I hate Dallas for this. We were leading 17-10, the Cowboys only had gained 143 yards of total offense in 59
minutes and their points had only come on a typical Vinny interception return for a score and a fumble by
John Harvey inside our 30-yard line. A friend turned to me and said "you know they're going to go down and
win it now don't you?". They did as well thanks to Aikman and Irvin.
