"The Final Game at Texas Stadium" (Ravens vs. Cowboys 2008, Week 16)

[@JaguarGator8]

Four touchdowns in the final four minutes of the game. Crazy finish. Somewhat reminiscent of a game the Ravens would play five years later against the Vikings

[@pual682]

I got to be at that one. It was my second favorite Ravens game behind only the 2012 divisional against the Broncos. The emotional rollercoaster was incredible and that much snow around here is always a special experience.

[@DustinPlatt]

I was at that Vikings game in Baltimore! It was nothing but snow and ice. It brings back such good memories, my dad died in 2020 and I will always remember my dad buying these 50 yard line, first row, behind the Ravens bench for so much money and once it started snowing he got up and spent the rest of the game in the heated merchandise store while I'm freezing my balls off in our seats. Loved that game and makes me smile every time I go to a Ravens game after he passed.

Of course they had the 'Ring Of Fame', with all the legendary former Cowboys' names posted. Certainly watching many a game on television there, I saw in person, two games. The first, was a Monday night game in '79, between the Eagles and the 'Boys, in which Philly prevailed, with Eagle kicker Tony Franklin booting a then stadium record field record of 59 yds. Then, on T-Giving day, 1983, on a moments notice while residing in Mesquite Texas, I attended the Cowboy/Brown game. Good memories.
