the Vikings lead 14-10 with under 1 minuet left. With the cowboys deep in their own half. It would be up to one of the greatest QBs of all time that is well known for coming from behind in big games to do it again.
@6400az One obvious thing that both the Vikings and the Rams lacked during the 1970's...great reserve players, i.e. a bench...that's one thing that the Cowboys had, which is why, the Cowboys are probably the team of the 1970's...
The 4th and 17 was a tough catch, but the Hail Mary was bizzare when you look at it closely.
The pass was underthrown, Pearson made the adjustment and slowed down. At about the 17 yrd line, Nate Wrigh is lost. He takes his eye of the ball as he looks for Pearson. That instant allows for him to lose sight of the ball and not make the adjustment like Pearson. Finally, Pearson caught the ball with his wrist AND his hip !!
The pussy official deserved to get hit because he cheated the Vikings out of winner the game. Plus, the jerk official was an obvious Obama supporter!
I thought the Vikings should not have been in that position to start with. make no excuse for them even though I was a diehard fan back then.Anyway, look at Mark Mullaney getting tackled @ 2:00.
everyone always brings up the the non-call on pearsons TD, did he or didnt he push off? I think the refs should have called it, only because they owed the vikings one.If you watch the 4th and the ball game play,you will see alan page get hog tied and taken down from behind. I remember watching the game and screaming at the tv set over this non-call.The cowboys did out play the vikes most of this game. But i belive the vikes got the shaft in the end
@GemCan78
You might get an argument that the Steelers are the team of the 70's, not the Cowboys.

Hmmm, yea maybe. The Vikings could'nt play in January, they just could'nt play...with or without backups.
