Nice they had a good team that year .lost to the raiders in super bowl I wasnt alive yet I was born in 1981 but love seeing classic teams from 70's nfl Vikings cowboys Redskins rams afc dolphins raiders and steelers
That's cool. Wilbert was a great back. I'm a Raider's fan, but I thought the Eagles that year where cool. Would have been rooting for them if they played anyone else.
Yeah, NFL golden years. Nowadays, they're more like businessmen wearing pads. No real team loyalty, just self-promotion and getting the biggest paycheck possible.
@@DavidSilva-fq7nt Yes. Those were great announcing teams back at that time. Summerall - Bookshier ( later Madden) Enber - Olsen, Jack Buck - Hank Stram
As a Cowboy fan, I caught hell because I was living with two Eagles' fans. I had to admit this was a hell of a game. Hats off to the Eagles on that game.
I just had the pleasure working at Carl Hairston’s house. He was incredibly nice. He let me and my crew wear his championship ring, his coaching Super Bowl ring, and even signed autographs. He had dozens of stories he told us. What a great man and it was quite the experience trying those massive rings on.
Yep. The technology today has been able to digitally enhance nearly everything to even better than original quality. So we see these classics just as the people there saw them & we see better quality than people watching back then on their picture tubes. It's awesome stuff!

Not too dated Ty, I was watching from South Jersey, rooting for my Cowboys. I hated the Eagles back then...mostly because I had to hear so much crap as a 15yr old.
Jaworski really struggled in this game And the Superbowl! Wilbert and Harris really played great and the defense was great on this day. This victory was really sweet
The good old days, good old football at good old Veterans Stadium. Eagles fans were pumped, this game was HUGE! Montgomery's TD run was so amazing, it happened right at the perfect time!
I was 8 years old when I watched this game on tv. The previous week the Eagles beat the Vikings. That was the first football game I ever watched so the Eagles became my favorite team because they won. Still a huge Eagle fan to this day.
Say what you want about bigger and faster. These were all real men, no doubt. First drive you hear “.. he’s got a broken left hand” but still started and played. Freezing cold and dudes kicking off barefoot. Great times and fun to watch.
Remember watching this game as a 12-yr-old and simply LOVING it! Was an OILERS fan, so each and every time Dallas lost, it was a great day (and is to this day!). And those Eagles unis were bad-ass! Damn, Montgomery was fast!
I was in the 600 level in the end zone that Wilbert Montgomery ran towards with that TD run. It was amazing! The game remains the coldest game I ever attended...and it was a day game too!
Been a huge cowboy fan forever. Wilbert Montgomery went to ACU in abilene texas. Few years back ACU built a new stadium and his picture is on the west side with other ACU football greats.
Wow, this was real football, when the game was pure and simple. Exerting your will mentally and physically over your opponent. None of the garbage that is packed into todays game. I miss the old NFL, and I miss the VET.
Remember this Eagles team as a kid, they were so good, I was sure they would win the Super Bowl, but they were just too uptight and the Raiders just had that swagger.
🚲 I was too, but this wasn't on t.v. in Richmond, Va that day. Tryin to figure out why. We know all playoff games were televised. Maybe power went out..
Jaws was wrong. He didn’t have to have to play a great game for the Eagles to win. He went 9-29 / 2 INT / 3.1 YPA with a QB rating of 12.3. He also said (according to Brookshire at the top of the telecast) that he had to throw 38-40 times to win against the Dallas flex defense.
The thing I loved most about Dallas' jerseys back then, both home and road, the numerals looked so much nicer. They have been far too "thick" for lack of a better word for going on 30 years now.
@@willmack5909 Prior to the 1981 season, those blue jerseys that Dallas wore were "bad luck" for them. They rarely won when they wore them. Dallas redesigned their blue Jerseys for the 1981 season. The blue is a shade darker.
This was the last game Summerall and Brookshier called together. They were a team on CBS from 1974-1980, and also on "This Week in the NFL" from 1970-1975. CBS split them up because they were getting drunk together too much. Brookshier went to play-by-play, and CBS ended up pairing Madden with Summerall part way through the 1981 season. That pairing lasted 21 seasons, the longest in network history (13 on CBS and 8 on Fox).
Brooky & Summerall were great together..people loved Brookshier so much that when he took off his Rolex it fell out of the broadcaster’s booth to the lower level stands..they threw it back up to him. (IDK if people would do it nowadays)
