Washington Redskins vs Dallas Cowboys 12/11/83 2nd H

fireworks and the fireworks are certainly in stores this is without doubt the game of the year for the football season the nfl season of 1983. score at the half washington 14 the dallas cowboys 10. about to go with half number two as washington leads dallas 14-10 beginning the second half jeff hayes will kick off for the redskins fellows and newsom back deep for dallas fellows is the man they'd like to have handle it you will that is on four trying to get behind the wedge they had a left return set up and fellows try to get around the corner now does fellow back out to the 28th beat cronin again the man who made the tackle look at the halftime stats these are two of the leading teams in turnovers yet there were none that was a big thing but the other interesting thing is the yards rushing here you see the redskins had 109 the cowboys only 32 and we know that stat about tony dorsett every time he gains 100 in fact every time he gains 100 yards or more in this stadium the cowboys win he's got a ways to go another 25 and 0 in the stadium when dorset gets over 100. first down cowboys their own 28 same offensive setup as danny white has springs and doors set behind him springs trying to get to the outside adds some blockers in front gets out to about the 36. chase down from the opposite spot aside by todd liebenstein richards comes in with the play now we'll start seeing what they thought about or talked about at halftime because usually when you get the ball these are all the things that you just gathered in your halftime meetings so it's second and two springs got eight on that screen pass from white and eight out of thirteen for a hundred yards to one touchdown that's the cosby it's back to dorset well set into a pile of redskins led by rich milan nothing doing a good play by them a lot that was an excellent play by a lot he got up there took on the blocker springs but he got penetration into the backfield you know and that's the way you stop dorsett you have to get in the backfield you'll see it here on the right hand side of the screen i watch ron springs 20 he's going to block now watch there's mulatt up there and now and now dorsett can't get to the outside he just squeezes to the inside where the guy's coming down the line get you got an assist from dexter mainly dorsett is out and the cowboys operate from the sprint rafferty's snap is good fight with time butch johnson comes up with a first down reception and very nearly broken for more yardage yeah daryl green the defender couldn't believe it he was right there he really had him covered watch him here and how that ball got in there i know daryl green has no idea what's the inside guy here he starts to the inside there's daryl green right there throws that right arm and that ball was in there by inches butch grabbed his right ankle as you can see right there and the green can't believe it butch over and they'll have a look at him it's first down cowboys at their own 40. opening seconds opening drive if it turns out to be one of quarter number three the handoff is the dorset and he only got a yard dave butts who's had a whale of a game spectacular game hey i don't know what they're thinking here when they think they can run tony dorsett to the inside against dave butts and daryl grant and the cowboys operate with billy joe dupree and doug cosby two tight ends white on a draw play to dorsett he breaks one tackle to the 45 shy of the first down ken coffee aim up to make the stop you know what happens on this the redskins are in a stunt now watch watch the tackle watch the left here dave butts he'll go out to the outside see now that opens the middle because the cowboys pick off that stunt and then dorsett is able to get inside see sometimes those pass rush stunts if you break a draw right between them you can get a big play they had a lot in the middle as they do now and now he moves over to the right side cowboys going to spread for formation the springs knock backwards it'll be short of a first down by about a foot it seems now we'll see who makes a decision and coffee is hurt that was ken coffee who made that hit on ron springs there's a heck of a tackle because he stops springs from getting the first down watch just now doug cosby's not in so now the favorite third down receiver and that third and five or six is ron springs what a collision they had there springs went backwards and coffee went down and still is they'll take a timeout landry has made the decision that joe gibbs made earlier fourth and inches and he's going for it it's about the same spot in the field they need a foot they aren't going to snap it they're trying to draw the redskins offsides if they don't go they'll take the penalty and punt they'll keep going they still have seven seconds they might want someone else to move nobody's gonna move and they didn't make it landry is really upset they went on that long count hoping the redskins would jump they didn't move and they still ran the play i was sure that they weren't going to snap the ball when it was when it was this late you usually go on one or three or five this must have been 22. geez there was nothing there no first down nothing did you see what tom landry thought on that play i don't think he thinks they're going to snap the ball he's going no oh rafferty is down the man who did snap the ball and still down graffiti's left sock trickled down and now he gets to his feet i you know i'm not sure i think i agree with you but that time landry can't believe that they snapped the ball after all that i don't think so because we see him there he's looking at the 32nd clock he turned around and the first thing he said when he saw the ball snap was no so the redskins take over both coaches have maybe made the decision to go on fourth and short both have failed riggins by downes and harvey martin number 14. everybody else on the bottom of that pile too i'll tell you they'll be guessing those you know the redskins were up 14 to nothing they know the last time they played they had them 23-3 and they didn't get them you know and you think but we're gonna we get them up against the ropes let's knock them out cowboys are they watch them on that whatever thank god sometimes