Title: VIDEO- Very brief clip on a Cowboys VS Giants game in the 70s (I think)

Can anyone nail down the year?

My guess is that it has to be anywhere between 1970-72; that was Fred Dryer wearing #89.  Craig Morton was quarterbacking the 'Boys at that time.

It's a clip from the memorable 1970 game where the Giants came from behind and won 23-20 ... a game where Pete Gogolak  kicked a then-NFL record 54-yard FG only to have it eclipsed, later in the day ironically enough, by Tom Dempsey who kicked that 63-yarder for the Saints against the Lions.

Frank Glieber and Frank Gifford are calling the PbP.

I have the DVD on this game (a partial) which consists of the third and most of the fourth quarters.

Peace!

K-Man,  Thanks so much for the info!  It's great to see pre-1977 Giants footage any time!
:ok:
