Hail Mary - Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota

Video Description:
Long Pass Dallas Cowboys 1975
Push-Off Conspiracy Theory - Settled here.
Many claim that Drew Pearson pushed off.
I have uploaded 2 versions of this play on youtube. You will not see any arm extension by Pearson in either version of this play to justify the push-off claim.
Use the replay feature as best you can to stop and review the play frame by frame. At 0:20 seconds, you will see that #43 gets his own feet tangled up at the 9 yard line when trying to turn inside and get into positon to see the ball. His right foot comes in contact with his left heel and throw
s him off balance. It almost looks like he might have stepped on his own shoe lace. From that point forward, he is off balance between the 9Y line and 6Y line and could have contributed to the incidental contact between them. On the 6 yard line, Pearson plants both feet to make the catch. Still o
ff balance, the defender's momentum from the incidental contact carries him across Pearson's right leg/foot and causes him to fall sharply to the right.... as Pearson backs straight into the end zone. Per my other uploaded video of this play, you will see that Pearson is the only receiver in this
quadrant of the field. So, why is #22 not closer to assist? There is nobody else downfield that he may have been covering. So.... WTF is he doing? -- covering the referree??? or just "watching" the game ???

He didnt push off. The dude just tripped. More importantly who through the whiskey bottle at the ref shortly after!?

They may not have won a Superbowl, but at least the Vikes won an NFL Championship, which is more than some teams can say.
Even if they'd won this game, there's no guarantee they'd have won the Superbowl, so no point agonizing too much over this one.

The Hail Mary Game was NOT played on Christmas day 1975.
The Vikings did play the Cowboys on Christmas day, but it was in the first round of the 1971 playoffs. They lost 20-12.

I loved those 70's Viking teams. Metropolitan Stadium really rocked back then. Just not the same when you see them in the baggy dome. Travelling to Minnesota for a December game was definitely a home field advantage. But then, Wrigley Field, Tiger Stadium, and Lambeau were tough, too! God, the NFL was awesome back in the day. Players didn't celebrate after every first down back then.

yeah, i agree. that was a rebuilding dallas team that went to the super bowl and lost to a pittsburgh steelers team, that they should have beaten them and lost 21-17.

a lot of viking fans forget that this was the 1st round of the playoffs and the Cowboys went to LA and beat the Ron Jaworski led Rams 37-7 the next week in the NFC Championship. the cowboys also got a gift when on 4th and 15 from their own 15 yard , Staubach hit Pearson at midfield when Pearson was about 3 feet out of bounds which would have ended the game right then, but the refs called a pushout and gave them a first down. Obviously ref crew was from Texas.
Of course he didn't ... ( 1 month ago by BeirutWedding)
Of course he didn't admit to it. Because he didn't. Nate Wright was fighting with Pearson the whole way down the field because in those days defensive backs had a lot more lee-way to do that. Pearson just won the fight, a fact Vikings fans like to overlook.

As a San Fran fan, how do you feel about the screw job call against Eric Wright in the Champ game against the Redskins when Montana made one of the greatest comebacks in playoff history? The Redskins deserved to get their ass stomped against the Raiders in Super Bowl XVIII after that.
Pearson pushed him. ... ( 3 weeks ago by gfpirate)
Pearson pushed him. However, regarding the out of bounds catch, I would have to fault the Viking defensive back for that one. If Pearson isn't touched, he'll go out of bounds and the game's over. However, once the defender pushed him (he did), the benefit of the doubt goes to the receiver. Today, it wouldn't matter because the NFL has done away with the push out call. You're either inbounds or you're out.

Pearson is a bastard, he didn't admit to it because the refs were clearly on his side and why would he admit to something he got away with? It would take away the "prestige" of being a cheating bastard as known by 99% of America, the other 1% being idiotic Cowboys fans.

There are vids with much better angles and quality of the push off by Pearson square in the back. I watched the game and saw the replays and announcers said it was obvious. No call by the ref is what was amazing. This video doesn't show jack.

The idiots that say he didn't push off are basing their comments on this one lame video. They should do a little research. This was one of the biggest no calls in history.
