ray washington gets set to cheer it up and kick it off and start this finale kenny duck at number 86 back deep for the cowboys looking into the sun and standing at about the two and washing hangs at high will be ducking at the seven [Applause] the cowboys got it back what a way to kick it off what a way to start it cowboys are lucky to maintain possession maybe that was being too relaxed that's what happens when you get that relax he bumped up boom [Applause] he got the handle on it just as he went down just in time carl pohl will start at one wide receiver in place of tony hill and gary hogaboom is the dallas quarterback mike renfro wide to the left and cole wide right it's door set brian newson gorset gets the carry and has some room going set out of the pack tony dorsett all the way up to the 29 yard line before dwight dick springs [Music] first down dallas their own 29. no is left rent for right this time okabooms fake down the middle cosby complete new quick first step the veteran group of hicks wright williamson and watch [Music] it and knock backwards by michael carter he goes now that worked for 15 yards but the sweep didn't work going the opposite direction from carter is not a bad idea carter again on a stop door set he picked up the two he lost to play before watch michael carter down here in the pits number 95 going against tom robert boom he just gets both those hands there look look how strong he is there's no way that you get any movement that he just gives that whip around that arm deal and pull right there in the halls macklemore and fuller have come into the 49er defense that gives him six defensive backs from the shotgun and here comes the blitz up the middle is the penalty markers down i don't think dorsett ever saw the ball coming the only flag was down usually when they go in that defense and bring in jeff fuller he usually blitzes he did on that one [Applause] wayne board i believe lined up offside that's the thing the guy can't you see here's board right here that looks like his head is over the ball he thinks you go right there see he lined up with his head up over the ball in the neutral zone they call that that gives the cowboys another down that'll make it third and five a san francisco 48. [Applause] [Music] winfrow for cosby inside the giants in a key touchdown drive here's hogaboom and they hit by board and by dean and silver yeah that was the old high low and right in the middle would be the next quarterback for dallas of course and he's the extra defensive back but the one thing that he did you know he was a coach and he coached and trained him cowboys at the 49ers 27. no score but dallas on the move quickly follower is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the pursuit got it michael walter was first out there dorsett gets a sort of gingerly a gain of one third and about a foot it looks like and hoga boom is back in the game the jets 37-10 over cleveland denver denver won 11 games and didn't make the playoffs first time that's ever happened that's newsom straight ahead ricky ellison was the first 49er and i believe he got the first down that was an interesting play pat the way they're going to block michael carter to get a double team watch what they did they're going to bring the the tight end in he comes in motion right here and he's going to come in and trap here on carter watch him here you'll see him oh it was the other side there you see the double team they get they brought the tight end in in motion that was fred cornwell and they double teamed with the center doug cosby thinks they got it i thought they got it and now the referee agrees he is hagerty he's listed at 285 but he's a little bit more than three here's garcette and he hammers down to about the eleven ronnie lott came up to hit him bill walsh it's been a long year for bill it's tough to defend but it's been an injury-prone year and an up and down [Music] hole in renfrew both wide right okabum sprints out fires heads back in on defense he got hurt in practice day before yesterday now he doesn't know the defense they're coming on a blitz and they're coming newsome [Applause] okay that's the guy that they're going to have to block today they're going to have to block steve fuller i mean uh uh jeff fuller he's coming right here you know and he comes in and just just as hogan boom gets rid of the ball he gets hit watch fuller right there coming through fray foamy hits him just as he throws the ball most of the time in that defense they do glitch jeff fuller first and goal from the three the cowboys with two tight ends penalty neutral zone [Music] as you said carlton williamson was the culprit well you usually think it's going to be a lineman or a linebacker but in that case it was a strong safety because when you get down to the goal line that strong safety is also up in the line of scrimmage [Applause] and it's touchdown cowboy and the other thing you like to give someone to pick the guy that has to cover you now he was so wide open there had to be a second wall raphael septiend for the extra point all kinds of jumps 12 plays the cowboys kept it the drive kept alive when playing board lined up offside on third and long we know we talked about how the cowboys are relaxed longevity and success that he usually is relaxed well he does the one thing that none of the rest of us could do is he doesn't worry about things he can't control he really doesn't offside defense we'll enforce on the kickoff two of those things he has mentioned he doesn't worry about are officials and injuries [Applause] [Music] and we'll see how he got so wide open here's cosby here keena turner has to cover him here now watch the man in motion he comes here he's going to pick in here cosby then comes free out here now watch watch crosby he's a tight end the motion man goes outside now watches the the motion man comes inside right there see right there he picks him and that allows pause me to get wide open um landry is gonna like what he sees along with his assistant jim shopkins will kick off joe mclemore and monroe and it's going to be carl monroe he took one all the way back against the redskins this one back to about the 19 a 10 yard return last game for veteran 49er receiver freddie solomon number 88 he was introduced last when the offensive unit of san francisco was introduced before the game he said a very distinguished career [Applause] [Music] you know for so many years freddy solomon has been the big play guy at a 49er yeah he's gotten just two super bowls and won two super bowls [Music] i wouldn't be surprised if they don't go to work to him right here they go the other way this is to keep them out of that 4-0 [Music] and for those of you who watch that victory by the pack welcome to candlestick park where the score is dallas seven san francisco another russ francis goes in motion and is going to put it up again [Applause] over the head of jerry victor rice colin gets the break gets the rest second down cowboy's expecting it to pass they give it a craig instead roger craig over the right side for about six stops [Music] this is their regular defense now montana hammered by jesse penn or most of us [Music] that should be enough for a first down michael downs tackled him the bears finish the season on a high note 37-17 over detroit finish their season also at 15-1 and those of you who watch that victory this is candlestick park dallas seven san francisco nothing but the 49ers on the move about a foot shy of a first down at the dallas 36. 49ers call this formation little angus now their regular angus is playing right guard so bill ring is a blocker and a little angus roger craig hammers over the right side perfect at summerhall and john madden at candlestick park in san francisco where the 49ers need a win to get into the playoffs redskins won yesterday in st louis and the giants will be the home team next week montana quickly out the rights rice can't shake one tackle that was by victor scott let's watch lockhart and see all the way and see his montana cosmetic now usually when he tries to escape he goes this way now watch what happens here the the cowboys know that they're going to try and flush them out then they're going to try and get containment up the field but see ed too tall jones doesn't get up lockhart is still chasing him he gives him a push at the end then montana came back and gave him his own push watch montana hey a left come back with a right hand third and about 12. pressure's on again and montana's hit again and the flag is down again anderson walls came down with the football tented for rice montana really took a shot i think that shot was by randy white andy white is the type of guy that will loosen a few of those teeth for you when he comes flying in there but that's what the 49ers want to do they think if they're going to blitz if they're going to pressure him then they have to pay for it by handling jerry rice first man-to-man well everson walls just did it with the interception that's wall's ninth interception of the year he leads the nfl trying to become the first player ever to do it three times everyone thinks that everson walls can't run but you don't very seldom see anyone get behind him and if there's ever a battle for the ball he usually comes down with it he has great hands down dallas the handoff is to newsom straight ahead and he gets only through second down and seven or call it eight they're at the seven pogba boom gets the door set he gets only a couple more of that carter again number 95 on the stop goes with three wide receivers now as gordon banks has come in and he stood out wide to the left along with renfro hoga boom in the end zone out of the shotgun look out for fred dean he missed hoga boom gets the ball to carl cole and they got some breathing