These old games are priceless gems that remind us of our youth and the good times. The legendary Pat Summerall & Tom Brookshire loved to party together wherever there was one.
This game was such a treat. The four best safeties in the NFL, not to mention Nolan Cromwell and Hughes in the nickel packages. Just awesome ball hawks.
I'm a long time Dallas Cowboy fan but this is the first time I saw this game. I remember when it was played, my mom had me go with her to do something. We were gone all day, and I ended up missing it. Thank you for sharing it.
Watching some of these beautifully restored videos, we can listen to Cosell again. OMG, his input was so useless! He contributed absolutely nothing to those broadcasts! Cosell was a clown.

i loved these cowboys, tom landry was a class act, nothing but respect for rodger the dodger, i thought this would be the superbowl dallas would finaly beat bradshaws steelers, but it just wasnt meant to be
Over time my opinion has changed regarding this game. The Rams were primarily a running team and they were missing McCutchen and Tyler. Also Peacock. Capiletti got hurt early. They were down to Bryant a FB and Jodat who was mainly a ST guy. It appears WR Waddy was out as well. Ram O was handicapped then throw in Haden who was too short to play QB. The rams D kept it close but the rams had no offense all game. This wasn’t the same Rams team that beat Dallas by two TDs earlier that season. As a Steelers fan I was hoping the rams would win so the Steelers could avenge a 10-7 regular season loss in the mud.
At full strength, the Rams may have been the best team in the league that year. Haden was a liability, but the rest of the roster was so good, they could overcome that.
Cowboys still in their spectacular Royal Blue jerseys, when pressed into service, lol. And, from charcoal pants to blueish here. The subtle changes in Dallas' uniforms over the years, are interesting.
That tells you how gigantic the L.A. Memorial Coliseum is that an NFC Championship game couldn't sellout the coliseum. There were 71,000 fans in a 95,000 seat coliseum. The same thing has happened now that the Rams returned to L.A.
No, it was a sellout. To make it happen, the Rams built temporary seating in one end, and didn't sell the seats behind it. Still, they rarely sold out, so they moved to Anaheim Stadium in 1980. (They ruined that place.)
@@davidlafleche1142 I think that their move to Anaheim was a terrible mistake because I never heard of Anaheim being a football town. Let's see how they will do at their new stadium in Inglewood, CA once it is completed for the 2020/2021 season. I wish them well since the owner invested a lot of money on that project and rejected a stadium proposal from the city of St. Louis that it was going to be financed by that city. That every professional sports team owner's dream to have a venue built for his team with taxpayers' money.
@@factsoverfeelings1395 Anaheim Stadium used to be a beautiful, baseball-only facility, with its gigantic Big-A scoreboard. The least they could have done was keep it where it was. Incidentally, Boston is the only city in which all the teams paid for their own stadiums, with no taxpayer funding.
@@davidlafleche1142 I agree, that was the first MLB stadium where I saw my first ever MLB game back in 1981 to see the great legend Rod Carew. I was impressed with that stadium the very first time I saw it.
@@davidlafleche1142 Didn't the Raiders have 90,000 plus sellout crowds in the 1983 playoffs, both Divisional round, and AFC Championship as well as the 1985 divisional round when they lost to New England?
Rams beat Cowboys 27-14, Pittsburgh 10-7 and Oilers 10-6 earlier that season. A Ram-Oiler Superbowl would have been interesting. Steelers had never beaten Rams. Until Superbowl XIV.
I think the Rams were physically a better match up against Pittsburgh than Dallas. Unfortunately, their offense was so predictable that Landry and his staff could usually find a way to stifle it, and then hope his offense could score enough points.
@@Biggdoom344 1973 Rams were the #1 offense and #1 defense in the NFL. They were also 12-2. Thay were the best Ram team of the 70's. And one of the best teams ever to not win a Super Bowl. To see how rare it is to lead the league on both categories, just take a look at the list of teams who have done it since 1950. 52 Browns. 8-4 lost NFL title game. 53 Eagles. Somehow went 7-4-1. No playoffs. 72 Dolphins. UNDEFEATED. 73 Rams. 12-2 lost in Div. round . 77 Cowboys. 12-2 Super Bowl Champions 2010 Chargers???? 9-7 Out of playoffs. This team won 6 games by 20 or more, also lost another 5 games by a combined total of 28 points. The worst coaching job of this century so far by Norv Turner.
bigpapasmurf Z I don’t remember the 1973 rams since I didn’t start watching football until 74. I do remember a very good rams team in 75 and this one in 78. Rams were a constant disappointment. Like in 77 losing at home to a weak Vikings team. Then probably the weakest team they had in that 73-79 stretch goes to the SB. Rams always seemed to either have QB issues or ST problems. Plus Knox was very predictable.
Yeah home teams used to wear their away jerseys at home to force the cowboys to wear the blue. The Eagles and the Giants did that every year for a while there.
summeral and brookshier great tandom probably better than cosell and merideth, back then I watched the afc closer but always liked the cbs crews better than other networks. btw i hate the cowboys always will but i consider staubach top 6 all time qb.
They also did the weekly NFL highlight show, This Week In The NFL. I would sit in front of my crappy little t.v., and make an audio recording of the show, by holding the mic up to the speaker on the set. Then, each night, I would lie in bed and play it as I fell asleep. I agree, as much as I hated the Cowboys, Staubach was, in my opinion, the best QB of that era.
