1997 COWBOYS @ PACKERS #packers #cowboys

[Applause] that's good for the game there's no love losses there's been there's been wars down there in the previous years past you really lick your chops at the opportunity to play in this game but at the same time you know everybody in america is watching this football game this is a game that is not the the caliber game that the super bowl was but it is a big game so it may be a couple personal fouls and some late hits and stuff like that traditional stuff [Applause] there's definitely a dislike for dallas if we want to stop being embarrassed as a football team against the dallas cowboys we got to start playing at a high level against the dallas cowboys whoever wins this game is going to be america's team and that was a big drive for the cowboy why can't you beat him i don't know it's just that's a tough question but you know they've always been able to find some way to just wear us down wear us down and get the job done in all those games all seven of them turnovers played a significant role and we were very sloppy with football and it always bothered me a lot because i never felt as though we played our best [Applause] they kicked me out of here i'd like to i'd like to try and win one of those you know do you see that same superior kind of dallas cowboys team mr dallas same organization same colors same players same owner same thing and we still haven't beaten them you see big play guys and uh that's how they're beating us with big with their big play guys i mean they're like hey everyone expects the packers to win and they're eight and three and defending super bowl chambers although we've beaten them everyone's saying hey we're six and five we're going down we'll go in there and have fun and play and that's what scares me chris boniol boots it through it is good and the capital this is what the packers are saying to them this is showing us no respect whatever we've been waiting a long time to have dallas here because we can't beat them down there so i think the fact that we're playing at dallas all those times has to factor in that's an excuse antonio yeah it is but it's always better when you're at home we won't let them know that you know it's different playing in green bay than it is anywhere else in the nfl we should have had the opportunity to beat them down there you know we've been having a lot of people cry when we want them in green bay well let's see how bad we want to be all right pam oliver thank you very much for that report it is time now for our fox energizer playbook and for that we bring in our guys pat sumrall and john madden fellas you called quite a few of these dallas and green bay games what are you looking for this afternoon well i suppose jb you talked about the injuries earlier and there are three key injuries for the packers from brooks who took part in the warm-up reggie white who came out with the rest of the defensive union and gilbert brown who didn't even take part in the pregame warm-up so that's something we'll be watching as the game progresses there's one other matchup that the packers are hoping for and hoping they can make stand up and john madden's back at his telestrator to explain what that's all about well you know the the thing is pat is is that the the green bay packers have lost the last eight straight games to the dallas cowboys and they've really been manhattan at the line of scrimmage and they haven't been aggressive and today fritz sherman the defensive coordinator the green bay packers wants to have an aggressive defense and he knows what he has to stop i mean if you look at their offense and you know that this is what it is i mean you got troy aikman you got emmett smith and you have michael irvin now these are the three guys that have really over the years given the green bay packers a lot of trouble because they could never stop emmett smith running in here so what they're going to do today is they're going to take doug evans and they're going to line him up on michael irvin now if doug evans can handle michael irvin by himself then that's going to free leroy butler that's going to free him up to come up for the run to be eight men in the box and that'll help against emmett smith that's also going to free leroy butler to come up here and blitz troy aikman on the past because they know that they have to knock troy aikman down they have to stop emmett smith's inside running and they have to take michael irvin away hopefully with one guy and that one guy being doug evans so that's what we're talking about today and we're talking about doing it aggressively because those three guys have killed the packers and those are keys we'll be watching throughout the afternoon back to you jb emmitt smith and the playmaker michael irvin your usual team will be dispatched brett favre will be your point man and in the minister of defense reggie white will back him up as always should you or any member of your packer force fail the cheese heads will disavow all knowledge of your actions this tape will self-destruct as the sun rose this morning over lambeau field there were and still are a lot of questions to be answered the crowd lambo feel unmatched anywhere in pro football as the dallas cowboys long awaited visit to green bay and lambeau has arrived this is a big game obviously because of the rivalry between these two but because of the standings as well the giants washington and dallas and the nfc east and green bay involved in a three-way tie for first place in the nfc central green bay minnesota and tampa bay i'm pat sumrall with john madden let's get right to the meat of the matter john what does dallas have to do offense and so coming up it's the dallas cowboys and green bay packers from lambeau field with john and i'll be back for the albany kickoff when fox nfl sunday continues after these messages from your local station has won 24 straight home games dallas has won eight straight against green bay seven of those at texas stadium dallas's own three at lambeau field 20 degrees the temperature with the windshield factor it is minus eight but john madden it doesn't really feel too bad oh and i think there's so much emotion down in the field with these players that it that it feels like normal weather to them this is this is good hitting weather this this is good football weather back deep for dallas as they will receive the opening kickoff herschel walker and brock marion and it's going to be walker who comes out of the end zone after a little hesitation but herschel walker gets out to the 26 and let's look at the cowboy offense led by of course troy aikman 7-1 his career record against green bay coming off that emotional performance last week in front of him hegemon newton shiver allen and eric williams back [Music] after being a question mark earlier in the week emmitt smith and herschel walker opened as the backs michael irvin anthony miller wide receivers and eric bjornson the tight end gilbert brown who didn't take part in the team warmups is out on the field and part of the defensive unit lined up over shiver and here's eggman back to throw he gets it after the snook on first down that smith knocked out of bounds immediately seth join a questionable santana datsun and game gabe wilson's the other two brian williams bernardo harris in the middle and seth joyner who just made that play and the secondary doug evans a big load on his shoulders eugene robinson leroy butler and tyrone williams second and 13. look at this pad on sucking down the packers have gone to a three-man line aikman back to throw the blitz comes and down he goes and that's one of the reasons that they went through a three-man line so that they could do some blitzing they wanted to show the cowboys a different blitz and you're going to see exactly what they do is that they line a three-man line here's the three men right here then they bring the brits from the outside and the inside bernardo harris on troy aikman's backside [Applause] i don't think the cowboys were ready for that you know the the green bay packers are not a big three-man line team nor are they a big blitzing team from the three-man line that was a french schermer special for the cowboys three wide receivers four-man front this time for green bay they're not going to blitz and eggman [Music] incomplete intended for separate williams great series by the green bay packer defense they wanted to not let troy aiken and aikman get into rhythm and they sure did it on that first of all he started with a four-man line then they went through a three-man line blitz and then went back to a four-man line and they didn't let troy aikman get off to any kind of smooth start toby going back to punt for dallas and derrick mays deep for green bay kick is not very good bounces out of bounds right at midfield and let's have a look at the green bay starting offensive unit now led by the trigger man brett favre who has not been able to pull the trigger against dallas 0-7 verba taylor winners timmerman and dotson up front dorsey levin's william henderson antonio freeman and robert brooks there was a big question about him and mark shimura brooks is wearing a protective jacket broke a rib two weeks ago punctured alone here's brett favre the dorsey pounds away for first down on his first carry here's the dallas defense the front four carver hennings casillas and tobert the linebackers coakley strickland and godfrey the secondary sanders brock mary and darren woodson and kevin smith [Applause] one of the things mike holmgren said yesterday pat is if he can get some running going with dorsey levin that'll take a little of the pressure off brett favre's shoulders dorsey levens dying lined up deep behind henderson and again he gets the carrot gets a couple [Music] dion sanders made the stop you know that's one of the things that they want to do they want to not only run but they want to run at dion sanders get in a position or get deion sanders in a position that he has to get up there and make the tackle now the green bay packers are not an inside running team they're a team that runs at the edges and you know after they get at the edges then they get outside then they go looking for dion sanders to make a play in the running game three wide receivers down mays brooks freeman against 11 and 11 smothered at the line of scrimmage by dion sanders yeah and that time it was chad hennings who got the penetration see in the first couple of runs they didn't get any penetration but if you watch here you'll see chad hennings and he's going to end up back here now when a defensive lineman ends up back there where chad hennings is right there you see that redirects a bat and then not only not only redirects him but that makes him stop now now watch what dion sanders does here he's on derrick mays he comes off but levens was just going into a slip as dion sanders was going into a tackle third and eight three wide receivers at the dallas 37. far back for his first attempt behind antonio freeman it might have been deflected again that that whole thing you know when we talked to brett favre yesterday he says we were second down play by the penetration then on third down he's the guy that tipped the ball hendrick back to punt for green bay and sanders deep he'll let it sail over his head and into the end zone and the cowboys will take over at the 20. defensive units very impressive the first time on the field queens don't get don't stay green mike holmgren and barry switzer the two head coaches two tight end set up for dallas a formation they've used in the last couple of weeks straight ahead at smith and right now for a mcdonald's game break let's see at lambeau field cowboys