1968 NFL "GAMES-OF-THE-WEEK” Cardinals vs. Steelers and Cowboys vs. Redskins Back to back 1968 NFL "Games-Of-The-Week" are now together and in COLOR on one 51-minute DVD for nostalgic viewing! St. Louis hosts Pittsburgh at Busch Stadium in the first game, and a week later Dallas travels to D.C. Stadium in Washington , home of the Redskins. These games take place on November 10 and 17 (weeks 9 and 10 of the 1968 NFL season). Coach Charlie Winner's Cardinals come into their game with a 5-3 record, while the 2-6 Steelers, have now won their last two games. To cap the Steelers' first possession, Dick Hoak scores on a 30-yd TD pass from quarterback Dick Shiner. Near the end of the first quarter, Roy Jefferson fields a Cardinal punt and runs it back 80 yards to give the Steelers a 14-0 lead. Pittsburgh continues to shut out the Cardinals through the first half and when Earl Gros turns a pass over the middle into a 22-yd scoring play, the Steelers have a nice 21-0 lead at intermission. Cardinal quarterback Jim Hart opens the second half with a TD bomb to WR Dave Williams! Within five minutes, Hart throws another strike to Williams and the Cardinals have quickly closed the deficit to 21-14. After Pittsburgh misses a FG try, Hart again connects on another long bomb, this one to Bobby Joe Conrad, which ties the game at 21-21! Pittsburgh 's Roy Jefferson goes 52-yds with a go-ahead TD pass, making the score 28-21 Steelers at the end of the third period. The Cardinals' final drive begins on their 47. On 4th down, Hart hits Conrad at the Steeler 17 with 50 seconds left. Hart passes to Williams in the end zone, and when Marv Woodson is called for pass interference, the Cardinals have the ball at the one. Johnny Roland dives into the end zone for a 28-28 tie! Throughout the game, you'll see many other players, such as Larry Wilson, Roy Shivers, Willis Crenshaw, Jackie Smith, Jerry Stovall, Don Brumm, Bob Atkins, Chuck Walker, Jim Bakken, Lonnie Sanders, Chuck Latourette, and rookie MLB Jamie Rivers of the Cardinals. Other Steelers shown in action include John Hilton, J. R. Wilburn, Booth Lusteg, Bobby Walden, Lloyd Voss, Ben McGee, Frank Parker, Paul Martha, Jerry Hillebrand, Andy Russell, Bob Wade and Clendon Thomas. The following week at D.C. Stadium, the 4-5 Redskins host the 7-2 Cowboys. During the Cowboys' first possession, quarterback Don Meredith moves Dallas down the field on seven straight running plays, before a pass to Bob Hayes goes for a TD and 7-0 Dallas lead. Mike Clark's 45-yd FG in the second period gives the Cowboys a 10-0 lead, before a long pass from Redskin QB Sonny Jurgensen to Charlie Taylor makes the score 10-7. Another Mike Clark FG moves Dallas out in front 13-7 with 38 seconds left in the half. But Jurgensen needs only 30 of those seconds to move the 'Skins into position to score on Charlie Gogolak's 37-yd FG and the score at halftime is 13-10 Dallas . An 11-yd Jurgensen to Taylor TD pass early in the third quarter gives the Redskins the lead, 17-13, but the Cowboys move to within a point, 17-16, on Mike Clark's third FG. With 8:19 left in the third quarter, the game turns completely when veteran Bobby Mitchell receives a punt, is hit by Dick Daniels and fumbles on the Washington 20. A quick play-action pass, Meredith-to-Lance Rentzel, gives the Cowboys a 23-17 lead. On the next Dallas series, Meredith is injured but replacement Craig Morton takes over and promptly tosses another TD pass to Rentzel to build the score to 30-17. In the final quarter, Don Perkins caps a 3-play drive with a 28-yd TD run giving him a 103-yd day. Dallas now leads 37-17 and has scored 4 unanswered touchdowns in 13 minutes. To finish the Dallas scoring, lineman Larry Cole picks up a Jurgensen fumble and runs it in, making it 44-17 Cowboys. Redskin LB Chris Hanburger intercepts a Cowboy pass late in the game and scores to make the final count 44-24 Dallas .
