louis and yes the 49ers appear to be back certainly joe montana is on the day 20 of 32 for 341 yards and three touchdowns including this one freddy saturn makes it look easy a 69-yard touchdown pass the old guy could still run brett the final again was 42-27 pittsburgh and houston franco harris had another 100-yard game for the steelers that is the 44th of his fabulous career and now the oilers have lost 10 games in a row they have not won a game since the strike ended atlanta and detroit shoot it out atlanta wins for the first time in the motor city 30 to 14 over the lions and finally the rams and the packers slug it out before the packers pull it out 27-24 against john robinson whose rams made a brilliant second half comeback watch lynn dickey ninth touchdown pass of the season to john jefferson lofton had four catches but no touchdowns vince ferragamo then going to the corner of the end zone and it was otis grant but then for bart starr he has got a man who can block field goals his name is gary lewis gary how do you do it that was your fourth a lot has to do with the uh with my front defensive line you know without them i'm just average if they didn't give me that um extra one or two yards as far as penetration then uh my job would only be average that saved the game then with 33 seconds to go eric dickerson coughed it up the packers recovered they ran the clock down to one second and john stenerud came on and hit this 27-yard field goal and the packers have pulled it out against the rams 27 to 24. now of course there are several games that are still working the philadelphia eagles they lead the denver broncos in the second quarter seven to nothing is the score there john elway the starter but as you can see no touchdowns yet chuck knox apparently has turned the seahawks around they lead the san diego chargers 17-7 they are in the second quarter there minnesota over tampa bay 13-6 tommy kramer has been knocked out of the game steve dills is quarterbacking the vikings tommy will not return because of an injured knee obviously it will be x-rayed in the game you're enjoying the dallas cowboys have taken a 14-3 lead over the new york giants and irv and i will continue after these messages beating the new york jets by 10 points i just can't believe it it's hard for all of us to believe because the jets have a solid football team and now they're down one and two well here's one of the reasons why tony collins exploded for 210 yards and three touchdowns he scored on runs of 38 6 and 23 and they were high fiving from the beginning to the end up there in foxborough this afternoon now with time running out in the first half richard todd pulled the jets to within three missed the extra point now pat leahy is injured they've got a kicking problem so joel walton has his work cut out now but the big man again was tony collins here he is on the draw and the patriots hand the jets their second straight defeat and of course don't forget that next week one of our key double-header games here at four o'clock eastern team new york giants three things really turned around at the end of the frame look at this well you know as we look at it by quarters the first quarter was a giant look total yards 108 time of possession over 10 minutes look what happened when they went to the second quarter they only had six minutes of time of possession the cowboys had eight but look at those first down in the second quarter the giants only had one first down cowboys had nine the way the giants approached things the first quarter was textbook the second quarter was ali sheik about ready to kick off the giants trailing the cowboys 14-3 with another half to go some of the problems i think that we had at the beginning of the game when it was so hot and so humid have disappeared clouds have made an appearance and it's not that bad [Music] the straight line cowboys they call him now there goes the penalty marker down which we'll check on in a minute yesterday was picture day here at texas stadium and the cowboys looked like a christmas card don't they that's a perfect picture then it was over and they said okay be yourselves guys and this is the cowboys being themselves [Applause] it they still do have a little nonsense they're not just mechanical men they do move they do talk they do have fun they do laugh face mask fall number 52 kicking team first down first down giants there is phil sims over on a giant sideline doing a little loosening up he was the starter he is not anymore throwing to in the first half but then came back second and six pearson is the wide receiver they go with two tight ends on the left billy joe dupree on the right set tripped up after about a yard his best day so they've shut him down but the cowboys have so many folks shut them all down from the shotgun the giants but because they had the hurry on he couldn't get it there white's string of eight in a row that's the first time he's missed the cowboys made their move warren john warren back to kate beasley reece back deep into the giants [Music] of course if it's against the cowboys it'll be the giants ball right there and it was against the cowboys flowers as the man who made the rush i'll tell you that flowers is some special teams guy watch he comes from the outside to the left he just sprints he's not locked he takes a great angle right there to block a punt you don't run at the punter you run to a point five yards in front of the punter this guy has made some big big plays football game right now as they take over first and ten at the dallas 31. it is still scott brunner's quarterback ernest gray wide to the left they go with an odd looking offensive center he goes in motion and parker gets catch and muddled he was in motion they put the penalty marker down he was illegally in motion i should say that's probably that same thing when someone goes in motion they can't go forward and tell the ball snap i think that's the second time that melody was going forward melody comes off now and mistler comes in parcells will meet him on the sideline [Music] perhaps [Music] [Applause] are the new york giants 28 yard pickup this giant offensive line is doing a pretty good job of pass protection you see hard there on white getting help with umphrey in the center and then that gave bruner time to find willfolk down the left sideline let's watch white now 54 randy white you see art get his hands up on him look here comes the center humphrey [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you saw that record for landry he's the third winningest coach [Music] [Applause] the giant scoring drive after the block punt by flowers gave them the first first down at the dallas 31 that's how far they went to make this game 14-10 in favor of dallas ali sheikh will kick off [Music] [Music] here's the touchdown again let's watch it again i formation watch carpenter 26. he's