Attended Rams games with my dad from '78 to '92. In the '80s, even during losing seasons, the crowds still attended just to watch Dickerson's epic runs. He was the show.
@@averyj8924 nothing, even Jerry Rice would not have saved those late 80's Cowboys teams. For those who don't know why I say Jerry, look at the draft and who took him.
I did thoroughly enjoy this broadcast. Jack Buck had a great voice, and was entertaining. Stram and Vermeil offered intelligent commentary. I thought the camera work was excellent, too, even by today's standards.
Come on. Any HD broadcast from 20 years ago will look as it was. This was oversaturated in color, but the original broadcast source tape should look better. Videotape even from the 50's had about 480 lines and UK pal had 625. Direct source tapes would look even better. The difference between old NTSC and hd is analog, color, brightness and resolution vs digital - which keeps it as was, precise color, brighter picture and of course - more detail. Yes, analog is worse now, buy wuen viewed on a high quality tube tv, it looked good. So 36 years ago vs 20 years ago is still old, bit the tech makes the difference, not age. Final example. Film recorded material from the 1930's, can look way better than this or even 4k due to the raw nature and great light of film. Digital has its limitations while film is only limited in frame rate.
Dickerson played with six (6) different starting QB's during his four (4) full seasons with Los Angeles...Vince Ferragamo ('83), Jeff Kemp ('84), Dieter Brock ('85), Steve Bartkowski ('86), Steve Dils ('86), and Jim Everett ('86).
It's not talked about much, but Buck and Stram use to do the MNF radio broadcasts and I always thought these two were better than Cosselle and Gifford. (As good as they were)
There was a mandate for some botched snap or fumble if team during national audience or playoff was up by two scores, in this game it may have been "don't make it too obvious Chicago is next".

CFL trivia: QB Dieter Brock was a CFL HOFer and played in Winnipeg most of his career but in his final season he was traded to Hamilton for former Notre Dame QB Tom Clements who is also a CFL HOFer..... Big trade by CFL standards, and that season they met in the Grey Cup with each playing their former team. Tom Clements and Winnipeg beating Brock and Hamilton. Edit: Clements started career in Ottawa then played along time in Hamilton and final season in Winnipeg winning his 3rd Grey Cup with 3rd team. Brock never won a Grey Cup losing in 2 with 2 different teams.
And then he came to the Rams. ESPN was heavily televising the CFL back then so I saw Brock a lot with Winnipeg, but never saw him with the Ti-Cats at the end.

I'll never forget how pissed off I was when Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry ! I used to love the Cowboy's, but after that dirty trick I nver liked the Cowboy's again !
I have much respect for coach Landry but his time was done. He should have retired 2 years before. Jimmy Johnson was the perfect coach for the 90's Cowboys. Jones was an idiot for not bending over backwards to keep him.
@@gordonreed2736 The '85 Bears were arguably the single greatest single-season team in NFL history, even greater than the '72 Dolphins (yes, the Dolphins handed the Bears their only loss that season, but that was in Miami and Shula had probably treated that game as his personal "Super Bowl" because he had members of the '72 Dolphins on the sideline and so forth).
@@WaltGekko So true Walt. Those bears were crushing everything. Even I wish they could have carried that magic a bit further. N give Peyton a SB touchdown. Come on Mike. Jim shoulda called an audible. Yep dat team was Special
Loved watching Eric Dickerson in the 80s. A combination of speed, power, grace and smoothness. It's too bad the Rams ownership at the time was so screwed up that they let him go instead of locking him up. He could have been one of the best of all time.
There no doubt that Eric Dickerson was one of the very best runners in his era and in the history of the league. It was always neck and neck between him and Walter Payton. NOBODY was as good as sweetness but Dickerson was a consummate and legit threat.
Nolan Cromwell #21 of the Los Angeles Rams played from 1977-1987 Career Accomplishments and Awards 4× Pro Bowl (1980-1983) 3× First-team All-Pro (1980-1982) Second-team All-Pro (1983) UPI NFC Defensive Player of the Year (1980) 4× Football Digest NFL Defensive Back of the Year (1980-1983)
There are a couple interesting things about this game. First, you have 2 of the all time great running backs going at it in Dickerson and Dorsett. At the time dorsett was already a legend, but many great backs came after him so you don’t hear his name as much. But when he retired, Jim brown and Payton were probably the only backs in front of him on the all time list. Randy white was another beast of a player. You hear more about recent players these days, but the guy was a force to be reckoned with. This was also the historic season for the 85 bear defense. The bears destroyed Dallas in the regular season and shut down Dickerson and the rams in the playoffs to go on to win the super bowl vs the patriots.
This is when the Cowboys were declining as the team was getting old and Landry was too inflexible about switching out of the "flex" defense that had become obsolete by then. Landry probably would have been forced to retire after the 1987 season except the strike gave him three extra wins he likely doesn't get without his main team going up against replacement players (Cowboys were 4-8 in non-strike games that year), keeping him there for 1988 and at that point, if Jerry Jones had not bought the Cowboys until later, '89 and some felt Rozelle should have stepped in and made clear the NFL would not approve the sale to Jones unless he agreed to let Landry coach in '89 so the NFL could do a "farewell tour" with Landry while Jimmy Johnson prepared to take over in 1990.
Dr Nugget strangely enough Dickerson grew up a Cowboy fan and Tex Schramm told him they would not draft him because they felt he was TOO SOFT and they did not believe he was that fast inspite of running BACK to BACK 40s in 4.31 in private workouts!!!

@@conni70 Won a division with the Giants and Washington back when they were two of the most well-run franchises in the league. Landry lost it bad after this and probably should have been fired or kicked upstairs in '87, but this seems like a genuinely good coaching job.
