Browns vs Cowboys 1994

before and the cowboys and we're underway [Music] and links to the 25-yard line tripped up by Benny Thompson one of the special teams stars in the NFL it's 2 and 8 Newton step nosce these are Pro Bowl names canard and Allen for the injured area Williams Troy Aikman returns after a two-week hiatus Emmitt Smith's with his blocker Darryl Johnston Alvin Harper leads the league and yards per catch Michael Irvin sensational again and Jay Novacek the reliable tie in tight end when they go to the three wide Kevin Williams is the slot Bakeman starts from the 25 his left knee in a protective brace comes out throwing but he's shy to michael irvin out at the 42 the Browns defense no stint year defense in the league are averaging just twelve point six points allowed Burnett Johnson Jones Pleasant a young aggressive line banks and Johnson former Giants give it stability along with Frank stamms and Tonio Langham has been one of the prized rookies in the league from Alabama at one corner Griffin at the other Steven Moore and Eric Turner are the safeties and Caldwell and both come in in the nickel [Applause] [Music] again to throw Sonoma chicken almost intercepted by pepper Johnson he thought he had it and dick those first two passes I believe by Dallas were to check out Troy Aikman see how it gets set up one two three four five sets up normally with Troy Aikman is healthy he is the quickest guy in the league away from center now he's not he's going back rather gingerly here again the brace is on the left knee this is a double zone and they're trying to get Noah check down in the middle that's all for two for Troy Aikman trying to find out what he can and can't do early here Kevin Williams slotted right as he goes to three wide three straight passes and he parents will be called on man [Applause] a credit to this young man a rookie out of Alabama wait and go might call it the other way let's check this a little push by Harper and it was declined dick went out the man with the white hat today three passes and out for the Dallas Cowboys and John jet averaging 42 and a half a punt this year middle of the pack of NFL kickers here Metcalfe you see the star two touchdowns returned enfants can be a game breaker Coleman Texas do they kick to him is the question more and more Metcalfe not getting the ball cocoon toward the sidelines and indeed out of bounds it will be around the 35 yard line very 32 very interesting choice by Dallas if he's going to catch it make him catch it run in sideways Vinny Testaverde as the Browns have the ball for the first time Tony Jones Dawson Steve Everett in his second year regarded as one of the top young linemen in the league Bob doll in Orlando Brown to protect Testaverde and open the holes for Eric Metcalf and the leading Cleveland rusher and Leroy hoard Michael Jackson been out half the year with a hamstring Derrick Alexander fresh from 171 yard game last Sunday against the Giants Brian Kenton the tight end Jackson and Alexander to the left they go with two tight ends Frank Hartley from the right side and then lunges for a couple out to the 35 the Dallas Cowboy defense reads this way Tolbert maryland he as nick but wanted to start the Cowboys defense has been intact all year no one has missed a start Vic cat Leon let Charles Haley has 10 and a half sacks Edwards Jones Smith the backers Kevin Smith and Larry Brennan of the corners in the hitters are James Washington and Darren Woodson Kenneth Gann clinical [Applause] second down seven [Applause] [Music] with a good charge and close to a first down at the 42 Darren Smith led the charge and we may have a measurement barry switzer life returns to this coach who started at the campus of the university of oklahoma norman and then out of work for several years until his old arkansas buddy Jerry Jones gave him a call and said got a crazy idea cid a lot of people still think it might be crazy better work he came in here kept the same schedule he kept the same routine he approaches the game a lot differently than Jimmie Johnson he treats the players more as men gives them their leeway and the players have responded but he knows what he's doing he push buttons leeway with responsibility yes that's true in the preseason couple young kids went out and acted foolish and he went to the veterans and said hey take care of these kids this is your team first down for the Browns [Applause] Oh Jackson inside the 30-yard line covered by Kevin Smith Testaverde giving him a little more lead that could have been a touchdown one of the things we were told was that the Cleveland offense was going to take some chances where's Jackson been out seven games with the fat hamstring just coming back now in Vinny Testaverde he's accused of a lot of things but he's always been able to throw the long ball deep very very well dick first down at the 28 [Applause] in the former University of Michigan star plows to the 21 a gain of six or seven and that might have been more but he ran into his own blocker a dick even admitted I'm not a pretty runner you want to see the pretty runner in the gate today's game you watch him it he runs into the back of the offensive lineman but he keeps chugging probably his greatest attribute he never gives up on a play duck Dawson number 69 got a little bruised in his back there Belichick on the sideline he said that he didn't have to drag anybody on the plane to come down here this week this is what a player dream zone get to play the super bowl champions and eleven more yards in a very impressive opening drive by the Cleveland Brown and the Browns have found something here they're going to tight ends and it balances the defense you see the double-team by 66 Tony Jones down on Robert Jones the middle linebacker and a nice little slide by Leroy hoard gets him right up to the line of scrimmage 28 yards in his first four carries ball right on the 10 yard line one comes in [Applause] no game it green all day Friday and yesterday the lying the beautiful sunshine we saw this morning and so the carpet is slick and we've seen a couple of miss plays already there was a tarp on the church but because of the hole in the stadium and the crown here on the field a lot of it collects from the hash marks out so it's going to be awhile before this turf dries out Valis tough early defensively [Applause] screen it two more [Applause] we executed this is well disguised by the Cleveland Browns duck Dawson out in front he doesn't slip in again hailey strips the ball away number 94 Jones weather recovery a wasted drive and that granite turnover and just a birdie from [Applause] [Music] [Applause] see big players to make big plays watch Charles Haley cut to the ground by Tony Jones he gets up off the ground and goes back and strips the ball away from horde recovered by Jones the drive for naught for Cleveland and for Cleveland made a song they've heard much too often of late fumble fumble fumble that's the ninth they popped up in the last three games Plus that drive [Applause] Dallas gets it on the twenty touchback [Applause] 46 touches the ball 26-yard nice little puffs toss sweep here big plot by moose Darrell Johnson out front in all Emmett's Emmett Smith complained to us that he wasn't getting the yards and big chunks this year that he was facing an eight-man front for Cleveland at the outset here going with a seven man front not committing that extra safety look at the blocking by Novacek Eric Turner finally gets him out of bounds big pickup Dallas Emmett spent at age 25 over 7,000 career rushing yards he's the 21st player [Applause] out to the 46 yard line of the Browns before dawn Griffin the corner can chop him down dick Browns defense they want to they want to save those old guys back there the defensive backs for urban and Harper they do not want to commit a safety that eight guy and it would be Eric Turner to stop the run but on those two rushes now the defensive coordinator Nick Saban's got to think wait a minute do I have to put that eighth guy up there I don't want to but I may have to second down to Smith denied the first down a gain of one at the 45 but Emmitt Smith starting this game the way he is hit the NFL like a Texas tornado number 22 three straight NFL rushing titles and going for number four but Barry Sanders in his way man from Pensacola Florida has 19 touchdowns well Jim Brown won the title eight out of nine years five in a row and Smith Earl Campbell Steve Van Buren three straight there's the great Cleveland Brown Jim bro [Music] with the stuff so Emmitt Smith after not touching you all on the first down this possession now has 40 yards on four fries in this drug you know back to that graphic when we talked to him it he he wanted that rushing title he wanted at big time he still he doesn't wish any bad luck to Barry Sanders but