@@darrylperry9798 when the Washington defensive end went down, it reminded me of that movie, North Dallas Forty. Late in the game and the qb tells the right guard to keep him out of his face. Then the two linemen team up and cheap shot the guy in the knee.
So many great memories. Watching this with my brother and my mother,(who are both no longer w us), cheering on the Cowboys. 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.
Yes, they are "mine" too. I watched back when Eddie Labarron was QB in the 1st season and then Don Meredith (from SMU.) I remember YA Tiddle of the NY Giants beating my Cowboys and all the losing seasons until they became the winning team they were for all those years in the playoffs with Landry. Now, well i have to put up with that jerk Jones.
I know I remember we were living in North Dallas in1975 and we watched the game that had the hail Mary from Staubach to Pearson my Aunt who was a big Staubach fan loved it
this was a horrible memory for me. I still remember it. It looked for sure that the Redskins had won this game with a 34-21 lead in the 4th quarter. Uggh!
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.
@@nobodyaskedbut Also, in either SB year for the Raiders, Plunkett neither played in all the games nor did he start all the ones he played in. He did play well in the ones he was in, however.
When Dallas vs. Skins were exciting to watch! Still gives me chills watching the game. Staubach, Pearson, Hill, Doomesday Defense. Thx 4 the memories💪💯👍
That was a nail bitter. Roger the dodger and Harvey Martin of the old Doomsday defense. RIP Harvey Martin. You were a great player. One of the best. I miss Tom Landry and the Cowboys of the 60s through the 80's.
A friend of mine's mother threw me out of her house because I was laughing so hard during this game. I lived about 25 miles south of DC and just moved here from TX. Good times cheering against the Skins.
I was 20 year's old when they played this game winner takes the East. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Last great game for my hero they lost the playoff game to the Rams.
Me too. Most of my neighbors were not Cowboy fans, and as a 13 year old at the time, I had to carry the Cowboy flag into battle every sunday. Imagine the joy I experienced when I got to go to their houses and tell them that the Cowboys had come back and won the game.
Mr. SB is the reason I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. I has a great boss, who was from DC. We would bet the Dallas/Washington games. Even If Dallas was behind, I would double the bet at halftime. Mr. SB would throw a ball at the end of the game and would win. I live in Los Angeles, and have never been to Dallas, but I am their fan. Many super Bowl wins.
This is my Favorite game of All time....I was 14...every beat of my heart shook my body!! This was Americas Team!! That jerry jones is a Real morale Killer
Larry Cole was a Redskin nemesis. Reminds me of one of my favorite NFL stories: As a rookie 16th-round draft pick in 1968, Cole was a great player from the start. He scored two TDs his rookie year on interception returns, one in each of the two games against the Redskins. In 1969, he returned a fumble for a TD...against the Redskins. That ended his scoring until his last year, 1980, when he intercepted another pass and returned it for a score...against the Redskins. Afterward, a reporter mentioned to him that it was his first score since 1969 and he replied, "Anyone can have an off-decade." What a great line.

Wow!!! I just realized that i actually watched this game back in 1979!! It's sorta weird the watch this video and get flashbacks that are almost 40 years old!!Great game!!! Joe Theisman is one of the QB's is underated in my opinion!!
Man girlfriend and soon to be wife were at this game sitting in the upper deck. Back there there was no walls at the top so the wind could blow thru strong. the game started around 45 degrees I think and the 4th quarter was in the mid 20's with a 20mph north wind. Really cold. 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..
Yep, I feel the same way. I really enjoyed the NFL back in the 70's through the 90s. Can't stand what the game has become. DirecTV gave me free NFL Sunday Ticket today and I barely watched a part of the Rams Seahawk game.

I saw this live at the age of 7. I remember the station was going to replay it again later that night. I begged to be able to stay up and watch it. My parents were like....go to bed. Great catches by Preston Pearson too! I just remembered the ending.
I was six years old my dad went to this game with my uncle. I stayed home and watched game with my cousins. This was the first football game i remember. Looking for dad on t.v.
It wasn't a win. The refs gave you the game. Mark Mosley should have been allowed to kick the field goal with .2 on the clock. Too bad there was NO instant replay then.
