A 7th-round pick from Fort Valley State in Georgia, Rayfield Write began his career as a Tight End for Dallas in 1967. Has 2 career catches, 1 was a 15-yard touchdown against the Eagles in 1968. Switched to tackle in 1969, started 113 games between then and 1979. Selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
Cowboys runner Calvin Hill is upended by Houston Oiler linebacker George Webster, maybe sometime in the early 1970s. The other Cowboys shown are #61, Blaine Nye and Rayfield Wright, #70.
With Rayfield Write blocking against Steelers great Mean Joe Greene Calvin Hill advances the ball. We think this is from the 1972 contest between the Steelers and Cowboys where Hill rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown in a 17-13 Dallas win.
Is that Mike Ditka on the ground behind Mean Joe?

Some intense action from Super Bowl V.

That's Mike Ditka (#89) running the pass route in the background.
