This is a great download. TV timeouts with no commercials, Sumerall and Madden talking when they were supposed to be off line, fantastic!

My friend and I went to the game thinking that if it was close, the 49ers had a chance. If not, then at least we got to see the Cowboys. We did not expect a 49ers rout. Fred Dean was unstoppable. At the end of the 1st quarter, we all stood up and applauded, but were still in shock. Did the teams switch uniforms? We heard someone yell "Super Bowl!" and thought "Uh, let's not get ahead of ourselves." Boy, was that guy right!

Thanks for this. I’m downloading EVERY Summerall/Madden game, regardless of the teams, regardless of the result. Their call is entertaining all on its own.

this was the break out season for the 49ers organization...not only did they beat Dallas on national tv , but they also beat the LA Rams twice, after having lost 10 consecutive games against the Rams, taking over dominance of the NFC West that the Rams had a hold on for almost 10 years..

Weeks later the '9ers crush the Steelers and many feel that was the changing of the guard - the end of one dynasty and the beginning of a new one. But I think this game was the beginning of the 49ers '80's dynasty. The blowout of the Cowboys was the first top team they took down - when they probably first believed THEMSELVES that they were a great team. I think this game was the birth of the dynasty. The Steeler game was the significant changing of the guard game, and SB sealed it that they were THE team to beat. Great copy, Richard Waldrup!

The best short passing team ever in San Francisco. Joe Montana has been doing this kind of thing since Notre Dame, so it was a shock, but not necessarily a surprise to me. We should all know it only takes one play to mess up a team psychologically, and that's exactly what happened. In other words, may I be so bold as calling this a "death penalty on the field(referring to the death penalty that happened to SMU)" for Dallas and a "new era" for the 49ers.

The 49ers were 3-2 coming into this game but would win all but one of their remaining games en route to the Super Bowl. Never did I expect at the time that this would be such a rout. Revenge for the 59-14 loss the previous year. Fred Dean and Ronnie Lott had an amazing game here. When Roger Craig came to the team a few years later, the 49er offense was even more potent. Now it's been 40 years and I still love watching this game and the others of that era. Freddie Solomon's pass at 17:30 was one great play.

***** I give the 49ers credit if anything on the last drive. They mixed runs and passes quite nicely. Walsh brought the WCO to SF from his days in Cincinnati. He didn't create it, and that myth remains. The Cowboys defense didn't exactly have the best personnel vs the 49ers offense. But yet, it came down to a 3rd down and a freakish play whether you want to agree or not. I have yet to see it since but despite that the Cowboys almost erased it in one play. As for the horse collar tackle , it's not hypothetical, it's just an honest assessment since the rules have changed. Yes, the 49ers broke threw and recovered the White fumble but history was almost reversed on that last drive.

@@keithantigiovanni2794 so agree, I hate the revisionist history about Dallas. I would say the beginning of the end of Dallas was week 14 of 83 when Washington thrashed them and essentially won the division, relegated Dallas to a WC spot where they lost at home to the Rams in a non sell out in Irving. Then that led to folks souring on Danny white, who lost his job to Hogeboom for most of 84, they miss the playoffs by a game and the aging core scraped by a division title in 85. Once White got hurt in 86 and went from 6-2 to 7-9, that was it for Landry and Dallas, but it def wasn’t the end cuz of any of the losses in 1981.

Also Fred Dean's 49er debut after being acquired in a trade from San Diego; and what a debut it was (collecting 6 sacks). Not bad for a guy at the center of a bluff Bill Walsh gave to John Madden about how the 49ers supposedly wouldn't use Dean much since he just arrived.

+Mark De Peppo Guess that's what I get for going mainly off Wikipedia. On a side note, this is the first game I've seen on the Internet that apparently came from the "truck" feed (thus no sighting of commercials; sponsor info or not seeing any updates with Brent Musburger). Interesting view of the game from the production crew's vantage point.

@daniel anderson CBS probably would have stuck with the game had it not turned into a blowout

I was 13 at the time.Come over to my brother's place (He was 18 rabid Niner fan) Its midway through the 2nd quarter and his eyes were gleaming and he says "We are going to the Superbowl" and I was like "Nawww...REALLY?" Then I saw the score and I was convinced.

Long forgotten was that after the Dwight TD catch Dallas rallied but was brought down by a horse collar tackle on what would have been a huge play putting them in field goal range.

Put Danny White on the Dean's List Fred Dean rest in peace and Dwight Clark rest in peace two great players that put 49ers on the map

The Niners returned the favor from the 1980 "Boys blowout. Alright!!😃😃🏈🏈

Back in the day, I really had no dog in any of these fights, just loved to watch these guys play (kudos to John Dutton and Willie Harper, of course). So darned much talent in these games.

Hard to believe both teams met in the NFC championship title gm.(the catch that broke Dallas Cowboys fans hearts&Vin Scully broadcast that gm. With stu Ham &was probably one of the greatest gms.ever played in San Francisco, CA.28-27 was the final on jan.11th.1982& still a Cowboys fan !

This is the first time I've ever seen this type of broadcast. I think they are (were) called "direct feeds" and you could tune them in on the old satellite dishes of that era.

RIP John Madden

thanks for uploading! Who knew at the time the 49er's would soon become a dynasty. Not to mention the Redskins won their 1st game that week against Chicago under Gibbs.

Correct. Nobody knew that the 49ers would become a dynasty while watching this game. But a few special Fans knew the capabilities of Notre Dame Legend Joe Montana. I was one of them.

Man, Guy Benjamin stunk! No wonder they got rid of him and picked up Young. I was a teen when i saw this game. I didn’t realize how much Benjamin stunk. Good thing Montana didn’t get hurt that year.

Hilarious! Never realized at 15:08 Lawrence Pillers causes the fumble on Danny White and then Jim Stuckey recovered the ball. In the NFC Championship, that same exact thing happened with White fumbling due to Pillers and the Stuckey recovers it to seal the game.

It was good to fumble the opening kickoff that year. Niners did it in both the NFC Championship Game & the Super Bowl.

There are just some days that not only does nothing go right, everything goes wrong. This for the most part was true for the Cowboys in this game.

Reminds me of how good Summerall and Madden were.

I didn't watch this game when it was played but I remember the highlights afterwards,back then anytime Dallas lost big it was big news and the whole country cheered.They were the team everyone hated during the 70's and 80's,at least first half of the eighties because they were so good.Kind of like the equivalent of the Belichick era Patriots

+Carlton cherry jr I posted the 1982 NFC Championship game on Google Plus, because the NFL banned the 1st half from KZread. I have the Redskins vs Saints WK 1 posted on GP also. Haven't found the Lions/Redskins playoff game, but I got the Redskins vs Lions 1990 comeback game instead. Be sure to add me back to your circles on Google Plus. Thanks.

Classic John Madden! "The 49ers are pointing that it's against Dallas, some kind of illegal block. They have a lot of things going now. They have the old fashioned clip that we used to have. And they have blocking above the waist and blocking below the waist from behind and legal blocks. A lot of good stuff, good stuff here now. But it'll be some stuff against Dallas." ~John Madden : kzread.info/dash/bejne/nIWLr6WFdJjJZMY.html
