BIG TIME NFC East Matchup! (Cowboys vs. Redskins 1991, Week 13)

[@vesubioromo9425]

Cowboys and Redskins, Summerall and Madden, I-formations and snaps under center, 2-tight end sets and jumbo packages. Man, I miss the golden age.

[@davidcovington1046]

Same here!

[@hennylo68]

And the use of the Fullback position, they're actually using them. That position has been all but eliminated from todays game.

[@hepfarms9101]

Me too. This was real football.

[@NYGForever]

Washington in 1991 quietly had one of the best teams ever. This was also a sign Dallas was on the come up.

[@robblack2741]

I have always said that Washington team was top 3 ever

​@packersauburneric3625 at about the 1:00 mark there is a shot from a DB on a defenseless receiver. That DB gets blown up, one of my favorite things i have ever seen.

Also have the '92 NFC Championship game against San Francisco that the Cowboys won to get to that '92 Super Bowl...whenever I feel depressed about the current Cowboys team I always have those tapes to put me in a better mood😊.

Passing of the torch. One team exiting, another arriving.

[@StylistecS]

And did not realize it despite the meteoric rise of the Cowboys. They were 1-15 two years prior.

[@sports3117]

This was the last time Washington had won a Super Bowl, back when Joe Gibbs was coaching

[@cbod14]

The beginning of the Dynasty for Dallas. This would kick off a 5 game winning streak including the clinching of a playoff berth in Philadelphia’s Veterans Stadium. Jimmy Johnson coached to win. “Whenever you go after a big gorilla, you don’t ever hit him lightly. You hit him with everything you got.”

[@mariosnum1fan]

As a cowboys fan, I’d argue the dynasty started a bit earlier.

[@cbod14]

@ The 90’s one? Do tell.

[@mariosnum1fan]

@ the team showed some promise before this game against nyg. They still lost a lot but the deficits weren’t as big. Steps in the right direction.

[@markrobertson2196]

The game that showed the cowboys were on their way back to the top.

[@rodrickohall1937]

The Glory day's! Boy I missed them triplets.This is where the Boys started to rise!! Played with so much heart and desire!!

[@blakebrown84]

This is a classic game between two teams. We are watching Hall of Famers like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin against Darrell Green and the Washington Redskins. I miss the days when the NFL wasn’t all about politics and people would sit down and watch two teams compete and play hard to the very end.

[@sludge8506]

I miss the days when geezers didn’t post infantile comments. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@1BrianSawyer]

In addition to Green, there was Gibbs, Grimm, Monk, & future HOF Jacoby, too

[@GregzVR]

I'm definitely biased, but I truly feel that the 1990s was PEAK football - all things considered.

[@supervilla06]

Agreed. When players played because they loved the game pre-salary cap era.

[@quirinogarza7381]

Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, and ALL the great players of the 90s...

[@astrostar49]

Agreed 100%. It was a hell of a decade.

[@jonathan4289]

Steve Beuerlein was such an underrated QB. Won a superbowl with Dallas and helped start both the Jags and Panthers as franchises. His years in Carolina with George Seifert after Kerry Collins abandoned the team were pretty impressive in hindsight

[@TheStrategos392]

The Cowboys were showing their championship form by beating the eventual Superbowl champs. Heck of a game.

[@ericw7519]

That probably was one of their best matchups in the past 3 decades.

[@redmustangredmustang]

Even as the Cowboys are terrible now, there was a time when they were actually good, but here is what began the dynasty that day. The Cowboys at 6-5 against the 11-0 Redskins at RFK. The Cowboys need to win out to guarantee a wildcard spot. The Cowboys had to throw everything and the kitchen sink to win. The onside kick, the hailmary that succeeded. The thing Ken Willis almost blew the game with his missed field goals. Still, what made the Cowboys different from the previous team is that Jimmy Johnson actually got a good backup QB. The year before the Cowboys were 7-7 and had to win one game to make the playoffs. Aikman got hurt against the Eagles which the team the lost. Then with a terrible back up in Babe Lauffenberg, the Cowboys got blown out by a bad Falcon team. Now Jimmy went out and got Steve Beuerlein as the back up. You saw how he performed here and after the win, the Cowboys would win Thanksgiving against the Steelers and go 11-5 after the regular season. The Redskins on the other hand bounced back the next week winning the division in Anaheim against the Rams. Then winning home field advantage against the Cardinals in Tempe. The Redskins would go 14-2 and cruise through the playoffs right into the Super Bowl. The Cowboys would win a wildcard game with Beuerlein at QB, but would lose against the Lions in the divisional round. The Redskins easily crushed the Bills 37-24 and it was 37 to 10 until the Bills had 2 garbage time touchdowns. The next year the Cowboys drafted well and got Thomas Everett the safety in free agency and the final piece in Charles Haley at defensive. The rest is history. THIS is where the Cowboys dynasty started that day.