Dennis Harrison #68 our high school coach here for 3 years. I run into him where I live here occasionally and we still talk football. He was proud eagles winning Superbowl few years ago great guy.
My neighbor Brian got 4 tickets to this game and took his brother Will, my father and my older brother (who was 13 and worked for the neighbor). Everyone loaded into the car and drove to the Vet. As they were pulling into the parking lot Will realized he'd run from the front door of his house to the car without putting his jacket on. Unreal. The 3 adults swapped the two jackets between them the whole game. They also downed a lot of wine they had brought (apparently there was some issue that led to most, if not all, concession stands not being open) to stay warm. After the game ended the adults were trashed. My 13 year-old brother had to escort the adults out and the biggest guy, Will, was the most sober and slowly drove everyone home. When he dropped off my father and brother, my father did something I otherwise never saw him do - vomit! As the younger kid, I was more than happy to have watched that game indoors with my grandmother.
And some people realize.... Time and place... No time nor place for politics in a game being covered... No matter it be left wing Marxist garbage... Or right wing Nationalist Socialist garbage...
Man oh Man..these games are SO much better than today's NFL..they are actually tackling, there are no phantom penalties. I would give up my fiance if football could be like this again..i really miss it.
Those days are gone forever. Free agency has destroyed the game. Throw in the ridiculous big money contracts with guaranteed money and people who still watch the modern NFL are stuck with mediocre football.
@@garthornspike3648 sick of all the steroid freaks at every position now in the NFL and everyone just pretends it doesn’t happen. Also, the teams don’t even play as a unit until week seven now. The players just aren’t very good anymore.
It's strange but I prefer to watch these old games over the new NFL. There is something special about how they played the games and the fact they were not over produced with all the stats and graphics they use today. I prefer this older brand so much more and it gives me my football fix to boot! Same holds for the NBA. I'm watching the 1995 Magic vs Rockets finals and really enjoy it for the same reasons...and the fact they were more physical and had inside games instead of all 3 pt shooting like today.
Both my husband and cousin were at this game. Both told me how loud the crowd was and how frigid this game was at the Vet. I remember watching this with my family in Frankford as a 10 year old. I too remember how cold the day and hoped no one got hurt on the Vet turf. I knew we were gonna win that day 💚🦅🏈
I was 10 as well during this…only difference is i was in my Dads car on the way to Jack Murphy stadium to watch The chargers and raiders play for the AFC championship
@@notimefordowntimesoriseabo5930 Since they play in a Dome it definitely is a shock for them to experience cold weather. Also is it possible if you can help me find any pictures of these signs or point me in the direction where I can find one. Thank you.
I was 3 yrs old when this game was played, years later i had the pleasure and honor of working with Randy Logan and his wife for over 15yrs….. amazing couple who still do great work in the Philadelphia community
Yep. The next season, they switched to a much darker blue -- and have worn them ever since. I kinda liked the uniforms they wore in this game, but like you said -- guess that color blue was considered bad luck.
It wasn't bad luck, it's only that Tex Schramm preferred to have the visiting team wear the dark colored jerseys to introduce different colors at the home stadium. Since most other teams wore the dark jersey at home, the blue Cowboy jersey was just rarely worn. They did have critical losses in this and the 1982 NFC championship, as well as SB V, but they beat the Los Angeles Rams in the 1978 NFC championship, 28-0. The Dolphins, Redskins, and Browns were also known for wearing white at home, once the NFL allowed the home team to choose which jersey (1964) during the season, and not until 1978 to have the choice in the Super Bowl.
@@dr.awkward9075 They did wear dark jerseys, but they added gray to the jersey with gray numbers and the Cowboy star in 1981, so the jersey did look different.
I still have my ticket stub….slept in line to get those tickets..they opened the ticket window at 2:00am when the crowd started burning the police barricades….it was the best
Relieving and great to hear real commentary…it’s surely missed..no jibber jabber no talking about players personal lives how much money they make and etc…