you have to do those things here's riggins again got about three randy white around his feet that'll make it third in about three joe washington enters the contest so that would indicate pass coming maybe it's about four briggs comes out washington's in redskins when they leave it halftime are 24-1 in their last 25 games and that one happened the first game of this year when dallas came from behind to beat him 31-30 smirk in on the dallas defense size went back to throw looking looking and incomplete dennis thurman back there with him charlie brown the independent receiver and the defense does its job on the sideline talking with doug donnelly and ron springs among others mike hegman now jeff hayes who is also a very good athlete and who has room for confirmation and he can run very quick fellows back deep for dallas counting their players it's 14-10 redskins over the cowboys you know that's something in the redskins punt formation they put the wide guy is charles mann now watch him he's a big six foot five 250 pound defensive end he's the out guy he's the outside guy in the coverage team first guy down there he doesn't know what to do with it when he gets a hey get right over pretty good and otis wansley downed it after it bounced off man that's a good kick you want to see what it's like to be an up back on punt coverage watch here here's larry kubin now watch here's randy white he stays in on the punt coverage i watch the wrapping around kuben gets he starts here and says oh i got to go down and come holy man i still have a head one two harvey randy white again that guy draws a crowd doesn't he kubin finally said hey wait a minute i've been down there five times that had to be brewing though or they saw something on the film that they said hey we gotta get this kuben guy well they got him first down dallas their own six yard line 9 13 left third quarter two tight end springs left side where there is nothing daryl grams curtis jordan up to make the hit some of the other scores new england 14 the rams seven third quarter rams need that one badly taktupu just scored on a five yard run you get new england ahead san diego 24 kansas city 14. baltimore 16 denver nothing big game for denver st louis has gone ahead of the raiders mathematically the cardinals still have a chance for the playoffs two tight ends set up again cosby on the left and three on the right pitches out to dorset nowhere to go daryl green came up to trip him up as gorset got back to the original line of scrimmage i'll tell you that's the second play on a sweep that daryl green has made a good play we see the outside linebacker he'll hear mel kaufman he starts to the outside watch green come up there he comes up he's the corner man the force man the outside guy he comes up and makes a tackle so now it's third and ten from the cowboys six 7 55 left to play in the third quarter any white out of the spread looking and checking where that goal line is puts johnson in the game he was hurt earlier newsom stands back next to white rafferty is back too he was hurt earlier white gets it out of the end zone almost picked off monty coleman almost picked it off for the redskins it headed for springs and they'll have to punt him from back here it will be white i'm surprised that bad as he is the fact that the cowboys don't have doug cosby in the lineup in their spread formation they're using three wide receivers butch johnson being the third and the two bats white standing way back deep in his own end zone checking that white area so to make sure he doesn't step on that and back deep for the redskins i don't know what's wrong with nelms but it's virgil c danny white the only man on his way inside the 10 to about the seven before newsome and rod hill stopped it 42-yard punt 41-yard return you get all the talk about offense and defense and it could be special teams watch it from here c just catches the ball now the best way to take a punt return is straight up the middle he starts to the left boom breaks two tackles right there listen both now the only guy to hold him up there is danny white rod hill is coming from behind and timmy newsom and they catch him right there about the seven yard line first and goal from that point for washington john riggins the lone setback and heisman goes right to him he's tripped up after a yard bob brunig filled the hole and cut him down washington and gia quinto come on now for the washington redskins alvin garrett comes out along with riggins excuse me that means it's a passing down and because gia quinto is their designated receiver in these types of situations as is joe washington one of those who just wanders around and seems to wind up in the open now he goes in motion heisman comes with the roll out throws in behind the intended receiver was art monk wiseman threw it behind him michael downs was close but with a good throw from teisman that would have been six joe theismann really hasn't had his the same sharpness here since since he had that problem with those penalties down there in that last ride it's third down and goal from the six dallas defense spending a lot of time on the field washington and gia quinto now in motion washington behind kaiser this time he comes straight back picked off michael downs picks up sizeman's pass downs outside the 20-22 intended for washington washington was right at the goal line in the end zone but he was double covered he was inside outside feisman tried to try to stick it right between the two guys and he can't do it let's just receive feisman here there's washington right there see bates was outside michael downs was inside when he got the interception so dallas repels the redskins and they'll take over with a first down at their own 22. redskins still leading by four watch this watch the interception here here's joe washington he's going to run a hook here he's double covered bill bates will have him outside michael downes inside and downs right here comes up with the interception but washington comes out of the back you see bates go to the outside downs to the inside they have them inside out the ball's thrown inside so downs comes up for the interception and we come back live after that interception with dallas first and ten from their own 22. thighs would start