second offensive possession to emma smith eugene robinson i believe came up with it for green bay this is the thing that the packers have done in previous meetings this is the thing that mike holmgren talked about that he they had to turn around you see they're going to start off to the right side you got a a lead here by herschel walker and i don't know that emmett smith ever got that ball back it looked like it was an exchange problem but fred aikman is putting it out there with his left hand and he puts it in there but but emmett smith never gets control of the ball never got it all the way in then eugene robinson was right up there to jump on it first lost fumble for dallas in the last five games far incomplete no flags tyrone davis the intended receiver you know they really like tyron davis i was watching him practice and he's the guy that when they get down here they're gonna throw to him you see him here they have four receivers three wide receivers and tyrone davis who is a tight end and they they they think that that's a match up that they can win today that they can get tyrone davis their backup tight end and a good receiver against a linebacker cover man instead of a corner that's what they had they had to match yeah well william henderson is a good lead blocker you know we know that dorsey levins is a good pass receiver and a good runner and part of the thing that helps that running game is the fullback blocking the lead blocker and william henderson gives him something special there he's a load about 250. it's a lot like moose johnston was when he was playing with a cowboy [Applause] brooks by brock marion i don't know about this robert brooks you know you'd mention that earlier back where he had a broken rib and the broken rib punctured a lung and he had a collapsed lung he really hasn't played in two weeks hasn't played that was the first time that he's had contact since that broken rib game although he did finish the game broken rib game longwell from 34 yards out [Applause] no good that's only his third miss of the year nine bill here's long wells field goal attempt from 34 yards out off the left upright as it was really hooking i was looking he was on the right hatchback so he has to put a little hook on it to get it in the middle and i think he overhooked it gilbert brown on his back aikman to michael irvin and that's equine's first completion doug evans made the stop and that's a match-up that we were talking about earlier doug evans is going to be on michael irvin all day and if he can handle him and this is a match up out here and if he can handle him then then then they can do something then then they can take leroy butler and he can either blitz or he can get up there and help against a run they could free him up to help in other areas and the exchange between aikman and emmitt smith again they missed that looks like they've never worked together well you know what they're trying to do pat is they're trying to stay away from the inside running they're trying to run on the edges wider than they normally do instead of running in the four hole which would be between the guard and the tackle they're trying to get out to the six hole which is between the tight end and attack that would be because of the absence of moose johnson i think the absence of moose johnston i think i think you know they worry about the inside uh defense with gilbert brown in there trying to get away from gilbert brown trying to get more towards the edges with three-man front again and the packers are showing blitz and the cowboys pick it up this time [Applause] the cowboys michael irvin obviously thought there should have been a flag yeah on doug evans and that's a matchup we're going to be watching all day today and anytime they say any time that you can get man-to-man on michael irvin and that's exactly what you have here that they have to go to doug evans plays him well he gets up there he's physical with him he can hit him for five yards michael irvin pushes him in the head then doug evans at the end pushes michael irvin i think that could be a penalty on both of them the outside receivers and corners are getting more and more physical every week in this game go on a better kick this time but still maze will have a chance [Applause] the cover teams are excellent for the cowboys and for the packers and again they do their job led by vincent smith and so green bay takes over at about their own 37-yard line field pat summer all with john madden no score yet michael irvin is somewhat upset i think you'd have to say well i think he's trying to trying to fire his guys up and probably trying to fire himself up and he's a little upset with that losing that physical matchup with doug evans he kept pointing up at the instant replay board up here in the stadium here's five brooks got it down brett farm says if they were gonna work on someone it's going to be kevin smith that's the first pass that brett favre completed today that's not a bad start and brooks stayed down after he made the catch i think that rip i mean i think he's going to be up and down all day but he ran a heck of a pattern that was a post pattern on kevin smith [Applause] just watch him out here he's lined up out here here's kevin smith you can see a little off him and he's going to run the pattern into this area a 36-yard pickup you see him he comes here and then he just runs away from kevin smith brett favre leads him perfectly fires incomplete the ricochet almost fielded by the cowboys and it was almost fielded by antonio freeman almost a touchdown for the packers but you know when brett favre throws that fast ball as he did it's going to bounce off a lot of bodies and it's going to hurt those bodies it bounces off especially on a day as cold as the day the ball gets harder and the fan the hands get more brittle and brett farb doesn't take anything off of it darren woodsman with a fastball like that there's some room 11th to the 20 knocked out of bounds by dexter coakley that's exactly the packer running game the packer running game is not an inside running game the packer running game is at or towards the perimeters and that's what dorsey levin does extremely well when dorsey levins will start like he's going off tackle and then bounce it to the outside he's a big guy you'd think he'd be able to be very effective as an inside runner but he isn't he's better outside and and then once he gets outside you don't have your big defensive lineman a linebacker's tackle you have corners tackling and then he gets a heck of a lot bigger third down looking for the free play on the play [Applause] [Music] did you see where the red farm gave that hard count trying to get him offsides then he gets him to jump then he knows he has a free play and he is so good at making a guy accept the penalty left defensive end it's third down the hard count see it's not only the hard count but but it's also the the head bobbin and and you get and you get the the hard count which is the the voice along with the movement of the head and and i'll guarantee you eighty percent of the time someone's gonna jump you know he had a problem yesterday speaking yeah yes strep throat throat yeah [Applause] [Music] i don't know that you can do what tony casius did i don't know you can do what brett favre did you know if brett favre did what he did i still don't think you can do it coney could see that i don't think you ever get a free shot at the quarterback encroachment 75 defense i guess you can yeah yeah but but he only did it he only did it for the the five yard he didn't get anything else but listen to this this is what affects a defensive tackle [Music] i think what tony casilla says on that one is that the center frank winters moved also so you got a little head bob and a little hard count by brett favre and a little movement by a bag of donuts in there [Applause] incomplete intended for jamura shimura comes out don phibi has replaced him so now they have three wide wide receivers inside the 10 to about the seven this is one thing that the packers like to do and it's a it's a signature of mike holmgren is is they like to get in a passing formation you know like you say three wide receivers four wide receivers then get you in a nickel defense or pass defense and then run the ball at you third and goal at the seven [Applause] strickland comes back into the cowboy defense as they split two receivers wide left and go with two tight ends and tyrone davis is over on that right side wide open is he just dances into the end zone and into the stands [Applause] i think they got a double dip i think derrick mays was in there with him they have so many receivers to cover they had two on this side two tight ends on the other side so you get your wide receivers and you get your tight ends and boom they just pop the back right through there in dorsey levens and brett flarv can always find him that's the big thing you can have guys open but the quarterback doesn't always find them long wells extra point is good and the packers lead seven nothing 5 48 left to play in the first quarter green bay on top defenders here they got the two tight ends so that takes these defenders then that leaves no one for the back doors 11. you see and this is a formation thing they got all the coverage over here all the coverage on the right side and look at the middle wide open for dorsey levin thanks to coakley was watching brett favre sort of mirroring him and i think he was looking for an inside cut from one of those two tight ends on the right hand side [Applause] this is herschel walker walker burrows out to about the 26. [Music] brett favre told us yesterday that you know sometimes he's going to jump in like this remember last year once dorsey levins went in there like that and he came out full of beer and he smelled it like brett farmer talked about that yesterday he smelled awful he got back in the huddle he couldn't stand him yeah he said he smelled like beer the whole rest of the game i think that time he came out fresh i think he went in uh relatively fresh and came out relatively fresh as miller in motion is aikman comes back to throw mass is incomplete intended for bjornsson sat up there yeah and then the team also you know you know covered the cement down straight ahead biggest gain of the day for dallas dallas first first down yeah until that play there right there dallas's offense was minus six yards but again you know you're always looking and you're thinking it's going to be the tail back and then they just hand it to the fullback seeing the counter type of thing in fact that's the same play that the redskins ran last week against the cowboys that's exactly right yeah i mean everyone is keying them at smith we got to stop emma smith and then you slip it on a counter to the fullback two tight ends lefleur in motion eggman back to throw here comes the blitz caught by fjords and jordanson gets about five brian williams made the tackle you know one of the areas that the the packers fouled in fritz shermer and talking to roy butler and and to reggie white that that they've never played the dallas cowboys aggressively that they've always been whipped and mauled at the line of scrimmage and they kind of sat back too much and in this game they're going to try and do all those things different they're going to go after them they're not going to sit back and they're going to try and maul their offensive line second five here's emma smith almost broke it brian williams tripped him up but another dallas first down you know and that's a heck of a match-up i mean reggie white isn't what he used to be but when you get reggie white and eric williams you're getting