he's you know it very happens to stub his toe I'd still like to a good shot at that rushing title but with Barry Sanders performance today it's out of reach [Music] Antonio Langham had an interception it would have been his third of the year but the rookie couldn't pull it down [Music] hard to overthrow Michael Urban Roberta has got great leaping ability just like Harper does but to this point the akemon doesn't look sharp normally there's a lot of zip on that ball he generally does not overthrow receivers he may under throw them he was a little tentative on Tuesday with that knee brace in practice but he's still experimenting on exactly what he can do here dick feeling his way for three back to Troy Aikman yeah that bad left me where you really can't get down your weight down over that front leg when you're throwing that means you're up higher and that means you usually chase the ball high you're right but the Dallas Cowboys players have been so successful as a group these guys fight to get back on the field from injury a lot of them probably come back on the field prematurely but Barry Switzer says you know what greater attribute can you have as a player you're not keeping me out of the lineup again Rory Quinn says he wants to play he's going to play third and a long five [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so many weapons this offense just dictates to the defense what it wants you to do this is man coverage tight coverage inside Don Griffin look at the size of Michael Irvin he just shields grip and away from the ball again Griffin city inside urban still gets the inside release and Aikman hits him right on the money these two receivers here Irvin and Harper changed the way corner backs are drafted in the NFL they're looking for much bigger kicks Michael Dean Perry enters the game for Cleveland close to another first down Frank stamms Don Griffin get him out of bounds no but check must be left out he's the only one who could not get the ball to his way but urban Harper they give it the hammock and then they give it the darryl johnston out of the backfield now that's a little that's a little appetizer you know they give him the pass they expect him to block Leroy hoard doing so well on the Cleveland Browns drive seven plays 67 yards but fumbled at the one into the end zone and Dallas took over in the 20 and now have driven to the 11 make that the 16 intercepted Eric Turner was sitting there he could taste it he was hoping the ball would be thrown and that was overthrown by Troy Aikman got out of ground again watch troy set up quick away from the center watch this thing get out around that's not a troy aikman pass thrown way behind Harper it doesn't look good to this point an inside release by Harper inside Langham good coverage ball thrown way behind Harper over here an Eric Turner with seven interceptions tied with terry mcdaniel for [Applause] Smith hit hard but he bolts to a first down at the 14 and when the Cowboys get inside the 21 of the very best the Niners scoring now these aren't just scoring these are touchdowns scored inside the 20 and 49ers converting almost 73% in Dallas two out of three times but where isn't Dallas it's the best or one of the best in each stance you can put up there meanwhile the Browns have been one of the most difficult to score against only 14 touchdowns out of 35 tries toss and then just waiting for something to develop and then charge through it stamps and Turner collaborate on the tackle he Leroy hoard on the sideline because of his fumble his drive stays alive Haley stripped it away Emmet tells his offensive lineman look just get moving get on your guy stay with him I'll find the spot second down and a short for [Applause] and that much there that time in closing the gap number 96 james alfie jones from Northern Iowa he's playing war today with the injury to Michael Dean Perry Aires Jones is also used as a lead blocker for the Browns when they get down on the goal line after the fashion of Michael Dean Perry's big brother William with the Chicago Bears [Applause] three [Applause] [Music] Barry Sanders caught his first touchdown pass this season and that was the first reception for a touchdown for Emmitt Smith other 19 on the ground wonderful surprise for the Cowboys the free agent from Louisiana Tech that's the extra point a dr dr impressively the Super Bowl champs lead 7-nothing 80-yard Drive Emmitt Smith workhorse but 60 of the 80 yards says bony old picks it off the Baldwin and Metcalf to the side of Baldwin's short finally bumped out of bounds around the 37 yard line by Darren Woodson let's go back to the touchdown you saw about 13 plays there pages of the playbook there for the Dallas Cowboys this Emmitt Smith down the plant his first reception for a touchdown here season there is just so much offense available for the Dallas Cowboys they use it and Paul hold from Pensacola Florida Matt Smith already worn out once in his shoulder that's pretty good drive the platelet starts at the 37 and leave three yards on first down and board as well going to an equipment change Emmett's family owns a card shop back in Pensacola Florida maybe they sign those send him back you know get a price on him I bet they would order has got spat it up shoes here again this surface in Texas Stadium a little dampen tape on the bottom of shoes on a wet surface really doesn't work you may have to get rid of that tape down there [Applause] replaces him by dan brian Kenshin short of the first down as he she mothered by Dallas stars Darren Smith and James Washington first there the kitchen is here he just runs the out pattern Testaverde taken the very conservative approach you saw Metcalfe open out here in the flat but Cleveland's got to be patient here down seven to nothing I think they now realize against the two-time defending world champion Dallas Cowboys you just cannot commit a mistake you can't give them any more opportunities than they're already going to get because they're going to kill you close enough for a measurement shy that much on third down for Cleveland Bill Belichick [Music] well he just symbolizes the rough road for the head coach I mean just the exhaustion how little sleep these men take during the course of the year and what is interesting is that after 61 games they have identical records Belichick and Jimmy Johnson first Johnston's first team was one in 15 as you can see Bella took Vale may have inherited a little better ballclub but that's it's an interesting yeah they were but they're also both 24-hour day coaches I don't think they ever stopped thinking about football Kringle kids all under 10 years old [Applause] have leaned offside I believe Charles Hayley had fallen into the neutral zone as Testaverde sneaks it ad flags are down he's already shown his quickness in this game one of the top pass rushers and he's really been picking on the pencil that's the right tackle five yards the yardage is a first down first down sometimes the defensive lemon they try to anticipate that snap count certainly happens here to birdie with the heart cows kinda crawl into the neutral zone same penalty net force acts against Pittsburgh and three sets against Philadelphia 7 this [Applause] that was their first [Applause] and all the amazing thing about this is that here's Leon Lent right here Halley comes in from the backside they can get to the quarterback [Music] let just absolutely shows the center Everett right back in the offensive backfield that flushes Testaverde and Haley cleans up Cowboys are number two in a league that their forty first sack nine behind the lady whose Steelers and Haley now with the eleven and a half Cleveland will take a timeout with second and blow fifty seven-year-old of Barry Switzer three national titles at Oklahoma something like sixteen of his summer players were number one [Applause] [Music] the Cowboys a little Charles and drops him for a loss again three wives by Cleveland right here and basically Dallas stays with their base defense and you see the speed again and Haleigh just jumps right around Tony Jones sixty six and is there to make this the tackle rather easily this is an aggressive defensive front for get across the line of scrimmage Jones 55 there too now this is that dangerous down [Music] [Applause] Testaverde going along prayer at standard [Applause] on the far side the flag is known as Alexander tackled before the ball arrived by Larry Brown that ball took forever to get there Alexander who had a supreme performance last Sunday against the Giants with 171 yards he's become the first Cleveland rookie Warfield f3 100-yard game roll out by Testaverde a lot of contact here on both sides but I think you can clearly see Larry Brown just pulling down by the shoulder pads and get inside we're on stage whether or not watch the right