a lead block just hurled his body right there dexter twink scale came from the outside to make the tackle too late and he was also called for being offsides giants have a man hurt on the kickoff not sure here's white on first down ducks one tackler jim burt but curtis mcgriff takes him down there's mclaughlin over on the bench because you're not only blocked by someone facing you you get those angles where people come in put the sides on you all the time you can't always see them coming that is a very difficult way to make a living on a special team [Music] drew pearson's put that wide to the right doug donnelly to the left [Music] the door said he's [Applause] a fine block from ron springs on byron hunt who's playing the left outside linebacker springs lead and he came out and he hooked hunt and that let dorsett get to the outside richards and kurt peterson both got out in front as well as that good block by ron springs they remain the two runners first down dallas at their own 31. white will throw on first down quickly village midfield pete shaw put him down yeah the cowboys had two receivers butch johnson billy joe duprie who hadn't caught a pass this year here we'll see dupreeh he's a tight end the inside guy we lose him there for a second he just runs a little out on the linebacker brian kelly it was a good see by by the quarterback danny white you know being able to find him that's why you like those big tall tight ends you can always kind of find them in that middle there this time pearson and donnelly both come wide to the right and cosby goes left quick dorsett bangs to the mid 45 the hardison job in there you know easy nose tackle he has to take on that center tom rafferty stays solid in the middle i think he's doing a pretty good job the giants of course have lost bill neal they're starting nose tackle but jim burt does a good job in there tough little guy it'll be second and six the word on tony hill there's jim verge word on tony hill by the way is that his x-rays they took x-rays on his heart they were negative but he won't be back let's run down while we have just a second some other scores seattle 17 san diego 10 chuck ducks has the seahawks flying 347 minnesota 13 tampa bay six as tommy kramer was hurt earlier in the day you saw that philadelphia seven denver nothing third quarter score right here at 14 dallas over the giants and it's third down four dallas at the giant 44-yard line white drops the throw [Applause] just got a bigger jersey that's his fifth reception of the day i'll tell you that drew pearson's a real pro is that you know one thing when something like that happens you can't react to it the dumbest thing you can do is throw the ball at the guy or take a swing at him now watch pearson he'll be out here he started in it was the same one that butch johnson had run started in saw the coverage from the inside and then ran back to the outside but the thing that's impressed me is that mark haynes did that little jerk on him and he didn't even wreck just walked away from springs this time the lone setback pearson in motion handoff springs he's hit in the backfield and knocked backwards by harry carson [Applause] lucky he didn't miss the handoff it looked like he darn near did it look like they had a little problem with the handoff let's just watch it again we'll see the motion here now there's only one back in the backfield now watch 53 carson see the guard pulls and he runs right through that hole vacated by the right guard and he hit ron springs as soon as he looked up he's lucky he didn't fumble that one as you say second down 13 805 left to play third quarter dallas 14 giants 10. dallas at the giant 36. white [Applause] nobody blocked him he did his job that's the first sack that the giants have had today it's interesting byron hunt is playing for brad van pelt and i don't think van pelt's injured watch him he'll come from the left side it looks like the the back turns in and they double team martin and no one blocks byron hunt van pelt got hit in the head early in the first half and all the lights are not back on yet that's why byron hunts play third and 22. [Applause] shotgun giants ripped [Applause] and byron hut's again upset byron as we said earlier played here collegiately for smu what did i i'll do you that's one of the things that upsets tom landry that delay of the game they had trouble with it last week in st louis it's the first time they had trouble with it today delayed game number 11 offense third down penalty call against the quarterback danny white nick nolan and tom landry over discussing why it took so long they've been together a long time of course when you call plays you like to get the play in and get the team up to the line of scrimmage with more than 10 seconds remaining third and 27 it's time to take the headset off sailing 21 left to play third quarter from the chakras [Applause] that was a heck of a reaction by jerome sally now this is a middle screen most screens go to the outside now watch this they let the guys come in the middle there's springs he fakes the block then he has his center and guards right in front of him and here they come down the field and jerome sally chased him and caught him from behind if he doesn't they might indeed be in field goal range or maybe closer at least field goal range warren standing at his own 48 his last one was almost blocked deflected and set up the giant's only touchdown warren before the sidelines easily respect penalty market down pounds inside the five good kick now let's see what the penalty is the giants are indicating it's against dallas and they're right two years he was a backup kicker but he kicked inside but they would put him in and he was a specialist for punting inside the 50 which they call a pooch punt he was a poocher at tennessee that's even hard to say and then culkwood was a punter right warren was a poocher he's gonna have the chance to put it now forget about the pooch ain't it and bill bates is right there a teammate of warrens at tennessee 35-yard puck no return 14-10 at texas stadium cowboys leave the giants and bruner throws from his own end zone giants have some breathing room and a first down now let's go for another nfl update to our new york studio and brent musberger pat the 5 million man is a marked man john elway of the denver broncos just took a wicked forearm to the helmet delivered by wes hopkins of the philadelphia eagles it knocked elway's head gear completely off he stayed in the game now let's go back to john madden and pass summerhall well the most encouraging thing is to know that railway is okay [Music] [Applause] close to a first down before dexter klinksgale makes the stop 14 10. certainly not out of the contest in any way you know one thing the giants are doing a little different in this game and i i kind of like it i'm sure butch woolfolk likes