I was in 6th grade at the time. I remember watching this show. More important though is that I thank you for posting this video brings back great memories.
1st grade for me; so I don't remember this particular show. However, I remember my Raiders always won back then - until the AFC Championship game - where Pittsburgh or Miami would knock em off. But the league was so great back then. And the games were so much more important because you didn't have any way to see them again, except for MAYBE a few highlights in shows like this. Just the best.
When my mom was still living, she told me years later that TWIPF came on in the DC area either on WTOP-TV (now WUSA) or WDCA on Saturday nights. This week in Pro Football was the only way you caught up on the rest of the NFL prior to what we have today.
It's hard to believe that it will have been been 50 years this coming Thanksgiving Day of 2024 since back up Dallas Cowboy quarterback, Clint Longley threw that game winning touchdown pass to Drew Peasron in Texas Stadium on Thanksgiving Day of 1974 to help the Dallas Cowboys beat their hated archrivals, the Washington Redskins 24-23 after Cowboy quarterback Roger Staubach was injured and knocked out of the game. One of the the Cowboys' offensive lineman called Clint Longley's performance the "triumph of an uncluttered mind'.I wonder what ever became of Clint Longley. His career came to such an inglorious end at the 1976 Cowboy training camp.
"Ken Brown, number MUD in your program" - Tom Brookshier at 38:44. You don't see mud games in the NFL anymore these days with the way grass fields drain and synthetic turf
I was a big Rams fan back then...but enjoyed watching the St. Louis Cardinals as well aka the Cardiac Kids with Jim Hart and Terry Metcalf scoring machine.

Jim Plunkett who had a horrible start with the New England Patriots facing the Oakland Raiders the team he would eventually win a Superbowl with 7 years later....
Which one??…Oakland, Los Angeles or Vegas?! Ohhhh SNAP mothafucka!! 🤣🤣 But on a serious note…when no one wants you and you survive year to year eating trash out of the dumpster…you should start making plans to retire the team…permanently.
This is watching REAL FOOTBALL, compared to today's no contact, scripted games. Those announcers sound like real people back then as opposed to those clowns the nfl got today.. You don't see as many uprights being hit on FG or extra point tries. I miss these days.

I would rather watch these old clips than today's garbage NFL
Today's games are scripted and there isn't much physical contact going on. I rather watch these highlights too.
Exactly!
I second that emotion!
@@mikehunt8997And those two guys, they were great together. Real professionals.
I totally agree. I was 14 when these games were played.

I still love the NFL, but you had to be alive back then and live through this to know just how great football was in the 70s, and into the 80s.
I was 15 and playing midgits Little League, basketball all sports. These were the days. So many memories. ❤❤
These shows ran on Saturday nights at 7:00 PM on WPIX-TV, Channel 11, New York

I use to watch them all the time if I wasn't hanging out with company, when I lived in NY. .
Yep!
Loved watching this show growing up in the 70s.

He got in a fistfight with Staubach and that was the end of his Cowboy career
@@bucksdiaryfan are you shitting me?…who would fight Captain America that doesn’t make sense. 😌
I DO remember Clint Longley’s bomb to Drew Pearson. We were at my Grandma’s in Columbus, Wisconsin
So do I. I grew up just south of DC. My family was across the street at my friend's house that night. It ruined the evening.
You are so right 50years living in Nashville tn watching this game at my grandparents house never will forget thanks for the memories

I remember Clint Longley game. Only the Starland Vocal Band is a bigger one-hit wonder.
Still remember when Longley sucker punched Staubach in practice...needless to say he was gone.
The music!! 🎶
0:05 ...Holy fucking shit, the ref has a GUN? I know it's a starter's pistol, but it's still a hell of an image.
The players stayed in line.
Back when the game was real old school people that knows anything at all about football will know exactly what I mean
Even back in 1974 The Philadelphia eagles were doing touchdown celebrations...
They didn't do many of them that year. Had to wait for Dick Vermeil to show up for it to be more common.
The year of the Steelers.
Absolutely!!! The beginning of one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history...
I watched this as an 11-year old in 1974.
Archie Manning spent his whole career running for his life 😅😂😅
Tom Brady wouldn't have made it six seasons back in this era
The only thing Longley completed after this game was a sucker punch on Staubach. He was sent to San Diego I believe.
Right on.True
A Rog completed a pass to him wit a barbell
Gameplan for Sudden Death = Best Song Ever!!!
17:53 The very last play of Heisman winner and 1st round pick Steve Owens' lackluster career
In the last football game at Tiger Stadium

Dallas had no breakaway running game in 1974.
Just think, 50 years. Plus, the Cowboys will face the Redskins (now the Commanders) on Thanksgiving Day!!!
They should still be the Redskins!
@1223jamwe no they shouldnt
I was a young junior high kid watching this Pat summerhal Was The best
Pretty sure the cowboys missed the playoffs in 74
Sam “The Ban” Cunningham.
I was just born.
Who cares
Watch that fame.
Go RAIDERS!!!!!
Which one??…Oakland, Los Angeles or Vegas?! Ohhhh SNAP mothafucka!! 🤣🤣
But on a serious note…when no one wants you and you survive year to year eating trash out of the dumpster…you should start making plans to retire the team…permanently.
