Notes:
1) Washington overcomes a 20-0 half-time deficit on the strength of Larry
Brown's running.
2) Kenny Houston stops the "unstopable" Walt Garrison on the one yard line
on the game's final play.
3) After knocking Roger Staubach out of the game, unknown Clint Longley
throws 3 long touchdown passes including one on the final play (to Drew
Pearson). This is the game that put Dallas on Thanksgiving on a regular
basis.
4) Billy Kilmer sneak in overtime.
5) A seemingly superhuman defensive effort against the leagues top two
offenses. Redskins make what is perhaps the greatest goal-line stand in
team history.
6) Roger Staubach's last regular season game and the greatest comeback in
his career.
7) Season opener. The Skins dominate the first half and the Cowboys pull
off an amazing comeback victory. Also, includes play where rookie Daryl
Green shocks Tony Dorsett by running him down from behind.
8) THE most hyped regular season game in league history. The Skins
dominate and Dallas blows their cool. Dallas was no longer called
"America's Team" after this game.
9) Daryl Green's int. return for a touchdown at the beginning of the
second half sparks a comeback from a large deficit.
10) Dallas stops the Redskins' dream of a perfect season.
11) Troy Aikman fumbles and the Skins recover in the end zone with just
over two minutes left.
12) Previously undefeated Cowboys are upset by heavy underdog Skins in
their first meeting. In their second meeting, the Boys had a chance to
clinch a playoff berth and Emmitt Smith had a chance to beat John
Riggen's Touchdown record, but once again there was a surprise upset.
