Emmitt Smith game that defined toughness

Fond memories of that game. If we would have lost we would have been a wildcard team. With a win we had home field advantage. I think Emmitt had 118 total yards with bruised ribs and a dislocated shoulder.

The definition of tough. The definition of class. He earned and deserved all that he accomplished.

He had 162 total yards.
 
Remember John Madden admitting going in the Cowboys locker room after the game to personally shake his hand. Something I'm not sure he'd ever done as a broadcaster.


This may be the single most important game of my lifetime.... for me.

I lost 500 dollars this weekend, and 250 on this game. I was only 23 and that was a ton of money for me at that time. It cured me of any betting on nfl games. We killed the Giants earlier in that season, and we were giving 3.5 pts. That game went into ot and back then all teams did was kick a fg... we won, and I lost.
 
I was at that game with my best friend and fellow Cowboys fan in "enemy" territory here in Jersey........................It was at the old Giants Stadium (what a piece of plastic garbage that dump was) , with the worst tasting flat beer you've ever drank..........................When Murray's kick went up , we both leaped to our feet and screamed like brainless banshees (which we kinda' are , I guess) ; meanwhile this monster (6'8" or more and about 350 lbs) behind us literally tore one of the seats out after losing TEN GRAND on the game......................I still have the ticket stub...................
 
I love Zeke, I really do. But man, I really wish he had a head on his shoulders and the maturity of Emmitt. If he did, he’d be by far my favorite current Cowboy.
At least he's not an Irvin
 
That was a great game. I have a copy on VHS tape. Plan to convert it to digital. But if it is on you tube, could just download it from there. But then it will be fun watching the game as I convert it too. As if downloaded, if available, I won't take the time to watch it right away.
