NFL Game of the Week

Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys, 1974 (10x12)

Air date: Dec 07, 1974

On Thanksgiving Day 1974, the Dallas Cowboys were desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Washington Redskins kept up their word to knock Dallas QB Roger Staubach out. But that only produced a golden moment in Cowboys history, and untested rookie quarterback Clint Longley engineered it. Later the NFL would consider this 24-23 Dallas comeback the greatest regular-season game of 1974.
