Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Redskins 1991 Week 13

[Music] nothing quite like in RFK Stadium in Washington is especially different and expecially exciting when the Dallas Cowboys come to town to play the one beacon residence overall here with John Madden and all the talk in this town and pretty much around the country is the Redskins and their undefeated record and they continue I guess is the big question and I think they can and I think a big reason is this guy right here joke if you're always has a motivator you always give them a reason to have to win today they have to win to clinch is division you remember what it is he says we have to stop Emmitt Smith we can't let Troy Aikman seed but if we've wins today we can switch our division sitting next to and Mark Griffin on a hot streak as the Cowboys will kick off to the no surprise that RFK is sold out it has been for a long long time this rivalry is special to both please that's going to be Brian Cowboys they have mark ripping the quarterback him one of the best offensive lines in all of football Lachey McKinsey plastic Laurette Jacoby and Ron Middleton all of them having career years Ernest Byner the running back or funky Sanders and Gary Clark the wide receivers although they utilize a lot of tight in back is finer side and setup I stopped by Del Rio and Russell Marilyn the Dallas defense has Tony Tolbert Tony Casillas Russell Marilyn and Jim Jeffcoat upfront the linebackers Del Rio in the middle Norton and Vinson Smith and in the secondary Isaac Koch back to start at the left cornerback Larry Brown Horton and Washington the safety he got a gun so Maryland starting to come on fun to watch us the offense bad in it they always give you what they call a different package we saw the first down they had two tight ends in there two wide receivers then on second down they went for wide receiver now on this down they will probably come back with three wide receivers one tight end and after they show you that then they ship then they motion so you never know exactly where they're going to be until just before the fall stand watch all this movement on the preakness third and six from the 20 [Applause] first down a gain of eight and we look at all the packages regular is to wide receivers to tight ends that are running back three wide receivers of course would be three wide receivers that means only one tight end and only one running back four wide receivers like they used on second down no tight ends one running back heavy that's when they get down in short yardage and goal line one ride receiver three kind of and heavy jumbo for time in the package and if you play ribbon will throw again time for ripping our mom thought he was interfered with he was the intended receiver James Washington the defender and our monk doesn't complain a lot but he's going over there talking to the official and we're going to see as we see we see the formation here you see they get to wide receivers working in package now that's a tough thing if you're man-to-man but watch the Cowboys they don't they just zone this as it comes off you see they come off everyone just goes to their zone that would stop it right there here's where monk is that's where the interference occurred right there the official let them get away with that one second at ten [Applause] [Music] pick up a tooth Del Rio the big game last week again on the stop well Del Rio is one of those guys that really enjoy playing football when the other team or runs at you then when the other team is going to pass they take checks they'll reel out that's a lot like the others i when redskins play defense with Matt Millen he only plays in there and running down that's when they don't enjoy football they hate it [Applause] safety blitz and they pick it up the cat hit by hope to a first down looks like it might be a couple of feet short if Mark Ripon did a good job of seeing Ray Horton come it was a weak safety blitz he saw Horton come that many had it get rid of the ball Gary Clarke also had to see it shorten up his pattern the redskins hope he didn't shorten it up too much so he didn't lose to the first down you know John as they measure that's one of the reasons the Redskins are so effective because even if you do bliss they seem to have the intelligence the package the plan to pick it up and that kind they had to plan but again Gary Clark had to go a little too short gripping hat and throw a little too soon because of the safety blitz and they didn't get the first down really good we're in to punt Calvin Martin back deep for the Cowboys standing at about his 23 yard line [Applause] unbeaten Washington all kinds of records within their reach streets continue [Applause] laughter [Applause] hammered [Applause] 3-yard 26 after the 70 yard return I think the Redskins nothing first quarter troy aikman the Dallas quarterback in front of him the offensive line includes chewing a Gogan step naki music Eric Williams the rookie had right tackle Alfredo Robertson place of Nova jacket right in MN Smith the runner with Daryl Johnson Alvin Harper and Michael Irvin the wide receiver [Music] no does Darryl Harbor got it the defender what never going to take some shots that's right for I hate Minh says we're going to take some shots and that means we got to take some shots down field and we're going to go to Martin made you first and the thing is that was a good move out there by Alvin Harper it wasn't just enough it was an out nuff here Anthony out and then he ran up it has to start off with pretty good crash protection the Athan had time to pump to be out and then BOOM throw it to the up maybe they're gonna have another look [Applause] Bob clearly his rule on the field papayas being review let's watch the play here's Harper down here he's going to come up then he's going to give an here and then go up again you see that's a double move you just don't try and run by the guy see you set him up you see right there that little out move you see what may who did boom he took the bite on it then Harper was able to get by him and get the step on him I think what they're reviewing is at the end when he hit the ground did the ball come out weathers too many of this reviews are on the boy that was a heck of a play I mean it did Jimmy Johnson told us last night he says we're going to give you some excitement today said I don't know if we can win but we're going to give you some excitement that looks like a catch from any angle I think that's the catch and I think that is excitement appear if you got a team that the best game in football and you're going to go after them this is a way to go after folks sit around defensive unit trying to get crowd involved I was reading the paper this morning John you forget about what this does to the fans these delays like new the placed and perfect well maybe that's pretty to get even for last week Cowboys last week against Giants and one of those things and everything this could happen bad did happen purrs - the writer Washington's defense they've been remarkable - man Williams Johnson and Stokes man well you hear about quality the other surprises I think Wilbur Marshall Matt Belen and Andre Collins the linebackers may you in green the quarterbacks Edwards than to safety men Cowboys are at the 35 tight end Robertson AWOL I'm out - ever [Music] you know of it Ritchie Pettibone is the defensive coordinator of this Washington Ritchie takes something away very strong and the thing that he's going to take away is he's going to take away Emmitt Smith that's going to be the first thing the next thing is Michael Irvin so I think the Cowboys also know that although they know that they have to get the ball to Emmitt Smith for the first big play they go to his house and Hartford and they may have to do that again on Thursday to replace Smith wipers [Applause] Ronnie Coleman loss of 8 they take the ball away from him in the tackle Monty Coleman also came up for the ball sensor fearful Kevon Coleman dit is really you're a guy who's been here a long time ago Kim says just keeps getting better I don't know that that's not a bum blade he took the ball away what Eggman is still up watch were number 51 comes in right there Athens when it goes down rifle your people the Washington defense the shadow get hey Stadium in Washington 8:35 left to play in the first quarter no score yet ball first and ten at their own 30 [Applause] about seven right now bird NFL update let's India back to New York and recover all right had at the Metrodome Barry Sanders goes 17 yards for his NFC leading 11th touchdown of the year with the extra point the Lions are on top of the Vikings 7 nothing in the first set [Music] fly adds up Washington unbeaten we'll be in Detroit Thanksgiving day second and three here at RFK was shown by the Cowboys and [Applause] Ernest Byner he got to it'll be third and one it was interesting pad it was Thanksgiving Day a year ago in Dallas where the Cowboys beat the Redskins down there and that was kind of a change for the Redskins because Joe Gibbs felt at that game the Cowboys went they were running to the ball too much and he felt the Attic oh I mean they were throwing the ball too much he felt they had to go back to the run they did go back to the run and they've only walked sunset Thanksgiving Day game only won a regular Middleton helped out of the game on 31 very big part of that finance never very much the Redskins massing attack but sometimes they change up on you I know it and you'll just see Warren he's going to come down here as they play the zone he's just going to kind of stagger down here and take this mental there's always something in the middle they don't pay attention to the red skin tight end watch Johnny Warren they all go to the wide receivers they go all over right in the middle there isn't anyone within 10 yards of Warren talked about a guy being ignored by the reverse come up [Applause] [Music] he got a yard perhaps mrs. Smith waited well yes you look at D at the Redskins and who they throw to look 134 time or 75% to the wide receivers that's the posse those are the guys of catchable 34 and 19 but coming into this game they'd only thrown 11 ball to the tight end or 6% and in this drives they've thrown 2 times already remember they did that last year yes the giant yeah 90 Warren had the biggest day of his career I think he's known as the blocker second at 9 [Applause] the intent receiver in Ripon [Applause] backwards by Ken Norton he doesn't get hit very often and that's what Dallas wanted to do is is maybe not sack and maybe not going to but knock him down put him after he throws the ball put him on the ground because the word is or the Cowboys think that Mark Griffin is susceptible to be shaken up we need to pressure him was what they said continuously we talked to all the Cowboys last night maybe not second but making away the Redskins don't allow you know because they always keep excited