W41.. Rodger the Dodger threw for 75 yards at the end of the game ftw. Redskins first play flag (-10 yards) Second play a sack (0 yards) 3rd play Qb was rushed (0 yards) 4th play a flag on us (35 free yards) 5th play overthrown (0 yards) 6th play finally a completed pass (5 yards) AND you want to win like that??

@@w41duvernay It would have been 59 yard FG attempt for Mosley. His career long was 54. Probably was outside of his range but I agree atleast 1 second left on clock.

As a lifelong Cowboys fan this was the greatest & best game I ever saw. This is why so many revere & love Rodger Staubach. I was eleven years old & became a Cowboys fan in 75 & being from Upstate New York I'm a proud Cowboys fan.
my god, that stop by larry cole...that was the game right there. once we got the ball back, you knew roger was gonna be roger. and tony hill. i know our short list of greatest receivers are bob, drew, and michael, but tony was a great cowboy, and deserves consideration as one of our all-time greats.

@@sludge4125 correct. The game was so out of control back then. U see ther was a second on the clock. No drug testing no dmestic vilonece rules. Coke everywhere. Late hits like crazy. But it was better back then.
@@TexasNewsOwL There's a video of a sixties Viking game where they practically dragged an unconscious player off the field, so they wouldn't have to use a time out.
Saw this when I was 18. What a finish! Staubach devoted a chapter of his autobio, "Time Enough to Win." to this game, calling it "a game apart." Preston Pearson redefined the role of the RB as a pass-catcher in his 6 years there. And if Cole doesn't make that tackle, somewhere, Dandy Don is singing "Turn out the lights..."
I was sitting in the stands at the other end of the end zone when Hill caught that pass, I had just moved from St. Louis and I was 13 years old . This was the night I became a Cowboys fan.
Preston Pearson in the hall of fame? I don't know about that as I don't know what he did with the other teams he played with, but DREW Pearson should be in the hall of fame for sure.
I can recall back then when my friends and I use to say which Cowboys player would we like to meet and I said Ed too tall Jones well on my 47th birthday I met him and he bought us a beer and I thought I was a kid all over again...lol
That is freaking AWESOME, man!! Thanks for sharing! Any more to the story?(Remember when SI had a centerfold showing how big Too Tall's SB ring was? Most of could have worn it as a bracelet.)
Darryl Perry remember when Ed “ Too Tall” Jones was in advertisements for what was then Datsun’s King Cab??????…..he was lying down in the truck bed…. I hope you will reply to this
Harvey Martin was a beast. Washington had plenty of time. Just shows how proficient they are with this today. Preston Pearson, Jim Kiick, and Chuck Foreman were the best receiving running backs of the 70's.
I was 10 years old and in the 4th grade in Dallas when this game happened. Channel 4, which was the CBS affiliate at that time, rebroadcast that game the next Saturday night. Staubach broke my heart of March 31, 1980, when he retired. Never got over it.
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.
Dallas cowboys been a fan all my life . I was 10 yrs old when this game was played .I love the Cowboys & when we played Washington Redskins it was always a great game . I'm 53 yrs young & still love my Cowboys for life .
Michael Spruill I respect that big time! Hell I missed the 1st half because my parents had me doing the church thing. I get picked up and my daddy tells me Dallas is getting it handed to them. I get home. Im not happy. I start yelling and honestly crying because I believed that Dallas would be ahead if my parents did not send me to church. At that point I am blaming them. Anyhow I am upstairs balling my eyes out like a big ass baby. I'm complaining that Dallas isn't any good anymore. I'm saying I can't root fir them no more. And then my daddy says you better get down here....Staubach is hot. Before I get to bottom of stairs my tears all dried up. Once again I am the biggest Cowboy fan...and watch Staubach do his thing.....hitting Tony the Thrill Hill with game clincher to win the East! And that's how it was on that Sunday in December in 1979.
Wow! Just Wow! After the "old" guy Larry Cole broke through and put Riggins on the ground, Roger Staubach did an incredible comeback. There was a reason why Staubach was called Captain Comeback.
Scott Davidson this is pretty much the greatest story ever!!! Lol I think we’re soul mates! thank goodness they usually played the 3:00 slot but if it was the noon one, I was always upset missing the kickoff because church was finished at 12:00 and took about 12 minutes to get home. I think the pastor knew he should keep the sermon a few minutes short on those Sundays or riots might break out. 🏈⭐️such good times!!!
