1978 NFC Championship - Cowboys at Rams - Enhanced CBS Broadcast - 1080p 

I love that the commercials are included. For football games of current times I'd rather get shocked with a cattle prod than watch the commercials. But commercials from 45 years ago when I was 8? Magnificent!

I like how players made a tackle on both sides and didnt jump around like they won the Super Bowl on every play.

Wow those uniforms. Golden era for the NFL. Loved listening to Summerall and Tom Brookshier.

All of us SUPER huge old school NFL Fans want to THANK YOU DAVE for keeping those years alive and relevant. Preserving these games in its highest quality certainly gives it a feeling that it's the happening right at this minute, and that's so important in triggering the emotion that had faded over time. No one, could ever put a price on that.

Watched this game live. 13 years old. Great time to be a kid and a Cowboys fan. 😎

Oh those blue Dallas uniforms are so sweet. Great job on the video.

Lord this NFL Today theme STILL gives me chills and gets me as hyper now as it did back in the 1970s YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

The old NFL TODAY Intros were tje Best..Damn,it's bringin back Nice Memories of my innocent childhood...Thx Dave..!!

Great source copy I had to work with here, which made for a stellar enhancement. Topaz removed compression artifacts, sharpened the picture, and upscaled it. I then used Resolve to brighten and add color saturation to a semi-drab presentation to VERY nice effect. I also removed some annoying hiss from the audio. My thanks to romelovesdan for providing the DVD files used for this project

1978 may have been the best season in NFL history, league wide. Thanks once again, Dave. You keep me busy on the days off :)

These are the Dallas Cowboys I grew up Loving. What a great game 🏈

Golden age of CBS NFL . Loved seeing the pregame and Pat and Tom in the booth with Jack and Frank on the field.

I'm enjoying the old commercials as much as the games. Love your content

My FAVORITE championship game! Love the Cowboys old dark blue Jerseys! Staubach was awesome!!!

Danny White punting reminded me of his double duty . Time machine I’m 21 watching with my Dad . We were season TZ holders for 50 years . Jets 😢 I always wished for that Home championship game . Never got it but loved all the football with Dad . Thanks Dave

The appreciation factor for this is off the charts! Dave is the man!!!!!

OH BOY!.....I was so excited for this one back then in 1978, and obviously now to see what our host has been able to enhance with his magic touch!

I was 15 years old and a huge Cowboys fan in 1978. Thank you for posting this and allowing me to relive the "good old days".

I love this!! The game, the coaches, hall of fame players, The NFL Today pregame which always gives me goose bumps.

Thus is the first game I really remember watching as a kid. Played on my 7th birthday and Staubach was my guy.

I remember this day like yesterday, 8 years old, stuck visiting an aunt who had no kids but did have a rabbit (who just hid). TV was on so sat back, intrigued by the team with the star.....and lifelong NFL fan since then.

Thank you! Staubauch and Dorsett were my favorites in the 70's.

I continue my online pleading with the Jones family to use THIS jersey as the Cowboys throwback uniforms instead of the tired early ‘60s versions.

Wow. Great memories for me. I was 16 in 1978 and remember all these players. I was never a big Cowboys fan, but I loved Roger Staubach. What a warrior!

As a kid growing up in So Cal in the 70s I was obsessed with the Rams. Everything. All the players. the Losses to Dallas and Minnesota every year. High Stress over it. Ive never liked a team as much. Dickerson brought it all back after my heros like Dryer et al started to retire. Once Dickerson was allowed to leave I really started to get angry but Jim Everett saved my fandom. After him, nothing. No feelings especially after they left to go to St Louis. No thrill to even get them back. The 70s were the best time in life. I still cant get over the lack of Super Bowls for that great team and we really should have beaten the Steelers in 14. If you were a kid in the 70s that pulled for the Rams, Im guessing there has been nothing that came close other than the Lakers in the 80s but that was different. The Rams were it.

