A WILD Desert Comeback! (Cowboys vs. Cardinals 1998, Week 11)

Only games they won outside the division: home games against CAR & SEA (I was at that game, fun times) Next time these two teams would meet: Wild Card Round, AZ would win 20-7. Their first postseason win since *1947* when they beat the Eagles for the NFL Title 28-21 as the Chicago Cardinals

[@LucasEatWorld]

Fun game. This play at 2:01 is so underrated too. Not much different from a normal option, but different enough that I'm surprised more teams don't try something like this today. It's probably because there's not many QBs who line up under center anymore, but I feel like it would work well.

Vince tobin the coach of these Arizona cardinals was the dc of the 86 bears defense the year after buddy Ryan left and that defense set the record that the 2000 ravens broke on defense

[@brandonsmith7787]

Vince Tobin was also the defensive coordinator for the 1995 Cinderella Indianapolis Colts that ended up upsetting Chargers and Chiefs in the playoffs then lost to the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game on the famous Jim Harbaugh/ Aaron Bailey Hail Mary incomplete pass.

[@astrostar49]

I liked Jake Plummer as a QB, even though he would have some boneheaded games. Apparently, Bill Walsh liked him coming out of college, and recommended the 49ers draft him (to be understudy of Steve Young), but the top brass went with Jim Druckenmiller instead. I know the 49ers eventually got Garcia in 1999, but it would have been interesting if Jake was taken instead.

[@JH-ji6cj]

One of my more fond QB memories for Denver as lower tier.

[@rodneyking8896]

Wrong. Walsh preferred Drukenmiller due his size. He liked Plummer but after Montana and Young, he was wary of QBs with smaller builds.

[@astrostar49]

@@rodneyking8896 You have an article that cites such? I'd love to see that information from sources at the time. Meanwhile there's actual evidence available that Walsh wanted Jake. a.espncdn.com/nfl/s/walsh.html

[@dirtyface-capone7622]

@@rodneyking8896 i remember seeing an interview where Walsh stated he preferred Plummer over Druckenmiller.In many ways, Jake was like a bone head version of Joe Montana.Same wiry frame.Jake was just more of a risk taker.His best attribute was his clutchness.He was pretty good at the end of games.But of course, his team would be down thanks to his bonehead plays earlier in the game.Despite his lack of discipline at times, some people actually thought he was the best young QB in the league around '97-'99.The Cardinals had been a doormat for nearly 50 yrs, but they started winning, and even won a playoff game when Jake got there.It's hard to put into word.Jake could be a jack azz & magical at the same time.Loved him whe he was at ASU.One of my favorite college QB's of all time.

[@timburr4453]

What was the penalty at 10:16...all I see is a Cards receiver with his arm outstretched grabbing the Cowboy receiver Cards had such a nice classic uniform. Not sure why they clowned it up in the 2000s. Glad they have a new look now but they should really go back to this That stadium must've been 50/50 Cowboy fans if not more. Couple of nice plays at 17:37. The block by Eric Metcalf to free up Moore a bit to make a dash to the pylon...and the tackle by Kenny Wheaton that kept Moore in bounds and prevented a TD. The last play to Moore was likely PI, but the Cards did get that gift penalty on a 4th down earlier which led to a TD...so can't make a stink about it
