  • Staubach leads Cowboys over Washington 1979 Season Finale
    Maybe the greatest Cowboys comeback ever? Roger Staubach leads the cowboys on the game winning drive with a TD to Tony Hill. Larry Cole made an incredible tackle on John Riggins to get the ball back and then Roger did his thing.
    One of the great games in cowboys history and one of the best in the cowboys Washington rivalry. Harvey Martin through the funeral wreath in the Washington locker room after the game!

    Most people forget about Staubach having to do 4 years in the navy after college. Then because of Landry's biggest career blunder he sits behind Morton for 2 years. Just watch his incredible comeback vs Vikings in '75 under those field conditions and you will see his greatness on display. He's the only Heisman winning QB to ever win 2 NFL championships and lead the league in passer rating more than once. He's the greatest combined college and pro football player of all-time.

Anxious to get to on the school bus the next day to talk big shit abt my ‘Boys…the names of the greats: Summerall, Brookshier, Landry, Staubach, Hill, Pearson, Pearson, Newhouse, Springs, Martin, White, White, Cliff Harris, Charlie Waters, Cole, soooo many greats. Lately it’s been mad hard to watch them but I’ll always ride with my Cowboys…always. Thank you for sharing this. Makes me think fondly of my wonderful mother and brother and my childhood home in NC.

I would say that 60% of the crowd had left but we stayed. Our upper deck seats were right above Tony Hill's TD catch. What a game. The Dodger at his best..

    I was at this game. The stadium emptied out (mostly) when the Redskins went up by 13 late in the game. My friend and I moved from out seats down to emptied, perfect seats on the 50 yard line right at the level of TV cameras. We saw the miracle unfold from those seats, the only time in all the Texas Stadium games we attended that we sat in seats of that high quality. It was my second best live sporting event experience. The first was Nolan Ryan's 9th (?) no-hitter, which I watched from George W. Bush's seats on the first row behind the batters' box. Some may think I am making this up, and I don't blame them. Both experiences where almost too good to be real.

      That’s so cool! I remember my dad’s company got tickets to a Cowboys game and the 4 adults (parents, dads partner and wife) sat on the 50 yard line while the kids (me, brother, and partner’s two boys) sat in some nosebleeds. we were down two scores with just under three minutes left. Most people left but we stayed and the adults missed the comeback by Staubach. I wanna say I was about 9 or 10 years old but I wish I could remember who we were playing. To us it felt like we had won the super bowl. It was soooo exciting. Seeing a comeback live is so amazing! And we enjoyed rubbing it in to the parents who missed it and were waiting in the parking lot for us...(lol never so thankful for pre-cell phone era!!!) Most likely was 1979-1981ish. For some reason, 2:53 sticks in my brain, as in we needed two scores with 2:53 left in the game. My brother was also at Ryan’s no-hitter. He has since passed away but he would still talk about it being one of the greatest highlights of his life. I also think he would remember the Cowboys game we saw since he was three years older... bittersweet to think about because he loved the Cowboys and Rangers so, so much! 😀☹️ good times.

      I know the conventional wisdom is that Roger retired after his best season, statistically, because of multiple concussions, and future health concerns. Wrong. Staubach wanted more control over calling plays on the field. Like Terry Bradshaw had. But Landry wouldn't budge. So Roger bowed out. Just imagine the statline if he didn't serve a 4 year commitment to the Navy before taking an NFL snap, and if Landry had let him call a few plays for a couple years into the '80s. Tom Terrific might still be chasing the true GOAT.

      aktxag I watched a recent interview with Staubach were he talked about why he had to make the decision to retire early. His doctor had told him one more concussion could really hurt his brain permanently. I’m glad that didn’t happen but was also heartbroken like you that he wasn’t going to be our quarterback anymore.

    I was a second year Middle linebacker #58 for Washington on that day. Coming in to the game we knew if we won we were the Eastern Division champs, if we lost we had a 40 net point advantage in the tie breaker with Chicago if they were to beat St. Louis . Because this was a late game for TV, we learned that Chicago had beaten St. Louis by 42 points, I think, so we knew we had to win to get in to the playoffs. We were in control of the game at half so it didn't bother us. I have never experienced a loss that hurt so much as that one. I was physically sick when we walked off the field. One of my best friends that I played with at WSU was a starting corner for St. Louis, I gave him all sorts of hell for giving up in their last game with Chicago. With the way Riggins and Theisman were playing and the way we as a team were playing I believe if we had gotten past Dallas on that day that we would have taken it all the way to the Super Bowl. This is the first time I have seen a video of this game.

      You bet. Redskin player and former Cowboy Coy Bacon called Martin “a big old turkey” for doing it and that’s when Martin apologized.
      Funny that the two of them were in the news at the same time, because Bacon set an NFL record for sacks with 21 1/2 of them in 1976 and Martin topped him in 1977 with 23, both of them in just 14 games! The league refuses to accept sack totals from that era as official, so the recognized record of 22 1/2 (in 16 games) is a fraud.

    As a lifelong Redskins fan this one hurt. I was 12. I despised these Cowboys but I had a lot of respect for Roger Staubach. Little did we know this would be his last regular season game and the next to last game of his great career. At the time us Redskins fan were devastated but there was a silver lining to what happened. That loss triggered a lot of things that benefited us going forward. Riggins retired, the team went 6-10 the next season (1980) and Jack Pardee was fired. The Redskins then hired a relatively unknown coach by the name of Joe Gibbs. Riggins returned and in 1982 we got our revenge on the Cowboys by beating them in the NFC Championship Game and went on to win our 1st of 3 Super Bowls. We went on to basically dominate the Cowboys the rest of the decade just like they had dominated us in the 60’s and the majority of the 70’s.