about the timer back in the block here comes another flit it's over so agenda the trauma was hit by Isaac hope it wasn't like a guy who's been hurt he's still pointing over there to the bets I don't know they were we know that I Koch didn't play last week as you're going to see him come in here right at the end and make that hit and then after they hit he got up and he started pointing to the bench look who went down that's probably why he was pointing to the bed to say haha you can't even knock him down hahaha [Applause] maybe they'll bring it back to the 20 40 yard punt there it is nearly down that about the one foot the Pontiac Michigan is John Madden I will cover the bears and lions for Thanksgiving Mary Sanders second leading rusher in the NFC leads the rejuvenated lion while Neal Anderson ranked fifth powers the bear chancel to see two of the most exciting performers in the NFL today the Lions and the Bears this Thursday on CBS [Applause] - yard gain left side stop by Andre Colin you know one thing Emma Smith doesn't want to hear and luckily he can't hear this and doesn't want to talk about it the fact that he's fumbled three times in the last two games and as Jimmie Johnson said he talked to his fifth about it he said once that happens to you and so true every defender is going to go for the ball the words going to be out on it and you just have to concentrate more of protecting the ball and you hope that doesn't take away his natural panel picked off by time the rest in defense Martin Mayhew is a very improved player everyone tries to work away from Darryl Greene Darryl Greene pick the best receiver so they try and go to work on Bart Mayhew you can do it once they got him the first time on now but you're not going to get him on that kind of manner he is going to get his share an interception for a touchdown year nearly 31 you are here we go [Applause] [Music] first water low Miller's kicked off in the direction of the Reich be right is shut down and a flag on the play a 14 yard return Brandes let's watch the interception again watch how Martin made you right here can jump on that thing aggressively once he saw that hook now here's the reason here's Martin Mayhew gemenon he has a safety in here behind him now when you're playing that too deep you can jump on little date here because I heard the guy goes beep I got to safety there Mayhew puts the Redskins ahead penalty on the kickoff return by Dallas and they move in back to about the six yard line Richie penny boners made some good calls us far the first time Dallas got in position to go for field goal fully went to Flint talked about a field goal then then they're going to work out their Cormack system - about the 14 stop by menu after a gain of seven first go plan the Giants over Tampa Bay a 70 yard punt return I'm Megan you know I was talking to Richie Pettibone but just a minute ago before the game down on the field we were talking John Madden and I were talking about you know you should be a head coach children he said stick around he probably has up their mind when I [Applause] for so long because for so long he's been one of the the best defensive coordinators for assistant coaches in the National Football League but I think he may be waiting here I don't know how long Joe Gibbs is going to say on his head coach well with a year like he's had this year and as much enjoyment as he seems to be having and he was looser you said yesterday that you'd ever seen it but it's still 11 years and I know Joe Gibson I know that you know what you go through and I don't know how many years you have in you first down Dallas Gary fight wrapped him up for no game [Applause] while you talk to both of these coaches both Jimmie Johnson and Joe Gibbs and one of the things you always ask we always ask what do you think you have to do and they both say they both said yesterday we have to run the ball that's the thing if you can't do that I think that's true at all National Football League the defenses are so sophisticated the offenses cannot become one [Applause] a Qin maybe he fell forward for yard obviously mixup in what was going on I'll tell you what's going to hurt Eggman today is not having Jay Novacek is is tight in there because he really felt comfortable with him and he felt that he was kind of his go-to guy there Dallas Cowboys at their own three wide receivers [Applause] wait tenant for Harper and breaks it up they're the reason everyone goes to Martin a you've got to Martin may hear the bad football player Darryl Greene so they're not going at mei'm you as my friends are going away from Darryl Greene very few team will grow on Darryl Greene who's the best quarterback in the best cover guy in the league so they'll give Mayhew a workout and so far he is certainly risen to the occasion Saxon back to punt [Applause] the rest will take over and their own 27-yard line of 53-yard punt by Saxon that summer all with John Madden were at RFK Stadium in Washington Reston is the unbeaten Ritz in leading seven nothing we're just about to end the first quarter about two minutes left [Applause] you know it's tough being being undefeated because you not only have the the pressure of trying to win a division and then get to the playoffs the championship in a Super Bowl but when you're undefeated that thing is always there you know it's kind of like here should we talk about it or should we not talk about it the Redskins don't really talk about it but they kind of giggle about it to me they almost have to talk about it because everybody else does and and they do an even market of business that we talked about it in our meetings we just don't tell anyone publicly we come on first down at the last 33 couldn't pick up the Sigma are next America get in there if you run to the right side you get to run behind Big Joe Jacoby who is kind of rejuvenated in his 11th year and you run to the left side you get to run behind Big Jim Lachey it was probably the fifth tackle of football so this is a pretty good zone for running back seven yard pickup stop by Nixon Edward you're the interesting thing about that Pro pad we're talking to mark Griffin yesterday there what should toughest throw to make and he said the toughest throw to make is the back out in the backfield like this out in the flat the back coming out of the backfield running in the flat so it's easier to throw hands out up beats anything he said because you get back and set that one and you just go out there you never really get set to throw you're looking at the back of the guy's head all through an opening Larry Brown but binary got7 more you know the interesting thing they've always run that counter GAAP and they pull the garden tackle now what they're doing is they're putting the tight end Donnie Warren in the backfield say and he becomes a puller and a leader so it's not always the garden tackle see the tight end 85 is in the backfield they bring motion this way now watch 85 seed come across and lead that counter is used to be the off tackle you have to fight em at the end of the first corner of the score the risk in seventh the cowboy is coming Kington 7 Dallas nothing as we begin the second quarter that's Ron Middleton he has a sprained knee and his return is questionable at the moment I think it threatened a heck of a job of blocking for this team this year Griffin [Music] the direction of month first order statistics sort of insignificant so far eight with one exception the turnover and then of course the points off turnovers of seven points the other thing I think is right here in these rushing yards you see the Cowboys only have 15 the Redskins only 22 both teams felt coming into game they had to be able to run the ball and usually you start running more in the second third and fourth quarter than you ever do back to throwing as allah Natasha no flag Ricky Sanders Washington came up to make the hit that knocked it loose here we're talking about best tackle to watch Jim Lachey number 79 here the left tackle here he got a little Jersey on that he has a little walk on hill there but he has his arms extended then he gets the arms in and then he just pushes him right by the quarterback in Berryessa footwork you can't beat that all that stuff football hot dogs Apple fly-in Jim Lachey [Applause] Bernd gets it down [Applause] at all those two about the 25 Riley Mackenzie trip tomorrow outside earlier beautiful weekend in Washington sort of threatening on Friday yesterday we're so Indian summer and today is brisk right blustery but perfect for football there's Gerald green pad I'll guarantee he's looking for number 88 Michael Irvin on that play I think you son Harper they went back to throw robert's 7-yard gain stop 5 milli [Music] that's Roberts the tide and who's down and they're starting to run out of tight ends now this is what it's like going against Darrell Green I mean he's not only fast he's the fastest man in the NFL but he's so quick and and as as a Qin said we're talking to Troy Aikman says you know he says I look over there at the guy covered and he says you never see much air between the jerseys their numbers are always close together he said I thought and that's that's tough to throw - that doesn't give you a lot of confidence when you see the white jersey 28 just blended in with the blue jersey of your guy usually he takes Michael Irvin it was interesting after they hit the big wind Alvin Harper that last right he was on Alvin Harper Roberts still being observed a stadium in Washington and Cowboys Alfredo Roberts [Applause] hey it hurts there's this Jay Novacek number 84 the leading pride and receiver he's out of today's game Robert just got hurt [Applause] tripped up by Darryl Greene is remarkable might have got the yard no more now Fredo Roberts is the as the blocker of the group ative Emmitt Smith is going to have a good day running it you need a blocking and tight end back in there in fact he just ran back in there but no but Jack is kind of a plant receiver Rob a wolf depends of past receive excited Alfredo Robert he's a blocking tight to hey Walt and Robert both in the game barbar out about the Dallas first down stop by May here but they got 12 yard you don't see Troy Aikman do a lot of that they're rolling out he looked pretty good on that I mean he moves out there quickly watch him this is just a sprint out he just opens up just prints out their throws on the run that looks like the old college days that's very impressive and that's not a bad changeup either guys start rushing you at a throwing point and it's not bad sometimes change that throwing point Dallas at their own 40 this caught by Michael Irvin by Darryl Greene another first down after a pickup at 74 an NFL update back to New York again and Greg Gumbel Pat you saw that 7-7 score in Tampa here's how the Bucs did it Reggie Cobb on the first play of the second quarter 27 yards the Fox and the Giants are tied in the second quarter Pat back at RFK another