at six out of six he's over five since then eight no shows today about that quite some confusion i'm not sure what tony hill stays on his feet tony hill gets out of bounds is cut down out of bounds the turnover ratio of these two teams washington has been phenomenal in that category after that one just happened they got him back from plus 40 to plus 39 and dallas now was plus 17. there are the league leaders minnesota losing today plus 18 washington now plus 39 dallas plus 17 and miami next in line and then followed by kansas city over on the dallas bench the defense in meeting second down four white back to throw has time and goals for tony hill incomplete and no penalties curtis jordan daryl green was the defender back there with him jordan over on the side to help but it was green who was back there i'll tell you and he's right there with him he's looking into him now when hill looks up green looks up and he knows the ball's in the air i better not touch him i'll put both hands up and there's no contact there i'll tell you he's pretty good from the other side he was the number one draft choice of the redskins last year in fact he was the last player taken in the first round he's a good choice because he can run yeah good movement you know he tackles on the sweeps covers deep not that big but they really have high hopes and are proud of what he's done so far third down and four white back to throw does still possibly has it go through his hand knocked loose and washington picks it off it's daryl green now they're blowing it down now saying no white chasing green knocking him out of bounds and danny white showing you some athletic ability and they're going to bring it back to the spot of the intersection it will be the redskins ball i don't know dale green must have been down somewhere i'll tell you that ball bounced off three guys one cowboy a second cowboy and finally into daryl green it was off costly then on butch johnson we had an interception by washington the intercepting player was hit in the air so he was down by defensive contact first stop let's see if we can see it there it's off cosby now pearson's going to go for it he's hit by vernon dean it's off him and then they said you see right there his knee was hit by pierson as he was flying over the pile here's cosby he's the inside guy right here he works back the ball is thrown high through his hands drew pearson goes to catch it he's hit by vernon dean and here comes daryl green over the top now what they said is right here is when green watch it right here when green catches the ball has the interception he makes contact with pearson right there we see he didn't make contact with pearson therefore he should be able to get up and run redskins first down 10. they're at the dallas 43 theismann rolls out now he has time and now he goes deep touchdown hard monk got it done for seismond heisman got the ball there i'll tell you art monk made a heck of a move out here on ron fellows the downs and thurman in the middle of the fun bunch you're not gonna let him jump there's a penalty thrown the official threw a penalty on that i don't understand that well of course the redskins after a touchdown the fun bunch gets to the end zone and celebrate two of the cowboys defenders were in that group personal foul number 26 defense personal foul number 87 offense unnecessary roughness after the touchdowns penalties offset we'll try the extra point of course that was michael downes and charlie brown oh we asked charlie brown what'd he do if that happened last night and everson walls told us that it might happen we still didn't see the move yet that aren't people we will in time as mark mosely hits the extra point with heisman holding and now there's another exchange going on let's watch it here now now monk starts in you see and he does like a stop see it's like a hook he stops fellas takes a bite he looks up goes pulled right by him and it's a perfect throw for the touchdown i'll tell you he really sold that stop to ron fellow so didn't he oh he did now let's watch the festivities well they're all in there there goes michael downs he pushes charlie brown charlie brown just pushed oh there it is right now washington over dallas now 5 22 left left in the third quarter jeff hayes set to kick off fellow coming out of the end zone three yards deep trying to go left again it's out to about the 17 the redskins special teams have always been good and man leads them this time back to the touchdown watch it again we'll see the same move but the big thing here is what art monk does here see most receivers want to do it too quickly see he stops he looks he puts his head fellows goes one two really took the bite on it and of course monk is buying and we get the rule down here a pylon equals the end zone touchdown touchdown yes dallas ball first and ten trailing now 21-10 5-12 left to play third quarter flag is down they get springs out of the backfield he only gets about three yards daryl green came up to make the hit now he helps run springs to his feet down near the soil emily against dallas redskins 21 cowboys 10. tom landry and dick nolan a little bit frustrated at the moment i'm very unhappy obviously i think tom still frustrated from that short yardage play i don't know exactly what it was but it sure did get to him and got him back in the hole and never really got out number 88 offense still first up penalty against the cowboys and drew pearson and here comes kurt peterson in with the message the play that tom landry once called richards goes out no place to go as the redskins string it out well done curtis jordan mel kaufman both involved we know it started all that is dave butz he got penetration and he knocked off the pulling guard so when dorsett gets to the outside he doesn't have his guard watch here here in the left side now watch butts 65 he gets through there you see him knock the guard off there he knocked the guard down now dorsett has one less blocker out in front good defense see there's a red jersey outside inside and right in front of let's knock down herbert scott so it's second and fifteen right cosby lost it ernest jordan the defender again cosby as a rule would not drop that ball number now both teams come in with their passing situation