​@@flexiblestrategist9922Peete wasn't as bad as his outcome. Remember, he had absolutely no WRs. Ricky Waters was his best ball catcher. He also had like 2 seconds before he had to just release the ball.

[@PontFlair]

​​@@bjt81366I agree with most of what you said. My Home-Town Birdz didn't have great WRs. I believe Fred Barnett had been hurt for a significant time, and lost a step he probably never regained. Calvin Williams was on his last legs it looked like. Shout out Art Monk, that said, it wasn't THAT ART MONK in his prime. The HOF'r!! A lot to be desired at WR for sure. And I don't remember seeing a familiar TE either in these highlights. Rickey Watters was good to great, but he was our only legit receiver like you said and he ran behind a very suspect O-Line. This wasn't Stoutland's (sp.) O-line.

I was 15 watching that game from Arlington TX and I remember hating me some Barry Switzer at that moment.

[@tidetalkwithwebb5391]

I love Mike Tyson calling the quarterback rule ridiculous lol. The NFL isn't the same without John Madden and Pat Summerall calling games.

[@stevenmcnabb9185]

One thing missing that really adds to this is Madden, coming back from commercial break tries to explain how the ref signaled for the two minute warning before the snap, only to see the snap happen first and correct himself. Ball don't lie.

[@nythepremier]

4:22 Mike Tyson??

[@fairmounthotelhotel2711]

yes

[@WorthingtonTuckerJ]

I love them uniforms Dallas Cowboys are wearing.

[@davidderitis9068]

Not me, they were UGLY ! 😂

[@jerrygleeson4769]

I was at this game sitting in the 700 level, and there are two things I will never forget: 1. How loud the crowd was when the Eagles stopped the Cowboys the second time on 4th and 1 2. I lost feeling in my feet because the wind chill was EIGHT DEGREES at kickoff! No doubt one of the coldest games I have ever been to, and it was worth it.

[@denniseverett1904]

It was the kick in the ass the Cowboys needed to win the rubber match the following month and the SB

[@nathangibney2761]

Cowboys jerseys were awesome 😎

[@mikeblaz]

Was there, great game at the toilet bowl Vet. Damn, can't believe that's 25yrs ago...I'm old:( Also, great to hear Madden/Summerall once again.

[@88IRVIN88]

I remember being so pumped for this game when I was 14 and was so upset to lose this game. Burned into my memory.

[@denniseverett1904]

We won the rubber match a month later ( a 30-11 drubbing that wasn't even that close) and won the SB.

[@kirbygene]

John Madden could barely contain himself over that 4th and 1 call. Tied ballgame, in FG range already for Eagles if you don't make it. They get a break with the 2 minute call, but RUN THE SAME PLAY AGAIN.

[@Nerd0208]

Let’s see Bills vs Dolphins highlights!

[@JebitoJr]

I agree man Jim Kelly vs Dan Marino that is a classic!

[@kennylc2193]

It's still crazy that on Dallas' final possession, Aikman twice underthrew Irvin. If he puts the pass where it should have been for the first one, he beats Bobby Taylor for a 60+ yard TD.

[@CoreyT127]

If you grew up in the tri-state area like me. ( Wilmington DE ) The 4th and 1 game is one of the greatest moments that's reached mythical statis!

[@italiad1013]

I was there!!!! Top section end zone behind my boys! With my dad!! I was cocky all game UNTIL 4-1...TWICE!!!! Barely escaped with our lives wearing boys gear.

[@DanStrayer]

Three things I recall from this game (and two of which I enjoyed re-watching here)... 1. Bobby Taylor was magnificent that day, to the point that I sensed that the future cornerback prototype would be taller to combat tall, athletic wideouts. Oops. 2. Aikman going ballistic at Erik Williams (snap count? understanding the step drop? still not sure) at the end, and my old man saying "I'd be damned if I were a lineman that I'd take THAT from a quarterback." Years later, I watched the A Football Life doc on Aikman, and saw that he became a lot more demonstrative and demanding in the Switzer years because Switzer wasn't going to hold people accountable the way Jimmy Johnson had. Upon seeing that, I immediately recalled this end-of-game moment and thought "whatever the hell he did or didn't do, Erik Williams messed the eff up." 3. Studio analyst Jimmy Johnson (this was pre-Dolphins, mind you) somehow holding back a smile in the postgame show on Fox. He was very magnanimous in spite of what he was witnessing and had been through with those same Cowboys players, but he didn't hold back his criticism of the 4th and 1 decision, either. Never rooted for his teams personally, but I gained a new level of respect for him that day.

[@Willthrill8]

This was childhood right here. Pat summeral and Madden were the sound track to the 90s

[@MrDeAdHeAd1989]

This was 90’s as it gets people! Uniforms were fire 🔥

[@quiksix25]

My dad's friend has his baby's christening during this game and the place where the reception was didn't have a TV- we snuck out to the car and heard Merrill call this live on WYSP- I was 11, good times

[@cathompson23]

@NFL Throwback What was the official Pantone color for kelly green that the Philadelphia Eagles used in this game and for the 1995 season?

[@michaelleroy9281]

This was the last season kelly green 💚 was the color

[@ernieneverscardinals461]

Troy gave William's a mouth full !!

[@kirbyph9217]

Nice NFL throwback 👍😊

[@ballthemblack]

If The Cowboys didn't win the super bowl that season the coach would have been fired quickly after that bad decision in your own territory

[@09rja]

1:57 Damn.....Mike giving Emmett CTE. lol

[@erics2739]

back when I first started watching this smahmouth era!!

[@AntiMTVMovement]

4:25 I could tell that was Mike Tyson with his unique speaking style

[@thomasmeyer6407]

Such a joy to hear summerall and Madden doing the play calls

[@ivanhoe1968]

I've heard Cowboys players talk about those 2 4th downs and how it lit a fire under them all the way to the Superbowl- they realised that it was all on them to make those plays.

[@shhmoovepenta9962]

Aikman missed Irving on that last drive. If he put more into it Irving had his man beat by 1 full step, he’s taking that to the House game over. Aikman stepped up beautifully in the pocket and in rhythm he should of gunned it. Bet he wishes he had that throw back. @13:34 time stamp

[@ThatGuyInPhilly]

An absolute classic game!!