One of the best athletes in the game and he couldnt even dunk on the goalpost. Hard to find a LB over six feet tall 25 years old today that doesnt have enough vertical to do that
+Andy Capalletti ran for 106 yrds against Steelers in a 10-7 Ram win. Only other runner to run for over a hundred yards against Steelers was Earl Campbell on a Monday night, Oiler 24-17 win. Only 2 games Steelers lost 1978 season.
First I’ve seen this game since it happened in January 1979. Thanks for posting. I still remember the whole room of us erupting when Hollywood Henderson ran that pass back!
He still is. He;s the classiest superstar QB of all time. He was Captain America for more than just his athletic skills. IMO, he's the GOAT. and only Montana has an legit argument to be considered in the conversation. Brady would have been crushed had he played in that era. He would have retired at 33 after getting knocked around like the QBs of Roger's time.
I was 16 years of age in '78 OMG what a great game for my cowboys, I can still remember this game, I will always treasure these cowboy wins I just wish we could've beat those dam cheeters in the super bowl, but beating LA was dope, so were the uniforms we wore that great day
We had the opportunity to beat the Steelrees, but that dropped TD pass was a killer..it was a bad pass, possibly catchable, but not at that speed..Roger felt bad about it, even though Jackie Smith blamed himself..it wasn't his fault, just an errant pass that the sliding catch couldn't hold onto..saved the steelers ass, lol..2022 now and there are still teams that have never won a SB..the Bills lost 4 in a row, the Vikings lost 2 in a row..
@@richardhamblen5526 ,, absolutely agree with you,,our tradition & preciseness of Dallas Cowboys football continues,,we are so desperate to win a super bowl,, I hope they deliver it to us very soon and yes we blame Jackie bcuz he was the primary receiver, but staubach admitted it was more his fault
Charlie Waters played cornerback for his first 5 seasons after Cliff Harris beat him out for the free safety spot (Cornell Green was entrenched at strong safety.), often struggling at that position because he didn't really have the speed to handle it. There was an infamous game against the Rams in 1973 (also in the Coliseum) where Harold Jackson caught over 200 yards worth of passes on him. When Green retired in 1975, they moved Waters to SS and he was an instant star. At the time this game aired, he was the best safety in the entire league. Tragically, he blew his knee out the following preseason and missed the entire year. He came back to play 2 more years as the mentor of a young secondary (called "Charlie's Angels by some) before retiring after the 1981 season.
In the last 15 seconds of the broadcast you hear Tom Brookshire say to Pat Summerall, "Let's go get a cold one" and Summerall replies, "That sounds like a great idea to me". The irony is, both had alcohol problems. Brookshire sought help first and then joined Summerall's family in an intervention that led to Summerall's own success at dealing with his problem.
Just think Joe Buck is the best play-by-play announcer I've ever heard. That statement encompasses a lot of great announcers. The announcers today are just fine. Many are fantastic.
First NFL game I ever watched; 9 years old stuck visiting elderly aunt who had cable TV, thus watched the team with the star on the helmet. Never looked back.
Same here but Thanksgiving Day 1970 Cowboys vs Packers bet my brother 50 cents Cowboys would win 49 years later STILL haven't got my 50 cents been a loyal Cowboys fan ever since
It's amazing how times have really changed. Look how almost all the fans in the stadium rooting for the Rams nowadays a game in LA, more than half the fans are rooting for the opposition.
Not sure if anyone noticed or posted about this... for you Three’s Company fans, if you look at 51:33 - 52:01, you will see a young Jenilee Harrison who was a LA Rams cheerleader at the time. She played the part of Cindy Snow, replacement for Suzanne Somers in 1980. She was also on the show Dallas in the 80’s. I always thought she was sexier than Somers or the other blonde that replaced her on that show.
well the jinx is because they are one of the few teams that wear their white jersey's at home so when they wear their blue jersey's they are on the road. As the case with any team, you're always better at home.
@@michaelleroy9281 And even more than 12 might have made it -- Mike Hegman was picked in the 7th round and missed the year due to an injury. He became a starter a few years later. Then there was Jim Zorn, who had actually made the final cut before Preston Pearson became available, forcing the team to let him go. Of course, Zorn became one of the Seahawks' first stars the following season and played against the Cowboys during that expansion year.
oh boy!!!! you ask ANY old Cowboy's fan about those blue jerseys and they will tell you they were cursed when they wore those "blues"!!!!! I like them too though. Try it sometime anybody who is a REAL hardcore Cowboy's fan will tell ya. was gonna say a spoiler oops.
@@mechagojira6951 Oh I lived through that jinx era, the Colts in SB 5, The Eagles in 80, Redskins in 82...but I still loved this look, great uniforms! No Jinx in this Championship game though!
Agreed loved the blue cowboy uniforms mainly because they rarely got to wear them. Tex Shram sure didn’t like them and switched colors after Eagles NFC championship win in 1980-81. Teams would switch to whites at home to force cowboys to wear the blue colors.
Forced to wear the Blue as “home” team in Super Bowl V loss to Cowboys. Not happy and in Super Bowl in 79 against Steelers got to wear white as home team.