offenses and defenses the redskins unlike some of the teams and now with murphy it might be murphy out it might be even more different use only five defensive backs some teams go as much as seven with tony mcgee there with the black shoes on huh i like that those black high top shoes they need some mud and dirt and stuff here comes the blitz white is hit from the blind side by daryl green just as he let it go the redskins are usually not a blitzing team but they came that time and nobody picked up daryl green daryl green's been all over the field he's been up on force and support he's been back covering watch from the right hand side of your screen right here danny white's turning he's looking to his left or his right here comes green from the back side and boom he gives it to him just as he gets rid of the ball and he dude i didn't see that guy where'd he come from the cornerback white's last punt of course was returned by virgil c this one's not a very good card either c takes it on the bounce at his own 42 skips out of one tackle skips away from another one his cut down and flags go down bill bates rod fellows ron fellowes 45 yard punt nine yard return 36-yard net and the flag is down and so is virgil c limping at the moment looks pretty good back there returning kicks you're going to bring it all back the deliberate signal for men down the field against the cowboys holding against the redskins on the punt number 44 kicking team illegal block in the back number 50 receiving team penalties offset fourth down so white will have to do it again and the cowboys will have to cover it again virgil c almost got a lot more out of that one than he eventually did larry kuban well we said i'd better get me one of those cowboys they've been getting to me so white standing in the end zone will have to do it again virgil c back at his own 43-yard line 401 left to play redskins leading 21-10 better kick a better kick flag is down again c almost stepped out of bounds and now he does at the 44 but again there's a penalty marker down 49 yard point by white and a good highway i think virgil c had really hurt himself on the on the punt return before pat because as he was going for that ball he was limping towards it against the redskins virgil c number 80. he hurt himself on the previous punt then he had to go back out again and they mark it off against the that'll put it back at the 29 number 51 receiving team while the ball was in the air while the ball was in the air it was monty coleman the culprit heisman over with gibbs next saturday we will be in washington at rfk for the giants and the redskins if the wins today the redskins win today i should say they still have to win next week to make sure that they don't have to depend on what happens to dallas in san francisco a week from tomorrow night heisman going to work quick ask monk out there quickly outside the 35-37 about eight harvey martin randy white for an nfl update let's go to new york and brent musberger pat we've got a potential upset brewing in los angeles the st louis cardinals have come on to score 27 unanswered points on this touchdown pass lomax to tilly they now lead the raiders by 10 points 34-24 back to pat and john cardinals trying to keep their playoffs hopes slimway alive the raiders of course are already in second down and two from the washington 37 nisman goes to work again overthrows alvin garrett everson walls with him that'll make it third down have you noticed that most of theismann's overthrows he's had two or three of her always to his right side i think the reason is ed two tall jones on that side you know that he knocks down or bats down more passes than any other end in the league as they throw over him and then it becomes a high pass on that right sideline third and two tyson back to throw again and does stays on his feet and gets into dallas territory to their 40. bill bates finally knocked him out of bounds heart monk who missed much of last year with injuries has come on strong he's a big wide receiver i'll tell you he's made a heck of a move here after he catches a ball see now most receivers or a lot of receivers would catch that ball and be hit and knocked out of bounds but instead of going to the outside he does a little reverse spins and then gets up the field and starts it all over again and picks up another 10-15 yards first down at the dallas 40. 223 left to play third quarter washington on the move with the riggins hit from behind by mike hegman but he's still got about four yards you know what the redskins do you see they get that 21 to 10 lead you know now they can come back with that fullback game that power game that offensive line you know get in there get in the pits run behind those hogs and chew up that clock heisman has charlie brown and monk split wide to the left and garrett after the right they give to riggins riggins leans inside for about three john dutton on the bottom of the pile dallas cowboy fans obviously a little bit quieter than they were earlier this afternoon and concerned about the score which is 21 to 10 redskins leading could be that uh if things work out these two would play again this year in the nfc championship game you know it was so important to the cowboys because they've been in the last three championship games all on the road and they've lost them all and if washington wins today under certain circumstances they might be here but might not either griggins will not get the first down harvey martin randy white in the middle of the dallas line shove him back and shut him down this is the thing that tom landry said we have to do he said our biggest concern is short yardage he said john riggins is the best short yardage runner there is and he said we have to try and keep him out of those situations but if we do he said we have to tighten that thing up converge see how he brings his ends down here here comes harvey martin to the inside john dutton taking on the trap getting a lot of guys on john riggins mark mosley with seismic holding from 50 yards mosley that won't do it no good and they bring it back to the line of scrimmage which field would be the 32-yard line 26 seconds left now in the third quarter and the hopes and the fires still burn in the hearts of the cowboy fan let's