I miss those days..when you can watch a championship game without all the game inturupting petty call's... Back in the day teams had to actually earn their yardage, and defenses got off the field after a good hit on the QB or a wide receiver... Anyway, thanks for the memories, and all the great games you post.
To be Dan fouts is not a bad thing. White also got injured vs the redskins in 1982 championship. Going toe to toe with Montana wasn’t too bad although Whites fumble cost them the game.
3 times the Cowboys (under Tom Landry) wore their blue jerseys in the NFC Championship Game. In 1978 Dallas wore their royal blue against the Rams in Los Angeles and won 28-0. 2 years later the wore them in Philadelphia and lost 20-7. In the the 1982 NFC Championship Game at Washington, Dallas wore their new navy blue jerseys, but lost 31-17. Guess they needed Roger Staubach get a victory wearing the "blues"
I went to the Vet right after work on the Friday before this game for the limited tix..around 3:00am when the the crowd started to set the old wooden police barriers so they opened the tix window early..it was well worth it
I remember this game. The sportswriters made a big deal of the Eagles forcing Dallas to wear its unlucky blue uniform. And the Cowboys actually changed to a navy jersey the following year.
This one shocked me. The Cowboys & the Raiders would have made a better Super Bowl. As a result, it was a cakewalk for the Raiders crushing the Eagles.
I agree. At the time, a Cowboys vs Raiders Super Bowl would of been an epic game. Some feel it would of been perhaps the greatest matchup in terms of legends playing at the same time. I feel the Cowboys would beat them as they did in the regular season.
Sadly the Cowboys never did play the Raiders in a Super Bowl in spite of there were many scenarios that would have made it very possible (1969, 1970, 1975 among other years) dang it!
Vermeil and the Eagles deserved that win man and the trip to the super bowl.....those Eagles where tough for years on out...gotta Love Vermeil and what he did in that time frame!
I was 9 years old and this was the moment I became a sports fan. I remember the rush I felt and the energy of all the adults in the city. I didn’t fully understand it but I could tell that beating Dallas in the NFC championship game was a very big deal. Good times. Shame we folded in the Super Bowl. Feb 2018 healed that wound. Go Birds!!! 🦅
Mike Ditka was special teams/ receivers coach behind HC Landry for one more year after this season before going to Chicago to be hall of fame head coach.. Also, love the crowd shots... 9:37 The dude in the white shorts and no shirt (-17 degrees wind chill)...classic philly! His buddy is holding a large glass bottle of what appears to be Jacquins Blackberry Brandy (another philly classic)- obviously got passed security!. Also, there was smoking cigarettes in your seats and who could ever forget all the hand made banners from sheets hung all around the Vet.
![1983 AFC Championship Game - SEA @ LA [FULL GAME]](/img/1.gif)
Epic. Philly’s fans are just something different. You can literally feel the energy in the Vet on a 40yr old, rebroadcast, from an iPhone screen!
It's awesome 6 years before I was born go eagles
Yeah, with police dogs on the sidelines, a jail in the stadium and police on horseback in the stadium to boot. Impressive. Lol.
Greatest fans are in all of sports!!!!
Listening and watching two broadcasters Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier are a tremendous feeling that truly enjoyed. I missed them both. RIP 🙏
Me too!😢
Although Im a Raiders fan. I love this game because Wilbert is my uncle. And thats why the Super Bowl was bittersweet for me.
Nice they had a good team that year .lost to the raiders in super bowl I wasnt alive yet I was born in 1981 but love seeing classic teams from 70's nfl Vikings cowboys Redskins rams afc dolphins raiders and steelers
Just sloppy both teams... hard to watch!!
Cool story bro.
Wow, how cool. I was at this game and I loved Wilbert. He carried us on his back to the Super Bowl.
That's cool. Wilbert was a great back. I'm a Raider's fan, but I thought the Eagles that year where cool. Would have been rooting for them if they played anyone else.
NFL should keep putting full games on here, the vintage ones are the best too
Kodak White 💯 percent !
Kodak White head to head hits were common back in the day
Yeah, NFL golden years. Nowadays, they're more like businessmen wearing pads. No real team loyalty, just self-promotion and getting the biggest paycheck possible.
Epictetus of Hierapolis in it for the gain, not the game
I'm grateful the NFL is providing these games but their editing is awful, cutting to the next play while Pat & Tom are still talking.
RIP Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier
never saw any pic of Brookshire's wife until this game. Wow she was good looking!
@@muffs55mercury61 Mrs. Brookie at 1:02:48 and 1:03:32. A lot of those old ball players married the homecoming queens and cheerleader types !

