The Cowboys were 6-5 when this game started. They were 7-9 the year before and 1-15 the year before that. After this game, they only lost about 20 times in the next 5 years. This GAME started it all!
Yeah, I'm a lifelong cowboys fan. I feel like this game started the dynasty for the cowboys. Even though they didn't win the super bowl this season, it started them towards realizing how good they was. Cuz this Redskin team is one of the greatest super bowl teams of all time and they beat them. As a matter of fact, the 91 Washington Redskins, I'll go ahead and say it. Overall, we're better than the 85 bears. They didn't have a better defense but they had a great defense. Washington did and they also had the highest scoring offense in football. Where is the bears? Scored a lot of points in 85 but mainly set up by their defense
@@BruceWayne-ri4wrthis was a huge momentum builder. Then beating the Steelers on Thanksgiving and beating the Saints and the Eagles FINALLY to win a playoff spot. Jimmy learned from his mistakes and got a real backup QB in Steve Beuerlein. Jimmy realized that after that season they needed to shore up the defense which he did. He got Thomas Everett in free agency. Got Kevin Smith and Robert Jones in the draft. Then Charles Haley fell into our lap with that trade. Then once the season started and we played the Redskins in the first it showed that getting Charles Haley was a game changer.
This game definitely showed what Dallas was about to accomplish in the following years. Charles Haley was their big final piece. It's amazing how Jimmy built that team from being down in the dumps to being champions.
There was no salary cap yet, lol..JJ bought players, just like buying that new stadium, lol..then the 'salary cap' popped his bubble, from 1996, to now, NO SB's..THEY'RE all rich, anyway, so it's like a game of chess to them..the ONLY private stadium left is Lambeau field..
@@richardhamblen5526 … but yet they had the youngest team in the league, most of them drafted , that has 0 to do with a salary cap, that’s good drafting and building a team
from 1990-1995 4 times a team from the NFC East won the Superbowl (1994 the 49ers won), this was when that division was hotly contested and some serious rivalries existed. Great times to be a fan of good 'ol smashmouth football
It was just pure smash mouth football with hardly no rules just let the players do their thing and show ther athleticism and those announcers were the best Madden and Summeral.
This was a defining moment in the beginning of Dallas' dominance of the early 90s! Three Superbowls in four years = DYNASTY Could of easily been four in a row...😘
Every coach that thinks they can't beat an allegedly superior opponent should watch this game. Jimmy didn't coach scared. Stop trying to lose, show some guts & play to win.
The hail mary at the end of the 1st half sums it up. Could have gone for the kick- Ken Willis had good kicking stats that year- but against an opponent of that caliber at at RFK, you have to throw caution to the wind.
The Cowboys had lost 3 straight and were 6-5 and faced elimination from playoff contention. Jimmy Johnson approached this game like it was a Super Bowl. He went for it something like 4 times in this game on 4th downs, really going for broke. The 24-21 Cowboys win was probably the most important of the Jimmy Johnson era. It stopped the bleeding and from here they would win 6 in a row; Washington, Atlanta, in Philly vs one of the great defensive teams of all time with Steve Buerlein at qb, beat Chicago in a WC game on the road before finally losing to Detroit. It was a highly impressive run with their backs against the wall in late November.
I personally was happy Detroit beat Dallas in the playoffs because I don't think Washington would have beaten them in the NFC Championship. Dallas was starting to bloom. That said a Washington-Dallas Championship game would have been much more enjoyable to watch.
@@whataboutrob442 That's correct: two in a row after the opening Browns win (Washington Football Good, and Eagles), then lost 3 of 4 (Lions, Oilers, Giants), and ran the table after that.
@@gerrypeet4861 Yes had the Skins met Cowboys in the NFC title game I would have been more than a little bit worried. They would at least given a much better fight than the Lions
Well maybe if you had a better understanding and meaning of why the name change was necessary you would understand it was outside of the lines of football which gave it a better understanding, I've been a Cowboys fan since 1971 and I think it was a very classy long overdue name change, the redskin name was very offensive to native Indians, it's no different than a black person being called a n*''*'a, but you being white it will take awhile for it to sink in and get the full understanding because just like the word redskin, the name n"**"a was giving by the white man, just a short lesson in American history which I hope it made you the wiser.
