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

Most people forget about Staubach having to do 4 years in the navy after college. Then because of Landry's biggest career blunder he sits behind Morton for 2 years. Just watch his incredible comeback vs Vikings in '75 under those field conditions and you will see his greatness on display. He's the only Heisman winning QB to ever win 2 NFL championships and lead the league in passer rating more than once. He's the greatest combined college and pro football player of all-time.
Didn't know 12 was the only Heisman QB to win 2 superbowls thx. 12 is da man of all time. He set the standard for all QB's
Jim Plunkett
@@donaldedmondson8306 Plunkett never led in passer rating. In fact the only major passing category Plunkett led the NFL in was INTs.
I was looking at Texas crossbows response,lol.
@@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.
Harvey Martin one of the most underrated players of all time.
Harvey should already be in the NFL HOF!!!
THERE WILL NEVER.BE A QB BETTER THAN STAUBACH N E V E R
I love these old games. The crazy thing is, I wouldn’t mind seeing the commercials from this era. Brings back wonderful memories. 🙂
Me too I wouldn't mind seeing the commercials and I hate commercials but I wouldn't mind seeing these because they go along with these good memories. I'm a 57 yr old man with tears in my eyes.

@@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.
Saw this game on a state-of-the-art-tv at Gimbel's with about 100 other people. Amazing experience and the literal end of the 1970s.
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.
Used to do the same thing living here in ny. Talk shit to the giants fans. Best era of football. Glad I experienced it.
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!
Back when football was GREAT!!! And when the offensive line did that "shift". LOVE IT.
No league full of Kaepernicks.
@@derekleaberry1199 Oh,you poor BABY!! 😭😭😭😭. Wasn't full of "Riley Coopers" either,Scruddy!!!
Mike Thomas ok?
Nostalgia is one of the greatest enemies of the truth.
Never a fan of Cowboys but they were a class organization with Staubach and Landry
raymond weaver can you believe it’s been 22 years almost 23 in February that Tom Landry’s been gone??????.. I hope you will reply to this
That makes you unclassy
@@martinarnold4999 You suck.
Staubach at his best,awesome finish.
staubach and walter payton are my all time favorite players class an greatness.
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.
You must have been in the vicinity of Dale City/Woodbridge. Man, I remember that game. I was all of 14 or so. Those were the days...
alwaysopen I don't believe you
@@j.h.9987 I wanna punch you in the nose for sticking your face on other people's business
Nobody cares what you think, scum bag.
I remember watching this game as a kid, drew Pearson was and is still to this day my favorite player ever! 👍🏻👍🏻
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.
Horseman Martin& ED TOO TALL JONES should be in the hall of fame along with Randy White.
Staubach and Randy White - Great memories!
They sure were, like losing twice to Pittsburgh in the 70s
Fall.. Still we got the rings
The Cowboys and Redshins games were like Ali vs Joe Frazier rivalries, Roger Staubach was a great Quarterback in the last 2minutes
Well said!

I was a high-school freshman in 1979. Lived or died for my Cowboys.
When Dallas vs. Skins were exciting to watch! Still gives me chills watching the game. Staubach, Pearson, Hill, Doomesday Defense. Thx 4 the memories💪💯👍
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..
Mr. Roger Staubach was Great!
Man is so famous he has three nicknames Rodger the Dodger Captain America and Captain Comeback legendary
My favorite Dallas Cowboy game of All Time.

One of my favorite Cowboy comebacks of all time. I remember as a kid watching this game and almost hitting the ceiling when Hill caught that 8 yd TD.
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.
Larry Cole and Preston Pearson. Two unsung Cowboy heroes.
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

