Boyd’s 1997 Replay Game 110 (Week 9) Dallas at Philadelphia
Boniol kicks Eagles to victory! Cowboys continue to lose!
Veteran’s Stadium witnessed a typical NFC East clash as the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys battled Sunday afternoon. The game down to the final ticks of the clock and the Cowboys’ season continues to slide out of control.
The Cowboys started off quickly as QB Troy Aikman hit WR Michael Irvin on a 13-yard TD pass to give the Cowboys a 7-0 lead. Then disaster struck. Aikman was drilled on an incomplete pass and was taken off the field with a concussion. Backup QB Wade Wilson had to come into game and the Cowboys’ offense hit a wall.
Midway through the 4th quarter and the game tied at 10, the Cowboys and Wilson finally went on drive. Emitt Smith exploded for his biggest gain of the game for 21 yards and put the Cowboys into position to win the game. But… Richie Cunningham’s field goal was blocked and that thwarted any chance the Cowboys had at winning the game.
The Eagles took the ball and continued to move it. Detmer hit some key passes to Michael Timpson and Ricky Watters. Detmer moved the ball down to the Cowboys’ 18-yard line and that’s when Chris Boniol kicked the game winner with no time remaining, 13-10.
Next week, the Cowboys will travel to San Francisco to take on the Niners. The rivals are heading in different directions. The Cowboys have lost 4 straight and are 3-5 on the season, while the Niners have won six in a row and are 6-2 on the season.
The Eagles 3-5 also and they will travel to Arizona to take on the struggling Cardinals.

Boyd’s 1997 Replay Game 98 (Week 8) Jacksonville at Dallas
The Sky is Falling in Big D
In one of the worst defeats at home in franchise history, the Dallas Cowboys were obliterated by the Jacksonville Jaguars, 38-3, Sunday in front of over 64,000 fans at Texas Stadium.
The worst defeat at home in franchise history was a 44-0 trouncing at the hands of the ’85 Bears, but this was the worst in the Troy Aikman era. The Cowboys’ strength in this era has been their offensive line. Not anymore. The Cowboys rushed for 63 yards and Cowboy QBs were sacked 7 times. The Boys have now lost 3 in a row, and many are pointing at the leadership in Big D.
As for the Jaguars, they are getting hot. After starting the season 1-4, the Jaguars have won two in a row over the NFC East as they trounced the Eagles, 38-10, last week.
With Natrone Means down with an injury, RB James Stewart picked up the slack. He rushed 28 times for 102 yards and 3 TDs. Brunell was 16 of 27 for 277 yards with a TD. Jimmy Smith (an ex-Cowboy) torched his old team with 8 catches for 154 yards and a score. Keenan McCardell caught 6 passes for 99 yards.
The Jaguars will try to keep it rolling as they have a stiff test as they travel to take on the undefeated Steelers. The Cowboys will travel to Philadelphia next week.