Randy White broke his hand on Haden's helmet when he rushed Haden into Waters' 2nd pick. This came back to bite him in Super Bowl XIII when he attempted to pick up a short kickoff and dropped the ball, giving the Steelers an easy TD.
Few people remember that the manster's fumble on that short kick off was just as responsible for cowboys loss to the dispised Steelers as JACKIE SMITH dropped touchdown pass. What could have been !. The steelers owned the cowboys and they knew it.
@@dennissaunders5247 Well, Staubach owned half of that incompletion, saying that he lofted the ball in there too softly when he should have drilled it.
I was also 20 and watched it on some sort of big screen projection tv at a bar with my girlfriend that happened to be 21 at the time. I was on cloud nine. Then later she and my cowboys broke my heart at about the same time with Super Bowl XIII and some @$#* she pulled next day. But I would trade a hundred of her if Dallas could have won that game…..
Back then we didn't need the moving robots, excessive commercials, pyro, overbearing pregame jock commentary, and way too numerious pregame shows. We had Madden, Summerall, Enberg, Olson and the legendary MNF crew. Joe Buck no👎🏼. Tony maybe but not yet...
Don't the penalties, halfwitted sideline reporters, replays to make you dizzy and then there's the social commentary declaring that those watching the NFL are bigots while those playing are victims of discrimination and hate.
Listen till the end... Pat Summerall, "Lets go get a cold one Tom". Tom Brookshire, "Sounds like a good one Pat" Folks, those were the good days of the NFL. They ran the ball, and none of that PC junk...Man, I miss those days.
A Miller Lite or Natural Light maybe. Those beers were very popular then. Even a Schlitz Light. Veteran actor James Coburn was helping to introduce it at the time in a commercial.
I'm a Cowboys fan, and I've got to give to the Rams defense. That group from they had in 70's was just as good as the Doomsday's, Steel Curtain's, Purple Gangs, No Names, etc. The Rams passing game back then was pretty damn effective too, when it wanted to be. It seems like the 70's Rams were one break away style RB away from being a dynasty. Unfortunately by the time they got that guy it was 1983.
Rams never had a QB to make their offense go. 1974-1978 Pat Haden, James Harris, and Ron Jaworski were mediocre at best. John Hadl was terrific in '73 but he was old and they traded him for a ton of draft picks. Ferragamo was o.k. but he only had two years 1979-80 before getting hurt.
Cowboys Jackie Smith at TE for the injured Jay Saldi. Little did we Cowboys fans know how Smith would change franchise history a few weeks after this game....
At the time, this was one of CBS All Time rated Games. The anticipation for this was through the roof. The Rams defense was BIG BOY in this game, but.... in classic Ram fashion they left their offense on the team bus. Haden was horrible and Ferragamo wasn't much better after Haden broke his thumb.It would be the Cowboys day, but they easily could have lost. This Ram team beat Pittsburgh, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Philly. I remember hoping the "Horns" would beat the Cowboys, well.....it didn't happen this day.
The Rams were the one elite NFC team that had the size on both sides of the ball to go toe to toe with the best of the AFC, unlike my Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings, who were quick and nimble and could take advantage of a frozen Met Stadium field but got rolled over in the neutral site Super Bowl games on tuff or good grass. Had the Rams had a Fran Tarkington on their roster they would have played in multiple Super Bowls in the 70s and won at least one of them. Dallas played two great Super Bowls against the Steelers but they got run over at the end of the day.
Rams had beaten Oilers, Steelers and Cowboys. Steelers had never beaten Rams. Rams-Steelers would have been much better in Miami. Hate the Cowboys. Rams-Oilers would have been a better Superbowl in Miami.
This was the last time in a decade when the Cowboys and Vikings took turns knocking the Rams out of the playoffs. The Rams would finally get through to the Super Bowl the following year only to lose to the Steelers after a disastrous 4th quarter.
Mike casey i so agree. Always felt so bad for youngblood and co. Our defense was awesome but it just got worn down because we knew we had zero chance to score. Pat haden was the worst. Was way to small and had no arm strenght. So many playoff dissapointments.
@@stardaddyo9 It was criminal how badly they mismanaged the QB position during the 70's. The roster, outside of the most important position, was the best in the league. It hurts even more when you think they may have had 2 decent QB's on the team (Jaworski, Harris), only to let them go. Oh what might have been.
Roman gaberial #18 , who was dating jim neighbors aka GOMER PYLE was the first DUD. JAMES Harris #12 was the second dud. The polish rifle Ron Jaworski #16 had talent but they let him go. Then the little dude PAT HADEN #11 the so cal high school football USC hot shot and he couldn't get it done. Finally VINCE FARAGOMO #15 HE GOT THE RAMS TO THE BIG GAME BUT LOST TO PITTSBURGH. THE VIKINGS AND COWBOYS WERE NIGHTMARES FOR THE LOS ANGELES RAMS IN THE 70'S.
I remember watching this game on tv. I was 13 years old. What I remember about this game besides a Dallas Cowboys shutout victory were the disco song bits used as CBS went to a commercial break. Love the disco guitar riff from the song “Find My Way” by Cameo heard at the end of the 3rd qtr. & after Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson TD interception. Great memories.
