After completing a good play, the player just walks back to the huddle. No stupid celebration dance that draws all the attention. These were men
I love these old games with zero show boating going on. Real men I tell you
Man, these old games are great!! I admit that I've been spoiled by the "real time" ticker in modern sports. Other than that, I could watch these old games all day long!!
I’m with you on that. Football today is nothing like it was in these days. I think one of the big turning points was when they began demolishing all the old dual purpose stadiums. It was especially a bummer to see Three Rivers Stadium go.
I remember being home in leave in 2002 from Fort Bragg, and going to see Les Claypool at Station Square. Across the river, you could see Three Rivers stadium being rigged to demolish. I was so pissed seeing that
The old stadiums gave the game nostalgia of its own. I always ,over seeing the dirt baseball infields on the football fields early in the season, like in Cleveland, Anaheim stadium, metropolitan stadium in Minnesota, County stin Milwaukee… so many more
The 1970s were the golden era for my generation im 56 really miss the 70s
Loved the Steelers as a kid n still love the Steelers now
A year or two after this game and Staubach had retired, the Steelers and Cowboys were getting ready to play. L.C. Greenwood was warming up when from the stands he heard Staubach say, "L.C.! My kids hate you!" Greenwood said he looked up, surprised, and said, "Kids, tell your dad he's about 50 years old. It was time to hang it up!"
Very true story
Staubach retired at the end of this season, probably about 4 or 5 months after this game
Staubach had the last laugh..he's worth $600-mil with real estate deals
@@handsome-brute2666 Bradshaw's doing alright. He's a millionaire who is still prominent as a highly successful broadcaster. Roger was terrible as a broadcaster and only lasted one season.
The next time they played each other was the 1982 season when Pittsburgh won once again 36-28. Is that where this exchange occurred?
Love the old games. Helps me forget how bad we are today, the Steelers that is - YUCK.😢
This was essentially the final game with the classic Steeler/Cowboy teams. They didn't meet in the post-season, this was Staubach's last season, as it was the classic Steeler team's last SB year.
harris gutted them out again.just like 77
The Steelers won Super Bowl X and XIII. The Steelers beat the Cowboys in 1977 and 1979 regular season matchups.
I am a big john madden and oakland raiders fan but I tell you that if franco and rocky would have played in 1976 afc title the steelers would have won and then won superbowl 11. The steelers were just too good for the cowboys.
That's a good point, simply because a football fan who knew
about the Steelers was looking at the fact that it became one
dimensional. Zero running game left the Raiders knowing what
Pittsburgh had to do. And that was to throw the football. No
running game makes it harder to open up the passing game.
Edge clearly goes to Oakland in this game. Not taking anything
away from the Raiders. They beat a lot of good teams that
year, and the Vikings could give any defense trouble. I always
agreed with the Raiders linebacker who said he wanted to beat
Pittsburgh when they were at their best. The rivalry compelled
both teams to play their best game.
They played the Vikings in Super Bowl 11
I was a Steeler fan, but their advantage was minimal. In Super Bowl 13, Dallas had a wide open receiver drop a td pass that was right in his hands...so they took a field goal...the differential in points went from the 7 they would have had to 3...and those 4 points were the difference in the game...If Pittsburgh was THAT much better, they wouldn't have had to rely on such a fluke play to win. Those Dallas-Pittsburgh Super Bowls from the 70's were among the best ever played, and they both came down to a play or two here or there...
@@tomodonovan5931 I miss the days when the game had a measuring stick. In the 70's, if you beat Pittsburgh, or Dallas, or Oakland....or even Miami, in the first half of the decade...that was an achievement. Same in the 80's with Washington, or New York, or San Francisco...Today, the league is just a bunch of mediocre teams, and somebody usually gets hot around Thanksgiving....
@@tgriffin3059
Steelers we’re up big in the 4th quarter before dallas closed the gap late in the 4th qr. the game gets played out totally different if Jackie smith catches that td pass. Dallas on side kicked and got the ball and scored their last TD.
I doubt that scenario happens in a closer game
Dirt Winston should have made the Pro Bowl for this game alone lol
Always felt like the Super Bowl when Pitt played Dallas. Still does...be it the actual Super Bowl or week 8. Something about Dallas/Pittsburgh just feels like the bigtime...the nation is watching
Thanks for posting this. For some reason, this game always gets taken down from RUclips. Fingers crossed it stays!
