RAMS took a chance on Cromwell. He had injured his knee as a Senior at Kansas. What a draft in 77. Cromwell, Brudzinski, Waddy, Ferragamo, Tyler

born in 1969!

Glo Waves this is the Game he got his leg broke, right before halftime, I remember thinking to myself he'd have to be dead not to come back and play... I was right... I was jumping up and down saying I knew it, I knew it! Too bad he broke his leg, it cost the Rams the Superbowl, if Jack's leg was not broke he would of been a 100 percent against the Steelers and no way in hell Bradshaw would of had the time in the pocket to throw those bombs to Stallworth ... My first RAM game was in69 my Dad worked for the LA Times to this day till the day I die I'll be a RAM Fan, because of the fearsome foursome and the greatest no name defense ever to play in the NFL Youngbloods Defense, took my Son to Canton in 01, Got his RAM helmet signed by Youngbloods and Dryer ... priceless

@@ericunderwood6728 Maybe Youngblood should have voluntarily sat for Reggie Doss who was no slouch and who eventually replaced Fred Dryer

Youngblood was Da Man.

He played this game with the same broken leg

He also.played the Pro Bowl on the same broken leg a week after the Super Bowl.

Yep 14-12 in Dallas

They make that play they probably beat Pittsburgh

Waddy was wide open.

@@Solitude47152 Pittsburgh played the Tampa 2 defense. Lambert and Derrick Brooks played the same spot on passing plays

God dam it

Dolan Duck Your steelers ? unless you're apart of rooney family stfu and kiss my ass!

TheRedBaron Lives! How did you like that playoff loss to the Rams this year did it make your top 5 playoff losses.😜

I think getting faked on the FG and getting beat around the corner by Cromwell was probably was the beginning of the end for Cliff Harris also

such a gifted athlete

NC was actually the Rams third string QB all the years he played for the Rams ...I've often wondered what would of happened if he was QB..he had the vision of a great player...they knew he was an outstanding athlete... just saying

@@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503 As talented as Roman Gabriel. Rams always had an embarrassment of riches on their roster.

@@snapfinger1 I seen Roman Gabriel play..fumbled 3 or 4 times and recovered all of them! LoL...yeah I grew up hating QBs especially Staubach and Tarkenton... I always liked James Harris... Ferragamo wasn't that good... O and some guy at work talked me out of putting a grand down at 400 to 1 in 99 and the sumbitch up and died before I had a chance to ball him out...true story! O well! Took my Son to Canton in 01 and by chance got his helmet signed by Youngblood on the left horn and Dryer on the right horn...I asked Ferragamo to sign it but he didn't...I'm glad he didn't! LoL... Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High School California... Pop worked for the LA times.. free tickets to all the Pro Bowls ...and Riverside and Ontario motorspeedways! Nice!

@@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503 I saw Gabriel in college in the Deep South. He went cosmopolitan with his hair & clothes in LA like Broadway Joe.

No fluke at all, as the deflection did not significantly reroute the direction of the pass, it just knocked the spiral off of it. The Ron Smith TD on the bomb from Ferragamo at the end of the first half was another case of the Dallas dbs giving it up in a crucial situation.

OBESPRING1982 it is a fluke because that slight tip causes the ball to slow down regardless and the play is not designed to be tipped to WR for a TD

Has a single member of the Cowboys ever stated it was a fluke? If so, give me the link. If not, you're just showing your ignorance. I wonder if you've even seen the play,. Waddy was taking that pass in stride, whether it was grazed or not.

OBESPRING1982 and if someone would ask any team that they have a play that is designed to be tipped for a TD late in a game all of them would say NO at any level of football. No link for that would be needed.

The QB hit the WR on a crossing route, as the play was designed. The intended receiver never broke stride, gathered in the perfect pass and proceeded, untouched, into the end zone. You can't draw it up any better than that. Nothing that the defense did on the play effectively prevented that from happening. The defense let the WR carry the ball into the end zone after allowing him to receive the pass on his prescribed pass route. I don't think that was the objective when the Cowboys broke the huddle, was it, genius?. Not surprising, considering that double coverage by the Dallas DBs at the end of the 1st half failed to prevent a TD on a long bomb. The QB linked up with the WR for the game-winner near the end of the 2nd half but it wouldn't have been possible if Dallas hadn't given it up at the end of the 1st half, also. Doomsday, indeed!