Cowboys put to rest they can't win the big game & blue jerseys nonsense well they wore their blue jerseys and bomb the Rams 28 -0. Thank you for this Virgil this is actually become a rare game hard to find anywhere on TH-cam or anywhere else!
I'm happy Cliff Harris is going to the HOF in 2020, but Charlie Waters had the way better stats of the 2 safeties, so logic tells me Waters should get in before Harris.
A superb display of defensive football and that same Rams's style of defensive football was displayed 40 years later in the last Super Bowl against the Patriots when they kept the Patriots from scoring for 3 quarters. Many new generation fans found that the last Super Bowl was too boring since they were accustomed to high scoring games. I didn't find it boring since I have been exposed to defensive and offensive football.
I really wish I would have watched these games back in the '70s they were great games, real football.I did not start watching Football until 1982. The first one I watched was the year of the strike when the New York Jets played the Miami dolphins at Shea Stadium in the dolphins destroyed the Jets. The first Super Bowl I watched was the Washington Redskins and the Miami dolphins I was rooting for the dolphins and Washington had heart and beat the dolphins in Super Bowl 17. I was just a kid at the time living in Staten Island New York didn't know anything about football at the time.
Frank Glieber, who provided sideline commentary for this game, was a great announcer. He did Cowboys broadcasts for much of his career, first as the radio voice of the team and then with CBS. He also called many NBA broadcasts. Tragically, he died of a heart attack at age 51, just after the 1985 draft. I loved his style.
When Landry stopped coaching I ceased to b a Cowboy fan-everything I admired about the Cowboys left when he did-especially when they hired flat-top and his win at all costs attitude
anyone who was around back then will know what "Dallas" meant. It can't be copied today. It was as close to a national team as you can get. And i am not a Cowboys fan. But whenever you heard the word Dallas in the fall it was a very big deal.
I'm an NYG fan so Dallas is a division rival.What was amazing was how big they were all over the country. The Patriots have never been even 1/10 as popular as Dallas was.
I know just what you are talking about. I grew up in Minneapolis and I was 11 when this game was played so I watched the tremendous Vikings teams of that era. But my Grandpa was so stoked for the Cowboys and nobody better get in front of the TV during Thanksgiving when they played in those days.
Remember this game like yesterday because finally had NFC championship at home. Nothing was more frustrating than being a Rams fan from 73-80. This was not the best team of that period. 73 and 75 were better. But Rams at home could have done better. Haden was terrible and its a shame LA gave up on both James Harris and Jaws, both of which would have taken LA to more Super Bowls imo.
@@muffs55mercury61 I remember Frank Corral missed a couple of field goal attempts in the first half that destroyed any momentum the Rams could have gained...
I remember this game, I was 9 years old, about to go to Sunday night church. I watched the beginning of the game and was excited Dallas was wearing their blue jerseys.
@@KT72273 Their next season of 1979 would be their last at the Coliseum, and only Super Bowl season in L.A. (until last season) before moving to Anaheim Stadium in 1980. They moved back to the Coliseum in 2016. After the Raiders played there from 1982-94.
@@bigpapasmurfz6252 It was the Rams moving to Anaheim and the Coliseum wanting a new tenet, that opened the door for Al Davis to bring the Raiders down from Oakland and set off the franchise free agency that would plague the NFL to this day.
Frank Corral had a bad day in this NFC title game, but one year later in the NFC championship game against the surprising Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Corral would be the scoring hero in that 9-0 Rams Super Bowl bound victory.
At 12:51 I wonder who this woman was. I remember her as sort of an honorary Rams cheerleader. I love it! Can't let things get too pretty there on the sidelines!
Over 71,000 in attendance. But yet this game was blacked out? I guess back then, the networks and advertisers were not concerned about local television revenues. I remembered how I hated home games back then.
Wasn't the networks call I guess. Back then the league was all about the gate. CBS likely took a big hit but the NFL already had its money and advertisers just had to guess wisely if they wanted to buy ad time during a Rams home game that could be blacked out.
IMAGINE..Tom Brookshire sitting next to Pat Summerall ha ha!!! Brookshire sounds like an amateur and his team lost ahh ha ha...he was always jealous of the Cowboys...and Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson is absolutely right..the Rams didn't have enough class to go to the Super Bowl. getting blown out like that..best defense in the league my ass.
Imagine if LA wins they’d played Pitts back to back yrs. Not tht it would’ve mattered the 76,77,78 Steelers were Unbelievable...I’m a Raiders Fan But What The Steelers did in ‘76 was BEYOND INCREDIBLE.!!!!

Miss the dallas blue jerseys. They used to say they were cursed when they wore them though.
That's why Rams wore white, didn't work this time
That's why they were changed to Navy in 1981 after title game loss to Eagles

Yeah home teams used to wear their away jerseys at home to force the cowboys to wear the blue. The Eagles and the Giants did that every year for a while there.
1980 horrible Giants team made Cowboys wore blue it worked 38-35 upset and title game against Eagles
Cowboys next game to The Steelers for super bowl soon.
That was my favorite Super Bowl of the time. No one really knew who was going to win until the last minute.
There was no way Dallas was losing this one after letting the regular season game get away.
27-14 Rams in week 3
think Tom Brookshire is a little biased against the Cowboy's??? jeez!!!