it in the first two games they were sweeping him all the time having him run right and left trying to get around the end they weren't successful now today his plays are inside you know right into the line and out of the line quickly second down on one let's see what bruner does he got the one and that's about all john dutton who's the cowboy who made the tackle maybe he didn't quite make it yes he did i think carpenter's one of those guys if you really have to work you have to give him the ball give him the ball give him the ball mark van eagan used to be that way for me he was a better player when he was tired and after his first 15 carries he would start to run like a real fullback those first 15 he was never as good he had too much nervousness a lot of golfers like that they get nervous early they don't play well till they get tired [Music] ernest gray got it [Applause] [Music] 56-yard pickup i'll tell you that was a great throw and a great catch because ernest gray was double team he was double-teamed by dennis thurman and everson wall watch him here we'll see it at the end they have him inside out and he outruns both of them you see that he gets five both of them perfect throw right over his right shoulder and he's finally tackled by walls that's throwing deep into double coverage look a little play pass brave beats two guys watch he runs right between him look at that throw right up over the outside shoulder perfect pass good pattern first down giants just outside the cowboy can bruner is gonna go for the best [Applause] danny pittman just didn't beat him that's what you look for down here but watch this see he's looking to pit me he's looking like a wall she's right there with him gets a hand in there that left hand in there at the middle at the end you're not going to beat that guy a heck of a lot of them 168 yards picked up at second down [Applause] and he'll try one more time [Applause] [Music] didn't see it coming that was one of those plays that the washington redskins started where they moved the pocket it's not a row but they bring their linemen watch he's going to move to the right here's 54. danny white will catch him from behind he starts on a stunt look he goes all the way outside and he's going to come all the way around look at pruner he's looking waiting waiting too long here comes randy white oh what have to give harvey martin a little credit too because he occupied two blockers he did he grabbed the two blockers so randy white could go around them so it's third down that's wolf hook in motion back pedals and fires over the head ernest gray runs back there with him the cowboy defense is equal [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here they got good field position they took three shots at it they just didn't beat anyone look here he has pretty good protection you see the ball coming right to grade but we'll also see right with fray is ron fellowes number 27. good coverage now the ball was a little high too but he was still the coverage was so good you're not going to complete that anyway ali [Applause] brings the giants to within one stadium 14-13 cowboys lead the giants a lot of time left third quarter [Music] the scoring drive by the giants that brought them to within one eight plays 81 yards that big five pass from bruner to ernest gray 56 yards and hodgy sheik added the 27-yard field goal it's 14-13 [Applause] melvin the attendant on the train was right well melvin says in the second half he pulls plays from up his sleeve no one else knows about [Applause] reverse coming drew pearson has blockers in front but not enough harry carson made the stop more about how he plays those reverses in a minute but right now let's go back to new york studio and brent mussberger that this is a different kind of an update but australia ii has won her first race in the americas cup competition liberty of the united states of course won the first two yesterday was a washout so tomorrow they have scheduled the fourth leg and again australia the second wins and wins easily today now let's go back to pat and john they're going to measure and see if drew pearson picked up a first down on that reverse drew pearson was shaken up a little bit i think he was remember bill parcells was telling us yesterday that harry carson is the best linebacker he's ever seen against a reverse he said he never gets fooled and he always makes a play in the reverse and he was a guy made to tackle and it's not something that you teach it is instinct he says usually the guy that you teach and reads all his keys will usually be fooled by a reverse but the guy with great instinct won't because he starts going one way sees it just runs back the other way attacking it was the first down and the cowboys move out to their own 29. got one good drew pearson put a block on bill courier that uh he'll recall for a while it looked more like a flying leap you know like one of those things they do in professional wrestling where they get up on the ring and jump off at the guy watches springs it's a little play pass springs is a first back out here in the flat white sees him hits him here now watch drew pearson come up now watch his block that he makes right here boom he just throws it like he's coming off the rope like big time wrestling or something yeah they jump up oh boom they jump on second and one 19 out of 23 for danny weiss that was that leap must have a name first down midfield terry jackson knocked him out of bounds look at that in the giant sideline you know we've talked about this before every stadium in a national football league has to have an x-ray machine on the premises so they can take a player in x-ray that player look at him right down i think i think the x-rays were on joe mclaughlin on that play yeah i think that's who it is 52 there he is and the guy saying we just saw the pictures of it and that's what you got and he's saying yeah okay [Applause] first down cowboys crosby started in partly should motion open lawrence taylor now there is instinct lawrence taylor almost made the interception cosby was the intended receiver and let's just you know john just watched that play because he was fooled now watch taylor will start out you see he starts inside he thinks it's playfast he said oh i got to cover that guy there he goes he puts his hand out there and he backs up and gets in position for an interception the ball goes right through his hands and he bends it with his right hand cosby's pointing at him saying interference it wasn't interference he took a grab i don't think he caught him you can take a grab as long as you don't grab second and ten white gives the dorset tripped up in the backfield by bill currier who has hurt himself now he walks on tries to walks back into the huddle now but he's limping you know bill courier is a strong safety and a strong safety is a guy on the strong side