1993-10-31 Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles(Emmitt Smith 237 yards rushing)

Great performance on a rainy Halloween evening in Philly.

[@wiitmann205]

That 62 yard touchdown was a thing of beauty! Poetry in motion. Oh yea...F the Eagles!

[@stardaddyo9]

It drove the eagles crazy that the Cowboys came from 1-15 to kicking their asses so quickly.

[@williamtaylor5193]

Emmitt had a great body for the position. He was strong from head to toe, durable, elusive, finished runs, took care of the ball, and was above all, a winner.

[@abdulmuhammad8900]

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH GO COWBOYS 2020

[@davidarmstrong173]

He had the perfect attitude too! A true competitor, with passion and a will to win! Just look at the "shoulder" game :)

[@robertryan627]

Don’t forget blocking and blitz pickup.

[@gregoryingram7561]

Ezekiel Elliott needs to watch the video's of Emmett Smith and be inspired to be better, commit to being better, Emmett Smith kept his mind, body and spirit in football year-round, rather Zeke getting in trouble fighting in night clubs, smoking marijuana on social media and all that other negative bullshit he does, and just be inspired by Emmett, although it may be to late because he's been on the hot seat in Dallas for the last 3years.

Ah, the days when Dallas had a defense and players that actually cared about championships.

[@w.allencaddell6421]

As a life long fan of the Dallas Cowboys since 1970, the Philadelphia Eagles defense has always been tough. Even through the 70s, Dallas may have won most of the games, but even here, Philadelphia has always been a tough team. They finally joined the ranks of Champs by beating Tom Brady's Patriots. It's about damn time. All of the NFC East teams have Super Bowl wins.

[@evanhullinger2900]

Thanks man for the respect. Class guy you are.

[@justinturley7071]

I loved those Away uniforms for Dallas during that time. Navy Blue Jersey, Silver Numbers with a White Outline, and two Silver Stripes with a White Outline, and White letters on the nameplate with the Silver pants.

Erik Williams one of my fav players.. Played hard every snap..

Thank you for the postings!! I still have all my 93 season new papers of every Cowboys win. The videos are better though!!

[@jcdova29]

Those early 90’s Eagles had one of the best defenses in the league but Emmitt always took his game to another level. Those were fun games to watch. RIP Jerome! Another great UM defense of tackle. His place in the hall of fame was already secured unfortunately he was taken way too early.

[@zacdorsey1906]

Agreed

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

OMG it rained sooomuch this day. However I lucked out. I was literally in the LAST ROW in the stadium LOL. Other than taking photos during pregame I did not get wet at all since the little white roof of the Vet kept me dry all game long. . I was in the left corner of the end zone where Emmitt finished his long run. It was a GREAT weekend. The night before I was at the Cowboys team hotel in Cherry Hill, NJ I met 7 players (too long to list) and got my photo taken with Jerry. After the game I met Derrick Lassic, Harper, Norton, Gogan, Kevin Williams, Darrin Smith...it was a GREAT Cowboys weekend all around.

[@miketike3246]

If you're talking just pure rushing yards maybe...but he had other 200+ total yard games rushing and receiving. Plus, he had MANY games that were 150+ rushing yards.

[@tomservo5674]

My God. What awful playing surfaces these artificial turf fields were. Simply destroys a player's body.

[@mattarrington4746]

I wish pro football would go back to this style of football. Hard, fast, aggressive, hard hitting and physical each play. U just dont see as much intensity on the field like u use to back in the early 2000s, 90s, 80s and 70s. I always like watching the nfc east rivalry games,these were the good ole days.

Not in this millennium...

[@RealAmericanHero420]

The Cowboys have lost 13 games by 27 or more points since 2000, and more than half of them - seven of the 13 - have been against the Eagles. The Eagles have beaten the Cowboys by 27, 27, 28, 28, 31, 33 and 38 points since 2000. No other team has more than one win by 27 or more points against the Cowboys during the same period.

[@0oBlitzoo]

Beating the Eagles everytime. The way it should be

[@wesleyantrim6648]

I don’t care how great Dallas was: going into the vet and beating those early 90’s Eagle’s teams was no small feat. I was about 15 at the time, living in Dallas, and I thought they couldn’t possibly be beat pretty much every single week. Now as a man in my 40’s, I can appreciate how impressive a road win like this was. Those eagles were no joke.

[@tb9489]

A tribute to Jimmy Johnson and his staff too, coach Joe on special teams was the best

[@bigpapasmurfz6252]

One play, the lead draw, buried the Eagles. They ran about 10 of em for roughly 160 yards. Absurd.

[@abdulmuhammad8900]

EXACTLY

[@garymayfield5995]

Knowing what somebody is going to do and stopping it is two different things

[@57clc]

Just stop and think about it. Emmitt Smith averaged 1,000 yards a year, FOR 18 YEARS. Wow! Oh and he was a great pass catcher out of the backfield. He would stop a blitzing linebacker stone cold. Greatest back ever.

[@garymayfield5995]

Hands down!the best

[@tommyparkerparker]

Jim Nantz and Randy Cross CBS’ #2 NFL announcing team at the time called this one. Pat Summerall and John Madden called LA Rams at SF. 4pm EST double header both games.

[@greganderson1445]

The days when they allowed the defense to hit the quarterback, which is why I have Montana over Brady.