two of the best players that have ever played their position eric williams has an offensive tackle and reggie white has a defensive lineman but look at that contact i mean those are just two big balls hitting heads first and ten dallas at midfield they show blitz and emmett smith shows him a first down cowboys to the packer 35. there's where they miss gilbert brown and gilbert brown's coming in right now in fact gilbert brown looked at that run up the move up the middle and he started hitting his chest and he just ran in because this is what they're doing they're just going to come right in this area here and and you see that that's if if gilbert brown isn't in there and they get that three-man line they get a little lead block by herschel walker herschel walker got a lead block there emmett smith was right in behind him the key block was by larry allen on kaversky most key blocks will be for larry alex he just buried him caught by johnson inside the 20. [Music] eugene robinson made the stop watch this now here's nate newton now watch nate newton he's going to come down here because you know that they're going to just try and knock clay shiver the center back so he's going to get some help from his guard and watch when big nate newton comes down on him he just slides on him and then just take that right hand boom just puts him right to the ground that's about 700 pounds those two guys 700 pound a guy man oh nate left early that time he got so excited offense seems to follow him into this area inevitably once they get in this area they get penalties they get fumbles here's emma smith to the 21. [Applause] you know prince shermer was saying yesterday that the gilbert brown's box is about right in here he said you know because right at him right in that box second and fourteen you would expect a blitz you're gonna get one but the pass is complete the bjornsson bjornsson gets down to about the 11-yard line where he's knocked out of bounds not enough for a first you know push up the middle now clay savage probably happy as heck when gilbert brown goes off the field big gilbert just waved his arm and knocked shiver aside here's aikman back to throw with time this time incomplete almost intercepted williams pulled up and aikman led him to the inside and that was one of the new formations a new field goal from 29 yards out with jonson holding he's hit 30 this year already i don't know how that one got through but it did look like a knuckleball like somebody shot it on the way there but the cowboys are on the board seriously all those things will run through my mind you know what i mean [Applause] schrader will knocked out of return at about the 30. mike holmgren said yesterday that he didn't want schrader to be the returner he was going to have him back there on kickoff returns that he doesn't trust him anymore as a returner because he's fumbled so often humble three times he said he's going to put don beebe back there he was a returner mike holmgren has never beaten dallas oh and seven yeah and he said he said before they get rid of me or put me away or do something with me i would like to do that i would like to beat dallas now he's got him on his own playground and they lead 7-3 at the end of one here's 5 11. evans almost had something working by thomas that's the same thing if you look at that formation again you see it was three wide receivers we saw a bb in there and they try and sell you that it's a passing formation we're going to pass and then they run a draw play on you [Music] that was the last play of the first quarter and the score at the end of one at lambeau the packers seven the cowboys three wisconsin yesterday we went out in the woods to talk to some of the deer hunters this morning at 7 00 a.m it's quite a quite a ritual it works out pretty good you get the morning and evening hunting and the football games are in the middle of the day so it works out fantastic a gearhead thing comes first every year it only comes once a year and i'm always out deer hunting that's a big game i wish they would have won last week because if they would have then i probably wouldn't be here today [Applause] as a big debate as to whether you come to the packer game or go deer hunting stream pass to henderson knocked down by godfrey or strickland becky pardon i don't i don't think there'd be any debate i think you come to the football game if you've got the dallas cowboys they've been waiting the green bay packers the players the coaches the organization ron wolf the fans you have been waiting so long to get dallas here in green bay at lambeau field then what the heck about hunting you can hunt well there were 650 000 hunters out in the woods on saturday night that's a lot of hunters well i don't know where to be on saturday night but i know where not to be on saturday night i'm not going to be in the woods i don't think barb gives the weapons and he's going to be tackled or what is almost over behind the line of scrimmage he breaks out to midfield that's a heck of a run [Applause] they had him and he got away better go hunting for him you talk about dorsey levinson being so big and strong and and running outside but also having good movement i mean you watch him here he's going to start like he's going to go off tackle and then stop now it doesn't look like there's a cut back here because there really isn't and there's really no missed tackles but he's just going against the ground i mean that was good that you know you know the cowboys were coming right down the line everyone was in a lane and he just cut right back against the whole grain of them at midfield far flag on the play as far as tripped up and down he goes henning run to levinson illegal formation offense number 72 lined up in the backfield the penalties decline second down second at 14. you're talking about brett favre the thing about him to me is that he has such a good time playing [Applause] from his safety spot to make the stop yeah brett favre was a football player i mean he he enjoys every part of it i was out there and watching practice on friday and you know everyone kind of bundled up they have sweat so they have hooded sweatshirts and all that he's out there in a in a shirt and a pair of shorts yeah i mean he's no wonder he's got a snapchat well that's what mike holman says he said the guy never wears any clothes you know then he he doesn't wear socks so when he wears some of those shower shoes he wears shorts around when it's you know 10 below zero and he likes to play football two tight ends flips off the corner for the cowboys the pass is caught by derrick mays good catch and a hurried throw and it was good defense by the cowboys because what they did he even though derrick mays caught that that pass it wasn't enough for a first down so you're going to give them some of those things they get in there with four wide receivers and you're going to give them some things in front of you but you're not going to let them get enough yardage for the first down deion sanders back for hendricks hunt i just got a feeling dion's about ready to break one [Music] signal's fair catch cowboys will take over at their own 19. 7-3 the score there's darren woodson heading for the locker room i don't know yet what's the problem you know and that's a big part of that cowboy defense not only against the pass but he's a big run player outside to urban his his completion percentage just against the green bay packers is like over 70 that's herschel walker the ball comes flying out but late gabe wilkins made the stop darius holland by the way has replaced reggie white and with big gilbert brown in there again i don't know that you're going to make much going straight up the middle i mean the gilbert brown the last time anyone saw him get weighed he weighed 351 pounds i mean that's that's a test or two that someone saw and and he hasn't worked out he didn't work out all week so you know i mean he could be weighing he could be weighing anything now there's reggie you can't move him that's lefleur in motion and aikman back to throw with time throwing almost caught through michael irvin's hands this is a great matchup woodson john is that he's a strange shoulder and he may or may not be back here social walker that same play again this time it doesn't surprise the packers would be a key loss for dallas well as you said you know the key because he's a big part of their past defense but he could be the biggest part of their run defense also and then you talk about about uh running and then who's who has stuff to do on the running defense look at gilbert brown when he's in there they have no yards to the left two to the middle and none to the right and then and then when he's not in there that's when they got that big 34 yarder third and seven here comes the blitzers sneaking up and the cowboys pick it up pretty well paz is caught by stepfrit williams but i think he's out of bounds he is out of bounds he is in that step for william number 50 offense his decline fourth down play scheiber number 50 offense is just against santana dots in there dotson gets by him and shiver just tackles it but again stepford williams was too close to the sideline and troy aikman had no place to throw that ball [Applause] gohan's kick is a good one derrick mays will return it maze gets out to about the 33 where the packers take over 7-3 the score with 9 25 left to play in the first half in the direction that derrick mays has to feel that punt is a very bright sun and i guess calls for sunglasses yeah he put the sunglasses on i watched him in the uh in the pre-game warm-up when he was down in that area he was wearing sunglasses and and so this is something that derrick mays had planned to do first down green bay far fakes to levins drops it out to henderson right now again for mcdonald's game break let's return to joe packers seven cowboys three second quarter just under nine side minutes to henderson coakley's right there that's one thing you're not going to get away from dexter coakley there's no fullback that's going to run away from him because of all the linebackers in the in the nfl dexter coakley even though he's a rookie is is is the fastest and maybe the smallest and he's the smallest and you know you can block him if you can get to him but the thing is that you know 5 10 215 pounds but with great speed i mean he has like like corners he runs like four three four four that type of thing and he gets up in a hurry if you knock him down yeah and there's no and there's no pullback that is going to be able to run away from dexter completely [Applause] [Music] they picked up randall godfrey here's a great kick chases dion sanders back but this is when he can be dangerous sanders flags come flying everywhere two or three flags will frankenstein that's what they're throwing flags on now the first one was a penalty and the second one was for continual play after they blew the whistle continual play well continual fighting continual action continual groping and then you're grabbing punching pulling pushing that all brings flags now this now this has to be in reggie reggie reggie white and deon sanders are to clear the air they're going to take care of things yeah let's get over here and just clear the air before johnny greer doing the return holding number 87 will be declined personal foul locking for the other ways will be accepted two fouls both against the cowboys and they got the air cleared dionne and reggie did here comes further back in the hole seven threes back at lambeau field pat sumrall with john madden head coach mike holmgren of the packers his team's ahead seventh three mike holmer and one of the head coaches that calls his own