@@conni70 They won that division mainly because of ONE freak play where Phil Simms was intercepted and the ball was returned for a TD by the Cowboys. Otherwise, Giants win that game in Dallas and the NFC East.
@@pronkb000 He probably would have been forced to retire in '87 except he got three wins with his regular squad against replacement players during the strike when most of his regulars crossed picket lines. Cowboys were 4-8 in non-strike games that games. Otherwise he likely is out then.
@@WaltGekko Dude you don't win the division because of one freak play. The team won 10 games that year and beat the Giants twice and the Redskins twice. Given how old the team had gotten by that point I'd say it was probably one Coach Landry's best seasons and it was pretty much his last great moment.
I think he was from the CFL. The Rams had one of the worst quarterbacks of the best, so they thought they'd try one of the best quarterbacks of the worst.
1 week later he was even worse vs 85 Bears...i'm Canadian but Dieter was out of his league jumping to the NFL ... Great CFL career but 85 Rans were good due to Dickerson, Ellard and defense....not Dieter Brock.
In this game, sure. However, Danny White was a mostly excellent QB who, before his wrist was broken, could sling it with anyone. He gets overlooked because he came between Roger and Troy, but he did QB the Cowboys into several NFC Championship games and he was a tough (had to be with a decaying O-Line), accurate, passer. He sucked in this game, but he was far from a crappy quarterback. Dieter Brock is, as so many others note, a CFL Hall of Famer with a legendary cannon for an arm. He was also relatively short for a QB and was running the most archaic offense in the NFL -- so many commentators from the 1984-1986 era mocked the Stone Age approach of the Rams. Brock was never given much to do and he managed to win (in 1985) by handing off the Dickerson and showing good accuracy with short, safe, passes. Not much different from every other Rams QB of the "Eric Era" --- a pity, too, as he won the job because he could launch it. And then they seldom had him launch it.
On a Self-Quarentined, Saturday evening, in New York City, Thanks CBS, for the Memories of the Hall of Famers, and I miss the NFL!!! Earth, Get Well Real Soon!!!
THANK YOU! GREAT UPLOAD. I watched this game in South Korea while stationed with the 2nd Inf Division, and had the flu. Had to drag myself out of bed to see my team win.
Watching this reminds me that I have never seen someone run that fast effortlessly since. Even the current Rams RB Todd Gurley and Adrian Peterson are not able to do this. Yes they are plenty fast,but you can see it takes a huge effort from them to be fast.Many strides needed to run the distance. Eric was fast without appearing to even be trying. Count how few strides he needed to cover 40 yards , just amazing.
Interesting at the start of Dallas' first drive, they show Danny White's numbers and his completion percentage is 59.3% and that's 3rd highest in the NFC at that time. That's barely better than Trevor Lawrence's percentage at the moment: 58.7%. Granted White also threw 21 TDs which is way more than Lawrence's current tally of 9, but he also threw 17 interceptions which is also more than TL: 14. And this is with similar amounts of total passing yards from both QBs. Just saying: times have changed.
Interceptions were more accepted as part of the game back then. The West Coast Offense was only in its infancy stage at that time. QB's were more downfield passers, which led to a lower completion % and a higher # of INTS.
Ask the '85 Bears their opinion of him ! Better yet, watch his timid performance against them in the championship game...January 12, 1986... Rams 0 vs Bears 24.
That Monday night loss at Miami was the best thing that happened to the '85 Bears! Ditka and Ryan relieved some stress with each other and Chicago went into steamroller mode from there.
When I was a kid, I loved the Dallas Cowboys. I was 11 years old in 1985 and Danny White was my hero. But looking back now, I realize he wasn't very good. Quite inaccurate and seemed to throw as many to the other team as he did to his teammates. LOL. Memories.
Dude that's not the case at all. Danny had a bad day in this game but he was one of the few things holding the team together by 85. The next year Dallas was 6-2 going into the game against the Giants where Danny White was lost for the season and ended up 1-7 without him at starting QB. He wasn't Joe Montana or Roger Staubach but he was a quality starter that won a lot of games for the Cowboys and a player that kept them relevant as the team slowly degraded in the last years of Coach Landry.
Danny White was very good. This is just one game go look up his stats I believe he led the league in passing at least one year his main problems were starting at an older age and his career because he was backing up Staubach. He also was not a huge man and suffered injuries.
Jack Buck noted the $10,000 per player they would get for winning this game and a chance to make another $18,000 in the NFC Championship Game. This is when salaries were MUCH lower and that playoff money was huge for such player.
Super Bowl Winners also got $36K per man whileSuper Bowl Losers got 18K per Man. Wild Card Teams got $6K per man for playing in that round. In 1982 when that pay scale took effect Washington’s players made $70K for winning the Super Bowl and Miami got $52K sine all the playoff teams(8 per conference in 1982)m played in what was really the Wild Card round.
At 10:37 That was one of the worst call I’ve ever seen! How in the hell could the Refs call that a sack? That was such an incredibly fast call & obviously not the correct call! And to hear the announcers talking & going along with that call is insane! It was worse than Marshun Lynch’s tackle calling him down prematurely!
Damn I loved football back then. I just like it now.. Teams hand character and identity. Now it just seems like it's a bunch of individual mercenaries... And way way softer.
