2005: Washington Redskins vs Dallas Cowboys Remastered NFL Highlights

Several requests received from the RetroSkins Community for this 2005 Monday Night gem - so let’s do it!
The ’05 Redskins started off looking like the ’04 Redskins - a sky-high defense shackled to a rock-bottom offense. Following an anemic opening day effort (though still a win for Washington), the Skins offense struggled onwards and downwards, setback by turnovers and untimely penalties as the Cowboys pitched 54 minutes of smothering shutout football. But that Redskins defense was tough as ever, allowing only 13 points to keep the game within reach, setting the stage for an unforgettable lightning-strikes-twice Redskins rally that left Al Michaels, John Madden and the capacity crowd at Texas Stadium flabbergasted. These images of Joe Gibbs jumping for joy after a much-deserved post-game Gatorade soaking should bring a tear to the eye of even the most jaded DC football fan.
Remastered from DVD to digital while getting a more than little bit veklempt (talk amongst yourselves…)

This is the game that made Santana a redskin legend for life. I'm so glad we got to watch him all those years.

The Cowboy Killa

[@robertharris1831]

Santana had great hands to match that blazing speed that's why he's the cowgirl killer

[@facts187-tb7ms]

My favorite wide receive even when he played for the jets ​@@robertharris1831

[@mloftus8618]

18:48 - DESTROYED! Man, I miss Sean Taylor.

[@GoBlue_yanks42]

Was a fumble too

[@jajabinks4733]

Play of the game

[@MrPayne134]

For us OG’s. It was special beating the cowgirls in Dallas with the midgets old coach(parcells), and Joe Gibbs coaching HTTR. R.I.P. ST21

[@ItsOVAnoW]

Man what a time...Sean moss portis...US OGS was so happy watching redskins... Rip TAYLOR... THEY BETTER PUT OUR GUY IN THE HOF.... NFL WOULD HAVE TO HOST THAT SHIT LIKE OUTSIDE KUZ..... THE WHOLE WORLD GONNA BE THERE 1LOVE REAL FOOTBALL LOVERS

[@jer0051]

A masterpiece of a game by Gibbs

[@dcbandnerd]

I've said many times that while his first stint was more successful, Gibbs' second stint featured some of his best coaching.

[@jer0051]

@@dcbandnerd especially with what he had to work with..

[@femgoo]

That's all Joe Gibbs!! You better believe it! He saw something in the Dallas defense and he took advantage of it!! If Gibbs had better personal (GM) then Gibbs would have won more games in his 2nd stint!!

[@mloftus8618]

YES! I remember watching this game at the local dive bar with my best friends who were in town to visit. the place was packed with skins/boys fans. We were getting ragged the whole game….until minutes to go! Then, the place ERUPTED when Moss hit that first one, then the second one, the floor almost gave out from so many people jumping around screaming! And THEN…there was the hit by Sean TAYLOR on Crayton…he absolutely murdered him! It was AWESOME. I’ll never forget this game.

[@redskins3656]

Man oh man I miss the Redskins

[@derrickbrown7955]

Watching this puts a smile on my face

[@stevemoody13]

So much fun watching the cowboys get Mossed! I'll watch this one over and over. If you ever edit this, I'm sure no one would mind if you cut out the snyder shots.

[@supertaints1710]

15:22 lol

[@gmaxim]

One of the best birthdays I’ve ever had

[@seanwilson8168]

What a blessing for you. HTTR

[@stewartrussell1951]

Oh man it was good to see this again. I watched the game and when they pulled it out, that was one of the happiest moments of my young life! I had a few Cowboy fans at my office...they where nowhere to be found! Hail to Coach Gibbs, Santana, Mark, and the Burgundy and gold!

[@glenmcclure9883]

This never gets old! Thanks for posting!

[@RetroSkins]

😁

[@alaroche]

ST21 sent that man to the afterlife

[@Dirgnimai7]

I can't thank you enough for these. It's my nightly routine to watch one of these, and I'm loving every minute of it. I've been waiting for this one. I'll never forget it. I was home, and my Cowboys fan friend called and we talked on the phone through most of the game, while each of us watched from our respective homes. He wasn't obnoxious, but he knew his "Boys" were playing a great game. And then... Well, let's just say things changed considerably in the mood of the conversation in those last few moments. I, too, refrained from being obnoxious.