That turf at the Vet finished many careers. It was basically a thin green carpet on a rock hard slab of concrete.
exactly - in segments
Michael Irvin!
Thank God both Eagles and Phillies don't play games with this turf.
I played baseball on a similar surface once--3rd base, I was happy to get out of it in one piece.
@@glst1974 They did back then!

Great to see real football,2 runners in the backfield,quarterback under center,no looking to the sidelines,no stupid stuff in the endzone.Love it
That Wilbert Montgomery was unstoppable. I watched him play when I went to Abilene Christian College in the 70's.
The quality of this recording is just excellent for it's vintage. Thanks so much for sharing.

I was just thinking that. People act like the way he played in the Super Bowl was a freak incident, but he played just as bad this day
Jaworski was an average quarterback, at best.
He never started again after leaving the Eagles
I miss Pat Summerall calling games.
I agree
Biff Roberts so do I, as well as Curt Howdy and a few others.
7:11 where Joe Buck tried (and failed massive) to mimic with Brian M........whatshisname? 22 years later
Me too.
I Don't
The good old days, good old football at good old Veterans Stadium. Eagles fans were pumped, this game was HUGE! Montgomery's TD run was so amazing, it happened right at the perfect time!

Jay Company Totally agree. Classy guy too.
Jay Company your right tony wasn't a showboat.
Hawkeye!!! Was finesse 👌 loved watching him run
It seems Tony dorsett & Dallas cowboys were seems unbeatable if Tony dorsett had 100 yards plus

Tom Brookshier was an underrated analyst.
Sat at the top in section 709....Wilbert's TD run and the crowd reaction. No Super Bowl, but an awesome memory nonetheless.

They sounded extremely loud
wilbert montgomery was one tough running back..
And Jaws was one tough QB!
Louie Giamona as well
Been a huge cowboy fan forever.
Wilbert Montgomery went to ACU in abilene texas.
Few years back ACU built a new stadium and his picture is on the west side with other ACU football greats.
Wow, this was real football, when the game was pure and simple. Exerting your will mentally and physically over your opponent. None of the garbage that is packed into todays game. I miss the old NFL, and I miss the VET.
Summerall and Brookshier were great. Old school football all the way. Love the low-tech graphics.
Beatiful!! jerseys from Cowboys and Eagles. Love you!
True! They don't make 'em at all like they used to!
Remember this Eagles team as a kid, they were so good, I was sure they would win the Super Bowl, but they were just too uptight and the Raiders just had that swagger.
The quality of this video from 1980 is amazing. It must be straight from the 1 inch master.
Wilbert run is a play I'll never forget. I was 15 years old!! That was beautiful!!

Always imagined they had one hell of a time in the 1970's.
The next season CBS would have the greatest broadcasting duo ever in the great Pat Summerall and John Madden
Julian Smith lol
I meant that CBS had Pat Summerall working with John Madden instead of Tom brookshier in 1981
I liked Tom brookshire
I don’t think there will be one like them ever again
@@jimsmith6547 John Madden was better think on Thanksgiving he gave out the turkey leg plus the gold standard of all star teams the All Madden team
The greatest win in Eagles history fly eagles fly!
Not anymore
Even before the Super Bowl win, this was not the greatest win in Eagles history. They won 3 NFL championships prior to the 2017 title.
The video quality is top notch for the early 80’s

This is amazing! The quality is great for the age. Can’t wait to watch the whole game
This game is living proof that mental and emotions can beat physical. Eagles won this game on pure emotion they wanted it the most.
They did, my Cowboys team was spoiled brats, just thought they could just show up & win that game.