Here is a trivia item.....At this game Dickerson ran for 238 yards. The next week he played the 1985 Bears. Dickerson had 17 carries for 46 yards.....and I believe he had 10 yards on his first carry. Dickerson use to do a local sports show round up at a local LA tv station and someone brought up the 1985 bears once and he waved his arms and basically said stop stop I can't take it. That's how good the 1985 bears were
He probably cringes at the memory of the 85 NFC Championship Game. 46 total rushing yards, 2.7/carry (2.1 after his first carry). He was embarrassed that day, he got beat up! an unassisted Mike Singletary stood him up & pancaked him on a 3rd & 1, forever diminishing his rep as an all-time elite power back.
Those Bear teams would have won 3-4 SBs if they didn’t have lame Ditka as coach. In fact, Buddy Ryan won that 85 SB, not Ditka. So much talent wasted all them years on a bum coach. Then he went and ruined the Saints!
Dieter Brock was an absolutely horrible QB! He missed pass after pass when he wasn’t having his passes blocked by the Cowboys. The Rams might have done better to just hand off to Dickerson every play? It was nauseating to watch him play. Thank God for Dickerson!!
Classic L.A. Rams playoff game, and vintage Dickerson. 1:48:20, HOFer badass DE Jack Youngblood, fresh into retirement this pre-season. Also, 1:30:25 - Kevin Greene, future HOFer - rookie season.
Well, he was never considered truly elite. He also played in the same conference as Jerry Rice. The Rams also never made it to the Super Bowl. He has great numbers, but just ranks a notch below guys like Rice and Andre Reed.
No, that is incorrect. The LA Rams played in Super Bowl XIV in 1980, (1979 NFL Season) at the Rose Bowl where they were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19. The game was much closer than the score indicates as the lead changed hands 6 times. Henry Ellard was not on that team. He was not drafted by the Rams until 1983.
Lewis It wasn't that Brock flat out sucked it was the offense was built around Dickerson it was just like Robinson was in college SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA where he ran a equally conservative offense.
No Brock pretty much sucked. Plus he was already 35 or so. Look at it this way, he played just the one season in the NFL. No one else wanted him even for a backup. Robinson wasn't that conservative a coach at USC. They threw when it was good for them or if they needed to. But they didn't need to throw that much with guys like Ricky Bell, Charles White and Marcus Allen running behind offensive lines that are 1st and 2nd round picks in the draft.
First and only time to date both LA teams were at home on a playoff weekend--better yet this coming the week after both the Giants and Jets hosted the respective wildcards which is the only time THAT'S happened
@@mgb4692 That is why in 1985 the wild card games were played on separate days. Both the Jets and Giants were hosting so they had to go on separate days. For three seasons in a row the wild card games were on separate days.
I met Tony Dorsett at Walter Reed in 2005. Got to spend time with him. He would try to connect with you. I don’t know if he ever played against my school back in the day but he said he did a couple times and the one thing he hated-they hit him hard and one of very few times held under 100 yards. He asked who I thought he wanted to play for coming out of college-told him that is too easy...you wanted to play for the Steelers. He asked how did I know that-your from West PA, no one else anyone would want to play for except the Steelers. I explained Dan Marino wanted to play for the Steelers...but we drafted Mark Malone in the first round. He asked me how I felt about him. “Best bounce passer since Magic Johnson.” Fun had by all.
This game actually was really fun to watch...and I thought the commentating was great. But back in 1985, I dont know how either one of these teams thought they would have a chance in Chicago next week.
The Cowboys had faced Chicago earlier in this season and it resulted in Dallas' worst home loss ever, 44-0. Loved it! Yes, the Bears were doing the "Super Bowl Shuffle" all over the rest of the league!
Why would anybody outside of Miami think they had a chance against the Bears that year? They pretty well demolished everybody that season except the Fins.
That's probably why he only lasted one season. I wish Vince Ferragamo had still been our QB in '85. He broke his thumb in the third game of the '84 season, and then John Robinson decided to keep Jeff Kemp in as starter for the remainder of that season. When they acquired Dieter Brock during the offseason, Ferragamo was traded. Vince may have been a bit past his prime in '85, but I think the Rams could have won a few more games with him running the offense instead of Brock.
They will in 2 years it's a rule the nfl has, relocation team has to keep the current uniform for 2 years then it can be changed and I agree old school meets new school
Ryan it's not a rule or anything but a lot of teams wear their throwback stuff each year at least once.. I don't think they'll permanently change it though if they did it'd still just be modernized
Coach Robinson was always on him in practice because he didn't think he was running at full speed. "Eric we're running this at full speed now." "Coach I AM running full speed." After the run against the Jets, Robinson realized that he was running at full speed in practice he just didn't LOOK like he was. He has a couple more runs: In 1984, at Tampa Bay and another when he was with the Colts on a Monday night vs. Denver. The whole Denver secondary has angles to tackle him and he blows right throw them all untouched. Darrell Green was the only player to ever really chase him down from behind when he was in the clear.
We said if Dickerson would have run more toward the goal posts on that play he would have scored but it wasn't that close. Green caught him at the 16 yd. line. So he had a ways to go still. I was going to say he didn't catch Ron Brown on a kickoff return the following year (1987) but I don't know if Green played on kick coverage or not. Usually starters don't. I don't think he could catch Ron Brown.
Dieter Brock completed 6/22 for 50 yards passing. His QBRating was 20.6! He had no TD passes and 1INT thrown. Dickerson had 34 rushes for 248 yards. He scored 2 TDs. He had runs of 26, 40, and 55 yards. An amazing performance. The next week in the NFC Championship game against Chicago Dickerson had only 46 yards on 17 rushes. The 1985 Bears ended up 18-1!
The Rams of the 80s were very good but they always ran into super heavyweights like the 85 Bears and the 89 49ers. Although Rams fans would give anything to relieve those moments from the 70s and 80s in a heartbeat. These Rams today under Jeff Fisher is horrible and boring on top of it.