who lines up on the tight end and has to force the run support he's the outside guy in the suite courier got up he got judging 2.9 against the giants it's not offended today shotgun time with a minute 55 left third quarter the giants put the pressure on donnelly will have the first down haines makes the stop but he got it i think mark gaines was playing a little too deep third and ten you can't let that guy catch that 11-yard hook in front of you i think you have to play him a little tighter than this we'll see it right here you see he gets there but he gets there too late let's see if we can watch it from this camera now here's the coach's camera now see you see how deep he is and then he lets he lets donnelly drive him off now watch when he hooks right at 11 yards haynes isn't in position to do anything about it finally picked up just enough to get that first down why is it four catches for him here's dorsett [Applause] [Applause] now watch right there looks like hardison oh it was sally put his helmet right on the ball the ball popped out and here comes hardison he made their coverage the guy that makes the hit is jerome sally 78. watch right there it was curtis mcgriff excuse me then someone else came in and then hardison gets it giants ball first down minute to go third quarter in the nfl first down [Applause] one minute left third quarter rob carpenter got maybe two yards bob brunick following the carpenter as the giants expected made to stop let's go back and look at that first down play selection again for the giants 16 rushes three passes of course that was their plan and they're sticking with the plan now with the score of 14 to 13 only down by one they can go back to that plan that makes sense again well i remember what tom landry said yesterday they've got good defense they've got a good kicking game they're going to be in every game and they're very much in this one sooner outside caught by mistler right at midfield you know one point that i i think has to be made here is that of the cowboy defensive line randy white's the only guy that really made a play today and this giant offense has done a pretty good job now let's watch uh brad benson here on harvey martin 79 look you catch him right there he goes the arm over put those hands up keep him right there in the line the old double thing there that's nice pass protection but you haven't heard from and a couple of times from john nothing but john dutton but not as a pass rusher 14-13 at the end of three we are an explorer a farmer a miner and an insurance company we're a pipeline a cross line [Applause] a gold mine and a leasing company where a building a printer a logger [Applause] and an energy company we are more than 41 000 men and women working in 18 different industries all across america sold out for the match between the cowboys and the giants and nobody is disappointed 14-13 dallas leading third and four [Applause] should be offensive pass interference as well but melody was in motion again danny pittman caught the pass see we can watch danny pittman out here in the outside 82. it looks at right there at the end like he pushed yeah he did with his left hand number 81 offense third down you know the officials didn't call that though no he called that a legal catch but they did have 81 tom mullady for illegal motion i think that's the third time he's done that today i think by now he would have made that mistake enough to get that one straightened out work on some new ones you'll send somebody else in motion third and nine dallas showing blitz and here they come in penalty market down is ernest gray comes up with a catch and everybody threw a play maybe one of those things where we're going to have a couple penalties on this one [Music] look they're trying to see what that second penalty is that's one thing about the dallas cowboy defense they're blitzing more and more a lot of those secondary guys come pushing off offensively no that happened on the last play no you missed that last play not this one let's watch the blitz there's michael downs number 26 dexter clinch scales 47. they get right up there camp field didn't get downs blocked here's jerry martin pass interference number 81 offense penalty decline that's on mobility again holding number 35 offense is accepted third down still third down 35 was billy canfield he was the guy that was trying to block michael downes right at the feet of scott bruner downs got there just too quickly and he couldn't find another dave jennings over on the sideline he thinks there's a possibility he might have to punch 14 50 left third quarter [Music] [Applause] [Music] feel knocked out of bounds by anthony dickerson short of the first down and jennings will have a chance to do his job and while we wait for jennings to come along let's go to brent busberger in new pat york down for john elway and the broncos they're on the eagles 25 elway pulls out he wants steve watson in the corner and look out here comes herman edwards who intercepts and the woes mount for elway let's go back now to pat and john i guess john elway brent had a tough tough time in baltimore last week and not what you'd call a really outstanding welcome home i've always felt stupid should play it i've always felt the best way for a quarterback to learn the nfl was on the bench jennings aiming for out of bounds and got it there he's done a good job he knows it we'll return to texas stadium after this word from you put the cowboys in the hole they lead by one point that's why that third down run by campfield was so big it was 13 yards but that put jennings in position to be able to do that double tight end set up for dallas pearson in motion handoff inside springs outside the five to about the seventh giants had it diagnosed pretty well as byron hunt made the stop let's see if we can watch byron here he is he's the left outside linebacker he'll be lined up on the tight end you see he takes on the tight end sees the ball to the inside takes on cosby comes right down the line to make the play there's a guy who doesn't start but who is an outstanding player i'll tell you there's a lot of teams in the nfl that would like to have him i think he's one of the most popular trade based giants at but they won't give him up shoe off outside the 10 that you've got a first down i'm not sure cosby did yeah the ball's a little short i think i think i've seen more shoes lost today in this game than any other nfl game that i can remember first down dallas a little bit room to maneuver 14-13 the cowboys leave and they shuttle those guards that's herbert scott coming in white is 22 out of 27 for 222 yards yet they only have 14 points first every every play is called with the guards either herbert scarred or howard richards they alternate on every play bringing into play from tom lambert they are using cosby as a wide receiver now but