look at that last pass completion now of course they don't throw much on Gerald Green here Michael Irvin he just read the hook pattern makes a heck of a catch now make my move [Music] and they went at Darryl Greene with earther incomplete well you know Eggman said last night you said you just can't let Darryl Greene off the hook you said we want to take some shots at him but we want to take deep or up the field shot I think you don't want to run those hooks and turn ends and little things you said if you're going to take a shot take one deep Michael Irvin almost had that one Aikman four out of seven second intent at the resident 39 Washington weaving seven others a wall the roof a mister he hits down to about the 32 stopped by Brad Edward Smith got five he's nearing a thousand yards on the year I'll tell you any running back you want to get into through and out of the hole quickly I'll tell you Emmett Smith does that did you see how quickly boom he was right into that hole I popped right out of it the more time you spend in the hole the more time you spend it around guys that are a whole heck a lot bigger than you are five short of a thousand yards for Emmitt Smith eight 420 today down at five come back to throw AJ Johnson the defender I think if you're going to throw Daryl Johnson you want to throw not in nickel when you have a quarterback on them you want to throw like on first down when you have a linebacker on it fourth down it looks like two look like a cowboy cowboy that goeth they are six and five filaments wild card pictures should be enough for the first down michael irvin seven-yard pickup I think that's what Jimmy Johnson was thinking about that when he said we're going to give you some excitement tomorrow I think he knows that the Redskins are a better team and and if you're going to beat a better team you have to take some chances you can't be conservative and maybe this is the one maybe this is the play that gives his team confidence within this game a joke it doesn't like that someone comes into your Park goes for it on fourth down and makes it [Applause] Troy Aikman the last night I like to play news the 24 - not by Matt Miller I like the grass I like the open stadium I like the crowd this is all floating Eggman he seems very comfortable done I know he is very comfortable I think that you know he's finally in his third year feeling comfortable is him first year the rookie area you know that's kind of a blur to you you're doing in the third year you start to feel comfortable I think your curtain offensive coordinators help that what's coming a loss of eight about numbers I'd say that doesn't help with no one touch a rover Marshall right up here you're going to see him not only come but he is going to come uncut see there's no blocker the full-back goes inside no one touches or even goes towards Wilbur Marshall and I'll tell you if you don't vote for Jabbar knock him off a little he brings a heavy load when he hits you how many guys including Wilbur Marshall did built gifts they to us yesterday are having their career year there was one other money Coleman who's in there [Music] [Applause] Emmitt Smith butts down Dallas the quick draw from 32 yards away I think now boys have a chance to even think when you have a guy like Emmett Smith you just have to keep going to him where's that play with five four to the thousand we know he went over a thousand yards on that flight but again did he hit that hole quickly Willis with Novacek who can't play but Dan hold holding Willis for the actual point now thousands for the earth thorns and whistles and damnit Smith [Applause] he can make some horns go that family will reinforce on the ensuing kickoff McElwee the referee whatever the penalty is I think was against Charles Mann 71 he jumped before the ball was staff [Music] family appearance arrested or you know [Applause] I just what again how quickly he gets in there he makes one miss he is very difficult to tackle the moves that he makes he doesn't give you lunch but there weren't a lot of residents in those pictures 7-7 935 left to play in the first half Dallas 7 Washington 7 a 32-yard story ruined by Emmitt Smith they kept the ball just over 5 minutes [Applause] well us we'll kick it off the direction of Mitchell and Irvin [Applause] both dangerous [Applause] now boys say we got it and they do okay a Jimmie Johnson is opening up here he went for it on fourth [Applause] very compact oh yeah Cowboys are not coming in here at rfk just to stand around sidekick almost had a chance here but there's four Cowboys right on it on great powers or the linebacker up there the frontline [Applause] there were four Cowboys there to get it there whoa the way if you're an underdog playing away you don't say and you feel you out man I think Jimmy Johnson is played on the way you have to play them sidekick work let's sleep they go for a shot right here [Applause] to the occasion on Colin much better do is play it before the whistle blow and if you're going to get Emmitt Smith it doesn't do any good to do a lot of talking after he's down here just a second ago he talked with a touchdown what Kevin Gogan the left guard pulled boom you got to drop right there now watch how fast he gets through the hole and then there is no one there because they're all playing pass defense krumitz second down [Applause] caught fire Dallas first down Darryl Greene Brad Edwards made the stop they're out stay away from Darryl Greene okay I like this I like what the Cowboys are doing I mean there they are going after them they've come in here and just you know they started out a little slowly then they started going after Jill green they started going for it on fourth down they run a grow up wrap they get an onside kick they come back and they go after green this is what you call it back football plus they're keeping the football the hands of the dangerous first Aikman backup first down Aaron Williams that was a covering set he had no one to go to he had time watch this is pretty good protection here bunch of good pocket good pass protection time time look look look couldn't find anything and now of course it breaks down but you have to give that sack to the coverage Williams made the sack but Fred Stokes the 30 [Applause] making a gain of seven the other guy is doing a pretty good job as the rookie right back Eric Williams number 79 to the Cowboys he's drawn Charles Mann he's in there blocking him pretty well this guy's the big guys like six foot six 320 pounds and he played well last week against the Redskins and I think he's playing well against Charles Mann today and didn't play last week maybe a little big but Williams has held his own because we haven't hurt man's name yet third and nine Bobby Wilson now how that fell on the Redskins keep it high now timeout damper them back into the picture you think that would be a favor the shark divvy is the host I think Nikolas made the courser song he did well he had something to do there's the guy who's a gambler today I mean this guy came in here to do some coaching the skinny job 39 [Applause] that could have been caught would have been a tough cat day they have some confidence now you know they know that they don't have to stay away from Darryl Greene they have completed some passes on them now they know that they could go in that direction or down and they're going for it again for the nine [Applause] so much for the pergola picker well you've already got him he probably figured here's a free one and then he got this series off an onside kick back the rest didn't put the pressure on gain of 8 they need a 9 al voice made up in short that's not bad though they almost got into the 20 if you don't feel you can make the field goal from there which you probably did if you punted is probably going to go into the end zone you're going to get there anyway at least you took a shot so they I'm impressed with the way Jimmie Johnson is coach and I know that the players have to like that and it's kept this offense off the field [Applause] are to score with the ball kept the crowd out of the game [Applause] intercepted by a view [Applause] one yard [Applause] 32-yard run by Emmitt Smith [Applause] I think one thing that they you worry about when you don't have the ball for that long you think that bad things are happening and you forget that the score is still tied and you go into pressuring to force the ball itself with the Redskins after worried about now that that eight it's still seven stuff everything's okay [Applause] my second boat the Dallas cover man gain of 12 watch out for Isaac old is off the month instead of covering him he just pointed toward East even as the former coverage he backed off I think he was trying to get a line backers from help because I quote with so FAR's month there's no way that he could have been with Klaus Montcalm wide left this time [Applause] Gary Clark is upset because he hasn't caught a passionate I don't think he was round as down out around 35 he thought they should have taken a shot to him they were both going deep they came off on month Clark thought he should have got the ball and I'll guarantee I know Gary Clark he's going to go back and tell mark Griffin that [Applause] or else he's not going to speak to him he's angry let see you're going to see that he did have them over the middle you see if we can go like this and just stop it now we'll see here's where he throws and here's Clark all by himself and that's what [Applause] Oh Nicosia [Applause] rack them up for a loss of seven cause it would put it in the closet and leave it there that's the thing is you know yo we always talk about running whether it's a sweep or whatever you can't allow penetration Tony Casillas got in the back view he's a tackle you know they're just grunt guys anymore more blue you know they can't see anything they just go in there and start they're separating bodies and you run a revert plug the drain right into the third 17 why Dr Sanders go to that direction terrific bloggers in front the blockers really got it away Bostick was the man he tripped over got nine yard rustle Maryland really starting to come on for the Cowboys got in the middle of that stream Russell Maryland of course was the number one draft choice in the Cowboys you were the number one draft choice and the entire draft and each week he starting to look more and more like it Calvin Martin back deep for Dallas good burn again [Applause] Sidney Johnson the first man down 34 yard punt 8 yard return so they only net 26 at RFK Stadium in Washington as usual sold out 350 left to play in the first half the score tied at 7 at summer all with John Madden you know you can never underestimate a rivalry game you know this game goes back and it's a biggest rivalry and and the Cowboys mystery it's always been a big one for the Redskins and like the big rivalry games in college when they play you never know what's going to happen and away he