Testaverde Keyshawn Witten Jones lead wild comeback at Seattle 2004

This was the first of two of the wildest finishes you will ever see. Just a few weeks before Vinny Testaverde hit Patrick Crayton for a hail mary Touchdown to beat Washington he made an amazing play to Keyshawn Johnson which should have been overturned. Jason Witten recovered the onsides and Julius Jones capped off a huge night with a winning TD.
One last time we as cowboys fans got to watch Jerry Rice stand on the sidelines and watch our offense beat his team. How sweet it was.

[@megamuffin15]

Some good memories from this game. I remember since of course it was a school night my dad made me go to bed after Seattle made it 10, so I never saw the Keyshawn touchdown. But after the onside kick, my dad came into my room and got me out of bed! We woke my mom up with that Jones touchdown. Great memory.

[@soylentteal]

Julius looked like a world-beater for the last half of his rookie year. Then he got a severe high ankle sprain the next year and was never the same again.

Man this is CLASSIC footage. I was going through high school during these years and it was so frustrating to be a Cowboys fan (and still is), but it was always a fun ride regardless. Thank you!

The year after i left high school the Triplets won there first of three Superbowls. I lived across the street from Texas stadium in those days. They were holding a pep rally in the stadium during the game. I went up on my roof with a tv. Muted the tv and watched it with the roar of the crowd in the stadium. It was like i was there.

[@deucepickle2091]

[@StylistecS]

AL Michaels for some reason had it against Dallas when Parcells was here. I remember the game between Washington and Dallas on mnf earlier that year and it seemed he was cheering for Joe Gibbs team.

[@timmyjohnson7954]

I never got that vibe. The only people who disliked Parcells were the local Dallas media. They had a hangup because he was from the Northeast. Mike Rhyner and others at the ticket called him the New Jersey Con Man. So absurd.

[@TheBandicootNerd131]

What also makes that more absurd is Parcells is responsible for the development of Tony Romo. If Parcells wasn't the coach of the Cowboys Tony wouldn't be on the Cowboys right now.

[@nickadams6537]

Nah Al Michaels was right this time. I'm a Cowboys fan and i'll admit Keyshawn's arm hit out of bounds without the 2nd foot coming down inbounds. That was a huge break. Shocking that it wasn't reviewed to be honest.

[@mooknick242]

there is no doubt that Al Michaels showed favoritism..it is cool no big deal but it was blatantly obvious on more that just a couple occasions.

Jerry Rice grew up a Cowboys fan and was going to be drafted by the Cowboys. Bill Walsh found out and moved up one spot before the Cowboys in the draft and took him.

It wouldn’t be a catch unless they ruled it a force out. I believe that rule was still in place back then. Al did seem to be really disgruntled about the ruling, my guess is he lost a bet. He’s known to be a big gambler.

@@sp2817 All i hear are excuses for mediocrity. 2003 was Parcells only above average coaching performance while in Dallas. Bill Parcells should have been fired for the horrendous 2006 draft. 2005 Cowboys start 7-4 and end the season 9-7 missing the playoffs 2006 Cowboys start 8-4 and end the season 9-7. The Cowboys have a chance to win the Division on Xmas Day 2006 and get blown out at home vs the Eagles. I attended this game. This was the game that I realized Parcells wasn't worth a crap as a head coach. Parcells let his personal feelings effect how he coached the best wide receiver in the NFL and it showed. We didn't use TO at all in the best way that we could. 2007 Cowboys are roughly the same team as the 2006 versions but with a new coach go 13-3. Terrell Owens has a monster season and his 1st team all Pro. Bill Parcells was garbage in Dallas.

[@Damianoutlaw]

@@sp2817 one more thing...the Eagles had a similar string of bad seasons before hiring Andy Reid and becoming the premier team in the NFC from 2000-2004. Dallas was looking for the same type of magic from Bill Parcells and instead all they got was 9-7 and continuous end of season collapses. Teams can turnaround very quickly with the right coach....See the 2007 Cowboys. If another coach takes your same players and instead of going 9-7 goes 13-3.....it is not a positive indictment on Bill Parcells.

[@Damianoutlaw]

@@sp2817 Are you high??? Yes......... the 2007 Cowboys were roughly the same team as in 2006. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Dallas_Cowboys_season Im not going to cut and paste, but tell me what big free agent or draft pick was added after the 2006 season? What changed was that the Dallas Cowboys got a head coach who was a defensive mastermind, and who knew how to utilize his best player; Terrell Owens. The 2005 and 2006 teams had way more talent than to go 9-7. Wade Phillips 2007 and 2009 seasons are better than anything Parcells did.

[@Damianoutlaw]

@@sp2817 As a coach of the Dallas Cowboys Wade Phillips was 10x better than Bill Parcells. Outside of 2003 Bill Parcells was absolute horseshit as the Cowboys head coach.

[@Damianoutlaw]

@@sp2817 Wade Phillips won the NFC east twice and won a playoff game. How many playoff games did Bill Parcell win in Dallas? Did the Cowboys win any division titles under Bill Parcells? They had a chance in 2006, but the Eagles blew out the Cowboys on Christmas day 2006 at home.

DAL and SEA have definitely traded blows over the years. Glad by Boys are currently the ones who are up after beating the Seacocks in the play-offs this past weekend.

SoundOfWhiteNoise1 Dallas has beat them a lot recently. I found it laughable that everyone and all networks were showing the 06 playoff game like it had relevance. Romo beat Seattle in 08, 09, 11 and 14. Had he been healthy I bet he would have beat them soundly in 2015 at the stadium. They barely beat Matt cassell.