I watched this live when I was 6 years old. I was watching with my dad and grandpa. It's one of those memories you never forget, and this was the year I fell in love with football. I even remember our dinner..... cheeseburgers and French fries. Thank you SO much for posting this. You have no idea how grateful I am for the memories that were unlocked watching this again!!!

Thank God for RU-vid, and for Dave. You are actually able to watch the Cowboys play with heart in the playoffs!

I was at this game. As a Steelers and Dolphins fan I didn't care which team won and I was 7 at the time. This was the year after we moved to L.A. from NY. The theme song takes me right back to this era. And it's great to be reminded of how incredibly beautiful Jayne Kennedy was. Such good broadcast quality too.

Friend, I have been enjoying these so much, commercials and all. Thank you for these amazing time capsules. Please keep up the great work!

I just love your videos, Dave! So hard to believe the great quality you've produced from such old recordings! Thank you! Keep it up!!!

It took them 11min to let the BEAUTIFUL Jayne Kennedy talk...She was my 1st magazine pin-up as a kid..😂

Of all the coaches, Tom Landry is the man of total class.

2 years later the Falcons would host the Cowboys in a playoff game in Atlanta as the #1 seed, and had I believe a 13 point lead at one point in the game and still lost to Dallas in a 4th quarter comeback led by QB Danny White. Atlanta heartbreak in 1978 and 1980. Then blowing a 28-3 lead in a Super Bowl over NE. That Muriel cigar commercial with model/actress Susan Anton was a memory. I remember as a kid having a huge crush on her.

for us Rams fans, it looked like this was finally going to be there year. Got Minn at home, no rain and won easy. And then getting Dal at home. But, Dal totally shutdown the run game and Rams proved you need a good QB because you have to pass sometimes. All the Haden criticism was legit. Rams should have kept Jaws and given him a real shot at starting QB.

A time when singing or hearing the National Anthem at all ballgame wasn't considered 'controversial'. Those were the days!

Actual headline in the L.A. Times in the next day's edition: "Rams' Season Comes to a Pointless Conclusion".

This being a wholly nostalgic blast from a cherished era, I was reminded of the Sunoco NFL Collector Stamps. Great memories. I think they came out in '72.

Love the shade that Summerall throws at Howard Cosell, "WHO??" at 41:09 😂😂

I am pleased fans of the site are loving this more complete version of the game enhanced by Mr. Volsky. Not an easy task with the LA Coliseums lighting challenges. I love the recollections shared here in the comments .Bless the RCA Selectavision 400, other home taping machines and those with the foresight that allowed us to view games from the bygone era. A virtual time machine back to fun times- 1978 was special-The anticipation for the two Conference Championship games, Playing all sports outside year round, having my first beautiful girlfriend, (Bless you Lillian), The Posters on our walls, my KISS albums, The NFL Today, Those fantastic Cowboy Blue uniforms and their contrast to the Rams great white jerseys, John Ramsey's booming voice on the P.A., "Crazy Ray" Jones, Gypsy Boots, The Embraceable Ewes with Jenilee Harrision, Loni Anderson, Ken "White Shadow" Howard, The Great HOF and tough Pro Bowl players and the characters....at the time, @ 3:43:50, I was running stride for stride with "Hollywood" Henderson. The Anticipation for Super Bowl XIII...I could go one forever with recollections... Whatever preconceived notions you have about this game, forget them. This is a great defensive struggle between 2 of the best 3 NFL Teams of the great 1978 season. Perhaps the all-time best season. Even though I have seen this game many times, we have never seen it come to life, in full potential, like this since it's original airing. I watched the enhancement immediately. As Tom Brookshier exclaims to Pat Summerall in the wrap up, "Let's Go get a Cola, alright.." This was a day and broadcast to celebrate. Now, who has the CBS Sports Spectacular "NFL Cheerleading Classic" reels/tape in their closet? send them Mr. Volsky's way, pronto!

Dallas doesn't get to Super Bowl Xlll without Danny White.

Thank you for uploading this game. I was 8 years old when I watched this game with my family. Way to go Cowboys!