To be Dan fouts is not a bad thing. White also got injured vs the redskins in 1982 championship. Going toe to toe with Montana wasn’t too bad although Whites fumble cost them the game.
HD from 1980, thanks for posting this👍
I meant that in 1981 CBS would have the greatest broadcasting duo of all time my favorite Pat Summerall and John Madden were in a class by themselves
I just noticed Jaworski lifts his heels just before the snap. I wonder if any of the teams he was playing against noticed this?
40 years ago today, and we haven’t seen Dallas wear those amazing blues since.
Because of this game they were gone for good
Just pulled them out last week
3 times the Cowboys (under Tom Landry) wore their blue jerseys in the NFC Championship Game. In 1978 Dallas wore their royal blue against the Rams in Los Angeles and won 28-0. 2 years later the wore them in Philadelphia and lost 20-7. In the the 1982 NFC Championship Game at Washington, Dallas wore their new navy blue jerseys, but lost 31-17. Guess they needed Roger Staubach get a victory wearing the "blues"
Wilbert was one of the best backs the eagles ever had so under rated
I went to the Vet right after work on the Friday before this game for the limited tix..around 3:00am when the the crowd started to set the old wooden police barriers so they opened the tix window early..it was well worth it
Do you remember getting a poster at the game that said “Dallas shot JR”?
What's really odd, is the fact that Danny White was not only the Cowboys starting QB, but also their starting punter...
Danny white was a great punters: Danny white didn't make people forget Roger dodger starback
🏍️ Yeah, Dallas's punter was never late getting on the field.
@@mikethebike2456 as a punter or quarterback had his chance of going to the superbowl vs san francisco 49er 1981 (danny white)
Dan Pastarini used to quarterback and punt for the Oilers back in the day too. Landry did bring in a punter on the roster later for White.
just hearing some of the names on both sides of the ball..brung back a lot of memories...a couple of those guys have passed away
Tony Franklin? He was the Patriots' kicker in Super Bowl XX.
I remember this game. The sportswriters made a big deal of the Eagles forcing Dallas to wear its unlucky blue uniform. And the Cowboys actually changed to a navy jersey the following year.
@Jane Gold 🏍️ Maybe.
@Jane Gold Probably , cause TooTall Jones was off-sides but got away with it…10-point lead with 5 mins to play!!!
And they won their first game in new navy blue jersey in the season opener in Washington 26-10
I love those Cowboys dark jerseys.
Horrible 🤮
Thank you NFL for putting these games up.
Congratulations on beating the Vikings, Eagles fans!
Best Cowboys uniform ever. Jersey wasn't cursed.....Danny White was.
First of 3 consecutive losses for the Cowboys in the NFC Championship game.
This one shocked me. The Cowboys & the Raiders would have made a better Super Bowl. As a result, it was a cakewalk for the Raiders crushing the Eagles.
I agree. At the time, a Cowboys vs Raiders Super Bowl would of been an epic game. Some feel it would of been perhaps the greatest matchup in terms of legends playing at the same time. I feel the Cowboys would beat them as they did in the regular season.
Sadly the Cowboys never did play the Raiders in a Super Bowl in spite of there were many scenarios that would have made it very possible (1969, 1970, 1975 among other years) dang it!
If they had played each other in the 1980 Super Bowl, it would of been epic.
YES for sure
Vermeil and the Eagles deserved that win man and the trip to the super bowl.....those Eagles where tough for years on out...gotta Love Vermeil and what he did in that time frame!
Eagles lost to Giants in 81 playoff, never won div. title again in the 80s.
I was stationed in Germany when this game was played and this is the first time I am seeing it. Go Eagles!
🏍️ Think the power was out when i was 15. First time watchin.
I was 9 years old and this was the moment I became a sports fan. I remember the rush I felt and the energy of all the adults in the city. I didn’t fully understand it but I could tell that beating Dallas in the NFC championship game was a very big deal. Good times. Shame we folded in the Super Bowl. Feb 2018 healed that wound. Go Birds!!! 🦅
"Montgomery at his best when he can pick a hole!" Sounds like buffet night at the Blue Oyster Bar.
If I'm not mistaken this was the last year before John Madden joined Pat Summeraul in the booth.
love the games from the 80's.
Suuuuper!! Eagles!! from 1980.
we could use another running back like Wilbert right now
Loving the behind the scenes Collage, Whoever made this sure does know their shapes and numbers..
9:38 the 2 drunk shirtless guys LOL
I have a good memory about those two guys in the stands--but don't know where they are now! Unfortunately that game was not played in Dallas!
I remember when the Cowboys lost this game, one or two weeks later they announced they were going to make a change in the blue jerseys for 1981
That ref at 9:55 lmao. He didnt even know what hit em
Mike Ditka was special teams/ receivers coach behind HC Landry for one more year after this season before going to Chicago to be hall of fame head coach..
Also, love the crowd shots... 9:37 The dude in the white shorts and no shirt (-17 degrees wind chill)...classic philly! His buddy is holding a large glass bottle of what appears to be Jacquins Blackberry Brandy (another philly classic)- obviously got passed security!. Also, there was smoking cigarettes in your seats and who could ever forget all the hand made banners from sheets hung all around the Vet.
The Cowboys were very lucky to beat Atlanta the week before no way were they winning this
That wasn't luck, they were down by 10 points with less than 6:30 left in the fourth quarter.
🏍️ Not in Philly, anyway.
