Of all of these, my favorite had to be the 1990 game. This game showed the world that the Cowboys were on their way to dominance. Dallas scored 17 unanswered points against a team that had Super Bowl aspirations. To listen to that crowd roar, after years of being in the doldrums, chilled my spine. Emmitt Smith’s 47-yard run was a thing of beauty.