Another great game on CBS…with the legendary announcers, PAT SUMMERALL, and JOHN MADDEN……could listen to Coach Madden’s commentary all day long…RIP Big Fella
That's what made Jimmy Johnson great. He knew the right players to get and with Jimmy getting Steve Beuerlein, it helped the Cowboys to win 5 straight games to 11-5 and make the playoffs and beat the Bears in the wildcard.
@@redmustangredmustang that wildcard win over the bears in soldier field meant as much to me as any of the three Super Bowls. Even though they got smoked by Detroit the next week, you could see the writing on the wall that greatness was ahead.
@@wesleyantrim6648 that along with good drafting in Darren Woodson, Jimmy Smith (who would do well in Jacksonville), Kevin Smith and free agency signings in Thomas Everett and the trade to get Charles Haley would finally put it together. This is why Jimmy Johnson is in the hall of fame because he was the master in building a team with speedy players.
I was in my first year of college when this game happened. And I remember some snotty woman in one of the common rooms talking about how she and her BF were going up to DC to watch Washington beat Dallas the week before this game. I looked her dead in the face and said, "excuse me, you are going to see them play and they MIGHT win but it's not guaranteed." I never saw her again but I certainly wish I had after this game. One of the sweetest regular season wins I've ever watched for Dallas.
Me being a die heart redskins slash commanders fan since I was 5 I used to love when my redskins played cowboys back In earlier 90s when cowboys had troy aikman Micheal Irvin emmitt smith you loved with pat summerall and John Madden with call those games that was my childhood
The game that started it all for the Cowboys. Going in there at 6-5 and had lost 2 straight games. They had to win this game and essentially win out to guarantee them a wildcard spot. No one gave the Cowboys a chance. Jimmy Johnson threw everything he had against the Redskins and signed a capable backup in Steve Beuerlein. When Aikman went down to injury Beuerlein came in and got the Cowboys 10 points for that 24-21 victory. That got the ball rolling for the Cowboys where they won 5 straight and beat the Eagles for the first time since 1987 . Then they won a wildcard against the Bears. The next year everything fell together for the Cowboys will the acquisition of Charles Haley. For any Cowboy fan, this is the game that started the Cowboys dynasty.
I was a property manager at a 50 unit, fresh out of college, in 77 - 78 4 BLOCKS from their HOME TURFF when thy lost to the DALLAS COWBOYS in 78! Local bar was Visited by JOHN MADDEN and KENNY STABLER. John was JOHN on SCREEN & OFF!! Great man! KENNY went to the OILERS, Houston! Never saw him turn anyone away!! aka he was a BIG & GOOD MAN!! 🤠I been a COWBOY Fan since 1960!! 😎
A couple of things in this game not allowed anymore. Hitting the quarterback after the pass is now a “roughing the passer penalty”. The other thing is when pointing to the opposing bench after the play ended is a taunting penalty. I love hearing John Madden in this game. RIP
When Mayhew got that early pick 6, it looked like another Redskins rout was underway. Most any other team would have folded right there to the mighty Redskins, but Dallas to their credit didn’t.
Ah, back in the days when the Cowboys were swiftly becoming a Superpower. If JJ & JJ had been able to have co-existed, Only injuries could have stopped Dallas from winning three straight Super Bowls. As long as Jimmy Johnson was around, all teams feared the Cowboys. Once Jimmy was gone, injuries and free agency losses brought the dynasty down. First team in Super Bowl history to win the game 3 out of 4 years. The Patriots later duplicated the feat but no one else has if memory serves..
