Going way back to the 1970s, the first-ever meeting between the Cowboys and Raiders. Roger Staubach duels Ken Stabler in a close one in the '74 season finale.
Historic game in many facets. The only matchup of Madden vs. Landry, Blanda's last touchdown pass, the first ever meeting between the Cowboys and Raiders, and the only Stabler vs. Staubach matchup. What a game!
I miss those days and games such as this. They are classic. And George Blanda on his FIRST offensive play (not counting field goals) throws a TD pass. Man, it don't get better than that.
I watched this game from my Grandparents house in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. I spent the weekend there and was fired up for this matchup as an 8 year old. Since it was a weekend, I was allowed to stay up and watch the whole game. Staubach vs Stabler. Landry vs Madden. George Blanda playing QB. I didn't realize how lucky I was to witness all of this. "Oh what a night...."
Gifford predicts the Steelers to win the SB before the playoffs begin during the halftime show. Wow! No one I knew back then thought anyone outside of Oakland and Miami had any shot. My respect for the late, great Giff just shot through the roof. I was in the Army and unable to see so many of these games back then. Thank you Homer Simpson, these memories are precious.
To see 47 year old George Blanda throw a TD on his very first play in the game at QB was in words I cannot say. Unbelievable---but not surprising at all.
This gets infinity likes for Marvin Gaye singing the National Anthem alone. I mean my God, that entire stadium was in silence while he sang. Everyone was in awe of this incredible entertainer singing the Anthem as only he can. I had goosebumps watching it.
As a Gen Z, I really love coming to youtube to watch these older games. NFL is so much different here than it is now and I love it! NFL today is soft, this is where it's at. On a side note, I love finding these older games that may include ads/commercials from the time period these games were played. It's fun watching the older products or the way commercials were made then.

For me, the 70's and 80's really were the golden age of the NFL, things started getting corporate and cold in the 90's and was the beginning of the end.

The NFL would be wise to allow the purchase of these old games. I could watch the 70's and 80's seasons for the rest of my life and not even care about what is happening in the NFL.......it's a shame we just couldn't sort of stop time right here.

Thanks for the upload, it’s great to watch the old school NFL games. I wanted to swat my tv like back in the day to get better reception then I remembered I’m watching RUclips on my tablet.
This Game has some Historic Value. Hard to believe, but this was the first time ever that these two Great Franchises Actually played against each other in a regular season game. I personally appreciate the Upload.
I've been a Cowboys fan since the 70s. Also, always liked the Raiders (off. became a Raider fan in the 90s). Not sure if I'd have liked to see them play each other more or less (l.o.l.)
They actually would have met in 77' when both made their respective conference championship games. It was Denver's first superbowl appearance. The Raiders got jobbed in that game worse than the immaculate reception and the tuck game. Denver had the ball at about the 3 yard line and Rob Lytle tried to go over the top and was hit by Tatum and fumbled in mid air, the Raiders recovered but the officials ruled him down. Denver won 17-14. The Raiders had an opportunity to repeat but were denied. Check out the Raiders/bronco's AFC Championship game in 77'. Back then 1 play really did determine the outcome of games because the teams were all very good.
@@chrisuncleahmad oh yeah, SB 40 in Detroit and he books the Rolling Stones for the halftime show; thought "Motown" was out of NYC? There's an indictment the American educational system.
Thanks so much for this. I can't even watch the football of today- it's all offense on ez mode. It's good to see the game I grew up watching with my pops.
it's sad these two powerhouses never squared off in January.. both these organizations had the most wins the first quarter century of the SB era...Raiders had the most wins, followed by Dallas.. but can you guess who had the 3rd most wins the first 25 years of the SB era...? you might already know, but if not, I'll fill you in...it was the Los Angeles Rams...yup, you heard me correct..
There were a few other games where it happened. The first game of the '72 season, they all played against Pittsburgh in the game at Pittsburgh. The NFL Films game of the week video is up at RUclips.
i am really gracious the cowboys and steelers have met 3 times in the super bowl. i didn't get to see the first one because i was too busy watching my cartoons or playing cowboys and indians outside. as far as the cowboys and raiders, i feel like i was robbed that staubach and stabler didn't meet in the super bowl. i agree, that would've been the best SB ever.
Indeed. Came close a few times when either would lose a conference championship game. Had two memorably exciting regular season games in 1980 and 1983, though that was after Staubach and Stabler had retired/gone to other teams. It was Danny White vs. Jim Plunkett.
Kingfish4242, I totally agree, I always said SB XII should have been Raiders-Cowboys, That had the makings of a great game, With the Raiders being defending champions and that great team Dallas had it would have been awesome!
Here is something interesting from 1967 to 1981 the cowboys and raiders played in about ten conference title games and never met in the super bowl.Man what are the chances of that happening!!
Take your pick of when you wanted them to meet. I think the most famous and missed opportunity was Super Bowl 12. Maybe Super Bowl 2 and would have been a good clash. Super Bowl 10 would also be great but it's the same players as 12.
Great game, I don't think the Raiders needed this one but played hard and sustained some injuries before going into the playoffs. Not many teams do it like that anymore unless they need to win.
Two great franchises,Dallas would return the favour against Oak land in 1980 beating them 19-13.what a game that was as well ...these two teams are 6-6 all time with Dallas beating Oakland this past season to tie the all time record...
thank you for posting the older games. it's important that these games get viewed so that we can see this part of history unfold as opposed to simply seeing the game stats on a page.