Allen Greene Jeff Fisher was NOT HC material in my view he was a poor man's BUDDY RYAN he thought too much about DEFENSE and not enough about OFFENSE!!!!
Allen Greene bro he's been fired since after the jets game... anyways we got a completely different coaching staff now and hopefully a winning season come our way!!!
Rams always been my team. As a kid I remember them in the 60s seeing them play at the coliseum parking on someone's lawn for a few $ to keep an eye on our ride. yeah the hot dogs and popcorn and a soda. That was the best for a kid so cool. Mom was a Rams fanatic. She one time got so caught up on a Rams TD she jubilantly swung her purse and smacked this big man's hat off his head when he turned around to confront the situation I said " When she gets excited lookout for her purse it happens to me Abunch" Thank God he was a Rams fan and mom apologied and bought him a bag of peanuts and a beer. She was a die hard fan Rams, Dodgers til she passed. Sure sold me on the Rams to this day and I'm 68 now. We even saw Kolfax pitch a perfect game. My wife was a Boston fan with the same temperament for Red Sox, Patriots and Bruins. She really rubbed it in about the Patriots dynasty. When the Rams lost to the Patriots in Superbowl she really twisted my leg. When the Rams won with Kurt the Superbowl she was really happy for me and our kids cuz they really loved the Rams. Sports is the best when your whole family gets into it. Togetherness for us was always swimming. she and her twin sister were in National Championship competition. They both joined the Navy exchanging what could be to serve and then getting married. Man I've been the luckiest man with our kids. Mom passed year and a half ago God Bless Her Heart and Soul. Sports were so big in our lives. We even had dinner in Vegas with Buster Douglas and his wife a month after he beat Tyson. That was one of our many thrills her favorite song was Bill Withers JUST THE 2 OF US. She said their are no losers in sports just quitters. You got to love both teams cuz it takes 2 to be 1
It’s amazing how lucky we are now to have great graphics on the screen on the screen. To tell you what down it is , the score and where the first down is. When I was a kid, you wouldn’t know what the hell was going on.
Amazing how this still brings out feelings of dooom as a then 13 yr. old "America's team" Cowboys fan living in Connecticut. You could see this was the beginning of the end of a great run by Coach Laundry. One '85 divisional playoff loss proceeded this '83 stinker and by '88 Coach Laundry retired following a 3-13 season. I bet many fans felt that way about this game, maybe even "the catch" game.
This is back when I was so young I would cry when the Cowboys lost. And we use to think their Dark Blue Uniforms were cursed, because they'd always lose in them... At least that's what we thought.
Running Back Eric Dickerson was the entire offense for the L.A. Rams, until they drafted quarterback Jim Everett out of Purdue University ,in the 1986 NFL Draft.
ED set the all time record for rushing yards in a season with teams knowing the Rams had nothing else but running with Dickerson left, and running with Dickerson right. Because Eric had the perfect combo of Speed, Power and Vision, teams couldn't stop this guy.
3rd record in 3 years:
‘83 - Rookie Rushing Record
‘84 - Single-Season Rushing Record
‘85 - Playoff Rushing Record

Sorry, but the great Paul Warfield had the smoothest stride in NFL history.

CFL trivia: QB Dieter Brock was a CFL HOFer and played in Winnipeg most of his career but in his final season he was traded to Hamilton for former Notre Dame QB Tom Clements who is also a CFL HOFer..... Big trade by CFL standards, and that season they met in the Grey Cup with each playing their former team. Tom Clements and Winnipeg beating Brock and Hamilton. Edit: Clements started career in Ottawa then played along time in Hamilton and final season in Winnipeg winning his 3rd Grey Cup with 3rd team. Brock never won a Grey Cup losing in 2 with 2 different teams.
And then he came to the Rams. ESPN was heavily televising the CFL back then so I saw Brock a lot with Winnipeg, but never saw him with the Ti-Cats at the end.
Oh those glorious Rams uniforms back then. The leagues best ever!!

I'll never forget how pissed off I was when Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry ! I used to love the Cowboy's, but after that dirty trick I nver liked the Cowboy's again !
It's interesting how many times I hear this. An argument can be made that Tom Landry should have been fired as early 1983. It was long overdue.
It was his time to go. This game is a perfect example. Outcoached and outplayed.
I have much respect for coach Landry but his time was done. He should have retired 2 years before. Jimmy Johnson was the perfect coach for the 90's Cowboys. Jones was an idiot for not bending over backwards to keep him.
@@macnultyosullivan9238 the game was evolving Tom was old school
Holy crap! Imagine how good this team could have been if they had a QB?
They kicked d bears butts d year before n d year after. This was d bears year.
Yep. They had a great receiver in Ellard. A great 0-line and a solid defense. A good QB would have made them as good as anybody.
Yeah,...we'd be having much different conversations these days about this time nowadays for sure
@@gordonreed2736 The '85 Bears were arguably the single greatest single-season team in NFL history, even greater than the '72 Dolphins (yes, the Dolphins handed the Bears their only loss that season, but that was in Miami and Shula had probably treated that game as his personal "Super Bowl" because he had members of the '72 Dolphins on the sideline and so forth).
@@WaltGekko So true Walt. Those bears were crushing everything. Even I wish they could have carried that magic a bit further. N give Peyton a SB touchdown. Come on Mike. Jim shoulda called an audible. Yep dat team was Special
Luv the nice crisp Ram logo on the 50 yard line🏈
Loved watching Eric Dickerson in the 80s. A combination of speed, power, grace and smoothness. It's too bad the Rams ownership at the time was so screwed up that they let him go instead of locking him up. He could have been one of the best of all time.