This was a very close game. It wasn’t supposed to be. 7-5 cowboys went to DC to play 11-1 skins. It looked like it was going to be a rough day for the cowboys after an early pick 6. Aikman was money after that. He got taken out by a knee injury and Burlein came in the third quarter, but they didn’t miss a beat. Irvin was clutch all day. The young cowboys showed they can compete with the very best, and built confidence by defeating Washington, who went on to win the SB that season. The Cowboys won the SB the subsequent 2 seasons.
This was the game I desperately wanted to watch but unfortunately stuck in Motown and because of stupid NFL I was forced to watch the local team broadcast. This was before directv ticket. At least as far as I was concerned since even if it was around I couldn’t get it. But yeah this game was when we finally turned the corner towards domination. This was the last season when the redskins, yes I said redskins, were a force in the league. Kinda sad. A little anyway lol
Redskins was a good team and 1991and cowboy to and good differences and between the two super bowl teams and I Dallas cowboy won the game and lots of players on the 2 team are half fame m.v.p and championships
A rare time when the Cowboys wear their dark blue jerseys because the Redskins were one of a few teams to wear their white uniforms as their home uniforms. And vice versa as when the Redskins visited the Cowboys it was one of the rare times when they wore their red uniforms.
To all of the J.G. 'mockers', for his clapping, Jimmy Johnson is clapping in THIS 1991 game, after Emmitt scored on the Redskins, lol..nobody mocks HIM..so shut the yapping up about Jason Garrett..HE QB'd us to our only win, in 1989, AGAINST the redskins..if you want to mock anybody, mock JJ, HE is the 'no SB' clown, lol..since SB XXX..
Sheer arrogance. He thought he had all the answers to build a winning team, but he didn't. His draft record is pathetic at best. He even tried to convince Joe Gibbs to come out of retirement, but Joe knew better than working for Millen. And the rest is sad history for the pathetic Lions.
This was the start of the dynasty. Then a few weeks later, they won a playoff game in muddy soldier field. Those of us in d/fw knew 1992 was going to be special
It's interesting how the fates of the Lions and Cowboys diverged after their playoff game this year. The Lions were never able to piece it all together, while the Cowboys went on to have a dynasty. You have to figure that the Herschel Walker trade did a lot to put the Cowboys over the top.
@@tomcollins5112 it was Jimmy Johnson getting the right players. You can get all the draft picks from that Walker trade, but if only a few pan out then and you don't improve then you are out as coach. Look what Jimmy drafted that turned out to be starters. Emmitt Smith, Erik Williams, Leon Lett, Russell Maryland, Kevin Smith, Alivin Harper, Dixon Edwards, Robert Jones, Darrin Smith, Jimmy Smith (who turned out great for Jacksonville), etc. If you don't draft players who turn out to be good then again you won't be in coaching very long.
@@redmustangredmustang The Cowboys had good management back then, sure, but you have to admit that the Vikings were robbed in that trade. What's funny is that Walker eventually wound up back on the Cowboy's roster anyway!
@@redmustangredmustang So true! Jimmy knew what to do with all those choices. I remember the sports press at the time was only focusing on all those draft choices but not as much on how smartly Jimmy and his guys used them. That became obvious later.
This was the peak of the rivalry. Dallas upset Washington at RFK in 1988 (when they finished 3-13) and 1989 (1-15), along with 1991 (when Washington went 14-2 and won the Super Bowl). Washington then upset Super Bowl-winning Dallas teams in 1992, 1993, and 1995 (the latter at Texas Stadium). Summerall and Madden called 19 DAL-WSH games out of 29 aired by CBS and Fox from 1982-2001. This was after Summerall and Brookshier called 12 consecutive DAL-WSH games on CBS from 1974-1980.
The peak? I'd say 1972-1983 when they literally played twice for an NFC championship game, had Roger Staubach's last classic comeback, a Monday Night game for the ages, Clint Longley's Thanksgiving miracle, and the game that in many ways spelled the end of the Landry Cowboys as we all knew them in 1983.
