Roger Staubach 1975 NFC Divisional Game Hail Mary Pass With nicknames like ‘Captain America’ and ‘Captain Comeback’, Staubach’s play at the quarterback position during the 1970s made the Cowboys one of the decade's best teams. Also knows as ‘Roger the Dodger’, Staubach's legacy grew every time he extended drives and plays using his scrambling ability to lead the Cowboys on late game drives to victory. Espectilly in big games. One of the most famous games of his career encapsulated all of his nicknames. During a 1975 NFC Divisional Playoff game, the Cowboys trailed the Minnesota Vikings 14-10 late in the fourth. With seconds left at midfield, Staubach launched a last effort pass deep to the end zone. As the Hall of Fame QB recalled, he said a Hail Mary prayer while the ball was in the air. Wide receiver Drew Pearson came down with the ball and scored the game-winning TD. Captain America saved the Cowboys as they won 17-14. This is when the popularity of the Hail Mary pass began.