room that was a shock it's back to newsom and newsom is hit right at the line of scrimmage by along with stover cowboys trying to go quickly before the 49ers get settled down and quickly they go to carl paul who's got some room he'll have another first door set looking [Music] he lunges for a couple todd shell made the stop [Applause] back to throw with time over incomplete carlton williamson broke it up or was the closest defender and to just complete the rundown of scores final there kansas city 38 san diego 34 green bay 20 tampa bay 17. i know it comes as good news and good music to your ears that don coryell will be back next year i'll tell you you know don coryell has done a heck of a job down there with that san diego offense and whoever he plays he gives fits to and i don't know anyone that could do a better job than he does he just needs a few more players third and seven pokemon out of the spread here come that 49er pogoboom gets away from it again but he did not get the first down he got up just to the line of scrimmage carlton williamson [Applause] he yeah the 49ers don't believe that hoga boom can run so what you try and do when you have that situation is you try and flip up the middle that's what the 49ers are doing they're coming here and here they're going to bring them right up here right up here okaboom feels it and is able to get out before he gets hit but this is the way you try and blitz a quarterback that you don't think can run right up the middle get right in his face make him put that ball down and he wisely put it down and he wisely got down mike saxon to put it down dana mcnamara back deep for san francisco [Applause] cowboys right on his face good coverage by all britain and bates they were the first ones there playoff picture first of all in the afc the wild card game will be the new england patriots at the new york jets and then the division will play off cleveland at miami and the wild card winner against the los angeles raiders white clark spit split wide to the left rice wide right and now he moves in motion and montana gives to derrick harmon harmon slips down and is finally knocked down by michael downs now in the nfc the situation looks like this the wild card game will be either the 49ers or washington depending upon the result of this one at the new york giants 49ers going with no huddle the rest of the playoff picture you saw and we'll get into it later that's right in motion montana case by white his enchanted receiver fell down it was john frank who has replaced russ francis a tight end [Music] this whole thing that's going on here is interesting pat during the timeout ernie staughtner the defensive coordinator called the whole defense over the sideline so the 49ers didn't know who would be in there then they used their 4-0 defense so here they are in the sideline see they don't know the 49ers don't know who's on defense that's what they did then he put them all in he put the 4-0 in then the 49ers went without a huddle third and eight montana back to throw and the cowboys blitzing montana gets it out to the right and he falls down no flag here's covered by walls bryce lost his footing i think we're seeing the interesting thing here that bill walsh talked about he said if they blitz we have to be able to get the ball to jerry rice now they've been blitzing they haven't been able to get the ball to jerry rice one thing they've got good pressure on montana but two good coverage by everson walls max runner gordon banks back for the cowboy not one of his better efforts he looked like he got that rush there by fowler you just shanked that thing off to his right that looks like some of my golf shots get up there and you think you you're really going to hit it you're going to swing give it everything you got boom boom shank fowler came close punk traveled only 30 yards i think he saw fowler coming you know he's a right-footed kicker stepping that way and fowler was coming into his face that peripheral vision [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Applause] fowler goes straight ahead [Applause] from the time they become a washington they have to learn to hate cowboys on second down and tony gets up knocked out of bounds at about the 43-yard line of san francisco by the young guy a young guy who's always been there [Applause] [Music] mccall has replaced keena turner after that last collision with renfro as we caught the pass for the dallas first down here's dorsett inside the 49er 30. [Music] there's kena turner who was punished after he made the tackle on rent for interesting we were talking to tom landry last night and i asked him why he continued to coach and be so successful as long as he has and he said i like to see people be as good as they can be and he cited mike renfro saying he has gotten 120 out of his ability that's his biggest singing coaching is seeing that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] boom fires outside complete to timmy newsome really upset there's a flag look like ronnie lott touched the official you know you don't have to hit him if you just put a hand on those officials that's going to be 15 yards or it may be ejection from the game personal foul underneath i think the 49er defense thought it was an interception let's see right here they thought that hicks had the interception now the ball is down there [Applause] just at the corner of the picture i don't know that that was a reception though i don't know that they weren't right in their argument and when he went down the ball came loose to go set and he spins down to about the 11. [Music] on the bottom we have to take one more look at that thing to timmy newsome so we can see if he has control here looks like as he goes down the ball comes out the fish was there saying that he had it i don't know if he sees it hicks at it now he's waving now he's waving incomplete and then so he said that the pass was an incomplete pass then ronnie lott kushner [Applause] but ronnie lot comes up quickly with an assist from ricky ellison what looked like it was going to turn into a split to the left cole is off to the right here come the 49ers on that blitz oh the boom lost it in the direction of rimfroe [Applause] septian dallas and the redskins love it if dallas can win the redskins will go to giant stadium next week to play the giants it's tim nothing stepped in set to kick it off to make monroe [Applause] [Music] the kick is gonna go to carl monroe at the seven enroll outside the 30 about the 31 before he stopped by steve diaz 24 yard return one week from today it begins at 12 30 eastern time with the nfl today and then john madden and i will have the pleasure of calling that game either 49ers or the redskins against the giants and it's a long train ride back in starting tuesday to get back there for next weekend montana solomon was open two flags down and a 49er down and a shift by the cowboy defense a lot of things going on i'll tell you that would hurt now the that's the center fred quillen now what happened is the 49ers lost their starting right guard randy cross for all pro right guard who is also their back up center guy mcintyre is playing guard and crosses plays they do have fred hill who they just signed john hill i'm sorry defense illegal use of the hands defense five-yard penalty here is john hill a veteran of 14 years in the nfl the illegal use of the hands is right up there on victor scott on freddie solomon now it was in the five-yard zone it was okay it was a legal area to hit the only thing they had to call that on was that he hit him in the face fred quillen coming out montana had a chance to come over and converse with bill [Applause] [Music] montana back to throw has some protection gets it out to the right floor craig willem is back in the offensive line by the way that was simon motion and there's craig and a first down and a flag randy white made the stop that's in the area of offensive holding not much question about it second down 12 at the 34. [Music] on the draw play and he has no place to go dexter klinksgale and bill bates and don smerrick read it well [Applause] montana flushed out of the pocket by jeff code jeff coke with his favorite move one thing that jeff coach said last night he said if i get in there and i get a sack do me a favor and give me a chalkboard here's jeff koko right here coming in there and putting the pressure boom boom boom don't like give him some good boom some good pressure see he starts there now he starts to the inside he just took a stunt now the reason he got in there is that no one blocked him that does help thanks juggles a minute he's out to the 40 going back the other way is out to nowhere [Applause] in the backfield for dallas pogba boone faced by dean but poe is wide open right at midfield he caught it and covered up a gain of 16. [Applause] you know last night all the players were saying hey tony hill's not playing but don't think that that doesn't mean that we can't throw the ball because this cat poe is really something and carl poe you know and it was going to someday they feel be a star in this league they say he just keeps getting better every day 6-2 and 175 he is split wide to the left right down at the bottom of your picture this time and throws up at the top he caught the ball i can't believe he made that catch white hicks was right with him he was falling down looking into the sunshine everything possibly could have gone wrong when things are going your way they're going your way you can catch them like this you make a move candlestick park is always slippery you start to slip you fall down you come back you catch the ball and then someone's going to say you had good concentration yeah that's a heck of a lot more in good concentration if he didn't fall down i don't think he would