That fella. Too funny.
Why skip the anthem? And you don’t see Dallas in blue in the playoffs very often.
When and why did the Cowboys stop wearing those light blue pants with their road unis?
summeral and brookshier great tandom probably better than cosell and merideth, back then I watched the afc closer but always liked the cbs crews better than other networks. btw i hate the cowboys always will but i consider staubach top 6 all time qb.
They also did the weekly NFL highlight show, This Week In The NFL. I would sit in front of my crappy little t.v., and make an audio recording of the show, by holding the mic up to the speaker on the set. Then, each night, I would lie in bed and play it as I fell asleep. I agree, as much as I hated the Cowboys, Staubach was, in my opinion, the best QB of that era.
Staubach is 9 thousand times better (and classier) than that piece of shit bradshaw.
Only Championship game Cowboys won in the Royal Blue Jerseys
Jackie Smith.....erase that guy from HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at 2:19:35 Hollywood Henderson scores a TD in Hollywood.....
One of the best athletes in the game and he couldnt even dunk on the goalpost. Hard to find a LB over six feet tall 25 years old today that doesnt have enough vertical to do that
On a slam dunk that failed
Lets go get a cold one,da da da da da da da da da da,,,,,dah dah
Pat haden single handedly lost this game for the rams.
Rams were not good enough in the skilled positions.

+Andy Capalletti ran for 106 yrds against Steelers in a 10-7 Ram win. Only other runner to run for over a hundred yards against Steelers was Earl Campbell on a Monday night, Oiler 24-17 win. Only 2 games Steelers lost 1978 season.

Hi Snake.

This was football
This was the last NFC title win for Roger Staubach, Tom Landry and his regime. Been waiting 41 years to re-watch this game. Thanks for posting it!
First I’ve seen this game since it happened in January 1979. Thanks for posting. I still remember the whole room of us erupting when Hollywood Henderson ran that pass back!
Great, the cowboys won.....why watch it now..........ugh
@@sorryforthings72 They kicked the Rams' ass.
I was 11 lol
Last win in blue jerseys until vs Tampa…..
Tony Dorsett was as pure of a running back as there ever was.
Cosmoevents21st I liked it when he’d turn on the afterburner breaking a long run. The game in Minnesota, where he broke a 90 yard run....
He was more than that!! His running style was sexy, if you can say that about football.
Staubach was a class guy wasn't he?
He still is. He;s the classiest superstar QB of all time. He was Captain America for more than just his athletic skills.
IMO, he's the GOAT. and only Montana has an legit argument to be considered in the conversation.
Brady would have been crushed had he played in that era. He would have retired at 33 after getting knocked around like the QBs of Roger's time.
I was 16 years of age in '78 OMG what a great game for my cowboys, I can still remember this game, I will always treasure these cowboy wins I just wish we could've beat those dam cheeters in the super bowl, but beating LA was dope, so were the uniforms we wore that great day
Roy Gomez I wish the Cowboys would wear those uniforms again but you're right beating LA was dope.
We had the opportunity to beat the Steelrees, but that dropped TD pass was a killer..it was a bad pass, possibly catchable, but not at that speed..Roger felt bad about it, even though Jackie Smith blamed himself..it wasn't his fault, just an errant pass that the sliding catch couldn't hold onto..saved the steelers ass, lol..2022 now and there are still teams that have never won a SB..the Bills lost 4 in a row, the Vikings lost 2 in a row..
@@richardhamblen5526 ,, absolutely agree with you,,our tradition & preciseness of Dallas Cowboys football continues,,we are so desperate to win a super bowl,, I hope they deliver it to us very soon and yes we blame Jackie bcuz he was the primary receiver, but staubach admitted it was more his fault
What's with this Steelers being cheaters
@@michaelleroy9281 Probably the proliferation of Steroid use on that Steeler team, especially the Offensive line...
Charlie Waters played cornerback for his first 5 seasons after Cliff Harris beat him out for the free safety spot (Cornell Green was entrenched at strong safety.), often struggling at that position because he didn't really have the speed to handle it. There was an infamous game against the Rams in 1973 (also in the Coliseum) where Harold Jackson caught over 200 yards worth of passes on him. When Green retired in 1975, they moved Waters to SS and he was an instant star. At the time this game aired, he was the best safety in the entire league. Tragically, he blew his knee out the following preseason and missed the entire year. He came back to play 2 more years as the mentor of a young secondary (called "Charlie's Angels by some) before retiring after the 1981 season.
I think he belongs in the HOF
He wasn't the player after that knee injury If Cliff Harris got into the Hall of Fame ( 2021) so should Charlie Waters
@@scottross4374 Charlie is one of my all-time favorite Cowboys but just not enough good years to make the HOF.
He had the most interceptions post season and still holds that record I believe.
Right. I believe it’s a total of 9.
In the last 15 seconds of the broadcast you hear Tom Brookshire say to Pat Summerall, "Let's go get a cold one" and Summerall replies, "That sounds like a great idea to me". The irony is, both had alcohol problems. Brookshire sought help first and then joined Summerall's family in an intervention that led to Summerall's own success at dealing with his problem.
