Can recall the Cowboys Giants most memorable games ?

Here's a look at My ranked list:

1) Emmitt Smith separate shoulder game 1993
2) 2007- NFC Divisional Playoff game (NYG Manning leads upset)
3) 1998- Deion Sanders vs NYG, (beats NYG all 3 phases of game)
4) 2011 - Eli Manning comeback - JPP blocked FG
5) 1985 -NYGiants at Dallas Jeffcoat 65yd tipped INT return for TD
6) 2014 - The Catch (O.J. Beckham acrobatic one hand grab for TD)
7) 1986 - Hershel Walker’s NFL debut (winning TD score)
8) 1981- RB Rob Carpenter game
9) 1986 -Danny White broken wrist (Phil Pozderac whiff missed block)
10) 1987 -Jim Jeffcoat intercepted batted pass and returned 26 yards for the touchdown

December 4, 1960. Eddie LaBaron throws a TD to Billy Howton in the 4th quarter to tie the Giants 31-31. It was the only game that the Cowboys didn't lose in their first season-to finish at 0-10-1--and it came against the team on which Landry had played and coached.

2007 was the most painful.

The Romo 8 seconds to throw comeback win was pretty incredible.

The meaningless Dak comeback with the Cole Beasley knee drag catch was awesome

Surprised everyone missed the Emitt Smith game in the Meadowlands to win the division under Jimmy. Never mind!

Losses are not memorable games.
As painful as losses are (specifically playoff games) ,.. they are still indeed memorable games.
..and it can go both ways.

49ers' WR Dwight Clark's "The Catch" still remains most memorable playoff loss ever to me. :(

To this day I get upset just seeing the highlight. That is my #1 worst Cowboy loss. The 2nd worst loss was ‘94 playoffs to the niners. 3rd worst loss was 2007 against the Giants.

Favorite win is ‘92 NFFCG against the niners. Than the Super Bowls.

One of my favorite regular season wins is 2014 at Seattle. Another is 2021 at Patriots.

And one win that will always be special for me is retiring Tom Brady in his house last year. That one means a lot too.

Mine was 2007. That was soul crushing
Because the Eli Manning led Giants eventually took on and shockingly upset the GOAT of them all in record breaking Tom Brady and Randy Moss in the SB, that's what help soothe the burning scars some.. (at least it did to me)

That told me their win over us on our home turf wasn't a fluke win..

The Jeffcoat Groundhog Day Games were two of my most memorable. Simms must still have nightmares of Too Tall tipping passes to Jeffcoat for TDs.

2006 at NYG.

Romo leads the game-winning drive with a seam strike to Witten. Gramatica wins it with a 46-yd FG.

Romo's 6th career start (5-1 record) and 1st career GW drive.
