number 23 cowboy rookie from Mississippi State he was one of the Cowboys to top draft choices you recall they have no better than the number three pick this year he was one of number two number three picks the other words a linebacker bill roll underway at Texas Stadium Jones at the 10 of the about the 23 yard line Dallas will put it in play from there we'll send it for you offensively Ron strange back in the starting lineup have an ankle problem missing most of last week's game or a receiver second than done in Dallas fans estimation and the veteran offensive line one of the best in the league and of course the Cowboys quarterback by Danny white is currently second in the NFC boys on target Frankie's hit in 66 percent of his passes he's also thrown for nine touchdown so he's the heart of that offense right now at 66% he would set a new Dallas single-season percentage record dorset hitting the left side across the 25 after the 27 pick up of four will set the 49ers defensively boy they play the standard front four they've had some problems in that defensive line their top lineman going bored out for the year with a knee injury they think of Lawrence killers on waivers from the Jetson Johnson in motion for the Cowboys daddy white doctor throat looking toward Johnson at the 45 yard line big stretch by Johnson but he couldn't get to it'll be third and seventh line to the left side that's Drew Pearson Tony Hill is split to the right right back in the five yard line [Applause] subscribe for James LD the pie dead [Applause] [Applause] that's the fear of that shotgun [Applause] the ball in that ball was low on the ground Danny has got excellent speed though he's got good maneuverability he can get around the corner he's got four seven speed he looks downfield Jase Aldi still well covered he's down with Jimmy he's got two people down there on top of him and he still makes the catch offensively Dwight Hicks and Scott Perry we're back there couldn't prevent the catch and the Cowboys have a first down at the San Francisco 30-yard line Tony Hill wide to the left side [Applause] like to the right [Music] dragged down by number 74 Jimmy Webb the defensive end to the 49ers play of five yards watch Webb on this play he's he's number 74 he comes in the he just breaks the missed assignment there but Webb charges across the line of scrimmage in Springs there's nowhere to go great play by Jimmy Webb second down fifteen loss of five of the play Cowboys are back at the 35 yard line game is less than three minutes old and Dallas driving Pearson to the right side Tony Dorsett rod Springs their setbacks good protection all day very close white Hicks was a safety man and he gets over there to help on the corner back with railroads but the balls thrown very well Danny steps up strong he fires it out there but it still could have been it could have been picked off there you see Hicks number 22 actually comes in front of Rhodes who he anticipated well he just got over there late and then Tony Hill did what all great receivers do he concentrated kept both feet inbounds before he before he left the plane it is a first down the ball just inside the 20 not much there he squeezes forward at the 17-yard line for a pickup of two again it was Webb 7410 Vinson the defensive tackle number 75 making the snap for the 49ers with a Francisco tied for first place in the NFC East with the Rams and with Atlanta well they're in a second date here this is a run situation they could run a play-action or pass but when they're inside the twenty Dallas has a tendency to run more on on the second date situation even though its second down and it could be a path they like to run inside the $20 [Applause] [Music] looks it out and that is 6% [Applause] he saw the quarterback what the play was hard he's gone Melvin Morgan number 46 Tony Hill and he [Music] between Melvin Morgan and the safety who was over there Ricky Church because over there a little bit late had to be perfect to be there and that's got to be a welcome touchdown for Drew Pearson who is indicated in the past week that he'd like to see the football a little bit more Raphael set the end on to try the extra point [Music] [Applause] [Music] so with 11 minutes and 37 seconds left to play in the opening dirt bank labor with Roger Staubach strikes the stadium as you look at the book on that daddles touch to drive the big chunk of it the 43 our catch by J solid a the longest of this cowboy career kickoff coming down to change Owens at the 10-yard line across the 20 and the former UCLA burglar makes it to the 23 yard line oh and we saw in the first game against New Orleans we shake it up and Dwight Clark has taken his place at that split end position here's the San Francisco back feel those two great young receivers Dwight Clark Freddie Salomon if they have the most experience [Music] 2:23 divert comes out fired a cat he's got a receiver he didn't waste any time at all hitting Dwight Clark for the first town at the 35 yard line Dallas defensive line they played that standard for three Larry Cole is the old man there cowboy linebackers again the veteran crew headed by DD Lewis who's been around a long time and the cowboy secondary Wilson and Mitchell first and second years respectively at the cornerback position so you figure that's where the 49ers are going to be looking Clark wide to the left side [Applause] bunny Solomon has flipped to the right for the 36 to get outside and picks up good yardage as he reaches the 42 yard line Randy white making the stop we had that first Newall in San Francisco game and that we were impressed with Cooper that day Roger Cooper runs well he's he's a strong runner he reminds me a little bit of Franco Harris he's got his feet close to the ground and he just keeps turning I think he's maybe has a little bit more speed than Franco so besides being the fine receiver with 31 catches he's also an excellent runner he's number 12 in the NFC and Russian and second down called poor 49ers at they're 42 yard line [Applause] now the youngest without widely they hit Yarmouth at play but Charlie waters number 41 the Cowboys is up there dogging him that'll set up a third down for needed for the first down the reason they split Charlie young out that time they were trying to get Charlie waters man-to-man on the tight end throw the quick out there that time Charlie had help deep from Dennis Thurman coming over there so he the defense was correct for that play and it just happened that San Francisco is thrown into a very difficult situation boys go on to a prevent with an extra defensive back in there now why all over the place is the fascist completed Jews for what would normally be a first down but there may have been movement on the part of the San Francisco offensive line although the Berg's got to feel a lot better without having to wear that four five pound contraption on his back for the last four games this is his first game that he can speak live I heard them for weeks so he's he's happy about it you were ready to go down there and ordered two hamburgers and the fries and a mall for missing it so this sounds like one of those driving hamburgers stand back he had some technical difficulties in a couple of those games also the Benny Barnes was in there I mentioned that Frank he's his first game he had the appendicitis before the Washington open season game was operated on so he's back in action for the first time in six weeks get the call here from the referee Pat Haggerty well start popping five yards against the in an Francisco 49ers that'll move it back to the 36 yard line third now called it nine for the first down to the left side Solomon to the right [Applause] and the third is a blitz against the pass away it completes it for the first down Dwight Clark that past reception second-year man from Clemson watch the monitor here now the birds back he's got both linebackers come there's anthing Dickerson number 51 and he just laid it out it was Aaron Mitchell with the linebackers coming he's got to play a little bit loose he doesn't want to get beat deep here he has no help in the middle so he was playing off and it was a great play against the the bliss preferred to read it well and and picked out the open receiver and forty-niners are on the move on the first out at their 48 their coach Bill Walsh said he expected them the Perl 45 since today [Applause] at the 45 and had another five or ten yards of sailing ahead of him had he been able to hang on to the football there's bill Walsh the head coach of the 49ers and a man much respected throughout the National Football League he has done a job with this team look at this score is that an upset to the making if it holds up that's unusual right there and we'll pass along other scores throughout the course of the day that's a big one Buffalo keep in mind the only unbeaten team left in the National Football League our score Dallas seven San Francisco nothing 49ers second and ten they're 48 remaining in the opening period emotion Detroit [Applause] [Music] [Applause] waters timing it just perfectly and stepping in part of the receiver waters he's looking all the way he's anticipating this road to Berg's back he gets a little pressure and charlief right there he threw the ball right Bofur the intended receiver time out of the field will be back after the Dallas Cowboys with the football first and ten at the San Francisco 37 yard line after the interception by Charlie waters as the Cowboys tried to capitalize on the turnover [Music] [Applause] at least two touchdown pass to the last four games [Music] she's way across the 35 and down to the 33 we're gonna have a lot of fun in this football game figuring Thomas Henderson would be back in town but it didn't quite work out that way Roger now he's in Houston I am for the Houston Oilers right now haven't heard much Bellamy there he's been on the specialty teams down there the you know Charlie waters has made three big plays this year and that was the third and he's got three interceptions Oh set up excellent field position here for now second down six San Francisco [Applause] you were right when you said they were working on the running game this week they they have really worked hard on it the cowboy offensive line is a little bit disappointed over the running last week that was up the middle and there was excellent blocking that offensive line is really experienced now they're an excellent offensive line Jim Myers does a great job with them and they have a lot of pride in the running game especially they've done a good job pass blocking also from the 49er 15 right on the delay because said he gets a yard to the 14 these two clubs met last year as you very well recall and the 49ers gave you everything he can handle out there Roger 49ers had us in the second half took a safety there near the end by Harvey Martin would give you eight points very close it went right down to the the wire the 49ers offense this this year is is number one their defense is overall number 12 but that's the area they they're trying to beef up right now the 49ers now they've got the worst pasty faceted second a nice last things wrapped up in the arms of defensive end Lawrence pillars number 65 after a pickup of the yarder so to the 13 yard line pillars came down the line of scrimmage and read that play all the way he was a few weeks back he was playing with the Jets against the 49ers the next week he was playing with the 49ers there would never know he's gone from coast to coast this year third down still eight needed for the first down Dallas from the 13 make at the 14 yard line at San Francisco the play actually have that they'd like to [Music] it looks to be over the meadow [Applause] by ricky church for number 33 the bet is a touchdown [Music] [Applause] Danny is back and he's looking downfield now he's uh he's got Billy Joe just turns out and he's about a foot short riki church and makes a nice play and stopping the touchdown but Billy Jill had an option to turn in or