Oh they used to get lit back uin the day
Just think Joe Buck is the best play-by-play announcer I've ever heard. That statement encompasses a lot of great announcers. The announcers today are just fine. Many are fantastic.
Didn't know this.
This was the last victory for Roger Staubach in the playoffs.
Love those Cowboy uniforms!
Shawn Larson:👍👍🍺.
@@sedase5319 what the hell is wrong with you...
Best uniforms ever: 1976 Patriots.
I didn't like it when the Rams went from white horns helmet to yellow.
They were good looking uniforms. . But they were supposedly "unlucky" for the Cowboys.
First NFL game I ever watched; 9 years old stuck visiting elderly aunt who had cable TV, thus watched the team with the star on the helmet. Never looked back.
Mtl Vouts: Don't let anyone sway you either.😉😉.
Same here but Thanksgiving Day 1970 Cowboys vs Packers bet my brother 50 cents Cowboys would win 49 years later STILL haven't got my 50 cents been a loyal Cowboys fan ever since
Who was your elderly aunt cheering for. LOLL
It came down to the Cheerleaders for me in 1970 😂. Dallas has been my team every since
Same here!! I was 6....Cowboys fans ever since
Rip Pat summerall and Tom brookshire
Frank Glieber who commented on the sidelines died in 1985, age 51, heart attack.
they were a great combo-Summerall and Madden were the most popular duo on CBS, but Pat and Brook worked well together!
@Just think No not Frank. Very sad as he was a good announcer/analyst.
@@docpj72 great combo. Really liked Brook and Pat.
It's amazing how times have really changed. Look how almost all the fans in the stadium rooting for the Rams nowadays a game in LA, more than half the fans are rooting for the opposition.
Not sure if anyone noticed or posted about this... for you Three’s Company fans, if you look at 51:33 - 52:01, you will see a young Jenilee Harrison who was a LA Rams cheerleader at the time. She played the part of Cindy Snow, replacement for Suzanne Somers in 1980. She was also on the show Dallas in the 80’s. I always thought she was sexier than Somers or the other blonde that replaced her on that show.
Thanks for that nice nugget. When they paused it I could tell. That big smile
So much for the Cowboys' blue jersey jinx. And they always looked great in them.
Yes I really liked those jerseys they should bring them back.
well the jinx is because they are one of the few teams that wear their white jersey's at home so when they wear their blue jersey's they are on the road. As the case with any team, you're always better at home.
Till they turned the color to navy.
Was always scared when they played in blue
Fred Dyer before his "Hunter" years.
*Dryer
Best Blue Uniforms!!!!
This disproves the theory in the 1st part at least that the LA Rams fans don’t support this team. That crowd was 90 % pro LA.
Laidlaw (14th-round pick in the best draft in team history - 1975) was a total beast in the last few games of '78 after Newhouse went down.
Remember he had a monster game that year against Washington on Thanksgiving
The Dirty Dozen 1975 Cowboys draft 12 rookies made the team next best draft to the 1974 Steelers
@@michaelleroy9281 And even more than 12 might have made it -- Mike Hegman was picked in the 7th round and missed the year due to an injury. He became a starter a few years later. Then there was Jim Zorn, who had actually made the final cut before Preston Pearson became available, forcing the team to let him go. Of course, Zorn became one of the Seahawks' first stars the following season and played against the Cowboys during that expansion year.

Best Cowboy uniforms ever...bring back these blues and pants and the number style please!

I miss the 1970s
oh boy!!!! you ask ANY old Cowboy's fan about those blue jerseys and they will tell you they were cursed when they wore those "blues"!!!!! I like them too though. Try it sometime anybody who is a REAL hardcore Cowboy's fan will tell ya. was gonna say a spoiler oops.
@@mechagojira6951 Oh I lived through that jinx era, the Colts in SB 5, The Eagles in 80, Redskins in 82...but I still loved this look, great uniforms! No Jinx in this Championship game though!
Agreed loved the blue cowboy uniforms mainly because they rarely got to wear them. Tex Shram sure didn’t like them and switched colors after Eagles NFC championship win in 1980-81. Teams would switch to whites at home to force cowboys to wear the blue colors.
Forced to wear the Blue as “home” team in Super Bowl V loss to Cowboys. Not happy and in Super Bowl in 79 against Steelers got to wear white as home team.
Glenn Carano, Gina's father. He played for the Cowboys for a while.
Randy White broke his hand on Haden's helmet when he rushed Haden into Waters' 2nd pick. This came back to bite him in Super Bowl XIII when he attempted to pick up a short kickoff and dropped the ball, giving the Steelers an easy TD.
And I believe Tony dungy was the steeler who recovered Randy White's fumble on that kick-off.
It was Landry's fault that White was on the kickoff return team. He should have put someone else out there who had two good hands.
Few people remember that the manster's fumble on that short kick off was just as responsible for cowboys loss to the dispised Steelers as JACKIE SMITH dropped touchdown pass. What could have been !. The steelers owned the cowboys and they knew it.
@@dennissaunders5247 Well, Staubach owned half of that incompletion, saying that he lofted the ball in there too softly when he should have drilled it.
Greg Ford agreed!!!!
I watched this game when I was 20. It was a close game until the 4th Quarter. Pat Haden was the weak link.
mreppen1 very weak link. He is the reason this team missed the SB
Watching this game I couldn't agree with you more.