arm go up on the shoulder pads right there and still Alexander almost catches the football 48-yard penalties that the facemask got the helmet got the shoulder pads Testaverde bailing the Browns out of third and 19 with a scramble and that opened up the play first and goal at the 8th [Applause] look at him time to make amends for the fumble and his to the two yard line before it can be pushed back by Smith and Edwards at all 38 yards rushing now for Leroy hole he's a diesel he keeps those legs that turn it of course this is a young man who because of the salary cap was released then re-signed at a reduced rate said it was a defining moment in his life but he's gotten on with his life I can still contribute here and with incentives he's probably going to make the same kind of money but he is a tough back to bring down replaces him [Music] slashing in from this defensive end position a dick again here for Cleveland this is not a clean handoff watch the contact between Testaverde and Randy bullet see it doesn't happen cleanly and that's all Tolbert needs he jumps inside the offensive tackle there Orlando Brown and there's there to make the tackle I watched Barry Switzer's press conference he said that Tony tober had his best game of the season last week against Philadelphia from the time school back in touchdown to Michael Jackson Michael Jackson's second touchdown of the air [Applause] the little fade pattern thrown well by Vinny Testaverde it doesn't take much protection but it's all up to the receiver Jackson makes the catch and also keeps his feet in the clean catch and again right over Larry Brown number 24 the guy who had the interference penalty on him [Applause] this sellout crowd at Texas Stadium quieted and don't forget to put the holders three two-point conversions this year not this time Stover knocks it home and we have a tie game at the end of the first quarter at Texas Stadium Larry Brown a 48-yard pass interference and then beaten on the fade for the touchdown it's seven all and a reminder tomorrow night don't miss the holiday comedy classic National Lampoon's Christmas vacation starring Chevy Chase Julia Louie Dreyfus and Randy Quaid that's tomorrow night on NBC 9 o'clock 8:00 central Matt Stover to Kevin Williams [Music] Joerg [Applause] Dallas Cowboys and Troy Aikman young man who doesn't like the helmet radio that's Robert Ford on the side on he signals things in Detroit when they had a big face mask on his helmet when he got a couple of concussions at Hitmen chin it's got the same shoulder pads on that he wore in college very particular about his comfort level then he Testaverde to a solid the first quarter start and but for a fumble at the one-yard line Leroy hoard the bronze would have the lead [Applause] [Music] the guy didn't see a big heavy hit here on Alvin Harper that ball just seemed to pop out of his hands excellent throw by Eggman catches it cleanly Langham knocks it loose 38 the rookie knocks it loose Steve on more the safety recovers and a big break for Cleveland a lot of players slipping around here has nothing to do with the fumble but excellent job by Langham [Music] when he showed up after three days of camp he was - starting quarterback the clerk at Cleveland Browns three whole days [Applause] first down at the 47 [Applause] one gets just two yards before he's dangling James Washington [Music] and especial starts reserved on the bench for the man who gives up the bowl you know generally speaking you see a lot of people go over to Dallas players and Pat them on the back a minima steak that's all right again that's very typical of the Dallas team this is a closed bunch of young men of course with their success and you do get very close they're tight Bunch second [Applause] [Music] and takes the sidelines to the 46 of Dallas that'll be three yards short of a first down as Larry Brown made the stop little swing pass thrown by penny Testaverde if you can you can get the receiver and stride in this case it's the running back and he's got a chance and that's all they need involved somehow in the offense so he's a threat that's a nice pickup therefore it's a very high percentage lowest past back in perfect six for sex passing [Applause] seven four seven as Michael Jackson has a first down at the 35 farmers Southern Mississippi star where he caught the passes of Brett Favre dick watch Kevin Smith 26 he cannot drop softer this is so Kevin Smith is caught looking in at the quarterback day they emptied the back deal with horde and just a moment's look by the cornerback allowed that little cushion Eric testa Bernie makes to completion make a 12-yard gain to the 34 tied at 7 early in the second quarter [Applause] he slammed inside the 25 another dozen [Music] has been very impressive three drives and three long drive in trying to spread out this Dallas defense so they can get a big guy on a big guy giving Leroy hoard the option to really find the spot through that through that defense this is a quality offense when it's functioning in this manner with the law they don't have in situations [Applause] the Concord [Applause] [Music] Alexandr 60s along the lines of the tall lanky cowboy wide-receivers I was shocked to hear him say last night he's surprised at his success he didn't sell that very well no he didn't and that's part of growing up in the end of the as Kevin Smith has been around a while he showed up at camp for the Cleveland Browns in very bad shape Bill Belichick Gutterman said in a big hurry [Applause] running an air for moving everything to the twentieth Robert Jones applied the tackle and a gain of four and Troy Aikman goes to a different it's the same shoulder pads it's just he wants a little heavier Jersey what's going on here a fashion show here in a sideline at Texas Stadium you were a heavier alight Jersey I didn't know I had an option I gave the one day [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 17 short of the first on and Bill Belichick motions for the field goal unit to come on the conservative approach by the Cleveland Brown Steve Crosby the offensive coordinator Bill Belichick he wants points out of this drive somehow I'm gonna take a chance with the pass a lot of people criticizing him for that but looking for a Cleveland record if he makes this one will be a 35-yard attempt to break the time with at 16 in the world and he is in the Cleveland Browns record book in that record book where you can be very proud of the names that surrounds you sober who grew up in Dallas 17 in a row and Cleveland claims the lead welcome back the sold-out Texas Stadium there's our president of NBC Sports on the left ik ever saw his wife Susan Saint James and Paul Tagliabue with the X's and O's all likes to watch football [Music] with it the penalizing effect of an out of bounds tick as dallas gets it at the 40-yard line Stover it's a nice story you know and he grew up in Dallas playing peewee football his coach was a Dallas assistant named Dan Reeves where is Dan Reeves now what is he doing I think he's watching and maybe getting ready for a pretty important game himself tomorrow Stover used to sell programs here at Texas Stadium so he could get into the game and watch his hero before Roger Staubach play not a bad man the Cowboys trailing 10 to 7 unable to really stop Cleveland have a chance themselves at the 40 Smith for three yards Bill Johnson in an attack even without a qin to different quarterbacks jason garrett and rodney peete and the Cowboys win in fact the 11 games with Aikman there's their production and without him everyone onto the epithet and they actually producing more offensively don't think Troy Aikman's are real happy with that graphic but it is the truth Jason Garrett Rodney Peete did an excellent job in his absence and Emmett to the 48-yard line Whittle be third down 49 it'll be third and one parole banks the veteran from Michigan State in his 11th year making the tackle come in from the side there is 29 Eric Turner they'll Justin makes the block Turner who actually makes the tackler assist on the tech on that appears Cleveland's committing that guy to stop Emmett the pass is open [Applause] 150 yard day Emmitt Smith [Music] it crosses the 50 at the 49-yard pleasant and Augusta's and on his way to 150 our day this Cleveland defense through 13 games has yet to allow a hundred yard rusher last week they allowed their first 100 yard receiver in much shorter than the other sciences Saban very proud of the job this defense is done there's your new Michigan State University head coach tomorrow he will fly to East Lansing and meet his Spartan team just a two-hour meeting and head back to Cleveland [Music] 2:46 was a three-yard catch Langham the defender he's an amazing kid never missed a start for a game an irregular or in season for the Dallas Cowboys one of