check the other scores while we have a chance new orleans 20 philadelphia 17 it's over final in overtime 17 12. that's the final match gary hoga boom warming up on the sideline for the cowboys annie white however right now is still the quarterback fake a blitz now come off of it right going deep connie hill just shy of midfield for a dallas first down anthony washington the defender you get pass protection you get completions you see tony hill out here he's just going to run up like he's going deep and he's going to stop a run run a hook pattern just turn right back towards the quarterback and catch the ball in front of him again he did a good job of selling that he's going deep drove the cornerback off and he just hooked back to danny white that's the end of the third quarter with the score washington 21 dallas 10 we now pause for a word from your local meet an station man who's fed up with his job his family and his wife cowboys have the ball at midfield and washington leads 21-10 redskins have dominated danny white cosby has a first down hangs on this time curtis jordan with him but crosby found the handle and gets the first down from white that's what i think the cowboys have to do from now on is leave doug cosby in the game you know play him in there as a tight end if they go to the spread formation keep him in there that other formation the three right wide receivers and the two backs isn't really as effective against the redskins charles mann has replaced dexter manly in the defense he's the defensive right hand first down 39. he goes and here comes the penalty marker quickly has to be against dallas from where it came down and it's either a clip on drew pearson or a lake whip on doug cosby i think they had two of them right there at the point of attack tom landry has to find a play that works from 10 yards back or if it's a clip 15 yards back he's got that list with all the different colors it's against the redskins one of them they're clipping against the coworkers so he'll redo it then it must have been the clip against drew pearson and then the face mask against the redskins watch drew pearson out here the outside guy he starts out here in the block now he gets in you see and as green started to go to the inside he flipped him we have a 5 and 15 situation 5 yard face mask foul a number 55 on the defense personal file clipping a number 88 on the offense by rule only the 15-yard penalty is penalized it's still first down see him put his finger up to make that point by rule only the 15-yard penalty is marked off now the reason that is is if if one say that the defensive team just jumps off sides that's five yards that doesn't give the offensive team the right to commit a flagrant foul they say if there's a five and a 15 you just do the 15. so it's first down the down didn't count and one of the penalties didn't count it's first down right back to throw gonna be under pressure got a screen to go set got some room gorset tripped up on a good tackle by craig william garcetti dispute with man carol grant also involved fired the ball of grant now flags fly all over the place again this is going to be an interesting one tony dorsett threw the ball at daryl grant but you don't know what grant did don't give us both guys okay just one it's gonna be against dallas i'll tell you who makes a heck of a block is herb scott watch him 68 here he's going to pull out in front and watch him right there he cuts down a lot and that's the one that gets dorset here to the outside here it looks like daryl grant jumped on gorset he has his leg up there oh he pushed at him first sure did yeah grant threw that right at him gorset in retaliation through the ball they missed the darrell grant part look he jumps there the knee comes up there gorset says something pushes a knee away grant throws the right gorset throws the ball the official throws the flag well after all that now it is second down and 27 13 54 left to play the redskins leading by 11 points and white back to throw has some time picked off greg williams makes the interception still on his feet still on his feet finally knocked out of bounds by donovan but the redskins take over in dallas territory 25-yard return with the interception of danny white's throw drew pearson the intended receiver i'll tell you they say that these redskins are on the bottom in past defense but they sure come up with the turnovers they sure come up with a big play mark murphy out we'll see williams back here good stun good pass protection he has time it's not the problem you see williams reads it steps right in front of drew pearson picks it off and makes a good run after the interception red skins now appear to be in good shape leading 21 can one dallas 10 13 41 remaining redskins have it after the interception at the cowboy 38 yard line 13 40 left to play jasmine going for more and going quickly and now he squirms out of the trap and is taken down by john dutton pressure was put on early by randy white harvey martin you can see the rush he makes a little fake to riggins riggins picks up brunic as the time he pumps in there there's bruning back on him he says i can't throw there i better find someplace to go down let me get out of here i think that's the thing that joe theismann doesn't do he doesn't make the dumb mistake he pumped he saw there wasn't he didn't try and force it he took the sack that's a smart play eisenmann back to throw they pick up the blitz and heisman goes deep he's got a man flag is down two flags are down rod hill was back there with charlie brown and they're gonna call it against rod hill you sure are rod hill and charlie brown were running down on that up rod hill bumped charlie brown number 25 defense first off him right here you see rod hill isn't looking at the ball he's not looking for the ball he's just watching charlie brown right here the ball's in the air he gives him the bump there just as he turns around and then he got i don't know the legs got caught up or something in there too but i think he bumped him with his left shoulder 37 yards on that penalty against rod hill and it'll be first and goal for the redskins at their own at the dallas four-yard line those are the penalty yards for the day dallas six times for 109 yards two big pass