This was the game where they started hitting their stride. A little research shows that they were 6-5 going into this game and finished 11-5. I LOVE the 1:50:54 mark, though I thought the crowd should've gotten into it a bit more. The Redskins players were into it. The guy waving the team banner was into it. John Madden was into it. By the way, world, the term."Redskins" isn't racist. The democrat party is racist. These flaming liberals support abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, pedophilia, terrorism, theft, anarchy, rape, slander, libel, racism, child-trafficking, et cetera, and then they act like they're somehow bastions of morality.
@@tomcollins5112 I at least wonder how they lost 38-6. Still, it was one game. The Lions were more prepared that week, but it was clear to me that the Cowboys would be back in a big way. The following season, about 3/5 through it, the Niners had the better record, but I was thinking the Cowboys would beat them.
@@ronaldm.6150 The Cowboys had a couple of stupid losses (to the Rams at home and that wacky one late against this team here at RFK) while the 49ers only had 1 To the Cardinals. Now, Bills/49ers that 1992 season, I think that game was too exciting to be anywhere near stupid😀).
We Skins fans had a sigh of relief when Detroit won. We wanted nothing to do with Dallas despite not admitting that publicly. They lost to Detroit because overall they were not ready to go that far. Remember, the defense in 1991 was middle of the pack, before being transformed to #1 overall in 1992. And Aikman at this point was pretty good, but not elite.
1:41:20 -- Note the shot of Craig Kupp, briefly the backup for Beuerlein while Aikman was out. He's the son of NFL lineman Jake Kupp (a former Cowboy) and the father of L.A. Ram wideout Cooper Kupp (I wanted Dallas to draft him in 2017 because of his standout college career, but it would also have been a kick to have three generations play for my team.).
Thanks for the added info. I watched an old Cowboys game the other day on UA-cam where the third-string was Glenn Carano, whose daughter was on The Mandalorian series recently.
Right. He was a head-scratcher of a 2nd-round pick in 1977, when QB wasn’t a need. They also took Steve DeBerg in round 10, who outplayed him, but was their last cut that year. He ended up playing into his 40s all over the league. Carano hardly played at all during his years in the league.
Living in the U.K I used to record the highlight show for the game of the week on the old VHS recorder. During the '91 season this was the only game I was unable to tape!! Glad to be able to watch it now on you tube.. A Great game!!
This game scared the daylights out of me...because it was the only time really that Washington had been shut down offensively...did they just have an off game, maybe they were a little flat, due for a loss?...still I was praying they wouldn't have play the Cowboys in the playoffs...and then the Cowboys imploded in the opening round against the Lions. by the next seasons the Cowboys were unstoppable.
Beuerlein took over and led them to the playoffs (despite completing only 49 per cent of his passes). 2:06:22 - What a classy banner showing as the field goal squeaked through.
I'm reminded of two things from this game: 1) When the Cowboys had a lead midway through the 4th quarter it was as good as over. That OL and Emmitt Smith would demoralize the defense and chew up the clock. 2) I had forgotten how aggressive Jimmy Johnson was.
The Cowboys were 6-5 when this game started. They were 7-9 the year before and 1-15 the year before that. After this game, they only lost about 20 times in the next 5 years. This GAME started it all!
If Troy Aikman doesn't get hurt "that game could have started it all"

Matt Millen. Now, who would have thought off the field he couldn't turn around the Lions. ???
Sheer arrogance. He thought he had all the answers to build a winning team, but he didn't. His draft record is pathetic at best. He even tried to convince Joe Gibbs to come out of retirement, but Joe knew better than working for Millen. And the rest is sad history for the pathetic Lions.
I am Fan to the old retrensmission TV to sport old years 90's.
what ? it's JOE GIBBS from NASCAR ?
Yes , he was the skin’s coach before retiring and going to nascar
1:07:56 perfect
This young looking Aikman looks kind of like Tommy Morrison. Lol.
Skins were loaded.

"No surprise that RFK is sold out!"
What the hell happened?
Team moved to MARYLAND
@@jonesbrandon76 Naw! We suck!!
