What is up with us and Monday Night Football??

[sacowboysfan513]

This is the 4th time in recent memory that the Cowboys have pulled off a miracle finish on Monday Night.

The other three that I can remember:

2003 @ Giants - We were down 3 with 11 seconds to go with no TO's and the Giants were kicking off. It went out of bounds. We got the ball at the 40 and Carter made a nice pass near the sideline to get in FG range. And was it Cundiff who made the kick? It was 52 yards I believe. We went to overtime and won that game. That was Parcells first win as a Cowboy coach.

2004 @ Seattle - I can't remember the details on this game. But I do remember it took a nice pass and catch between Keyshawn and Vinny for TD. An onside kick recovered by Witten (I think) and a nice run by Jones for a comeback win. I think that's what happened.

2005 @ Eagles - Down 20-7 with about 2 or 3 minutes to go. Glenn gets a touchdown and we kick it off normal. I believe we had all our TO's left or something. Then I believe Roy Williams picks off a pass and takes it for a TD. Cowboys are up 21-20 at this point and win the game.

And now yesterdays game against the Bills.

Does anyone else remember of any other miracle Monday Night finishes?

After that Giants game I thought QC and Cundiff were going to be playing their respective positions here for a long time. I really thought QC was gonna turn it around after that game. He made some really nice throws including that perfect strike to Bryant.

Cundiff tied an NFL record for FG's in a game IIRC. I believe both the FG to tie the game and the winner in OT were around 50 yard tries. I'm too lazy to look it up to make sure of the facts.

Sept. 5, 1983 -- Dallas at Washington
Cowboys 31, Commanders 30

Danny White passed for three second-half touchdowns and ran for another to rally Dallas from a 23-3 halftime deficit to beat the defending Super Bowl champions. The Cowboys compiled only 85 first-half yards, but exploded for 271 in the final two quarters. White completed bombs of 75 and 51 yards to Tony Hill to put the Cowboys within striking distance. His 1-yard TD run 2:35 into the final quarter put Dallas up 24-23. Joe Theismann tried to rally Washington, but Ron Fellows' 33-yard interception return set up Doug Cosbie's 1-yard scoring catch two plays later to clinch the game.

My memory is really fuzzy on this one. Not sure if it was a Monday Night game.

Wasn't there an Eagles game where the Eagles were about to kick a game winning field goal, but the holder bobbled the snap, and we won?

You are correct that was a MNF game

For all intents and purposes, Sunday Night Football has surpassed Monday Night Football for intrigue, ever since ESPN took over the show and installed their ******** excuse for analysts.

But last night was that old magical feeling again. I didn't ever feel good about the game right before hand because of the crowd, and felt down during the first half. But I kep watching just because I still had that tingly feeling that something legendary might happen.

And our only Monday night game (not counting the Christmas game) last year was Romo's first real action. I'd say that was another good thing that happened on Monday.

Week 2, 2003
We led 29-14 after a field goal with 12:56 left. But the Giants scored two straight touchdowns to tie the score 29-29 with 6:20 remaining (they got three tries at the two-point conversion because of back-to-back pass interference calls), then they kicked a field goal with 11 seconds left to go up 32-29. On the ensuing kickoff, Zuriel Smith (in his first NFL game) wisely let a bouncing squib kick go out of of bounds at the 2, giving us the ball at our 40 with 11 seconds left. Quincy Carter then threw a 26-yard pass down the left sideline to Antonio Bryant, putting us at the Giants' 34, and Billy Cundiff kicked a 52-yard field goal to tie it as time expired. We won the game on our second overtime possession, as a 23-yard pass to Dan Campbell set up a 25-yard field goal by Cundiff that won it. COWBOYS 35, GIANTS 32 (OVERTIME)

Week 13, 2004
We led 29-14 after a field goal with 10:10 left in the third quarter. But the Seahawks scored 25 straight points, taking a 39-29 lead on a touchdown with 2:46 remaining. But Vinny Testaverde hit Keyshawn Johnson for a 34-yard TD pass with 1:45 remaining to pull us within 39-36, Jason Witten recovered the onside kick, and Julius Jones ran for a 17-yard TD with 32 seconds left, capping a 198-yard, three-TD night. COWBOYS 43, SEAHAWKS 39

Week 10, 2005
We trailed 20-7 when we got the ball at our own 28 with 3:44 left in the game. On our previous eight possessions, we had gained a total of 86 yards, with seven punts and an interception. But Drew Bledsoe hit Keyshawn Johnson for 15 yards and Terry Glenn for 11, Marion Barber ran for 26 yards, then Bledsoe found Glenn for a 20-yard touchdown, cutting it to 20-14 with 2:43 to play. On the Eagles' second play, Roy Williams stepped in front of Donovan McNabb's pass to Reggie Brown, returning it 46 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. The Eagles got two more possessions, the second of which ended with David Akers coming up short on a 60-yard field goal as time expired (at the time, our opponents had hit 66 of their previous 70 field goals, without a single miss inside 48 yards). COWBOYS 21, EAGLES 20

Week 5, 2007
Tony Romo threw five interceptions, with two of them being returned for touchdowns. He also lost a fumble, and Buffalo had a kickoff return for a touchdown. We trailed 24-13 starting the fourth quarter and 24-16 when we got the ball at our own 20 with 3:45 left in the game. Romo went 9-for-11 on the drive, which ended with a 4-yard TD pass to Patrick Crayton with 20 seconds to play to make it 24-22. A two-point conversion pass to Terrell Owens was incomplete, but Sam Hurd knocked the ensuing onside kick forward and Tony Curtis recovered it at the Buffalo 47. After a 22-yard catch by Owens was reversed by instant replay, Romo hit Barber for 4 yards and Crayton for 8, giving us a first down at Buffalo's 35 with 2 seconds to play. Buffalo coach Dick Jauron called timeout just before Nick Folk made a 53-yard field goal. On the second attempt, Folk nailed it again to win the game. COWBOYS 25, BILLS 24