thought somebody jumped offside again it was that penetration we thought Kim Johnson number 78 he got in that backfield and that will always cause havoc loss of four 178 he's moving early now did he get across there early we don't know that Aikman went to turn the hand off and there was no one to hand off to so the first thing you do is you follow where the ball is supposed to go you see the ball is going to go to the left he didn't get it there so you better follow in that holdup when you're blocking it and if that doesn't work just fall down 14 [Applause] Dallas just arose formation Darryl Greene on the stop they were talking about North Turner as offensive coordinator coming from the RAM this is what he brought to eight men he made apron quicker he made him get back quicker he made him throw the ball quicker he made him throw a rhythm that's what that pass was first and ten Cowboys that there [Applause] and RFK amen the whole [Applause] finally wound up with about three yards charge man made to stop they if you count all these moves you think there'd be a lot more in three yards watch if you start there you cut to the left you make another cut to the left you pass back to the right then you keep going you go backwards then you go forwards and then you spin around and all that you get three yards but somewhere in there is another big play your legs better be in pretty good shape for that one I'm not quite sure and we get down to two minutes left in the first half with the score tied at 7 I got the turkey that we got to get cooked for Thanksgiving I'm trying to get the legs out of here we got to get this thing loosen up a little then we'll get this big old thing cooked and then on Thursday we'll give the turkey leg to the best player in the game that is assuming we can get it out of it I just get some blanks out of there those legs are there tied in or tucked underneath or something remember last year with Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith won it 1989 it was big Reggie way to the Philadelphia Eagles Reggie really enjoyed it yeah I would hope the turkey would cooperate let those legs pop out of it tied to like him the legs on the side I was tucked in inside if I don't know what confined the leg we've got to be in there son [Applause] first down stopped by Darryl Greene a Qin bailed him out of the pack 14 yard gain [Applause] when they you know coming into this game you knew that when Jay Novacek was out that Eggman had to find another go-to guy and you didn't think it would be Michael Irvin because you would think that Darryl Greene would take that away but the Cowboys have found a way to make Michael Irvin their go-to guy he's going by he was the league leader tied to the lead coming and easy [Applause] back Eric Williams he's been a real real hiccup yeah 75 there you'll see him he's he started like he was going to run a stunt and he just ran it and arm over against geese ik and he was right there for the sack he looked like he was going to he was going to go inside then he didn't even go inside he just found that hit with a left arm bring the right arm up over and hands over the fast they call a swim and back to throw [Music] [Applause] or yards on break columns on the stop learning of a third-down I'm still impressed with the job that Eric Williams is doing on Charles Mann I've been watching him pass protect their man is the best pass restaurant in this team and Eric Williams has really done a good job of blocking he certainly has timeout Dallas they have one left they makes her out look look there's not a link right now we can take this thing we can cook it then we'll take these legs off and we'll give it Thanksgiving you're the best player I thought maybe didn't even have any leg we've found the leg I don't know if they'll accept it it 82 the Washington 35 pickup of seven stopped by Monty Coleman that'd be something when did you give an award that I don't want it they look at what we've been going through here they don't want it I think Troy Troy Aikman saw and he said he wants to timeout but I've seen enough of that turkey like let's get a timeout because he wants to he's thinking here that he wants to get in position to take a shot at a field goal at least 13 seconds left coming up at the halftime on the NFL today the Dockers halftime report Greg and Terry with all the scores and highlights and latest information halftime is 13 seconds away Dallas has now used all of their timeouts fourth and seven will be the situation score 7-7 between the Giants and Tampa Bay and at 7-7 here Buffalo's 10 New England 3 Patriots to start to play everybody tough Detroit with their seven and four record in the Minnesota would playoff hopes right here this is the third time in the first half that the Cowboys are going for it on fourth down their choice is to kick a field goal it would have been a 51-yard field goal I think they want to get a first down and then maybe go for the field goal back to throw puts down when Harper out of that back [Applause] that sound from 34 years at Harvard the shot for Aikman Gary Johnson hasn't made one that conservative cause today I saw to kick a field goal they think the heck with it let's go for the jump you're playing here take the thing it's 4th down a third time and the first graph that got for the 4th look at this ball up in the air number 80 Alvin Hartford coming up with it how can that have right in the middle of five Redskins and he caught it clean usually those things are dipped where you catch him on a rebound he caught that thing it wasn't even gift well as for the Novacek holding and the Cowboys will go the 14-7 four seconds left so they will have to kick it off okay that was a beautiful gesture I don't know that I've seen football like the Cowboys are playing where you come in and play as aggressively as they have we've had him go for fourth down on three three times without him get an onside kick they pulled out all the spots in this first half and I haven't seen a catch like that on the Hail Mary the alley-oop whatever you call it it's RC Owens used to do it well you know there was just one a couple of weeks ago remember a couple of Hail Marys and it be at the end of the game and there was one again it went up like that untouched Jimmy Johnson came here to coach and he has done an impressive job in the three years he's been with the Cowboys but this first half of coaching has been very very impressive first handle plagued by his players have been has been very impressive he has a pretty wrapped item about this one down [Applause] there and feel this [Applause] down seven at the lorry back they into the first half or Dallas or team Washington seven what is sponsored by Levi's doctors relax you're among friends welcome back to our studio in New York everyone Greg Gumbel along with Terry Bradshaw those of you watching the Washington Redskins and those gambling Dallas Cowboys it's worked out so far for the Cowboys they lead the unbeaten Redskins 14 to 7 at halftime as the Redskins go for their 12th straight win of the season 12th in a row at RFK Stadium as well Troy Aikman picked off early however by Martin Mayhew where the corners are settling for the Redskins are just sitting there and that's just a bad read by Troy Aikman meanwhile the Cowboys it was tempted to play on fourth down three times have been successful twice including with four seconds left eight men - Alvin Harper 34 yards and the touchdown meanwhile Emmitt Smith having a good first half he's had Emmitt Smith had 68 yards rushing you're going to see this little this is a drop trap drop trap to run to make it look like a draw to get these guys to drop deep the key block here trail ain't going to come back in and slide over but this right tackle comes down ends go out and he will come across and smash this linebacker there you'll see the gap created by the offensive trapping guards look at this set up like pass pull out and then kick out good block by the tight end now Emmitt Smith that's 32 yard touchdown run beautiful job by the Cowboys and as you said they have gamble and it is paying off Smith was running for one Aikman is thrown for one it's 14-7 Dallas at halftime also at halftime in Tampa the Bucs and the New York Giants are 7-7 the Giants in three previous attempts have never beaten the Bucks in Tampa Dave mega got the Giants started early this is what he does best you put him on a kick off our punt return and just hang on here breeches guys got great speed great elusive in a little you know he's been banged up but now he's back in this is the big question for the giant meanwhile Reggie Cobb brought the Bucs back 27 yards and the touchdown that pulled the Bucs into a tie the Giants of men is just 46 yards of total offense in the first half the Giants lost Lawrence Taylor with a sprained left knee ligament on that block by Ian Beckles of the Bucks we are told that Lawrence Taylor who was helped off the field in Tampa will not return today Giants in the Bucs are tied at 7 it has to at New England the Patriots and the Buffalo Bills it's ten to three bills as they approach halftime Minnesota and Detroit the Lions lead it by a field goal at halftime at the Metrodome Indianapolis and Green Bay at 7:00 three Packers at half-time Houston and the Steeler Steelers with three field goals leading the Oilers 9 7 in the second quarter halftime at Cleveland the Browns have shut out the Chiefs so far it's 10 nothing and the Raiders in Cincinnati are leading 28 to 7 that is a halftime score in the NFL today continues here on CBS after this word from your local station [Music] [Applause] RFK Stadium in Washington the Dallas Cowboys after being down seven nothing of bounce-back and they lead at the half over the unbeaten Redskins 14-7 then said to us last night we're going to show you some fun some different things some excitement and indeed they have its work - if you look at the fourth down and five remember they went for it they got it then they scored on that play and then just at the end of the half again that was a fourth down play fourth and seven I thought maybe they try and go and get a a field goal boom they go and they get the touchdown so he did gamble he did gamble with fourth down he did gamble on the onside kick and of course that gives him - 14 to 7 lead and after the game remember they got the fourth down after that fourth down play then they had this play the touchdown to Emmitt Smith and then you talk about a gamble this again was a fourth down maybe they try and get the first down like I said kick a field goal not Jimmie Johnson not Alvin Harper they went for the whole play and he caught it untouched untouched by a defender a lot of them in the area but nobody in a position in Otter Tail here's little Miller's kickoff and it's a line [Applause] down by Alexander right we'll start from the 20-yard line they lead 14-7 lo Miller had had a bad back only ticked one day during the week he didn't