1981 San Francisco 49ers week 6 vs. Dallas Cowboys

49ers (3-2) look to avenge 59-14 loss to the Cowboys (4-1) the year before.

I was there photographing the game for the Oroville Mercury-Register. I will never forget the tone of the cheering at the end of the first quarter. It was like the feeling of a first kiss. Little did we know.

With Pat & John on the mic too!! 🔥

This was the game when I realized the 49ers had a chance to go all the way. Fred Dean was the addition that put them over the top......,

[@mayhemjr.803]

Dean was a MONSTER that game.

As a diehard Niner fan NOTHING brings more joy to my heart then a Dallas Cowboys beat down!!

[@mayhemjr.803]

I watched that whole game in utter disbelief. It was beautiful. It was like " hey we arrived!"

[@Northunderland]

This was a total revenge game. The previous year these teams played in Dallas and the Cowboys put up 59 points!

[@mayhemjr.803]

We got humiliated at Texas Stadium the year before

[@Northunderland]

@@mayhemjr.803 Yep, but the niners more than made up for it.

[@mayhemjr.803]

The game that Howard Cosell and ABC REFUSED to show the next night on Halftime Highlights of MNF. They totally disrespected my Niners! As a 13 year old I cursed Howard and ABC the rest of my life. How DARE they!😂