stanley and pearson both [Applause] terry jackson and drew pearson are still talking about it i'll tell you though that's what you get from hustling you know that's not a bad penalty drew pearson gets none of them are good but at least the guy's all over the field when he catches it that's great but he's out there blocking for the other guy trying to spring them and that's the way you get big plays when your wide receivers make a block and then sometimes you're going to get a clip and you have to take those things you know tom landry was saying to us yesterday that this is the best he's seen drew pearson in a long time let's watch it now let's watch it we'll be at the bottom of the picture right there you see it is he he came in and got terry jackson right from behind i used to always say if you can read their names clipping number eight eight offense first down but i wonder if that change in his approach to playing drew pearson i'm talking about that has to do with with the fact that he was elected along with danny white and brunig and ron fellows to be the captain i think that has something to do with it i think another thing is money his contract runs out this year he said he's going to retire unless they give him the type of money that he deserves courier came from the outside and made the initial hit second sack on danny white putting some pressure on that was one that you don't expect that was a strong safety courier will see him from the outside you see white starts he play fakes and here comes courier from the outside number 29. white didn't have anyone open good coverage downfield and he had a weight hold the ball and courier got there nobody to block it second and 21. ball is back at the four [Applause] and the squeeze is starting to come on swings to the outside cuts back inside terry jackson made a good play to bring him down [Applause] you can hold dorsett down a little but you're not going to hold him down a lot that was a great move that he made there he started to the inside held the whole defense and then bounced outside to the left look at the way he walks back to the huddle like he's never going to get there there's a block by peterson you see he drew the defense in he started up inside and he was able to bounce the outside there's doc doug donnelly rolling along he didn't get jackson dorset really limping off he's in pain now third and five not sure why they stopped it well that 32nd clock is down to two maybe the cowboys took a timeout because they were going to get a penalty i think they stopped it for dorsett who has a cramp i think but now here's an interesting thing see the 32nd clock is at 2 1-0 that's a penalty referee doesn't see it now he's starting it again are you gonna restart it yeah he just started it again well that doesn't seem quite right i don't think so i don't think you can run it down to two and then start it over again right this time has time cosby got tangled up with andy hedden penalty marker down they're gonna be holding they'll be called for holding i doubt the giants will accept [Applause] let's see if we can see the rush and see where the holding is that can be a number of guys right there it looks like howard richards had his left hand there's a takedown right there i think that's the right tackle jim cooper holding number 61 offense declined fourth down that's who they caught jim cooper for the old take down three points i don't know i thought it was a cramp i'm not sure they usually rub a cramp that one didn't look like a cramp in that case that's a new term i've never heard that tom winston told us that it always said how's your punter john warren he said he's good he keeps you optimistic kicks great in practice he said but he'll follow one off on you once in a while he'll foul that one 25 yards and that puts the giants in pretty good shape boy 45-yard line first to 10. seattle 27 san diego 10. hello chuck knox mistler comes in [Music] [Applause] had him surrounded but he scrambled for about four before everson walls took him down minnesota 13 tampa bay nine now fourth quarter in philadelphia ten denver three fourth quarter [Applause] giants one and one the giants with a chance to get even with the cowboys second and eight bruner 10 out of 18. one interception by walls which was a big one that set up the cowboys second touchdown just before the end of the first half to throw under practice john dutton takes him down first i think that's one of those facts that you credit the secondary with because bruner was looking and waiting as we watch it again the i formation makes a little play fake here now watch he has to wait he has no one open he's waiting waiting and he waits too long and by that time john dutton gets around jt turner dutton probably playing better now this year at this point than he ever has since he's been a cowboy sack this is by bill tell you there's bates tough guy he's a free agent from tennessee he's going to come in a blitz you're watching here's number four and he comes we see the tackle going inside too tall outside bates goes right between them no one picks them up scott bruner didn't have a chance [Music] bates is one of those guys who just hurts you by being close by jennings doesn't catch all of this [Applause] [Music] 38-yard punt this time by jennings six yards return dave not happy with that door set not happy with his situation at the moment dallas on top by one chevrolet's new celebrity left to play cowboys 14 giants 13. [Music] the 24-yard line of dallas [Music] a home opener for the cowboys this year they won three on the road in washington and st louis they're 2-0 giants 101. newsome in the backfield now as springs as dorset well we'll just have to find out what happened to him [Music] it's back to newsroom [Applause] now let's go back to the first half giants leading three nothing third and four for dallas of course you know if the score ends up 14 to 13 they're always going to talk about this play here it is doug cosby he's in the air now the rule says that he has to come down with the ball and both feet now watch his left foot hits the ball pops out that was an illegal touchdown and of course if the score ends up like this 14 to 13 they're going to talk about that play all week and maybe the rest of the year whatever happened outside spring he i'm sorry timmy newsome hit by terry jackson you wonder why terry jackson is making the tackle on a running back in the flat and the reason is it's a zone defense and terry jackson is the right corner out here he is rotating up and he has that outside flat we'll see the pass protection there good time for white and there's terry jackson you see he's the short man so he's right there when timmy newsom catches the ball but there is a penalty marker down there's dick nolan and tom landry number 36 defense automatic first down holding against mark haynes automatic first