the quietest individuals yoga me and pepper Johnson the middle linebacker of the Cleveland Brown says he is the best blocking running back in the NFL generally shorter come and he give it Sunday or in this case Saturday night dragged down by pepper Johnson and others at the 43 where it'll be third down and four Emmitt Smith their mother here from Pensacola cheering him on dad still drives a bus in Pensacola got three or four years to go to the Libra times I like the fact that Eman is so famous that his mom and dad sign autographs also the Texas down today 73 touchdowns all those footballs have gone back to his card show Pensacola thirty-five [Music] what is michael irvin like this he loves [Music] confrontation he loves that men on man matchup this time is Don Griffin he just knocks away the hand of non grip until he can give me the pre-release that he was over his career he prefers to go deep told us that the look I like going down the field Emmitt Smith is our five yard hitch yeah I want deep the playmaker [Music] this man down at the 33 maybe a yard on the play James Jones and Carl banks on the staff that qualifies a hitch melnichuk who was the densest wizards with Bill Parcells and their two Super Bowl championship years migrating to Cleveland [Music] in his defense reflecting his strength watching that side of the ball right across up the Browns with a run on second and long but Carl banks didn't buy it I think this is where Michael Dean Perry really hurts not being on the field I don't want to shortchange Bill Johnson and James Jones you see the little tackle tackle game as Jones comes across the line but Michael deep very heavily but very very quick off the ball and he brings so much to that defensive line they need him more to stop the run and they do to get to the passer who uses that Joe Greene stands [Applause] reaction to the ball the intended receiver that's the second time it's bounced off his hands dick [Music] that was a blitz coming by Cleveland Langham jumps all over Airmen and he's inside their watch he's looking inside looks back at Herman when Herman looks back he goes for the ball if I can just catch it that's all I need to do Chris Bonilla Lin for a long field goal in fact it would be his longest of this is rookie season 49 yards this one out of Jay Novacek sold we'll kick won't count hits the upright and caroms through snapper falsely moved the ball and Cleveland will take a five-yard penalty false start offense simulating the start of the play number 92 we're still bored down please here's Tolbert right here he's the one who kind of rocks back and it you do see Steph now ski when he puts his head down and then Cleveland fakes Tolbert buys it five yards range that would have made it a 54-yard field goal so that five-yard penalty actually cost out of three points the kick would have been good at hit the upright and slice through so jet the punt with Metcalf at the 10 [Music] aims it to the sidelines away yeah and Cleveland will get it between the 10 and 15 yard line we have a time up man in the half and three times the Cleveland have all gone inside the 20 they fumbled at the 1 of Dallas they were to the 17 in that third drive you draw a lot better well done mr. Hamburg they started to ten [Applause] Robert Jones finally gets him down along with Darren Woodson Leroy averages for six or us coming in here he never stops fighting for a yard or an inch six point eight a theory today at work that'll work especially at first down plays for the Cleveland Browns the better they can do on first down the less pressure there is on the rest of the offense he gets 20 more yards he'll have more yards this year than his first four years combined with Cleveland Randy Baldwin [Applause] and Baldwin knocked down shy of the first down Tolbert again separating through icy Leroy hoard over here on the bench he's going to buy doctors and trainers here walking out to the huddle after the timeout almost as if yeah I'm not sure I should be in here from New Orleans he's a engaging young guy and big sports fan collects cards Brian piccolo Mickey Mantle he mentioned he said who didn't want to have a Brian piccolo card when Brian song was the big hit movie when he was a kid this guy caught passes from Elvis Leroy hoard caught passes from Elvis not the king your bike oh that's right now I get it I knew you would Ernest buddy nerd comes in the veterans started with the Browns had some big years with the Redskins minor number 20 in his 11th year looks at third and one [Applause] waylynn [Music] very short [Applause] struggling to cross that red stripe and gets through for the first half Viner maybe one of the best trades ever made by the Washington Redskins when they gave of my cold of my binder in 1989 and he led the skins in rushing three years that trade was kind of forced by that Fomalhaut denver at his championship game they didn't forgive her in his binder for a long time this is a quality young man he can be a leader on anybody's team in Hannah [Applause] [Music] it's binary see that across the 25 a gain of five Darren Smith and Aaron Woodson with a stuff you know it's interesting that binder comes here and contributes and contributes quickly this offense in Cleveland very close to the Washington Redskins office Haley with the inside rush runs right by Ernest Byner so Ernest was able to pick up on it quickly and be a contributor looked like Vinny Testaverde was expecting an outside release by Jackson cuz he threw it out by the sideline Jackson was a good 8 or 10 yards on the field of play Jackson takes this release as opposed to the outside release then he puts it up and puts it up quickly there's no real pressure on him this is way outside of Jackson working he's the targeted defender out-of-bounds before being hit Kenneth Gantt the Nickelback and it's very close to the first down and they spotted as a first down looked like the Cowboys there were coming with a blitz looks right they're like we got a blitz we've also gotten extra defensive backs in the ball game Testaverde makes the right choice here get it out in the flat the hot receiver cap makes the reception and does pick up the first time Lord returns to the backfield behind Bertie right in the breasts bring it home and michael jackson's been under some criticism this year in cleveland country and that he is out seven weeks with a hamstring and drops like that won't win any favor that wasn't even close come on if he had a pocket on that shirt it would have been a completion Jackson who did catch the touchdown on the fade in the first quarter in the final yards [Applause] to the Titanic engine down by Tolbert at the 36 yard line it'll be third and five-inch in the long snapper on the team Cleveland tried to get Walter Reeves from Tampa they'd sign him and then he hurts his back so Kenshin has turned out to be a pretty good tight end for them and his brother not a battled receiver out there with Los Angeles Rams Todd Kinchin there is the two-minute timeout Cleveland with a ball and a three point lead they're all important now as we steamed toward the playoffs in the Cleveland Browns trying to keep the pressure on the Pittsburgh Steelers late at ten to seven the Cowboys would three what a sure and the first round field in the second of the playoffs two minutes [Applause] downside the first Jim Jeff Co the veteran from Arizona State harrassing them there's a good choice by pencil dirty he wanted to go over the middle and the Cowboys were right there he was able to pull it back and knock off it up he gets up limping he was trying to get the ball to Ernest Byner on a flat dick excellent coverage by Dallas and you're right hanging out of that football was a good choice by Vinny Dallas timeout Lord we were away getting some first class and firsthand advice from the moesel Jim Brown although Ward said as he grew up Gayle Sears was his hero and was about 29 years ago that sayers had a sixth game against San Francisco remember he was a collider wouldn't he kupah drives booming spiraled [Applause] it's twelve 46-yard punt one minute 34 seconds left in the half Dallas has two timeouts now in ten seven Cleveland leading Dallas Dallas ball and a reminder that time it will be involved plus some of the greatest moments all-time Bob Hope nine o'clock Wednesday 8:00 central Evan Smith first down run for cowboys and a flag is down twenty-seven left in this first half as the clock stops on the penalty against Clemont five [Music] all sigh defense nose tackle lined up in the neutral zone five yards repeat the down first down nose tackle leash yeah he sees up there cheating that neutral zone past years he'd have probably been all right but now Michael Dean Perry called lined up in the neutral zone the first penalty against Cleveland today Cowboys trying to work against the