out on that play and he turned out and [Music] the yard in front of Ricky churchmen made a great play set up the first down for the record that was play-action was it not well there wasn't really a fake of a run that very much but it was flat half right not a movement prior to the snap as Ron Springs takes the handoff and goes into the end zone I see how the penalty was again if it's against the 49ers obviously it'll be fine it'll be a touchdown [Applause] all carriers you'll ever find he comes into the ballgame today with a 2:56 carries in a roll without a tumble he knows how to hang out of the football cept Eon with the extra point try 5 minutes 48 seconds left to play in the opening period Cowboys scoring on their first two possessions [Applause] [Music] Cowboys red straw here in the first period the San Francisco 49ers are feral [Music] no one's watching this one sale inside the 5-yard line so battles will have to do it over five yards deeper this telecast is presented by authority both in and out now then between the two of them they've got 20 catches so they're Dallas are using two tight ends when they're off and that was solely to test that customer both library Caesars off to the left side again we get movement before the ball is snapped and the 49ers looked to be having a little bit of a problem getting things organized here it's pretty much a veteran offensive line so you wouldn't think they'd have that much movement so the call goes against San Francisco's Keith hot horse the offensive tackle that's five yards and moves it back to the 15 [Applause] it'll be first now 15 from that point Steve de Burgh of course former cowboy rookie as a originally a number-10 Bradshaw [Music] [Applause] [Music] penalty marker down as the pastor slapped out - Carl [Applause] Cowboys about a ton of black passes this year Jones is the responsible for that one they got a holding call coming up against San Francisco we only got a disruptive team when you get off to a shaky start like this offensively well it does been on defense also San Francisco had Dallas back in a hole and they made a couple big plays and the game get turned around very quickly in that first series now in San Francisco's offenses number 67 Ron singleton the other tackle and with the holding call at most the 49ers [Music] the distance to the goal to the eight yard line [Music] [Applause] 22 [Music] runner as well as an excellent receiver as he carries it out to the 15-yard line for a pickup of seven on the play for he fights for every yard here in this replay here he really is moving keep our horses out in front of him but he still fight and he's he's making a lot of a non zone he cuts inside of DD Lewis and Ed Jones is over there but he still keeps by D D here the second shot it finally brings him down number 50 second down now sixteen dating for the first time [Applause] [Music] Francisco 14 years [Music] [Applause] like Hickman had a shot at him couldn't get him and finally it was Wilson watch Hagman here number 58 he's got the white Clark he's got him man-to-man all the way across the field they bring him in in a tight situation and he makes a great play right here he keeps going downfield Jukes a couple people and he gets some extra yardage Clark's got an interesting girlfriend I asked him about a good-looking guy like that having such a homely girlfriend in this universe yes Miss Universe is my girlfriend and and I hope I can hang onto her there for a little while you know but I don't know about the good-looking pair they're both Clemson people that's why offer on the carry out to the 45 46 yard line it'll be second down five at Hofer leader on that offense he's caught 41 passes he's a leading rusher and he's just a fantastic all-around football second and tie 49ers at their 47 the venison [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Cowboys here in the opening period like Metis thurman of a 32-ounce in there coming inside right here's kind of a delay draw he's coming inside in DD Lewis number 50 pulls it out of his hand and Dennis Thurman number 32 jumps on top of the ball cowboy is playing very opportunistic football here in the first period they get the football with excellent field position again at their own 49-yard line Danny White's hit four out of five for about 88 yards he's completed his last four in a row [Applause] we start running the ball cigar sat in the back feel that is my strength at the line of scrimmage getting across the 50 and that's about it second and eight as Scott Hill from the middle linebacker number 55 picks him up there were some fierce hitting that time Scott Hilton is back in the lineup number 55 he's been out a few weeks and he plugs up that middle pretty well now Springs comes out limp and now he's had a bad ankle and his missed considerable action here light a little bit last week didn't play at all the week before and it looks like the same thing as troubling him again he was not a hundred percent coming into this game I'd say this is the Quisenberry that tug mcgraw football here Robert new house is done nice relief running back forty fourth in there right now replacement on Springs you got a new house to back you up you're in pretty good shape so Springs is led off the field Cowboys will have a second and eight from the 49 yard line of the San Francisco 49ers Drew Pearson wide to the right side Tony Hill [Applause] his flood to the left he wife looked it over the defensive alignment Dorset 33 in the tailback shot screen set up the door service of 50 45 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] that was the next one set up that time you got number 52 watch Bobby Leopold number 52 is kind of a delay blitz Oh a screen is excellent against the Blessed as long as you get it off and he had his linemen out in front of him Tony Dorsett has Fitzgerald downfield and he's got Herbert Scott and Rafferty and they do a pretty good job they could have got more with a little better blocking but they still got the first down and now a good field position who's he talking to the my merrily up in the press box to the ball just inside the 40 Dorsett all was there for a moment then he closed as he darted to the outside reached the 37 pickup of two on that play [Applause] the other than that run by Springs that inside of that francisco has been stopping first down they've been in second seven second eight and they've done a good job other than the one springs run up the middle there are six figures thus far aren't that impressive particularly that three point six [Applause] for Kari [Music] [Applause] [Music] beyond the 50-yard line on a super rush by Jim Stuckey 479 the rookie defensive end who was injured and wasn't even supposed to play in this game they stuck he did a good job Franken also Archie Reese number 78 was in there he gave the initial blur that Danny white that caused Danny to to start worryin and then Stuckey came in and finished off the sack Stuckey of course is one of two number-one draft picks at the 49ers had the other being Earl Cooper as they traded the second pick in the draft of the New York Jets for those two choices has worked out very well there's a tight end Charlie young former RAM and Philadelphia Eagle [Music] 8:24 the first out [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] 46 yard line [Applause] maybe borderline as far as acceptance rate is concerned well butch Johnson has done an excellent job he's had 11 receptions this year he's the third wide receiver when he comes in on situations and on third down he also comes in on the the shotgun formations he went all the way across the field that time and they were just basically trying to get in better field position because Danny had about 22 yards to go they didn't go for the first down hopefully hopefully butch I'm sure tried to run for it but it was just a yeah he wanted to do the for the farside haunted corner still bouncing the cowboy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] each other to death trying to get to the ball no complaints there that was a that was a good call by officials there that ball was back in the end it was touched in the end to them so the 49ers will get it at the 20-yard line topher has a bruised knee that's the word we get from the San Francisco sideline may or may not return [Music] Springs as a problem with the ankle again [Music] [Applause] of an emotion [Applause] [Music] tried to find the handle doing a little bit of a juggling act there Eliot the one time Cincinnati bangle though the philosophy on first down the burgh sets up he looks downfield if he's got the wide receivers open he'll take him but he's got those outlets with the running backs coming underneath the linebackers if you come off your wide receivers too quick look to the running backs of course the linebackers can react quick and that time he came back that running back a little bit quick and there were people over there too to make the play if you would have caught the ball 34 seconds left to play in the opening period second and 10 San Francisco from its 20-yard line [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the third cowboy turnover the first period Steve de Burgh number 17 really never got hit the handle on the ball from the from the center and DD Lewis got in there before Steve could recover and recover the fumble it's been a rough day so far for San Francisco if here the cowboy quarterback you gotta love what your defense is doing give me a field position about this excellent field position through the san francisco defense you're not too happy with the offense I'm sure you hairs DeBerg going to the sidelines we said he was a number 10 draft pick of the Cowboys went down to the final cut Tom Landry is selected Glen Toronto [Music] Toronto is now Danny White's back out first and ten from the plow Cowboys leading 14 to nothing $20.00 set inside the 10 down to about the 8 yard line yeah the 49ers throw it so much what happened to the old adage about you you establish your running game first they don't pay any attention to that issue no they don't but the they use their running backs oh well Oprah Scott 41 passes and Cooper's got 31 so it's almost as good as a run a they hit those running backs they go for the percentage passes and complements the running game water has ended dynamites best to your full service mandatory they'll have a second we've got four wide receivers in there and landry still likes to run the football he second six down here and [Music] drinks is stacked up behind the line of scrimmage at the 9 yard line early did run the football here the four wide receivers he had Butch Johnson in motion the same play they threw before on the down and in so it looked like a past situation but they had Johnson leading to that side along with Pat Donovan the left tackle and didn't really get very much but it was a it was a good shot during third and seven now it's pretty much of a pass situation so very intent Dan buns the 49er linebacker looking on back now at the 9 yard line third down they have to get to the one-yard line to pick up the first down so it's third and eight [Music] today the others being dog down the field by Willie Harper number 59 for Dylan excellent job that play was the Tony Hill Tony was running it down and in and Melvin Morgan came up and knocked Tony off his route and Danny then Danny white then went to the running back who was Ron Springs and Willie Harper was right on him made an excellent defensive play if he would have caught the ball still would have been a field goal situation that's does not want to hear grow up is it a little bit older than that from the 3 to 14 it's a future Cowboy Cheerleader here's SAP Deon real goal attempt 26 yards waters to hold chip-chop for him and it is good roughing out at the end it's five out of six on the year for Sep the end and that's good a minute except en ready to kick off for the Dallas Cowboys backseat James owns this one hooking toward Owen side he feels it at the one-yard line