down dallas they'll move the chains herbert scott comes in with a play for danny white that was one of those things away from the action mark haynes of course lines up as a left corner and all the action was over here on the other side it's a first down automatic first down with exactly nine minutes left to play white 23 out of 29 now [Music] there's some barrels up for about four well let's go to brent mussberger in our new york studio for an update half the buccaneers new quarterback jack thompson through this five yard touchdown pass to james wilder and the bucketeers now lead the bikes were without tommy kramer 16-13 let's go back to pat and josh here at texas stadium granite's 14-13 dallas cowboys over the giants dallas with the ball first or second down i'm sorry second and five at their own thirty five [Music] newsome springs the runners dorset has been sidelined [Music] let's watch lawrence taylor here 56 on the rush now watch the different ways that he's getting blocked he's bumped there by the left tackle pat donovan who just drives him right in the middle but he keeps going after danny white you know the days of lawrence taylor being blocked by a running back are over never going to happen again by anybody who plays against him or this team they're going to put a big man or two big man on it that's the kind of dictation he furnishes he makes you make changes for him [Applause] [Music] [Applause] danny white came dashing you know why danny white makes the tackle he's the guy that threw the ball he's the one that's the most upset about it watch him he's right there he throws it into a crowd flowers just comes up makes the play and here he goes up the sideline now watch number 11. he bounces right back up to him that's a little lucky break here comes danny white right there nice tag it looked like a linebacker his left shoulder though 14 13 but the giants move back in good shape shape at the moment although they do trail by one point landry [Applause] home [Music] [Applause] reacted quickly along with mike hegman [Applause] range in this kind of game that take you out of the field goal range that's what happened with giants in the first game against the rams remember every time they'd get something going they'd have that penalty but i would think now is the time you have a fullback like rob carpenter you've done enough of the misdirection get back just hand the ball illegal use of the hands number 68 offense first down but now this situation dictates that maybe you can't do that i would i think the the best thing that cowboys do is get in that four-man rush with six defensive backs and you want to stay away from that oh it's first and twenty they don't have their six defensive backs now it's a regular defensive set up as bruning calls what he thinks should happen well here's wolf hook again he gets back to the outside and look out he's still on his feet but down to the 35-yard line he got him back in range 14-yard pickup i think that was a real smart call i think had they started their first down at 20 and start throwing and they're blitzing and getting sacked and stuff they just keep getting in more trouble and more trouble here a little draw a delay to wolf folk makes a nice cuts here on prunic middle linebacker was keying him and cuts all the way across the field back up and picks up 14 yards 12 carries for 58 yards [Applause] by far his best game this year second and six now they're doing exactly what you said except michael downs and company with a big assist from two tall jones knock him backwards that's right the giants didn't get any movement on that right side and the cowboys got penetration and there was nowhere for butch well folk to go let's watch it here now watch what happens on this side here you see too tall takes on king there's no penetration there the corner comes up from the outside and the safety's up there they had everyone up there was no place for wolf hulk to go loss of three make it 39 6 38 left to play [Applause] dismissed motion it's picked off dexter could go should go we'll go thickness anthony dickerson came on the blitz and leveled bruner and brenner is still down and quickscale went the distance something we're just talking about the thing that the cowboys do best is get you in that long yardage bring that glitch anthony dickerson came from the right side he wasn't blocked he wasn't touched he just had a straight shot at pruner and pruner was thrown as he was being hit let's watch it here now we'll watch dickerson number 51. there he is on the right-hand side of the screen look he goes right between the guard and the tackle there's no one to block him he fires right in on pruner right as he throws the ball and of course flinkscale makes the interception but he just the ball was thrown a little short and behind the camp field and he did it scott bruner seems to be okay he really had the heat on him dickerson all over him never had a [Applause] chance [Music] [Applause] [Music] on the sideline usually isn't going to play and conversely the guy that has it on is so i'm sure we'll see the phil stems for the first time this year in regular season cowboys 28 9 13 7. [Music] [Applause] would be hard to find fault with what he did well no i mean you have to block someone anthony dickerson just had a straight shot at him like he was projected out of a rocket or something and and you know he was trying to throw trying to get rid of it and he threw it a little to the outside dexter klingscale took it into the other end zone and what was a very close game turned into 28-13 phil sims looking back to the sidelines didn't have but 11 but 10 players out there danny pittman came in late mistler gave him the message as to what he's supposed to run sims is going to have to throw i wouldn't want to be an issue all over [Applause] john dutton is there complaining that someone held him on that plane i watch him he's the inside guy here he starts up on the guard on jt turner runs the stunt he loops to the outside and he's saying that someone grabbed him look at king's left hand on his pants someone did watch that and he turns around to who grabbed me from behind dirty guy that one gets a brief rest [Applause] the reception this is bill bates who lost his shoe this time seattle 34 san diego 17. does that surprise you it really does but of course seattle surprised me last week against the jets too there's a team is for real sims has to scramble smerrick and two tall jones take him down but there is a penalty marker down bay 16 minnesota 13. someone might win that division by default they usually do i think two of the cinderella teams this year you know it seems like every year we have a cinderella team offside number 72 defense first down last year of course was washington redskins a year before that it was the 49ers i think this year it could be a seattle or the los angeles