plays about seven or eight in the national football league head coaches usually ex-offensive coordinators emmett smith the ball carrier and emmett out of bounds at about the 10. two hall of famers to play for both dallas and green bay and they both could really play one of them is here today in fact it wasn't on television so the viewing audience won't know who he was but he's the honorary captain of the green bay and the cost of the coin kaburski has replaced gilbert brown here's aikman back to throw michael irvin gets a dallas first down again the aflac tribute question who are the only two hall of famers to play for both these teams both the cowboys and the packers two very good players the one of which john spoke before forrest greg ex coach of the packers and her battery the great cornerback forest greg coach here left to go to smu holding call against dallas wipes out the first down holding against eric williams of all the players he ever coached that forrest greg was the best player was his best player and you think of vince lombardi and the packers and all those guys that's something very very special out of the end zone out of bounds at about the nine those are two ugly plays the dallas cowboys just run first of all the cowboys have not been able to convert on third down as yet i will say this that the that the packer defense is much more aggressive in this game than they have been another dallas cowboy game anthony miller this pass was behind the defender a bit it's about the only place miller could have caught him because he was well covered that was tyrone williams and how how that could happen tyrone williams is number 37 and and he and here's here's tyrone williams here and that ball is going to go right by his head he he's not looking but watch that ball come here he turns his throne right inside there we're talking about the accuracy of troy aikman and on that third down pass there you just saw it that's the only place that could have been complete i mean i mean he was throwing it between hands and heads the floor was the man in motion eggman going deep again incomplete intended for she got something that could be a little better maybe second and ten packers not showing blitz emma smith emmitt outside the 40 to about the 41 short of a first down but picked up about six gabe wilkins stripped him up well see they could run inside there and i think if i were the the cowboys that would be a big part of my running game plan if gilbert brown he's not in there i would run inside if gilbert brown is in there then i would go towards the edges like the cowboys started out doing but if you have kaburski in there one of those other guys in there you can you can work the inside of this this packer defense third and four the indianapolis colts certainly did last week they worked all areas of this packer defense as separate williams in motion aikman saw him jump so he took off on a quarterback snake [Music] the number 71 there you go there's no flag that's santana dodson he's one of the constants i don't think there was any penalty i mean i know there wasn't there was anything anything to call i think it was just a foul up you see if you watch troy aikman here he's just gonna get the ball and i think the ball was snapped because none of the other offensive lineman moved it was probably one of those things was supposed to be on three and clay schreiber snapped it on one [Music] gohan's kick fielded by maze at about the 12. and again the cowboys cover well 335 left to play before halftime the packers with the ball lead 7-3 gunner here it is it's billy davis now you have two outside guys you have a gunner on either side and when the ball is snapped they're the only two guys that can leave so the punt return team puts two guys on him and i don't know if you call that blocking or mugging or pulling or pushing or shoving or whatever it is but that's always a heck of a physical battle billy davis got the last push i love these games when you can see your breath of football evans gets the carry and there's nothing there fred strickland is the first man to meet him with fred strickland of course played two years here for the packers yeah i remember a couple years ago i was talking to an old tackle and he was six foot six and he says you know as he says an old lineman he says you can always tell if it's ever too cold to play he says if you're six foot six and you spit and it freezes before it hits the ground it's too cold to play if it doesn't freeze let's get after it that happened back at the ice bowl pass is complete to henderson short of a first down henderson has become over this season a respectable pass receiver here before he was just a blocker well we don't know what you thought about it we know that mike holmgren offense that that's exactly what it is you know that west coast offense we see darren woodson is back now but that west coast offense that fullback has to be a lead blocker and a pass receiver that's number two remember roger craig five he's got some room [Applause] by brock marion gets the first down we were trying to force him that they wanted him to go backside because i think when he goes to his left he's not as effective a thrower as he is when he's scrambling to his right 13-yard gain at so far at lambeau field 7-3 the packers lead the cowboys with two minutes left in the first half brett favre just scrambled for 13 yards the pass up the middle elevens to the 45. it's interesting that you say it's been rather quiet when mike coleman was talking yesterday he said i can see this game where you know we play and it's real tight not a lot of scoring and then we kick a field goal at the end and win the game i said is that the way you're going to see this game he said no no no no i think we'll be ahead more than that but but the way it is go it's going to be that type of game like brett favre didn't get the play in from mike holmgren and had to take a timeout so the packers have two left the cowboys have three minute and a half left first half means everything to me no way i'm playing a video game without the nfl i want the game that plays like nfl football i want a game that has all the nfl teams i want the game to get me to the super bowl again nfl quarterback club 98 the only officially licensed nfl game on n64 i think we have ourselves a new dynasty here acclaimed sports swept the details [Music] and brett favre said he didn't want to mess with dion he says you got to throw over there there's certain things that you can't throw on them he said you can't throw a comeback on them you can't throw a fade on them you can't throw an out on them and the only thing you can really throw is an inner crying loose and he was playing a zone on that one and he was just watching brett favre and reading him brett favre thought he was going to run off he didn't run off at all i just had a feeling remember the last punt i just had a feeling he was about to do that is his 14th touchdown by return a new nfl record and boy did that quiet he was looking in at the quarterback the ball blew off the tee again stick around for halftime jb and terry and howie and ronnie all on hand they'll analyze the first half that's all next on the dockers khakis halftime report i just hope they saw that one they had their backs to it and dion sanders picked off a brett farm and i don't know that they they're going to be able to analyze that one the ball flew off the tee so usually they let it do once and then the second time then they have to get a holder in there see herschel holder now you shouldn't blink and he shouldn't let go you have to keep that finger there don't let the finger go and he didn't short kick it's amazing how that affects the kick that's traitor [Music] here's the touchdown let's just watch here's dion sanders right here and again you expect that you're going to run him off and you just watch him you see he's just playing zone zone zone just sitting square looking back at brett favre brett favre expected him to be run off brett favre expected him to have his back deion sanders was just sitting there and he threw it right to him dion sanders runs very very little zone he's usually man-to-man and up in that type of thing [Music] what he does run and when he does get the ball he runs very very fast that pass complete to chamura i think that was the the first completion to his tight end today right less than a minute barb trying to get his offensive unit to hurry up gets it out to henderson that's about his fifth reception of the day it's one of those for nine yards because there was dexter cochlear on him again and henderson isn't going to run away from cochlea and coakley isn't going to miss too many tackles so far takes a time out if you're going to move the ball down the field those little dump passes to henderson aren't going to get you there very quickly again a reminder coming up on the docker's khaki's halftime report joe i love him i love him man like brothers because we're all in this together and we all get top coach second nine here's far dancing around it's his tight end tomorrow the play before that was the first time that he hit mark chamira in the game and then he comes right back and hits him on back-to-back plays you know he was having trouble out there with the with the wide receiver so he found something he can do inside he had so much time he just spiked it to stop the clock was the intended target that was a shot they did fix the shot third down and 10. [Applause] that's freeman on the move and here's fog back to throw and again he has time the pass is caught by antonio freeman inside the 10 with nine seconds left and green bay used their last timeout and here's antonio freeman you see him he starts in motion and then he comes back to where he originally lined up and then he he runs off with bb bibi goes deep and drives drives the zone deep and then antonio freeman comes underneath they got no timeouts the packers so they have time to throw the ball in the end zone and that's exactly what they're going to do i mean i'm sure that mike holmgren told brett favre you have to throw it in the end zone you have to get rid of it quickly you can't take a sack [Music] so that this is going to be one of those they'll probably throw a a slant or a cross something a quick three-step drop one two three boom and if it's incomplete of course they still have time then that'll stop the clock and they get the field goal team on the field puts one of his tight ends in motion and there's the penalty marker down they used up a second and i think that was mark chamira their tight end who came out of play went back in nine offense prior to the step exactly right still first down mark schumer writes some slanting slams anytime you go up and then to the inside this is a little tougher here freeman and mays both split out wide to the right the throw is high and incomplete and no flag intended for maze but well over his head it took off on far and now here comes the field goal unit now mike holmgren you know you saw that that one took three seconds he really just on the clock you really could do it one more time but i think he said that's enough let's let's get this field goal and try and tie the game up and go in tight at halftime five seconds left on the clock as the two head coaches look on from 32 yards out long well and the kick is good just sneak past the upright joe albizano perry switzer watching this game is 10 10 with one second to go and so far it has lived up to expectations well you know you came into this game and you and you just feel that that these teams are pretty evenly matched yeah and you know and you can see you know one advantage here one advantage