[@Niquesr]

Someone needs to remasterd the home game against the Boys that same year. We beat the brakes off that ass & know one has footage of that. Football Gods bring that out of the archives & freak that footage? PLEASE?????

[@heelzfan12]

YES! Been looking for that game for years!

[@charlesdunn442]

Yeah upload this game you can’t find the 2005 home game anywhere on KZbin.

[@Niquesr]

Jerry Jones had that footage destroyed! He doesn’t want to relive that smack down.

[@PsychoholicSlag]

I think Cooley had 3 touchdowns in that game. 35-7 and Washington basically ran the clock out in the second half.

[@Niquesr]

@@PsychoholicSlag yes he did….that game was over by halftime

[@bennygarcia7786]

Lol, I loved it, I get so much pleasure watching the look on his face when his team chokes

[@Will008]

MONDAY NIGHT MIRACLE!

[@thedcwolfpack]

Thank you for posting these!! So many great memories

[@gregorythomassr5485]

84 got crushed twice in this game. he didn't like that work!!

[@marvinshenk]

I remember watching this game at a sports bar with my friends. One of the most satisfying wins over Dallas ever.

[@allanteetheridge4689]

I was in jr high when this happened

[@mccabray]

Young guns, Moss and Taylor, win one for the great Joe Gibbs😊

[@veegun917]

Possibly the best Redskins game, ever. I was in a bar full of Cowboys fans in Thousand Oaks, CA.

[@brianjungen4059]

This game was so fun. My boss was an obnoxious Cowboy fan and went to bed early and didn’t believe me when I showed up in a Redskins shirt the next day. Spent an hour cussing up a storm when he looked it up online.

[@mellotainment]

We got em

[@supertaints1710]

One of my favorite Cowboy meltdowns... very Kyle Shanahan-esque

[@leftyshredder9289]

God i love this W me and my dad were playing cards the whole night just hoping they could score any points so it wouldn't be a shutout. Then mr moss aka cowboy killer went off and they pulled off a improbable comeback. I miss these uniforms and i miss the name, logo, fight song, etc. always and forever HTTR!

[@chrismadison80]

I know we went to the playoffs twice under gibbs was this team a playoff team??

[@RetroSkins]

Yes. 10-6, wild card team (but 5-1 in the division).

[@Dinger-it8hy]

Love it!!

[@BarryObaminable]

19:00 that is SUCH a fumble. what a drilling

[@ricardoacosta5938]

I remember this gm.&how Dallas lost it by almost similar same play &throw& I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan . I was upset &I give them credit & Roy Williams was burned twice by Moss&I actually had his jersey (#31) back then but hewas ro me a underrated player almost like Terrence Newman (#41) but both were good solid players🤨🏟️🏈💪🤜🤛🧢🙏

[@chrislogan4280]

AWESOME GAME BEST TIMES TO BE A REDSKIN

[@DrummerDanny76]

Santana Moss and Sean Taylor, both Miami Hurricanes, helping to win this game

[@aircablenetwork8581]

RIP Terry Glenn.

[@Mrwiseguy99]

Do you have the other game from this season when Chris Cooley cooked these guys?

[@BarryObaminable]

damn i remember this game. I felt sorry for all the people who went to bed early after halfway though the 4th

[@buckhillcampground5056]

I will never forget this game but for painful reasons. I turned the TV off after Dallas went up 13-0. I was so mad. Then the next morning I was eating breakfast turned on the TV and could NOT believe what I missed!!

[@averyj8331]

Where's the 35-7 beatdown we handed 'em at FedEx?📽

[@RetroSkins]

Coming some day soon.

[@clemondbrown]

Cowboy killer

[@stevenallen6245]

Paybacks a bitch😅 and redskins fans kno what im talking about the 99 season first game when dallas won in overtime 😢that still hurts me.
