Al Michaels is the only one left from the old school and he makes the game interesting. Most of today's announcers are about as colorful as soggy raisin bran.

Redskin Captain All Pro linebacker Chris Hanburger called a fantastic game. Hanburger called every defense from the huddle, no ear piece in his helmet, no coach in the press box telling him what to call, he did this all on his own, down and distance, identifying Cowboys player personnel packages, adjusting his calls based on Redskins nickel and dime personnel ,he knew everyone’s assignment on the defense, and had over 250 audibles memorized . You can see how many times he calls an audible and the defense shifts into the perfect defense for the cowboys offensive play. His pre snap play recognition was legendary and his audibles and adjustments made everyone on the defense better players. It was the final year of his great HOF career as he retired after the season and as Don Meredith commented, he clearly had lost a step after 13 seasons , but still had a pretty solid year playing a few months after knee surgery. ( 4 sacks , 5 delivery sacks, 2 batted balls , 2 forced fumbles )The Cowboys lined up DuPree on Hanburger most of the game , Landry knew very well you had to account for him or he would beat you with a big play, which he did so many times during his Hall of Fame career. IMO, the biggest play of the game was at 2:04:38 -48 , fourth quarter , game clock 2:32 ,Cowboys last possession when Staubach rolls left and Hanburger vacates his zone coverage and blitzes blasting him in the head coming over the top hitting his arm and causing a weak wobbly pass . They flag him for unnecessary roughness and Staubach wasn’t the same after that hit. Staubach gets right up and he’s wobbly as he walks and it takes a few seconds before he realizes his helmet is crooked , which Hanburger almost ripped off . He also turns around to see who blasted him , lol. Hanburger’s nickname was the “General” for his no nonsense , take charge military style of leadership he demonstrated , as he’s heading back to the defensive huddle he’s already thinking about his defensive alignment and he’s letting Kenny Houston know what he wants the secondary in for the next play and you see Houston letting Chris know he heard him. 2:05:13-14 Coach Landry realized Hanburgers delivery sack left Staubach disorientated because The Cowboys run the ball on the next two plays , after the two minute warning and a timeout. Staubach attempts one more pass, then takes a delay of game and his last pass attempt is way overthrown. Totally uncharacteristic of Roger in the fourth quarter of any game he played. Hanburgers “knockdown “ of Staubach , as they call it today , aka “ delivery sack” was the term George Allen used for it, was the biggest play of the game. Too bad MNF didn’t keep that camera shot rolling to show how ferocious the hit was, Gifford and Don stayed with the throw but they could see Staubach got blasted , which they tell us. The newspapers writers ,mostly from Dallas talked about it and wrote that after Hanburgers hit on Roger he wasn’t the same. Chris Hanburger , HOF 2011, was either an All Pro, All NFC, All NFL, or a Pro Bowler in 12 of his 14 seasons in the NFL. He was the 1972 NFC Defensive player of the year. He was selected to the Pro Bowl TEN times, but is only credited with NINE, as he could not play in the 1977 game due to his knee injury . In the era he played the coach’s and players voted for the Pro Bowl Team. Class act, great player, served his country in the US Army and humble. He wanted no accolades or any fanfare. They don’t make players like this anymore.

Now I'm going to tell you what you didn't know about this game. The Redskins noticed while watching film that when the Cowboys had the ball, running back Robert Newhouse would let his mouthpiece hang out on plays when the Cowboys were going to pass and would stick it in his mouth on running plays when he knew he was going to have to block for Tony Dorsett. The result was the Cowboy offense sputtered in this 9-5 loss. The two teams played again on Thanksgiving Day, only this time, the Cowboys knew about the Newhouse situation. So Dallas turned the tables. On running plays Newhouse let his mouthpiece dangle from his facemask, and stuck it in his mouth on passing plays. The Redskins took the bait. The Cowboys cruised to a 20-0 halftime lead and eventually built the lead to 37-3 in a 37-10 win. The things teams find when they study film is amazing.

This was a great time in Pro Football. Now we have the um, Commanders (lame). They will always be the Redskins.