after the 10:15 just short of the 25 we'll roll the cowboy rookie linebacker and their top draft choice number three selection making the stop 49ers first and ten from their 25-yard line and they're down 17 Parliament to the left Boyd's is now entered a wide receiver for the 49ers he's wide [Applause] the delay they go Cooper who gets it up to the 29 that's kind of a 49er courtesy run every once in a while they filled in their mix it in with the passes you know what surprise you know Frank Topher is number eight rushing in late Cooper's number 12 so they do it's not like San Diego I don't think San Diego's got a rusher in the in the top 15 or 20 but San Francisco not only has the fine running backs to catch the ball but those two guys run with the football going right now of course they're missing Hofer and it's a big loss with a free wide receiver they've de Burgh on second interception water stepping in front of Salomon again timing just about perfectly say what he's doing all he's doing is looking at the eyes of the quarterback and Steven Berg is looking right out there at his receiver look at him he's looking down good he has pressure from Randy white but he's looking at Solomon all the way and waters is back in his own just reacting off the quarterbacks look and his he's gonna have to be looking a little bit to the other side when he comes back in those turn in the last interception he is trying to drilled into Hofer and waters again reacted and that's time he's born a pretty Solomon de Burgh is how three out of eight for 51 yards how fast you think they'd committed Montana I don't know I mean he Steve de Burgh is an excellent quarterback and I'm not going to second-guess the coach on that but last week they came in fairly James Owens the intended receiver jarred by Steve Wilson and the ball popping Lewis one two three kick for San Francisco Wilson was in and again that rotating zone where the cornerback comes up he's got safety help so he can take a chance on those short short routes to the back or the short routes to the wide receiver so he was up in good position knowing he had help and he could gamble on those quick short pass that was a good time to gamble with it because they they were going for the first day Jim Miller beautiful kick driving James Jones back inside his Cuddy Hilton at the 16 up to the 20 25 30 33 yard line station return Jim Miller the number one hunter in college football last year and craft choice for the 49ers and we have to get some people they lost Wayne Ward their best defensive man they can't he's gonna make this team a winner first content from their 30-yard line the yard pot by Miller new house over the left side crashes after the 39 yard line pickup of six yards in the play it will be second down four Danny why checking it out what he's checking out the Jews can't be misleading the time score right there I'd say this is a a wacky world of football it really is you going to tell me that Cincinnati is going to be Pittsburgh by sin one year [Music] second down [Music] [Applause] at the 44-yard line scott hilton number 55 the middle linebacker makes the stop scott has been injured last 3-4 games and I'm sure the 49ers happy to have him in there he's an interesting story because he didn't play college football he came a carpenter out of high school and played some minor league football got a tryout from the Eagles and was let go and the 49ers picked him up and he has won that starting middle linebacker job measurement fire it's not that percentage for less than a half of football one touchdown fast that's the group here's how the first drive [Music] for another first down at the 24 perfect play-action pass he had the i-formation the two backs behind each other he fakes here and holds the linebackers course he's got a blitz coming also so it's even better he drills it out to Tony Hill all the way the play-action fake is to hold the linebackers but they they blitzed and of course you have a great play on a blitz there's nobody in the middle so that cornerback that defensive back has got to worry about the middle so anything to the sidelines a great play and they just had the right play against the right people know the football spotted just inside the 25 listen to White Collar signal [Music] you're set up the middle doubt about the 22 yard line the Dallas has seen something on film they're going after the middle that San Francisco 49 or defensive line but they're not getting very much Jay Sal they wanted the messenger tight ends but they Joe calls it the Federal Express is the way he refers to the messenger system the Dallas Cowboys above two on the play Cowboys have alternated guards wide receivers and now tight ends about how about quarterbacks I remember that quarterbacks one year in one game [Music] here they come they're all coming and he scores his second touchdown of the afternoon [Applause] I went into the game and not very many faster a little bit unhappy but today the Blitz they got the perfect play on because again the middle of the field is vulnerable Milovan morgan has to worry about it too he left let's the outside open drew makes the fake the middle goes back to the corner and makes a nice play and morgen almost recovered but it wasn't close Charlie waters will hold and septa on with the extra point tribe with minutes in seven seconds remaining of the first half of play that's good [Applause] looking comfortable for the Dallas Cowboys Robert Newhouse requiring a little equipment repairing the cowboy sidelines [Music] three yard line out to the day 20 he does fly up the myth dropped into 31 yard line all over today [Music] we have people all over the place prior to the snap of the ball penalty markers falling everywhere and deburred wondering what in the world is going on well that Jones open that left side has a head start right there and he just keeps barreling in on Steve de Burgh DeeDee Lewis is also there either he was drawn offsides or he went off on his own the referees say he went off on his own five yards being marked off against the Cowboys for offside we'll move it out to the 37 yard line I'm scary to have had Jones coming on your back boy offside defense does that hurt try to explain to eddies he's coming in your offside add your offside it doesn't count first down and fives Tony Dorsett cowboy back [Music] superhit eggs like hot cider each midfield push back just shy the 50-yard line officials will market on the 48 that'll be enough for a San Francisco first down this is good play by Steve de Berg Dede Lewis shifted out from his linebacker position on top of Clark and he didn't Clark made a good move the line of scrimmage indeed he didn't touch him which that's what he's supposed to do and he got inside and there was nobody there and de Burke hit him nicely he had the option between Dwight Clark and the running back and he picked out the right guy Harvey Martin checks out of the cowboy lineup and Bruce Thornton is in Martin has missed the last two games five rooms forty [Music] good right there the penalty call here there was a flag thrown at the line of scrimmage Randy White was offsides that time it's a first at number 54 zero Francisco scores stea Clark Park ran right good position initially de Burgh threw an excellent pass he led him deep and Clark showed some speed and he got behind Thurmond 32 and inside of Aaron Mitchell number 34 and it was a huge need that they prevent possibly being completely blown out here 53 yard touchdown pass and the extra point try is good makes it a 24 in a seventh game now boys have given up just two touchdown passes on the year they gave one up against Tampa Bay - Jimmy Giles that is the second one so the cowboy defense mass defense despite the inexperience the injuries and the secondary have done very well James Jones is the deep man the rookie from Mississippi State from the five after the 22-yard lodges for 114 yards [Music] [Applause] [Music] to the 37 yard line to pick up of 15 yards on a Dallas first down here's the reverse this time it's a fake the handoff right here on tackle handoff Antonio watch number 68 her first guy look at him out in front of the play right here and he's the man that makes the defensive back bury and he lands right on top of him gets Tony Hill another three or four yards number 67 Pat Donovan is is at with his big body trying to knock the people down so it was set up well and there's good good blocking by the offensive line persons and Cowboys at their 38 yard line [Music] the bloody woman gets out to the 43 did you use to do nice things for your offensive line like take them out to dinner things of that sort I used to be extra nice to them and provided them opportunities to dine out on me we couldn't get everybody together at the same time but the offensive line is pretty darn important to everybody and Dallas's offensive line is now maturing into a really top-notch [Music] the 43 your set after the 46 yard line he's a couple shy the first down the ball was rustle loose but after the whistle had blown turn to number 58 rookie linebacker from the 49ers made to stop 49ers drafted for linebackers this year and kept three Bobbie Leopold wound up the starter it's one of the reasons if Thomas Henderson is now in Houston third down Dallas needs to for the first half Cowboys at their own 45 leading 20 47 midway in the second period [Music] [Applause] [Music] at the reception this one arrived Springs for the first down at the 49 yard line [Music] Charlie waters will contact there with Gene Stallings the defensive backfield coach Danny takes what he could get he knows his third free he wants to go for the first down he's looking downfield just briefly then he throws out to ron springs and scott hilton is on top of him but not in time to stop the first down it's now 9 out of 11 for Danny white in 148 yards and a first out for the Cowboys at their 48th [Music] into San Francisco territory to the 45-yard line stop by Dwight Hicks number 22 who came up from the secondary you've had an opportunity now to watch Dwight for several football games how would you compare Danny to yourself different that's that's difficult we have somewhat different styles Danny white was a great quarterback at Arizona State he was an excellent he was a big play type quarterback he spent two years in a world football league and four years here so he's mature he's got winners instincts about him here we've got the Drew Pearson gets the whole thing call so he's got a he's got a previous history of success he's he's got winners instincts the players believe in him and he's produced this year above and beyond anything that he could expect of a young guy and he's probably right now playing as well as any quarterback from national that is a very big point there he has winters instincts there is something is there by the way fifteen [Music] Johnson is the manager of all the places bring cider eh the 50-yard line they're short of that mark the one things interesting about Danny he is his father was a great football player at Arizona State and they called him Whizzer white but it's not the Supreme Court justice he also played professional football and we nicknamed Danny The Wiz also he's he's Wiz or white but it's not he's not the son of the Supreme Court justice a great athlete in his own right from Arizona State cowboy rookie linebacker [Music] field [Music] [Applause] Hix up over there out of bounds at the 31 first down [Music] Tony's on a deep sideline route this is a mark of a quarterback to get it out to the sideline it's a difficult throw it's a long ways and he lays it in there Tony Hill makes a good move and he's got another first down [Music] of the 49er banshan staefel that Hofer will be back he has now what is diagnosed as a sprained knee and John Ayers the offensive lineman has a bruised eye also doubtful as to whether we'll see him San Francisco hit Street can't take the second one he stopped at the line of scrimmage had he been able to get away from pillars number 65 