was botched by the comedy team of Eddie McMillan and Steve Preece.

Still a great year. Loved Chuck Knox despite his conservative offense.

McMillan was trailing and tried to long arm the ball but was too far behind
but not much--but Preece, IMO, could have broken up the play
rather than try and catch the ball . . .

Awful play by Rams D.

The play before that Merlin Olsen has sacked Staubach and the Rams took Olsen out and brought in an extra Linebacker in Bob Stein. Not Ray's finest hour, however, he learned from that experience because when he was Head Coach in 79 the Rams beat the Cowboys by employing a 4-7 defense that frustrated Staubach right into retirement.