This game marked the end of the Los Angeles Rams popularity in Los Angeles. As you saw in the begining of the video they had already announced they were moving to Anaheim. They then choked in this game and lost 28-0. The 49ers dynasty begin just 3 years later in 1981. The Raiders moved to Los Angeles in 1982. The Rams would eventually move to St. Louis. Since their move back to Los Angeles in 2016 they STILL have never regained the popularity they had in LA before this choke job.😅

What have I stumbled onto ?? Wow !!! A treasure trove of pure diamonds !!! You just filled up my TV time for the next few years !! Thank so much for uploading these videos !!!

Really nice enhancement! One of those games where its awesome if you're a Cowboys fan, but if you were a Rams fan...the only silver lining is you were spared having to agonize over whether "if only this play or that play had gone our way." Of note: the Rams had beaten Dallas 27-14 earlier that season, with Staubach throwing 4 INTs. Obviously was a different story this day.

Jack Youngblood was a BEAST. The year after this game Youngblood played the entire playoffs and Super Bowl with a broken leg. Truly remarkable.

Thank You Dave for putting this game out

Keep 'em coming, Dave... You're the best! 👍

I wish it was 1978, those were some incredible years. I was 18yrs old at the time.

After this game the Dallas Cowboys were the designated home team for the super bowl, but did not wear "the home dark jerseys" (superbowl 13) I was hoping they would. The uniform colors for this game are remarkable!

Why won’t the Cowboys bring back these uniforms for a game?

Love this I'm a vikes fan born April 1978 so it's brilliant to see what the game was like back then. Love the adds too ❤

Beautiful, better than any of the other YT versions. This is more complete.

Thanks for keeping the old commercials too.

Fantastic video. I love those years. I was 9 years old and enjoyed that season too much.

Who else spotted Jenilee Harrison, future 3s Company hottie at 1:33:15 in her Rams cheerleader uniform?

Man! What a difference in the players' attitudes during and after the game. Everyone was so mature like a day at work just ended. Very refreshing. And the commercials too!

Wow, I saw this game live on TV, on my brother's first birthday! I was 11. Great Memories Dave!!🤝

That Dallas offense with all the shifts and motion was the greatest poetry the NFL has ever seen. The way football should still be played.

Great season....great games. Thanks!

Thank you, Dave! Appreciate it so much! Wonderful upload!

Man, this was the days when football was real and dangerous. I loved those days. They'd actually try to hurt you back then. It was so much fun to watch back then.

I was 8 years old...thank you Dave. The 70s nostalgia is something that never gets old.

As a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, this is my most favorite Dallas Cowboys victory of all time because they won and won big in a truly decisive 28-0 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on the road in the LA Coliseum while wearing their cursed, jinxed road blue jerseys. The very same cursed, jinxed road blue jerseys that Dallas wore three months earlier in an embarrassing 27-13 loss to the Rams in the very same LA Coliseum.

Once again, Dave's channel is the real NFL Channel.

Thank you again Dave…beautiful job…greatly appreciated!

OJ sure "took off with that Ford Bronco" , a man who stands behind his commercials

I always hated it when the Cowboys had to wear the blue jerseys. Especially in the playoffs. But thankfully they put up a win in this one. Unlike vs. Philly in '80 and Washington in '82.

As far as football goes , all I watch is DAVE VOLSKY'S NFL. The quality is great. It looks live. A tremendous tribute to the men who played real football, which is a hand to hand combat sport with rules, played any in weather. Do you have backups Dave? I'm always afraid that sissy NFL will delete these videos because it makes today's NFL punks look bad. Thanks a bunch. We watch these videos and travel back in time.

How the Cowboys organization can justify not having Charlie Waters in the Ring of Honor is beyond me!!!

Wow....Thanks for posting this!! I remember watching this one live as a kid....What a classic!😀

Crazy to think at one point in 1978 that Dallas was 6-4

Larry Cole had quite a first half. Just coming out of halftime now. Fun to watch. The ball security issues are glaring compared to the current version of both NCAA and NFL football.

Frank Glieber! Voice of the Dallas Cowboys in the 1970's!

