A list of the top ten players on other teams that made us miserable. The players are split, for the most part, by those on playoff teams and those in the NFC East. A few of them are both. The players selected didn't necessarily have the best stats, they were the daggers in some of the Cowboys most historic losses.

1. Lynn Swan - WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

2. John Riggins - RB, Washington Commanders

3. Dwight Clark - WR, San Fransisco 49ers

4. Charley Taylor- WR, Washington Commanders

5. Aaron Rodgers - QB, Green Bay Packers

6. Wilbert Montgomery - RB, Philadelphia Eagles

7 Aeneus Williams - CB, Cardinals and Rams

8. Randy Moss - WR, Minnesota Vikings

9. Terry Bradshaw - QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

10. Ricky Watters - RB, 49ers and Eagles

Dishonorable Mention:

Ken Houston, Santana Moss, Joe Montana, Eric Dickerson. Art Monk, Paul Warfield, Sonny Jergeson, Diron Talbert, Jerome Brown, Deion Sanders, Mike Curtis, Leroy Kelly, Harold Carmichael. DeSean Jackson, Terrell Owens, Lito Shephard, Dexter Manley, Clyde Simmons

I'm sure the list is incomplete and there are opinions on the ranking. However, I would find it difficult to pick a player other than Lynn Swan for #1. Four receptions for 161 yards and a TD in Super Bowl 10, seven receptions for 124 yards and a TD in Super Bowl 13. In those two SB's combined, he caught 11 passes for a total of 285 yards and 2 TD's. That was an average of 25.9 yards a reception.
I think you forgot the most important one, Jerry Jones

Did you forget we beat the great Aaron Rodgers in his house. We owned him in the 90s.

There’s not one player out there that consistently beat the Cowboys. That didn’t do the same to other teams If there are any cowboy killers we did it to Ourselves

I know of alot of people were talking about the Dez non catch BUT even if that scores holds up, the one legged Mr. State Farm still had just under 2 minutes to drive them in FG range. Who knows maybe he throws an INT but would not have like those odds considering we did not stop him all game.

I would also put Jack Lambert and Lawrence Taylor on that list.

Yeah I guess I did forget about all those victories against Aaron Rodgers in the 90s. Especially since he did not enter the league until 2005
Typo we owned them in the 90s. It was two separate statements. Apologies .Prescott was one of the very few quarterbacks to beat Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay.

#29 Harold Jackson-Rams, he may have not owned the Cowboys but he owned then CB Charlie Waters, his play against him forced the team to switch him to safety, which in the end turned out to be a great move.

Jerry Rice .....

Eric Dickerson set the NFL record for single game rushing total in a playoff game (against us Cowboys) with an astounding 250 yards,.. that even ranks ahead of John Riggins and waaay of Rickey Watters in my book ...

Clyde Simmons over Reggie White ? And no mention of Reggie White at all ?

:omg:
Reggie White was owned by Eric Williams repeatedly. Are we starting a new list?

Montana to Clark...

I had nightmares about that. Still do. Montana must be on this list. I will also add Eli Manning. He always played well vs the Cowboys. Always.