I remember this game like it was yesterday. I watched this game back then and can still remember every down that was played in this game. The last 2 minutes of this game I was nervous just as I was back then and I know Dallas won.
Same here….
Daryl your preaching to the choir..., there's nothing like that today
A comeback like this is the norm now a days. Was much harder back when the defense was allowed to play.
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.
One of my favorite games growing up.
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 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
When football was a great sport played by great men.
wade rivers it still is.
Good old days I miss them so much
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 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.
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.
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.
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!!!
I was at this game. The stadium emptied out (mostly) when the Redskins went up by 13 late in the game. My friend and I moved from out seats down to emptied, perfect seats on the 50 yard line right at the level of TV cameras. We saw the miracle unfold from those seats, the only time in all the Texas Stadium games we attended that we sat in seats of that high quality. It was my second best live sporting event experience. The first was Nolan Ryan's 9th (?) no-hitter, which I watched from George W. Bush's seats on the first row behind the batters' box. Some may think I am making this up, and I don't blame them. Both experiences where almost too good to be real.
How did you get dubya's seats?
Awesome!!!
Looking back at the cowboys then. And now those were real ball players then.
I believe you
That’s so cool! I remember my dad’s company got tickets to a Cowboys game and the 4 adults (parents, dads partner and wife) sat on the 50 yard line while the kids (me, brother, and partner’s two boys) sat in some nosebleeds. we were down two scores with just under three minutes left. Most people left but we stayed and the adults missed the comeback by Staubach. I wanna say I was about 9 or 10 years old but I wish I could remember who we were playing. To us it felt like we had won the super bowl. It was soooo exciting. Seeing a comeback live is so amazing! And we enjoyed rubbing it in to the parents who missed it and were waiting in the parking lot for us...(lol never so thankful for pre-cell phone era!!!) Most likely was 1979-1981ish. For some reason, 2:53 sticks in my brain, as in we needed two scores with 2:53 left in the game. My brother was also at Ryan’s no-hitter. He has since passed away but he would still talk about it being one of the greatest highlights of his life. I also think he would remember the Cowboys game we saw since he was three years older... bittersweet to think about because he loved the Cowboys and Rangers so, so much! 😀☹️ good times.
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.
God, I remember this. Two touchdowns in last 5 minutes. Put my Bears in the playoffs. God Bless, Roger Staubach.
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'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
Larry Cole, DD Lewis, Harvey Martin. Titans!!!!
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.
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!!!
DAMMMMM__I kind of watching this DC game when I was in my ELmemtery school years back in Dallas Fort Worth TX--OMG __WOW
Thank you for the upload and keeping it real respectfully!
GO COWBOYS!!!!💙
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.
...can still hear my dad say...Damn that Staubach!!!
My cowboys been a fan since 81
This would be Roger Staubach's last moment in the Sun.
Except for the time when he sold his Real Estate Co. for 480 Million Dollars
Yea Danny White took over as starting quarterback after this
@@robertrodriguez787 didn't Dallas won a superbowl that year?
Prince Zane no, that was 2 years prior. They lost the following year to the Steelers and then for this one, they ended up losing to the rams in the divisional round.
He retired after this season
Harvey Martin was an animal!
Yeah he was, that's why he's looked at like that Greene guy for Pittsburgh.
Should be in the HOF, let alone Ring of Honor.
Is this the game where the playoffs was on the line, and after they won, Harvey Martin went and threw a wreath into the Redskins locker room? That was the most gangster thing ever in any rivalry.
He later apologized for that. Someone had sent Martin that wreath and made it look like one of the Redskins had done it.
@@soylentteal good info. Thanks.
You bet. Redskin player and former Cowboy Coy Bacon called Martin “a big old turkey” for doing it and that’s when Martin apologized.
Funny that the two of them were in the news at the same time, because Bacon set an NFL record for sacks with 21 1/2 of them in 1976 and Martin topped him in 1977 with 23, both of them in just 14 games! The league refuses to accept sack totals from that era as official, so the recognized record of 22 1/2 (in 16 games) is a fraud.
@@soylentteal I always love how the NFL pretends they couldn't possibly know how many sacks any other player had before the season they started officially counting them. So many great defensive players unrecognized for their efforts because the NFL just can't find those statistics. Anywhere. They've even looked in the basement. Of the Alamo.
@@raywalsh9152 All they would have to do us watch all the games. I'll take the job.
I remember watching this live on our black/white tv
“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!”
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 .
Harvey Martin was a man possessed, coming off the edge at right defensive end!
Why is Harvey Martin not in the Hall of Fame ?
Because he played for Dallas and that is about the only reason why the NFL don't want to consider him.
Been saying it for years. Fred Dean? and these other DE's were nothing on Too Mean Martin.
Charlie Waters should be in before Harvey.
The greatest football coach of all time genuis ran the offense ran the defense engineer of shotgun formations moving offense brilliant legendary coach
I was 7 years old and attended this game with my dad and grandfather
Back then football was pure heart
Brings back some good memories!
Awesome In my personal opinion the greatest quarterback of all time Me Roger Staubach
I remember this game.
We vacationed in Lake Placid, New York That winter. Joe Theisman guest hosted an ice capades like show there, and stayed in the hotel we stayed in. I got his autograph in he lobby. I remember his talk at the gig saying ‘I wish I was playing football instead...’ While staying at that hotel I watched in tears as the Rams best Dallas and IIRC Rogers last pass ‘completion’ was to his left guard.
Rodger was great don't forget roger served four years in the military, he didn't start playing quarterback till he was 27 for the Cowboys, I got the watch Roger play and Terry no the other greats the 70s
Hurts watching these games now. What happened to the boys!!!
I watched this game live
I was a second year Middle linebacker #58 for Washington on that day. Coming in to the game we knew if we won we were the Eastern Division champs, if we lost we had a 40 net point advantage in the tie breaker with Chicago if they were to beat St. Louis . Because this was a late game for TV, we learned that Chicago had beaten St. Louis by 42 points, I think, so we knew we had to win to get in to the playoffs. We were in control of the game at half so it didn't bother us. I have never experienced a loss that hurt so much as that one. I was physically sick when we walked off the field. One of my best friends that I played with at WSU was a starting corner for St. Louis, I gave him all sorts of hell for giving up in their last game with Chicago. With the way Riggins and Theisman were playing and the way we as a team were playing I believe if we had gotten past Dallas on that day that we would have taken it all the way to the Super Bowl. This is the first time I have seen a video of this game.
Great game on both sides, do u think Mosley would have made the field goal if u had 1 second left to play??!?!? Possibly 60 yard fg attempt no?
36 points to be exact (Bears over the Cardinals wiping out the 33 net point advantage Washington had going into this Sunday)
I was 7 years old, but didn't know anything accept highlights growing up in Dallas. I miss Tom Landry. I appreciate hearing from your side as well because I need to know when I lost my final soccer game while stationed at fort carson(intramural) albeit I had to try out to make the team and start 3 games
The linebacker was don hover and he never had a single tackle or assist in his 2 years at washington. U should of been sick..
Bud if this game were played in todays era you would have at least 1 second left on the clock.
So great to see this video! I remember well watching that game as a kid, what a game. Roger the Dodger.
As a lifelong Redskins fan this one hurt. I was 12. I despised these Cowboys but I had a lot of respect for Roger Staubach. Little did we know this would be his last regular season game and the next to last game of his great career. At the time us Redskins fan were devastated but there was a silver lining to what happened. That loss triggered a lot of things that benefited us going forward. Riggins retired, the team went 6-10 the next season (1980) and Jack Pardee was fired. The Redskins then hired a relatively unknown coach by the name of Joe Gibbs. Riggins returned and in 1982 we got our revenge on the Cowboys by beating them in the NFC Championship Game and went on to win our 1st of 3 Super Bowls. We went on to basically dominate the Cowboys the rest of the decade just like they had dominated us in the 60’s and the majority of the 70’s.
still had a second left, but what great memories. takes me back when i was a kid & loving the NFL.
I loved this game
Look at that clean, long threw!
Cowboys were 1st team to use the shotgun formation since the 40s.
That cowboys defense was dominating this drive. Stabauch looked like Tony Romo.
preston pearson was a money player and one of the great 3rd down b backs ever!!
Those was the best games
Before Elway's "The Drive", there was Captain Comback's Season Finale.
I watched this game live, but I don’t remember Washington getting the ball and having a chance to win. All I remember is Tony Hill’s touchdown catch over Lamar Parrish (formerly with Cincinnati) to tie the game at 34-34. I surprised myself that I remembered most of the Cowboys’ players by the jersey numbers!
I still remember exactly where I was this game - where I was sitting even. And remember the stakes - winner goes to the playoffs, loser goes home. No wildcard or half the teams qualify. Not even 16 games yet, don't think. Can't remember.
I was in 10th grade when I watched this game I still remember it like it was yesterday. They had already went to the 16 game season by this year Dallas was 11-5.
Dallas had already qualified for the playoffs win lose or tie.
There was a wildcard and it was a 16 game season.
Roger Staubach is the best QB in Dallas Cowboys history.
I remember watching this game and I couldn’t believe how the Redskins choked in the end. But it was Captain Comeback doing his thing again.
This game is an icon,one of Americas Team, best ever wins but i like the win against the 49ers at candlestick park in 1972 when stauback threw 2 tds in the last 2 minutes against a powerful 49ers team and stauback had just vome out of shoulder surgery,that game is cowboys version of the catch
I remember this game. Good old days I was in the 9th grade
I was at this game!... My parents took my sis & I... I was 12..
When it was fun to be a cowboy fan
Probably the best comeback ever!