he could have gone a place this was a quick screen out there San Francisco had the right defund the defense on melvin morgan number 46 came up to the short area hit help deep so he was there he he forced to play immediately made it a difficult play and the linemen are looking back right now they missed morgan so they the play was broken and of course pillars cleaned up on it but it was stopped by Morgan's initial for us because of the defense in San Francisco was in it was a tough defense to throw a quick screen on loss of a half yard on the play we'll call it second and eleventh one of those statistics that's we're still in the first Gallade to Dorset and Tony is having his problems of getting loose 49 has dropped him at the 34 that's Archie Reese number 78 forty-niners have has done an excellent job against the run they're forced over all league-wide there forth against the rush but that's deceiving because teams have thrown so well in San Francisco their 14th against the past but today they've held Dallas even though Dallas has 24 points that hasn't been from running the football at wil Springs is 29 yards rushing and so does Dorsett both of them come out of the lineup on this play third down 13 they've got all their wide receivers in there [Music] [Applause] [Music] protection protection you gotta have some catch my butch Johnson ooh how to reach back for that one that pass was not exactly on the money but Johnson showed again what a fine receiver is and many people say he could be starting for most people in this league he's short of the first down about two yards it's got a feather in a stocky he says the Eli can you fly like a bird likes to fly like a bird and he's got that in there for good luck and he's been flying like a bird flu season [Music] chef Jian [Music] our field or waters to hold [Music] it is no good empty on missing off to the right and the distance I'm out of the field with 330 more left to play in the first half of the Cowboys liddie twenty four to seven Pittsburgh and LA he's got st. Louis that's the big game for both teams [Applause] [Music] [Applause] sighs the throat gets it away but at the feet of Earl Cooper the intended receiver Cooper the big fella number 49 and played his college football in the Southwest Conference at Rice last year was afraid he might be overlooked in the draft because of Rice's poor record dr. Cooper is a Texas boy from o-town called Lexington Texas Robert Newhouse contemplating on the sidelines second and ten the Berg is 5 out of 12 414 yards [Music] here's Dallas recovers the fumble [Applause] [Music] [Applause] was too tall jars I believe too tall got the football Harvey Harvey number 79 he comes right around the corner on Ron singleton and it's just a perfect pass rush he just his quickness of speak it got him around the corner on the play before he almost made a play but de Burgh stepped up in the pocket this time Harvey was there too quick and called the fumble and got the trap and Dallas has the football oh misery says Bill Walsh Bill Walsh does not lady to master their pass rush is gonna be tough the rest today Cowboys of the San Francisco 14 yard line that's maybe a yard or so to the 13 yard line notice on that fumble recovery too tall wanted to get up and run majid he got he gets up and gets a head of steam nobody's gonna get in his way dutton intercepted that passed last week so too tall was a little bit jealous jim Stuckey's in there their number one draft choice and again San Francisco's knockin Dallas back on the inside of that offensive line their defense is pushing them across and then bounce is giving nothing in the middle of the line 49ers defending to run very well officials mark that fall back at the line of scrimmage so it's second and ten 14 years live [Music] at the 10 at the 5 brings us down to the two yard line [Applause] that was a play-action pass Danny fakes Springs is out in the flat he fakes here to the halfback and they had a mix dismissed assignment right there Springs look like you went outside sitting underneath the Danny still picked him up out the flat NYX comes over throws the rolling block into it for white that is now 13 out of 15 but nobody's perfect Springs endorsed it had some confusion in the backfield that time but spring still went out in the flat and Danny hit him good shape first and goal from the 2 yard line we've got the two-minute warning I'll just run down to exactly two minutes left to play in the first half here at Texas Stadium lovely afternoon the spire for the Dallas Cowboys as they lead the San Francisco 49ers 24 December smack it on the door once again first down go to go from the two yard line with two minutes left to play in the first half too tall Jones [Music] extra padding Springs number código chef number 33 the back POV my daddy wife [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's his speed right there he [Music] with his quickness the speed once he got around Sahil boy he went into that corner like a rocket they did about Dorset has got the the sprinters freed watch watch Amir Scott Hilton chase be bound the plays broken right here it's herb Scott forces Tony deep by his block and there's Hill he gets around hill and he still has the the angle here but his feet got him into him the end zone and that's when it's nice had to get outside when you have that kind of speed that's the longest two yard touchdown run he'll ever make I'll tell you that [Music] extra point try bicep TN to make it thirty one to seven [Music] see five seconds left to play in the first sixty-five thousand Geoghan on every play on the play selection reads call the place during pre-season but you you were pretty we're aware of the fact one regular season started he'd be called up again but the and Reeves is really a brilliant offensive coach he he understands the game very well he's been Landry trained and Dan has has got a lot of authority on the Cowboys now he did call and preseason they discuss things and Dan the suggestions that have a greater impact but Landry still calls the play he's the head coaches on these teams Dalton James Owens on the kickoff return breaks it out to the 25 up to the 30-yard line and we get a penalty marker Lag is thrown it'll be a clip against the 49ers touchdown for the 49ers from the verge of life life [Music] [Applause] [Music] almost picked off by Katie Lewis it tended for Cooper our Cooper has been held in check pretty well as far as the receiver is concerned this afternoon he has the dropped one earlier he was wide open but he has been controlled pretty well by the Dallas linebackers that time Bob Bruning was falling him across the field needy again was back in his own looking at the quarterback and he came up to help running and pretty well had Cooper sandwich that time forty-niners offense which has given up the football four times or big turnovers for the Cowboys most of them compared the points 31 to 7 second down [Applause] the burgh inside the five Randy white almost had him forced him to rush the throw over the head of the intended receiver Freddie Sullivan out of the 25-yard line at the near sideline Aaron Mitchell was over there protecting him was wide open over there he was just standing on the sidelines - Burke saw him but the pressure by Randy white throw you can see the problems - burg his hat and of course a lot of pressure by that cowboy front for most of the artis is on that Dwight Clark play normally he gets the high percentage because he goes so much to the backs but even the day less than 33 [Music] [Applause] first out here floats it out incentives for Linville Elliot at the 35-yard line through that before Elliot made his break wasn't happy with that the strategy changes a great deal Frank when you get behind like San Francisco has it's tough to pick and hit your backs the way you want to because you have a lot more press right now of defensive line Oh San Francisco throws a lot they still have to respect the run right now go to see Jim Miller pot from Jones at the 42 to the 50 40 inside the 35 yard line he's knocked down by his own man he's still running well someone told him they get his sermons at a Steve Wilson Hawk you down he did he got up and took off again they'll bring it back to where he went down originally which is at the 36 yard line [Music] Jones is something else watch this return again and watch her he gets hit originally by his own man looks like his own man knocked him down and then Dennis Thurman Dennis Thurman told him about it right here Steve Wilson knocks him down yeah and get off him all right see if we can get Dennis coming over to whisper in his ear but [Music] the 36-yard line [Music] [Applause] [Music] the hands of tony dorsett at the 30-yard line [Music] would say at this point that the Cowboys score again we could all take the rest of the afternoon off Melvin Melvin Morgan did a good job number 46 he was up in the short area and as he saw Dorsett coming to the sideline and hooking up he was inside real quick and I'm sure Dorsett saw him and took his took his eyes off the football second White's ending [Music] new person to the right a lot [Music] [Applause] wine has completed six in a row miss Lunt completed seven in a row and now he's pissed that passed which gives him a 13 out of 16 mark on the afternoon it'll be third down his Hill comes back to the huddle now he'll we'll talk to you in the huddle will he not Tony you'll have a few things to say by being open he'll tell you he's open every play I'll tell you makes a lot of big plays is he the most talkative guy you encounter in the huddle tony is a interesting guy he's he's very smart he's got a good feel for the offense and he doesn't like to talk and tell you what's going on he loves to get to get the football third and ten for the Cowboys at the San Francisco 36 [Music] all the time in the world Vicky to Tony Hill well total embarrassment for the thrill that was killer hey what happened on that the again the carry was in their number 32 comes in their special defense on third down they bring in an extra back and take out a linebacker and he went in with Dorsett and he'll just turned out on the sidelines Danny read it perfectly he looked at Dorsett and came late to Hill and maybe Tony didn't know he's coming to him because he was surprised and dropped the football Danny white punting for only the second time this afternoon his first punt travel 36 yards 1 minute 4 seconds left to play in the first [Music] the first whites of kicking it anyway and the 49ers boy [Applause] let's see what they decide to do here Danny Danny had long ways to go he was forcing ten but he was going to go for it he was in plus territory a minute to go through this heads-up play on his part he then goes to the side sees he can't make it the ball right here begin Frick and frack Cowboys pick it up looks like a good play whistle might have blown but he's not down I guess he's down as momentum they must have called he's got the football whether they're both fight for it no it's fine crazy plays in this first half blink scales wound up with the football officials said it was whistled dead in Dallas possession at the 17 yard line to the Cowboys I have a person set [Applause] looking for sex going for cars [Applause] [Music] to make the football Poly's real oh for sure that was crazy they'e dorset that was just a mouth and go it was off of a play-action pass Dorsett went out in the flat broke deep to the sideline and he was covered pretty well Bobby Leopold was down there and he still caught the ball step out of bounds getting back to white situation of course you can put the football anytime you behind the line of scrimmage doesn't make any difference how long you run around back there he's smart too Danny knows where he took a gamble didn't work it's still one internet bad white still watch [Applause] [Music] the 49ers but Drew Pearson made three touchdowns it's just a post route to the middle of the field Danny's looking downfield and drills it in he's got