I was 11 years old and missed this game because I didn't realize ABC was showing a Saturday night game. It was ABC's first NFL game on a Saturday night, their first Week 14 game, and their final game with the original Monday Night Football theme music [edit: they kept the original theme through 1975]. As noted, it also was the first meeting between the Cowboys and Raiders. Before kickoff, these were the only two remaining NFL teams that had never met in the regular season. ABC aired only 13 games from 1970-1973, on Monday nights from Weeks 1-13. They aired Saturday night games in Week 14 from 1974-1977. In 1978, the NFL season expanded to 16 games, and ABC's schedule ballooned from 14 to 20 games -- 16 MNF games (including the first Monday night season finale), plus one on Thursday night and 3 on Sunday night (they flipped to 3 Thursday and one Sunday game in 1979). The NFL didn't have Monday night finales before 1978 because the playoffs opened the following Saturday in those years, but in 1978 an extra wild card game was added in each conference, usually played as a Sunday doubleheader.
As someone who grew up in today's NFL, you always hear about these greats. The unbelievable legend of Landry and America's Team. The enigma that is the Oakland Raiders. I have become a big fan of Ken Stabler, (mostly started because he was a left-handed quarterback) but I really do think he personifies what the Raiders were about. So it is really cool to actually see a game where they played and might have not been the legends they are today. I definitely appreciate this upload, just to see what these great franchises were like in their most known glory days.
We are spoiled with the technology we have today. The strategy techniques have changed somewhat, both admirable of today and yesteryear. What I appreciate is less rules and regulations and less politics.
yup...and both these organizations had the most wins in football the first 25 years of the super bowl era, yet ironically never played each other in January..but can you name the 3rd organization with the most wins the first 25 years of the SB era..? don't research it, just go off the top of your head..
Dallas legends (Hayes and Lily) are retiring. Rebuilding with young talent (Pearson, Martin, and Jones) (Randy White mentioned for Heisman!). Oakland interchanging players and the 2 machines keep running... Madden and Landry genius👏
Al Davis was the genius on the Raiders' side not Madden. He was in charge of the Raiders retooling. That's why the Raiders rebuilt and won two SBs after Madden had left with a mostly different cast of characters.
@@jonburrows8602 80's Raiders had a lot of holdovers from the 76 Superbowl team. The Powerful Offensive Line was pretty much the same cast of characters. But 83 Raiders however was a completely different team for the most part.
@@radar0412 Different head coach, and quarterback and different defense aside from Ted Hendricks. My point is, it was Al Davis and not John Madden who determined Raider greatness and that HOF o-line he drafted proves it.
It was a legal hit with no flags, from what I understand. Feel bad for Darryl Stingley (and his family). From what I understand, Jack Tatum tried to visit him but was turned away.
@@rayjr62 No that was #43 Cliff "No class, trash talkin,' late hittin" Harris... Charlie was too magnanimous, and too good of a player to stoop so low as to taunt. #41 C.W. should've been in the HOF a long time ago, same with Branch and D. Pearson. I'm glad that they finally were admitted, posthumously for Branch.
He also sang it at the 84 NBA all star game at the forum in LA-(Inglewood). And, in my opinion, sang it better than Whitney Houston LIP SYNCED it in SB25.
they almost met in the 78 sb but oakland lost to denver in a game they might have won if there was instant replay that would probably have been the game of the century thanks for this one homer
jeffersonianideal Funny thing is that the 1980 season should have ended with a Cowboys-Raiders super bowl. The Eagles were a fine team. But Dallas should have been there. The reverse was true in 77, when the Raiders wouldve made a much more attractive Super Bowl with Dallas had they beaten the dull Broncos team that miracled their way to New Orleans.
Indeed!! Might have happened after the 77 season if not for the poor refereeing allowing the Rob Litle fumble to not be called in the 77 AFC championship game. But easily could have happened years earlier too. Two Great franchises from each league!
I remember a friend of mine in the 80s yelling that they should put the clock and down/distance in the corner...along with the scoreboard. And he was right. Unbelievable that they waited until 1994, when FOX got the NFC package, to do what we needed.
Alex Karras doing the GQ. And Marvin Gaye singing. When MNF was worth watching. Bubba Smith was on the Baltimore Colts Super Bowl championship team in 1971 that beat the Cowboys 16-13. The game was won with a last minute field goal by long haired Jim O’Brien.
That was my very first SB that I watched. Wearing my New Old Stock Rawlings San Francisco Forty Niner kit (#44 John David Crow) that I gotten for Christmas. My godparents bought it for me and kinda got ripped off! The current issue Niner ones were #12 John Brodie with the striped sleeves and most importantly the modern helmet. What I got was leftover from the 50's... No stripes, and the ancient late 1950's high altitude test pilot's helmet with the HUGE baffles over the ears. it's the thought that counts, but my next-door neighbor had the brand new Ram's kit.
In southwestern states, plus Texas, Louisiana & Arkansas, Phillips 66 is the petrol sponsor. Trust the one company who makes fine products for your car. The Phillips Petroleum Company. Surprised?!
blah, blah, blah...i love these old games too, but you like many other old timers are stuck in a nostalgic time bubble... but to suggest players from this era only played for pride, is utterly moronic...
@@conni70 Nostalgic bubble or not, the game was better back then. It wasnt the the glorified 7 on 7 drill, where you cant even breathe on the qb, that it is now. Running backs MATTERED. Count the hall of famers on these 2 teams. They were probably more Canton bound guys IN THIS GAME than there are in the entire league right now. Nostalgia, my ass.
again, i love these old classics...and i appreciate the history of the NFL, that's why i was on this page to begin with...that said, i'm also a realist...today's players are bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic and more skilled...that's an indisputable fact..i'll use a simple example to illustrate my point...this game was played 44 years ago...now , 44 years before 1974 was 1930...are you gonna tell me the game was better in 1930 than 1974..?