here the packers defending world champions probably were a little better but they you know you know they have their injuries the cowboys aren't what they used to be but they have so many big playmakers and we see them and you gotta troy aikman throw into a michael irv and you have a dion sanders making the big play and as long as they have those guys they're they're still dangerous in any game they play look at the time of possession score of course is tied at 10 10. look at the time of possession there's one second left before half time green bay's had the ball 15 minutes dallas when they returned this kickoff but when they received this kickoff we'll have had it exactly 15 minutes low knuckling kick [Applause] and that'll be the end of the half scott galbraith took the kick and went out of bounds but all the time expired while he was in route 10 10. there's deon sanders the man who got the cowboys in the end zone brett favre that's the end of the first half with the score that's so ready what no i'm just going to say is this harder to do you know being an ex kicker when it when it's cold like that to make the ball soft before you kick it is that what you guys do i never did that but yes you did the ball gets harder yeah but you would squeeze the ball oh you did i didn't know that maybe i did as i think about it that's bill schrader let's go down now for a report from both coaches and from our pam oliver well pat mike holmgren said he was pretty pleased with the events of the first half he said he won't change anything for the second half his only regret is the interception by from brett favre uh barry switzer said that mainly he's pretty satisfied with the cowboys ability to run the football against the packers he wants to try to emphasize that again he's confident that the that the cowboys can run on the packers back to you that depends on pam whether or not gilbert brown's in the game or not and i think i think that's a pretty smart thing to do when gilbert brown isn't in the game work the middle and when he is in the game forget it gets it out 11. it doesn't get much [Music] coakley and tobert out to make the stop you know if we look at the cowboys running game when gilbert brown is in they've had made no yards to the left no yards in the middle and only three to the right so you know this this is where he plugs up i mean he's gonna he's gonna plug up that middle and you're not going to run in there you can run around him and you can run by him but when he's in there you can't run at him straight ahead is henderson stacked up in the middle by headings in a group omar stoutmayer in there remember he was the guy last week that uh hit leslie shepherd the washington redskins that's fine yeah i didn't think it was a penalty at the time and and in fact there was no penalty at the time and he got fined five thousand dollars didn't he that's a big big percentage of his salary he's a rookie from fresno state and he doesn't make a heck of a lot he does make a heck of a lot more than that per week seeing more and more playing time as the packers now have three wide receivers one lone back barb is back to throw it as time and completes it to derrick mays that'll be enough for first down stout buyer made the stop derrick mays has a chance to be a heck of a player you know in his second year out of notre dame and he has he has good size good moves catches the ball well and you know you know and he's he's a great third wide receiver because when you put a third wide receiver in like derrick mays then he's not always going to draw the toughest cover guys mike holmgren was saying yesterday that he has the best hands of any of the packer receivers he catches the ball better he doesn't like the way he acts sometimes so [Music] antonio freeman the target [Music] kevin smith back with him i was talking about derrick mays being a third wide receiver and you know he is when robert brooks plays because robert brooks is the flanker and antonio freeman is the x but now robert brooks isn't in there so now derrick mays becomes the x or the weak side receiver and antonio freeman becomes a z or the strong side receiver which is robert brooks's position brooks started made a key reception early but the report we got with from the packers is that he is dizzy playing with broken ribs henderson gets into that dorsey levens vega pardon for eight yards and it gets into dallas territory we were talking about how dorsey levins doesn't run a lot in the in the middle that you know he's more of a screen guy and he's a you know outside a perimeter runner but he weighs over 230 pounds so when he does run in the middle he can be effective it's just that you know that that with their guards and center that's not you know a strength the middle blocking is not a strength of this green bay packer team 11 again now that was a trap that was a great trap block by aaron taylor aaron taylor the left guard came across and he trapped the other side now we always talk about a trap what is a trap watch here's here's the guard aaron taylor he's going to come across and trap right here and levin's is going to run right off that trap box but watch that guy right there you see him come across and boom he gets that block right there and that opens the hole trap casinos yeah you let that guy come across like he's not going to be blocked then you come and block him from the other side [Music] first [Music] to me i'd say look at number 28 in a white jersey and that's what one is looks like he's up there for a blitz this time yeah he's right here there he goes far going deep for freeman incomplete and no flag there's the flag flags came from both sides freeman almost breaking clear [Applause] pass interference 21 defense up dion sanders got one for the cowboys and he's given up one here he is on this side you usually don't see dion sanders on this side you see him lined up in antonio freeman here he has a man-to-man antonio freeman gives him a little move and then he gets a step on him and then he continues the step and deion sanders puts his hands on it i mean he had him covered he didn't have to do that but by rule after he's after he's five yards you can't touch him you see darren whitson there he was trying to come on a blitz and he just can't do it because of his arm right now henderson gets the carry i'm not sure exactly what deion sanders was doing antonio freeman had to step on him dion sanders is the fastest guy in football he can catch him and i think he just lost his concentration and just put both hands on him and then the ball was in the air and of course that's a definition of pass interference and you look at woodson trying to rush far he just he might have had a tackle he might have had a sack if he had both hands and that's what dave campbell was talking about favre is a lot more dangerous when he scrambles or moves to his right side which he did on that play barb fakes fires deep in the end zone chimora touchdown packers and that is past protection i mean it's brett farm we said brett farm has to do it today he finds mark chamira his big tight end out of boston college but he had great pass protection look at the time that brett favre is going to have when he gets back here this is great pass protection he can look and look and he has time to find number 89 in the back and the end line [Applause] well for the extra point 17-10 green bay what's the touch look at the pass protection [Applause] madden 17-10 the packers just took the lead on the touchdown pass here's walker ball bounds into the end zone the herschel kneels about a yard deep here's the touchdown again yeah watch mark chamier he's a tight end here you know a lot of times people will zone the the the goal line but not cover the end line now watch what chamura does here where he goes inside then he gets in the end zone and then he just stops in first and then he works back towards the end line and and many times you you can get a lot of touchdowns in this league by throwing at the end line and not always at the goal line this is exactly what barb did just dropped it into the corner of the end zone here's emma smith emmett out to the cowboy 25 picked up five stopped by seth joyner gilbert brown back in the defensive unit for green bay you know again the you know that this is a passing league and it's a league of quarterbacks and receivers but you have to be able to run and you know in that last drive green bay was able to you know you know to get dorsey levins that's a run they got that trap where aaron taylor made a great breath got a few runs put the ring together gotta pass an appearance penalty and then finds his tight end in the end zone edmond smith again any two two more for first you see that's how they can run right by gilbert brown i mean you know that that you can go to the right or left at him you just can't go at him you see now here he is here now you can come in this area or you can go in that area but you can't go in this area now watch how they just get them turned in there a little and then they just go outside see his box isn't very big today he has a bad ankle you can't go side to side and a bad ankle equals a short box third and two walker goes in motion back to throw if he has time and he'll have a lot of time as he comes out that's incomplete intended for urban who couldn't hang on now you have to save some places that doug evans is doing a good job on michael irvin michael irvin wasn't the initial receiver on this phase with those sunglasses on as he's looking into a very bright sun a low sun at that end of the lambeau field golan's kick high should be covered well [Applause] and billy davis was there immediately he's lucky he held on before where he got mauled and that time he just splits the two guys he just runs right through him gets a step on him now they can't touch him and he times that perfectly now when you get hit like that that knocks some fluids right out of the top of your head left a little spray there on the side [Applause] this is a great combination that the packers have you know you know brett favre has been the mvp international football league the last two years and you know and able to throw and he has a lot of receivers wide receivers tight end and then and then dorsey levins running the ball this is a pretty good combination for mike holmgren where he never has to just do one thing [Applause] [Music] 13th carry of the day he's over a thousand yards and there haven't been a lot of packer backs in the history of the team to go over a thousand remember earlier in the season of course he took the place of edgar bennett and before edgar bennett was injured now for the season dorsey levins was kind of a spot player and he says that you know it's a big difference being a starter he said you get tired is there anything you do i said i don't know i haven't learned far drops it out [Music] he fights to stay on his feet one thing about schumer he is a strong guy it takes a whole bunch to bring him down but they got him on that one but they didn't get him with one i mean he can proudly say that they may have knocked me a little woozy yeah watch his legs i mean his legs aren't straight but there was no one guy did it there's one i straightened him up you know what i watched now there's two he didn't do anything three and they finally got me down with like the fourth or fifth guy second and six you can say that as he you know one of the the things that is different with this green bay packer dallas cowboy game is is that especially with the packer offensive line they're they're winning the battle of the line of scrimmage and they haven't turned the ball over just at one time and over the years they've