What a team! The Cowboys always had a chance with Staubach at QB. He had such a great cast around him too. Cole, Pearson and Pearson, Dorsett, White, Wright, Septien, Fitzgerald, Hill, all great players.
The Great One Roger Staubach showed again why he was a generational Talent and a true American Hero and was my personal Hero in my teenage and young adult years. If not for so many concussions, there's no doubt in my mind Roger could have played well into his forties and most likely brought probably two or three more NFL Championships to Dallas!!!
“Clarence Harmon is asking for a timeout but that’s not his responsibility, is it?” Pat Summerall was great! What a game! I remember my dad coming into our family room from the garage, where he was working on his car…. He had on his heavy overalls…. It was 34-21 with maybe 4 1/2 minutes left… He said, “This game’s over…” and turned back around to go back to his car…. Maybe twenty minutes later, he came back in, right before Staubach hit Hill for the go ahead score…. He sat down. “I don’t believe it!”
This game was a classic. My favorite player of that Cowboys era was Preston Pearson, who totally balled out in this game. Preston was clutch. Roger could always count on him for a sharply run route out of the backfield, a perfecty timed screen or a quick hitter up the gut, and it usually ended up being a first down.
I was at this game and both of my brothers wanted to leave when Dallas was down 34-14 and I told them as long as Roger Staubach is there never count them out. But they insisted, and when we got home, we found out Dallas won 35-34. I could've turned to my brothers and said "I told you so.", but didn't.
Just imagine having a defensive line with a Randy White and Harvey Martin on one side in today's NFL. Jesus. (The games would be 5 hours long because of the offensive holding on every single play.)
@@raywalsh9152 and a highly underrated Too Tall on the other side. That’s as good as any D-line although Pitt and Minnesota also had great ones in the 70s
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.
@@raywalsh9152 Roger did even better for himself (at least financially) with his second career in real estate. He was smart enough to value his future health above potential future lily-guilding.
I remember when Mr. Roger Staubach was the quarterback. Those were the true Dallas Cowboys. Almost every year they will go to the super bowl and win the game. Mr. Rodger Staubach was an amazing player.
I love these old games. The crazy thing is, I wouldn’t mind seeing the commercials from this era. Brings back wonderful memories. 🙂

@@w41duvernay It would have been 59 yard FG attempt for Mosley. His career long was 54. Probably was outside of his range but I agree atleast 1 second left on clock.
Cowboys forever!
Good old days I miss them so much
For me to watch this clip 3/23/19 says a lot....Damn I miss Pat Sumerall, and those days...The smell of a fireplace on a Sunday afternoon...I remember the games with my Dad I was 10 years old...Those games were always televised..Made me who I am today I think...Thank God for the 3 channels....DC4L....💪👍✌💖
THERE WILL NEVER.BE A QB BETTER THAN STAUBACH N E V E R
Thank you for the upload and keeping it real respectfully!
GO COWBOYS!!!!💙
This is so great. I was 8 years old. I remember those days. Football and the players were magical.
As a lifelong Cowboys fan this was the greatest & best game I ever saw. This is why so many revere & love Rodger Staubach. I was eleven years old & became a Cowboys fan in 75 & being from Upstate New York I'm a proud Cowboys fan.
Roger Staubach de best QB at the NFL historia!!!!
my god, that stop by larry cole...that was the game right there. once we got the ball back, you knew roger was gonna be roger. and tony hill. i know our short list of greatest receivers are bob, drew, and michael, but tony was a great cowboy, and deserves consideration as one of our all-time greats.
Lance Rentzel, Jay Novacek, Frank Clarke, etc.
Tony Hill and Butch Johnson and Golden Richards were pretty good also
Terry Glenn

DAMMMMM__I kind of watching this DC game when I was in my ELmemtery school years back in Dallas Fort Worth TX--OMG __WOW
When football was a great sport played by great men.
wade rivers it still is.
Staubach is the GOAT!!!!
The good old days when the game was good, likable, enjoyable, and much more respectable..
Nostalgia is one of the greatest enemies of the truth.
nostaligia is not missing the events of the past...but missing your age when they took place.
@@TheEnigmaone1 I can understand that. It's all about the age.
@@sludge4125 correct. The game was so out of control back then. U see ther was a second on the clock. No drug testing no dmestic vilonece rules. Coke everywhere. Late hits like crazy. But it was better back then.