clock here dieter go ahead before the intermission that's the first time I've seen droid would look good there perfect timing quick away from the center set up well in this ball is half way to Michael Urban when he makes the break look head around BAM ball there that's almost impossible for anybody to defend watch this set up here by Aiken one two three four five set throws that's Troy Aikman that was a beautiful throw 67 catches on the year now for Michael urban who leads the Cowboys [Applause] 4:28 done Griffin it's interesting that Griffin is second on the Brown's list in sacks if they call that a sec that'll be his fourth of the year a cornerback one of the things the Cleveland Browns have begun to do especially especially in nickel packages is blitz defensive backs he gets around Emmitt Smith normally having a very good pass protector and runs down Troy Aikman by the sack devin williams makes this catch short of the first down at the 47 the clock running under a minute and dallas will spend a time-out trailing 10 7 they get that window open in the roof so God could look down on his favorite team 54 seconds remain in the hand [Applause] but Griffon able to tackle them in play Dallas does not want to use their final timeout saving that to get a field goal and the Browns now will use the timeout Chris Bonio Lu could have tied the game as he hit the upright sliced one throw but it was denied because of a penalty and every miner tomorrow night don't miss the holiday comedy Quan 31 seconds showing in Troy Aikman trying to get them at least in field goal range to tie it up and perhaps something even bigger I think the cleaver Browns just did the Dallas Cowboys a favor by calling that timeout and gives them chance to collect they can call two or three plays here and then go right to the line of scrimmage if the receiver does not get out of bounds again you can't get a team is great many opportunities just just a little sliver of hope [Music] Emmitt Smith the lone running back Williams slotted right in Alan Harper's but left [Applause] betweenness two receivers Williams was short and to the sidelines again now a reminder the Troy Aikman's been out for three weeks or two weeks this is the third week I think he's calling it on himself I just don't have the time he practiced all week got it out of the Cowboys headquarters that's grass first time he's thrown on astroturf purrs when he walked out here to warm up could be a difference in the way he's setting up and get away from the center 26 seconds left [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] puffers what an awful lot of those contests in the end zone he's trying to get the free safety away from that side of the field but Eric Turner stays right with Alan Harper and makes the interception big time play Eric Turner again now the quarterback is trying to get the free safety away there's Langham in coverage and here's the problem Turner doesn't buy the fake and is there to cover Harper and make the interception meanwhile Troy Aikman with Michael Dean Ferry folded on may not have had a chance to complete follow through well Eric Turner Bill Belichick says that he not only should make the Pro Bowl he should be a candidate the Defensive Player of the Year and there's his eighth interception to deny Dallas the Cleveland Browns with a ten to seven lead at the break interesting way move the ball well on all four of their possessions against the Dallas defense so from Texas Stadium let's go to Greg Gumbel in do you or Andy Baldwin from Mississippi [Music] short to Baldwin [Music] [Applause] sidelines to the 43 yard line good field position for Vinny Testaverde the Cleveland Browns come in to measure themselves as they head for the playoffs where they best in the National Football League and Emmitt Smith suddenly and Mike Ditka pointed it out he does so well the one drive then he disappears yeah I don't know what has happened to the Cleveland the Dallas Cowboys choices here Cleveland has dominated the first half Cleveland's got to keep it clean in the second half and for the Dallas Cowboys I mean the Cleveland defense is giving them a lot of different looks so there's not really something that Devils can go to that works and works consistently dick anis orb I talked to Barry Switzer at halftime he said he wasn't concerned about Troy Aikman although he admitted obviously choice timing was off especially at the start of the game he makes choice in a rhythm now doesn't care too much about Troy dick he's going to be ok but he does care about is the running game in Emmitt Smith who has 68 yards rushing but a lot of that came on a big run that he had early in the game also on defense he says he wants a lot better tackling he's not happy with the fact of happen more thick Smith was 68 Hannah driving forty first down at the Dallas 46 so comparing the two top runners and horde holding his own against the all-pro Emmitt Smith how about that six point four yard average for Leroy hoard I mean that's second and just over three that's a beautiful situation to put your offense and offensive coordinator in a but on the other hand his next carry can go for buildings you know hoard is not going to bust one Emmitt can at any moment Eric Metcalf comes in for hoard Testaverde exchanges a final word with him a first down at the 46 [Applause] and well covered by Darren Smith and there's the speed of the cowboy outside linebackers and they just can run with those half backs and he's not the best one Dickson Edwards the other linebacker is the faster of the two but again thrown well by Vinny Testaverde hits Metcalfe in stride and you're right Darren Smith right there to pump him out of bounds hold him to just a three yard game it's the secret to this Dallas deep sense they want strength but they speed is absolutely mandatory Joe Gibbs may like speed on the racetrack but Jimmie Johnson loves speed Cleveland though he does pop it up as he has today because he's such a hard driving player he really epitomizes the history of the Cleveland Browns with their big fullback through the years I see an excellent job by the front five of the Cleveland Browns - that's Doug Dawson 69 with a good push and you're right Leroy hoard he stays very close to those blockers in a short three [Applause] by Michael Jackson well he dropped an easy one and with two Cowboys right on him he's able to spear that one for a first down at the 35 and this is a delay outside you might catch Jackson going inside ever-so-slightly Vinny rolls double coverage and he's still able to make the catch it looked like he almost caught the back into that football this one is rifled yeah that one almost got through his hands and he still hangs on nice cuts Jackson has the touchdown reception at the end of the first quarter 7 [Music] the 32 yard line the 31 they'll spot it Robert Jones from East Carolina the middle backer to make the stop Jones who is not one of the favorites of Jimmie Johnson and felt relieved that with the coaching change he'd get more of an opportunity to play it he is their leading tackler as a matter of fact he was kind of attached to Dave Wannstedt they were really close when Kwan stat left and North moved inside he kind of got lost but he's real hard where [Music] [Applause] [Music] the receiver nabil come on run be an interception against Vinny Testaverde but Michael Jackson 81 apparently runs the wrong pattern and it results in an interception by Dallas Browns fourth of the year four interceptions and then there really gift interceptions no one close to Aaron games too let's go to the intersection why was there no one there for Testaverde dick as you look at the all 22 here's the matchup Testaverde is trying to influence the safety and he doesn't see Michael Jackson slip there is contact between the corner and the receiver nets past the five yard well it's close but Testaverde doesn't see Jackson fall down and if you're right it's an easy interception so each team with two turnovers and the Testaverde has been plagued by the interceptions this year and you can almost hear Barry Switzer in that locker room at halftime and give the ball to Double Deuce he's carried a heavy load for the Dallas Cowboys this year in fact three hundred and twenty three carries coming into the game today the most in the league you guys in mind I asked him I said how do you stay fresh he says I get a complete body massage twice a week it takes out all the aches and pains two hours per messiah just keeps me well keeps me that's right head linesman [Music] it would give Dallas a first down if against Cleveland like someone my to move before the snap on the Cleveland side defense number 92 five-yard penalty [Applause] instead of fourth and four Michael Dean Perry with his second offside Michael Dean has basically been no factor today because