Seconds minutes nano seconds l BIG JERRY make it REAL for Dallas cowboys.
Staubach came to my hometown (Tyler, Tx) his rookie year to a muffler shop to sign autographs. He signed my football. I was a kid and didn't know any better, went straight home and played ball with it in the street.
rustybodine I got a foul ball from Brooks Robinson and my stupid friends talked me into playing with it and wore it out. But it wasn't auto.
I was there. Tony Hill's best day as a Cowboy.

The good old days
This one still hurts !! But beat them in NFC championship healed all wounds !! HTTR.
Cowboys fans today? You guys are still living off of these years. This was when Dallas Cowboys football was football.
Only one of two times I have ever cried over a sporting event. The other was UNC vs Clemson 1981.
Skins played Defense. NO PREVENT. Almost made Dallas use up the clock. Today, teams would play prevent . Roger would have scored probably in 3 passes lol.
Prevent a win.
The winning score was the only time I remembered seeing Staubach throw that sort of pass. FYI, Danny White tried the exact same play a year later in the last regular season game against the Eagles, but the CB recognized it and knocked it away.
Good ole days
I know the conventional wisdom is that Roger retired after his best season, statistically, because of multiple concussions, and future health concerns. Wrong.

Tom Terrific might still be chasing the true GOAT.
Well, in his autobiography, Staubach said it was the concussions that did it. I also read in a separate account that when he tried to make light of his wife’s concern over his health, she became very angry and said, “I don’t plan on raising these children alone.” I forgot which source also said that he had a long discussion with his neurologist about it and was told that there was potential for long term health issues if he suffered another blow to the head. And since Danny White was ready to take over at QB and his future career in real estate had already begun, he knew all would be well. And what a career it was, since he later sold his business for 600 million dollars!
You need to list your source since Roger himself disagrees with you.
