Most memorable Cowboys-Commanders game for you?

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Good question and thread, but there are way too many to have just one that stands out.
Probably the 1979 game when Roger brought the team from behind twice to win 35-34 to win the division.

That's the one I remember.

Remember that game. Playmaker's rookie season!!!

Preview of things to come. Irvin, Gogan and Newton all there. Irvin was so Irvin in that game. Flamboyant, energized and a playmaker.

Remember Irvin was the one who would tell Jimmy the guys that were there just to collect a check and didn't care about winning...

There's lots of good memories in this thread. I'm gonna throw one out there that isn't from one of our good teams, but it's a good memory for me. It was the 2002 Turkey Day game against the Skins. Our team, led by Dave Campo, was not very good. Chad Hutchinson was the qb. I expected very little from this bunch, but they fought hard. Roy Williams got a big interception and took it to the house. Emmitt turned back the clock and ran for 144 yards. And the Boys got the win 27 - 20. I think I look back fondly on this game, because Emmitt was one of my favorite players, and to see him have a big game, when it was clear that he was approaching the end of the line, was pretty sweet. The fact that he did it in a winning effort against the hated Skins made the Thanksgiving pecan pie even sweeter.

1979 season finale. Scoring two TD's in the final 2:20 to come from behind and win 35-34 clinching the NFC east and knocking the Commanders out of the playoffs.

Unfortunately, I've only been a fan since about 2002...

All the memorable Skins/Cowboys games since then have usually gone in the Commanders favor...

First memory of Cowboys Commanders was Herschel Walker catching a long pass from Steve Pelluer in a 30-6 victory in 1986.

I attended two games vs Washington. The 7-6 win in 2009 and the 31-16 victory in 2013 when Dwayne Harris went off.

Other fond memories
1988 beating the Commanders for Landry's last win
1989 Jimmy's first win
1990 Emmitt outracing Darrell Green on Thanksgiving to seal the deal.
1991 knocking off the undefeated Skins
1992. Knocking off the defending champs
1999 Aikman to Rocket
2001 Quincy to Rocket
2004 Testaverde hits Crayton out of nowhere. I lose my mind while the only person in a bar called Detox.
2007 Owens 4Tds
2013 Romo rallies team with a herniated disc
2016 Dak and Zeke's first victory

1974Thanksgivingday game,Longley to Pearson.

 

[Tabascocat]

Our only win in '89 because it was the beginning of a new era

It just stands out to me because I was waiting to get that first win!

1978 matchup with Theismann taunting the Cowboys while taking a safety on the last play. It's never too late for some additional payback!

True, but the games that stick out the most tend to be the ones we lose...

Sean Taylor blocking the FG

Alex Barron holding...

RG3 destroying us on Turkey Day

Skins beating us in the season finale to clinch a playoff spot...
