Miracle at Philadelphia

What an unbelievable game between the Cowboys and the Eagles. It was the Washington / Dallas game all over again, only this time the Cowboys won as the Redskins did earlier this season. Philadelphia totally dominated Dallas for nearly the whole game. They controlled the line of scrimmage on both offense and defense. Dallas' play was lack-luster and they didn't seem to care whether they won or lost the game. I was all set to complain that Purcells did not have his team ready to play.

However, with about 5 minutes left, the Dallas offense began to show some life. Keyshawn caught a key pass across the middle of the field, Barber ran 20 yards on a draw play, and Terry Glenn caught a beautiful touchdown pass to pull Dallas within 6 points.

The next series is when the miracle actually happened. Philadelphia, which had run the ball well all evening, tried to pass the ball on an out pattern from their own 35 yard line. McNabb threw the ball right into Roy Williams' arms and Williams returned it for a touchdown. It was an unbelievable call from the Eagles, and there had to be a mix-up on the passing pattern.

Never the less, it was a great Cowboy victory. This game will go down as one of the great finishes in the history of Cowboy football.