@@searchforthestrangler5034 And they kept putting him ahead of Feragamo. Ridiculous. May have been humping the owner😞😞
@@brianboyle4589 One of the best teams ever in sports that never won a championship. Those were the Los Angeles Rams of the 1970s.
I was also 20 and watched it on some sort of big screen projection tv at a bar with my girlfriend that happened to be 21 at the time. I was on cloud nine. Then later she and my cowboys broke my heart at about the same time with Super Bowl XIII and some @$#* she pulled next day. But I would trade a hundred of her if Dallas could have won that game…..
Summerall and Brookshier were always one of my favorites.
Charlie Waters made some real big plays.Randy White..the whole defense played amazing.i
Loved the Lowenbrau beer commercials at the start....loved Löwenbräu beer period. Best brew ever!!!
Indeed!
And back then, weekends were made for Micĥelob
Back then we didn't need the moving robots, excessive commercials, pyro, overbearing pregame jock commentary, and way too numerious pregame shows. We had Madden, Summerall, Enberg, Olson and the legendary MNF crew. Joe Buck no👎🏼. Tony maybe but not yet...
Don't the penalties, halfwitted sideline reporters, replays to make you dizzy and then there's the social commentary declaring that those watching the NFL are bigots while those playing are victims of discrimination and hate.
@@fridaysmith2567 Absolutely
Listen till the end...
Pat Summerall, "Lets go get a cold one Tom".
Tom Brookshire, "Sounds like a good one Pat"
Folks, those were the good days of the NFL. They ran the ball, and none of that PC junk...Man, I miss those days.
A Miller Lite or Natural Light maybe. Those beers were very popular then. Even a Schlitz Light. Veteran actor James Coburn was helping to introduce it at the time in a commercial.
Yes, unfortunate. But the good thing is his family had an intervention and he did come to Christ. It all worked for the better as in ROMANS 8 : 28.
G Davis amen!!
@@ksivad5634 And I'm glad for him. Plus I concur with you about the PC junk.
I doubt if it was just one.
I'm a Cowboys fan, and I've got to give to the Rams defense. That group from they had in 70's was just as good as the Doomsday's, Steel Curtain's, Purple Gangs, No Names, etc. The Rams passing game back then was pretty damn effective too, when it wanted to be. It seems like the 70's Rams were one break away style RB away from being a dynasty. Unfortunately by the time they got that guy it was 1983.
Rams never had a QB to make their offense go. 1974-1978 Pat Haden, James Harris, and Ron Jaworski were mediocre at best.
John Hadl was terrific in '73 but he was old and they traded him for a ton of draft picks. Ferragamo was o.k. but he only had two years 1979-80 before getting hurt.
The Rams defensive line for the last half of the 1960s was called the Fearsome Foursome.
Cowboys Jackie Smith at TE for the injured Jay Saldi. Little did we Cowboys fans know how Smith would change franchise history a few weeks after this game....
That was not an easy catch in the Superbowl
@@charleswoodhouse4754 Yep. It was a poor throw but Cowboy fans will never acknowledge that their beloved Roger Staubach could possibly be at fault.
Jackie moon your owner , power forward and general manager.
Your FLINT TROPICS.
LETS GET TROPICAL.
@@jonburrows8602 It hit him right in the bread basket . Smith dropped it and he knew it .
“Jackie Smith; he must be the sickest man in America...” so was a Cowboys Nation.
At the time, this was one of CBS All Time rated Games. The anticipation for this was through the roof. The Rams defense was BIG BOY in this game, but.... in classic Ram fashion they left their offense on the team bus. Haden was horrible and Ferragamo wasn't much better after Haden broke his thumb.It would be the Cowboys day, but they easily could have lost. This Ram team beat Pittsburgh, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Philly. I remember hoping the "Horns" would beat the Cowboys, well.....it didn't happen this day.
The Rams were the one elite NFC team that had the size on both sides of the ball to go toe to toe
with the best of the AFC, unlike my Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings, who were quick and nimble and could take advantage of a frozen Met Stadium field but got rolled over in the neutral site Super Bowl games on tuff or good grass. Had the Rams had a Fran Tarkington on their roster they would have played in multiple Super Bowls in the 70s and won at least one of them. Dallas played two great Super Bowls against the Steelers
but they got run over at the end of the day.
Rams were a QB away. Everything else was top drawer
Rams had beaten Oilers, Steelers and Cowboys. Steelers had never beaten Rams. Rams-Steelers would have been much better in Miami. Hate the Cowboys. Rams-Oilers would have been a better Superbowl in Miami.
This was the last time in a decade when the Cowboys and Vikings took turns knocking the Rams out of the playoffs. The Rams would finally get through to the Super Bowl the following year only to lose to the Steelers after a disastrous 4th quarter.
Rams defense was awesome ! there weakness especially in post season was Pat Haden!
If the Rams had a decent QB during the 70s they would have been to the Superbowl more than Dallas or Minnesota.
Mike casey i so agree. Always felt so bad for youngblood and co. Our defense was awesome but it just got worn down because we knew we had zero chance to score. Pat haden was the worst. Was way to small and had no arm strenght. So many playoff dissapointments.