@@TexasNewsOwL There's a video of a sixties Viking game where they practically dragged an unconscious player off the field, so they wouldn't have to use a time out.
My cowboys been a fan since 81
A comeback like this is the norm now a days. Was much harder back when the defense was allowed to play.
Saw this when I was 18. What a finish! Staubach devoted a chapter of his autobio, "Time Enough to Win." to this game, calling it "a game apart."
Preston Pearson redefined the role of the RB as a pass-catcher in his 6 years there. And if Cole doesn't make that tackle, somewhere, Dandy Don is singing "Turn out the lights..."
Mr. Roger Staubach was Great!
Man is so famous he has three nicknames Rodger the Dodger Captain America and Captain Comeback legendary
What a great show down broadcast , what a great classic game.
I was sitting in the stands at the other end of the end zone when Hill caught that pass, I had just moved from St. Louis and I was 13 years old . This was the night I became a Cowboys fan.
Preston Pearson was money!, Man what an athlete!
Not bad for a fellow who only played basketball at Illinois.
He should be in the Hall of Fame.
Preston was the greatest 3rd down back ever!
Preston is from my home town. Preston once blocked a shot by Kareem in college.
Preston Pearson in the hall of fame? I don't know about that as I don't know what he did with the other teams he played with, but DREW Pearson should be in the hall of fame for sure.
Larry Cole, DD Lewis, Harvey Martin. Titans!!!!
I can recall back then when my friends and I use to say which Cowboys player would we like to meet and I said Ed too tall Jones well on my 47th birthday I met him and he bought us a beer and I thought I was a kid all over again...lol
That is freaking AWESOME, man!! Thanks for sharing! Any more to the story?(Remember when SI had a centerfold showing how big Too Tall's SB ring was? Most of could have worn it as a bracelet.)
Darryl Perry remember when Ed “ Too Tall” Jones was in advertisements for what was then Datsun’s King Cab??????…..he was lying down in the truck bed…. I hope you will reply to this
@@raywalsh9152 remember when Ed “Too Tall” Jones advertised what was then Datsun’s King Cab??????…I hope you will reply to this
Harvey Martin was a beast. Washington had plenty of time. Just shows how proficient they are with this today. Preston Pearson, Jim Kiick, and Chuck Foreman were the best receiving running backs of the 70's.
still had a second left, but what great memories. takes me back when i was a kid & loving the NFL.
I remember watching this game while living in Victoria TX.
I was 10 years old and in the 4th grade in Dallas when this game happened. Channel 4, which was the CBS affiliate at that time, rebroadcast that game the next Saturday night. Staubach broke my heart of March 31, 1980, when he retired. Never got over it.
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.
@@rickyrudd28texacohavolinef2 also saw a year ago where he said he would have stayed if Landry had let him call plays.
Larry Cole and Preston Pearson. Two unsung Cowboy heroes.
Dallas cowboys been a fan all my life . I was 10 yrs old when this game was played .I love the Cowboys & when we played Washington Redskins it was always a great game . I'm 53 yrs young & still love my Cowboys for life .
God, I remember this. Two touchdowns in last 5 minutes. Put my Bears in the playoffs. God Bless, Roger Staubach.
So great to see this video! I remember well watching that game as a kid, what a game. Roger the Dodger.
Back then football was pure heart
Awesome In my personal opinion the greatest quarterback of all time Me Roger Staubach
Brings back some good memories!
Those were the days. Roger the Dodger. Always loved Harvey Martin's head slap.
I remember watching this live on our black/white tv
I was 7 years old and attended this game with my dad and grandfather
I came here simply to listen to Pat Summerall's voice. Irreplaceable.
Yea, just doesn’t get any better for me. And I got to listen to him in the 90s and a youngster but even still, he was and will always be my favorite.
My Mother wanted to leave the game after Riggins long run, but my brother and I refused to leave the stadium.
Michael Spruill I respect that big time! Hell I missed the 1st half because my parents had me doing the church thing. I get picked up and my daddy tells me Dallas is getting it handed to them. I get home. Im not happy. I start yelling and honestly crying because I believed that Dallas would be ahead if my parents did not send me to church. At that point I am blaming them. Anyhow I am upstairs balling my eyes out like a big ass baby. I'm complaining that Dallas isn't any good anymore. I'm saying I can't root fir them no more. And then my daddy says you better get down here....Staubach is hot. Before I get to bottom of stairs my tears all dried up. Once again I am the biggest Cowboy fan...and watch Staubach do his thing.....hitting Tony the Thrill Hill with game clincher to win the East! And that's how it was on that Sunday in December in 1979.