He IS one of the best of all time...
There no doubt that Eric Dickerson was one of the very best runners in his era and in the history of the league. It was always neck and neck between him and Walter Payton. NOBODY was as good as sweetness but Dickerson was a consummate and legit threat.
He is one of the best of all time. Many feel that he is THE best of all time. No one did what he did in their prime.
Dickerson top three for me....

There are a couple interesting things about this game. First, you have 2 of the all time great running backs going at it in Dickerson and Dorsett. At the time dorsett was already a legend, but many great backs came after him so you don’t hear his name as much. But when he retired, Jim brown and Payton were probably the only backs in front of him on the all time list.
Randy white was another beast of a player. You hear more about recent players these days, but the guy was a force to be reckoned with.
This was also the historic season for the 85 bear defense. The bears destroyed Dallas in the regular season and shut down Dickerson and the rams in the playoffs to go on to win the super bowl vs the patriots.
This is when the Cowboys were declining as the team was getting old and Landry was too inflexible about switching out of the "flex" defense that had become obsolete by then. Landry probably would have been forced to retire after the 1987 season except the strike gave him three extra wins he likely doesn't get without his main team going up against replacement players (Cowboys were 4-8 in non-strike games that year), keeping him there for 1988 and at that point, if Jerry Jones had not bought the Cowboys until later, '89 and some felt Rozelle should have stepped in and made clear the NFL would not approve the sale to Jones unless he agreed to let Landry coach in '89 so the NFL could do a "farewell tour" with Landry while Jimmy Johnson prepared to take over in 1990.
Dickerson was the most unstoppable force ever in his first 4 years with the Rams.
DrNuggetFTW Georgia Frontiere should have never traded him.
Dr Nugget strangely enough Dickerson grew up a Cowboy fan and Tex Schramm told him they would not draft him because they felt he was TOO SOFT and they did not believe he was that fast inspite of running BACK to BACK 40s in 4.31 in private workouts!!!

Gotta give Landry credit, that 85 Cowboys team really wasn't that good. But he still got them into the playoffs.
they went 10-6 and won their division...you gotta be pretty good to do that...not great, but good..
@@conni70 Won a division with the Giants and Washington back when they were two of the most well-run franchises in the league. Landry lost it bad after this and probably should have been fired or kicked upstairs in '87, but this seems like a genuinely good coaching job.
@@conni70 They won that division mainly because of ONE freak play where Phil Simms was intercepted and the ball was returned for a TD by the Cowboys. Otherwise, Giants win that game in Dallas and the NFC East.
@@pronkb000 He probably would have been forced to retire in '87 except he got three wins with his regular squad against replacement players during the strike when most of his regulars crossed picket lines. Cowboys were 4-8 in non-strike games that games. Otherwise he likely is out then.
@@WaltGekko Dude you don't win the division because of one freak play. The team won 10 games that year and beat the Giants twice and the Redskins twice. Given how old the team had gotten by that point I'd say it was probably one Coach Landry's best seasons and it was pretty much his last great moment.
The fact that the Rams made it to the NFC title game with one of the worst QB's to ever start a game in NFL history tells you how good this team was.
What? You're not a fan of Dieter Brack? Lol
I think he was from the CFL. The Rams had one of the worst quarterbacks of the best, so they thought they'd try one of the best quarterbacks of the worst.
How much did that rug cost Stram? You can hardly tell it's fake lol

Historic game by Dickerson and he got stronger as the game went on...Everson walls was a phenomenal corner love watching him play

Ellard was a beast under rated ball player
Amazing the difference from 1985 to now..........might as well have been 100 years. ....that is the difference!!!!
I loved football back then.
I just like it now.
It seem like the Game was what was important then.
Now it's everything but the game that's important.
Dieter Brock was horrible , Dickerson won this game
Brock was 1/10 for -4 yards in the second half! If not for Dickerson it would've stayed 3-0, the way both teams were playing otherwise.
the rams receivers were pretty lousy at catching passes when they were actually accurate.
1 week later he was even worse vs 85 Bears...i'm Canadian but Dieter was out of his league jumping to the NFL ... Great CFL career but 85 Rans were good due to Dickerson, Ellard and defense....not Dieter Brock.
the Rams offensive line & defense won this game..
This game could have been called “the tale of two crappy quarterbacks”
In this game, sure. However, Danny White was a mostly excellent QB who, before his wrist was broken, could sling it with anyone. He gets overlooked because he came between Roger and Troy, but he did QB the Cowboys into several NFC Championship games and he was a tough (had to be with a decaying O-Line), accurate, passer. He sucked in this game, but he was far from a crappy quarterback.
Dieter Brock is, as so many others note, a CFL Hall of Famer with a legendary cannon for an arm. He was also relatively short for a QB and was running the most archaic offense in the NFL -- so many commentators from the 1984-1986 era mocked the Stone Age approach of the Rams. Brock was never given much to do and he managed to win (in 1985) by handing off the Dickerson and showing good accuracy with short, safe, passes. Not much different from every other Rams QB of the "Eric Era" --- a pity, too, as he won the job because he could launch it. And then they seldom had him launch it.
The truth hurts doesn't it? Danny White was ok, but no Roger Staubach!
Dieter Brock? Uh...pass the peanuts!

Dickerson was the perfect blend of speed and power.
Tony Dorsette was no slouch either.
I use to love watching 33 glide.