Melvin Morgan beat to the inside the balls on target and Pearson gets it strikes and throws of the stand Dave Pearson who has not seen the football that much this year but he is certainly making up for it this afternoon Pearson with three touchdown catches white now is 14 out of 20 six yards all appearance matches of God production [Music] bicep yeah is good [Music] to a 38 to 7 lead anyway they're on about the 35 so he decide to gamble to run the ball and if he gets trapped it's no big big loss he's at least down to the 40 then he sees he's not going to make it he decides to punt and the balls just dropped right there ready Solomon number 88 dropped the ball picked up by Dallas its whistled dead right there but now grabbing on to the football Osby number 84 and deck iron Solomon number 46 is insolvent [Music] his career-high at in one game he caught three Cowboys from Easton Lanson the tight end comes up with it for the 49ers returns it out to the 35 yard line turnovers really kill you not playing the way it should in the passing game and Dallas has taken advantage of the turnovers and that's that's made the difference turnovers by the 49 last one of course chalked up to the kicking team white Clark makes the reception for the first down but certainly pays for it as Charlie waters comes up with the big hit at the 46 yard line the water steve seems to be getting stronger every week they've won their first three of course lost their last two reggae music [Music] to put some parts of the rookie yard line [Applause] have turned over the football for the sixth time watch the burgers back and he's just throwing hoping to get into situation where you can throw a few in the instance so he's throwing downfield but the balls tip right here by Charlie waters and really cause the interception knocks it back champ Dickerson's right there Tony Dickerson catches the ball and 35 14 seconds to go so Dallas will probably run it out now six turnovers in one half you remember playing at a football game where you were 31 down at halftime no no that wouldn't be much fun going to rocker Ramon [Music] that's his longest Gator of the day I believe about going back to the 46 yard line but a rough year for door said whose longest run from scrimmage has been 20 that'll do it [Applause] James on music for the 49ers on the three the elected to go to the inside returned into the 33 which is a fine return like a look at the first half statistics pretty well dominated by the Cowboys I'd say well you go to the bottom of the San Francisco column with the turnovers five turnovers and Dallas I know took advantage of four of those a time of possession of course Dallas controlled the ball so that pretty well tells the story that in the passing game of Dallas Alice has got 206 yards passing and they've hit three touchdown passes to group here's the quarterback position pardon me and Don woods a newcomer who was signed just this week he's getting to me right what's former San Diego charger who is from Denton Texas just north of Dallas played his college football to North Texas State and as a former thousand yard rusher with San Diego picked up this week bill Francis was placed on the injured list [Music] so woods is teeming with five de Burgh Fredi Solomon we get a flag me pass interference against Alice there's an example of what's gonna happen also Edie Jones didn't even go for the running fake he was in there like gangbusters and it's gonna be a test for the offensive line of San Francisco the passing game especially with the Dallas front line coming after them 38 to 7 they're not even gonna look for the run their shows will talk it over the referee Pat Haggerty and his crew illegal use of hands against Dallas will give the 49ers an automatic first down get the official call here probably against one of the cowboy defensive backs downfield as they tried to work on Solomon first down well we got everything about the number but I assume it was Steve Wilson because he was in the area look where Steve Olsen number 45 [Music] side the 35 to the 30 yard line that's a great play right there it's a good we got a holding penalty against San Francisco gonna nullified the birds back and it's just a draw right up the middle and again Dallas is coming after the quarterback and the linebackers are dropping back quick and Cooper got inside and broke it through the middle with his speed he got downfield but it's all for naught are you surprised perhaps that Bill Walsh didn't go to Montana here in the second half or you figured with teams 31 points down it's really kind of unfair to put another guy there well it's I'm sure Montana will be in there before the days over it's just a decision the head coach has I remember game Montana came hey no Charlie young the tight end they played in the Cotton Bowl here when he was with Notre Dame against Houston Houston has had 34 to 12 of course Montana was in the whole game but he turned that thing around and Notre Dame point 35 to 34 I gotta say it's one of the great collegiate football games I've ever seen I was on the sidelines and I've never been so cold in my life that was the year the great ice storm here in Dallas [Music] they're 38 to set up the screen Cooper but quite do it now Cooper got knocked off it was a good excellent play the line of scrimmage quickly the back slipped out behind the defensive line and he would have gone a long ways but someone tripped him up first half to burg six out of 17 for 126 yards a Green Bay gave us one back and forth it's now 14 to 14 I check the record book the last time the cowboy scored as many as 38 points and a half a play was against the Jets in 1971 here [Music] it's it's almost intercepted by guy Brown number 59 the pass intended for Cooper and de Burgh had a load back there he had all he can handle the Randy white is it was coming on that he was he's active in the middle of that line the whole time he's double-teamed a lot he's justhe's he's quick as far as it escapes going after the quarterback he's excellent against the run and no Dallas the offseason program Randy white probably is the strongest man on the team but Bob Ward's a assistant coach he's in completely in charge of Dallas conditioning from April all the way through the season these guys are in shape they're strong and of course Randy white is the kingpin as far as strength of the Dallas cow sixteen white can benchpress 450 pounds he goes back at the 28-yard [Applause] [Music] his ability to scramble because this rush you're gonna see the rest of this half and they're coming they're coming like crazy there's ed Jones Harvey's coming around the corner and Randy white is right up the middle so I said they'll probably share that sack right there Larry Cole number 63 is also in and he's being driven to the side there a little bit by Randy cross but Randy white made by Miller driving James Jones [Applause] Cowboys returns to talk to the 41 they just will not go down 13 minutes 26 seconds left to play [Music] Cowboys medieval 49ers 38 to 7 back after this 10 Dallas fall at their 41 yard line Roger Staubach has just a new record for a turkey sandwich consumed during one commercial 60 seconds [Music] records the Cowboys are sitting here this straight dive the 45-yard line - Ron Springs talking about cowboy records their record for points scored in a single half is 42 that was done in the first half against Philadelphia back in 69 at the Cotton Bowl along the 4914 young man we may see a little bit later on Joe Montana backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers [Music] to the right side through person really firing up the middle and out of the 30 well he he really burst up the middle right here there's a hole good blocking and internally and then Hilton has pushed aside their number fifty five endorse it breaks through the middle and into the secondary very quickly the key block was on Scott Hilton number 55 and I'm gonna have to give credit I believe that Tom Rafferty number 64 of it I couldn't see exactly but will give the rapper credit give her half credit battery have an interesting story about bring out [Music] [Applause] see 39 yard line and we excellent play by Melvin Morgan drew dipped inside Morgan was stalking him out over there and when proof broke outside Morgan was right there beholding though he's got to be up against Dallas it looked like there was holding on the reverse and it that may see there's member support Rafferty he is he is holding Bobby Leopold well he was great on the last play but Morgan is sneaking up there behind Leopold and makes a nice tack there's the walk-off by Pat Haggerty the referee and the call hold it number 64 he didn't say number 64 talking about Rafferty Rafferty's a training camp story about the SS way laughter this play they will bring it a very unusual story involving Tom property number 64 the cowboy guard [Music] [Applause] tony dorsett outlet to the left and he had J salty over the middle the linebacker came up watched Dorsett right here number 30 he three he's out here and here's Fitzgerald number 62 coming out in front of him white then looks at the tight end and if the linebacker comes up on Dorsett he goes to the tight end who was past Hilton but also Tony Dorsett really was the outlet and the reactions of the linebacker Danny read it perfectly and hit the man down Jace all the inmate another another nice catch he's now the leading tight end in receptions for the Dallas Cowboys Springs on the delay it's up to the 23 now Lampert he likes to munch a lot doesn't he in training camp now I was rooming with Bruning and Watters and Harrison a we used to be on the corner we would have a lot of food out yet always had these mixed peanuts out there and ran for you come by and always grab a big handful so one day we put some some dog food in there so you didn't he came by and had a couple handfuls of dog food he came back the room and I said he wasn't feeling good that's the way we're gonna get you to event did you just eat dog food [Music] much of a hole there San Francisco heading chin off you can see see what sources quick feed right here he gets away right he's shut off completely right here and probably would have a to your loss but that little move that is a lot of facts can do it but you can't not too many can accelerate off that move and he accelerated enough to get back the line of scrimmage and got a couple actually got actually the artitude vault is marked at the 19 yard line sets up a third and to Hill through Pearson both out of the lineup double tight in set up now for the Cowboys but Cosby and salty in there the emotion the give us garage Frankie on the first down near the 15-yard line [Applause] [Music] the report that Philadelphia really came back strong in the second half New York controlled that first half and Philadelphia came back in the second half and won going away Ron Springs Frank I believe just Hebrews to me it wasn't that bad ankle we thought in the first half see Ron is back in there running hard again first out for Dallas at the 15-yard line the cowboy scored 38 points and a half against the Jets they wound up winning that game 52 to 10 nine years ago inside the 15 - about the 13 yard line I guess you had to be the happiest man on the Dallas Cowboys when you heard the Cowboys that drafted Tony Dorsett it was really the kind of missing ingredient up today Tony is really given why I'm a big fan of his he does so much he got 45 passes last year he's getting into the passing game a lot more which he can do get the ball to him and let him run with it he's got each season and he has really been a the main ingredient miss Dallas office this year he's been slow a little bit getting started in the running game he's been off and on but he's still catch second down seven Cowboys from the 49er 13 darsana dish around the right side looking for one in Rome and this time he has stopped at the line of scrimmage where one will be no gain I guess he had the all time thrill for a football player and