This is extraordinarily high quality video from a 70s TV broadcast. Having attended many Redskins games at RFK, the audio, which has an nice analog quality to it, really captures the ebbs and flows of the crowd and generally the ambience of the stadium. It’s amazing how loud that stadium could get with 55,000 fans. I’ve watched several videos of old games but this video brought back the sensory experience so fondly remembered. Thanks for sharing!

You missed the key play, when hanburger rocks Staubach and gets a penalty.

Remember this game like yesterday. My aunt was in a MNF office pool where you purchase blocks and had the Redskins score ending in 9 and the Cowboys ending with a 5. She knew nothing about football and asked what the odds were of her winning. When told they were not good due to scores rarely ending in 9 and 5, she went to bed. Of course the Redskins were leading 9-3, with the ball, running out the clock. They took a delay of game with three seconds left, then Theisman runs into the end zone for a safety. We stormed my aunt's bedroom and woke her up to tell her she won 25 bucks! What a country. 🙂

I watched this game with my friends in my college dorm. I remember it well.

Roy Jefferson was seated just a few rows behind us. We were in the home plate corner of the end zone where the safety occurred to end the game. I thought C. Waters was gonna force a fumble. When dad was in his 80’s, I took him to a Nats game at RFK. We sat in the same corner, just a section higher in the stands.

ABC Sports had a busy day on this Monday. That afternoon ABC broadcast the famous Yankees/Red Sox one game playoff from Boston. In addition Howard Cosell had a busy week. After this game he flew to Kansas City for the ALCS Game 1.

Those were the good old days.

Look how dark the lights are compared to modern stadiums.

Attended high school in Fairfax Co., VA, just outside of D.C. from 82-86. There was nothing like Cowboys vs. Redskins at R.F.K. Stadium.

I was supposed to go to bed but I stayed up to watch this.

OMG, Howard Cosel and Monday night football in RFK. Couldn't get any better than that. I was at a football camp run by lb Harold McClinton during the summer. Redskins were pretty good that period.

Frank's expert play by play is truly legendary, so fantastic to watch. Today's play by play crews are so stale and boring (except for perhaps Jim Nantz and Al Michaels.)

The good ol days dallas just come off winning the super bowl and made it back this season only to loose to Pittsburgh smh 😓

Man the game was way more physical then just not as fast

It was a faster game than you think. For one thing, the neutral zone which was enlarged in 1992 or '94, I forget which, was smaller then, the qb could feel the heat quicker, few teams used the "shotgun", and as soon as that qb planted his back foot, that ball had to be out within a second at the most, or the qb was sacked. This game was post-offensive line blocking rule changes that gave the qb a little more time thanx to extended arms and hands blocking, but that skinnier neutral zone still made it tough on off. linemen and particularly the center who could be lined up directly against=nose tackle straight across and in the face of the center, back then. And that nute zone made it hard on qbs. In addition, because of defense friendly rules, backs had to hit the hole quicker back then, too. It was a much different game..really..no comparison.

Wow. I can't believe it. 💪

Howard really knew how to hype a game.

Watching this game brings back some great memories. I used to live in Virginia and went to 2 games at RFK. I started watching Monday night football in 1972 and I watched almost every game and I was a die hard NFL Monday night football fan because at age 10 living in Virginia the game started at 9PM to midnight.

7 pm in Utah was the perfect football game time.

Quarterback Joe Theismann from my hometown SOUTH RIVER NJ.

DC Redskins!

I love this. I remember watching this when I was 15 yrs old. The Redskins started the season 6-0, but finished 8-8. This was the first year of the 16-game schedule (1978). The Cowboys won Super Bowl XII and was the powerhouse in the NFC. I thought for sure Roger would do his last minute heroics, but it wasn't to be. Nevertheless, Theismann almost gave it away if he fumbled instead of the safety in the end zone on the very last play of the game.

Don Meredith: "these two guys (Landry & Pardee as players) didn't know how so much so they kept asking why and I guess they make good coaches when they keep asking why" These announcers are great. Meredith is underrated as an analyst. But Frank did screw up and call it "JFK STADIUM" several times...

I remember My dad took me to this game in 1978 this was my first Cowboys game.