Agreed ,this and the 78 conference championship game between Steelers and oilers always gets taken out
Thanks @Sports ! for posting this ... I missed the entire '79 season because I was deployed to the mid east. If you have any more Steeler games from that year, It would be appreciated💯
Thank you for your service!!!
Thank you for your service.
Mcmillen and Wife Steelers site has the whole season.
Thanks for posting this
Pat and Tom were great
It's bizarre, that this is a super bowl rematch, between the two best teams in football, and it's 1 o'clock, non national TV game
I bet CBS wouldn't let this game get away from them!
@@jaydaire139In 1979 there was no flex schedule. So CBS at this point had nothing to worry about.
FYI as a reminder CBS had the NFC rights and NBC the AFC in 1979. ABC pre ESPN had Monday Night Football. And Fox Tv(started in early 1987) did not exist at time of this game.
No way over 4 decades later in 2023/24 this is a 1pm(ET) Sunday Afternoon game. It would have been on either Thanksgiving, Sunday Night or Monday Night coast to coast.
All of the Summerall-Brookshier games were national
Sundays were for God, back then,No matter how fake he is. The NFL is your new Messiah now. Lmmfao 🏈✝️🙏🎉😂😅😂😂🤣😛😜🤪🥳
Thank you for uploading this game, I was 10 and my step dad introduced me to Steelers and the greatest sport of football. Your channel is my Time Machine to the legends of the Steelers franchise ever to play the game, as well as the Cowboys(Booooo!!!) Subscribed🍻
Funny how little these guys celebrate. Even after a sack, they are calm.
Homecoming for tony dorset @ Pittsburgh since he play Collage for pitt / Pittsburgh had Cowboys 🤠 number yup
steelers physically pounded them. roger the dodger got ROCKED
Just some more facts that faced steelers in 1976 afc title against raiders, franco and rocky were out plus a third back frenchy was hurt some and played some in the game. Plus there very accurate place kicker gerela was hurt and they had a backup center who kicked for the steelers in the game instead. No doubt if Terry would have had franco and rocky 2 clutch performers and gerela in the game to kick field goals the steelers would have crushed oakland. One week before when they were healthy and had franco and rocky playing they demolished a strong colts team that alot of people said were the best afc team in the playoffs.
Amazing how much more modern football appears in 1979 than say 1974 (first super Steelers campaign).
How is that?
Steelers had switched to black face guards - a sleeker, sharper look.
Part of that was the growth of the artificial turf stadiums, which made the action faster. Another aspect is the quickly improving quality of the TV broadcasts, better sound, more camera angles, etc. So the presentation is much smoother here than just a few years before.
1:23:04 Good run Dorsett
1:39:13 Nice Big Play to John Stallworth one of My favorite Recievers after Swann
1:27:40 Hillarious Bradshaw interview about Too Tall Jones 😂
1:28:10 Classic Franco Harris Td 48 yrds
The move he puts on Cliff Harris !!
Thanks for sharing this. The one thing I noticed, with no instant replay, the referees was better in 1979 than they are today.
Until the AFC championship game.
And I am a Steelers fan.
@@natureboy1313Renfro non TD call is the most overrated moment in NFL history .One ,it only would have tied a contest in the 3 qtr ,it was on second down ,the oilers still.had 3 rd down to convert a first down or td ,failed at both ,and the oilers still.had portion.of 3 rd and whole 4th qtr to defeat steelers who scored the games final 10 points ,holding the oilers scoreless ..Oilers QB and headcoach both admitted afterwards the renfro controversial non td call.didnt decide the game ,that Steelers were simply better . There's also a above footage replay of the renfro play which clearly shows him subtly bobble ball while cascading out of bounds ,in a quick decision for ref situation.in which he has to make a judgement decision ,which when context is applied wasn't the abomination bad call that its percieved to be . The Steelers in similar circumstances vs raiders in 74 AFC title game were actually robbed of a TD when Stalworth made a one handed two feet toe tap grab ,they didn't become so distracted that they fell apart ,they proceeded to win the game . A Steelers team who were three time SB champs .with 5 hofers on both sides of ball,Hof headcoach ,at home in the AFC championship vs a oilers team who in two consecutive post season games hadn't scored a single offensive TD weren't going to lose against the oilers ,even if Renfro was awarded his TD ,and the final.score would have been by double digits .