lost that battle and of course a big part of it you know isn't there with the dallas cowboys anymore when you know charles haley isn't there and leon left's not there but this this group that's on offense now is beating the group that's on defense in the line of scrimmage [Applause] [Music] well maybe he didn't get a very good spot did he and that's what he's arguing about he says that he was beyond it he better get out of there he's going to get in trouble seeing brett favre knows it too he goes up and grabs derrick mays and said you get the heck out of there but it didn't look like like he had the first down he does have the first down they have two balls there one one short and the other one's long [Applause] but you know he's right by the marker and again we've talked about this how a receiver has to be aware and you can see that he catches the ball and he's well in front of the marker when the ball goes out of bounds yeah it's where the football is when his feet go out of bounds is the spot and no question but that he had the first down first and ten green bay just inside their own fifty [Applause] incomplete intended for freeman jammed his fingers and he probably dislocated a finger he did more than jammed it yeah that's one of those things you don't even want to look at that's what you do you just hand it to someone to pull back in place as you turn away sanders back there with him this happens a lot to wide receivers and defensive backs when they go up for the ball and the ball just hits him on the finger and that ball on a day like today is hard yeah and he looked down here you see antonio framing he looked down there at that finger and he knew that it wasn't pointing the same direction it was when he left the huddle second and ten packers just shy of the 50. [Applause] [Music] had a great year you know that's one thing that the cowboys i mean that's that's the strength of their defenses their is their secondary they have two corners and kevin smith and deion sanders that can play man-to-man and really free up the two safeties brock marion and darren woodson and they can do things like that they can blitz they can gang up on the run they can do all those kinds of things and then they become a strength third and seven three wide receivers nickel defense for the cowboys [Applause] [Music] thing quickly he has a hot read on the blitz that was his hot reed and he just got rid of that ball before you could even see him didn't even see the ball i mean derek mays is going to run a slant because he knows that he's going to have to shorten that pattern down and get there a little quicker watch derrick mays now he sees a blitz so he just breaks it off right there and look the minute that he turned his shoulders around the ball was right there first and ten bangs inside the cowboy 35 to the 34. and you see what we're seeing now is this is this packer offense is wearing down this cowboy defense and over the years you know we know that the cowboys have beaten him eight straight but the opposite is happening you know it has been that now the packers are playing like the cowboys the cowboys are playing like the packers the cowboy offensive unit hasn't been on the field very much in the second half well that's domination that's what this packer offense is doing and this packer offensive line [Applause] down here arguing i don't think brett favre misses a thing no i mean i think whatever goes on in the field and when you see him he thought he can roll play tennis and they used 10 balls to warm up he knew where every ball was he's up in the third row of the stands [Music] i'm sure brett favre knows where every ball that second is will move the sticks again hard running by dorsey levin good running good running and you can just see this offensive line of the packers is just wearing down this defense of the cowboys they're just pounding at him just pounding at him and you know a big part of it is a line blocking they've done some crap and a big part of his dorsey levin's running and it's also the big fullback william henderson doing lead blocking in there [Applause] first and ten packers again evans dragging people across the 25. [Music] now one thing that they're doing is they're running a lot but they're they're mixing up their formations and they're doing it from you know an eye formation they're doing it from an offset eye that play was from split backs you know we talked about guys calling plays mike holmgren is a head coach who calls his own player he's a great play caller second and five levins [Applause] but they're hammering away and the thing that they're doing know you're talking about how they're keeping the ball they've had three third downs on this drive and they've converted each of them and now they have another they have they have their fourth here but when we're talking to brett favre yesterday he said these are the situations that he wants to be in on third down not that third and eight or third ninth or third and ten but like third three or four or five he said they feel very comfortable in this situation [Music] that was brett favre in his starting count that's the third or fourth time he's gotten the cowboys today [Music] [Applause] defense that's just undisciplined defense there i mean at some point you have to know that let's listen again here to you know how brett favre does this i mean that shouldn't do that that's i mean by now you ought to know it yeah i mean you ought to know the guy's giving you some hard count the guy's changing his count i mean you know if it happens in the first quarter the first few plays you do it but but now you have to be disciplined to know hey that's what they're doing that's four times now they've converted back to the third team now for a mcdonald's game break let's return to joe buck at the box tillam there was a flag and a personal foul called against the cowboys shantae carver [Applause] yeah here's shantae carver here and you can see again they've just been whipping them on the line of scrimmage ross berber is whipping him there and then and then he just goes and hits verba i mean that's that's stupid i mean that's you know i mean you got undisciplined play and then you have stupid play and discipline was plus i don't know if ross is one of those guys that you want to hit i mean he's a he's a rookie and all that but but he's a pretty tough guy yeah in fact i remember stories about training camp and they said that this guy in training camp got in a fight every day every day and he's one of those guys i mean he's he's just a big scrapper and he's going to get in there and scrap with you all day and he's been strapping with shantae carver and winning the scrap all day and shantae carver just got frustrated three tight ends [Applause] five [Applause] you don't think this guy has a monkey on his back you don't think that he's tired here why can't you guys beat the cowboys you don't think this isn't a game of emotion you don't think that brett favre plays quarterback like he's a nose tackle ten seconds left to play in the third quarter kimura just sort of scored his second touchdown long well for the extra point cowboys i believe have only run three plays in the third quarter the cowboy defense is a whipped unit [Applause] yeah chunk your beak with country vegetables with more beef than any other soup mmm lean beef potatoes vegetables chucky always hits the spot where'd you get that outfit can't talk let it go just wanna make sure you're eating good that's my mind oh yeah which one campbell's chunky soup it's loaded with beef here you can see that they have three tight ends in there and no one covers them i mean he just goes straight up in the end zone and turns around and there's not a cowboy around him and when brett favre sees something like that you know you're gonna get six points long wells kick off sailing down to herschel walker walker's facing his feet to the 30 31. in the third quarter now with 10 seconds left well that's the last play of the third quarter green bay ran 25 plays dallas ran three that's the end of the third quarter with the score 24-10 green bay leading fox nfl sunday will continue after these some banned tradition the old tuba march you don't see an old tuba march uh much not many of them you do that between the third and fourth quarter they'll give you a tuba march the highlight of the [Applause] picked up five perhaps well you know those things go together though i mean you know when you think of your football and and lambeau field and green bay and you come in here and down lombardi avenue and you know the regular grass and the tradition and everything that's here between the third and fourth quarter you should have a tuba march i've been coming here since the 1950s and that's the first uber march i've seen well they say that every every game they have a tuba mark rather than they just haven't been located correctly incomplete intended for urban you know what i do oh he came down i just saw him he came running out there he is right there in his top coat i don't know that it might be too late yeah i don't know that he's going to be able to do the same thing or have the same results that he had that have been dropped three wide receivers [Applause] separate williams enough for first you know it's interesting how stepford williams comes in now and it seems like to me that he's really troy aikman's go-to guy on third down yeah and you know he is a third down or nickel receiver and he likes him i mean he you know you know finds him and you know he's able to find it if you look on third down they've thrown to him 29 times he's made 17 catches and little stepford williams has made 14 first down and he is very slight little here comes the packer blitz his aikman back to throw it going for her who's got it at the 20 out of bounds at about the 21. [Applause] seth joyner came on a blitz and just ran right over a blocker and almost got to aikman but aikman stood in there and he found michael irvin down there watch the blitz you're going to see the blitz come right up here and then you're going to see the pass out to that side see there he is watch that i mean there's and and that was very very close and troy aikman just stood in there and threw a perfect pass to michael irvin first and ten at the green bay 21 emma smith gonna walk in [Applause] what a run that was jerry he's gonna start believing this stuff jerry jones maybe he wasn't late no he didn't have anything to do with that one that was just good blocking and just good quick running by emmett smith maybe you get the feeling that the packers had to have the ball that whole third quarter and this team just haven't watched is going to run right into this side emmett smith is in i don't think he gets touched i mean a great block there by george hageman yeah george hageman just comes down and collapses that whole left side you know what else run anywhere dude [Applause] extra point is good it's 24-17 didn't take long to tighten things up great block by george hageman here on fox right now we are talking 24-17 green bay leading dallas it's going to be straighter to return it got some room and out of bounds out to the packer 39 where the offensive unit heads back on for the green and gold edgy white christmas trees up in the christmas presents up in the trees that give you an indication of the temperature with the wind chill it's down to about zero the streets are vacant they're all here or deer hunting or they they can be in their houses watching and watching this on television too you could shoot like cannons down those streets though not in anything other than a branch on a tree green bay is a fun time it's one of the few stadiums where