Dorsette isn't the greatest, but still my favorite.. and Rodney Hampton
Jack Buck and Hank Stram use to be the radio Voices for MNF games....they were an awesome team
It’s so weird in the beginning, talking about how each player is getting paid 10k this week and 18k next week if they win. Different times
THANK YOU! GREAT UPLOAD. I watched this game in South Korea while stationed with the 2nd Inf Division, and had the flu. Had to drag myself out of bed to see my team win.
Wuuup!
I watched it at work.
Working pt.time while going back to school, after serving first in the Army reserve and later the regular coast guard.
Watching this reminds me that I have never seen someone run that fast effortlessly since. Even the current Rams RB Todd Gurley and Adrian Peterson are not able to do this. Yes they are plenty fast,but you can see it takes a huge effort from them to be fast.Many strides needed to run the distance. Eric was fast without appearing to even be trying. Count how few strides he needed to cover 40 yards , just amazing.
WOW in HI Def!
Best era of football to watch, simple, hard hitting, no political B.S., pre Roger Goodell
Goodell is awful. Pete Rozelle was the best commissioner in the history of sports.
I w as at this game...loved it
I was to bro. Dan I'm old. ☮️
Interesting at the start of Dallas' first drive, they show Danny White's numbers and his completion percentage is 59.3% and that's 3rd highest in the NFC at that time. That's barely better than Trevor Lawrence's percentage at the moment: 58.7%. Granted White also threw 21 TDs which is way more than Lawrence's current tally of 9, but he also threw 17 interceptions which is also more than TL: 14. And this is with similar amounts of total passing yards from both QBs.
Just saying: times have changed.
Interceptions were more accepted as part of the game back then. The West Coast Offense was only in its infancy stage at that time. QB's were more downfield passers, which led to a lower completion % and a higher # of INTS.
Best running back of ALL TIME
In video game history
@@isopropylalcohol4346 Wasn't that Bo Jackson? Never played it but I heard he was unstoppable on Tecmo bowl lol
Justin Pettit Dickerson was unstoppable bruh
No, that would be Barry Sanders. Dickerson was top 5 though.
I agree he was the whole team.
Ask the '85 Bears their opinion of him ! Better yet, watch his timid performance against them in the championship game...January 12, 1986... Rams 0 vs Bears 24.
That Monday night loss at Miami was the best thing that happened to the '85 Bears! Ditka and Ryan relieved some stress with each other and Chicago went into steamroller mode from there.
Singletary jacked him up,that day, diminished his rep and legacy in one play!
To Tall Jones was still playing lol dam lol
Hank Stram sounds like Quagmire!
robert cameron Yeah he does lol
Christopher John lol..so true.
robert cameron Giggity giggity goo?
When I was a kid, I loved the Dallas Cowboys. I was 11 years old in 1985 and Danny White was my hero. But looking back now, I realize he wasn't very good. Quite inaccurate and seemed to throw as many to the other team as he did to his teammates. LOL. Memories.
And a big deal was made when Gary Hogeboom was traded to the Colts after that season, who looked at him as their savior.
Dude that's not the case at all. Danny had a bad day in this game but he was one of the few things holding the team together by 85. The next year Dallas was 6-2 going into the game against the Giants where Danny White was lost for the season and ended up 1-7 without him at starting QB. He wasn't Joe Montana or Roger Staubach but he was a quality starter that won a lot of games for the Cowboys and a player that kept them relevant as the team slowly degraded in the last years of Coach Landry.
Danny White was very good. This is just one game go look up his stats I believe he led the league in passing at least one year his main problems were starting at an older age and his career because he was backing up Staubach. He also was not a huge man and suffered injuries.
no penalty flags in entire first qrter!...imagine that..nfl sucks now
Steam and the other coach are geniuses. They know ALL the plays. Great description etc. Like Madden.
Great game.
Jack Buck noted the $10,000 per player they would get for winning this game and a chance to make another $18,000 in the NFC Championship Game. This is when salaries were MUCH lower and that playoff money was huge for such player.
Super Bowl Winners also got $36K per man whileSuper Bowl Losers got 18K per Man. Wild Card Teams got $6K per man for playing in that round. In 1982 when that pay scale took effect Washington’s players made $70K for winning the Super Bowl and Miami got $52K sine all the playoff teams(8 per conference in 1982)m played in what was really the Wild Card round.
At 10:37 That was one of the worst call I’ve ever seen! How in the hell could the Refs call that a sack? That was such an incredibly fast call & obviously not the correct call! And to hear the announcers talking & going along with that call is insane! It was worse than Marshun Lynch’s tackle calling him down prematurely!
Yeah it was a bad call lol
Damn I loved football back then.
I just like it now..
Teams hand character and identity.
Now it just seems like it's a bunch of individual mercenaries... And way way softer.
Here is a trivia item.....At this game Dickerson ran for 238 yards. The next week he played the 1985 Bears. Dickerson had 17 carries for 46 yards.....and I believe he had 10 yards on his first carry.
Dickerson use to do a local sports show round up at a local LA tv station and someone brought up the 1985 bears once and he waved his arms and basically said stop stop I can't take it.
That's how good the 1985 bears were
He probably cringes at the memory of the 85 NFC Championship Game. 46 total rushing yards, 2.7/carry (2.1 after his first carry). He was embarrassed that day, he got beat up! an unassisted Mike Singletary stood him up & pancaked him on a 3rd & 1, forever diminishing his rep as an all-time elite power back.
Those Bear teams would have won 3-4 SBs if they didn’t have lame Ditka as coach. In fact, Buddy Ryan won that 85 SB, not Ditka. So much talent wasted all them years on a bum coach. Then he went and ruined the Saints!
