What is your favorite play from a Cowboys player?

[TasteMyScythe]

Most of us have a favorite play that we like to go back and think about from time to time. Of course, there are some play's that we hate to be reminded of and mine is The Catch...I still feel the heart break from that.
But I'm wanting to know what play still gives you goose bumps when you see it or think about it? What play still wants to make you talk about it?

This is my favorite Dallas Cowboy play of all time...He was a true warrior and was the heartbeat of Cowboys defenses for many years. You'll never see a DL do this again.

I tried posting Randy White running down Eagles WR from behind...chasing him down 50 yards downfield (1980). I still remember that play like it happened yesterday... Actually I guess you can still watch the video once you click on watch on youtube. I just learned something new

Staubach's "Hail Mary" in 1975.

It was a combination of the play itself, the implications, and where I was at the time.

Every Cowboys fan know about the play. the implications are that it sent the Cowboys to the NFC championship game and then the Super Bowl. Not only that, it foreshadowed the successful rebuild that later sent the team to two more Super bowls including a Super Bowl 12 victory.

What made it even more special was where I happened to be at the time.

I was in Air Force basic training in the dayroom with about 30 other guys, all from different parts of the country.

However, there was one thing they all had in common. They all hated the Cowboys. The only fans were me and one other guy from Texas.

It looked like the Cowboys were going to lose and these guys were relentless in their insults and jeering.,.....until Staubach threw that pass and Pearson caught it.

For three long seconds you could have heard a pin drop.

Then my one fellow Cowboys fan let out a "YEAH!!!!"

It was just priceless telling everyone to have a goodnight as they slowly slunk out of the room. I will never forget it.

The hit Roy Williams put on Emmitt Smiff that made Emmitt cry.

That was the squarest hit Emmitt ever took. I don't ever recall Emmitt ever missing games due to injury before that hit. Except for his holdout.

That hit prolly broke something.

That hit prolly broke something.

I think Emmitt did break his collar bone...I know he missed some games.

Start at 4:25. And watch for a minute. If you like big hits, Roy Williams was a beast at the art of big hits.

my mom let me out of bed just to watch the end of the Cowboys game when Dorsett broke for the 99 yard run. That will always be my favorite .

End of Pittsburgh game in 2016....after the amazing game and the crazy play that put Pittsburgh ahead, this was one of the most exciting runs to win it

Won't say it's my favorite, but one that really stuck with me was rookie Larry Allen chasing down Darion Connor after an interception. I had never seen a dude that big run that fast.

Hard to say just one.

Witten in Philly with YAC and no helmet


Murray trucking the Philly DL


Romo escaping Watt and throwing a dime to Williams




Ware with the INT for a TD vs Vick




Prescott to Lamb for 92 yards