@@stardaddyo9 It was criminal how badly they mismanaged the QB position during the 70's. The roster, outside of the most important position, was the best in the league. It hurts even more when you think they may have had 2 decent QB's on the team (Jaworski, Harris), only to let them go. Oh what might have been.
Roman gaberial #18 , who was dating jim neighbors aka GOMER PYLE was the first DUD. JAMES Harris #12 was the second dud. The polish rifle Ron Jaworski #16 had talent but they let him go. Then the little dude PAT HADEN #11 the so cal high school football USC hot shot and he couldn't get it done. Finally VINCE FARAGOMO #15 HE GOT THE RAMS TO THE BIG GAME BUT LOST TO PITTSBURGH. THE VIKINGS AND COWBOYS WERE NIGHTMARES FOR THE LOS ANGELES RAMS IN THE 70'S.
Turnovers killed the rams just like in the 1975 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME when a young DALLAS SQUAD CRUSHED THE RAMS 37-7.
That tackle by Randy White on Cappelletti, it's no wonder that he got up slow.
I remember watching this game on tv. I was 13 years old. What I remember about this game besides a Dallas Cowboys shutout victory were the disco song bits used as CBS went to a commercial break. Love the disco guitar riff from the song “Find My Way” by Cameo heard at the end of the 3rd qtr. & after Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson TD interception. Great memories.
Yes that was quite common in 1978-79 before commercial breaks.
Cowboys put to rest they can't win the big game & blue jerseys nonsense well they wore their blue jerseys and bomb the Rams 28 -0.
Thank you for this Virgil this is actually become a rare game hard to find anywhere on TH-cam or anywhere else!
Why isn't Harvey Martin in the Hall of Fame
I'm happy Cliff Harris is going to the HOF in 2020, but Charlie Waters had the way better stats of the 2 safeties, so logic tells me Waters should get in before Harris.

This was when the Dallas Cowboys had,CLASS!
Hollywood Henderson class? 😂😂
Tom Landry was very classy after the game...
Well according to the movie "North Dallas Forty" Landry was the biggest prick ever.
Before the NFL was ruined by fantasy football rules that increased scoring, took away defensive hits and ultimately ruined the game.
A superb display of defensive football and that same Rams's style of defensive football was displayed 40 years later in the last Super Bowl against the Patriots when they kept the Patriots from scoring for 3 quarters. Many new generation fans found that the last Super Bowl was too boring since they were accustomed to high scoring games. I didn't find it boring since I have been exposed to defensive and offensive football.
I really wish I would have watched these games back in the '70s they were great games, real football.I did not start watching Football until 1982. The first one I watched was the year of the strike when the New York Jets played the Miami dolphins at Shea Stadium in the dolphins destroyed the Jets. The first Super Bowl I watched was the Washington Redskins and the Miami dolphins I was rooting for the dolphins and Washington had heart and beat the dolphins in Super Bowl 17. I was just a kid at the time living in Staten Island New York didn't know anything about football at the time.
Bring back the blue jerseys please.
The next year the Rams ended their Cowboys jinx in the playoffs 21-19 upset at Texas Stadium
Frank Glieber, who provided sideline commentary for this game, was a great announcer. He did Cowboys broadcasts for much of his career, first as the radio voice of the team and then with CBS. He also called many NBA broadcasts. Tragically, he died of a heart attack at age 51, just after the 1985 draft. I loved his style.
Love some ol school 70 n 80s football. I enjoy seeing the offensive play calling and formarions.
When Landry stopped coaching I ceased to b a Cowboy fan-everything I admired about the Cowboys left when he did-especially when they hired flat-top and his win at all costs attitude
Me too. Never liked Jerry Jones. No class.
Randy white should have played middle linebacker
anyone who was around back then will know what "Dallas" meant. It can't be copied today. It was as close to a national team as you can get. And i am not a Cowboys fan. But whenever you heard the word Dallas in the fall it was a very big deal.
cinnaminson 06: Don't HAVE to be a Cowboys' fan to appreciate it either.
I'm an NYG fan so Dallas is a division rival.What was amazing was how big they were all over the country. The Patriots have never been even 1/10 as popular as Dallas was.
I know just what you are talking about. I grew up in Minneapolis and I was 11 when this game was played so I watched the tremendous Vikings teams of that era. But my Grandpa was so stoked for
the Cowboys and nobody better get in front of the TV during Thanksgiving when they played in those days.
Remember this game like yesterday because finally had NFC championship at home. Nothing was more frustrating than being a Rams fan from 73-80. This was not the best team of that period. 73 and 75 were better. But Rams at home could have done better. Haden was terrible and its a shame LA gave up on both James Harris and Jaws, both of which would have taken LA to more Super Bowls imo.
randomhuman19 weren’t the rams at home in 75’ when Dallas crushed them 37-7?? I could be wrong

Over 71,000 in attendance. But yet this game was blacked out? I guess back then, the networks and advertisers were not concerned about local television revenues. I remembered how I hated home games back then.
Wow, I can’t believe that!
Wasn't the networks call I guess. Back then the league was all about the gate. CBS likely took
a big hit but the NFL already had its money and advertisers just had to guess wisely if they
wanted to buy ad time during a Rams home game that could be blacked out.
Right now the NFL is not using the Blacked out rules after the FCC tell them to stop it