you're driving this thing away lambo field far back to throw chase is far he's done his feet and scrambles for about eight yards and looked like nothing yeah and dave campbell was saying that we don't want him to scramble to his right that's when he's he's that dangerous but that's what he does i mean you can't stop him i mean if you could stop him then he wouldn't be able to scramble to his right i mean he can do that and the advantage he has is he has good speed he's a tough guy he's a competitor but he also has a ball in his hand and he uses the football to just like to just point it at some guy and that will always bring a defender's hands down and hold him and he stayed in bounds he gives 11. he's taken down by coakley with an assist from mathis but darren woodson down on his all fours over on the side he's really hurting what a warrior has you said before you know he had a player i mean i mean today he has a he has a shoulder you can see the the right arm is taped you know to hold his shoulder in place we know that last week in the last play of the game he hurt his ankle we know that you know three weeks ago he injured his knee so you can go from the bottom of his you know his toes up to the to it to his head and he has another injury at some point you've got to ask yourself are we better off without him out there i don't think so here's evans again chased by coakley first down and this is what dorsey levins does so well is his start inside and then bounce it to the outside and everyone knows that too i mean he's going to start inside like he's running off tackle he starts in there and then he he brings the defense in there and then holds him and then outruns them to the perimeter but on any good run a wide receiver has to get a block and you see don b he just he just pancaked kevin smith that's it for in the history of football don phibi's life that's the first pancake block he's ever had first and ten green bay lemons the line back 67 plan he called 11 to the 40. picked up a couple stopped by brock mariam you know brett favre was worried yesterday he has spread throat he said he said his wife has it and his wife lost her voice and he was kind of worrying about him losing his voice today but that hasn't happened at all this was an audible you you heard him on the line of scrimmage saying 67 slams 67 slant he ran to a bubble the bubble was on that side so he ran the 60 series into seven hole second and eight back to throw it what a catch antonio freeman i'm sure he's got a dislocated finger but he still came up with that catch it was just a minute ago we saw antonio freeman having a dislocated finger popped back into joint and he and and this is a bret far fastball too i mean he comes in here against a zone and he just hooked and he had to lay out and stretch i mean that thing didn't hit him between the eight and the six he had to go get that one but brett favre with his arm he could throw into holes and he could throw into a hole where his guy can go in the hole and get it and a defender can't react to it and a defender doesn't think it's any way the ball can get in there [Music] dexter coakley's had an outstanding game yes if if if you can keep a blocker and a lot of the the cowboy defense is designed that way to keep blockers off of dexter coakley he can run and catch any running back in his league and he's a good tackler too i mean he can do something about it when he gets here the problem is is when you get a blocker on him and get him cut off second at 12. henderson is out the extra tight end comes in you know who's playing well today is is a left tackle right here ross verbal tyrone davis is in the game he's far back to throw it looking across the middle of evans who's taken down inside the 25 at about the 23 not enough for her first it'll bring up another one of those clutch third downs and they've been a masterful yeah converting so far in the last couple plays we saw a dre a brett favre drill one and then we see him just take it off and just throw a little touch pass i mean he can do that i mean he can put any speed or velocity on it you want him as hard as anyone could throw it he can throw it that hard and he could put as much touch on it as anyone third timeout called by green bay packers leading 24-17 for 17 the packers lead the cowboys 8 25 left to play third and eight green bay at the dallas 24 yard line [Applause] man open flag on the play flag on the play was freeman [Music] penalty marker damn [Applause] and again part of this is protection we're going to see antonio freeman right here he just comes and he's working on a on a cross and then he decides to get away in fact it was darren woodson who was holding him he was trying to get across on darren wilson couldn't get across him so he just went up [Music] but watch brett favre buy some time now good pass protection a little scramble by brett favre and improvising by antonio freeman team left to play at lambeau field with green bay leading dallas 31-17 long well set to kick it off walker and marion back deep that's herschel walker picks it up on the banks and walker bangs away out to the 30. so the cowboys will take over with back in lambeau field 31-17 packers over the cowboys 807 left to play ring of honor around lambeau i think these fans were waiting for this moment when it got to be where it looks like they have it they were waiting you know to let it all out they didn't want to let it out too soon but i think they feel comfortable at 31-17 hey listen to him and complete the smith and right now for mcdonald's game break it's second enchantment lambo 31-17 packers leading the cowboys here's aikman back to the throat urban incomplete and a flag on the play and they're probably going to call that against doug evans probably michael irvin has only caught three pounds first down dallas aikman drops [Applause] irvin so then the rest of their defense could do more aggressive moves second and four lefleur in motion to throw [Applause] first down to bjornsson this game is presented by authority of the national football leagues intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcasts or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the green bay packers and the nfl is prohibited i know what mike holmgren's feeling right now seven minutes left can be the longest seven minutes of football you got him down and you just want it to get over with now it's been a long dry spout for mike holmgren the green bay packers against the dallas cowboys walker in the backfield with smith deep eggman overthrows anthony miller the intended his back is feeling pretty well but uh i mean reggie's not the same project that he used to be but reggie white is one of the greatest players that has ever played in the national football league miller just left the game aikman back to throw in completely intended for bjornsson most of them have never been to lambeau field and what it's like to play here is a little bit different aikman gives on the delay to emmitt smith and he is hammered immediately by santana dawson santana dodson is one of those guys that is kind of the the go tackle you know he's going to take off on every play which he did then we got emmett smith before emmitt smith even got close to the line of scrimmage that's santana johnson i mean he is up here and he's going to he's going to take a move right now you see he makes a move and then he goes sideways makes himself small goes in the hole sideways comes out the other end and there's number 22. and so the cowboys will punt the clock still running i coached his dad with the oakland raiders his dad was a good football player alphonse johnson remember him derrick mays signals fair catch back at the packer 11 and so green bay takes over 602 left they lead 31-17 oh john madden back at lambeau field 31-17 the packers lead the cowboys with six minutes and two seconds left yeah that's a sight that you don't see much as is his young kids at nfl games anymore that's right i mean young kids wearing stuff like that you don't see that either but something we need playing young kids yes we do [Applause] 11's the carry seven out of seven on third down in the second half that's the packers yeah i mean the packers went in at halftime and they did some talking and whatever happened they've really had the ball the whole the whole second half and and completely dominated uh you know the the cowboys did get that one touchdown with emmitt smith and so on but other than that uh uh they've really dominated and especially this area right here this the the packer offense it just worn them down yeah and you know brett favre had to do it brett favre did it i mean he's thrown four touchdown passes and scrambled he's been so aware and played so well [Music] gets close to another first down [Applause] you know here's here's a group i mean this ross verb of the left tackle's done an excellent job aaron taylor the guard he's starting to become a pro bowl player we saw him in a trap frank winters old bag of donuts in the center and in fact yesterday brett favre was saying probably the guy that he could ill afford to miss is his center frank winters adam timmerman the right guard big earl dotson the right tackle i mean that group has dominated the defensive line of the cowboys today well you and ron wolf were talking yesterday about who's the best offensive line in the nfc i think today you'd have to save this group still on his feet pounds outside the 30 to the 31 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] not only does he have to make the calls and all the adjustments but then he has to make a block too and they start a good double team on chad hennings they get him down and that's the start of the hole for dorsey levin 27 carries 131 yards for levins a new career high for dorsey packers move the sticks and that's what they needed to do a big part of it is levins and part of it is henderson and another big part is the offensive line we just talked about here's levins again [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you see that that that one official gave the signal like forearm personal foul unnecessary roughness number 56 on the defense randall godfrey now these are just frustration families we saw shantae carver you know about a half hour earlier do the same thing we see randall godfrey doing it here those are the things that the packers have have taken it to him and you know and that's that's what happens and you know retaliation winners hit him first old bag of donuts he's he's one of those guys mike winters it's always down there cause in trouble and then walking away from it puts his hands up you're like what me i didn't do anything what have you explained bag of donuts well that's his nickname bag of donuts but you know i mean that's what if you look at him from his waist to his neck he looks like a bag of donuts that's what bill moss said about me yeah i disclaimer yet that's what he called a frankie bag of donuts henderson hit at the line of scrimmage [Music] today's game being produced by bob stinner directed by sandy grossman the associate directors mike royg place i'd rather be right now than right here i think that when you get into november and of course next i mean in four days we got another game in detroit and thanksgiving you can't beat that either but to go from lambeau field to detroit for thanksgiving day to kansas city which what we're going to do it doesn't get any better than that i don't think i you know i it's probably some of those people in that would have scored 31-17 they'd go someplace what are they doing here yeah that's a good question and they all stay close to get each other's body warm that's the key i think