@@conni70 It was MOST DEFINITELY better in 1974 than in 2018. The Steelers were the champions of the NFL in 1974, they had 9 Hall of Famers. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 NINE. The Eagles are the current NFL champions, their only projected hall of famer didnt even play in the Super Bowl. The 74 Raiders had Upshaw, Shell, Otto, Snake, Casper, Blanda make the hall. They beat a Miami team in the playoffs that had Griese Warfield Csonka Langer Little Buoniconti. Not one team today has 5 projectable hall of famers, let alone 9. The players may have veen smaller, less roided-up, slower, but they played better than the players today. END OF STORY.
thank you. I love your uploads I subscribed. any chance you have any more raiders games with stabler or Plunkett as an? that's my favorite era and the games hard to find
A special MNF Saturday special from December 14 1974, The Cowboys would miss the playoff first time since 65, This was a rebuilding year and would make the playoffs the next 9 seasons including 7 NFC Title Games, 3 Super Bowl appearances.
Two great teams in the seventies could have played in the superbowl few times But Couldn't Beat My MIGHTY STEELERS 😉 The Greatest Team ever STEELERS fan since 1976 here we go steelers
Too bad these 2 GREAT TEAMS never met in The Super Bowl ! Esp. 1977 season ! I loved the Vikes ! in these days....but Dallas vs Oakland could have met in the SB a few times !
It made sense for Oakland to rest Stabler in the second half, And seeing Banda's last TD PASS was incredible (had Branch not stumbled on the second Blanda lead scoring drive he might have had 2) Madden's absolute commitment not to let Lamonica in the game was baffling especially when Lamonica had won the previous week with a TD PASS off the bench when he finally played Lamonica he didn't allow him to pass. Odd
This was an interesting game for several reasons. It was the first-ever broadcast for ABC's MNF crew that was NOT actually on a Monday. At the time of this matchup, the Cowboys and Raiders were the only two teams of the then 26 in the league who had never faced each other. Oakland used four quarterbacks in the game. This may be the only time the same team used 4 different QBs in the same game in modern day NFL history, the only other time in football I've ever heard of a team doing this is the Miami Hurricanes in 1986. George Blanda, who was 47, cemented his status as the oldest man ever to see action under center.
Mark Miller VCR'S were introduced in 1956. Their popularity didn't arise until the late 70's. My only guess is that somehow Homer got this tape from someone at one of the Networks or a Dallas or Oakland local TV station.
sorry for the late reply! i actually got this game from a site called Ten Yard Torrents - from the description of it on there, it says it appears to be a network master tape. so you're technically right lol
At 43:27, the announcers incorrectly call it an offside, saying that number 60 was baited into it by the snap count. But in reality, it was a false start by a Cowboy lineman. The announcers don't notice the 5 yards taken from the Cowboys' field position. Just thought it was interesting
So many story lines here. Last game ever played by Lilly, Cornell Greene, Walt Garrison, Dave Manders. Lilly's back had been plaguing him for three seasons. Glad to see he saw the field here. Garrison may have intended to come back in 1975 but twisted his knee badly on the rodeo circuit in the off season. Pat Toomay was traded after five seasons. After six years, , Calvin Hill signed with the WFL, though I am not sure if it was before this game. John Niland was let go after nine seasons, perhaps due to drug or personal problems affecting his play. He played three more seasons with the Eagles. Bob Hayes was cut in, or just before the 1975 training camp. Was Hayes dressed for this game and did he ever see the field? Haven't seen him in the first quarter yet. Hayes was bitter at being cut, ostensibly because he wouldn't block (some sources) or didn't learn the new playbook, according to Staubach. Craig Morton had been traded to the Giants earlier that season. Truly a transition year for the Cowboys. Dennis Morgan played his only year for the Cowboys in 1974. Still owns the Cowboy record for the longest punt return in Dallas history, 98 yarder vs the Cardinals at Busch Stadium in Week 5. According to another Cowboy's autobiography (Hayes), Morgan wasn't around long because he riled too many feathers by marrying a white woman, and having the reception at the Cowboys facility . Morgan might have never played in the NFL again period after 1974. Sad if true. Morgan died at the age of 60 (?) from a heart attack a few years ago watching a game in Giant Stadium.
sportshistorybuff Hayes caught a pass late in the 4th,definitely transition year for Dallas,H Martin has a great 1st half,portents of things to come,and alot of great cowboys in this close game,some of the old guard Leavin like u mentioned and some new greats starting to make names for themselves (Pearson,Martin,Too tall,Bj Dupree etc..)
yep, download it here: 1st half: we.tl/xebpK7i1Tk 2nd half: we.tl/gEAX1pVQd2 and i definitely would if i knew anything about making a site lol, if this account gets shut down i'll probably just move on to dailymotion.com or VK.com
It was said that the Oakland-Alameda Colosseum was one of the slickest turf in the league because it was actually built below sea level and when I watch these old games it evident,, It was the start of 3 nationality broadcasts for the Raiders,, Next was the legendary "SEA OF HANDS "game,, Then the shocking , Heartbreaking Steelers lost in the A.F.C. championship game.
Was Marvin Gaye in town for the EPIC concert that included the live version of “Distant Lover”? And obscure reference to be sure, but the audience reaction on that song really “shivers my timbers”.....
