1:59:04 Panthers Celebration
If there is one thing expansion teams are not known for, it's knocking off perennial contenders, but in only their second season the Carolina Panthers did just that, conquering the Dallas Cowboys in the 1996 Divisional playoffs. It was a competitive game throughout, but the Panthers defense was able to frustrate Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman enough to slow the Cowboys offense while the Panthers offense pounded their way to 26 points on the other end.

Reason for the Jags and Panthers early success... take a look at their rosters. They were stacked with freaking athletes collected from each team in the NFL. I think each team allotted two players and both expansion franchises were able to sort out the best of all those and ended up with some serious talent to go along with some high draft choices. Carolina defense really benefited from this with what looks like an all star pro bowl roster of sorts. No wonder they were both so fast to the Championship game

No Charles Haley, no Leon Lett, Irvin probably would not have played, no Ray Donaldson, no Deion Sanders. Also, that game would have been at Lambeau Field, and I think it would have just been asking too much to be able to win that game. I mean, sure, Dallas still had Aikman, Smith, Johnston, Newton, Williams, Tuinei...those guys, but the problem is that when Irvin was knocked out of the game, Williams had to become a number one receiver, which is just something that he wasn't. If Dallas HAD won this game, it would have almost been like...asking a....how to word it.....number two team...playing against a team that was pretty much loaded offensively and defensively, and expecting the number two team to win. The mountain would have been too big to climb, I think. Does that make sense? Believe me, I am not trying to bash the Cowboys, I am just saying that going to Lambeau Field had they won this game and being expected to be able to do it again would be too much in my opinion to ask.

of all teams the panthers to end the cowboy's dynasty haha just like the diamondbacks did to the yankees in 2001.

[@dougsmith6347]

MOSLEYTV The salary cap ended the Cowboys dynasty. Everyone wanted their players. No depth left at all.

[@SinaSoh]

1990Thunderbolt and the Mavericks did to the Lakers in 2011!!!

[@Jefe6622]

The cowboys have been curse ever since this game

[@packersauburneric3625]

[@Briggie]

Wasn’t this the game that started “Keep pounding!”?

[@chris-samuel-cesar]

Has anyone notice the players look more big in the 90s

[@MrEOM41]

Yeah it’s the shoulder pads

[@mspionage1743]

Collins had such a unique throwing motion.

[@packersauburneric3625]

Penn st former top pick

[@shadowswordgaming8636]

Love both teams

[@calvinnay814]

official demise of the Dallas Dynasty....

[@ericsigersmith2831]

Ehh maybe 98 when the cardinals beat them back when they were in the same division

[@escdelesp]

I remember Irvin going down early but on the 1st offensive play of the game??? Geeez... On another note, Greg Kragen was STILL playing??? WOW!

[@zachrizzo6525]

When we knew the Cowboys dynasty was over

[@sheldonpegram8421]

U knew cause its the day it died.

[@MrYankeeSteel]

This was the collapse of the seemingly indestructible Cowboys! They never fully recovered..The next year they finished 6-10, and Barry Switzer was fired..The following year they made the playoffs but were quickly dispatched in the first round, and then team imploded until 2003..but by then the fearsome three were long gone!!

[@zosteezy7863]

Panthers kit NEVER changes

[@bigpantherman704]

This was the beginning of the end of Dallas playoff hopes

[@kyledamron]

I'm a raiders fan but as a kid I was pulling for the Panthers since the raiders weren't an option and I loved that they were brand new yet upset the defending champions. Made me a Kerry Collins and then he came to Oakland and he killed my hopes of having a great qb lol

[@STANGm06deGT]

He became a drunk 🤣

[@ninjadude17]

Man growing up in NC I always watched Panthers games since Raiders games were rare. Carolina always being really good or really horrible. Their first Super Bowl game would have converted me from the Raiders to the Panthers, but old Tom Brady did his crap.

[@StFidjnr]

1:54:08 the panthers enticed former Dallas Cowboy QB Roger staubach not only a College football HOFer but his bronzed bust is in canton, OH the home for the Pro football HOF

[@ericsigersmith2831]

That tailgate footage was hilarious

[@waylenwaddlefinsup9876]

Lamar Lathon and Kevin Greene was one deadly combination back then, kinda like how Ware and Miller is today or Hali and Houston

[@Useyno]

You should add the Saints vs Rams widcard game from 2000 that would be nice too see.

[@Jerseys4Hope]

Please add all the games dating back through the Super Bowl era onto GamePass, NFL.

[@C_and_C...]

Would have been more fitting for the Cowboys to face the Packers in that years NFC championship game. Well done to the Panthers though in only their 2nd season.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

Green Bay, the fans at least, wanted Dallas that season. It was a revenge and Dallas would have to play at Lambeau Field (in 95 the NFC Championship was at Texas Stadium), in a day that was so cold that they had to move the game to the earlier timeslot, because at the late slot it would be impossible to play

[@ericpackers1700]

@@otaviofrn_adv your right they did

[@MrAce-lm8es]

The beginning of Dallas's long fall from grace. Haven't won a Super Bowl since January 28, 1996, Super Bowl 30.

[@ericpackers1700]

And have won 2 playoff games ....

[@toddbonner7445]

I was in Jerry's box for this game!
