My Mom, God rest her, took me to the Cowboys game that year when I was 9 years old. Don’t let the sunshine in the highlights fool you, it was cold and windy as hell in that stadium and in the shade it was colder still. Getting to see Roger Staubach was a blast, but being able to say that I was there for Tommy Nobis’ final NFL interception was something else. It’s criminal that he’s not in the Hall of Fame. And John Facenda over the Sam Spence Orchestra score? Always epic. The NFL in the ‘70s (or at least NFL Films) is old skool ball at its best.

Billy Pritchett is buried near my son in Dallas. Came across his beautiful headstone and started to research him to assist my grief. 4:43 is his only touchdown recorded in his career. I Hope he rode that high his whole life.

Dallas was 9-1-0 and tied with the Raiders (9-1-0) for the best record in the NFL when Atlanta upset the Cowboys.

No one realized how good that defense would be in 1977. IMO it was slightly better than the 1985 Bears, simply because the 1977 Falcons couldn't score points or control the ball - yet Atlanta still gave up the fewest points ever in a 14-game season. The 129 points they surrendered might have been less than 100 if the offense could simply have held onto the ball and shortened the game.

The 85 Bears offense didn't exactly light up the scoreboard either.
