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.