Cannot believe I was actually 16 years old that year, a huge Cowboys fan...It was a disappointing year for them, I think they finished at 8-6, and had already been eliminated, which in the 70's, was very unusual for them...They would bounce back soon enough...
The Super Bowl that never was. .But should've been. Dallas vs. Oakland, Stabler vs. Staubach, Doomsday vs. the Silver n Black Attack. Damn!! Did we missed out!!
This needed to be one of the Superbowls of the 70s, like in '77.now that would have been one heckuva Superbowl. Dallas were amazing during the 70s, losing to the Colts, beating the Dolphins, losing to the Steelers twice and ...the Broncos?!?....huh ? It should have been the Raiders. Too bad for us, aww shucks
I was 10 years old and this season and game are seared into my memory bank. Ranked 1st in yards for offense and 4th in defense , Dallas won their first game then lost four in a row to some awful luck. (Joe Lavender turns a game icing TD plunge into a 98 yard fumble return for a TD to beat Dallas in week 2; the Cowboys have 5 turnovers against the lowly Giants in week 3. Lose a nail bitter to the Vikes and Cards in week 4 and 5. The Dallas wins 4 in a row only to lose to Washington in week 10. Then this game. They get walloped by the Raiders and fat old George Blanda comes in and throws a touchdown pass ot rub in the humiliation. Oh how I hated this season. The old guard for Dallas was dying out. They would lose Hall of Famers Bob Lilly,and Bob Hayes, All Pros Calvin Hill, Walt Garrison, Dave Manders and Cornell Green Al studs Craig Morton, Pat Toomay,. Thank god for the dirty dozen who led the Cowboys to a miraculous wild card Super Bowl in 1975. One of Landry's best season as a coach. Only surpassed by his job in 1985, when Dallas had no business making the playoffs.
*Here is GOOD NEWS:* Jesus Christ died on a cross to save people from their sin according to the bible(God's word). Then Jesus rose from the dead, 3 days later, thus defeating death. Anyone who believes this will not perish but will have everlasting life.
The last game of the BRILLIANT careers of Bob Lilly ...love you Tony Romo, but Mr Lilly is the ONLY "Mr. Cowboy.". Also the other great Cowboys last game of Walt Garrison, Cornell Green, Dave Manders. Traded were Bullet Bob Hayes and John Niland. Calvin Hill along with Pat Toomay left for the WFL. To lose all of THAT talent and return to the Super Bowl and also continue the seasonal winning streak until 1986 ( broke only due to the mid-season injury to Danny White) says so much about Coach Landry, Gil Brandt and the greatest team of scouts and the first analytics department in all of sport (since 1963).I tell everyone that if there was no such thing as the Dallas Cowboys I would have grown up a Raiders fan, but there is the Dallas Cowboys. They had nothing to play for but pride and THE STAR. I so respected the Raiders but that winning percentage of theirs doesn't hold up to 20 straight winning seasons (the 2021 Cowboys defended that record and ended the Patriots at 19 winning seasons in a row). It's a shame the 70's even 80's Cowboys and Raiders never played a Super Bowl. A blown call in 77 took away that chance of a game. These two teams never played another regular season game until December 1980 when the Cowboys led by Danny White and Tony Dorsett ran all over the Raiders. Again the Cowboys have nothing to play for in this game and on the road barely beaten by a great Reader team. Just shows the respect the had for themselves, fellow teammates and Coach Landry. I have this on DVD but it's down right now so thank for uploading. I just wish Lilly could have hung on for one more year along with Garrison.....third down would have seen the all time ever Cowboys front four: Jones, Lilly, Randy White (who did play down lineman at times in 75) and Martin....at times Larry Cole. Could have stopped the Steelers. Oh it has been said the Cowboys were all about finesse.....this is absolutely BULSH as Cowboys reporter Mike Fisher says. They were plenty physical.....they just did not take roughing penalties and did not play neanderthal football. Hey for very rare Cowboys and Raiders merch from 70's check out Vintage something.., forget second word. Just Google that in shopping it will pop up. You will be BLOWN away ... especially the posters you can make any size.

it's sad these two powerhouses never squared off in January.. both these organizations had the most wins the first quarter century of the SB era...Raiders had the most wins, followed by Dallas.. but can you guess who had the 3rd most wins the first 25 years of the SB era...? you might already know, but if not, I'll fill you in...it was the Los Angeles Rams...yup, you heard me correct..
should, would, could but didn't happen
BIG TIME. I COULD NOT SAY IT ANY BETTER
Hello??? You play. to. win. the. game.
Denver made it. Oakland watched.
Refs reversed a clear fumble in that game. But Cowboys win over Broncos in SB12 give them a well deserved defeat. Broncos played to lose. Period.
Wow, talk about a field full of legends...and this had to have been the only game that Stabler, Blanda and Lamonica all put time in at quarterback.
There were a few other games where it happened. The first game of the '72 season, they all played against Pittsburgh in the game at Pittsburgh. The NFL Films game of the week video is up at RUclips.
Nice to see these older games. Before my time, but appreciated nevertheless.
Two 70's heavyweights that never met in super bowl, Would have been a heck of a game. Snake vs Roger may have been the best SB ever.
i am really gracious the cowboys and steelers have met 3 times in the super bowl. i didn't get to see the first one because i was too busy watching my cartoons or playing cowboys and indians outside. as far as the cowboys and raiders, i feel like i was robbed that staubach and stabler didn't meet in the super bowl. i agree, that would've been the best SB ever.