that would be to play on a number one ranked college football team and n-c-double-a champion his senior year and then go his rookie year into the pros and play a Super Bowl championship James now then even not many people gonna make that statement a lot of big things happened himmat in two years and he he handled it well he he was a highly sought after draft choice he they paid him a lot of money but he came on the team and he produced and the players appreciated that still seven for the Cowboys at the 49:13 White's going to put a knight in again what got the touchdown passes he's got four now [Music] working on the safety or they have the running back out Billy Joe was working on Ricky Church VIN number 33 and Danny looked at him all the way hit Ron Springs in the black churchmen is on Billy Joe who's a big target Harper tried to come over number 59 off of Springs but he was too late also but it's the same play that Jay salt he caught on the one-yard line earlier in the game this time to freak out for a touchdown with the extra point try seven minutes 28 seconds left to play in the third period Dallas 45 San Francisco seven [Music] all afternoon Cowboys scored on their first two possessions [Music] Paul weekend in this town of course better than 75-thousand yesterday for Texas Oklahoma and a capacity crowd of 65,000 on hand here at Texas Stadium this afternoon more touchdown passes in one game is a career high for Danny white of the Cowboys [Music] seven yards deep in the end zone will not bring it outside yet hardly blaming [Music] there's the book on that last Dallas touchdown drive as the Cowboys have moved the football at will Tom Landry coach Landry I there he's got his arms folded he was in that position a lot I remember one time the sidelines in the game similar to this and I tried to get a play from he was kind of looking up through the hole in the roof he came back down looked at me and gave me the play and I said I wonder where you got this place from didn't he didn't even crack a smile after all he's only got a 38 point lead [Music] get outside but the Cowboys fling it out far enough and he gets very very little they have anything no a brawler San Diego running back coach Landry I think he does have a direct line up there we used to take road trips he tell us what the word is gonna well I think it's gonna rain it's gay you get a weather report he's a better meteorologist and the weather people he tells how cold it wasn't gonna be well it was a terrain was it gonna be sunny but I'll tell you one time he was playing golf get a ball in a sand trap looked up in the air fold those arms and I'll be doggone grass started escape look if he knew what you were saying about it just kidding here second and ten to burg behind the intended receiver who is Freddy Sullivan let me ask you a serious question about Landon if he would have come to you this this year after last season ended and you said Roger you'll play one more year seriously I'll let you call the place would that have influenced your decision well Dallas would probably be 2 & 3 right now well I'm not saying that would you played know that that wasn't the decision the decision was based on other other factors that was I would have loved to call the plays he knew that we shared a lot of the players responsibilities as far as talking over what I wanted to do and what he wanted to do that wasn't the for the 49ers [Music] intentional grounding is what the call will be this time against Steve de Burgh that of course is a judgement call officials got a decision here but when if someone has an arm on a quarterback they're gonna blow that tight whistling right here Harvey Martin has an arm on him gets away and then the burg just fires into the ground there was no intention of a completion and the possibility of a trap led the referee to call that one it's a it's a referee's decision murderers call for the 49ers because it's also loss of down which means they're back in their tent having fun out of it now Miller great kick again James Jones waiting at his own 45 Jones escapes the first [Music] always seems to get something that time it's five yards or so as he returns it to midfield Jerry to Tomo making the stop for the San Francisco 49ers Cowboys cruising here in the third period 14527 will be back midfield [Music] spring stakes the handoff Garry's it out of the 46 for a pickup of four yards it says here last Cowboys quarterback to throw four touchdown passes in one game Roger Staubach against Baltimore and the 78 season opener Green Bay and Tampa Bay have gone to overtime now tied remember that Monday night game 38 to nothing against the coast I remember Buffalo losing its first game of the year look at look at this one right here this is incredible Cincinnati's beat Pittsburgh twice this season since I was coming off of a loss to Green Bay last way on second and six strings close to the first down at the 41 yard line but the Oilers are happy to see that score that'll help some people in that Central Division I'll tell you that was in Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh right they have in Cincinnati they had one like 20s 20 some straight in Pittsburgh we were there a couple of weeks ago remember Tom play Green Bay look like they're not Green Bay but Chicago and looked like the Steelers never lose a football game again they were doing to the to the Bears but the Cowboys are doing to the 49ers log yard needed for the first out here timeout catch a sneak preview of the white shadow as it returns to New York for an unforgettable reunion with his friends and father the highly acclaimed white shadow a special preview on a special night Thursday Cowboys with a third down and one from the 41 yard line of the San Francisco 49ers these fans aren't satisfied [Applause] oh they're cheering about shut the first out of the 38 what they've just blinked on the board is Cincinnati 17 Pittsburgh 16 they've got a final on the Dallas Board and that's what the fans were they still aren't crazy about Pittsburgh here in Dallas I don't know why why when do you figure that mr. Landry is gonna call off the dogs here I mean after all forty five to seven well he's I don't think he's going to be throwing the big play type things that they're gonna still try and move the football and probably sure emphasize the running game a lot more here in this series San Francisco his weight out of the 32 for a pickup of five or six yards just one 100-yard game thus far this season they keep the ball on the ground and he stays in there he could have his second this afternoon he's in the 75 yard area right now 440 for a Frank that time Charles Johnson's in the lineup now and made an excellent play Tony had him kind of one on one out in the open field and tried to straight arm him and Johnson fought him off and made a nice play second down Dallas nice for for the first down with the ball at the 32 yard line to the 49ers pops through to the 29-yard line this guy was really a surprise to rookie last year weren't you rather amazed at what they got out of him as a draft choice the state was had a great junior year his senior year is hurt Murphy most of the year so he was drafted late based on his potential and Dallas really got a coup Springs his future is very bright he's an excellent receiver he's a good blocker and his running ability he he substituted for Dorsett in two critical games last year against st. Louis and Washington and perform very well they're very high and he and Dorsett at the same backfield and with Newhouse that they've got 3x less than a yard yard line and Springs picks up that about five more as he takes it down to the 23 that guy we haven't seen much of this afternoon who came back into the lineup last week and very spectacular fashion against the Giants is Preston Pearson they've caught four passes last week Preston's been in there on some third down situations but he was really the key receiver in the victory over the Giants last week now they're first down for Dallas Danny white 16 out of 22 for 239 yards and four touchdowns no interceptions once [Music] the deep handoff but not much there's Tony Pisces way forward for a couple of yards near the 20-yard line Willie Harper number 59 making the stop and are set taking a bit of a breather since the second half of the Denver game Danny white has really been on target his percentages are very high as hitting 60 66 percent of his passes and today's statistics are or even better plus he's thrown the four touchdowns but he's really been on target since that second half that Denver game it's been it's been over four weeks now where he's just been in the middle of this game hitting everybody and all different receivers there's white calling a timeout as he brought him up to the line of scrimmage and saw something he didn't see what would you normally do that I have a play called and you go up the last 22 either someone's out of position pattered here at Texas Stadium the hole in the roof someone came up with a good answer the other day when they asked what the hole is forced to let the balloon where else would they go what that was [Music] 20 yard line [Music] strains all away for touchdown are moving to will right now the 40 draw they've got there wide receivers in all three up it looks like a passing situation and it is and of course they come back with a counter against the pass which is a draw play and spraying Springs loose and that's a pun and into the end zone Springs loose is upon huh he's had about two or three good runs today and both I think all three have been right up the middle [Music] what the extra point drives his store two minutes and eight seconds to play the third period likes of cowboys 52 7sc Glen Toronto in this game pretty soon Frank Lin is the line number two draft choice and young backup quarterback has been in Dallas for years warming up on the sidelines and he's going to see kickoff it's been the 49ers longest afternoon there's James Owens number 89 back there deep along with Farrell as 81 yards rushing at 18 carries Dorset 75 [Music] to the 20-yard line that's the end of the line [Music] cowboy record book shows that the most points they have ever scored in a single game was against the Lions back in 1968 in a season opening game there was Greg Landry's first game of his rookie year and Dallas beat the Lions at the Cotton Bowl fifty nine to thirteen railroads the 49er defensive back who was a receiver at Tulsa catching passes through Pearson who at that time was the fall supporter [Music] Mike Hague Minh was the first to get to him and cleaning up over there was Betty Barnes that was a screen all the way Cooper made one one good move there and it shows his counting the kind of ability that he does have he just hasn't got the ball very much this afternoon and he's been pretty well shut down believe that's that's his first catch of the day Clark has done most of the receiving he's caught 6 for 126 yards including the only 49er touchdown second down six from the 24 yard line [Music] Denis Thurmond lateral the ball set shot by Wilson and Wilson goes out of bounds at the 32 over number six well the balls thrown a little bit high that course tipped up in the air and once the ball is tipped up in the air that's that's where the interception start taking place and Thurman's right there he's always around the ball Dennis sermons an excellent Safety's around the ball here's a no-no right of course this would this would be real bad but again it's 52 to 7 so I guess they can do those kind of things but he tried the lateral and it was around Steve Wilson and I put the football here's the guy we are talking about Glen Toronto is now at a quarterback keep in mind that he has never thought about season game he puts it in here moment for him [Music] a running back spot he's the backup to Tony Dorsett he carries down to the 25-yard line so Jones are there for Dorsett Carano is valid at quarterbacking ladies college football at Nevada Las Vegas is a long afternoon