What is your favorite play in Cowboys history?

[Eskimo]

Here are just a few that come to mind:

1. Aikman's TD bomb to Harper right before halftime at RFK when we beat the previously undefeated Skins in 1991.

2.Irvin's one-handed TD grab beating Darrell Green in that same game.

3. Jason Garrett's "just throw it up to Harper" bomb in the 1994 Turkey Day game against Green Bay.

4. Aikman's overtime TD bomb to the Rocket to beat the Skins on opening day 1999.

5. Deion's reverse cut back TD run in the 1995 divisional playoff against the Eagles.

that is my favourite for some reason - it gave me hope for the season until Irvin went down with injury.

Jason Witten's helmetless romp down the Philly sideline.

- Emmitt on MNF after Payton had died- back to back TD runs against the Vikes (too bad he broke his hand, that game would have been something)
- Woody pick 6 against Randall Cunningham in the playoffs
- Aikman to Ismail of course
- Carter to Bryant with 6 seconds left to get Cundiff in position to beat the Giants
- Roy laying the wood against Toomer
- Nick Folk hitting back-to-back game winners against the Bills
- Emmitt running through Phil Hansen in SB28

Here are a few more:

1. Teague's pick six of Favre to close out the Pack in 1998 I think.

2. Moose's fierce block on some Bronco to spring Emmitt for a long TD run (1996, 97?) (a preseason game, but a great play nonetheless).

3. The Eagles holder bobbling the snap on a chip shot winning FG at Texas Stadium in 1997 (Not exactly that we did anything on that play but memorable nonetheless).

4. Ellis' long fumble recovery TD return against the defending NFC champion Falcons in 1999 to take us to 3-0 (all downhill from there that year).

5. Teague defending the star in 2000 (not exactly a play, but it should count).

6. Jason Garrett's turnaround play action TD bomb to Ernie Mills against the Skins in their house 1998.

7. Back to back safeties (or something like that) against the Cardinals in 2003.

8. Chris Boniol's 7th FG against GB in 1996, causing Reggie White to go after Switzer. (a year in which we beat both SB teams without scoring a TD).

TD all the way!

 

[BEASToftheEAST]

The playoff game where Big E made the philly pass rusher cry then come out of the game.

Troy to rocket in OT at JFK was fun too.

 

[EPL0c0]

Too many to name, but most recently:

The Bad snap over Romo's head and his scramble to pickup the first down. Left Rams players shaking their heads.

Also, MB3's endzone escape.

Poor Drew... I don't know care who you are, it must suck to have that be the last pass of your career.

Haleys' sack of Jim Kelly, forced fumble/touchdown.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Not a play, but my all-time favorite and proudest "moment" watching a Cowboy game was right before the start of the 2nd half of the first Bills SB when Tod Christenson asked Jimmy if he was concerned about the Bills coming back because of their recent historic playoff comeback against Houston. Tod looked into the camera and said to Bob Costas, "Jimmy told me...We aren't Houston!"

Chills ran up my spine. I knew we had it won at that point!

 

[Big Country]

who can name just one?

1) Hail Mary

2) Staubach TD to diving Butch Johnson in SB 12

3) Dorsett 99 1/2 yd run

4) Emmitt's 79 yd TD vs Washington on MNF

5) Emmitt's 1st carry of season to the house TD vs Giants on MNF

6) Haley sack on Kelly to force fumble and Jimmie Jones catching fumble, scoring TD to give us the lead in SB vs Buffalo

7) The "Play" to Harper to seal NFC Championship win vs Niners in SF

8) Aikman's long TD to Harper and then holding up the finger "1" vs Buffalo

9) Jim Jeffcoat int for TD vs Phil Simms & Giants in a game we clinched the NFC East, think that was 1985

10) Novecek "hurdles" for TD vs Chiefs Turkey Day 1995

#2, That's the one I was going to say... Great list David!!

I especially like #8 too... the whooping in SB27 was in full force then!!

I'll put one more out there...Larry Cole tackling John Riggins behind the LOS on 3rd down to give Roger one more chance in the comeback against the Commanders to clinch the NFC East. I believe it was the 79-80 season.

 

[dirtycallahan]

do you all remember this play by Larry Cole, in the funeral wreath game?
really one of the best games of all time

Now Washington had to get a first down. Danny Buggs dropped a screen pass and Riggins powered for eight. After the two-minute warning, Riggins tried the right side, where he had gone on that stunning 66-yard jaunt, but veteran Larry Cole sliced into the backfield and threw him for a two-yard loss, forcing a 44-yard Mike Bragg punt.