Indeed. Came close a few times when either would lose a conference championship game. Had two memorably exciting regular season games in 1980 and 1983, though that was after Staubach and Stabler had retired/gone to other teams. It was Danny White vs. Jim Plunkett.
I think the best chance was SB 12. I've always believed the Raiders would have given the Cowboys a much tougher game than the Broncos.
Kingfish4242, I totally agree, I always said SB XII should have been Raiders-Cowboys, That had the makings of a great game, With the Raiders being defending champions and that great team Dallas had it would have been awesome!
JayDogTitan 1464 agree 100
They mentioned David hum in an upcoming college game in this game ironically he would be Oakland's backup just a few years later
Here is something interesting from 1967 to 1981 the cowboys and raiders played in about ten conference title games and never met in the super bowl.Man what are the chances of that happening!!
Take your pick of when you wanted them to meet. I think the most famous and missed opportunity was Super Bowl 12. Maybe Super Bowl 2 and would have been a good clash. Super Bowl 10 would also be great but it's the same players as 12.
Great game, I don't think the Raiders needed this one but played hard and sustained some injuries before going into the playoffs. Not many teams do it like that anymore unless they need to win.
If you think this one was a doozy, just wait until the following week vs. Miami!
A CLASSIC I tell ya! Classic! 😉
Two great franchises,Dallas would return the favour against Oak land in 1980 beating them 19-13.what a game that was as well ...these two teams are 6-6 all time with Dallas beating Oakland this past season to tie the all time record...
thank you for posting the older games. it's important that these games get viewed so that we can see this part of history unfold as opposed to simply seeing the game stats on a page.
Got to love those 1970s fashionable clothes.
I was 11 years old and missed this game because I didn't realize ABC was showing a Saturday night game. It was ABC's first NFL game on a Saturday night, their first Week 14 game, and their final game with the original Monday Night Football theme music [edit: they kept the original theme through 1975]. As noted, it also was the first meeting between the Cowboys and Raiders. Before kickoff, these were the only two remaining NFL teams that had never met in the regular season.
ABC aired only 13 games from 1970-1973, on Monday nights from Weeks 1-13. They aired Saturday night games in Week 14 from 1974-1977. In 1978, the NFL season expanded to 16 games, and ABC's schedule ballooned from 14 to 20 games -- 16 MNF games (including the first Monday night season finale), plus one on Thursday night and 3 on Sunday night (they flipped to 3 Thursday and one Sunday game in 1979). The NFL didn't have Monday night finales before 1978 because the playoffs opened the following Saturday in those years, but in 1978 an extra wild card game was added in each conference, usually played as a Sunday doubleheader.
Saturday, December 14, 1974. The last regular-season game for these teams.
As someone who grew up in today's NFL, you always hear about these greats. The unbelievable legend of Landry and America's Team. The enigma that is the Oakland Raiders. I have become a big fan of Ken Stabler, (mostly started because he was a left-handed quarterback) but I really do think he personifies what the Raiders were about. So it is really cool to actually see a game where they played and might have not been the legends they are today. I definitely appreciate this upload, just to see what these great franchises were like in their most known glory days.
Count the Hall of Famers! I think it's all of them.
We are spoiled with the technology we have today. The strategy techniques have changed somewhat, both admirable of today and yesteryear. What I appreciate is less rules and regulations and less politics.
Imagine tuning into a random NFL game and you get to see Marvin Gaye sing the national anthem
Two great franchises. They have played 12 games against each other over their histories. The series stands at 6-6.
yup...and both these organizations had the most wins in football the first 25 years of the super bowl era, yet ironically never played each other in January..but can you name the 3rd organization with the most wins the first 25 years of the SB era..? don't research it, just go off the top of your head..

@@thomascrowley9122 ..nope...Los Angeles Rams
11:59 when he fumbled in the end zone and Pearson got the ball for the touchdown was amazing
Dallas legends (Hayes and Lily) are retiring. Rebuilding with young talent (Pearson, Martin, and Jones) (Randy White mentioned for Heisman!). Oakland interchanging players and the 2 machines keep running... Madden and Landry genius👏
Randy White would join the team the next year and stay until after Landry was let go
Al Davis was the genius on the Raiders' side not Madden. He was in charge of the Raiders retooling. That's why the Raiders rebuilt and won two SBs after Madden had left with a mostly different cast of characters.
@@jonburrows8602 80's Raiders had a lot of holdovers from the 76 Superbowl team. The Powerful Offensive Line was pretty much the same cast of characters. But 83 Raiders however was a completely different team for the most part.
@@radar0412 Different head coach, and quarterback and different defense aside from Ted Hendricks. My point is, it was Al Davis and not John Madden who determined Raider greatness and that HOF o-line he drafted proves it.
Jack Tatum scares me, but that's a good thing. dude was a HARD hitter!
The Assasin!! Soul Patrol!!
George Atkinson as well, both were.best of friends( possible lovers) They loved to FPU . Esprcially AFC WEST OPPNTS.
It was a legal hit with no flags, from what I understand. Feel bad for Darryl Stingley (and his family). From what I understand, Jack Tatum tried to visit him but was turned away.
@@snakeoiler1292 Clean and legal hit. Still a shame tho!
@@glentodd7349 Woody Hayes said Jack Tatum was the toughest, hardest hitting player he ever coached.
Drew Pearson and Cliff Branch were both leading the NFL in catches during this game and both should be in the H.O.F.
Man, did Biletnikoff make Waters his bitch in this game. Unreal.