[@LawrenceW78]

Troy Aikman is on record saying that he hated throwing wet balls because of how he gripped the it, fingers were never on the laces. Combine that with the wet and rainy conditions and he had a poor game going 9-19 for only 96 yards. Hence why Emmitt had so many carries and yards on this day

[@w.allencaddell6421]

Best Offensive Line EVER! And the best wasn't even on the team yet. His name is LARRY ALLEN!

[@andymartinez5686]

I remember watching this game in Hanford Community Medical Center as a young 13-year-old. I was in my medical bed watching this game when my buddies were having fun trick or treating, that sucked it was nice to see the Cowboys do good

[@w.allencaddell6421]

They used say that Dallas would lose wearing the blue jerseys. I wonder what the stats are for the two colored jerseys? I loved the pants with the numbers.

[@babyface76]

People complain about the turf at the Vet, but back then the players were heavily padded. Knee pads, thigh pads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, etc. They wore high top cleats that offered ankle support. Being named to the All Madden team was a bigger honor than the Pro Bowl.

[@jcdova29]

The Vet had the worst playing field of all time.

[@evanhullinger2900]

I'm an Eagles fan myself. And even I hated the Vet turf. It was the worst field in all of the world. Too many seams and cutouts from the baseball bases that you can get your toes stuck in that can cause a major injury. God that turf was awful. Thankfully we have all natural grass they can play on at the Linc.

I too, like many on here, was at this game......a friend of mine was a cameraman for NJN (New Jersey Network), I got to be on the field, in the locker rooms, and interview (with all the pool reporters) Aikman.....being a life long fan (think Meredith, Perkins, Hayes, Lily, et.al.) of the Pokes, and living in Philly was a dangerous profession...I took more shit than an interstate rest stop (from H.S., then college Egggles fans)......I generally got the last laugh, just by watching the games, not making a fuss about the outcome, etc.....but this game was incredible, as all Cowboy fans know......still have a great shot of me Aikman, and other "reporters" hanging in my den.....great stuff. Unfortunately, nowadays, I can no longer watch professional sports, especially baseball, and football. When they went woke, I just went.....haven't seen a game since St. George Floyd, the martyr killed himself.....remember, if you don't stand for something, you fall for everything.....cheers!!

A trick and a treat! :) 5:16

[@soylentteal]

Team rushing record that lasted 18 years until rookie DeMarco Murray broke it in 2011 with 253 yards. I expect Zeke Elliott will erase that one before long.

[@Clarence2Worley]

I don't. Elliot is good but he doesnt break many long runs and that's what it takes to get 250+. He'll be a solid back for us and pick up hard yards but I'd be shocked if he ever runs for 180 unless he slims down and experiences a renaissance.

[@soylentteal]

@@Clarence2Worley After his performance last year and the clear trend toward a pass-first offense, my opinion has changed.

[@thegorn68]

@Roger Edgerton "...Prescott still hasn't shown he's got enough in him to cause defenses to worry so much about the passing game..." LMAO! Yeah, with the exception that he threw for almost five thousand fucking yards and he's a legitimate threat with his legs. I swear, some people shouldn't even comment on the game unless you actually UNDERSTAND it. What a concept.

This looked like it was going to be one of the biggest games of the season when Philadelphia got off to a 4-0 start but by the time the day arrived the Eagles were being held together by duct tape and playing a QB that they signed off the street, and it was really no contest.

[@denniseverett1904]

What's silly is they were the number 4 team most of the 1993 season. Nantz had other duties for CBS like golf and other sports. But they called the Dallas Green Bay game in the playoffs instead of the 2nd or 3rd CBS team that year.

[@mikefriedrichmedia7183]

@@classicsports5057 no offense to Nantz and Cross, but Verne and Fouts got screwed that year. They were the number 2 team most of the year.

[@tommyparkerparker]

Probably knowing that CBS was going to lose the NFL, my guess they decided to elevate Jim Nantz to # 2 to keep his post for NCAA basketball and golf.

[@mgb4692]

Exactly, Nantz and Cross did the Stanford/Penn State Blockbuster Bowl the previous year but this year Lundquist was switched with them doing the Vikings/Redskins game on New Years Eve. The next year, CBS, without the NFL, had a pretty tasty Sun afternoon NCAAB matchup (they had a few NBA telecasts during the '82 strike) with Georgetown (freshman Iverson) vs defending champ Arkansas in Memphis. Perhaps the end-of-season promotion of Nantz was a test run

[@andrewyoung3009]

It’s funny because people say Barry Sanders is better than Emmitt Smith not only did Emmitt miss the first two games but Barry Sanders had a two game start ahead of Emmitt and Emmit by the end of the season won the rushing title and you all can say well it was because of the offensive line but remember Barry Sanders you all said is suppose too be more talented than Smith so don’t make the excuse that he had a better offensive line smith had because smith made the line better and when he didn’t have holes he would still make nothing out of something and get 8 or sometimes 15 or more alone so it was that he had better vision and was more powerful it was very hard too bring down Smith

[@Mark-xl1ze]

This 110%.

[@nocategories3398]

Dallas fan from that era. Smith was really good, but Sanders was better. Look at avg yards per carry. Almost a full yard.. Statisically significant amount.. Consider that Dallas didn't simply have a better line. They had the best line I've ever seen (not best scheme, but still). Watch 95 nfc vs GB championship game. I had to watch it again when I got older. You won't be able to say Smith is better. He's untouched by a wide margin several runs for the 1st 5 yards up the middle. This enabled him to play longer, as he was tackled mostly by guys in secondary.

I wouldn't take anything away from emmit, he was great. If you put sanders behind that line, look out...
