Tomorrow's Washington-Dallas game figures to be a real fiasco.
Dallas is out of the playoffs. Washington seems to have stocked its roster with players from the temp agency.
1979 Week Sixteen was a doozy in the series. A lot at stake for the Skins. The Cowboys were already in the Playoffs. It's often referred to as the "double comeback" game. John Riggins was a Beast.
Skins Roster that year.
Here's the boxscore for the game.
I think easily one of the best Dallas-Washington battles ever.
The year before Washington beat Dallas 9-5. On Monday Night. Not a pretty game. Could get ugly again this Christmas day.
Dallas decleated the Skins 37-10 in the rematch.
The 1978 Skins started 6-0. They had a major slide afterward and finished 8-8.
In 1986, Cowboys crushed Washington 30-6 in Dallas. Boxscore.
In the return engagement, Skins returned the favor. Blowing out Dallas 41-14. Boxscore.
The 86 Skins were one of my favorite Joe Gibbs teams.
Here's that roster.
