@@macadelic2492 Me personally, I don’t think he did enough over a longer period of time to legitimately warrant that.

Terrell Davis only played 7 seasons and only had 3 or 4 elite top RB seasons. Gale Sayers only had 1 or 2 1,000 yard seasons. So Elliot might could end up in there one day lol 🤷🏿♂️
Damn, I would love for Dallas to still have that 2016 offensive line. LT--A young Tyron Smith LG-Underrated mauler Ron Leary C-A young Travis Frederick RG-Zach Martin in his young prime and RT--A crafty, savvy veteran Doug Free Their BEST offensive line since the 90's for sure.
Without this line, Zeke wouldn't have been what he was. After 2018, the OL started falling apart and has never gotten back to what it once was. No matter what RB we have, if the OL can't create holes, the RB just becomes trash.
Probably the most Cowboys thing to happen is when 2016 rolled around. This was probably the best chance the boys had to reach the super bowl considering they were extremely hot only to crash and burn and go back to the status quo of dem Boys choking in divisional round. Being a Cowboys fan is very fun. It truly is
@@LimeintheCoco did you not watch? They facemasked witten and it allowed Dallas to keep the timeout and run one more play,(already being in fg range) that’s when the they handed to zeke and Pittsburgh defense allowed zeke a free run to the end zone. My man up top said the Steelers d made mistakes in this one that cost them. I gave an example. Are you suggesting that the Steelers defense didn’t cost the game lol? wtf is up with u
@lakewestchase I guess I just don't like the way it sounds. Like, where do we draw the line with the semantics. Could one argue, the Steelers offense didn't score enough points to beat the Cowboys? So yes, I agree, that mistake did cost them the game. Who your team?
Steelers were 0-4 in 2pt conversions. This enraged me at the time cuz it would have changed the dynamic in the final quarter. But either way Zeke had a awesome game.
In all honesty this was just one of those times a team was done in by securing the 1st round bye and getting it early. They had it rollin late, chose to sit in wk 17, had the bye and lost all momentum

Tell it to Jerry Jones. That man will forever think it's the '90s and him being the general manager and knowing how football works will totally win him a ring as he uses the '90s as the standard
@@cynoflads For real bro. I don't think will ever win another Super Bowl or make it to the NFC Championship game again until Jerry Jomes sells the team and brings in another owner that wants to win and actually doing something in free agency and bring in good players
Dak was fantastic in 2016 but i think if Romo didn't get hurt he would have finally beat Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs! For Romo mentally the game slowed down but his body just didn't hold up
For what ever reason, Dallas squanderd the championship potential of the best team they've had since 1996. What once seemed in conceivable--Dallas as a perennial middle-of-pack team--hjas become their current legacy.
As a Ravens fan. I enjoyed this game not because the Steelers lost , but also the fact they couldn't get to a SB with prime AB ,Bell and Roethlisberger
I don't care what you say about historic rivalries, Dallas is NOT as good as their record shows if they allowed THIS Steelers team to get that close to winning. Edited to add that I just checked, and they won their division 13-3, but lost in the divisional playoffs to the 10-6 Packers, as I kind of guessed.
He said most historic cross conference rivalry and it really has that status because the 2 teams have met in the Superbowl three times which is the most meetings between 2 teams in the Superbowl
@@mgp4447 Absolutely. Also because in the 1970s the Cowboys went to 5 Superbowls, and the Steeler to 4 - so the fact that they were both conceivably "the team of the 70s" added to the rivalry.

Rookie Zeke Elliott looked like he was on an all-time great RB trajectory. Most great running backs really do have short primes let alone careers.

Wish we didn’t lose Leary when we did
that’s because the weak link was Doug Free but everyone was in point. Romo healthy 100% with this team would’ve gotten a ring.