have caught it a lot of guys can concentrate but they can't catch it like that while they're contemplating [Music] he spins in the middle and got maybe two ricky ellison on the stop jerry rice who bill walsh felt was such a key to this game got something wrong with his foot but what they're doing i think they're changing cleats here usually the heavier the feel the longer cleats you want now a player will usually start with medium or short cleats then if he has trouble slipping when he does instead of keeps flipping he just puts on longer cleats what did dorsett say last night he's going to start with long pleats forgot here's the 49ers he just throws it up and is down eric wright the defender hoga boom again was hit this time by stover a gain of 15. gary is doing his part today i mean yes dover was hanging on him how he was able to get the ball with that much velocity out there watch he's running to his right now he has to start going backwards he can't step forward there's 72 just over at him and he still gets the ball out here and leads his receiver carl pope and stover wound up with a bad shoulder and had to come out of the game hardy has taken his place [Applause] and he had it and lost it that was almost a touchdown cowboys macklemore watch this move coming up well it's a post corner watch renfrew he's down here at the bottom of the screen he's going to start up then he'll start in to his right to the post you see he goes there see there now that gets the defender going in mclemore then he turns back out then he flattens out he's done it all so far he's done all the move things perfect pass right in his hands and he drops it maybe had he fallen down he would have caught it something else could have gone wrong that was some move though the old post corner sell them on the post and run to the corner there the 49er 23. hold the boom back and here they come again chasing gary and down he goes at the 30 in the hands of keena turner they just didn't get him blocked a loss of eight [Applause] 22 straight on grass could be 23 just got over the crossbow it's good and the redskins are loving it back in virginia they do very few things straight or normal it will be carl monroe at the 10. monroe hit down at about and the cowboys are saying they came up with a football let's see 49er offensive unit meantime is coming on the field 16-yard return 49ers maintain possession bill walsh not too happy about this year or today uncertain you know he's looking at that sprint you know he always strips the first 25 plays of the game and last year it worked so well for him he said this year they just keep giving them different defenses and it hasn't worked here's roger craig he breaks the tackle and gets the 49er first down mike hegman finally stopped him the cowboys are doing something we haven't seen and shifting their offensive tackles well they've been doing that in the first half here they take john dutton and they switch him from the left tackle over the left guard and then they take randy white and put him at the nose over the center never seen him do that before roger craig has gone over the thousand-yard mark and rushing he has a thousand and six now after that run now to get it done receiving fumbles the balls up in the air dallas ball [Applause] how about a split wide as a flanker pick it there comes a penalty marker ronnie lott made the stop phil posteric number 75 was just pounding his fist into his hand and that would mean to me that the penalty would be against him oh positive dinosaurs fighting he was looking right into the eyes of ricky ellison [Applause] [Music] he really is paying for it today gary hogaboom is having a good day and leading these cowboys but he's going to have a sore day tomorrow if they keep going like this and keep letting one of those linebackers get free all the time yeah todd shell was the free linebacker that time you know i never believed in having to call that the hot receiver you let a linebacker go and the quarterback has to get rid of it before he gets there yeah that's easy to draw up and hard to do if you're the quarterback you better carry five quarterbacks if you think that philosophy is good right and still away and the 49ers have to come up with that [Applause] he'll lose that one that's a mismatch michael carter there they finally got him off the field he's probably as fired up about this game as anyone michael carter he's from dallas he was a cowboy fan he's the guy they want to run at and come off of him fred dean was the guy who made the tackle you see it he made the tackles got his hand in there and pulled the ball out on dorset tina turner comes up with the fumble recovery so it's first down san francisco inside their 20 about the 17. montana back to throw and fires complete the park the reduction the roster reduction from 49 to 45 probably had a bigger effect on the 49ers than any other team i would think so because they use more players than any other team both on offense and defense it really hurt them on special teams as well [Music] eugene lockhart the one thing that they do so well and have over the years since they've had roger craig is hit him on those short possession underneath passes i'm surprised so far that they really haven't gone to that the cowboy defense when they're near flex is darn near impossible to run again but it's always easier to throw some on first down that's the book on craig that's russ francis on the move get it out to roger craig and that's the play you wanted jesse that'll bring up a third that's an interesting thing that that play that they did as they were trying to run a real pick they were trying to get interesting or not it's interesting gets [Applause] wide to the left this time montana back to throw with time he's got a man wide open that's right and that's no contact [Applause] 49 yard touchdown pass from canada clark that's a combination that cowboys well remember [Applause] that was the pattern that the 49ers worked on all day they followed the shake pattern it's a boat he starts a post then he goes to the corner then he goes back to the post it's post corner closed they followed they've worked on that all week ray washing with kavanagh holding makes it 13-7 354 left in the first half at candlestick usually it's two thing you watch great clark up on top you usually you go post that here they go see post now back corner again now back post again you see what it did to victor scott he said that's the old post corner scott started to run to the corner dwight clark gave him one more move he ran a great pattern didn't he 13-7 in the first half the cowboys leading 13-7 san francisco just scored on a 49-yard pass from montana to clark five plays 82 yards a minute 52 they kept the ball a must-win situation for san francisco kickoff goes to kenny ducking at the 5. just outside the 20 hit hard by run ferrari a return of 17. let's look at the touchdown pass again anytime you get to the post you have to get rid of the free safety now because they blitz he's man-to-man here so he steps up here's clark he starts up he comes post then he goes corner scott goes with the corner then he comes back post post corner post safety is up let's clock that side victor scott he really gets him turn here he goes about now he gets some turn there when he gives him a second corner wide open michael downs up because of the blitz cowboys have them all at their own 22 first to 10. that's fowler behind hoga boom and behind schultz this is dorsett thank you pardon ricky ellison on the stop [Applause] [Music] they're starting to block now on michael carter in a different way that time they influenced them they brought rafferty to center down then they brought the right guard kurt peterson came down and blocked him he is big strong and just as important very quick to the ground he looks like the sumo wrestler he had it looked up the field and lost it ronnie lot hit cosby and carlton williamson did too i bet ronnie lott had something to say to crosby after he hit him usually those safeties say hey don't come in the middle anymore because i'm waiting right here for you watch him see he hits him and now he's going to say something to him says i'm like don't come in here anymore see the office doesn't pay any attention but they still do it you know it's good if he doesn't come in the middle where else are you going to go i mean he's the tight end that's his area right to po and he's got it carl paul is just barely caught from behind by we did today [Music] and he's got it inside the 10. again it's mclemore the victim 20. oh is that on nixon and that's cosby in motion and hold the boom back to throw hoping for time look out jeff stover tripped him up from behind hey we're looking in the direction of tory nixon there's mike renfro there he's against dwight hicks so he starts in on that post corner move i think hogable wanted to hit him early then he came back and he was looking to this side but jeff stover caught him from behind rinfro goes out wide to the right and paul comes wide left again gorset now hoga boom moves fowler to the other side they just barely got to play off doesn't get anything off ricky ellison there's a fired up linebacker ricky ellison he loves it when you're gonna run here he is here he gets in here unblocked and he gets huge boom before he has a chance to even start back watch him he times that good he times it well he goes right over dorset hogan boom tried to throw it quickly quinn had to bring it down and ricky ellison says i got me one clock running less than a minute now in the first half both teams have all three timeouts remaining hoga boom out of a shotgun tried to draw play the door set and just over and a lot of people were right there and the end will come on 41. that's the distance septian is good again [Music] bounces it to john frank he juggles it and bounces up [Applause] [Music] that's what the 49ers did on that play they had the three over there jerry rice back here singleton you see they got him single well they should have kept him going straight up now they have the three wide outs lined up one behind the other that's two [Applause] montana goes quickly in that direction and got rice quickly inside the 40 to about the 38th they have one more time out left a gain of 14 and they took it since their last time out they had the three wide receivers on this side rice over here this time again against victor scott now instead of going deep he goes up and then boom comes in on the slam gets the ball about to 35 349 right there that'd be a 51-yard field goal this is what the other side looked like one two three lined up the cowboys are lining up on there now what they do is they're gonna bump the first two that's the smart thing like if you're you know hunting for gophers or playing balls pass outside of francis francis got him in range now watch working when he comes onto the field if we can he never looks up what he does though is he looks at those hash marks because if you go straight down the hash marks the hash marks are the same width as the goal post but the goal poster a lot farther away they looked a lot more narrow so he won't look up at him this is going to be from uh just inside the 30 so make it 39 yards for worship he says to his holder when he first comes to the cowboys 16 the 49ers 10. [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] it into the end zone and downs it there and the 49ers will start from their own 20. perfect day boy weather-wise you couldn't ask for better look at this in 1985 the 49ers have had nine halftime leads last year when they went 15 and one and 19 and one ultimately they had to leave 17 18 of one sorry well that's when they had that script you know bill walsh said that it was working so well it's not working as well this year he said they're doing better in the second half and they mark it up at the 44-yard line for a pickup of 24. there was some tightrope back there watch you he's going to run it out then he'll make walls miss here 24. then he makes klingscale miss right here 47. and then he finally gets the third guy gene lockhart finally gets him that was two misses and again but he got about five extra yards on those misses 24 total first down 49ers at their own 44. [Music] and the flag comes down out of the middle of the pack jesse penn stopped him but it's again in that area where it is most likely offensive holding is that umpire he sits right there behind those defensive tackles and he's watching the center and the guards and usually when it comes from there it's going to be against the center or one of the guards holding number 68 offense still first down [Applause] that's the the left guard usually they watch that scene now that's one of the shifts she's done shifted over to that side you see air is blocking right there on the right of the screen now right there you see the arm got behind him and he hooked that elbow montana retreats on first down and goes quickly to right and has him rice gets back just about the 10 they lost down on the arms of victor scott you know the thing that the 49ers do is they still complete the ball they still do things in first they still get the big thing but the thing that's haunted them all year is they're not doing it consistently yeah i mean montana hits skip you know gets the ball there they get a run then something happens like the penalty a little turnover they just haven't been able to put it together it's second and ten harmon comes in motion montana quickly up to harmon maybe a yard and maybe not maybe not that much emerson walls randy white put the pressure on montana the amazing thing was not that the ball was completed for only a yard or two but the fact that he even got that ball away it looked like it came out from the side he looked like he threw crooked watch randy white he's taking a stunt the looping move and how montana got that ball he was ducking he was bailing out on that one dropped about three yards now he goes back seven and he's chased again out of the pocket does it well on the run and he finally just throws it away in the direction of rice montana was chased by smerrick well see and that's the you know the typical thing they complete a couple passes to rice they get a penalty they get a sack they flush them out of the pocket they just can't do it boom boom boom right down the field the way they did last year and last year in that great year that was one of their trademarks they were solid every week renegar's kick is a good one this time gordon's banks will handle it gets away from one man but the 49ers are there a hoard of red jerseys jeff fuller led the pack next weekend the nfl playoffs began with the nfl wild card game either these 49ers or the redskins at giant stadium against the giants 12 30 eastern time the nfl today begins and then john matt and i will be at the game [Music] the giant sure looked good yesterday didn't they yo mars wow well that's the type of thing you need going into the playoffs that's why i believe it's important for the cowboys you don't want to play poorly at the end of the season and limp in there they want to go in peaking they certainly haven't played poorly up until now [Laughter] pogba boom going right to work to carl the 30 to 32 torrey nixon now and the 49er secondary they got him from the redskins well you know that that has to be their game plan eric wright was in here early got injured he had a hip flexor then they put dana mclemore in and they just threw wherever macklemore went now they took mclemore out replaced him at the end of the half with number 20 torrey nixon and that's the guy they're working on [Applause] gets another first down for the cowboys out to the 45 ronnie lott [Music] you know they're still working that side they they hit the pass out there now they throw the screen pass out to that same side to decide to tory nixon's on he was in his own coverage he has to come up you see 20 coming up to the outside then they cut back inside him they're still working that side you find a little weakness and you keep going at it till they stop you rafferty got out there in front of that screen and he blocked torrey nixon pogba boom the quarterback white is not pressed if he joined us late olga boom rolls right got good protection passes picked off by flying dicks by fowler but the 49ers have it in dallas territory big play for the 49er defense i'm sure those redskins are thinking why when you're having so much success working on the other side why work against the veteran why go to the right side white hicks is just sitting there waiting for that one we see the motion we see a zone defense he hits the outside guy just backs up backs up reads the quarterback looks in gets a good jump jumps in front of the ball and gets the interception i don't think holder boom read that as a zone defense he was trying to go to cosby montana has him at the dallas 44. he doesn't go right to work to craig but he does hammer is still about nine inside the 35 stopped by dennis thurman you know they ran that uh that counter tray on that play and we'll see it here you know where they do this they pull the offside like this it was like this excuse me i had the wrong side and then he goes that way that's the play that the redskins use so well that everyone's running now the back takes the counter step the off guard and tackle pull that was the 49er version of counter trey that's good for nine second of one they give again to the dallas 30 report jesse penn gets him down with an assist from eugene lockhart craig already over a thousand rushing this has been a big week for roger craig he won the len eschmann award that's the the players you know picking the the best player and the most inspirational player he won that this week he won the starter in the pro bowl this week and his wife is having a baby this week any day what an enthusiastic individual he is he enjoys playing this game montana has some time and he has francis who juggled it but held on at the dallas 20. walls and scott a game of eight yeah it's funny how you go to training camp and you go through the four preseason 16 regular season and for these 49ers it all boils down to one more half a play either they get it in this half and they go on or they don't and the season's over this indeed is the playoffs for them 9 45 left third quarter craig balloon setback maybe one but maybe enough for the first down it's gonna be close randy white made the tackle i think that's one of the things bill walsh decided at halftime we have to get the ball more to roger craig in the first half he only carried it six times and caught two passes he only had his hands on the ball eight times i think when you look at that at halftime you look at those stats you say he's the hottest player we have we have to get him the ball [Music] and they've certainly been doing it in this drive first down 49ers bill watson backed up quarterback matt kavanaugh he just put john frank in the game fonhorst [Applause] having some work done on his hand 49er trainer hustled out there while they were measuring and now hustle draw [Applause] veterans playing with that mask on got a finger in the eye seeing more and more of that [Applause] he got three yards on desire dutton and hegman out there to make the stop i think the cowboy defense when they're in their regular defense or flex probably plays that type of thing you know that toss or or sweep as well as anyone and there's the guy that coaches from ernie stottner he's calling in the signals there telling them what to do sending in four guys taking out four guys it's like mass