1979-10-28 Dallas Cowboys vs Pittsburgh Steelers

[@tomfrankiewicz7951]

Two great teams. I really miss this era of the NFL. Thank you for posting this video

[@charlieyellowstone8248]

I was a little too young for that era but I missed the entire 1980s and 1990s era football. And to be honest if you're the 2000 season to about 2010 wasn't too bad either but after 2010 it sure went downhill.

[@davester1970]

Truly the closest the NFL ever got to a true Hall of Fame game. At least 20 players who played that day would eventually get enshrined in Canton as well as another 10 who should have been.

[@aefl3277]

I miss it too, the rules were way more balanced and you could have great teams. Free agency, cap have insured mediocrity and add to that rule changes have made playing defense almost impossible

[@BobCat623923]

This was the best era of the NFL

[@LawrenceMcCoy-p7s]

The late great Pat Summerall... Rest in peace to one of greatest to ever call a game.... He is sorly missed...

[@mullet53]

Thank you for loading this. It's a very important game in the history of football in this era. Although the Cowboys won another divisional championship, Roger Staubach said the beating he took in this game (23:27) was one factor that resulted in his retirement after the season. For the Steelers, they took particular joy in winning against a team they despised.

[@JamalMcCoy-kt5zf]

The greatest rivalry in NFL history... So many Hall of famers in this one game... Thank you 😊 for the upload!!!

[@ronaldzent6321]

Good year to be a Pittsburgh sports fan Pirates won ( thier last one) world series Steelers won their 4th Superbowl (1980) against The Rams. Remember watching the game at a place called Raleigh Hills, it was a drug/Alcoholic Rehab place in Newport Beach, my mom was there for several days. I had struggles with it too, she's been gone 20 years( end of March)and I quit on my own with help and prayer, 24 years now, doing pretty good, even no beer either.

This was the best all around team in NFL history... 70's Steelers

[@davester1970]

Many of the greatest players who ever played in the NFL played in this game. At least 20 players from both teams as well as both head coaches would go on to be enshrined in Canton as well as another 10 players who should have been.

[@edg5218]

70's Steelers all pretty much the same team 4 SB wins 2 back to back in 6 yrs plus all their other achievements and hall of fame players ! I think they will be the best NFL team to ever play the game for many yrs to come !

[@deputy3690]

I would say the 90's Cowboys were in my opinion.

[@edg5218]

@@deputy3690 90s cowboys were good but they won 2 SBs from the Bills who like most AFC teams of the 90s weren't as competitive as the NFC. Then u have SB 30 where u can thank Neil O'Donnell as your Mvp. U look at the stats and the Steelers out played them in almost every aspect of the game.Take away the 2 ints that he threw and Steelers win that one. But a win is still a win. But no way were the 90s Cowboys better than the 70s Steelers.

[@deputy3690]

@Ed G The Cowboys demolished the Forty Niners in the Championship game two years in row and outscored the Bills 82-30 in the two Super Bowls. The Cowboys were bigger and quicker than those Steeler teams to. Although we will never know which team was superior for sure, it is fun debating.

[@gelandres]

Half of the hits in this game would be illegal today. You had to be made of something special to play in those days.

If you thought Steelers/Cowboys was a blood feud in the 70’s, try Steelers/Raiders during same period.

🏍️ Small minded football fans will never understand that 'America's Team' isn't about being the best in the league. It's about hype, drama, worth, sales, television. Whoever wins the Super Bowl still loses the Money Bowl to Dallas. I live 1000 miles from Texas, but one year recently all 16 games were televised. 📺

[@deputy3690]

Dallas had more total wins in the 1970's than Pittsburgh.

[@davester1970]

That’s because the NFC was weak during that decade. The only two teams the Cowboys had to really fear during the 70’s was the Vikings and the Rams. The Steelers not only played in the toughest division in the AFC Central with the Oilers, Browns and Bengals, they also had to go through the Raiders and the Dolphins to get to the Super Bowl.
