I was wondering this as soon as Lee returned the 2nd one. It has had to been at least 7 years. Anyone know?

By my recollection, prior to today, the Cowboys last returned two interceptions for TDs against the Giants in 2003.

I thought it was 2001 but you may be right

It's been too long... Great plays by the defense.

When was the last time we had four interceptions?

I remember Al Singleton but who was the other one?

EDIT: Think I found it guys: 2001 @ the Giants

Coakley had a 29 yard TD return and Mario Edwards had a 71 yard TD return. 9 years...wow

I meant to write 2001. Promise.;)

It was the game in which Ryan Leaf replaced Clint Stoener. I remembered that much.

During the 2001 game against New York, after watching the Cowboys dominate the first half, I remember thinking, "What a rebound! The Cowboys are back after only one bad season." But, alas, it was a momentary aberration in an otherwise abysmal season and decade.

Too many times over the past ten years have I watched the Cowboys race to a big, first half lead only to lose control over the game, never regain it, and lose.

That was the most notable accomplishment of the Colts game, in my opinion -- the Cowboys totally lost control of a game they were dominating, fell behind, but managed to recapture the momentum and win.
 
This was the fourth time that we've had two interception returns for touchdown in the same game.

In 1985 against Washington, Victor Scott and Dennis Thurman did it.

In 1994 against New Orleans, Tony Tolbert and Darrin Smith did it.

In 2001 against the Giants, Dexter Coakley and Mario Edwards did it.

Wow, twenty five years for the first time???
 
Up until very recently, it's hard enough remembering games where the defense had two interceptions in a game let alone two pick 6's in a game.

I bet one was the great Coakley , lol
 
The 2001 game was the first Cowboys game I ever saw live. It was Stoerner's second start. I was praying for him to be the "Post-Aikman Answer." They had beaten the Cards the week before and Coakley has scored on an INT return also. Dominating first half. I swore they had figured it out. Terrible second half/OT. Ryan Leaf. And that was the end of Stoerner's time as the starting Dallas Cowboys QB.

At least you saw Stoerner...I had to see Leaf at QB when the Falcons destroyed us in the Georgia Dome...:(