confusion they're back in the 4-0 now with all the defensive backs montana gets it down to francis inside the 10 inside the five he is dexter quince jail got him down a gain of 13 to the tight end russ do when you sign francis it's a crossing pattern you'll see a playback here comes francis across [Applause] freescale was on a man-to-man lancers just beat him by a couple steps but the play pass holds them holds the linebackers then you can sneak your tight end in there behind them plus francis runs that pattern as close as he can to that umpire he uses the umpire as a shield on that play first and goal at the [Music] eugene lockhart made the stop but roger craig carried him into the end zone [Applause] 15 touchdowns this year for roger craig yeah roger quake doesn't look like a strong guy but he sure was on that play with kavanagh holding the 49ers for the first time today take the lead roger great right here at the end eugene lockhart number 56 is going to meet him about the two-yard line what's there [Applause] right there now about the two-yard line drive fried fries right he takes lockhart right into the end zone with him and lockhart's the strong guy what's with his contact structure 56 hit from there and what joe's like that latex boom boom boom [Music] where the 49ers have just taken the lead with this scoring drive sailing play 44 yards roger craig kept it off with a four-yard run james jones of dallas flag is down on the near side of the field far away away from where jones went down in the arms of dana mclemore [Applause] it looks like it's going to be against the cowboys bill grace they'll take the cowboys back inside the 10-yard line it was funny bates and vince albritton had john frank down there they were two-timing them and that's where the flag was away from the return the push to the back on the return number 40. a push in the back by bates four-yard run doesn't sound like much but this one is this touchdown i think you know usually the middle linebacker is man-to-man on the fullback and it's usually me against you you know full back against that at the end of that play they kept going after it pogba boom hands to door said and dorsett guess nothing rick d ellison again one of the leaders on this 49er team and he is fired up i think that's what a middle linebacker is supposed to look like you talk about eyes you talk about determination you talk about going to go out and get a runner that's ricky ellison what do you want come on get in here bill walsh said to us yesterday he was afraid that roger craig was worn down a little bit because of all the activity but he sure doesn't look like it does he never takes the day off pogoboom back to throw a lot of time retro somehow wide open again out of bounds over in front of the cowboy bench by hixson but they're all the way up to the 45-yard line hey that had to be a zone defense where hicks was going to take the short lot was going to get to deep which they they get to play fake now hoga boom starts to run out to their right and looks what he find and look what he finds wide open no short guy no deep guy nothing finally dwight hicks gets over and misses and ronnie lott rides him out of bounds well that's a good illustration of what you can accomplish if the passer has time first down at the 46th hoga boom screen pass out to fowler nothing doing here's a guy that a lot of people thought would never play football again with all the knee operations he's had well he had those bad knees and he played at usc and and they thought when he came out that he would never be able to play professional football or any kind of football the 49ers gave him a shot jack reynolds took him under his wing the knees have held up and ricky ellison is a heck of a middle linebacker inside linebacker in the 3-4 and the leader really he's taking reynolds place here comes the blitz hoga boom gets outside of it finally gets it away and throws it away carl was in the area okay you have to give tony gorset an a for effort you know he always runs the ball and you always think of him as a runner that time he had a block and watch the results of that i'll tell you that was some collision watch ricky ellison come here he's going to come and have a collision right here with dorsett and just run right over much more said sending the fate they're watching me in the air you go whoa he puts right on his back ellison keeps coming for a sense that i was supposed to play fake no one said anything about blocking out a spread formation cowboys going now with their three wide receivers 49ers pass is picked off by ronnie lock over the head of paul and lots still on his feet back at just about the same spot the last drive started overthrown ronnie lott with the interception gives the 49ers the ball with the dallas 45. he just over throws this one gary hold of him trying to hit his outside receiver carl paul coming to the inside he just throws it over his head ronnie lott was sitting back there in his own defense poe didn't have a chance pogba boom just threw it right to line [Applause] there's ronnie lot number 42 the interception the turnover situation dallas has three san francisco has two 49ers had the lead by one point and the ball first down at the dallas 45 montana under mike hackman sacked for the third time that is as significant a statistic and tells as good a story as any that's kept in football in the 10 games they won they were plus 24 in the turnover department in the five losses they turned it over 14 times they'll each you up here they go with the stack deck on the right side three receivers lined up behind each other [Applause] see the cowboys look like they're ready for that formation because every time the 49ers have done it the cowboys have been in good position look they have the three guys the cowboys have their three guys they let one go bump one run from inside out with the other one and two of them arrive at the same time of the ball that's good coverage good defense by the cowboys that'll bring up the third and 17. the 49ers are at their own 38. rice is split wide to the left montana felt the pressure applied by two tall jones and jeff coat and randy white and had to unload gordon banks comes in and goes deep and hardy headed for the locker room health-wise he looks okay it must be for some sort of an equipment change max to renegade high good kick thanks gets it across the field ferrari was down 48-yard punt down inside the five by the niner in this half started from their home 14 ran three plays and had an interception by dwight hicks they started at their own eight ran five plays and ronnie locke picked one off now this time they start from their own four 57 left to play in the third quarter nothing maybe a yard or two for north set michael carter the nose tackle really got penetration on that play now the cowboys are running at him and then dorsett is just going to go away from him watch him as he penetrates watch me takes the right side he comes flying in that backfield gorset takes a step at him and then poop right around him so stay away from 95. still has that amazing quickness not many people can do that and make that adjustment that quickly that's renfrow in motion and it's door set on the dallas version of counter tray wayne board was the first man there number 76 [Music] the word on john hardy whom we saw headed for the locker room a minute ago is that he has a problem with his elbow but he should return or set 70 carries 45 yards this 49er defense is sure a tough one to run against when you get all running starts with a nose tackle and you get a nose tackle like carter in there dorsett's not going to get those hundred yards third and five on mclemore tell you one thing the cowboys found macklemore again that is the is the 49er nickel defense that's why macklemore is in there they just looked for him they've beaten him short they've beaten him deep they beat them on the right side and the left side i'm sure they're just trying to find him get a match up there hoga boom's looking for it and then going to that guy five catches 99 yards now for mike renfro that one was for more 13. it was for dallas first down hoga boom gives him the draw play to dorsett who gets outside the 25. michael carter on the stop torcette was saying last night that they're probably going to run a lot of draws and again because the 49ers penetrate and they want to let them penetrate find out where they're penetrating to then run away from it we were talking to gary hogaboom last night and saying asking how much this game meant to him and to him it means a lot but sure i think it means a lot what he's going to be doing next year second and six [Applause] [Music] you know dwight hicks was coming from the left side he didn't get there todd shell got there but i think i think it's right here i think kick starts here all the way okaboom sees him when he's back here looks at him holds up and then he gets caught from the side but watch how they start to blitz hicks is all the way see him sneak sneak sneak sneak now he comes in there now right here you see hoga boom sees that turns the other way and there's todd shell that's a long way to come the [Applause] by the 49ers well i think we have to give dana macklemore credit on that one pat they were trying to go to him again but he had mike retro covered on that one the hoga boom couldn't throw it when he wanted to how to hold it and the rush finally caught up with him mike saxon back to front and dana mclemore standing for the 49ers back at his home 45 saxon about two steps into the end zone [Laughter] all out he gets rid of it not a good kick is hit just as soon as he catches the ball by kenny duckett and it's a miracle that he was able to hold on duncan came flying down there ran into mclemore jumped up and he got