The inmates now run the nfl asylum.
RFK was a tiny baseball stadium. Easy to sell out.
@@jessestone785 We had a waiting list of another 50K people! 5 Super Bowls! 3 Super Bowl Wins!!
I remember this game refs helped the Cowboys win this game
Who won this game
I think John Madden is great, but he doesnt need to explain as to why the man seated in the endzone is not wearing socks with his sandels!!
I just realized that Jimmy Johnson's career arch and coaching style are similar to Pete Caroll's.
No...smh
redskins/cowboys. it was once the best rivalry in the NFL. from the 1970's through the 1990's it was must-see tv. i miss those days.
Me to being hardcore redskins slash commanders fan
So much for the Blue uniform curse!!
Thank you for this sir. I had this on VHS years ago and lost it.
Brian I'm so glad I was able to get this game back to you.
This was the start of the dynasty. Then a few weeks later, they won a playoff game in muddy soldier field. Those of us in d/fw knew 1992 was going to be special
It's interesting how the fates of the Lions and Cowboys diverged after their playoff game this year. The Lions were never able to piece it all together, while the Cowboys went on to have a dynasty. You have to figure that the Herschel Walker trade did a lot to put the Cowboys over the top.
@@tomcollins5112 it was Jimmy Johnson getting the right players. You can get all the draft picks from that Walker trade, but if only a few pan out then and you don't improve then you are out as coach. Look what Jimmy drafted that turned out to be starters. Emmitt Smith, Erik Williams, Leon Lett, Russell Maryland, Kevin Smith, Alivin Harper, Dixon Edwards, Robert Jones, Darrin Smith, Jimmy Smith (who turned out great for Jacksonville), etc. If you don't draft players who turn out to be good then again you won't be in coaching very long.
@@redmustangredmustang The Cowboys had good management back then, sure, but you have to admit that the Vikings were robbed in that trade. What's funny is that Walker eventually wound up back on the Cowboy's roster anyway!
@@redmustangredmustang So true! Jimmy knew what to do with all those choices. I remember the sports press at the time was only focusing on all those draft choices but not as much on how smartly Jimmy and his guys used them. That became obvious later.
This was the peak of the rivalry. Dallas upset Washington at RFK in 1988 (when they finished 3-13) and 1989 (1-15), along with 1991 (when Washington went 14-2 and won the Super Bowl). Washington then upset Super Bowl-winning Dallas teams in 1992, 1993, and 1995 (the latter at Texas Stadium). Summerall and Madden called 19 DAL-WSH games out of 29 aired by CBS and Fox from 1982-2001. This was after Summerall and Brookshier called 12 consecutive DAL-WSH games on CBS from 1974-1980.
Thanks. Great info.
The peak? I'd say 1972-1983 when they literally played twice for an NFC championship game, had Roger Staubach's last classic comeback, a Monday Night game for the ages, Clint Longley's Thanksgiving miracle, and the game that in many ways spelled the end of the Landry Cowboys as we all knew them in 1983.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 From 1970 to 1995, the Cowboys and Redskins were the NFCs representative in the Super Bowl 13 times.
That’s when I became cowboys fan 1988
1995 Washington best Dallas 2 times that year
This was the game when I realized the Cowboys under Jimmy Johnson were a serious force to be reckoned with.
This was the game where they started hitting their stride. A little research shows that they were 6-5 going into this game and finished 11-5.
I LOVE the 1:50:54 mark, though I thought the crowd should've gotten into it a bit more. The Redskins players were into it. The guy waving the team banner was into it. John Madden was into it.
By the way, world, the term."Redskins" isn't racist. The democrat party is racist. These flaming liberals support abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, pedophilia, terrorism, theft, anarchy, rape, slander, libel, racism, child-trafficking, et cetera, and then they act like they're somehow bastions of morality.
You wonder how on Earth they lost to the Lions in the playoffs, but the Lions actually had a good team in 1991!