interference penalties redskins five time it's riggins and wansley goes in motion now iceland gives to reagan and riggins barrels down to about the two john dutton on the bottom of the pile bill bates helped out that's tough to do for a normal fullback john riggins started to the left and then cut back to the right and on short yardage goal line you don't have any blockers back there he just took on the whole left side of the cowboy defense by himself and gold in motion again it's riggins and again he stopped got about a yard bob grudy from the bottom of the pile let's watch the linebackers in here everyone's key and they only have one guy to watch and that's john riggins i think when he gets the ball down here in the goal line he draws a crowd everyone's keying john reagan let's see if heisman has a rollout in mind briggins still the lone setback as wensley goes in motion he's been looking got some room over to his left heisman waffled at the goal line no hands up by the officials as yet heisman is out of there unheard joe feisman never seems to get hurt i'll tell you you talk about a guy this guy's an athlete this guy's tough this guy but this sizeman is something to watch here he's faking he's rolling too tall jones gets up stops him on that side he sees he has an open here he has a sprint to the end zone he's not going to throw now he's sprinting it's easy has to get in he just dives in and of course the ball didn't break the plane of the goal line and it's fourth down and the redskins are going for the touchdown that was bruce heather who hit heisman the theism in the air and it's fourth down the game is to riggins touchdown bruce heather was down there pounding the ground he's the guy that was key in john riggins i have the two middle linebackers in there they both key reagan's they both try and hit the hole at the same time watch it right here riggins second back starts in there watch how they're going bill bates hits him but riggins pushes the pile this way did i see the ball come flying out of there it was after it was a touchdown though after he scored right mosley with the extra point makes it redskins 28 cowboys 10. from the other angle watch the old motion the fake back motion we'll see the full back lead riggins the second back he takes off dives now once that ball breaks the plane of the goal line it's a touchdown but after broke the plane it did come right down the goal line touchdown for the redskins and they have a very comfortable lead at the moment 28-10 washington 28 dallas 10 time remaining 11-19 redskins in command as jeff hayes kicks off i think will be handled by fellows that is tim he gets confused and stops he gets out to about the 20. vernon dean down there to lead the special teams for the redskins here's the touchdown by riggins of course the rule is is once the ball the football breaks the plane of the goal line it's a touchdown i watch friggins dive in here you can see the ball right here and it's going to break the plane right there see it broke the plane now now anything that happens after that it doesn't mean a thing so the fact that the ball did come flying out of there doesn't mean a thing as john madden says it's still a touchdown first down for the cowboys their own 20. and a lot of work cut out for him it's run springs staying on his feet gets outside the 25-27 mel kaufman tripped him up there's john riggins i think he looks like a full back doesn't he huh look at those legs man you don't shave you're ready to play let's watch dave butts here and on a stunt now he starts to the inside then he goes to the outside the outside man comes inside really on a stunt the end and the tackle exchange the end in tackle kurt peterson blocking on butts here comes the glitch and white gets it out on the screen to go set and gorset is taken down by rich marlotte who played it perfectly i'll tell you who i like those big linemen of course but do you see 65 he's out there too he was kind of between danny white and dorsett when you get that big body in there it's tough to throw now watch he'll read this he starts in here he's going against howard richard he says pass pass nope screen screen here goes to our set now watch butts get in there now he gets between dorsett and danny white block comes up and makes the play rich malott the coaches say is playing as well as any linebacker in the league third down and long third and six for dallas they go from the spread tony hill gets enough for the first down anthony washington was with him but hill worked his way open dwight got it to him first down cowboys there's joe seisman that's a great deal of confidence in his ability i'll tell you he has a great deal of confidence in joe gibbs's ability joe gibbs has a great deal of confidence in joe theismann's ability and it's turned out to be a very good match there's joe gibbs talking to him you know you talk about the great coaches i think this guy right here in the last couple of years has done his good or better job than any other well the record speaks for itself drew pearson of all sails over his head here's the intended receiver in white time remaining with the redskins leading 28 to 10 is 8.58 still enough time oh boys will do from now on zeissman has never won as a quarterback for the redskins here at texas stadium the redskins themselves haven't won here since 1976. white gets it outside and the pass they rule is complete by drew pearson white was under fire and under pressure tony mcgee and dexter manley were all in his face anthony washington the defender but watch drew pearson how he works back for the ball anthony washington is a corner here he pushes up now he's going to run it out see he goes to the sideline now you don't have him beaten there but you have one more chance work back work back he does and that's where he beats him and gets the ball by working back towards the line of scrimmage i'll tell you you see danny white had a tough time stepping up he had two guys right on him as he threw that one mcgee and manly it's third down and about two clock is stopped as pierson did get out of bounds the redskins faking blitz jump and then get back white retreats here comes the rush osby will have the first down mel kaufman with the big tight end but white running for his