show any signs of weakness with that kickoff did he here we Johnson hasn't let his cowboys show any any weakness at all I think that in that first half they really got a lot of confidence I think day offensive line got confidence like a past attack he can throw the ball riding the wide receivers obviously got confidence efficient good opening catcher out of bounds knocked out by Mayhew a gain of about eight yard there the Cowboys are just coming in here and really taking it right to them I mean here they're running inside they're running outside they're running right to running left there again pass protecting and they really have a good offensive game plan today that guy over 22 Emmitt Smith boy he's it wherever he's been high school college and now the pros he's been the best or up above the best second of two [Applause] for a purse a gain of four Tim Johnson and Brad Edwards made the stop you know Emmitt Smith has so many booms and stuff watch if you just give them a little whole bunch of blocking up here they start the double-team on the nose tackle the guard comes off on Matt Millen coming they just get a little crack in there and that's all he need then he can go in forward to turn sideway and he is tough to get a shot on is one of the one of those guys who never gets hit hard Harper should have been maybe should have been taught but hard to be critical after the catch he made he put on my head you know he has two things going for Troy Aikman does today that gives a quarterback confidence one he has a good running game going the other thing he has good pass protection even on a pass like that it wasn't successful he still had time the only way the Redskins can get to him is with Clifton sit outside the 35 to about the 36 stop my man but a gain of four just watch this run on me as we look at it on the clicker here he just starts off running and then he makes so many moves that he just starts in the hole and then he starts going straight ahead and then he's going to take the ball and then bounce it to the outside five bringing a project in flip Calvin Martin wide open and out of Bounce first and Allison territory AJ Johnson a Qin is down a Qin took a big hit just after he let it go and he knows he's hurt and I think he's more upset about being hurt than hurt by being hurt backup quarterback number seven years Steve Beuerlein Cowboys made it trade with him for the Raiders but again aiklen has been almost perfect today but watch his hit that he takes again he they have him down below they have around his leg and he takes the hit up on top and even with that the hit below and he hit on top he throws a perfect pass at Kelvin Martin [Applause] remember the coaching staff was saying to us Aikman still down 13 out of 19 on the day they were saying he's just taking too many hits with Jimmie Johnson looking on with assistance it's not as bad as it looks in our opinion watch his right leg [Music] [Applause] you see jumpy gathers was 97 and he had the lake and then Charles Mann was coming up at BOTS and the leg the right leg just got twisted and we provide and is open the flag is down flag down on the play Alvin Harper again and at that same move that Alvin Harper caught the deep one early is that out and up and if you're going to go deep against the Redskins that's always been a way to do it with the double move it's against the Redskins just don't try and go deep but do it with a double move and I think they got the penalty on the first move defensive pass interference number 35 may you who scored the touchdown but you'll see it right here here's Harper here's Mae you and the independantly is going to occur down the field as we go down the field you see Harper's coming off Mayhew's going off with him you see when he gives a little pivot there that's the one that held may you then when Mayhew went to to come up to him he put his hand on I don't know that you've been defensive holding or pass interference that called past interference any case in the first down and visited by Andre Collins that really meant they're checking a cleanse right knee something had to give the way he went down ankle leaves something that's what they're checking that he had planted in the right way and then jumpy gathers had that on the bottom and Charles man hit him on the top the one they're really checking is the right one and then what they will do is they will check the right one against the left one that's what they would take a look check to right when then they'll see you at the left one is life [Applause] is probably the best quarterback in the NFC we had said that they will motion out of the end zone and over everybody Alvin Harbor the intended receiver about New England all right steel weeds Minnesota ten seven there one day when you have a young quarterback like a Troy Aikman me backup doesn't get a lot of work because eight minutes only his third year so when something like this happens you get a guy like Steve Beuerlein who hasn't played a lot [Applause] practiced a lot because a guy like Ethan will get posted deflected by Wilber Marshall on its way to her about boy made again it was just a little it wasn't there as quickly as it should be you see that thing is from a football phone be there a little quicker plus it was tipped before it got there so maid was in good position Novacek will hold Urban's shaking up a little bit down 32 yard field goal attempt coming up by Willis [Applause] I think they're going to take that when they put that that stick them on that's to hold a tape job they're preparing them for a tape job but they're going to do is they're going to try and take that up and then see if he can go after he gets it supported they've decided it's a sprain of the right knee from 33 yards we just missed it they didn't even rush directions just stood there it remains 47 left in the third quarter Dallas 14 Washington 7 Dallas has had the ball ten minutes more than Washington here's the Aikman injury again you'll see the right leg planted getting tackle and twisted or right there [Applause] Carrie Clark the second reception of the day stop by Larry Brown that's only the 23rd play that the Redskins have had and I think that's that's a problem here you say these are Redskins haven't done anything and then you look at it they haven't done anything because they haven't had the ball second it's short [Applause] you say they had the ball [Applause] the diviner you didn't get the first down Del Rio you want justice this defense you see they got seven guys up in the box seven guys that are play and run like what the Cowboys are doing they say we are not going to give you the run if you're going to beat us today mark rippen is going to have to do it throw in the ball you see us again got the penetration and they'll reel made the stop third and one Clark move the motion a lot of guys Griffen [Applause] [Music] Ricki sander [Applause] and I think the fact that the Cowboys have had to ball so much is affected mark Ripon today because he hasn't been able to get into a rhythm he hasn't been able to get into sync and I don't even know that he's been able to get warmed up yet if he has he's had to do it several times there's a good side create and put his pants back on that's always a good sign that means you're thinking you're going to play again good burn spot yes disgusted by AJ Johnson first antenna down [Applause] they're on 31 they lead 14-7 roulette Troy Aikman up and walking around sprained right need obviously still in pain whether he'll be back or not we'll just have to wait and see fact that he's moving is pretty good news that look on his face doesn't look like a guy who feels like he could still fly perfect get down [Applause] it is a catch michael irvin hey that was a good throw I mean Steve Beuerlein got back there and he threw a dart out here to Irvin again again they're working on green you know they put green on the toughest guy but they've been getting out there and they've been getting him moved the guy's a hips turn on that one that's what Jimmie Johnson says if we can get his hips turn then we can beat him and he thinks he can get him unopposed to be [Applause] 46 Danny Copeland made the stop a flag on the play Smith got four [Applause] there haven't been a lot of penalties in this game it's [Applause] that's only the third the third penalty a little pill eagle block in the back somewhere eighty ten yards I guess Harper a porch down still first down as one day when you have a a good runner you have a great runner like an Emmitt Smith he's going to have big runs your wide receivers have to make a block that's when they you always encourage him to do is get out there and then make a broth and sometimes you don't know what it's coming sometimes that guy you'll go to block a guy that guy's too quick and he'll turn on you you'll get him in the back on first down thank the throne arrested become active Harold Greene again urban a flag with a play back way back deep in the Dallas backfield throwing her line through it from there's an offensive holding hands hands to the face number 79 offense ten yards first out the Cowboys Eric Williams that is a tough one that's about a 40 or 50 yard penalty because you look at this per line can wait a de panne number 79 is Eric Williams and you'll see the flag right there I don't know sometimes in pass protection you get your hands in places it's got to let him play either first of 28 the Cowboys are really high on Derrick Williams there right ten-yard family the 20 yard game after the 30 yard [Music] know about the 33 stop by Wilbur Marshall Gator played at the University of Florida I don't know that I have ever seen a team throw and complete as many passes on Darryl green as the Cowboys have here today even though that last one that 20 yarder you know they didn't get it because of the penalty Green has given them confidence and when you giving them confidence is like sending out an invitation they're going to keep doing it until you stop one of those things Darryl Greene has to knock one down to pick one off or they're going to keep working on red skins only touchdown came on an interception by Maine you Jacque the time and words hit him while he was juggling was the thing they're usually usually the safety or Edward will go help away from green they think if they can get that on green there won't be a safety there this time Brad Edwards just stayed in the middle so he could help anyone who comes in the middle third and 18 or first down for down they lead 14-7 748 lat look they thrown seven attempts on Darryl green for 71 yards today damn bounce out laughter clock after all the bouncing he lost the yard well the defense did their job the offense should get pretty good field position now the offense of the Redskins has to get some rhythm here Saxon back to puck Brian Mitchell very dangerous back deep for the that's another way when is duty a quick return special teams can turn around a