@@tomcollins5112 I at least wonder how they lost 38-6. Still, it was one game. The Lions were more prepared that week, but it was clear to me that the Cowboys would be back in a big way.
The following season, about 3/5 through it, the Niners had the better record, but I was thinking the Cowboys would beat them.
@@ronaldm.6150 The Cowboys had a couple of stupid losses (to the Rams at home and that wacky one late against this team here at RFK) while the 49ers only had 1 To the Cardinals. Now, Bills/49ers that 1992 season, I think that game was too exciting to be anywhere near stupid😀).
We Skins fans had a sigh of relief when Detroit won. We wanted nothing to do with Dallas despite not admitting that publicly. They lost to Detroit because overall they were not ready to go that far. Remember, the defense in 1991 was middle of the pack, before being transformed to #1 overall in 1992. And Aikman at this point was pretty good, but not elite.
RIP John Madden.
He was more of an educator than a commentator.
That's a good twist on his life as a broadcaster. Never thought of it that way.
And he liked cheese.
1:41:20 -- Note the shot of Craig Kupp, briefly the backup for Beuerlein while Aikman was out. He's the son of NFL lineman Jake Kupp (a former Cowboy) and the father of L.A. Ram wideout Cooper Kupp (I wanted Dallas to draft him in 2017 because of his standout college career, but it would also have been a kick to have three generations play for my team.).
Thanks for the added info. I watched an old Cowboys game the other day on UA-cam where the third-string was Glenn Carano, whose daughter was on The Mandalorian series recently.
Right. He was a head-scratcher of a 2nd-round pick in 1977, when QB wasn’t a need. They also took Steve DeBerg in round 10, who outplayed him, but was their last cut that year. He ended up playing into his 40s all over the league. Carano hardly played at all during his years in the league.
Living in the U.K I used to record the highlight show for the game of the week on the old VHS recorder. During the '91 season this was the only game I was unable to tape!!
Glad to be able to watch it now on you tube.. A Great game!!
The Dallas cowpersons vs. The Washington football team
Life was so much better without the stupid NEW GENERATION PEOPLE!!!
They're going to be forced to change their name soon. Racist toward cows.
Emmitt looking like a true HOF esp. against a good defense. Great performance.
This game scared the daylights out of me...because it was the only time really that Washington had been shut down offensively...did they just have an off game, maybe they were a little flat, due for a loss?...still I was praying they wouldn't have play the Cowboys in the playoffs...and then the Cowboys imploded in the opening round against the Lions. by the next seasons the Cowboys were unstoppable.
Summeral/Madden were the only announcers that got professional athletes to get jacked up to play harder.
Love hearing Pat Summerall and John Madden call the Cowboys games. Best ever Sportscasters!!
They both were REDSKINS haters!
Those Cowboys uniforms with the dark royal jerseys were the best !!!
Agreed. They had them from 1991-1995 in this version.
Watching this after Madden's passing. This was my all-time favorite game that he and Summerall did throughout the years. R.I.P. Coach Madden.
NFC east won 4 superbowls in a row 90-93. And the bills lost everyone of them.
Our Division is on the way back to being the best in football again .
The Cowboys defeated A) an undefeated Redskin team, B) in Washington, C) with a backup quarterback, and D) with their unlucky dark blue uniforms.
9:11 Even Madden hates long replay reviews.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cowboys fan here. Never will forget this game. I was there & still have the ticket. DC4L!!!! Great memories.
If The Charles Haley Trade was made a year early (instead of in 1992)...Dallas would have been The Best Team in 1991.
Beuerlein took over and led them to the playoffs (despite completing only 49 per cent of his passes).
2:06:22 - What a classy banner showing as the field goal squeaked through.
I'm reminded of two things from this game: 1) When the Cowboys had a lead midway through the 4th quarter it was as good as over. That OL and Emmitt Smith would demoralize the defense and chew up the clock. 2) I had forgotten how aggressive Jimmy Johnson was.
Thanks for putting this on. This is the only NFL game I ever attended. I have always tried to find it on You Tube.