life pressure by butts every time danny white is throwing the ball now he has a lineman hanging on him there's manly up the middle there's butts right there justice white throws the ball he's hit by butts when a guy weighs over 300 by he just taps you you do summerslam you keep going backwards don't you dave butts has played a good as good a game by a defensive lineman today as i've seen in a long time he's been all over he's been there to run at him run away from him pass rush running down screens looking to go deep he has tony hill the defender fell down anthony washington trip white had already thrown the ball before the slip down i'll tell you watch this anthony washington has a tough job he's out here on tony hill man-to-man he starts to go inside then he comes back out and he trips right here tony hill is wide open all by himself and the ball's thrown over his head that's frustration you know tony hill may have kicked anthony washington might have been what caused him to trip like that anyway they didn't get the ball there it's second and ten balls at the dallas 46. rafferty the center 7 58 left to play as white retreats and here comes that redskins stun again ass intercepted by greg williams tony hill never looked around and that's his second of the day the third interception i'll tell you they're doing a job on defense today the you know it all starts though with the pass rush they've always had a someone pushing someone being on danny white you watch him here again it's that same stunt they cross on both sides you see he really couldn't step up with his left foot it's a double zone the safety's over makes the interception so the redskins take over at their own 37. here are the dallas cowboy turnovers of interception the redskins got a touchdown another interception the redskins got a touchdown they just got their third interception and we'll see eisman has riggins behind him and look for him to go to work anthony dickerson comes out to help with the tackle it was dennis thurman who was out there with it with him and some of the cowboy fans have started to depart first it was an interesting thing joe theismann was saying last night he said you know even if we get ahead he said we want to keep after him he said we don't want to get conservative we just want to keep after him keep going keep playing the way that we got there you know i asked him what would be his feeling and the team's feeling if they did lose he said i never thought about it nope rigging is it back first down riggins gets the carrick wiggins rolls into the secondary and rolls to the dallas 35 dexter klinksgale on the bottom of the pile but riggins picked up 16 yards because they even have a smile on that play when you find a soft spot in the cowboy defense that's like whoa what happened over here good block by stark on two tall jones i don't know what happened to the outside linebacker on that play a block downfield they really gave him on defense that's what you call a soft corner look at the job that george stark does on 212 fires into him and it turns his body the tight end had a block on hegman and here goes riggins over the left side now bob rooney trips cowboys benches dejected well you'd expect well i'll tell you one reason you know they started in training camp and tom landry had some different policies and getting tougher and curfews and no spiking and so on his big thing was they wanted to get into playoffs but play the playoffs in the championship game at home here comes riggins stays on his feet momentarily mike hegman and bob brunica knocked him down you know what i like about this team is they have a lot of groups you know they got the smurfs those are outside with savior they got the fun bunch the guys that do the dance and the thing they got the hogs the offensive linemen the pearl harbor crew that's a defensive that's because they've been throwing so many bombs at them and then joe says hey i feel like i've got a toy he said he also feels like he's a ring linger leader of the circus stysman down the middle charlie brown the receiver charlie brown has a first down stopped by rod hill dave butts has had such a spectacular day that big guy 300 pounds six seven six eight he's been in those trenches a long time he's had one wheel of a day riggins carried 25 times 83 yards gained dallas all the backs 20 carries 33 yards so rickens has outgained dallas by 50 yards up till now randy white on the bottom of the pile reagan's got a couple that'll make it second down about eight yeah we talk about all those things and they're running and the difference and all that uh but a lot of it has to do with alignment and i really think that the lineman these guys here have done a heck of a job today against the cowboys defense on the other side i think the redskins defensive line have done a heck of a job on the cowboys offensive line i think they've won the battle it won the battle and that's where it is saw the statistic on tony dorsett and you'll see what happens when he doesn't do riggins fighting for yardage gets down to about the 13-yard line randy white around the bottom of his legs riggins just leans and wins and picks up yards when it looks like he stopped at the line of scrimmage you know john riggins doesn't watch the the game films you know when the teams come back on monday they all watch the films together and mostly it's broken down into the running backs and receivers watching together in the linemen watch it by themselves they do that with the redskins but riggins watches the film with the offensive linemen he goes in there with the hogs you know and they probably have some ribs and chicken and sandwiches he burgers bombed by dickenson that's the fourth sack by the cowboys sizeman was really hit hey what's tiesman back here now he's going to find here here comes dickerson straight up the middle now again that's a smart move by feisman you see the rush coming now you can try and throw get the thing tipped or intercepted he saw it says i don't have a chance we have a field goal i'll take the sack we got a good lead and we'll kick the field goal right here and that field goal by mosley with heisman holding will come from 38 yards out mosley this time is good right down the pipe and it's the redskins 31 the