a little wobbly watching mclemore's watching it here comes stuck it right in the chimney header don't tell me they don't care who wins a minute 59 left to play in the third quarter at candlestick with the 49ers in a must-win situation leading by one point [Music] 17-16 and it has not in any way been easy montana and the 49ers have the ball at the cowboy 46 first down he gets it out quickly to craig face by downs and finally shoved out of bounds by down here we were talking about roger craig and how he works he never takes a day off on their day off he comes in and he works out he's there every day and then even during practice when he runs a play he runs at 50 yards i mean runs every play 50 yards 49ers go quickly montana goes back quickly faced by lockhart and now he is roger craig has done something that no one else has ever done in the history of the nfl he's gotten over a thousand yards rushing and over a thousand yards receiving the first player in the history of this game to do it 1023 running 1012 receiving [Music] and going for more in the hopes of these 40 million fans francis in moses [Music] [Applause] that truly is a remarkable remarkable feat and that is not all that roger craig can do well you know he catches the passes he runs that's how he clocks on this play 33 he's the fullback it's going to be a crossing action well she's going to come in there on jim jeff go boom he just cuts jeff goat down and then harmon runs to the inside good players do it all there's no great one-dimensional player second and six outside it is the trade faced by lockhart he slipped down [Applause] [Music] he's a guy that sort of lights up the place well he does you know i mean he lights up the place when he's sitting around in a meeting room and you know in practice i couldn't believe it but just on a friday practice he'll take the ball and they run a dummy scrimmage and he runs at 50 yards he runs as far as he can go and then he runs back and does it again he only knows one way to go it's a good thing they got a fence around the field a reverse coming to rice rice is faced by jeff cook and that's a mismatch rice inside the 15 touchdowns [Applause] rookie jerry rice from mississippi valley state and [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 24-16 san francisco [Applause] let's watch that play rice is here you start to flow this way and he comes back here but now watch about right here the block he's going to get from number 81 russ francis that breaks them see what you do is you start to float both backs this way here comes rice hand it there now he gets away from jeff coat right up here and i watch down about the five yard like coming into the picture now there's rush francis he gets that last block he needs that gets rice into the end zone you know when you look at it jeff coke was not fooled he was in the right place right he doesn't do anything about it right there's russ francis [Applause] here it is francis starts on this side he's going to come all the way across the place jesse penn looked like he may have been clipped right there as rice got by jessica can't do anything good block coming up and touchdown 49ers and they lead 24-16 a reverse by rice and washing kicks it off kenny duckett feels it at the goal line [Applause] that was the length of the return as well hey one thing we've seen here today pat is a lot of good crisp special teams hitting when they kick that ball off those coverage teams are flying down the field today what an important part of the game that is you know the rams lead the nfl in five special team categories and that's why they won the western division this year ogleboom back on first down to rimfo and renfro is outside the 40 about the 43 carlton williamson made the stop for the gain of 18. receivers mike winfree and poe who have caught six passes rent for over 116 yards and poll for 119 yards but the important statistic is that the 49ers lead the game 24-16 in a must-win situation pogba boom is 19 out of 31. fakes the dorset rolls right gets it off in the direction of poe and it's incomplete i think when okaboom came out here pat he had so many things open he had timmy newsome open short he had poe open deep and he was open for a run but he didn't know what to do with it he said i go here do i run do i go there and he kind of short armed it a little to po and that brings up second and ten dallas operating from their own 42 and the 49ers leading by eight points went for a wide left right white here comes the blitz outside the new summit tammy newsome lunges for about five michael walter brought him down they give him six michael walter of course was the famous guy that the cowboys drafted and gil brandt said i'll guarantee you he'll be a starter by the end of training camp of course he wasn't a starter he was waived the next year and now he's starting for the 49ers inside linebacker there's todd shell that will shake it up a little bit walter saw that big mint he's got on his hand he's got a broken thumb he had two screws put in his thumb and then it got infected and they had to take them out hogaboom outside pole and that's complete as corey nixon was on the coverage and poe is down on the sideline holding his left cast that looks in the area of a cramp i'm sure the way they're rubbing it that's what it is there you know sometimes you you get the thing and you get you know you're sweating you're playing all day and and you just make a move like that and you clamp up [Applause] and that's what happened to poe on that time you know where you are when you're when you've been going all day and then you just stop and you tempt something it just stays in that tense position carl paul he's had a great day coverage of the national football league is sponsored by light beer from miller everything you've always wanted in a beer and less and by radio shack your christmas electronics store [Applause] [Music] [Applause] nixon while we wait for tony to get back to the huddle let's run down the list of scores around the league today indianapolis beat houston 27-9 well that's in the fourth quarter beggie pardon the jets did beat cleveland 37-10 they'll host the wild card game new england will be the guests 34-23 over cincinnati miami 28-nothing over buffalo they win the afc chicago finishes 15-1 philadelphia beat minnesota atlanta over new orleans kansas city over san diego green bay beat tampa bay 49ers chase hogan he just lofts it out in the direction of tony dorsett gina turner was pursuing gary hoga boom [Applause] here's where he got the pressure from he's trying to throw a screen out here turner gets the pressure on him and he ends up he just has to throw it away you see he gets turner coming from one side fuller from the other turner's free you see now now he pulls it down now he just has to throw it whether dorset's ready or not that was a smart plate just getting rid of that one and avoid the long third down yeah third and ten now he operates out of the spring 49ers do not blitz i know the boom has some time he's chased by carter that carter hasn't michael carter on hoga boom for a loss of six you know one thing that the guy does you know you take the nose tackle you let the ends rush up the field and you give the nose tackle he just handles that line of scrimmage and he's ready for any quarterback scramble that's exactly what carter did that then on the line saw the scramble bow right down the line saxon back to punt mclemore back at the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] at the 15-yard line of 36 yards 13-16 left to play 49er to hit by eight tonight on cbs 60 minutes of course and then a special presentation starring george c scott a christmas carol and then crazy like a fox these fans are crazy about their 49ers 13 16 left to play and they give it to craig roger craig around the corner finally taken down by down with a 49ers first down a gain of 19 by roger craig i think right now the 49ers are serious about their running what they did is they put bill ring in he's number 30. he's the lead blocker for roger craig they lead with ring break comes up steps up hold brings the defense in and then boom he pops it out to the outside but when bill ring comes in as a half back he was on that play you can darn near be guaranteed as a running player ring is out harmon is in craig is in motion montana gets on the draw play to harmon he got a yard we were talking to craig yesterday about cowboys are saying they got the ball i don't think the officials agreed well they got to find out what's down there in the bottom of that pile here's roger craig it's interesting talking to him yesterday about the backfield that he was in college at nebraska mike rozier well first here's the fumble [Applause] turner gill the quarterback there's harmon's fumble yeah you see he just runs right in there to the line that didn't do anything to the cowboy line watch the ball is right down there randy randy white's left foot bouncing back up [Applause] [Music] there's some room there newsom is out of bounds at about the 49er 30. you know that now with a score 24-16 the cowboys have to think in terms of two scores they need a touchdown and a field goal so even you know they're in field goal position now so they don't have to think in going for it on a fourth down [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] second and three 12 55 left to play down and off dorset about a yard shy of a first down jeff stover on the bottom of the pile just to complete that nebraska backfield the other member was irving fryer and like you said yesterday no wonder they're always up in the top five or six the other thing is roger craig is setting records for pass receiving at nebraska he only caught 16 passes his whole career there for his senior year [Music] [Applause] that's