BRADSHAW 7:20 What the? Terry is well behind the 50 yard line when he releases that pass. NFL end zones have a depth of 10 yards. That pass is easily well over 60 yards in the air and he didn't even look like he was putting every last bit of strength he had into the throw. Astonishing. Simply astonishing.

My God! I still remember this intro! That's how you know I'm on my 2nd colonoscopy appt.

After going 12-4 in 1978 Haden would go 10-12 the next 3 seasons and be out of football. Guess he was too short...LOL Of course Vince Ferragamo caught fire and took the Rams to a Super Bowl in 1979, but Haden basically fizzled by age 28.

Thank you for these game I love nfl and beasball of the 1970s

Great game Dave. At the 1 hour and 33 minute mark after Danny White's punt , people may recognize the Rams cheerleader as an actress from Three's Company

🙏 the previous versions of this game on here are pretty lousy looking

In week 3 of the NFL season the Cowboys went out to L.A. and got rolled by the Rams. The Rams' defense harried Roger Staubach all day, sacking him 3 times and forcing him into 4 INTs. Late in the game he was sacked and angrily responded to the Rams' celebration by saying, "We'll see you f***ing chokers in the playoffs". Yep, St. Roger actually used the f-word.

cowboys and rams had a weird playoff rivalry in the 70's . they met 5 times and the road team won 4 of the games

So clear, it's like the game was played yesterday!

NFL today love it

Such a different, and better game back then!!! I can barely watch today’s NFL games. The rule changes, and inconsistent officiating have ruined the game!!

Cowboys fan since I was 12. Love these vids complete with the commercials

Look mom, real football! Love the NFL Today!

4:58 Crazy that there was some talk of the Rams playoff rival Minnesota Vikings moving into the LA Coliseum once the Rams were off to Anaheim. I remember Colts owner Robert Irsay was also interested of moving his team to LA around that time.

Man, Jayne Kennedy was gorgeous.

Miss Pat and Tom they were the best

I was 10 in 78 and lived in Irving just down the road from Texas stadium. That was the year I got to meet Tom Landry and Roger Staubach. Man the world was such a better place back then. My Mom worked for a medical rehabilitation center in Dallas. Every year they had a telethon that aired on local channels. She always answered phones and took pledges so she could be on tv 😂 I always went and hung around to meet famous people 😂 It was 3 or 4 in the morning and I was in a break room by myself when a guy in sunglasses came in and sat down and struck up a conversation with me. We just talked and even split a sandwich. My Mom stuck her head in and asked me if I wanted to meet coach Landry. Of course I was excited and my friend said oh boy you don’t want to miss that. When my Mom and I were walking down the hall she asked me if I knew who that was that I was eating with. I said yeah his name is Roy and he’s a nice guy. Well it was Roy Orbison and I’ve been a big fan ever since 😂

Love it. Classic lineup on both sides. I was always a big Staubach fan but I’ll tell you Pat Haden was a very good quarterback. Tough little son of a gun.

Imagine if Thomas Henderson had a similar mindset as say... a Mike Singletary. In 1978, Henderson was the fastest linebacker in football.

Was hoping the Rams wouldn't choke this game but they always succeeded to disappoint their fans.

Great teams, great game, great times. 👍

great upload! I watched all the lead-up and pre-game just to see the images of the Coliseum (the tunnel, the field, the stand, the lights, where they put the CBS NFL Today booth, etc) I went to Raider games in the Coliseum with my father from 82-89, when I was very young so it was cool to see what the Coliseum was like a few years before I got there. The video even has a Gypsy Boots sighting !!!! 38:34

I love you Dave! THANK YOU

I love the commercials!!!!!

This is like watching all my childhood football cards come to life.

As a Cowboys fan, I remember this one very clearly, the Cowboys just totally taking over the game after a 0-0 first half, and despite having to wear their blue jerseys. And Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson walking the talk. Also in watching this game again, it's hard to believe Roger Staubach only played one more season.

Damn. Al Davis was interested in moving in 1978.