game for you too some of the best lights going to be returnable to [Applause] up at about the 28 by Darrell Johnston fill the rich kids will take over after a line drive 43 yards [Applause] Ricky Ervin's right now let's take you back to New York through our studios Greg Gumbel for an update all right Pat in Tampa Rodney Hampton five yards and a touchdown the Giants lead 14-7 that they've lost four starters to injury today including quarterback Jeff Hostetler we'll have x-rays taken on his back Phil Simms is now quarterbacking the Giants in the third quarter captain Troy Aikman is down as the Dallas quarterback the sprained knee right now it's rich in balls second down 88 for a first first I think they Joe Gibbs ascent Ricky Ervin's in here as they as a change of pace I think your Evans is going to give them a little that Emmitt Smith look a little more quickness a little more that movement to darting that type of thing and sometimes as a coach when when you're not in sync you're looking for a rhythm sometimes just just by switching a little thing like that putting Urban's in there can change a momentum your way as you can see they're going to measure I said first down too quickly about an inch short [Applause] without Riggs in I think we're going to see more of urban so I think Rick's will come in here for the short yardage play if the Redskins get the first down and I think Ricky Ervin's is going to go back in because I think they're going to expect to loosen up this cowboy defense with Ricky Urban 603 left in the third quarter Dallas 14 Washington 7 they're an interesting thing it's been the Redskins have not scored a touchdown here at RFK against the Cowboys since 1988 [Applause] from strimmin they got the touchdown today on an intersection a man in motion Ray Horton you're heard Greg Gumbel perhaps a minute ago talk about the injured Giants they are Hostetler Lawrence Taylor out with a knee dug reason Berg with a bad ankle and Mark Collins out with ribs so they've lost four starters in Tampa today [Applause] will hurt a defending Super Bowl champion more than another team of injuries that's one thing to I really haven't had this year Griffin the Cowboys put on Norton right in his face with Casillas that's what they wanted to do they they figured they didn't want him to be able to step up and throw and you see what happens Norton there that's the second or third time that Ken Norton has been in there and doing that he's provided to pass rush today for the cowboy and again that's their defensive game plan stop the run and take the run away make mark grip and beat you and then knock ripping down every time he goes along throwing down now a second at 10:00 [Applause] here by Del Rio and again for an NFL update let's take you back to New York our studios and Greg Gumbel Saten John this time the metrodome in minnesota watched Barry Sanders just a little daylight he goes 46 yards for his second touchdown of the day and the Lions have expanded their lead over Minnesota 2:17 7 in the 3rd catch both those teams still going into today at least had playoff hopes big short 7 full record situation mark grip and go a gesture de-rate the third and seven or more he's back to throw for Ricky Sanders and again the Redskins will have to punt with just over four minutes left to play in the third quarter in Dallas leading 14-7 Gary Clark is one upset guy this guy is a heck of a competitor and when things don't go his way or don't go well he wants to be a part he wants to be the guy that's going to make it happen and then when he can't be he gets very frustrated Martin back deep Cowboys that comes close to blocking a couple of months again I do that [Applause] about the nice game the Redskins their Dallas will take over all the time and just in case there's a bad staff is that you don't expect to get one you see how they overload right here this is their overload this is decide they're going to come on the block from now if everything goes perfectly they can't get there but if there's a bad holder the guy bobbles it or something they think that when you get the punt block got a high snap and they almost got and it's meant that the carry Dallas ball a Qin will appear to be through for the day when you get I would think so I saw that look in his face you at first you try the tape job to see if the tape job in or breaks works and then you try to see how how the injury is is holding up and you can tell by the look on his face but no matter what the brace did or the tape job that it didn't work and create there is little play anymore today and the Cowboys have to Blake Pittsburgh on Thursday Smith 21 carries 400 yards over a thousand on the year Martin about the 38 18 yard pickup stop by Danny : [Applause] this may be a time where this crate for Steve Beuerlein cruise you know the Cowboys had Troy Aikman and they were satisfied of course it he's one of the best but they weren't satisfied with their bet with primitive axe backups anyone if they want to Berg then they felt they had to upgrade that and they upgraded it for this guy Steve Beuerlein does Eggman your even know if it works or not but now you find while the pick up the ball at demand jumped offsides [Applause] go Smith in front of the Dallas Matt Millen chased him down super light if he couldn't believe that Charles Mann was there pearl I'm still talking about it he was telling man that he couldn't do that right basement jumped offsides i-71 defense five-yard first out man jumped offsides and he's darn near beat the handoff there how about that Pittsburgh Houston score Pittsburgh 23 to 7 over Houston legitimate offside watch man now he cuts there at the same time to handoff he's reaching in there he's grabbing her lines arm and the hands off to Emmitt Smith and Emmitt Smith was still a good enough athlete to pick that thing up take it around and first in five two minutes left third quarter Dallas leading by a touchdown Tommy Agee the deep back yeah [Applause] [Music] jumping running and banging our information is now that unless everybody gets hurt Aikman is out for the rest of the day encroachment 71 defense five-yard that's the second one in a row for Charles Mann that time he was in there he's trying to say that the tight in Alfredo Roberts move [Applause] I guess he did because he can't be a flagman for 10-yards of penalties right there first down Cowboys at their own 48 minute and a half left in the third quarter [Applause] urban why back at the line of scrimmage whistle blow before II threw the ball back give me Johnson isn't going to complain he remembers what happened last week [Applause] it looks like the right back you see seventy-nine Eric William Lawrence many moved before the high our first on the whistle blew the officials flew that ball dead before Steve Beuerlein threw the ball I heard the whistle premiere oh yeah whether they're right or wrong I know that the whistle fit blow Johnson was so excited last week up in New York he thought he's top down this week when he's out any calmer right now [Applause] first down I know I know and he completed that that big one in during the penalty and then he completed another one that there was a penalty and then he comes back with this one he's doing this under adversity again they're working on Darryl Greene that's not much of a pattern Darryl Greene is really playing off too far I think he has to get up and get on Michael Irvin before he lets him get down field he's giving them way too much cushion and he doesn't have to Michael Irvin has trouble with press or tight couple he's caught seven passes today [Applause] for about school made the stop we wind down to the end of quarter numbers 3 with Dallas up by touchdown look throwing against Darryl Greene had completed 8 for 88 yards [Applause] that's the end of the third quarter with the score Dallas 14 Washington 7 our coverage will continue after this message from your local station you're watching the NFL on CBS I alfredo Roberts most to a first down and it is though they are made the stop Steve Beuerlein has come in and he's been very cool Washington only five first down look at that time of possession and I'll tell you the other big thing is look at that rushing yards 31 this is back to what they were a couple years ago this is what they were the last time Dallas beat about Thanksgiving Day in Dallas and they changed from this and now they're back to it today [Applause] Smith to about the 22 [Music] [Applause] we are game second six you know here it is your 11 or no you got this undefeated thing you got to dream you got the history and it all comes down to one quarter okay you really got to play for I mean this is something that's worth fighting for and I don't know I mean the Redskins to me we're in the fourth quarter now but the Redskins to me have looked flat all day and a cowboy again you got to give them credit because they've had a lot to do with making them look so far second at seven this situation where Johnson said they'll come after you here they come touchdown tacular cat Dallas 20 Washington's seven just catch and we see he turned out great he got his hips turned they started putting the clothes above look at the height of this you say that was a great cat Willis with Novacek the head 21-7 eight catches for 117 yards and a touchdown and stone Troy Aikman out with a sprained right D but Steve Beuerlein is come in and Duncan done a heck of a job the total yardage difference is incredible Dallas 357 - the Washington Redskins 107 Michael Irvin eight receptions the touchdown you just saw a moment ago Dallas threw out of three on fourth down and that's been a big key as well of course the whole gambling of Jimmie Johnson today yet for those fourth down plays you had to the big day - Michael Irvin and then you remember the onside kick was another gambling play that worked for Willis ticking it off Mitchell at the 5:00 [Applause] is that again and again catch work looking at again look watch it on the quicker now Urban's going to come here and he's going to try and get his hips turn stay right there against Darryl Greene gets burned out now when they're turned out now he can go inside to the Pope and then he does that that was just a heck of a catcher with Paul was thrown behind him and all that but as he comes down to feel he was key in his hip once he would go straight out him and get his hips turn and then boom he was going to go to the inside 41-7 back to throw [Applause] intercepted by the cowboy very proud Gary Clark the intended receiver [Applause] I think the Redskins were faith forced to do that when they got to touchdown down now they couldn't run anymore now they had to go and they they felt they had to do something quickly so you have to do something quickly you start going for the big one you start forcing things you start throwing bad passes and that was one of all of those things whose watch the coverage over here you see they're going to run Clarke