he's not a great player but because of his bad back practice all week took himself out of the game last week he sent Jones back to the sidelines I'm staying here you go on the sideline he likes to cry that euro zone and not watching that's closer this year five year in from Syracuse who leads a team in sacks and has drawn the praise of his head coach Bill Belichick thinks that Burnett is probably their best defensive lineman originally when he was drafted but Carson was the defensive coordinator of Cleveland and they drafted him because it was about six for 250 and could really get up the field while he's gained 30 pounds and now has become a real tough run defensive end for the brows they too Smith and pepper Jensen makes the tackle at the 25 where it will be third and seven three catches for Emmitt Smith to go with another busy running day Franklin who said I'm going to be is well armored is John Elway next year he said I'm gonna wear braces on both knees I'll get used to them in the offseason that he just feels that's the smart way to go young stars Eggman's only 28 the youngest quarterback of the division leaders and smith is only 25 check out the linebacker and he saw Frank stands there my on comes the Dallas punter good coverage that time by Cleveland I mean it was an easy choice for Troy Aikman Emma Smith was the only guy open Joan Jett to punt [Music] looking for something a little longer but they're trying to keep the ball away from Metcalfe who drifts back to the 30 [Music] short again and this is returnable medica 36 nothing up the middle and headed for the sidelines where a flag is thrown 38-yard punt turn Audubon's around the 43 yard line what's a group of zebras that's coming not just a her her w-well probably a fancy ones of course from like number 31 of the kicking team he was pushed out of bounds but he made no attempt to get back in the field to get in the field of play 15-yard penalty [Music] of what Trumpy will explain that to you when we return seeing penalty Joab Asano the cowboy special teams coach very angry it was before the Browns had possession so the 15-yard penalty are half the distance marked back to the 12 yard line we'll show you what happened his Brock Marion took the route through Plano by way of Waco to try to get in on that play Joe Cassano is a on a punt team he's done on a punt went out of bounds it made no effort to get back in play in fact we have a chance he ran behind the Dallas bench jet punts again with the dangerous Metcalfe at the [Applause] [Music] Thomas [Applause] [Music] [Applause] learn much from Leon Lett today but what's the job he does on duck Dawson this is a very strong player just rose Dawson out of the way when the cat wants to play he plays like a big cat again watch the strength Rose duck Dawson out of the way the first time the Browns have been denied on third and short they'd made the previous five [Applause] the side of his foot [Applause] 22 yard line Lois Riddick and we have a timeout definition of a man a tourist in Texas wearing look that up about that outfit what's that guy the dog pound prediction started that is back and it's become the Cleveland [Applause] defense living up today [Applause] [Music] Denis Pleasant his name is he barrels in on the Dallas quarterback boy he does a bull rush on to a join a one of the best offensive tackles in the league watch this bull rush see the hands by Anthony Pleasant Cleveland Browns have employed a Taekwondo expert to help their offensive and defensive line with he and fighting boy he just pushed to his hand up ran right through his chest for the second second sack for Cleveland down a second best in the lake protecting quarterback Cleveland's the best of the way [Applause] second and 17 down the middle [Applause] this game is unfolding now to the perfect liking of Bill Belichick this is the double zone corners out safeties deep excellent play by Don Griffin you know long field behind the defense make Dallas throw an interesting move by Michael Irvin what's at that good-old-boy top of the helmet see you later that that's the receivers equivalent of the swim move little crawl living for 21 goes deep down the middle bourbon second interception for a return Turner might have caught that one on the end thumb or finger we saw him get a shoulder next her shoulder pad on the sideline a little bit you definitely take any contact there but he does have to stretch for it this time it's Langham last time it was gripping when he reaches for it looked like he was stretched his shoulder out a little bit but here's Antonio Langham this rookie from Alabama their number one draft pick he was the ninth player selected he is [Music] slices one [Music] the Dallas 45 by John Jeff time Hamburg would trumpian Hannah Storm were pleased to join us on this Saturday special edition of NFL on NBC and invite you to be with us tomorrow for more key action beginning at 12:30 Eastern Flavin with its best field position start at the dallas 45 [Applause] 10 275 [Applause] michael jackson broken up nicely Kevin Smith on the coverage interesting fall or that Testaverde when he goes long he reminds me of the former Ram star Roman Gabriel he throws a clothesline he didn't put a lot of air under these long attempts Wow Jackson does a good job of becoming defender there you stop being receiver and you start being too we make sure that there's no interception that particular call or you got defending world champions where you won your position let's pound it out [Applause] see they throw on first let's celebrate the good [Applause] they throw on first down it forces second and ten now two things can happen you either go to throw or you're going to run inside whatever happens you turn loose the defensive line now third and ten this is not a good series for cleaner third and one [Applause] Michael Jackson close to a first down he's at the 35 and a half that'll be about a half yard short it's a tough choice they make 11 and a half so the loss on the run of two to hoard denies the first down as Jackson has his fifth catch and Bill Belichick it be a long field goal try of about 53 and they're gonna go for the first down on fourth and a yard he sent it in to meet James Jones is going to be the block 96 [Applause] first down at the 34 actually Joe pne's went outside and horde and took the inside route but if you look at Jones the outside of Jones is about three yards from the inside of Jones so he is a big fellow back there is a fullback he's is a gapper it seasick effort I'm not sure he even makes contact with the guys up front to a good job of getting Cowboys on the ground and Hort can make several choices again now watch the lead block he goes outside that's a great job second-year man from the ground flags down no play Everett never got the ball to this to the quarterback there [Music] false start offense prior to the snap five-yard penalty still first at Steve Everett graduated in four years from Michigan and as an accomplished artist as is his father in fact he's going to have his second showing in Cleveland he's a surrealist I guess that's appropriate for offensive lineman absolutely it looked like the center was the last guy to get the message there is that when it was supposed to be snap started sixteen games last year as a rookie out of Michigan not missed to start this year [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Air Force Academy [Music] he is developing into a force defensively at 290 pounds here's hitting's right here they try to run the draw right at him unbelievable strength he gets around the offensive guard and makes the tackle very unusual Vanderbeek on the sidelines [Applause] at 18 [Applause] one yard shy of a first down 17-yard pickup for Eric Metcalf with rest for only 270 yards on the season coming in you're going to see a lineman pull right out in front there's an excellent Jean Williams and Eric med gap with an excellent speed surprises the Dallas defense it's a long yard but a yard to happen in comes the torrid 90-pound blocking back Jones with horrible [Applause] he did that on his own he was trapped by gin hitting's in the backfield and exam him but horde plants the way and has the first down at the 22 headings beats the center Evert just takes that inside move watch Jennings he gets by the head of Everett whatever is able to get him on the ground and you're right in Leroy hoard gets that foot up in the air and gets by that initial tackle that's enough to pick up the first down and Lord warily leaves the field excellent job by Leroy hoard good strong legs shown there with 86 yards in the game [Applause] makes a Yardley on lid and Larry Brown from the secondary [Applause] should be coming right at you Leon let again manhandling the center Everett these are strong guys up front but when Cleveland's needed