So did LeVeon Bell
@cynoflads yea and he deserves an easy ride from here on out he carried our trash organization for years and made dak look like an all time great because teams feared and committed to our run game so much
Thing that beat the Steelers was them going for two all the time and not making it. You DON'T leave points off the board, I don't care against who.
This is facts.
Yep, the game where Ben fake spiked it, but in the end, it wasn't their day.
This was also the same week that Denver upended New Orleans in the final seconds on a blocked extra point returned for 2
That game was amazing man not talked about enough lol
Who the hell was calling those two pointers for Pittsburgh?
Tomlin. He was really obsessed with 2 point conversions at the time. As a Steelers fan, it frustrates me to see people (even some Steelers fans themselves) praise Tomlin non-stop but at the same time ignore all the dumb decisions he makes.
I remember this game I thought Pittsburgh was going to win this game 8 years ago man can’t believe how time flies by so fast
Steelers just kept going for two
I never understood that 😕 that was one of the reasons they lost
Just got flashbacks to this game after watching tonight’s game
I wish Dak and Zeke get a ring like we always thought they would 😔

Week 5 on Sunday Night Football on NBC Dallas Cowboys at Pittsburgh Steelers. It will be a good game on Sunday night.

This game was sooooo good
I remember watching this game live. The final 2 TD calls still ring in my ear clear as day.
Dallas offensive line this season was insane
It’s crazy that I grew up watching NFL throwback and now they’re posting the games that I watched when I was younger
What a classic game we dem boyz 💯
I understand how important that touchdown was for Dez Bryant as he lost his dad.
This has to be in the Top 10 of all time great Dallas Cowboys games. Was truly fun to watch.
Zeke doing the heel toe will forever be legendary
I remember this game I went to work after we won
8 years later and 9 seasons later the QB and RB are still on the Cowboys silencing Steel city.
i remember bringing this game up to my history teacher (steelers fan) that was prolly the maddest i seen him all year
The Cowboys' first-ever regular season opponent was the Steelers (1960) and their first-ever win was over the Steelers a year later.
this is the offense line people still believed dallas has had for the past 5 years 😂
Had a bad Defense back then, we NEED TO AVENGE this one Sunday 10. 6. 24 #Here we go Steelers 🏈
Romo had no idea he would never start another game
Shoutout to the Fox scoreboard
People were so certain this Cowboys core would eventually win a title.
So much for that, lol.
I lost my voice that day. Perhaps maybe the greatest game I saw 4 and 21 play. What a shootout.
If only the steelers had done anything for 2-pt conversions other than have Ben roll out and have to make a play, they might have won
This when AB had common sense
Straight up the gut, nice blocking and run.
I forgot how bad the Steelers defense was during the Killer B’s era
Dak was fantastic in 2016 but i think if Romo didn't get hurt he would have finally beat Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs! For Romo mentally the game slowed down but his body just didn't hold up
I Remember Ezekiel Elliott's Incredible Performance Like It Was Yesterday
This game was incredible
For what ever reason, Dallas squanderd the championship potential of the best team they've had since 1996. What once seemed in conceivable--Dallas as a perennial middle-of-pack team--hjas become their current legacy.
Looking back on this game, steelers secondary was absolutely cooked. Ross cockrell and willie gay as your cb 1 and 2 is awful
I miss our old team
The best Zeke and Dak were when they were rookies
As a Ravens fan. I enjoyed this game not because the Steelers lost , but also the fact they couldn't get to a SB with prime AB ,Bell and Roethlisberger
It's probably the greatest DC game I've seen. #95baby #DC4L
That was a special year man !!!
.... yea. Been looking forward to this game.. rematch. #steelernation we won't let this happen again
Not only do I hate the steelers, I hate Antonio Brown, such a DIVA and a couple of rookies kicked their butt!! PRICELESS!!! 😂
That will approach the game like wolves , lions, sharks 🦈 or killer bee 🐝 aggressive attacking discipline focused pressure flying
If the cowboys had last years defense with this offense they would’ve won the superbowl. But such is life as a Cowboys fan.
Tyron Smith legit could have been in the mvp conversation that year. Dude was insane
Wow Ezekiel got washed up that quick but he's doing better than me in life smh mile high salute to him
The fake spike was so damn good! glad I got to watch this live
Until the Dallas cowboys get a mindset we're they haven't done anything for themselves and fans attitude

I miss prime Dak and Zeke🥺
The game where Dez Bryant decided to play and scored a touchdown the day after his father passed away.
