Some Great History On Thanksgiving Day,Here IMHO Are The Most Memorable:
1-1966 Dallas 26 Cleveland 14-Coach Landry Said Going Into This One It Was The Biggest Game In Franchise History And The Team Responded,Don Perkins and the Defense Were Outstanding
2-1973 Miami 14 Dallas 7-The Matchup Of The Past 2 Super Bowl Champs Was A Tense Defensive Battle,The Dolphins Defense Was Just Tough To Score On.Dallas Had 2 Big Chances After They Went Down 14-0,Roger Staubach Barely Missed Bob Hayes On A Wide Open 70+ Yard Pump And Go And Miami Stopped Them On a 4th Down Play Inside the 10 When Roger Audibled To A Calvin Hill Pitch.The Last Time Roger Called His Own Plays In A Game.
3-1974-Dallas 24 Washington 23-The Best One Ever IMHO.Clint Longley Has A Game For The Ages.After Roger Gets KO'ed,Longley Throws For 203 Yards In A Quarter And A Half.Duane Thomas Scores 2 TD's For The Commanders To Add To The Drama But Longley Puts The Game Winner Up In The Sky To Drew Pearson For An Improbable Comeback.The Route By Drew To Set Up The Commanders DB'S Was Simply Amazing
4-1979 Houston 30 Dallas 24-Great Matchup Between the 2 Texas Teams.Earl Campbell Is Unstoppable,Roger Staubach Has A Great Day As Well.A 12 Men Penalty Gives The Oilers A 2nd Chance To Go Up,Then Staubach Leads The Cowboys On A Dramatic Drive That Just Falls Short.
5-1993 Miami 16 Dallas 14-Snow And Ice In Dallas Leads To A Close Defensive Contest.Kevin Williams And Lincoln Coleman Have Big Days.The Cowboys Snatch Defeat From Victory When Leon Lett Attempts To Recover The Game Cliching FG Block.Dallas Will Not Lose Again Under Jimmy Johnson.
6-1994 Dallas 42 Green Bay 31-The Power And Talent Of The Cowboys Is Simply Too Strong.Jason Garrett Puts Up 36 Points In A Brilliant 2nd Half And Emmitt Smith Has An Big Game Behind The "Great Wall"
7-1998 Minnesota 46 Dallas 36-Randy Moss And The Vikings Offense Are Unstoppable.Troy Aikman Does Everything To Keep Dallas In It But The Abscence Of Deion Sanders Is Too Much For The Dallas Secondary.