that big play against this good front defensive line at downstate they able to execute [Music] [Applause] Testaverde [Applause] Darrin Smith and James Washington make the tackle so as we move to the fourth quarter the Browns will have third down they lead by three and they're inside that Dallas 20 is we'll be back after these messages from your local station Cleveland Browns toughest to score against in the league Dallas the second highest scoring team in the league and the defense has prevailed two three and the visitors from the banks of Lake Erie three it's third down and six all at the eight Testaverde [Applause] he's to the 14-yard line short of the first time by a yard and a half so Belichick playing it fairly conservative they're hoping to catch Dallas with a surprise Metcalf up the middle you wouldn't figure that and here comes Stover looking for his 18th in a row [Music] Stover who was picked by the Giants in their final round in 1990 and was injured as a rookie and missed the Superbowl year and then the Cleveland founded 32-yard attempt bangs at home he's been perfect 18 out of 18 the Cleveland record and the Browns have a six-point lead for the 32 yard field goal lead is sexist over spins winding ashore [Applause] close to the 30-yard line Cowboys have only one yard on offense the second half as Eichmann 8:30 Eastern 50 percent pitching but one for the last six [Applause] yes they wish to live that back at the 46 yard line [Applause] Terk still wet Aikman expecting the deep slant by urban Don Griffin stays on his feet makes the easy interception and there's no question he went down by contact again what's the slip [Music] right on the numbers at about the 40-yard line and that's where it is slicked on the painted part of the artificial carpet seems to hold water a little more than the rest of the carpet and at another turnover for the Cowboys so Eggman's return to the cowboys has not been as well blessed as fans in this part of the world had hoped three interceptions he's under 500 passing against us Browns have it at the 45 [Applause] wide open as Jackson he breaks a tackle and he's inside the 30 Larry Brown's area again 16 more yards for the thriller Michael Jackson can you sense the confidence in Cleveland growing here just the hitch Washington the Safety's got to get out there he has the underneath coverage and can't quite get it get out there fast enough I mean was doing something to Dallas that few people do down here in Dallas [Applause] against these linebackers in Dixon Edwards denies again maybe three you know Troy Aikman made a comment to us yesterday when we talked to him about the the Dallas Cowboys as you look at the turnover table by the Cleveland Browns what next good results the Browns as you pointed out earlier when they lead in that turnover battle they're 21 and four in their last 25 games and they're ahead today three to two [Applause] for Jackson but Larry Brown shut him off Claire Jackson thought there was an illegal chuck downfield but Brown has the right to is part of the real estate as well I think to is defensive backs get bigger along with receivers you're going to have a lot of that hand fighting I mean that's they're both throwing punches there it's hard for the official to decide exactly who started it hey Quinn said to us yesterday something grant is saying we're normally on a wall at this time of year and I can't get a feel they've not played a very emotional game today the Dallas Cowboys [Applause] as well because he was very deep in his own backfield and the white shirts were coming so I'm arrives the place kicker Matt Stover who builds on his Cleveland record 18 straight and this young man from Dallas has a chance if he makes this one to put Dallas in a very tight squeeze all others 12 minutes plus remaining this to force the Cowboys to score more than a touchdown 43 yard attempt [Applause] like it has magnets right down the middle sober Cleveland a 16 to 7 lead [Applause] well this is a good job done by Tom - but that ball is low does get it up laces forward and Stover hits it solid in front 16-7 and its [Applause] Notre Dame debate teen star again the peel Golda staffer Everett good job by tupa and Stover probably his career was not complete until he had a field goal to Texas Stadium this is where he grew up we get that one salad yeah that's just the way I pictured it when I was growing up here in the Dallas area many Testaverde was led the ground so offensively and now the other side Troy Aikman knows that the Browns have not allowed more than two touchdowns in a game to the last six weeks to the 26-yard line it'll be second and seven as well as Thomas pepper Johnson Emmet gets up in there a little bit big so see the frustration when he bang that ball on the ground this is the guy that can't get hurt this is the guy that need as many stamps as possible on offense they won without Eggman but without Emmett did not be a different story and it's after a very a bold first quarter Smith 15 19 23 yards in the last three periods [Applause] [Applause] [Music] that's Carl banks down on the ground grabbing his leg [Music] 11-year veteran see what happens number 58 right there in your pics I think you're going to see him get hit by his own man as he sheds the block from Novacek yet one of his own defensive lineman just plows into his knee Carl does get up but he is limping and limping badly Thanksgiving that solid veteran experience at baccarat almost every chance of see who Belichick sends in [Music] Tennessee State number 56 [Applause] [Applause] [Music] just in time to kill for that with eight [Music] right through the arms of the arm is up big strong [Music] Hickman's trying to fire up this football team try to get him to play too there first down this half for Dallas [Applause] [Music] Gerald Dixon in the game of Becker helps on the tackle 91 yards for Smith one enough in previous seasons to know how to deal with situations like this but the same time they can save this game with a typical defending Super Bowl championship team but they have not played like that defending Super Bowl champion to this point Cleveland 16 Dallas 7 approaching the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] to get a century against the Cleveland defense this year again watch the sliding of Emmitt Smith here just a little slide back and forth the we've even more hits in Turner hits him but not Phillies well deep into the defensive backfield [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] three different browns headed in the backfield for a loss and he finally gets out to the 30 yard line and turns a couple yard loss into a couple yard gain Caldwell can make the tackle hundred yards goal for every great runner you know the active players Drummond Thomas deleter Barry Sanders had a hundred today Emmitt Smith with 31 surprising the Marcus Allen only 2200 Derrick games I didn't let a block in those years out there with Bo Jackson and he had a couple years of inactivity didn't he [Applause] all champions behind the on ffense pass we'll be thrown in the left great confidence in urban again it's on land but Evan just makes that quick break the bump the little push-off when you have a reputation like Michael Irvin I think sometimes the receivers get away with those little hand checks this is only the second time down then inside the Cleveland [Applause] maybe the yard loss and the clock ticks to 822 821 [Music] so certainly not what the people in Dallas Texas they expected ampere Browns lose to the Giants last week oh this is just the Cleveland Browns I mean they've got four wins against Cincinnati in Houston who are they they're nothing they got an easy schedule oh whoops and sweat sir of course also nodding that tend to let NFC East is close to a first down make the tackle Gerald Dixon number 51 couldn't excellent job by a Qin he's looking down down feel as best he can and in the acceleration of evan smith not known as a particularly fast running back but he can't accelerate there's the owner Jerry in order Terry Jones where the Jones family his father Pat on Thursday had very complicated triple bypass heart surgery and Smith sticking his helmet in the hole and for Dallas first and goal Cowboys 7:19 on the clock think they had that emotional reserve a good show we put ourselves in this spot now we got to do something about it fellows let's go get them let me make sure I know emotional reserve does that have 22 on its any chance a big part of it is Emmitt Smith emotional reserve right the six [Applause] and still makes two yards [Applause] he's exhausted this has been a lot of Emmitt Smith on this his ability to bounce up after he slipped and down back up let's keep it going fellas like Barry Sanders short but strong too looking for his 20th rushing touchdown of the season [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] touchdown for shy of the [Music] Riggins with 20 [Applause] [Music] stands today for Dallas 74 career touchdowns and he's only 25 years extra point by Boyle in the shore now 16 [Music] a sellout crowd at Texas Stadium comes to life as there I'll go back you the backs of Emmet's [Music] first player to gain [Applause] on the return dick back to the touchdown moose Johnson is going to indicate where that draw goes but you see Emmett bounced back watch the buck one by Novacek and two by Nate Newton the strong side is to the right but when Emmett Smith runs the ball you've always got to think of the cutoff block on the backside executed to perfection by Nate Newton and Jay Novacek he's in the end zone [Applause] pressure ships [Applause] offensive in a test [Applause] six minutes nine [Applause] [Music] tobert the tackler now under six minutes to play toward having a big game 94 yards just as Cleveland stingy against the run only one man Barry Sanders has rushed for over a hundred against Dallas and [Music] performance down here in overtime it's over six-year veteran from Texas El Paso has had a big game against the run he has a lot of big games this is a draw [Applause] run initially but then Tolbert gives up the blood they're in the backfield to stop horn and seven [Music] complete to mark carrier his first kids today former teammate a Testaverde at Tampa Bay has a first down he used to be the big receiver in his offense but he runs the crossing right underneath wants the linebacker comes in in the nickel package he gets just enough for the first down watches replacing Billy Bates out with that fractured thumb doesn't get a lot of playing time they needed to stop that one big conversion by the Cleveland Browns at the Dallas [Applause] to the 45 it will be second in six and if you're joining us late that man Leroy hoard closing in on a hundred yards was on his way to a touchdown on the very first Cleveland possession hit by Haley from behind fumbled at the one into the end zone recovered by Dallas or the Cleveland Browns wouldn't be in quite such a nervous spot but aboard since that time plowing for tough yards 3:37 one [Applause] check that Darrin was it or Larry Brown it was Larry Brown Alexander takes the inside release on Braun watched the right Armour Braun makes contact with the ball but knocks the arms of Alexander down rookie receiver when you get by that place yourself so that the ball can get to you he left Brown beat him to the ball that stops that slight snap and [Applause] [Music] [Applause] in the thick of it offensive line also allowed the defensive linemen to release too quickly he's going to throw that too fast Eric Metcalf doesn't even see it would oh it's getting Afghan that Woodson but Kenneth Gantt who read it if Gant looks up you might have a chance to catch that football stops the clock with 322 remaining each team with back to put a pun they call time actually Bill Belichick probably wouldn't want to waste the gown timeout Cleveland timeout that could be a valuable timeout in that part of the field a very unusual timeout unless they didn't have the right personnel on the field every game so crucial in the let's hope your enjoyment provides as much drama tomorrow starts at 12:30 on NBC just take a five-yard penalty this part of the field and tuba Bearcat at the 8-yard line timeout Dallas with a bowl trailing by two three minutes plus to go Stadium and a reminder tonight it's your only chance this year to see the Chris McMahon has it right in his left although he's not had the field position enjoyed by Vinny Testaverde as you can see and he starts here even worse than his 19 he's on the 8 yard line to get it to the 34 winning field goal try he's got plenty of time when he's timeouts Novacek the tide and finally with a catch and tackled at the 13 yard line a gain of five Novacek with his 37th reception of the year the great owners in the NFL Art Modell here from Cleveland to cheer the Browns [Applause] to get out of my own shai the 15 so there's two plays for short yardage an injured brown me right to the helmet of Langham Johnston hit him right on the helmet leave him alone Eric Turner is trying to roll him over there leave him alone 229 left setting up the downfield stuff sure-handed Darrell Johnson to watch the helmet the me just gonna rejected that helmet Beth Johnstone because of all the he uses all the biggest pants he's 238 pounds but he just looks like he weighs about 68 I think he wants to look like he weighs 268 makes his job a little easier his shoulder alabama playing so well today in pride and joy of town creek Isak booth replaces him and to [Applause] inside by number 56 Mike Caldwell he's replacing the injured Carl banks and that's going to be short of the first time it's going to force Dallas to spend a timeout with fourth down and about well a long one what's the decision it Switzer heads here this there's no good decision here dick I still can't pick out who it is on the bottom of the file it looks like Bill Johnson number 94 Troy Aikman never got the football you see Johnson stepped muskie he's got a crucial block there that was going to be a bass Troy Aikman never got the football and Bill Johnson third-year lineman from Michigan State swaddles it up and the defense of Bill Belichick has been the difference we said today that it was perhaps even Dallas offense Cleveland defense and Art Modell says in our offense against the Dallas defense was good enough 16:14 Pittsburgh here comes Cleveland to Three Rivers Stadium it's Ellen [Applause] driven back as the Cowboys think fumble and the clock ticks down to the two-minute timeout the Cleveland Browns looking for their tenth win of the year now time called up by Dallas before the two-minute timeout Emma Smith has done his part but Troy Aikman showing some rustiness after a couple of weeks off not as sharp as we have seen him three interceptions and Maui fumbled snap from center that's all part of that rhythm he's in he very candid with us yesterday at the Adhan at this time the last two years we just flat out knew we were good and on a roll we just had it together we just felt it the whole team and I don't feel that at this time this year now this is coming from a man whose team is 11 and 2 but then dick when he made that comment I was originally initially struck with Jimmie Johnson took care of the emotion of this football team when he fired him up early in a week Barry Switzer does not take that approach he has turned that over to the players gentlemen you got to get it done you're the two-time defending world champion and the Dallas Cowboys I think we're in uncharted water here by themselves this is a great opportunity for Barry Switzer to insert himself and the rest of this season say you can't do it fellas I'll do it for you we'll Dallas at a time [Applause] Tony Tolbert with a bit mid up there to bat that one if that flops into his arms there's going to be a lot of noise and Big D look at Tolbert these senses what is coming and when he disengages from Orlando Brown maybe two hands he might have made the interception victory show they complete their work here in Dallas that would certainly build in many ways for them as they close out this season third and 13 [Applause] in position for Matt Stover's fourth field goal as Dallas uses its final timeout so Dallas is defense held at Cleveland and check a field goal still does not assure victory for Cleveland and there's plenty of time left just a touchdown it will take a touchdown to beat Cleveland Stover is successful four out of four we're the big game tomorrow the lane standing one of the best there is in the games of course still the big question does Elway play or not looking for his 20 and consecutive field goal 32 yards away so the kid comes home Matt Stover Dallas natives picks his fourth consecutive today is 20th in a row this season and the Browns lead is 5 again good snap good solid hold and Matt Stover is kicking like he's kicked in Texas Stadium his entire career this has got to be so special for the young man and on the sidelines the first famous football 32 Jim Brown Art Modell able to see his team move ahead by five couldn't blame them if you want a little more than no yes you never have enough when you're playing the defending Super Bowl champion so the Cleveland Browns the toughest defense to score against now say okay Dallas you're the best in the NFL the last two years we've taken the turnovers you've gotten three field goals out of them we have a five-point lead and you'll get your final chance to win it but you've got to beat our stingy defense without a timeout Emmitt Smith and Troy Michael Irvin and company with the heavy armor well in place just to show you the faith the fans of the Dallas Cowboys