amazing bill walsh said when we brought him to mini camp there goes tony dorsett limping off we knew we had something special james jones with newsome in the backfield it's newsom i don't know if he got it or not ricky this is the situation here now pat if they're short i think they have to kick the field goal if they only needed one touchdown i'm not sure what these guys say but they probably think that they ought to kick it too but i think if it is fourth down i think you have to kick the field goal i think so too you need the scores anyway it really doesn't matter when you get them does it no if you can get the three and the seven or the seven and the three this is going to be close about a foot short boy this is tough to do i think the cowboys are going to go for it those guys are saying go for it everyone wants you to go for it but i think in this situation and you need 10 i think you take the three well let's see what would it be like a 45-yard field goal very little wind they need about a foot that's north hecker who coaches the linebackers for san francisco over with bill walsh if he wasn't down he's not going to get [Applause] it the 49ers will take over well they didn't get any movement in there at all [Applause] it was right there there was no movement there was nothing the 49er line was right there john hardy was the guy that knew some ran into hardy knocked him backwards and landry says oh no so the 49ers take over with 11 and a half minutes remaining in the fourth ready first down 49ers with their own 39. rice wide left montana looking for los francis who has it chased by jeff rohr knocked out of bounds by clint scale but in the dallas territory a gain of 13. i don't know if flingscale knocked francis out of bounds or francis went out of bounds and then knocked playscale but francis he's going to be here i think he goes out of bounds because he's out right now and then point [Applause] never did go down no first and ten montana back to throw and go on for rice and he's got him if he can get there victor scott running with him but rice was pulling away [Applause] he is going to be a great receiver barring injury he's going to be one of the best to ever play you know you talk about speed any guy that can run has two or three gears you have one gear to get open then you have another gear to separate or one by watch rice separate from victor scott that's a pretty big separation there the ball just spent just an inch less that would have been a touchdown he almost ran away from his own towel second and ten [Applause] straight ahead for about four inside the dallas 45 don smerrick on the bottom of the pile jeff coat there as well you know the 49ers have taken a lot of heat and joe montana has taken a lot of heat but really football isn't consistent like it was last year with all this blitzing and the defenses we see and going after them and penetration it's hard to be that consistent quarterback joe montana is still the statistical leader still the pro bowl quarterback bill walt said it all revolves around joel here's randy white chasing joe and joe's out of the pocket and he gets it to rice rice is tipped up by walls when he gets down inside the dallas 25 montana made that play on his escape because randy white had him anyway it had him with no blocker on him coming right into him but montana always escaped to his right watch it he feels the pressure there now he gets he does it now he runs out to the right and two completes that pass how many times have you pictured joe montana scrambling out to his right and completing a big time if i were against him i'd rather him stay in the pocket montana fort clark touchdown [Applause] 24 yards from montana to dwight park and it looks more and more like the giants will entertain the team in red what an adjustment by dwight clark on that playback he was looking over his left shoulder then he had to come back and catch the ball over his right mark has caught five passes for 99 yards and two touchdowns for the extra point and it's good [Applause] let's watch that pattern it was the same type of pattern that he ran earlier but it was thrown over his outside shoulder watching here he's gonna start in he's gonna run up the field then he'll give him a move to the inside post now back to the corner now he's going to go back again now it's over that so now he turns his head and catches it over the inside shoulder that was a post corner and then it ended up in one more little move one more adjustment probably is better than the move at the end because montana threw the ball to the inside that's the familiar pose isn't it san francisco 31 dallas 16. five plays 61 yards that could be the end of the season for the washington redskins although they had another good year [Music] to the 24. [Applause] the younger of the two brothers is the one who made the tackle first down cowboys [Applause] cowboys will start from their own 25 excuse me john tell you one thing about these 49ers you know when you get down on them when you get them going the way the cowboys had them early you have to put them away because if you give them any life they still have great firepower here's newsham working at tailback as dorset is out torrey nixon made a stop delighted that joe montana equally happy as dwight clark you know you talk about nemesis or whatever those guys are that cause other teams problems that clark has to be one for those cowboys doesn't it he's like mel gray used to be against the cowboys he was saying you know i had him on that play before they got down where he could throw the play that made the touchdown that's that's newsome in motion back to throw gets it outside of fowler fowler lunging up to about the 35. short of a first down or maybe you got it i think it's going to be short you know i would bet of all the teams you know the bears thinking about this and the year that they've had like the 49ers had last year i bet the one team that the bears don't want to see and it is the 49ers because if you think of the teams that do things that can give the bears trouble i think you have to think of this team the 49ers of course they have some work to do they have to win this game then they have to go back to new york and beat the giants before they would be able to play the giants looked good yesterday third and short and they give this to newsome this time he will have the first down and very nearly broken up broke out of the pack dana mclemore thank you ronnie a lot ronnie lott hurt his left arm or his left hand on that play that thing oh yeah they caught it right there he just made contact with newsome there in the hall didn't wrap his arms it looks like he had something going there watch ronnie lot 42 he comes up makes the hit right there and whatever it was it was his left hand because watch him right now he knows the left hand or finger on the left hand 49er just barely got 10 men on the field got 11 men on the field they depart nixon makes the stop the penalty flag is down there's ronnie lott i think they ended up with 12 on the field pat did they when fred dean came on at the last minute so illegal procedure 12 men on the field look at that secondary now they've got mclemore and nixon the cornerbacks the dwight hicks and carlton williamson the safety men they've already lost eric wright now they lose a lot that'll [Music] they're still looking at ronnie lott over on the 49er bench it's first and five for dallas at their own 45 san francisco leading 31-16 7-51 left to play [Applause] [Laughter] outside of fowler

the divisional playoffs dallas at los angeles with a wild card winner then that of course all the next week at soldier field in chicago [Applause] ronnie lot still holding his thumb and headed for the locker room [Applause] i'm sure i'm sure he has one of those fractures you know that uh you know a spiral fracture or something where the bone comes through the skin because there is blood involved in that thing and he's in obvious pain remember daryl green of the redskins had one of those early in the year and they could play but it's amazing how much that big myth that you have to wear affects your running and your mobility and your whole balance thing and you're tackling and and being able to catch or grab or anything it does but of course it's a lot easier for a defensive player remember when it happened to phil sims had that type of thing of course the quarterback that puts him out for the season third down pokemon from the spread here comes the and white 49ers has it and he's down at about the 49-yard line corey nixon made the hit that knocked it loose from [Applause] renfro [Music] did what he had to do he got rid of the ball there was a blitz he hit renfro renfro had the ball put it away just got the pump by two guys and the ball popped out and there's dwight hicks he says i'll take that thing he's had a good day key interception and now that fumble recovery ring in the backfield the ring gets the carry hit right at the line of scrimmage by john duckman turnovers turnovers turnovers rhyme with nightmares ring is hurt [Applause] whatever he did he got that ball and he just started to move and john dutton was right in front of him [Applause] 31-16 niners over dallas see heisman winner bo jackson in the cotton bowl on cbs sports hello with winter setting in some people are worried about drinking a wine cooler when they are a whole lot cooler than they'd like to be already so ed got himself a cooler warmer and has developed a warmer cooler this is simply bartles and james heated up along with a cinnamon stick so if you live in minnesota or antarctica or someplace like that stock up on mars and james it is not only the best cooler cool but also the perfect cooler for those who prefer a cooler warmer thank you for hitting my nut in