cowboys 10. did you see who just came into booth with the biggest smile i've ever seen the general manager the washington redskins bobby beathard just patted us on the back you know this champion north carolina state wolf pack jim valvano here it's washington 31 dallas 10 jeff hayes to kick off bellows and news indeed hayes hangs it high and deep and fellows from the two coming left fellows to the 28th bounces from there stopped by larry kubin scores of other games still in progress that one's in the fourth quarter new england 21 ram 7. san diego 38 kansas city 31 they're still playing baltimore 19 denver's seven john elway has just thrown a touchdown pass in st louis 34 the raiders 24. cardinals by 10 first and ten here and here it's washington 31 dallas 10 227 left to play danny white throws fumble redskins football monty coleman richard milot made the stop and coleman comes up with the ball and the redskins get the ball another turnover by the cowboys and that's why the the redskins have that 40 plus ratio they just get things like this i mean here the ball is right there he just puts his right hand in knocks the ball out tips it around someone comes in and jumps on it i'll tell you this is a very opportunistic team hello those tremendous number of turnovers they're back to 40 now would indicate that washington 31-10 over dallas and with a chance for more look at this turnover ratio we were just talking about a minute ago washington so far in front of everybody else plus 43 minnesota plus 18 and then on down the line they had dropped back to 39 earlier today but here's what they've done with their turnovers nick giaquinto down to about the 31 bill bates on the bottom of the pile along with bruce heather and john dutton washington 31 dallas 10. the other thing you aren't going to see joe gibbs do here is put in his back up quarterback bob holly he says he doesn't think that does any good he said it doesn't do the team any good it doesn't do holly any good so you just leave the starter and get the game over with when you got the victory and they'll get the two-minute warning as you look at bob holly redskins up safely giving that axe leader joe feistman is always ready for any key play his team may need for victories heisman's total dedication to team success propelled washington to its first nfl title last season it was earned in super bowl 17 when feisman made one of the game's most important plays wiseman strips full camper to save a sure miami touchdown i'm making any sacrifice to win joe feistman is the best he can be for the raiders 24. that is a final now of course the raiders are already in the playoffs they've already clinched their divisional championship here it's 3110 and the redskins fans have cause and reason to celebrate some supporters of the hogs you were just looking at second down and six as gia quintos again the running back and again carries off the right side john dutton and bill bates on the stop again you love to see the hogs have have some supporters they ought to you know russ grimm on that thing see him 68 there he just blew randy white right off the line of scrimmage on that last play these guys only know one way to play get down there you get down just watch it here he's a left guard here watching on danny on on randy white boom just head in there drive those legs just knock them right off the line of scrimmage fourth quarter ahead by 21 points they don't care they only know it's not bad yeah get down in there and grunt and play that's why they win these guys right here in the picture there on third down it's geoquinto in the hands of harvey martin that'll stop him and it'll be fourth down and mark mosley strolls around on the sideline 107 and now the clock running at 105. 104 left to play redskins will just let it run niceman stays in the game dexter manly got rid of that mohawk he said i don't need that anymore he said that gets tough on the brain redskins very very happy fourth down they're going to take a long time they'll take a delay if they have to the cowboy's not calling a timeout they know that that is sort of useless well looks like they're keeping their offense in there 60 minutes will be coming up right away after this football game is over the all-star party for frank sinatra the jeffersons good night beantown and trapper john md all at the regular sunday night lineup here i don't know he's james stewart burt reynolds carol burnett gary grant richard burton and tommy lasorda all in that cast of that party for frank sinatra that'll give dallas a first down they'll stop the clock on the change of possession as joe gibbs will have a very pleasant and happy and what'll seem like a short flight back to our nation's capital tonight the redskins take another step closer executive producer of the nfl on cbs's terry o'neill senior producer charles milton iii sandy grossman directed this game produced by terry o'neill joan vitrano the associate producer stu meyer scott johnson last glance vero the broadcast associates goes danny white in action had it dropped it redskins on the rush it's been a disastrous day and there once again is number 65 on the bottom of the pile and that's dave butts butts almost caught that ball you see it come flying out there it looked like it was right in his in his stomach watch it again see if we can see butts here he's coming right over here from the right of our screen see again he's stunning to the outside i watch danny white tries to get rid of bouncing i think it hit butts in the face mask he said i don't want that doggone ball i want that doggone quarterback tony mcgee and a stunt with butts put the pressure on white and he's been throwing off balance all day long because of that great rush by the front four out of bounds and that's the end of this football game and a very impressive performance by the washington redskins as they defeat dallas 31-10 joe gibbs happily goes off time landry and a little bit of a slouch gives waving to him at this point can't find him next saturday we'll have a chance on cbs here to watch those redskins again against the giants at rfk stadium coming up next the wrap-up show on all the highlights of all the action around the nfl today with brent mussberger the scores and the highlights final score