deep you seen Larry Brown is just staying underneath them that's a bad throw he saw it all the way just picked it off his X Games offense way oppressing now going too far [Applause] around [Applause] named as one of those in the Ring of Honor for what a player he was not the same one no it's not the same one I think when you think of tough running backs Thank You Larry Brown I think I ever saw him score standing up because kotas always fly through the air we had not through the air behind the line by Fred Stokes [Applause] again let's send you back to our New York studios well that if it's happening at the Metrodome it must be Barry Sanders from four yards out his third TD of the day his League leading 13th of the year as they begin the fourth quarter is 24/7 Lions who are preparing for the Bears Thanksgiving day here on CBS at Gregg 21-7 here shocker as the Cowboys trying a bring in that 11 game risk in winning Veronica ah Nikola today by the Redskins I thought this quarterback might have been hurt yeah they've already lost loss take it looked like Beuerlein could have gotten one here they come out of me all flip go out quit he just cracked out the way that you normally don't bend but it's left now laughing - seven [Applause] Washington with a long way to go Merline is limping Steve Beuerlein get his ankle retake after that hit by Coleman done good job and it looked like he could be back that back up great we can't play [Applause] first attend residence wait rippen back try six by Washington you know Troy Aikman is out Steve Beuerlein is playing that great cup is the 46th player you can have 45 actors you can have an extra quarterback Congrats as an emergency so real [Applause] larger gain of seven second down and three situation coming up as they hurry up no huddle the risk is so that they need to press down Russell Maryland broke up the middle free clock with 11 minutes one second left in Dallas leading 21 7 here you have to like what the Cowboys done have done all day to keep the Redskins on a rhythm a lot of it has been the offense a lot of the defending quarterback and Michael Irvin a lot of his credit defense but I think you have to give a whole batch of credit to Jimmie Johnson I think he came in here today was a very aggressive gameplay and three Isak scores around they might take off of it sound rich chance Griffin having a thing through and you can feel the urgency of the Redskins they know they're 11 and oh they're undefeated season is slipping away from them right here and you can feel urgent he goes in a hurry hi Clark the first down in the game of 13 Johnson takes the ball hit the ground you redirect the wants to look at and he wants to look at it before they get this ball they got the ball fast so it doesn't make any difference Robert William aid your game here's the one if they beat the replay - anyway it didn't make any difference but the Redskins are going no-huddle they're gone again everyone has to be thinkin if you can do it now why didn't you do it all day like this that's what the Buffalo Bill said that's why they use them no huddle Jimmy Johnson saying timeout we got to slow this thing down let's get over here regroup get this thing back under control that past a month good for another risk and first down on a ten yard watching them Maksimir all with John Madden look at the wide receiver comparisons over you know coming here with a posse and everything you think that washer we have the 247 the interesting thing 60 of those guard to the Reston I've just come on this five receptionist reskinned ready to go at the cowboy 22 24 yard line I think there could keep this hurry up they could all if they got a real shocker to keep it going started inside back outside there come back to throw [Applause] the cover man it will bring up second at 10:00 Dallas has two timeouts remaining Washington all of their Gary Clark ran a beautiful pattern on that that's a corner pattern what you do is you go down and you make the defender see about my time you make them think you're going in and then you go back out and then the ball was thrown deep so then as you went back out he could also go up to the corners enough to the end zone the bows of reference protection is really held up to play they brought a safety man Ray Horton to pressure rippin and you're not going to see Karen Clark crowd we're out of them he's even taking off his blog but the reason he didn't let the ball get too close to a body you see it he gets it in there and the ball comes in hits the shoulder pads and bounces out but you see you got to catch it out in front of oh just hit his right elbow bread his elbow to his shoulders has never did get a feeding third and ten thirty-eight left to play in motion they only rust three this guy into please Ricky Sanders [Applause] I am mark brick but has done his part he throws too - Clarkson he drop and another one here - Ricky Sanders that one could have been touched by Larry Brown and what also looked like it could have been a touchdown [Applause] where's the overthrew Clark three passes ago who won the Clark that was brought and then broke this one [Music] Hanson got it away or something but when you favor an undefeated season you guys those have to be touchdown they're going on foreign kin get that over made the stop the risk ends it moved the chain 13-yard pickup the Redskins are going without a huddle again I think this is their best football at the starting today close to the end zone ten like the restive offense finally got a wake-up call Jimmy Johnson had this thing under control the Redskins went to the no-huddle they changed the whole pace of the game and they've taken over first and goal at the 1 remember they still need to touchdown [Applause] that's left to play that was 21 happy jumbo [Applause] touchdown rockin town for the championship prize that taya stay unbeaten drives like that [Applause] sometimes [Applause] namely two yards got the touchdown on the [Applause] touchdown heavy jumbo for tight hands one running back the clock didn't get it with the big client [Applause] - Ricky Ervin's here you see the Redskins control the line of scrimmage good leave blocked by Donnie Warren ripped right in behind it [Music] [Applause] if you look 170 yards thank you yard and their first offensive touchdown against Dallas here that's 1988 I think galas came out with a gameplay handed the Redskins away and took them off balance at him back under heel they were back on their heels for three quarters and they finally on that drive started half of their toes shotgun Big John was right at Darryl Greene most people do handle 26 where Dallas will [Applause] [Music] parts in a game that if they [Applause] the courts two ways big part of the game they have to stop them the risk investor stock when we get the ball back the Cowboys they have to control it they need some first down first and Alice eight minutes 12 seconds left to play I'm going to sit on it so pressure no robbers would be the players on the field can feel it they know this undefeated players on the bench stoic [Applause] this particle crate to fund the Phoenix [Applause] race teams these French kids wanna be there's twice and a dolphin by Harper Dallas first down and may you [Music] Harper is a Ricky number one draft choice and I think that you know he started and he was just out there playing but today I think he became an NFL Pro he caught the pass just before half-time that book Dallas ahead [Applause] [Music] we're already touchdown [Applause] for this money [Applause] back near midfield may you and Edward [Applause] there's joy went out with a sprained right knee look at the Dallas wide receivers a hundred yards a touchdown goes into typing numbers if he expected the Redskins in the posse not from the Dallas Cowboys against the Redskins back at three you feel the urgency here we will want you to start so they often can get got to go stop short of the first app I Mayhew it Stokes it will be third one you don't think this sets up a big first down Jimmie Johnson has been gambling all day now if you wanted to continue your gambling this would be a great spot to go for a play back fake the rhyme and get them up if we're all going to be up there whole rescue have to be up there to stop the run fake the running floral fast third and short Mandie 54 Dallas to stop Emmitt Smith got four yards that's a big purse down you're talking about the old Larry Brown flying up at Emmitt Smith watch him on this one he flies for a first down you're going to get a first down give it to your best guy he just took off and he didn't land until he was four yards downfield that's what you call walking on air what you call watching yourself we asked him last week before they played the Giants how many times he liked the handle of all he said about 18 maybe 20 today's had at 27 they don't get into the rhythm so around 12 or 15 tons of wind about the 41 Williams tripped him up they blitz the safety man [Applause] watch.watch Emmitt Smith here and just as eyes he's looking he knows where he's going he's looking at the whole is looking to where he has to go and he's going to read this thing it's a little draw he knows there's nothing inside pop it out and cut it back second at six [Applause] [Music] he's going to get some more chances look west again ripped up in the back play the rest consider and a timeout stopping the clock with 404 left to play Alice up by their opponent in 1934 was the Chicago Bears by the Cowboys third and nine this tribe has consumed at 17 seconds the rest in West again quickly over in another first down Darryl Greene what he needed leave her life recognize the play he knew that he couldn't get into the run he had to throw it Darryl Greene is up there tight the way he should be he takes on urban urban gets away he has the bigger body he uses a bigger body for maybe the biggest first down of the game michael irvin limping off after you catch nine passes for a hundred and thirty yards and a touchdown I think it deserved to get a little rap great comes out with him down to the rest gen 25 by Edwards that allowed him to do it this is a great pride I know that allowed him that passed by where line the Michael Irvin allowed him now go back slow again go back to him and spin to run out the time the Redskins have already used to title one timeout they only have two left and now the Cowboys want to slow everything down 245 left on the game plot my seven out of 12 one touchdown 109 yards in the backfield by Tim Johnson a loss of two and the Redskins take another timeout they're down to one and another big third down coming up I think the Cowboys and Timmy Johnson are probably thinking right now that they can take two plays to get a first down now or take one play and go for a field goal that's that's what he has to think now it was interesting when we talked to Jimmie Johnson the week ago he said that they have in successive weeks they had to play Houston in