rams that cinderella team you know that no one is really thinking about and you'll see them both next week part of our double header here on cbs [Applause] receiver the defense for the cowboys risen let's watch it again here now sims does have pretty good protection good blocking he has time he's looking looking now he has to run out here to the right a little throws on the run and he doesn't get everything on it dennis thurman is underneath good position for the for the interception it's another remarkable guy not phil sims although he is talking with pat hodgson right there but dennis thurman they say he's playing out of position they say he's not big enough to do that job what he keeps doing [Music] i think the key word there you know talking about the defensive backs of the cowboys dennis thurman everson walls even michael downs is just confident those guys are all young guys they play like they've been in the league for 22 years and and they're just so confident that they don't know that they don't have great speed and those types of things they just keep coming up with big plays well that is such an important element in sports particularly i think as a defensive back second down 5 14 left the handoff newson just short of midfield stopped by lawrence taylor short of a first down by about a yard time remaining now five minutes these cowboys or something last night they stayed in a in a hotel for the first time in a decade or something and tom andrew was saying you know he said i'm making all those changes just to get out of a groove we've been in a groove and i want to get out of that he said i'd like to see these guys get mad at me and maybe they'll be mad on the over until the next field newsom trying for the first hand may or may not i don't think so mark haynes made the hit he's about a foot shy a new score seattle 34 san diego 24. warren comes on for the cowboys you and i were talking yesterday in between one of our many trips around the dallas fort worth area john warren has done a good job today as the pointer for the cowboys but the element of not having danny white back there is a big difference you know it might really come back to haunt him during the season sometimes because the thing that danny white got so many big plays running with the ball not so many first downs where he'd just take off and run warren hangs it up there [Music] [Applause] pete shaw but new house down under the punt again one thing about these cowboys they'll put their starting players on a here's new house coming down making the play right there on beasley reese there's dickerson he's a starting right linebacker he likes that action look face mask punch hold on get the left left underneath counter it's hard to fight with somebody holding your face mask looks like boom boom against bang bang that'll be on cbs sports saturday next week i always wanted that fight you know they they were supposed to fight one time and boom boom hurt his shoulder so the fight was canceled now he's fighting other guys but uh i'd always love to see that boom boom against bang bang in fact i'd like to be the guy yo boom bang boom personal stuff number 44 on the receiving team number 58 on the kicking team we have an illegal block on the receiving team all fouls after possession change first down at the dead ball spot holy cow you may not see 60 minutes in his entirety he's still talking he has some more to say yeah there had to be that's a lot of stuff that was probably some flags and some hats and some bean bags on the ground and that's all that stuff i'm surprised we didn't see another shoe on that i wonder what they one you know they throw their flag first or if they see another one they throw their hat they see a third one they throw the bean bag i wonder what they do if they had a fourth penalty palmer this is outside the 30 to about the 33 bill baits on a tackle [Music] [Applause] the giant turnovers have been uh not profitable no issue with the cowboys the miscue is an interception the result was a touchdown interception touchdown fumble touchdown interception they finally had to punt penalty flag down now you know that's the most important statistic it's not always turnovers i think ratio of turnover is important and the other thing is what you do with the turnover after you get it you get a turnover and then if you have to punt it didn't mean anything holding number 68 offense first down 308 left to play the giants trailing the cowboys 28-13 everybody both teams have all their timeouts remaining [Music] [Applause] [Music] first [Applause] university of tennessee biggest claim to fame in college was that herschel walker ran over him on his first touchdown he ever scored at georgia comes here not drafted signs of free agent makes a team that's a bill based right [Music] oh yeah he'll drive a pickup he's a good old boy yeah he really is but you love to see those type of guys you know make it they yeah i mean you know the guys are drafted in the first second round they get the big bonuses they have agents they have all this stuff here's the guy who comes in cleats hanging over his shoulder you know probably a baseball cap on rare tennis shoes james cowboy he'll watch him makes the team [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] trips up in dallas territory the season premiere of 60 minutes will be seen in its entirety following football except on the west coast where it'll be seen at its regular time [Applause] [Music] from sims broken up by dickerson and dexter clinton let's see what happened to tony dorsett if we can figure out it's right knee looks like it could be just below the right knee a sprain we understand well what they do is of course they try and get that ice on it immediately with the pressure so that he doesn't get a lot of swelling in the knee and then they'll evaluate that after the game he doesn't really seem that concerned about it phil sims will make a visit to the sideline 207 left to play in this football game cowboys 28 giants 13. pat summerall and john madden at texas stadium where the cowboys lead the giants 28-13 in a game really has a very misleading score philadelphia 10 denver 10. that's not misleading [Music] minnesota 16 tampa bay 16. everybody playing to a draw today yeah a lot of ties the rams were tied with green bay until right there at the end today when john stenerood made the field gold and these guys are all tied up but here it looked like a sudden the dallas defense created two turnovers and they leave 28-13 here's bill simms merrick puts the heat on him they say that sims was down or in the grass that's the in the grasp rule the referee blew the whistle before the ball was thrown so he was real now watch this now they did this a few years ago to protect the quarterbacks i think it's a smart rule if they have them in the grasp if the defensive guy has them look like