[theebs]

27 years ago today, 11-22-90 The cowboys played the Commanders on thanksgiving.
Troy Aikman coming off his fantastic day against the LA Rams threw his first Turkey day TD to Michael Irvin. This was Michael Irvin's first Thanksgiving day TD also!
Look how familiar the play is!


also

same game Rookie Emmitt Smith runs for his first Thanksgiving Day TD!

and later Emmitt Smith did this.

so to recap Aikman, Irvin & Emmitt all scored their first thanksgiving day td on this day 27 years ago! This was the week the team really changed for the better so it is fitting!

Was there in 1991 from DC with the whole family(I was too cool for a jersey but had the boots on)

Beat PITT 20-10 on a Michael Irvin 66 yd TD

I'm going to post a bunch of various plays from the thanksgiving games from 90-96. I will include that play! That was my favorite cowboys season ever and I loved that turkey day game.

Must've been nice to see it live.

I love watching games from the good ole days, makes me happy. Btw, did you notice Irvin didn't get both feet down on that TD? I almost forgot about the old "force out" rule.

We long for those days

I have this game on VHS.
I plan to convert it to digital over the off season most likely.

 

[RS12]

Yes and I long for those days.

Remember it like it was yesterday...

 

[jazzcat22]

This was the game Madden and Summerall were talking about all the draft picks Dallas had coming. Pat said...if the Cowboys get lucky, and that is exactly what the draft is most of the time, is luck, they will be a very good team for a long time....

This was when Emmitt had his long TD run to pretty much seal the game.

And a catch was actually a catch