@@rayjr62 He moved to Free Safety the season later.
@@aaropajari7058 Isn't Waters the one who taunted Pittsburgh's kicker in that SB, until Jack Lambert ran in and body slammed him?
@@rayjr62 Yes. But to be fair he got his own hits in. He was an excellent Free Safety.

No that was #43 Cliff "No class, trash talkin,' late hittin" Harris...
Charlie was too magnanimous, and too good of a player to stoop so low as to taunt.
#41 C.W. should've been in the HOF a long time ago, same with Branch and D. Pearson.
I'm glad that they finally were admitted, posthumously for Branch.
What a great game! I was 16 years old when this game was played.
Marvin Gaye sings the National Anthem, and there are people complaining about this being posted???
According to Marvin the flag was "schtill" there 6:15. Maybe Marvin was Yiddish.
He also sang it at the 84 NBA all star game at the forum in LA-(Inglewood). And, in my opinion, sang it better than Whitney Houston LIP SYNCED it in SB25.
they almost met in the 78 sb but oakland lost to denver in a game they might have won if there was instant replay that would probably have been the game of the century thanks for this one homer
"Juice on The Loose" TV special takes on a whole new meaning 20 years later...
Marvin Gaye starting the game off with the national anthem - AWESOME!
This was back when the games were raw. All the air horns, grass field, great announcers and super players on both teams.
The Super Bowl of the 1970s that never was. The Oakland Raiders vs. the Dallas Cowboys.
jeffersonianideal Funny thing is that the 1980 season should have ended with a Cowboys-Raiders super bowl.
The Eagles were a fine team.
But Dallas should have been there.
The reverse was true in 77, when the Raiders wouldve made a much more attractive Super Bowl with Dallas had they beaten the dull Broncos team that miracled their way to New Orleans.
Indeed!! Might have happened after the 77 season if not for the poor refereeing allowing the Rob Litle fumble to not be called in the 77 AFC championship game. But easily could have happened years earlier too. Two Great franchises from each league!
My how the progression of television has become over the years
I remember a friend of mine in the 80s yelling that they should put the clock and down/distance in the corner...along with the scoreboard. And he was right. Unbelievable that they waited until 1994, when FOX got the NFC package, to do what we needed.
Alex Karras doing the GQ.
And Marvin Gaye singing.
When MNF was worth watching.
Bubba Smith was on the Baltimore Colts Super Bowl championship team in 1971 that beat the Cowboys 16-13. The game was won with a last minute field goal by long haired Jim O’Brien.
That was my very first SB that I watched. Wearing my New Old Stock Rawlings San Francisco Forty Niner kit (#44 John David Crow) that I gotten for Christmas. My godparents bought it for me and kinda got ripped off! The current issue Niner ones were #12 John Brodie with the striped sleeves and most importantly the modern helmet. What I got was leftover from the 50's... No stripes, and the ancient late 1950's high altitude test pilot's helmet with the HUGE baffles over the ears.
it's the thought that counts, but my next-door neighbor had the brand new Ram's kit.
George Blanda at 1:48:26 on his first play from scrimmage(excluding FGs) throws a TD pass. Legendary !!
Bob Lilly's last game
Also, Daryle Lamonica's last in the NFL.
Shabba6884 Really?
Interesting.
Yes, it was Daryle's last action in the NFL. He threw a TD pass in the win over KC the prior week, but I have never seen a tape of that game.
And If I remember correctly this game was played on a Saturday.
1 pm and 4pm PERIOD !!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Marvin Gaye and my Cowboys..🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯😇😇
In southwestern states, plus Texas, Louisiana & Arkansas, Phillips 66 is the petrol sponsor. Trust the one company who makes fine products for your car. The Phillips Petroleum Company. Surprised?!
What a great game Roger Dodger against the Snake. Back when football was football and you played for pride and not money.
blah, blah, blah...i love these old games too, but you like many other old timers are stuck in a nostalgic time bubble... but to suggest players from this era only played for pride, is utterly moronic...
@@conni70 Nostalgic bubble or not, the game was better back then.
It wasnt the the glorified 7 on 7 drill, where you cant even breathe on the qb, that it is now.
Running backs MATTERED.
Count the hall of famers on these 2 teams.
They were probably more Canton bound guys IN THIS GAME than there are in the entire league right now.
Nostalgia, my ass.
again, i love these old classics...and i appreciate the history of the NFL, that's why i was on this page to begin with...that said, i'm also a realist...today's players are bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic and more skilled...that's an indisputable fact..i'll use a simple example to illustrate my point...this game was played 44 years ago...now , 44 years before 1974 was 1930...are you gonna tell me the game was better in 1930 than 1974..?
@@conni70 It was MOST DEFINITELY better in 1974 than in 2018.
The Steelers were the champions of the NFL in 1974, they had 9 Hall of Famers.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 NINE.
The Eagles are the current NFL champions, their only projected hall of famer didnt even play in the Super Bowl.
The 74 Raiders had Upshaw, Shell, Otto, Snake, Casper, Blanda make the hall.
They beat a Miami team in the playoffs that had Griese Warfield Csonka Langer Little Buoniconti.
Not one team today has 5 projectable hall of famers, let alone 9.
The players may have veen smaller, less roided-up, slower, but they played better than the players today.
END OF STORY.
you're a fuckin idiot... end of story
thank you. I love your uploads I subscribed. any chance you have any more raiders games with stabler or Plunkett as an? that's my favorite era and the games hard to find
A special MNF Saturday special from December 14 1974, The Cowboys would miss the playoff first time since 65, This was a rebuilding year and would make the playoffs the next 9 seasons including 7 NFC Title Games, 3 Super Bowl appearances.