Dieter Brock was an absolutely horrible QB! He missed pass after pass when he wasn’t having his passes blocked by the Cowboys. The Rams might have done better to just hand off to Dickerson every play? It was nauseating to watch him play. Thank God for Dickerson!!
Yes, a complete and utter waste.of space...
"Big Bad Cowboys" Been years since we heard that.
You'll hear it again soon enough. Zeke and eventually Jaylon Smith will show the league how good they are.

Classic L.A. Rams playoff game, and vintage Dickerson. 1:48:20, HOFer badass DE Jack Youngblood, fresh into retirement this pre-season. Also, 1:30:25 - Kevin Greene, future HOFer - rookie season.
Why is Henry Ellard not in the Hall of Fame? 800+ receptions at 17 yards a pop!
Yes, there are 33 players with 800+ receptions and he has the highest yards/reception at 16.93 yds. almost 1 full yard ahead of 2nd place (Largent).
Well, he was never considered truly elite. He also played in the same conference as Jerry Rice. The Rams also never made it to the Super Bowl. He has great numbers, but just ranks a notch below guys like Rice and Andre Reed.
Correction: the L.A. Rams never made it to the Super Bowl. The St. Louis Rams went TWICE. They even won one.
No, that is incorrect. The LA Rams played in Super Bowl XIV in 1980, (1979 NFL Season) at the Rose Bowl where they were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19. The game was much closer than the score indicates as the lead changed hands 6 times. Henry Ellard was not on that team. He was not drafted by the Rams until 1983.
Incorrect. The 1979 Los Angeles Rams made it to the Super Bowl and gave the Pittsburgh Steelers one heck of a game!
The Rams played great but all Brock could do was hand off to Dickerson.
Dickerson was the entire offense. Dieter Brock flat out sucked.
Lewis It wasn't that Brock flat out sucked it was the offense was built around Dickerson it was just like Robinson was in college SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA where he ran a equally conservative offense.
No Brock pretty much sucked. Plus he was already 35 or so. Look at it this way, he played just the one season in the NFL. No one else wanted him even for a backup. Robinson wasn't that conservative a coach at USC. They threw when it was good for them or if they needed to. But they didn't need to throw that much with guys like Ricky Bell, Charles White and Marcus Allen running behind offensive lines that are 1st and 2nd round picks in the draft.
bbigjohnson069 agreed...Good O-Line, Dickerson to take pressure off the qb and the great Henry Ellard at WR but Dieter was horrible in the NFL .
I so remember wstching this in the dayroom in my barracks at Ft. Bragg.
I'm a Bears fan and these playoffs were big for me.
Probably the most anemic division champion in franchise history, but maybe Landry's best coaching job to get them there.
It is *such* a delight to see Men playing The Game, without the theatrics and dancing that occurs after (almost) every Play nowadays.
A rare home game televised. The Raiders and Rams home games were rarely shown locally.
First and only time to date both LA teams were at home on a playoff weekend--better yet this coming the week after both the Giants and Jets hosted the respective wildcards which is the only time THAT'S happened
I had forgotten that.
@@mgb4692 That is why in 1985 the wild card games were played on separate days. Both the Jets and Giants were hosting so they had to go on separate days. For three seasons in a row the wild card games were on separate days.
I met Tony Dorsett at Walter Reed in 2005. Got to spend time with him. He would try to connect with you. I don’t know if he ever played against my school back in the day but he said he did a couple times and the one thing he hated-they hit him hard and one of very few times held under 100 yards. He asked who I thought he wanted to play for coming out of college-told him that is too easy...you wanted to play for the Steelers. He asked how did I know that-your from West PA, no one else anyone would want to play for except the Steelers. I explained Dan Marino wanted to play for the Steelers...but we drafted Mark Malone in the first round. He asked me how I felt about him. “Best bounce passer since Magic Johnson.” Fun had by all.
They could exhume Jack and he'd be more exciting than joe
WORD.
This game actually was really fun to watch...and I thought the commentating was great. But back in 1985, I dont know how either one of these teams thought they would have a chance in Chicago next week.
The Cowboys had faced Chicago earlier in this season and it resulted in Dallas' worst home loss ever, 44-0. Loved it! Yes, the Bears were doing the "Super Bowl Shuffle" all over the rest of the league!
Why would anybody outside of Miami think they had a chance against the Bears that year? They pretty well demolished everybody that season except the Fins.
Hank Stram .......The Boss
Love the L.A. Rams from the 70's and 80's but Brock is one of the worst QB's I have ever seen.
That's probably why he only lasted one season. I wish Vince Ferragamo had still been our QB in '85. He broke his thumb in the third game of the '84 season, and then John Robinson decided to keep Jeff Kemp in as starter for the remainder of that season. When they acquired Dieter Brock during the offseason, Ferragamo was traded. Vince may have been a bit past his prime in '85, but I think the Rams could have won a few more games with him running the offense instead of Brock.
Yes, the QB position was always the achilles heel of those Rams teams.
the rams vintage uniforms may be the best overall in the NFL.
Lauren Pinnock naw
I'll take Chargers powder blue please. These aren't bad.

Eric Dickerson is tha best running back in NFL History 😀
You funny man.
I totally agree with you bro. To think howe many yards he would have gained if he just would have been paid what he deserved.
RIP Chris Schultz of the Toronto Argos, Dallas Cowboys and University of Arizona Wildcats.
Eric Dickerson personified the perfect combination of POWER, SPEED and GRACE!...The most beautiful runner of all-time. (pause)
Alex you want to see Dickerson at his best look at the 85 yd td run vs the NY Jets his rookie year!!!!