You def know your Steelers 70's football. Those were some great games. The playoffs were often better than the SB.
My favorite broadcast team. Thanks for posting.
Pat and Brookie were def hammered this game.
Ha!
Man, get out of here. How can you even tell.
Summeral sounds like he's in his prime, I doubt he was drunk.
@@jaydaire139Maybe not this game. However in that Steelers/Rams Super Bowl a few months later in early 1980, you can tell on that video Pat & Tom was drunk. And this Brookshire/Summerall team while not on the level as Pat and John was still a NFL Hall of Fame Broadcast crew on its own when sober.
The ‘70’s Cowboys were never able to beat Pittsburgh, regular season or in the Super Bowl. I remember watching a MNF game in 1982 where the Steelers went into Dallas and won. Cowboys always came up short 😂
until the 90s
Tomlin needs to watch this to see how bad he ruined this once great dynasty
Pure racist comment.
@@areguapiri Never hire a black man to do a white man's job hehe.
This is really good quality footage for 1979. It’s almost like watching the Steelers of the 90s, only during a much better period in history, I think
Butch Johnson dropped a sure touchdown pass right in his hands at 45:10 !!
This is the game where LC Greenwood knocks out Roger Staubach right?
Yes at 1:42:50
Awesome pick!
These players now couldn't play with these guys. They'd quit
That block by DuPree on Thomas at 1:34:00
“Dirt” Winston had a wicked block also and was hitting everything that moved.
What the hell is that sound in the background sounds like a C130 that never lands.
The Steelers were the Cowboys’ Daddy during these years. They had just whipped Dallas in the SB the previous season.
Shittsburgh was the team of the 70s, so they were everyone's daddy. Dallas was the 2nd best team in the 70s though, which is still impressive.
@@SoundOfWhiteNoise1 Unfortunately, second best doesn’t mean shit in the NFL, and the Cowgirls were never happy with second best, especially after the kind of money they were spending compared to every other team!
@@LionZebra see, that's where you're WRONG! Being 2nd best in the 70s got the cowboys two super bowl wins. Then, they would become the team of the 90s. No other team can claim dominance of 2 decades besides the cheatriots.
@@SoundOfWhiteNoise1 lol 😂… Dominance? No I think that belongs to the Steelers and the 49ers, and later the Patriots. Plus, like I said, those teams spent a fraction of the money the Cowgirls did. And then it’s been dry shutout for the last three decades. How many playoff wins since mid 1990s?
@@LionZebra Yes, dominance. Hate 'em all you want, they hold the record for most consecutive winning seasons. They're in the top 5 of all-time play-off wins and are 2nd in SB wins. I'd say that's pretty dominant... EVEN WITH minimal recent play-off success. ...Not to mention, their dominance in the 90s would have reigned supreme if it wasn't for the salary cap introduction (since you insist on bringing up $$).
A lot of guys that played in this game are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
This was the game that was hyped by Sports Illustrated as "Super Bowl XIII 1/2."
“The Dallas Cowboys are in town with their dynamic organization against the thunderous Pittsburgh Steelers”
Now that’s an introduction
yup.. and no lies detected either.
1:11:33 to 1:11:55 hardly any of the running backs mentioned really had a long, fruitful career.
0:40 was also surprised to find out that they’re nearly the same age:
Pat Summerall, May 10, 1930 - April 16, 2013
Tom Brookshire, December 16, 1931 - January 29, 2010
Do you happen to know the name of the music playing in the beginning?
I remember this game very well.....my team wasn't to interested in playing the Steelers.....
The Swann Song of these teams
Most of the hits on the QBs would be called roughing the passer today.
True. I miss football.
51:25 - The whole swarm of the Steel Curtain coming at the great Roger Staubach. NFL porn.
Brookshire was right. The defensive line of the Steelers in 79 was aging and washed up. They never addressed it in the draft. Mark Gastineau was available in the 79 draft but the Steelers took an athlete playing football in Greg Hawthorne.
Yea i remember that bust, along with Walter Abercrombie. The dark yrs of the 80's Steelers.
This was the game where three UFO's appeared over Three Rivers Stadium (They were most likely rotor kites).
And the steelers whoop Dallas!! AGAIN
1:42:55 if there’s was a moment that pushed Roger to retirement, this was it. A hellacious shot.
