Roger Staubach Discusses a Late Hit He Received In Philadelphia And Craig Morton
2 minutes
In 1971, Morton began the season as the starter, but after a loss to the New Orleans Saints, Staubach assumed the role. However, in a game against the Chicago Bears during the seventh week of that season, coach Tom Landry alternated Staubach and Morton on each play, sending in the quarterbacks with the play call from the sideline. Dallas gained almost 500 yards of offense but committed seven turnovers that resulted in a 23–19 loss to a mediocre Bears squad that dropped the Cowboys to 4–3 for the season, two games behind the Washington Redskins in the NFC East race.

5x Super Bowl Champ Charles Haley | The Pivot Podcast w/ Channing Crowder, Fred Taylor & Ryan Clark / 5x Super Bowl Champion- 49er Cowboy and Hall of Famer Charles Haley joins The Pivot Podcast this week in a rare sit down and look back into his life on and off the field.
As a player who spent his storied career avoiding the media and cameras off the field, the NFL’s long time bad boy doesn’t come in softly and fires off from the start, letting the guys know- Franchises don’t make the players, the players make the franchises.
Alluding that this generation of players is softer than it was back in his day- Haley admits he doesn't watch much football because it's different now. “I’d talk about your mom, your wife , your kids, friends whoever because I needed to know who I’m playing with and know if you are a dawg or not,” Haley says.
Fascinated by his larger than life persona, the guys try to tap in to his mindset on and off the field and why he developed such a bad reputation from walking around naked, to the infamous White House stories, to fighting with teammates to someone who should have been a first ballot Hall Of Famer.”
Charles talks about only having one regret in his career and the differences between playing for the 49ers and the Cowboys.

1978 Baltimore Colts vs Dallas Cowboys - Radio Broadcast / The September 4, 1978, matchup between the Baltimore Colts and Dallas Cowboys pitted two teams in very different situations at the start of the NFL season. Baltimore, led by coach Ted Marchibroda, was coming off a disappointing 1977 season and began this game with Mike Kirkland starting at quarterback. Meanwhile, the defending Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys, under the legendary Tom Landry, had Roger Staubach leading the charge. This early-season game had the Cowboys looking to assert dominance in the NFC East and defend their title, while the Colts were searching for improvement after a rocky 1977 campaign. Dallas entered the game with high expectations, thanks to stars like Tony Dorsett and Drew Pearson, while the Colts were seeking stability in the AFC East.
The game quickly turned into a one-sided affair as Dallas took control in the second quarter. Staubach was sensational, throwing for four touchdowns, including a 91-yard pass to Dorsett, and spreading the ball to multiple receivers like Drew Pearson and Billy Joe DuPree. Dallas’s offensive line protected Staubach well, preventing any sacks, while Baltimore struggled on both sides of the ball. The Colts' offense, led by Kirkland, managed only 116 passing yards and was sacked five times. Baltimore’s defense couldn’t contain Dallas's high-powered offense, as the Cowboys amassed 583 total yards, with Dorsett running for 147 yards on the ground. By the fourth quarter, the Cowboys added a field goal to seal the victory, while the Colts failed to put up any points.
The Cowboys' 38-0 win marked an emphatic start to their season, improving to 1-0, and set the tone for what would become another strong year, eventually leading them deep into the playoffs. For Baltimore, the defeat underscored the challenges they faced as they dropped to 0-1, needing significant improvements in both offense and defense to compete in their division.

1975 Cowboys Tryouts / For all of the accolades that the Dallas Cowboys scouting department had received throughout the years, the team had never kept more than nine draft choices and the average number was keeping six. The 1975 draft is considered to be one of the best in league history because 12 picks made the roster, hence the nickname "The Dirty Dozen". This rookie class, didn't even include linebacker Mike Hegman, who was drafted that year but did not enter the NFL until 1976. Neither was included rookie undrafted free agent quarterback Jim Zorn who made the team, but was later cut to make room for running back Preston Pearson, who had been waived by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