there that that that the knee went before he went down just buckled i think it did i don't think it happened here when he rolled over i think when he got hit i think that knee collapsed on him you know he's one of those guys that any charity you know that anything any charity he's the first guy there anyone wants anyone they need a 49er player bill ring is the guy the golf tournament everything he gives as much of his time as any player in the league i know matt kavanaugh is now the 49er quarterback he's going right to work it does defend solomon and solomon gets inside the cowboy 35 before eugene lockhart can bring it down looking ahead a gain of 17. wendell tyler had arthroscopic knee surgery what a couple of weeks ago did he come back conceivably right and he said that he could come back next week and bill walsh said yesterday he would expect that he could come back next week freddie solomon of course thought there was a possibility that this could be his last game now it looks like when the playoffs start freddie solomon will play some more [Applause] derek herman brought down for a loss freddie solomon was the last 49er introduced when they introduced the team before the game and you should have heard the ovation that he got wide receivers you can hear it number 88 playing his last regular season retiring from cold football ready [Applause] 11 years he's been at it a moving moment solomon comes in motion and they give to harmon from behind by base 4 49 left to play now we're all freddie solomon he's retiring he's announced it he's playing his his last game here in candlestick and they're going to give him a penalty is it against freddie i think it is i think he was coming on a crack back and i think they're going to get him for some illegal blowing offense number 88 yep if they did get him you're not supposed to do that and they on the day a guy retire no cinnamon here he is there's freddy he's going to come in motion he gets a block right in here and that's what they call holding it's not really much of a block you see him come in motion here comes down here they're going to run inside him right here he's just helping he just gets his hands up there not doing anyone any harm no just no harm no foul whatever happened to that on second down they give to harmon again white and down by klingscale and smearage and the clock is running [Music] 60 minutes next except on the west coast where you'll see it at its regular time in its entirety all 60 minutes somebody said earlier this year to us that they had one guy so slow it took him an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes that's my tape again we understand that uh bill ring is being x-rayed for a broken left ankle bone fibula [Applause] stays on his feet finally stopped and knocked down by dexter clunksgale a gain of 15. [Applause] looking ahead again the 49ers this year have been a very good road team they have to go to new york they have to play the giants at giant stadium they are five and three on the road this year you know the giants are another team they weren't like the redskins were watching to see if they got into playoffs or not the giants were they they won yesterday they know they're hosting the game they didn't know who they were going to play well they can start pulling out the films of the 49ers think back about the giants season they could very easily be 14 and 2 or something like that nobody beat them badly oh we got a fourth down situation here in the 49ers i don't know what they were going to do they just stayed in the huddle to take the penalty of too much time now maybe they're going to do that and then put the punt team in i would imagine i would think so it doesn't really matter to reneger in fact he'd probably be rather be further back yeah then they get a better angle of trying to get the ball out of bounds of course the cowboys can decline the penalty so they'll back runner up gordon banks goes back to the cowboys to about the 10 runger will aim it for one of the sidelines or he might he might just down it clock is running still with 233 left to play you may pooch it that sounds dangerous i bet he goes to the right he pushed it circles under it has to dive for it to the 20. you might as well kick it out of the end zone huh instead of messing around with pooching next saturday don't forget college football the sun bowl with el paso georgia against arizona that's live at 12 30 eastern time and after that louisville against kentucky that's basketball ncaa on cbs and chucky against louisville it's been a long time since they liked each other [Applause] [Laughter] banks split wide to the right here's hoga boom back to throw and gets it outside to newsom listen to the 30. about nine nixon on the tackle [Applause] wendell tyler on the sideline autographing a program and again there is the owner of the 49ers eddie de bartolo jr very happy about this situation i'm sure wendell tyler as we said hopes to be back next week [Music] [Applause] [Music] san francisco 31 dallas 16. candlestick park has not been in recent years certainly a friendly happy place for dallas to visit [Applause] he gets out to the 47th dana mclemore tackle him a gain of 17. no huddle for dallas this time both teams have all three of their timeouts remaining ogleboom goes quickly the flag is down the pass is caught by jones he is down ferrari out there to make sure he stayed there [Applause] [Music] executive producer terry o'neill senior producer charles h milton the third directed by sandy grossman thank you thank you joan vetrano and a thanks to all the rest of our crew and a merry christmas and a happy holiday season to all of them as well as all of you there's a big cannon they just shot wasn't it that was a aurora that uh that ripped through the whole place here where'd that come from i don't know mr borrowed that from the college or something screen passed to newsome three blockers in front newsom gets enough for the first down the clock stays alive with a minute and 25 seconds left keena turner on the stop like the cowboys will go to anaheim to play the rams 49ers will go cross-country [Applause] intended for renfro he's hit by mclemore [Music] somebody must have hit her hard [Music] bill walsh bill say about the nickel defense he said it's a haunting thing for coaches he used to like it you know when they didn't run that nickel and all those blitzes and they just played normal defense and you can script it now it's time for you you have your script but it doesn't work and then you make your adjustments and you come out and do it in the second half and that's what he did today here's hoga boom back to throw looking and throwing down the middle [Applause] he's at the is line well you can't say nobody can say that the cowboys didn't play as well as they could play and if mike renfro didn't give him a full day's work he always does hoga boom fires it out of bounds but you know there's certain individuals who haunt certain teams number 87 for san francisco this was the catch in 1982 in the championship game and it was number 87. [Applause] earlier today watch number 87 same guy same uniform same result dwight clark [Music] from joe montana someone asked dwight clark why he had such amazing stamina he said they examined him and he had unusually long loans have you ever heard that before to james jones intended 38 seconds left to play but i know that he does have amazing stamina i mean he's one of those guys he's a lot like roger craig those guys that just turn on the clock when the practice starts and they just run all the way through it and they're still going strong at the end let me watch him in a workout dwight clark i'm speaking of now and it looks like there's no way this guy's ever going to be a deep threat but two touchdown passes one of [Applause] and he's going to have it picked off by torrey nixon he was looking in the direction of gordon banks and eddie the owner of the 49ers is going to love it and does love it i think they said that he was out of bounds pat oh really look like he's explaining he said i had it i had both seat inbounds interesting what he said would he join the redskins i think you said before the first thing they taught him was you have to hate the cowboys to play for the redskins that's what he said there's one foot down nope that second foot wasn't yeah he said the first thing they said he was drafted by the redskins reported to the camp and said you hate the cowboys i said well i didn't know what i was supposed to say so i didn't know if i did or not i just said no i saw it coming i saw it coming dwight hicks put a hat on renfro not only has performed he's tough redskins back in virginia looking on it started off as a happy day but didn't finish his one it's a happy day for these guys they last year's world champions they're doing it they're doing it the tough way this year well john you've been through it it is tough to defend the super bowl championship well it is it's just tough to you know you you relax in the off season and you enjoy it but then you don't have that same hunger to get ready for the next year but i think they're starting to get it back now at the end of the season don't forget next 60 minutes except on the west coast 24 seconds remaining kavanagh will just it's freddy solomon freddie solomon is a quarterback they'll let him run out the clock he always wanted to be a quarterback and he got to play his last regular season play as a quarterback now he wants the ball and he got it that trophy will be around for a long long time in the solomon household the last play a regular season he finally got to play quarterback of course he was a college quarterback at tampa so he came into prose as a quarterback he's going out as one coming up next the nfl today the wrap-up show was
