Cowboys (0-0) vs Browns (0-0)
September 1, 1991
Play by Play - Jim Nantz
Color Commentator - Hank Stram

[@dalebechtel8904]

Very young Jim Nantz one of my favorite announcers today

[@reverend_wintondupree]

If not mistaken this was his first NFL on CBS game called in the booth.

[@scottcamp9266]

Notice Emmitt never came out of the game…the complete back….GOAT👏🏻❤️💪🏾👊🏿🔥☝🏿

[@timburr4453]

1989, 1-15. Could've easily went 0-16 By 1991 Cowboys were a legit playoff team

[@jordansanders4854]

Between Johnson, Belichick, and Saban, that's 8 Super Bowls and 8 national titles (as HC) on the field.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

A RARE coaching matchup: Bill Belichick vs Jimmy Johnson

[@joerules829]

Only happened once.

[@reverend_wintondupree]

​@@joerules829We were robbed of the '94 rematch

[@fideltorres6380]

Wow Hank Stram...the guy is a legend.

[@BCwriter84]

The athleticism, youth and talent of Dallas very apparent in this game. Jimmie knew he was sitting on a powder keg after he loaded up on picks off the Walker deal. Then hit on a bunch of them.

[@rgtunderworldrgt7773]

Mostly Missed. 12 rds back then Less than half played 2 seasons or Less. When he hit he hit big tho. You purposely misrepresented the facts tho

[@brockgeorge777]

Ahhh. After 2 years of being the dregs and laughing stock of the league a win to begin the season that showed Dallas was no longer a punching bag with eyeballs. …though in a couple of games the Eagles were to show there was still some real “work to do”.

[@reverend_wintondupree]

Also the only time Kosar played against Jimmy Johnson.

[@jamiejohnson4524]

Kosar would be unceremoniously cut by the Browns in the middle of the 1993 season. Johnson picked him up and Kosar got a SB ring serving as Aikman’s backup.

[@reverend_wintondupree]

@@jamiejohnson4524 And would play again under Johnson again in 1996, his last season in the NFL/Johnson's first with the Dolphins.

[@Mark-xl1ze]

The Cowboys' first win at the Browns since 1970 and their first of three wins over Bill Belichick as a head coach.

[@celticprideisstillalive8766]

Over 30 years in between victories

[@cbod14]

The beginning of Dallas’ return to glory. You can see the difference that Norv Turner was going to make with the team immediately

[@rkid727]

I remember watching this and immediately could tell Aikman was a different player than the year before.

[@deputy3690]

Just seeing Jimmy on the Dallas sideline is pure confidence and imminent success.

[@OfficialGrizzly]

Thanks for the upload, been wanting to see the full game 🏈

[@scottcamp9266]

Jimmy is the superior coach.

[@cs292]

1:00:00 that route by Irvin..wow.

[@shanetrimble9265]

Yes I remember the NFC East played the AFC Central in 1991. The Redskins clobbered the Browns.

[@reverend_wintondupree]

The only AFC Central wins against the NFC East in '91: Bengals over NYG Houston over Dallas

[@shanetrimble9265]

@@reverend_wintondupree Wow the East really dominated.

[@timburr4453]

Metcalf was so damn good

[@brockgeorge777]

This is perfect example of where time-of-possession does matter. Namely when you get at least a couple of TD’s and several field goals. By running off 29 extra plays and holding the ball for more than an extra quarter, Cleveland simply didn’t get enough plays (46) to score enough to win.

[@crawford371]

Belichick 1st game

[@ytownblue107]

Was at the game as an Ohio Cowboys fan. Was almost 21 at the time and had been a fan since the Staubach days

[@fideltorres6380]

I like this football way better than todays game. Now the league and networks make the game an annoying show, for example they keep showing Talyor Swift in the stands and so much hoop la. Since Goodell took over the NFL has changed for the worse.

[@1981expos]

Nate Newton playing tackle. I forgot

[@fideltorres6380]

This is %100 football, todays game is too gimmicky....

[@AVH-z9m]

Miss the NFL of this era.

[@rgtunderworldrgt7773]

Let it go or watch videos Era are meant to Go, change. That's How life works. Always evolves, Never Stays the same. Zero idea why you Dinosaurs Always btch n moan about the old times. Every old guy from Every era thinks His era was the best Geeeze

[@TobyBartlett-gx9pi]

Jimmy Johnson and the Cowboys would have been better than Belichick and the Patriots in the greatest era of the NFL of all time.

[@TobyBartlett-gx9pi]

The commentator criticizing Emmitt Smith on his first carry of the game for carrying the ball in his left hand and not switching to his right. Bad take on the greatest rb of all time and was great at holding on to the football and carried it in his left hand for 18,000 yards lol

[@speedyeagle2.25]

1:10:55

[@Espiropapas]

@15:43 Did pass interference use to give such a big penalty?? 32 YARDS??

[@jasonvessels]

thats free with gunner henderson

[@Nonsense1986]

Around 50:13 why does Jim Nantz say we have a feature match in tennis? I didn't realize tennis is like wrestling and has jobber matches too lol.

[@rjpsuh06]

Which Jim Nantz do you like? The one in this game with Hank Stram or the one today who works with Tony Romo? Jim has been a part of CBS NFL coverage for years (1988-90, part-time, 1991-93 and 1998-2003 on the NFL Today and 2004-present as #1 announcer)

[@cs292]

53:40 love those lead draws…they work so well.

[@deputy3690]

Hank knows.

[@DoubleStar92]

Thank you Jaime!