Coach Robinson was always on him in practice because he didn't think he was running at full speed. "Eric we're running this at full speed now." "Coach I AM running full speed." After the run against the Jets, Robinson realized that he was running at full speed in practice he just didn't LOOK like he was. He has a couple more runs: In 1984, at Tampa Bay and another when he was with the Colts on a Monday night vs. Denver. The whole Denver secondary has angles to tackle him and he blows right throw them all untouched. Darrell Green was the only player to ever really chase him down from behind when he was in the clear.
+bbigjohnson069 Yes Darrell Green used his world class footspeed in the 100m 10.08 to catch not only Dickerson but JERRY RICE&TONY DORSETT as well.
We said if Dickerson would have run more toward the goal posts on that play he would have scored but it wasn't that close. Green caught him at the 16 yd. line. So he had a ways to go still. I was going to say he didn't catch Ron Brown on a kickoff return the following year (1987) but I don't know if Green played on kick coverage or not. Usually starters don't. I don't think he could catch Ron Brown.
Yes he did his run vs NY Jets as a rookie 85 yds was the perfect example
Dieter Brock completed 6/22 for 50 yards passing. His QBRating was 20.6! He had no TD passes and 1INT thrown.
Dickerson had 34 rushes for 248 yards. He scored 2 TDs. He had runs of 26, 40, and 55 yards. An amazing performance. The next week in the NFC Championship game against Chicago Dickerson had only 46 yards on 17 rushes. The 1985 Bears ended up 18-1!
The Rams of the 80s were very good but they always ran into super heavyweights like the 85 Bears and the 89 49ers. Although Rams fans would give anything to relieve those moments from the 70s and 80s in a heartbeat. These Rams today under Jeff Fisher is horrible and boring on top of it.
Allen Greene Jeff Fisher was NOT HC material in my view he was a poor man's BUDDY RYAN he thought too much about DEFENSE and not enough about OFFENSE!!!!
Dwight Love You're not lying.
Allen Greene bro he's been fired since after the jets game...
anyways we got a completely different coaching staff now and hopefully a winning season come our way!!!
Christian Giovanni Romero You mean the Atlanta game and I know even though I'm not a big fan of the hire.
Allen Greene why? I know jes young and untested but it could go really really well like mile Tomlin
I had my new 29 ON AND popcorn and on the floor ?????????????????????
Rams always been my team. As a kid I remember them in the 60s seeing them play at the coliseum parking on someone's lawn for a few $ to keep an eye on our ride. yeah the hot dogs and popcorn and a soda. That was the best for a kid so cool. Mom was a Rams fanatic. She one time got so caught up on a Rams TD she jubilantly swung her purse and smacked this big man's hat off his head when he turned around to confront the situation I said " When she gets excited lookout for her purse it happens to me Abunch" Thank God he was a Rams fan and mom apologied and bought him a bag of peanuts and a beer. She was a die hard fan Rams, Dodgers til she passed. Sure sold me on the Rams to this day and I'm 68 now. We even saw Kolfax pitch a perfect game. My wife was a Boston fan with the same temperament for Red Sox, Patriots and Bruins. She really rubbed it in about the Patriots dynasty. When the Rams lost to the Patriots in Superbowl she really twisted my leg. When the Rams won with Kurt the Superbowl she was really happy for me and our kids cuz they really loved the Rams. Sports is the best when your whole family gets into it. Togetherness for us was always swimming. she and her twin sister were in National Championship competition. They both joined the Navy exchanging what could be to serve and then getting married. Man I've been the luckiest man with our kids. Mom passed year and a half ago God Bless Her Heart and Soul. Sports were so big in our lives. We even had dinner in Vegas with Buster Douglas and his wife a month after he beat Tyson. That was one of our many thrills her favorite song was Bill Withers JUST THE 2 OF US. She said their are no losers in sports just quitters. You got to love both teams cuz it takes 2 to be 1
the cowboys looked tired in this game they didnt swarm to the ball like they normaly do in post season.and they didnt block very well for dorsett.
It’s amazing how lucky we are now to have great graphics on the screen on the screen. To tell you what down it is , the score and where the first down is. When I was a kid, you wouldn’t know what the hell was going on.
It's called "paying attention".
MacNulty O'Sullivan No, it’s called turning on the tv 📺 in the middle of a game not know who was Winning and what down it was until 5 minutes later.
Yeah couldn’t follow until I was about nine or ten
This is one of the worse QB's I have seen in my life and I'm 60. Thank goodness for Dickerson.
Amazing how this still brings out feelings of dooom as a then 13 yr. old "America's team" Cowboys fan living in Connecticut. You could see this was the beginning of the end of a great run by Coach Laundry. One '85 divisional playoff loss proceeded this '83 stinker and by '88 Coach Laundry retired following a 3-13 season. I bet many fans felt that way about this game, maybe even "the catch" game.
This is back when I was so young I would cry when the Cowboys lost.
And we use to think their Dark Blue Uniforms were cursed, because they'd always lose in them... At least that's what we thought.
@@Peakfreud My parents used to think I was crazy when I would react like this when the 'Boys lost.
Running Back Eric Dickerson was the entire offense for the L.A. Rams, until they drafted quarterback Jim Everett out of Purdue University ,in the 1986 NFL Draft.
And he sucked too... interception king 👑
@@catonthemoon2084 tell me about be it we ended up with his sorry ass here in NAWLINS. Whatever you do don't call him Chris Everett lol
"The Blade" or "Eddie Haskell"
ED set the all time record for rushing yards in a season with teams knowing the Rams had nothing else but running with Dickerson left, and running with Dickerson right. Because Eric had the perfect combo of Speed, Power and Vision, teams couldn't stop this guy.
Dickerson had a lot of help from that O-line.
