The Cowboys Duane Thomas scored on an 80 yard run to put the Cowboys up 7-0. Buffalo answered with a 15 yard pass from Joe Ferguson to O.J. Simpson. The first half ended 7-7. This picks up the game from there.
Buffalo opens the 2nd half with the ball.
Simpson gets the carry.
Stopped by Larry Cole for a 2 yard loss.
2nd and 12.
Pass to Simpson in the flat, which is completed.
Cliff Harris needs to make the stop.
Gets him at the 24.
3rd and 6.
Everyone covered up but one, Chandler down the middle of the field. Tough throw that was incomplete.
Bills have to punt, Dallas takes over at their 36, if they score they win.
Calvin Hill gets the carry.
Tackled by Ed Jones, inches short of the first down.
2nd and inches.
Staubach on the sneak.
Stopped at the 50.
1st and 10.
Passing play.
Bob Hayes is open, but Staubach couldn’t hit him.
2nd and 10 from the 49.
Alworth comes open, and there is a throwing lane, but the throw misses again.
3rd and 10.
Staubach sacked by Skorupan sending the game to overtime.
Bills win the toss and have an opportunity to win the game (sudden death).
Vic Washington on the carry.
Huge hole, every Cowboy in contact with a defender (therefore can’t adjust).
Washington goes all the way to the Cowboys 34, 46 yard gain.
1st and 10.
Simpson on the carry.
Jordan hits him straight on at the 38 and hits him so hard Simpson bounces back a yard.
2nd and 12.
Everyone covered, Ferguson chooses to scamble, then eventually had to throw it away.
3rd and 12.
Seems like a wide open middle for a QB draw, hoping to get enough to either get a 1st down or set up a manageable 4th down attempt.
Instead, Cornell Green gets him for another 2 yard loss. On 4th down, the Bills punted into the endzone.
Cowboys 1st and 10 from their 20.
Calvin Hill gets the carry.
Hill gets free.
Hill goes 67 yards to the Bills 13.
1st and 10 at the 13.
Duane Thomas on the carry.
Thomas gains 6 to the 7 yard line.
2nd and 4.
Pass play.
Alworth has room, but too tough a throw (for me :)), so Thomas is the choice.
Complete, but not likely to get far.
Lost a yard to the 8.
3rd and 5.
Thomas on a running play.
No gain.
Mike Clark from the 8-yard line is a 2-10 chance out of 12 on two six-sided dice.
The roll was 7. The Cowboys beat the Bills in overtime by a score of 10-7.