[@zacharythomason7359]

Totally agree

[@scottross4374]

This was the game where you knew the Cowboys were back (2 years before 1-15)

[@Pensfan5919]

A lot of people will rightly talk about the all-22 talent in this game, but this is a game of wits with the headsets. Jimmy Johnson vs. Joe Gibbs. And considering where each franchise went in the 90s from here, this was almost a passing of the torch matchup every time they played.

[@rodrickohall1937]

The Boys didn't miss a beat even when Troy left the game. Steve Beurline kept everything together.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

*Fun fact:* 1991 was the last year Washington made it past the divisional round of the playoffs

[@fortynights1513]

Until last year Detroit too. As for Washington, Joe Gibbs is also responsible for the arguably the best of those divisional round teams over the next 30 years in 2005. The team they have this year could very easily top 05 though as the best since 91.

[@peanutjones6600]

Nothing fun about that 😂😂

[@astrostar49]

Until now :D

[@cbod14]

For the second year in a row all 6 division leaders lost on the same day. Buffalo, Houston, Denver, Washington, Chicago & New Orleans.

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

Any Given Sunday

[@johnwiesner9590]

Chicago was the only one who ended up not winning their division. In the end it was the Detroit Lions, who that year got their only playoff win in a 65 year span between 1958 and 2022.

[@martian78]

I don’t know why but every time I watch a Washington game on this channel, it’s a game that they lost. 😤

[@ShaunShaffer-i6w]

Quit crying,ya pussy.

[@hennylo68]

What a game. This is when I actually liked the Cowboys. Had a nice up and coming talented team. Then I just hated them after that and ever since.

[@davidgilbert3821]

1991 nfc championship game Lions vs Washington redskins.

[@johnwiesner9590]

After that season, both have not made it back to a conference title game until the Lions last season.

[@andysmeltzer2505]

Pretty crazy, the Redskins had Monk, Clark & Sanders, and basically did nothing this game. This was before Dallas had Deion and before Darren Woodson was a star. Would’ve thought the Redskins offense could’ve gotten more going.

[@jamiedove430]

Should hav been 15-1 in 1991..Played at Philadelphia to ended the season..Joe Gibbs pulled the starters at halftime...Not overtime it was in regulation.Still went on to win Super Bowl Number 3..Only coach to win with 3 different quarterbacks..

[@fortynights1513]

Could’ve allowed the fewest sacks on record if not for them pulling starters.

[@TL2354]

Didn’t lose in overtime

[@jamiedove430]

@TL2354 my bad..24-22 in regulation..I know my overtime mistake changes my entire comment 😂..with Jeff Rutledge at quarterback

[@frankaddington1773]

yep Super Bowls with three diff. QBs AND with three different starting RBs

[@astrostar49]

I forgot how good of an arm Mark Rypien had. Hell of a season in '91 even if it was just a one year wonder. Gary Clark was also a heck of a receiver.

[@matiasllull]

Bro, that first throw from Eikman... Was sick

[@EllisonLowrimore-y8h]

My Dad and I are Cowboys fans. My Dad since day one and me since 1976. We watched that game was amazing as all of my friends said Dallas doesn’t stand a chance. Plus I grew up and still live in the Bay Area.

[@1BrianSawyer]

6:31 Harper doesn't make that catch, it's very likely the Redskins go 19-0. Remember, they pulled starters in the 2nd half against Philly and lost on a late field goal in Week 17, 24-22.

[@ForeverYoung2708]

But it didn't happen, The Cowboys won this game fair and square

Great aggressive coaching by Jimmie. Jimmie would still be an elite coach in this modern era with his aggressive mentality.

[@LiamDeege]

Surely the Cowboys throw this upcoming game right?

[@romegrey2600]

As a 90s baby before I understood football I used to love the simplicity of just the jersey matchup. Washington at home in the good guy whites vs the Dallas evil dark blues then Dallas at home in their whites vs the Washington evil burgundy it just felt different especially when both were really good like you had to choose 1 regardless of if you were a fan of either

[@kevinburke6055]

The Cowboys had just lost to the Giants and they were very bad in that game so no one expected this from this point on the 90s Dallas Dynasty was born

[@Riles3152]

Though 91 Washington would go on to win the SB and become one of the greatest and most underrated teams in NFL history, this win by Dallas, giving the Redskins there 1st loss of that season, may have been the turning point in not only that season, but for what set the stage for there future as eventual SB champions in 3 of the next 4 seasons.

An iconic rivalry during this era, gone today. Also look at the crowd. It's 95% Washington. Cowboy fans were always deep in Washington but you aren't outnumbering the crowd at Washington back in the day. The same was true vice versa in Dallas. Jerry Jones has ruined the Cowboys as much as Daniel Synder ruined the Commanders. Now even a huge cheer when Dallas caught the hail mary or when Irvin went up 21-7. BTW, anybody see the ref with the gun at the end lol.