well the big thing that they've got to realize in this professional football you don't have those turnovers you can come back neck it's a mental game right now and Bill Walsh has got a lot of character of this team old we'll get back on track they're gonna have some defensive problems this year they've lost Wayne board they're great defensive linemen they've got a few people hurt but though they'll play much better than they did today the turnovers again have killed on the hole their third-straight pullback new similar that's Jones carrying to the 23 yard line clock running down the final 15 seconds of the third quarter here at Texas Stadium 38 to 7 they have the football they're driving again with the third down and a long yard needed for the first down at the 49er 24 yard line the repair work on the sidelines [Music] very back thing new houses back in there go back the longer James Jones [Music] finally dragged out at the 20-yard line he's got quick feet James Jones a Cowboys really like him used the number three draft choice he also has done a great job running back punts and kickoffs which the Cowboys have not had in recent years and you can see why he can spin he can cut and he's he's they you know got fine agility they're usually mainly to run back punts and kicks and now he's in the game and he said he's a game breaker he had a great preseason for Dallas I'm curious as you look at Don woods on the sideline how you would define a lot of people it's merely speech but it's not that this is new house he fights his way down to the 13 yard what is quick feet quick feet is the ability with to move in a direction and to change very quickly a lot of runningback slumber I mean they just move and it's a power and drive where the smaller backs like Jones or dorset's a little bit bigger but they Walter Payton they can stop in their tracks and move their feet very quickly and accelerate from that movement some some players try to Juke and move around but they can't accelerate and of course it doesn't help him a great deal Jones is quick and he can't accelerate from the movement of his feet when he has to second down Dallas needs to for the first down 1413 [Music] new house but it sounded impressive whatever it was he races the ten it'll be very close for the first half it did sound very impressive I will say that but I used to go to class you know in college and sit there list of those professors a time or two you'd go through a whole lecture he said boy that sounded impressive but then you never took a single note that was what you call a long answer on quick beat instead of a quick answer and work that's true that's true that's another first down at the 10-yard line Lin swans mother made him take dancing lessons to develop his aerobatic and could get me to build that [Music] boys were try their all time point total new houses down to the seven yard line [Music] new house showing his quick feet of course the Cowboys have some changes in their offensive line also and see new house really getting you know hit hard right there he's he's got the ability to bounce back up when he's hit but of course that time the Craig houki really really clocked him out for Charles in their Center number 52 [Music] Voyager's way up the middle doubt of the three the use on little punishment will run to this was a young man from Mississippi State who had some knee problems coming out of college maybe the reason he was in a higher traffic but he's run very well for the Cowboys particularly on kick returns this year third down goal to go from the three yard line Dallas is keep it on the ground they're not trying to run up the score by any means there's over 11 minutes to go and you've you've got to carry out your plays they're keeping it on the ground and they're moving the ball on the ground of course much better than they did from second half in the first half they have fell in the second half that moved the ball very well in the [Music] [Applause] number 84 was coming down the line and kinda led [Applause] [Music] now the Cowboys are now an extra point away from tying [Music] point total record 59 scored originally against Detroit back in 1968 [Music] they're still 11 medicine 19 seconds left to play in this football game [Music] yet another San Francisco turnover 11 minutes remaining in the football game James oh it's at the goal line [Music] thirty Steve de Burgh remains in for the 49ers you may have wondered why they didn't go to Montana but when he get this far behind again it probably wouldn't be fair to Jill to put him into a situation like this to really show we do I think that's what the thinking is scored even at halftime was thirty eight to seven so evidently Bill Walsh has opted to keep seven 30 yards Cooper five [Music] Genesis recovered this is one you want to save those for another game right now they don't need those [Music] this is close right here this replay will show it's an inside handoff and I thought maybe hit the ground first when he fumbled someone dough on top of him but we'll see right here's where he gets hit and bam that's a bad call in the referees right there that should have been he should have been down right there Bruce Heather number 57 covered the fumble turnover number seven against the San Francisco 49ers they're second in this half and the Cowboys have a first down at their 45 [Music] which Johnson wide to the left side Tony Hill wide to the right he'll is caught for to the setback new house is after the 47 yard line I think I have detected a note that Landry Fields this one maybe in the bag is no longer talking to Dan Ricci the battery is matted raised well you know one thing about him he he wants he feels the game was under control he's thinking about next week and he doesn't have much time to celebrate he's always you would never know if you if you saw that scene who was winning or losing but he's probably thinking about next week now and the Philadelphia Eagles [Music] 47 yard line [Music] Burano is still to throw his first NFL regular season pass he's been keeping it on the ground Tammy Newsome number 30 Ricky fullback on the carry for another yard or so third down go [Music] Preston Pearson is in the camp situation here for they delayed Pearson Pearson righteous way to the 50-yard line that's going to be added the Cowboys are going to have the puck the only their third part of the football game they have to wait a little longer to throw his first NFL thing I don't think they also put the ball in the air with fifty nine to seven it's the principle the thing right now is to run that clock down and not not pour it on he wanted to do the money [Music] this week at the punic statistics second in the passing statistic but it was last controlled by San Francisco so the 49ers will retain possession 22 we'll be back I perceive de Burgh the San Francisco quarterback and Steve I'm sure has got to be wondering [Music] for Dwight Clark who taught the other touchdown interference right there international parents - flax go down Oh Mitchell will get the call at the 34 yard line of Dallas well the white Clarks had a good day under trying circumstances he's got sticks passes this could have been the seventh he'd won for the long touchdown but he's behind her and Mitchell this time he's got Mitchell beat Mitchell's trying to recover sticking his hands up there and also hits him before the ball gets there that's a good call by the officials I will give the 49ers a first down at the Dallas 34 this may be about their deepest penetration of the football game churchmen the former Texas star excellent talk [Music] try to get some points of the board for the party but they are tired of running over there and made the stop at the 28 yard line on the pass protection that good at play was actually very good the coverage downfield had Steve cause Steve to run the football but really he's got time you you want about 3 to 3.5 seconds and you could pretty well get most passes off and he's got some time right there and doesn't see anything they've also got Mike Eggman's out there in good shape taking away the flare pass so Steve decides to run and gets about 8 yards second now let's call it a 2 needed for the first down with the ball at the 26 sideline that's Freddie Solomon's first catch of the day run out of bounds at the 20-yard line of the far side by cornerback Steve Wilson seven turnovers for the 49ers four fumbles three interceptions it's a bit of an upset their course it's early in that game Oakland leading San Diego first at San Francisco at the 20 you have to believe that Bill Walt certainly is going to give strong consideration to starting Joe Montana next week he almost started Montana this week thought about it a long time he's made some statements here in the past week or so that Montana could be the quarterback of the 49ers future [Music] in motion diverse [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I'd like that Dwight Clark he had a great game last week cut a couple touchdown he's got two more this week and of course Steve de Berg is going to take a lot of the blame today and not rightly so the he had a chirps he had a few passes picked off but Dallas also is played excellent to offense the football they've hit the big plays they've beat the 49er defense and the quarterback sometimes gets the brunt of it so it's gonna be a situation I think between de Burgh and Montana that's gonna probably take place for a while the controversy and every team who's been through it Steve de Berg is not at fault for this he's contributed to it as the rest of the team ass [Music] great we're getting ready to kick off as the shadows lengthen here at Texas Stadium - Newsome at the 5-yard line we prophesy 28 [Music] getting back to de Burgh in Montana and of any controversy again you have that when you got to quarterback you're about the same age that's inevitable it makes it difficult the one has to be the starter and the other guy doesn't want to sit around so the burg and Montana will be going through this they're the best of friends and they have to work together so that's good they respect each other [Music] ideal situation of course as a veteran quarterback and that a youngster that you tried to break in Jones continues to run hard for the Cowboys out to the 35 yard line picked up seven or eight before Ted Benson number 75 made the tackle Rams now are boarded on st. Louis pretty ported on but they've got a comfortable age they're certainly in the fourth period st. Louis has played very well the last couple weeks that's been a tight game was fourteen to seven in the fourth for now the Rams of come across for another touchdown is 21 to 7 st. louis's still has a chance in the Eastern Conference the game today was three Cowboys at their 34 yard line see 30-second clock may have run out on the Cowboys which should be a five-yard delay of game situation not a slaughter the cowboy wives and alumni wives in attendance at this football game I know they have a lot of projects going to what they do the the wives have a cookbook it's their second annual they have pictures of the players and the coach the lay of the game and and their families it's an excellent cookbook it also benefits the happy Hill Farm a children's home near Dallas and Mary Bruning tending up that project but it was successful last year the next couple weeks are coming out with their second cookbook second and nine recipes in there yeah [Music] this would be his first NFL would have been his first NFL pass Corrado is scrambling and run out of bounds at the 35 yard line short of the first down that'll shut a third down and three are you looking at the fine athlete number 18 Glen Curran oh he's he's fulfilled the expectations of being a number two draft choice in the preseason games and in practice he has not had the chance to berth to playing a game and of course you have to any white who's got a long career ahead of him and it's a difficult situation for Glen he's an excellent the quarterback he's got a fine