Sadly the UFO sighting is cut off at 55 seconds left in the 4th quarter
The new Sunday Ticket
Nice picture and the cowboys just couldn't beat the Steelers
For all the respect that Landry gets, and he did come up with some innovations, he couldn't come up with a game plan to beat Chuck Noll. You'd think that Noll would get a little more respect for always having game plans that stoped Dallas.
@thegrinch7989 Coaching can only go so far. Regardless of the game plan, they can neither pass, run, block, or tackle. Ultimately, it's the players that have to perform !!
STEELERS MAKE IT TOUGH by APOLOGETIX a great football song
Im sure I watched this game but don't remember it. The one thing I'm sure of that I had a nervous anxiety going on in the beginning. There was a few teams steelers played that just got that feeling going and Dallas would of been one of them.
Thanks this is real football here, knocked on your Butt get up dont look for no flag
Look at Pat all Young and Spry
If you look at the 👀 large scoreboard at 16:45..it says call your answering service to someone in the stands... amazing how far where come🤔 from 79 to iPhones 📱🤳
Imagine Steelers defense if Joe Greene had full use of both arms from 75 season onwards... He literally was playing with one arm tied behind his back.
👍💯
Charles Grodin watching the game from the end zone first TD drive.
24:33 Lambert.. lol
steelers beat cowboys 21-17 in 1975, 28-13 in 1977, 35-31 in 1978, 14-3 in 1979 and 36-28 in 1982....steelers all the way....cowboys were great team but couldnt beat pittsburgh
until the 90s came around
1:33:46 FLAG leading with the head..
Wow ! Thank Mean Joe Greene !
Came here for the UFO. And to imagine my dad watching this..
Notice how the defenders help the runner/receiver/QB up at the end of most plays? These days, they kick them, step on them, spit on them.. . .SMH.
I think it was in 1982 or 83' but Sydney Thronton was really fumbling a LOT and a reporter said something like "aren't you worried about your job"? and Thornton said "who else are they gonna put in"? The next week a guy named Frank Pollard started from then on out. Thornton never started another game. Chuck Noll did NOT take that kind of sh!t. Very "Old School".
did staubach ever beat bradshaw?
No absolutely not!!
Not on the field. But he is worth about 40 times as much. Staubach did extremely well in real estate.
@nbradshaw has done quite well financially in his life regardless .atureboy1313
32:58 TD and no posing for pics and no dancing. hmmm
For all the glory Roger Staubach received, he NEVER beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. Big hit on number 12. I swear I saw five yellow tweety birds circling Staubach's helmet and a slide whistle .. lol
Man that Steel Curtain D was something else.
preston pearson...knocked out.... lol...enjoy...(we all loved it)
CBS
Isn’t this staubachs last game?
No - a loss to the Rams in the playoffs was his last game.
I'm sure Roger was black and blue 🔵 after this game🤔
The Pittsburgh defense was the only thorn in Roger's career. He could never decipher that defense and was never able to win against the Steelers in 4 attempts in his career.
They remeet again in regular season play from 2,3 super bowls
larry cole. wow. what a headhunter. outside of ben davidson, or ike lassiter,dirtiest player ever
When football was football minus the fake outrage, the phony BS. It’s not even called Three Rivers anymore. Smfh !
Three Rivers Stadium was imploded in spring of 1999 or 2000 as Heinz Field was nearing completion. I was next door wiring the HVAC controls (IBEW) at PNC Park. BTW there are Terrible Towels buried under Heinz Field and PNC Park.
@@misterwirez7731 - That’s cool 😎
I’ve been a Steelers fan my whole life despite growing up in Long Island. There was a few years I actually stopped watching it though because I got fed up with the nonsense. Just play football you know what I mean? They get paid too much as it is imo so shut up, play football and lose the victim mentality. Just my opinion.
Pittsburgh was all Alpha Male Males which made them play with the intensity..as was Oakland
1:32:46 FLAG. lmao...
#kroger
germans are saints
Danny white is another dake. Average q.b. But no championship blood.
Danny White got to the NFC Championship multiple times
But no Rings however I don’t think he’s to blame the boys just didn’t get it done
Tom Brookshier was the worst color guy ever. Ridiculous nonsensical commentary..."They looked like bumper cars at the amusement parade". WTH?!?
The stealers,started the steroids revolution!
Wrong ,Google Steelers steroids and misconceptions which will eliminate the false narrative of the Steelers introducing or having a team full of steroids users