That Marvin Gaye singing the National anthem. Just coming off his Mega hit "Let's get it on."
Two great teams in the seventies could have played in the superbowl few times But Couldn't Beat My MIGHTY STEELERS 😉 The Greatest Team ever STEELERS fan since 1976 here we go steelers
17:27 is exactly why the Dallas Cowboys defense was so great for all those Doomsday teams. Just gritty, no nonsense run stuffing defense.
Too bad these 2 GREAT TEAMS never met in The Super Bowl ! Esp. 1977 season ! I loved the Vikes ! in these days....but Dallas vs Oakland could have met in the SB a few times !
It made sense for Oakland to rest Stabler in the second half, And seeing Banda's last TD PASS was incredible (had Branch not stumbled on the second Blanda lead scoring drive he might have had 2) Madden's absolute commitment not to let Lamonica in the game was baffling especially when Lamonica had won the previous week with a TD PASS off the bench when he finally played Lamonica he didn't allow him to pass. Odd
This was an interesting game for several reasons. It was the first-ever broadcast for ABC's MNF crew that was NOT actually on a Monday. At the time of this matchup, the Cowboys and Raiders were the only two teams of the then 26 in the league who had never faced each other. Oakland used four quarterbacks in the game. This may be the only time the same team used 4 different QBs in the same game in modern day NFL history, the only other time in football I've ever heard of a team doing this is the Miami Hurricanes in 1986. George Blanda, who was 47, cemented his status as the oldest man ever to see action under center.
Where did you get this recording? Nobody had VCR's in 1974! How is this possible? Are you a time traveler?
People had VCR's then (VCR was introduced in 1972) but they were very expensive.
Mark Miller VCR'S were introduced in 1956. Their popularity didn't arise until the late 70's. My only guess is that somehow Homer got this tape from someone at one of the Networks or a Dallas or Oakland local TV station.
sorry for the late reply! i actually got this game from a site called Ten Yard Torrents - from the description of it on there, it says it appears to be a network master tape. so you're technically right lol
Nfl royalties were paid by YT. All these games were payed by YT to NFL for airing rights.
This is pre-Tony Dorssett, but still very solid lineups, for both teams.
At 2:24:41, Tie a Yellow Ribbon is played by the band
At 43:27, the announcers incorrectly call it an offside, saying that number 60 was baited into it by the snap count. But in reality, it was a false start by a Cowboy lineman. The announcers don't notice the 5 yards taken from the Cowboys' field position. Just thought it was interesting
Damn shame these two teams never met in a SB back then. Easily the two best teams of the first 20 seasons of the SB era (1966-1985).
The game that greatly upset Chuck Knoll, and created the Great Steeler dynasty of the 70s!!!
Great game👍🏻
A rare year that the Cowboys didn't make the playoffs. The next year they missed them was 1984. Last game for Bob Lilly and Bob Hayes.
So many story lines here. Last game ever played by Lilly, Cornell Greene, Walt Garrison, Dave Manders. Lilly's back had been plaguing him for three seasons. Glad to see he saw the field here. Garrison may have intended to come back in 1975 but twisted his knee badly on the rodeo circuit in the off season. Pat Toomay was traded after five seasons. After six years, , Calvin Hill signed with the WFL, though I am not sure if it was before this game. John Niland was let go after nine seasons, perhaps due to drug or personal problems affecting his play. He played three more seasons with the Eagles. Bob Hayes was cut in, or just before the 1975 training camp. Was Hayes dressed for this game and did he ever see the field? Haven't seen him in the first quarter yet. Hayes was bitter at being cut, ostensibly because he wouldn't block (some sources) or didn't learn the new playbook, according to Staubach. Craig Morton had been traded to the Giants earlier that season. Truly a transition year for the Cowboys. Dennis Morgan played his only year for the Cowboys in 1974. Still owns the Cowboy record for the longest punt return in Dallas history, 98 yarder vs the Cardinals at Busch Stadium in Week 5. According to another Cowboy's autobiography (Hayes), Morgan wasn't around long because he riled too many feathers by marrying a white woman, and having the reception at the Cowboys facility . Morgan might have never played in the NFL again period after 1974. Sad if true. Morgan died at the age of 60 (?) from a heart attack a few years ago watching a game in Giant Stadium.
sportshistorybuff Hayes caught a pass late in the 4th,definitely transition year for Dallas,H Martin has a great 1st half,portents of things to come,and alot of great cowboys in this close game,some of the old guard Leavin like u mentioned and some new greats starting to make names for themselves (Pearson,Martin,Too tall,Bj Dupree etc..)
And this is Saturday Night Football!!!
Do you have the Steelers Bengals 2015 Wild Card? Also you should make a website for these so that Goodell and co wont be after you
yep, download it here:
1st half: we.tl/xebpK7i1Tk
2nd half: we.tl/gEAX1pVQd2
and i definitely would if i knew anything about making a site lol, if this account gets shut down i'll probably just move on to dailymotion.com or VK.com
Thanks so much
It was said that the Oakland-Alameda Colosseum was one of the slickest turf in the league because it was actually built below sea level and when I watch these old games it evident,, It was the start of 3 nationality broadcasts for the Raiders,, Next was the legendary "SEA OF HANDS "game,, Then the shocking , Heartbreaking Steelers lost in the A.F.C. championship game.