arm and a great backup quarterback situation and it's almost picked off so he finally got his first NFL pass away and there wasn't an interception is Terry to Tolo the linebacker was over there quickly do you remember when they got out of the final cuts between Carano and de Burgh what it was based on what did you think well Carano was a number two draft choice and de Burgh kind of came out of nowhere he impressed everybody with his arm and his abilities Carano I would say it came down to piranhas maneuver bill that he has a strong arm but he's got a lot of athlete instincts as far as scrambling and moving around but it was fairly close solomon fading back on this part feels it at the 20-yard line up to the 25-30 across the 35 and after the 38 yard line before he's contained by texture coupe scale number 47 6 minutes and 37 seconds to go but Texas Stadium with the Cowboys firmly in Quebec blank labor with Roger Staubach back in Texas Stadium once again with 6 minutes and 37 seconds for many 49ers at the football and the first at 10:00 at their 37 yard she de Burgh twenty-five of Alden Cooper Brown number 59 to the cowboy stands him up with a 39 yard line it's no fun to be a professional football player when you're losing like this it is just no fun at all final score Minnesota beat the Bears what some people might consider an upset as good as the Bears looked in that second half against the Monday night game second and eight san francisco from its 40-yard line [Music] berg is going to be after this game over the middle Kapoor literally catchable I thought on the 35 linville Elliott who has been filling in for Hofer yeah he threw a little bit behind he but he he's still cool he was right in the hole in the zone the Berg ladies in there pretty well it was just to the the wrong side and Linville tried to turn around got one hand on it but it still was an incompletion burden aid for those of you joined us late Paul Hofer went out with a knee injury early for San Francisco and that's hurt them quite a bit obviously over the leading fast receiver in the NFC [Music] Larry but they are Dallas was offside - bird tried to hit Solomon who couldn't keep his feet inbounds you with the penalty call will be [Music] they played the entire 15-minute overtime period down to Tampa Bay and no one scored so it goes into the books as a tie that's the first tie in the NFL I believe this year Tampa Bay and Green Bay Packers who come along a little bit well they beat Cincinnati last week and now tied down that was on Lera but they had number 76 we didn't hear the number but Cincinnati comes back and beats Pittsburgh 17 to 16 now that is what you call coming back I would say so [Music] and three last time twice in the same year popping through over the middle picks up the first down he pokes into Dallas territory that's the 45 and down of the 44 yard line Cincinnati has had a difficult time these past two seasons they have a new coach their forest Greg but they've beaten the world champions three of the last four times there's Paul Hofer back in civilian clothes you know at the rate he was catching passes coming into this game he would have caught a hundred and thirty passes on the year well you don't like to see that he's a heck of a guy [Music] you're gonna give that to Marilyn picks up his second set of parents go to Mitchell's unhappy about that but I'd say it you can't put your hand on the guy's helmet before the ball gets there and that's quite obviously what he did the 49ers will pick up another first down and keep this drive going another touchdown here and it sounds almost reasonable wait a minute now there evidently changed their mind [Applause] took the flag back could have been the case of one official saw it as pass interference and the other one maybe had a better view and decided there was no penalty their first one gave it he gave it to the ball evidently had gotten to the receiver and that was the judgment [Music] over the middle a marker thrown is holding it Mike Hickman stepped in front of the intended receiver that time was Easton ransom the tight end and knocked it away well when you're winning 59 to 14 the referee Stars skull starts calling holding on the other team you know it's a tough day I've got to really be Cardinals aren't dead yet 21 to 13 now in the final period holding number 77 poppies Jeanne Merritt guilty of the infraction 49ers have lost John Ayers today who went out in the first half with a lie or hip injuring her he has not been back in addition to Hofer [Music] second down 20 see the motion [Music] for Saladin intercepted Anthony Dickerson with his second intercept [Applause] he brought the few people that are left to their feet these get a lot of pressure right here and he's just throwing it into a group over there and hoping for the best and there's a couple of cowboys over there and sniff I penny Barnes Charlie waters is over there and his tipped Tony champ Dickerson from SMU now with the Dallas Cowboys he makes a fine run of it he's he's got a lot of speed the Cowboys bringing him in on third downs as a extra defensive linebacker and take out of another linebacker so they believe he's got the speed to cover defensive back for the party the middle keep in mind now galas should score again it would set a new all-time single game scoring record they've tied their record of 59 set back in 1968 against the Detroit Lions well what else can you say about this hope accept regroup what they may won't be any traffic problem getting out of Texas Stadium today a lot of the fans who decided to take the rest of the afternoon off figuring this one was in the bag for the Cowboys the players are left [Music] [Applause] [Music] Newsome Timmy Newsome showing good balance down to the 20-yard line short of the first down [Music] this can work against the team when you score 59 points and you're going in the next week to play the team that's tied with you in Division you've got to forget about this not only from the bright side of the game but also the bleak side san francisco's got to regroup but Dallas can't can't count on any anything like they've had today with all the turnovers [Music] yes the Eagles in Philadelphia [Music] down for [Music] inside the 20 to the 18 yard line gonna be looks like fourth down at about a yard needed for the first out I'd say those fake houses getting up low slowly those fans in San Francisco Roger I'm sure they've never going to forget you after 1972 and playoff game out there that was an exciting game unfair one of the most exciting football games ever there were a lot of people in the parking lot of that game also wish they weren't in the parking that's right [Applause] Cowboys ignore for [Applause] [Music] that's why a good defensive play [Music] James Jones going off left tackle and stacked up at the line of scrimmage of the 49ers of L the few positive notes that the 49ers can point to as they hold the Cowboys at the 18 yard large is in there Barnes of course is an interesting story to regular quarterback [Music] saved a bird sit-out intended for Solomon he can't quite catch up to it and Barnes was activated just this week by the Cowboys he underwent an emergency appendectomy the night before the regular season opener and in less than a month or just about a month he is back on the playing field again and one of his problems during the off-season he had a foot operation which was bothering him at training camp and he said actually the rest he got here waiting to come back from the appendectomy helped his book and he's feeling pretty good nevertheless Tom Landry has gotten some excellent work out of Aaron Mitchell and Steve Wilson who's starting quarterback so he's not the kind to make any change [Music] after the 27 yard line he's working Benny a strong safety right now Benny can go between strong safety and cornerback and down the stretch they're gonna need him they're gonna need his experience especially if he's not starting on third down Randy you should be back later on the season so that Dallas secondary should have some strength back to it see the clock running down to the two-minute warning that's where we are right now Barnes out there number 31 who we've been talking about with the Cowboys [Music] you can see the Cowboys are safe as they head into their showdown against the Eagles next week Linville Elliott taking that handoff on a third and short yardage suffering on both occasions and did very well his chipped I believe by fortune number 77 is the bird trying to get it away L Stephen putting back on top [Music] the bird hitting Cooper and Cooper runs out of bounds at the 37 yard line pursued over there by Steve Wilson [Music] she's never heard of that I don't think she did either I think she pretty well felt this game was sacked away fifty nine to fourteen Cowboys over the 49ers Dallas biggest point production since 1968 tying their all-time club record for most points in a single game needing to for the first down to birch still thrown niche Dwight Clark at the 40 and Clark is enough for the first down I don't believe you're gonna see these teams using their allotment of timeouts here I have to worry about that lock is ticking away with a minute and 15 seconds forty-niners with the hurry-up offense de Burgh sideline bro and Aaron Mitchell almost had himself an interception Cowboys with 8 turnovers for fumble recoveries for pass interceptions [Music] adding up to a lot of points it was 38 to 7 at halftime in case you jaundice late gadelle scoring on its first two possessions in the 49ers really never in this football game where the Cowboys started out with a strange twist they had about a 50-yard gain after a shotgun formation snap backfired Danny chased the ball around threw it up to Jace all day and that started off a string of event all against the 49ers Linville Elliott run out of bounds over on the fireside line by Dexter Clinkscale I guess you have to go back to the turning point in the game that was probably the play on the very first series of downs wasn't it to do when it's fifty nine to fourteen it's tough to find a turning point I wouldn't think so well Bill Walsh try to regroup for the Rams next week that'll be at home 49ers back in the confines candlestick and of course the Rams are playing awfully well right now this would be the 49ers third straight loss after three opening victories their best start since 1952 but no one really figured on them being in a divisional championship race this year they just look for inclusion Aaron Mitchell turnover of the day that's five interceptions mark is double-team by Dennis Thurmond number 32 and Aaron Mitchell's running with him and Steve de Berg tries to get over Mitchell's head Mitchell's I'm pretty good coverage he's got help behind and Dennis Thurman so he's not worried about Clark behind him and jumps up makes the interception interception number five long ride back to San Francisco for the 49ers tonight [Music] first in 10 Cowboys at their 40-yard line which Johnson wide to the left side karana was quarterback now but better than a quarter put the ball of the air I do a couple of dives was forced to scramble Lag is down is Newhouse gets the call and dies forward to the 43 yard line Pat Haggerty the referee checking things out several stunning results in that was the one that almost got intercepted [Music] hirato just sitting on the football Cowboys will have to run one more play and that will put San Francisco out of its misery well people have left their hearts in San Francisco I think San Francisco hopes they leave all their turnovers back here in Dallas because that's killed of the day they've left half a season full today I'll tell you nine according to our unofficial caps Serrano again sitting on the football and the clock will wind down the last 12 seconds here and that'll be the ball game Dallas with a 38 to 7 halftime lead and moving out to a 59 the 14 victory over the San Francisco 49ers to remain tied with the Philadelphia Eagles for first place
