Texas State Championship on Thanksgiving! (Oilers vs. Cowboys 1979, Week 13) 

Two of the best unis of all time

This is the only year between 1977 and 1982 that the Cowboys didn't play in the NFC Championship game (Was still the number 1 seed in the NFC this year). The team was absolutely loaded with talent

Legendary feud between Tom Landry and Mike Ditka on the sidelines after that 4th down penalty/Oilers TD sequence

Those baby blue jerseys such a classic

Crazy how much the divisions have changed

Earl campbell man what a BEAST!

An absolute treat to watch Earl Campbell and Tony Dorsett in their young primes.

i love to see these highlights from the 70’s and 80’s. I hope there are more of these to come.

Very Entertaining Game from Thanksgiving day 1979. I Remember Watching this as a Teenager 44 Years Ago.

Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen were a terrific broadcasting duo back in the 80s

Wish I could see something like this nowadays we need a good rivalry like this

We had Earl Campbell, against great wide receivers even match, Campbell was the man. That's football 🏈.

It felt like every announcer from the 70s sounded the same lol

I remember this game like it was yesterday. I was 16 and this was during the height of the “luv-ya blue” era in H-Town…🏈

The Great Earl Campbell

This was a hell of a game. Thanks for sharing.

My mom brought me both jerseys for xmas 1979. Loved the Oilers jersey a lot because of the colors. But became a Cowboys fan because of my mom.

Crazy seeing a "spread" formation with two backs in the backfield

Hey, that’s Mike Adamle of American Gladiators fame!

Staubach and Earl Campbell, both had gr8 game.

Happy Thanksgiving NFL Throwback

A blast from the past I was 13 years old when this game was played all those great player Tony Dorsett Roger Staubach Earl Campbell I don't remember seeing this game but it was a great game

HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone thank to god were all here and happy thanksgiving LETS WATCH SOME FOOTBALL

Thnx for these great 70s Matchups , Earl Campbell Gr8!

Houston Oilers Against Dallas Cowboys From 1979 Battle Of Lone Star State ☺🏈

Im a buffalo fan but I was happy when Drew Pearson made it to Canton . Irvin don't hold a candle to Drew

Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen.......legends. Earl was an absolute beast. He got hit harder by his own teammates after his first TD🤣🤣

That was so good. I was 11 years old then and we must have been working cows coming in. Great game. I miss these days of the NFL.

I was in the 3rd grade and this was the first time I saw Earl! I was heartbroken the Dallas didn't pull of the comeback.

If I had know about this game, I would have stay at my aunt's house and watch it with my family except one cousin. I would have went neutral but I was a kid to understand. I would not cheer for neither team. Until the end when Earl Campbell scored the winning touchdown run. I would have clapped to the Oilers for winning the Thanksgiving game.

The Cowboys may have been America's team, but Earl Campbell and the Houston Oilers were always Texas' team!

I miss these Cowboys playing !

The Oilers were the best team in the league that year….they made it to the AFC championship with their back up QB and RB in the first 2 playoff games…on the road.

Best rivalrys houston and Dallas and Cincinnati and Cleveland inbthe NFL

15:57 member of the chain gang taking drag off his cig 😂😂

15:55 Shout out to the guy smokin darts on the sideline.

Next year when the Texans travel to Dallas and play the Cowboys, why not have that game played on Thanksgiving?

D. Pearson 88 always refers to Staubach as "My quarterback."

The Cowboys last regular season home loss until the 1982 season opener at home against another AFC Central team at the time, the Steelers.

A another lit video

No Randy White in the game, that made the difference imo.

Classic like today.

Why didn’t you upload any Lions thanksgiving games?

Pastorini had a very good game

Joe Montana and Derrick Thomas prevented an all Texas SB in 93

Suckin' a cig on the sidelines a 15:54

Earl Campbell needs bigger shoulder pads

8:22 I hear Crazy Ray!!!

I STILL CRY WHEN I SEE OUR BELOVED OILERS. THEY LEFT LONG AGO, BUT IT STILL HURTS. THANK YOU BOB LANIER. NO IT WAS NOT BUD ADAMS FAULT.

Funny, you see all these videos "Texas State Championship" between us and the Oilers but ONLY win the Cowboys lose. This was one if the worst weeks in Cowboys history beginning with the blowout AT RFK the 4'days prior. The injuries to Charlie Waters and temporary retirement of Too Tall, Roger already,2 severe concussions...then the release of Henderson the day after Washington...the Bob Hayes prison halftime story......it was a bad week for a clearly wounded Cowboys team. That is why the MNF 1982 game @ Houston was so awesome and revenge, avenged Destroying of the Oilers does not tell half the story. I also loved how they forced us to wear our blue jerseys, the 1981-94 Cowboys blue uniforms my favorite in all of sports....I have the game worn jersey of #87 Jay Saldi that game. So why is THAT game or the1985 game, or 1970 and 1994 games not listed Texas Championship???? Oh yeah, because won.

YEAAAAA!!!!!! OILERS !!!!!

why were the oilers foiled?