Houston the Giants in New York and the Redskins in Washington who said he felt to make the playoffs they had to win one of the three well when they lost to Houston and they lost to New York and this was at last one of three it looked off we blitz sure did you're playing the team that's 11 and OH but right now they lead it by a touchdown 223 left on the game clock Troy wake went out with a sprained right knee you know and now you go for the first down here do you think of two downs there you go to kick and you remember that they've already missed two field goals to the back in the games with wide to the right a wall the rest gets joy if I'd have jumped offside but Emmitt Smith now may here was coming on a blitz they might have blown this one dead before it ever got underway well if they did it's going to be a break for the Washington Redskins they got to review the comic 71 defense that tunnel is declined first now to be justice to say it hold on to the ball I tell them it's miss eight we don't need any more touchdowns we don't need any more first downs we don't need to break away anything you know he's reminding me knows what happened in Houston all we want to do is hold on to the ball let this stuff but I know exactly what he's talking about you think they need to be told yet I don't know well sometimes they they just have four reminders you have to go through the motions of Ellery first and ten almost a bubble the bad exchange between the center of the quadrant 2 minutes and 17 seconds now level Jimmy Johnson wasn't thinking of that he was thinking of the running back he won't suspect in the exchange water back before the snack how long it would happen I look like the center miss on a snap can well or Beuerlein left early and that will happen sometimes the quarterback will forget the snap count and Steve Beuerlein I would bet was the guy who forgot the snap count he moved early first and 15 today's game was produced by Robert d sinner directed by sandy Grossman the NFL today produced by Eric man directed by Dukes truck senior producer of the NFL on CBS at Doren the executive producer is Ted shake [Applause] [Music] [Applause] three perhaps I'm out there's been a lot of gutsy performances today risking Emmitt Smith know you'd have to say is a gutsy performance the offensive lines of the Cowboys I think done is sn2 done outstanding job Michael Irvin Troy Aikman staying in there and then with Troy Aikman went down Steve Beuerlein coming in and making some of the big plays that he's made but the best friend of a quarterback is a good running game and once you have that going it's easy to keep other things going what Dallas defense has done a heck of a job the whole defensive unit [Applause] Redskins can just see this thing slipping away you know you get into these rivalry games and it's amazing what a rivalry can do because I don't think anyone would argue coming in the Redskins are a better team at the cowboy I think since I've been at broadcasting John I've done something like thirty five risk in cowboy games the most memorable one has to be the quit long way game but this one ranks right up there [Applause] the jars Tim Johnson at the bottom of the pile Redskins are out of timeouts but they'll get the two-minute warning to stop the clock Dallas 21 Washington 14 two minutes to go there's the guy this both of us exhume Pat Summerall with John Madden Dallas 21 Washington 14 [Music] Willis put it away he's missed twice today [Music] but I think the thing that the Cowboys are thinking here is that the Redskins don't have any time out just get the ball on the ground and take time off the clock I don't even know if you have to conceal have taken him out of range his fear go away it won't have been 37-yard that's going to be 42 I didn't know that they can out-trick themselves like they needed I don't think they needed that I think they could have just set foot foot hammock strip in there and him I think they needed a trick with Steve Beuerlein on that play but they've done everything else so perfectly today if I don't even have to bring that up it makes a five yards longer field goal and they can't afford another penalty or it would take him out a raid if they run too much time out off of the clock [Applause] probably going to let it go this down to three they're probably going to take the time out I said first towards timeout Novacek is the holder they have two timeouts left Alice with a minute and 19 seconds left to play [Applause] Dallas down to one timeout remaining Novacek the holder Willis the kick this time is and Alice lead is now 10 you're the big thing about that drive Brad they got the field goal I don't know if they needed that or not but after after the Redskins scored they took 707 off that clock on that drive and they took a lot of years off his life yourself and that thing hook in there who did you see is you talking about stress and then the release of stress there was a picture of let's just thinking it just started outside the right upright and just let it come on in Hoka coupon is whoa [Applause] if he hadn't been a soccer cast style kicker that would have been good but you know one that he did miss to took too much that was over they left up right but again they took all the wind out of sales and reskins by hole in that ball seven minutes and seven seconds on that drive that was a heck of a drive boy you're so right the Redskins were coming back and rolling let us kick off driver so back 2:37 almost rotate 23 yard return stop by James Washington the risk is out of timeouts with a minute and eight seconds left to play and down by ten you know what the Redskins could do here is I would try get one play get epitomize you know hit it down inside the 40 and kick a field goal right now then going on side kick and then try and get it against about their only hope a lot of surprising scores around the NFL today [Applause] caught but not out of bounds by Clark Ricky Sanders Vega pardon [Applause] he's going to be able to get off the field I still think we have to get one more [Applause] and complain mark had it and lost it hit by Ray Horton here's the Redskins gave it a good run being undefeated I thought they had a good chance of going undefeated but there's some people say maybe it's good to lose a game I've never believed that theory Knuffle never believed that the loss ever helped anyone and I know Joe Gibbs well enough I know Joe Gibbs doesn't believe that baloney rip it back to throw under 40 seconds left now mark [Applause] now I think they got to kick the field goal just throw the ball up a stick until goal onside kick then go for it [Applause] still running Griffin stops it with 25 seconds left I'm going to say that's what I do they aren't going to do that so that doesn't make any difference so much for thinking well it's a way it's the only way the only way you have a chance to win you don't have a chance to win the other way because you need to scores for this game is presented by authority of the National Football even CBS telecast intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other usually this telecast without the express written consent of CBS to Washington risk in ankle football league is prohibited [Applause] seconds left that's the other way you have a chance to win a touchdown pass then go for the outside kick and then kick a field goal Beverly marker down right at the goal line let's see what this is about [Applause] well they called it a touchdown so it couldn't be that he didn't get in there they call it a touchdown again that's Bob Knakal we the referee great it's a nice grid toning against number 83 enforcement like of the 15 yards only on the kickoff oh that's going to really kill is it because now they can't go for the onside kick they're calling that taunting [Applause] 15-yard penalty is on throw the ball and any must've said something 24:20 mobilers kick is good let's watch that touchdown bystanders again all right you see number 30 eyes the cult leader in the ground and he throws the ball right at Isaac old Isaac old body is then hope jumped up like it did maybe hole through that that flight right now for another NFL update back to greg goebel the New York Patton John at Tampa Phil Simms in a quarterback for the injured Jeff Hostetler a 30 yard touchdown pass to Steven Baker with 16 seconds to play in regulation the Giants are up by a touchdown Pat Dallas 24 Washington 21 at RFK Stadium 18 seconds left to play [Applause] twenty nine yards past the Sanders gave the rest get some glimmer of hope but then the taunting penalty puts them all the way back to the twenty and that's where they'll have to kick off from I don't know and that and that took it way because even if they get the onside kick then there's still going to be at the thirty they still have 70 yards to go for a touchdown no timeouts in eighteen seconds I don't think Ricky Sanders could believe that that was a 15-yard penalty I don't know yeah I mean either Colt was down there and I don't know I mean that seems to be awfully extreme I think somewhere if a guy just reacts and there's no premeditation I don't think it should be a penalty I don't see how I can be toning if it's not premeditated I mean you have to let it go just see themselves the Redskins still have to go for the onside kick here here it is again the only thing is is that Isaac Holt number 30 we live in that area and Isaac Holt maybe by jumping up like that maybe that threw the penalty 18 seconds left low Miller will kick off from his own 20 [Applause] flag on the play two flags on the play [Applause] came up with about Dallas basketball and a penalty has to be an offside penalty against the Redskins slide in the kicking team run penalties to crowing first down first down Dallas if they could just sit on it down the 11 game winning streak is over [Applause] okay I think of all the games that I've watched that we've done together I think that Jimmie Johnson has done more with less than any game that I could remember in a big game I think this is one of the best coaching jobs that I have ever seen when he came in here he was an underdog in RFK they were undefeated that's a pretty fine trip Alice had the ball 38 minutes and 51 seconds if you're looking for secrets and reasons the coaching the dominance of the clock whatever they did a heck of a job Michael Irvin what a day yes Troy Aikman and Kelly was injured per line coming in and of course Emmett Smith once you get that kind of running you can have a big day and you've got to give credit to the offensive line they control the game the offensive line the cowboy it's a final at RFK the Cowboys 24 the Redskins 21 markable show Troy Aikman with a sprained right knee once again the final score from RFK Stadium is Dallas 24 Washington 21 stay tuned for the NFL today postgame show Greg and Terry will have all the scores highlights and latest information you're watching CBS Sports coverage of the national
