Larry Bethea Stuffs Jim Jodat On 4th-and-1 (Cowboys @ Rams, 1978 NFC Championship Game)

Dallas was leading 7-0 in a defensive struggle, but Los Angeles was marching deep into Cowboy territory as the third quarter wound down. Foregoing a field-goal attempt on Coliseum's rain-soaked surface, Rams head coach Ray Malavasi kept his offense on the field on fourth-and-1. That's when rookie defensive lineman Larry Bethea made one of his most significant plays of the 1978 season for the Cowboys, stuffing Los Angeles running back Jim Jodat at the line of scrimmage to end the scoring threat. Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier call the action for CBS. Enjoy!
