Captain Comeback Roger Staubach!! Definitely one of the most amazing comebacks in NFL history.

[@williamhicks7736]

I really enjoy the part where Larry Cole falls to ground and rolls around on the field! LOL! I would too! What a comeback! Roger Staubach was great!

This was also the same day as Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception. It was a great day of football playoff games.

This was the birth of Americas Team it was electrifying fun to watch candlestick park has had some wild shootouts

[@Threepster]

Unbelievable. That onside scissor kick by Fritsch. The grinning winning catch by Sellers. Dodger with two touchdown passes in 90 seconds. Just unreal.

[@anthonybrooks5040]

This would be the last playoff meeting between these two until the legendary '81 NFC title game, again right there in Candlestick Park.

December 23, 1972, was BLACK SUNDAY FOR BAY AREA FOOTBALL FANS.

Looking back at these classic Cowboys-49ers playoff battles, it's crazy to think of all the implications that came from this one. It established Staubach as the true starter for Dallas, and was the first of his legendary comebacks. On the other hand it basically ended Morton's career in Dallas and on the other side of the ball it was the beginning of the end for both John Brodie and coach Dick Nolan

And so the legend "ROGER THE DODGER" was born...he and drew my 2 favorite boys ever!!

I remember thinking "It's over!" when Staubach fumbled on his first possession. Perhaps if Gossett had made that FG, it would have been.

During the incredible career of Roger Staubach and MANY 4th quarter comeback victories, THIS particular unlikely comeback was his greatest. The 49ers were a very strong team. Too bad there had to be a loser on this day. Much respect to them.🏈

[@markminter6312]

One of the worst collapses in NFL playoff history. There is literally no way San Francisco should have lost this game. This game killed the franchise for the remainder of the 1970's.

Game Plan for Sudden Death is such an iconic track. Seems like every NFL Films highlight had it when there was a close game late.

[@Famijoly]

This game should live more in football lore than the game earlier the same day, which was the Steelers' 13-7 win over the Raiders on a crazy fourth-down play in the closing seconds. In this game, the 49ers were kicking the sluggish Cowboys all over the field, and since there was no two-point conversion at the time, the Cowboys were down three scores with time running out. And they pulled it out! They got off the deck and scored 17 points on the road to win 30-28. The next week the Cowboys went back to their sluggish ways and were crushed by Washington, 26-3, in the NFC Championship Game.

This game was the start of Roger Staubach's 4th quarter comebacks. The Cowboys and 49ers have along and storied tradition of post season battles. 1970, 1971, 1972, 1981, 1992,1993, 1994 and 2021 are the ones that I remember.

[@redbaronreborn3372]

Though he Qb the Cowboys to their 1st SB the year previous,this game was the beginning of Roger Staubach's legend!

[@drbonesshow1]

Five turnovers and yet the Cowpokes still won in miraculous fashion.
