I remember watching this game and then years later seeing it replayed on NFL's Greatest Games. Atlanta controlled most of the game, but in the fourth quarter even their players acknowledged feeling the game slipping away, despite leading 27-17 at one point.
Danny white took over in 1980 cause roger retired and only reason Falcons lost was we stop playin offense and lemon bennett saw Rankin smith Sr lookin and said cowboys have it so they can go to candlestick n lose 28-27 on the catch for 49ers in superbowl..
I loved Vin Scully calling NFL football games. He was fantastic! I remember watching this game as a 12 year old praying for a miracle in my parents room.
Great game for sure. One that TRUE Cowboys fans will never forget. I remember the ending with the missed extra point. I really liked Steve Bartkowski as well.
This was the real cowboys in their final winning years, along with anyone else who played before this...it wasn't until tom landry was rudely fired as the awful jerry jones takeover too place that they become something only called Cowboys, but never would be again...true cowboys were anytime prior to jerry jones era...
Danny White had some magic inside of him just as staubach did. This would have been a big embarrassment to lose to the falcons. Because the cowboys had all the experience and all the talent needed to win big games.

White was a great qb. He had some sour luck. He could have won a title and been remembered as one of the greats if a few things went his way