right there see they say right there he's in the grass the referee blows a whistle calls it dead so that you don't get all those guys jumping on them once they have them who put the heat on sims the cowboys have their backup group in the defensive line now they have their number henry says is going to be a player but not quite ready yet the rest of the back backups sims talking with hodgson for an update let's go to brent musberger that here is john elway's first touchdown pass in the nfl 33 yards to rick paris there is now about a minute and a half to go in denver and they are tied at 10. let's go back to pat and john [Music] here we have two minutes with dallas leading the new york giants 28-13 [Music] 68-yard return with an interception by dexter klinksgale and then a fumble on the ensuing kickoff which was caught by a hit by robert newhouse and michael downes picked it up and scored turn what was a very close game into a game that uh has left the cowboys relaxed just a little bit this is one of those tie games we're talking about tight at 16 in overtime well that's another one of those john that we've all been talked about that tampa bay minnesota tie where the extra point that they miss the buccaneers comes back to haunt you most of the time it does [Applause] that's uh another tech schramm the president of the cowboys invention that c on his left shoulder that's the captain [Music] [Applause] receiver but wall is right in perfect position let's watch the blocking inside here the cowboys now they fake the blitz you see watch it watch art there he has he has a hole to the right shoulder and then he got used to that got tired of that held left shoulder and then pushed him off at the end that's a form of pass protection i was fighting for your life watching smerrick's move that last time watching him foil his arms he does that with us to get those other guys arms off of you well they can't hit slap anymore sins under pressure has to come out of the pocket jennifer pittman he can't hang the first thing of course they can't head slap so they start slapping at the shoulders you see they grab the shoulder there arm over grab the other shoulder try another arm over double team pushed around things happen to those guys in the pits of that password yeah he's saying why me i shouldn't draw all that attention you know i played in the nfl for 10 years and i every time i see something like that i wonder you know why did i ever do that why was that my choice in life yo but they don't even know it until they watch it on the films the next day right they'll wake up tomorrow they have a tough time getting out of bed and they said i wonder why that hurts when they see them and say now i know and then two days later they go to the orthopedic surgeon white throws back to newsen yeah one of the interesting things that's going to come out of this game is whether or not the controversy of the quarterback the starting quarterback in new york will start up again now i wonder if by putting in phil sims taking out scott bruner i wonder if that means that it's going to be opened or if bruner is still the starter well i personally i think that bill parcells as you said before if they just give him time or if he just does get to him not that they that he's going to be one of the outstanding coaches i think he'll stay with brunner i do too but uh i bet that'll be a topic of conversation in the newspaper ron springs gets the carry and spins around for a couple brad van pelt made the stop less than a minute now 48 seconds in fact left to play [Music] [Music] field technical manager walter pyle the broadcast associate scott johnson bob brown the technical director of bob siderman responsible for the noise you've heard not necessarily just from us [Music] there's a little sign of acknowledgement score by halves look at this and this is what the cowboys have done 36-34 at the half 59-24 when it's all over what melvin says tom landry has plays up his sleeve he only uses him in the second half downfield pump fakes penalty marker down white just strolling around finally i don't know if that's a penalty mark or not it may be an elbow brace or something but he did i believe finally go over the line of scrimmage when he let it go i think he did and i think there is a penalty marker and i think that's what jerry markbright is is calling right here illegal pat yeah that's what that means well the line of scrimmage was uh back at the bottom pass number 11 loss of down fourth down he threw from the 41. that's one of the tough penalties any game that you get you lose it you have the penalty and you lose the down here's danny weight today 24 out of 22 out of 34 24 out of 32 i'm sorry pretty good day it's got everybody up nobody back flag is thrown back at about the 45-yard line warren gets the ball out of bounds 33-yard front out of bounds at the 12 yard line illegal motion against the dallas cowboys so the giants obviously would make them do it again with 28 seconds left to play the ball back at the 45. 28 seconds left to play he put it back in the middle of a star formation you know another thing we were talking about yesterday maybe the viewers listeners are getting tired of hearing it but the cowboys seem to be a very vocal team and the players have a lot to say about what they disagree with i know they do you know they'll say after a game you know you know about officiating about players and the other team about coach landry but i think that the cowboys encourage that i think tom landry does i think he thinks that's okay want to get mad go ahead we're still going to do it that way my way again to the left this time fate dropped it back into the field and they recovered at the two-yard line scott mcqueen is down there with bates bates made a very athletic play i'll tell you he sure is a headsy player for a rookie you know last week he made the big interception against st louis we've seen him make big hits and here on special teams he makes a big play of course it's a little late here it doesn't mean that much but it's still the type of thing that you like to see young players do still he's hustling [Applause] while we have a chance that we may be changing through other games we may be throwing you to tampa or denver we'd just like to take so long from john maddie and pat somerow and the rest of it penalty marker down sims is tackled in the end zone that's a penalty on the giants in the end zone that's two points that would be a safety if there were giants holding well it's going to be against cowboys number 76 no safety no safety about playing on a regular basis lately he's also been making noises about going to the usfl with some of the other cowboys [Music] [Applause] should do it [Applause] well again we would like to say goodbye john madden and pat summerhall at texas stadium where the cowboys have defeated the giants 28-13