There's a saying about Fred Biletnikoff: "Biletnikoff runs the 40 in about a week, but can shake his own shadow when he had to..."
Wicked looking Raiders in those black shirts.
Was Marvin Gaye in town for the EPIC concert that included the live version of “Distant Lover”? And obscure reference to be sure, but the audience reaction on that song really “shivers my timbers”.....
Thanks for posting, it's nice to look back and watch real football, not the watered down, politically correct version we have today.
Cannot believe I was actually 16 years old that year, a huge Cowboys fan...It was a disappointing year for them, I think they finished at 8-6, and had already been eliminated, which in the 70's, was very unusual for them...They would bounce back soon enough...
Football as it should be
The Super Bowl that never was. .But should've been. Dallas vs. Oakland, Stabler vs. Staubach, Doomsday vs. the Silver n Black Attack. Damn!! Did we missed out!!
This needed to be one of the Superbowls of the 70s, like in '77.now that would have been one heckuva Superbowl. Dallas were amazing during the 70s, losing to the Colts, beating the Dolphins, losing to the Steelers twice and ...the Broncos?!?....huh ? It should have been the Raiders. Too bad for us, aww shucks
They played "Ive been working on a railroad" at 12:00 after the Cowboy touchdown! Now thats outta the past. 😉
It was probably “The Eyes of Texas.”
this was the only time during the 1970s that the cowboys and raiders played each other
Look at that sweet helmet Jawkobenko is sporting.
Still the best MNF announcers ever
sorry you will have the 2005 dallas vs oakland game? please
or 1995 dallas vs raidersgame???
i have the 1995 game, just uploaded it: ruclips.net/video/Ozf8cJfisyo/видео.html
thanks, the 90s rule!
The raiders were a major power house in the 70s but the steelers ruled the decade....
I was 10 years old and this season and game are seared into my memory bank. Ranked 1st in yards for offense and 4th in defense , Dallas won their first game then lost four in a row to some awful luck. (Joe Lavender turns a game icing TD plunge into a 98 yard fumble return for a TD to beat Dallas in week 2; the Cowboys have 5 turnovers against the lowly Giants in week 3. Lose a nail bitter to the Vikes and Cards in week 4 and 5. The Dallas wins 4 in a row only to lose to Washington in week 10. Then this game. They get walloped by the Raiders and fat old George Blanda comes in and throws a touchdown pass ot rub in the humiliation. Oh how I hated this season. The old guard for Dallas was dying out. They would lose Hall of Famers Bob Lilly,and Bob Hayes, All Pros Calvin Hill, Walt Garrison, Dave Manders and Cornell Green Al studs Craig Morton, Pat Toomay,. Thank god for the dirty dozen who led the Cowboys to a miraculous wild card Super Bowl in 1975. One of Landry's best season as a coach. Only surpassed by his job in 1985, when Dallas had no business making the playoffs.
fuck Dallas and Oakland can't say the 2 Qbs are not 2 ove the best. 91 Skins would have beat them both !
For what it's worth, they did beat Washington in week 12.
Roger staubach and Kenny Stabler are both Hall of Famers. So we CAN say they were two of the best....
Christian Stough had Miami beat Oakland where would Miami played Pittsburgh
I don't understand why they put Blanda in at quarterback and left Lamonica on the sideline? Did I miss something?
great game
*Here is GOOD NEWS:*
Jesus Christ died on a cross to save people from their sin according to the bible(God's word). Then Jesus rose from the dead, 3 days later, thus defeating death. Anyone who believes this will not perish but will have everlasting life.
The last game of the BRILLIANT careers of Bob Lilly ...love you Tony Romo, but Mr
Lilly is the ONLY "Mr. Cowboy.". Also the other great Cowboys last game of Walt Garrison, Cornell Green, Dave Manders. Traded were Bullet Bob Hayes and John Niland. Calvin Hill along with Pat Toomay left for the WFL. To lose all of THAT talent and return to the Super Bowl and also continue the seasonal winning streak until 1986 ( broke only due to the mid-season injury to Danny White) says so much about Coach Landry, Gil Brandt and the greatest team of scouts and the first analytics department in all of sport (since 1963).I tell everyone that if there was no such thing as the Dallas Cowboys I would have grown up a Raiders fan, but there is the Dallas Cowboys. They had nothing to play for but pride and THE STAR. I so respected the Raiders but that winning percentage of theirs doesn't hold up to 20 straight winning seasons (the 2021 Cowboys defended that record and ended the Patriots at 19 winning seasons in a row). It's a shame the 70's even 80's Cowboys and Raiders never played a Super Bowl. A blown call in 77 took away that chance of a game. These two teams never played another regular season game until December 1980 when the Cowboys led by Danny White and Tony Dorsett ran all over the Raiders. Again the Cowboys have nothing to play for in this game and on the road barely beaten by a great Reader team. Just shows the respect the had for themselves, fellow teammates and Coach Landry. I have this on DVD but it's down right now so thank for uploading. I just wish Lilly could have hung on for one more year along with Garrison.....third down would have seen the all time ever Cowboys front four: Jones, Lilly, Randy White (who did play down lineman at times in 75) and Martin....at times Larry Cole. Could have stopped the Steelers. Oh it has been said the Cowboys were all about finesse.....this is absolutely BULSH as Cowboys reporter Mike Fisher says. They were plenty physical.....they just did not take roughing penalties and did not play neanderthal football. Hey for very rare Cowboys and Raiders merch from 70's check out Vintage something.., forget second word. Just Google that in shopping it will pop up. You will be BLOWN away ... especially the posters you can make any size.