Scott Davidson One of My Top 500 Favorite NFL Games also.
I was there the following week. Alas, much worse result.
Wow! Just Wow! After the "old" guy Larry Cole broke through and put Riggins on the ground, Roger Staubach did an incredible comeback. There was a reason why Staubach was called Captain Comeback.
Scott Davidson this is pretty much the greatest story ever!!! Lol I think we’re soul mates! thank goodness they usually played the 3:00 slot but if it was the noon one, I was always upset missing the kickoff because church was finished at 12:00 and took about 12 minutes to get home. I think the pastor knew he should keep the sermon a few minutes short on those Sundays or riots might break out. 🏈⭐️such good times!!!
This was FOOTBALL!!!
What a team! The Cowboys always had a chance with Staubach at QB. He had such a great cast around him too. Cole, Pearson and Pearson, Dorsett, White, Wright, Septien, Fitzgerald, Hill, all great players.
Larry Cole always seemed to make big plays against the Skins. Even scored a couple of touchdowns!
An underrated player.
4 touchdowns against the skins.
The Great One Roger Staubach showed again why he was a generational Talent and a true American Hero and was my personal Hero in my teenage and young adult years. If not for so many concussions, there's no doubt in my mind Roger could have played well into his forties and most likely brought probably two or three more NFL Championships to Dallas!!!
Cowboy games were like home games for CBS. Summerall, Brookshire and then Madden were so pro Dallas it was ridiculous.
...can still hear my dad say...Damn that Staubach!!!
I remember this game.
“Clarence Harmon is asking for a timeout but that’s not his responsibility, is it?”
Pat Summerall was great!
What a game!
I remember my dad coming into our family room from the garage, where he was working on his car…. He had on his heavy overalls…. It was 34-21 with maybe 4 1/2 minutes left… He said, “This game’s over…” and turned back around to go back to his car…. Maybe twenty minutes later, he came back in, right before Staubach hit Hill for the go ahead score…. He sat down. “I don’t believe it!”
First game I remember watching. 10yrs old and I knew then that Randy White would be my favorite player of all time.
Give credit to Landry, a superb coach who really was in control of all the play call decisions here.
This game was a classic. My favorite player of that Cowboys era was Preston Pearson, who totally balled out in this game. Preston was clutch. Roger could always count on him for a sharply run route out of the backfield, a perfecty timed screen or a quick hitter up the gut, and it usually ended up being a first down.
I was at this game and both of my brothers wanted to leave when Dallas was down 34-14 and I told them as long as Roger Staubach is there never count them out. But they insisted, and when we got home, we found out Dallas won 35-34. I could've turned to my brothers and said "I told you so.", but didn't.
I've seen Tony hill beat Parrish 1000x but never saw the. skins' final drive. Harvey Martin was unstoppable. Great clip.
Just imagine having a defensive line with a Randy White and Harvey Martin on one side in today's NFL. Jesus. (The games would be 5 hours long because of the offensive holding on every single play.)
@@raywalsh9152 and a highly underrated Too Tall on the other side. That’s as good as any D-line although Pitt and Minnesota also had great ones in the 70s
love it how they usewd to love roll the credits when there was alot of time left lol miss those dayz n pat sumerall
I loved this game
This was Roger Staubach's last regular season game before retirement.
I attended his last game a week later. Alas, a bad outcome.
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.
@@raywalsh9152 Roger did even better for himself (at least financially) with his second career in real estate. He was smart enough to value his future health above potential future lily-guilding.
@@raywalsh9152 You're right Chuck would just tell Bradshaw go deep but won't tell him which play to use.
@@raywalsh91524 years? I think it was 6.
I remember when Mr. Roger Staubach was the quarterback. Those were the true Dallas Cowboys. Almost every year they will go to the super bowl and win the game. Mr. Rodger Staubach was an amazing player.
Staubach's last Victory
I was there very young. First NFL game and I thought we were going to lose - but we didn't!!
I watched this game live
