Cowboys save their season
The Dallas Cowboys finally looked like the team that has won three of the last five Super Bowls Sunday afternoon as they defeated the Washington Redskins at Texas Stadium, 28-11.
Cowboy QB Troy Aikman had a huge day as he led the Cowboys to back-to-back wins. Aikman threw for just 201 yards but threw 4 touchdowns in the victory. It was clearly the best day of a tough season for Aikman.
The Cowboy defense zeroed their game plan in stopping Redskin RB Terry Allen. They held the All-Pro running back to just 18 yards on 12 carries.
Cowboy CB Kevin Smith had a big day for the Boys. He intercepted Gus Frerotte twice and recovered a Frerotte fumble.
The Cowboys have won two and a row and are back in the Wild Card hunt in the NFC; however, they travel to Lambeau Field next Sunday to take on the Packers, who have circled this game on the calendar. The Cowboys have owned the Packers the last few years, but the Packers are looking to avenge those losses next Sunday.
The Redskins are now tied with the Giants for the NFC East lead at 7-4. The two teams will clash next Monday Night in a battle for the NFC East lead. The game will be at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium.