they always have something on their head because you lose heat in your head breaking away as darcy leavens and still going as leaven holy moly rock mary and finally got into the ground this crowd isn't going any place there's no place they'd rather be 30 yard run by 11. they've waited a long time to get the cowboys up here at lambeau field they've waited a long time to beat the cowboys and every one of them is going to enjoy it this is when football is fun when you're a green bay packer or you're a lineman and you've been working all day and now you've got things going your way this is what it's fun this is when all big old offensive linemen get smiles in their face and darcy levin's gonna have a smile on his face too there's levens again first down and out of bounds brock mary and knocks him out of bounds he's got to be close to 200 yards and you see what happens when you start to wear down a defense they're not as anxious to tackle as they used to be he's a load they're just coming and you got the trap black by taylor he didn't even have anyone to trap you got henderson on a lead he can hardly find the guy to block all the cowboy jerseys are going backwards levin's 30 carries 176 yards today i'll tell you this group that's in the huddle right down there now this group of green bay packers they have put a whipping on this dallas cowboy defense and they're not about to let up dorsey levins isn't that offensive line isn't there having too much fun here's five [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] against randall godfrey again i think he just took a swing and slugged brett in the head i think i think he just took a swing with his right hand and hit five one thing about brett favre though he's a tough quarterback he's not going to go out of bounds we're watching him there see coakley misses him he's staying back right there you see that [Applause] yeah that's his second one i mean that's just that's just a frustration penalty i mean you go you want to knock the guy out of bounds you want to do all those things but he just clubbed him right in the head [Applause] and sometimes sometimes when you're getting whipped that happens to you you get frustrated 225 left to play 31-17 the packers staring at the cowboy end zone again this has been a long time coming now where in the heck did that guy come i hope he hadn't been here a long time you have to worry about what he was going to wear today [Applause] [Music] that's his second touchdown of the day [Applause] i think dorsey levins has gained so many yards and taken so many hits today that he's too tired to even jump into the end zone even jump into the stand there's a flag on the play i think this is against this might look this one might be called back maybe that's why he didn't jump into the stands maybe that's why i didn't give the old lambo leap holy number 30 office anderson still first down before two [Applause] [Music] [Music] the last yeah but for mike holmgren you know it's what you did this year but you can't be you know you like you you did well but you didn't get a super okay he won a super bowl and now he's he's eliminating his last yeah but that's the one thing he said i hope i get that monkey off my back before they put me away or before i'm fired i wonder what you thought they were going to put them away too i heard them say that before they put me away there's levens again [Music] saying someone pinch me i can't believe this the two-minute warning 31-17 brett favre and deion sanders well of course they were teammates remember with the atlanta falcons in fact at that time dion sanders gave brett favre the nickname country time dion was prime time third and goal at the five and levins gets the carry 11's touchdown sets the backers all-time record that broke jim taylor's record for the most rushing yards in a game by a packer runner the green bay packers are having fun they remember the last time when they were in dallas where dallas set a record remember they set a field goal record 33 carries 190 yards for doors 11. so we'll get you up here at lambeau field and we'll set our own records [Applause] longwell's extra point is good and it's green bay 38 dallas 17 here's levin's record-breaking touchdown he still looks fresh doesn't he has been waiting a long time for this herschel walker [Applause] out to the 30-yard line i was just going to say about you talk about this crowd and these fans and you'd think with a score like this that the fans would be starting somebody would have left but i mean they're all still sitting here and it's something that it's a moment and they're going to make a moment and they're going to enjoy these moments and they're not going to walk away and sit in their car or be at a or be someplace else they're going to be right here and take it all in absorb this victory and the wisconsin band is going to do another series of marches numbers whatever the fifth quarter they call it wade wilson is the dallas quarterback wilson intended for the numbers i think if i were the doctor that's nate newton down now that you don't need it i mean at some time you have to call in the dogs and put out the fire because the hunt is over jerry jones on the sideline in front of the cowboys final score the jets beat minnesota [Applause] 23-21 [Applause] and tampa bay lost so the packers in addition to beating the cowboys will have sole possession of first place in the nfc central you know and that's that's another thing that this this group of fans can be celebrating today is there's a long-awaited victory over the dallas cowboys but then also they'll be in seoul possession of first place stay with us after the game is over bill moss maybe bill moss can talk about frankie bagadonis now here's something that shouldn't have happened you know with a score of 30 today no sherman williams is the running back sherman gets the carry from wade wilson [Applause] and a fumble loose ball sharper touchdown [Applause] there's a rookie getting his first lambo oh different sharper he still hasn't made it i don't know try to grab him too many gloves yeah i think i think that's a half a leaf that's like a lamborghini sharper's second touchdown this year he didn't get his lambo leap but he did get the football the extra point long well to make it 45-17 [Applause] it was 10-10 at the half and the packers took control [Music] [Applause] 45-17 a remaining schedule for the packers and it's no vacation minnesota tampa bay carolina and buffalo and for the cowboys tennessee on thanksgiving day followed by carolina on a monday night cincinnati and they close with the giants they'll have to regroup look at these fish they know they can sell them right now they didn't know it before they know now we got this one this one is under control bring out the towels bring out the cheeseheads bring out the we're number ones god has blessed green bay today you know only only in green bay can you have something like that here are the standings and the nfc central green bay will be nine and three five and one in the division minnesota and tampa bay eight and four [Music] minnesota three three in the division tampa bay two and four so green bay and a week ago after they lost to the indianapolis colts they were so low and i think that carried all the way over into today's game did they change that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the nfc eastern his officiating crew have been rather quiet illegal blocking the back today for the most part i think that yesterday barry switzer was saying he felt that if they could beat in green bay today getting beat this badly you wonder what's going to happen in their next four games well they have any chance at all you better run the table from here on in coming up on the nasdaq postgame report we'll get you up to date on all the biggest difference is is is then they were able to you know you'll make that run and get the best record in home field throughout with the 49ers out there this year they aren't going to be able to do that i don't think get home field throughout wilson hands up [Applause] homegrown doesn't even look like he's cold does he oh well you don't care now this this is the greatest feeling in the world i mean this is what what it's all about when you're a head coach and you've got a game like this and you've been waiting and you've had that thing and and the yeah but yeah but you can't beat the cowboys you finally do this is great and you don't just beat them you beat the dickens out of them yeah and you and you get something that they can never say about you again they can't say you can't beat the cowboys they can't say you can't win the big one they can't say you can't win the super bowl heck you've done it all this play of the game is brought to you by energizer [Applause] and this is the one that broke the 10 10 time that was the score at the half and it's as far to the tight end shimura the back of the end zone now you see the time that he had he had time to look to his right the pump fake and then find his big tight end right now let's go down to pam oliver thanks pat uh with the star of the game here dorothy levins you turn into a fine runner in this league tell me how you were able to have so much success against the cowboys today the guys up front just brought it all together william henderson did a great job blocking you know and the more they expect me the more i got into a zone i felt more comfortable and the guys were smart just making huge holes for me you glad to finally get rid of the cowboys to finally have that distinction of having at least have some success against them i think so you know that monk has gone up back for a long time they beat a seven in a row it feels great you can't believe how good it feels we always knew if we got him here it'd be a completely different story that's exactly what happened congratulations dorothy and thanks a lot let's move over to brett favre brett great game for you today that monkey's off the back huh well yeah i guess you can call it that but you know the bottom line is dallas has beat us down there fair and square finally you know we put a full game together and being a good football team now the only blemish for you i guess would be the interception of dion i know you guys were joking a little bit at the end of the game well i played against dion a long time he picked me up from college for a touchdown i was just giving him a little uh a little grief about it and uh he's a great player he made a great play on it all right thanks brett um let's move on to frank here your center great job for you today as well tell me what this means because you got a pretty tough road ahead well it's a great win for us and uh we've been trying for last six years and we have not been able to get done we finally get them in green bay and it's a big point for us in green bay and uh we ran the ball well we have to continue to do that throughout the season let's talk about the battle at the line of skirmish which you guys obviously won but how tough was it in the trenches well it was tough early to go you know we just kept the running game and uh it kept on working so mike stuck with it and it paid off to the end tell me a little bit about dorothy he's really turned into quite a weapon for you guys though he's a great back he runs the ball hard he's the kind of guy gets strong as the game goes on and you know a lot of carries today and yeah it's probably one of the greatest running back the best game in his career all right thanks frank thanks for stopping by let's go back upstairs to pat all right thank you pam and congratulations to the packers 45-17 over dallas and the monkey is indeed off their back their love
