NFL Game of the Week

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles & Bengals at Redskins, 1979 (15x9)

: 15, 1979

One month earlier, the Eagles had overturned the Cowboys at Texas Stadium. Now, on December 8, both sought first place in the NFC East. Luck, fate, and bizarre bounces all seemed to aid the Cowboys. The biggest bounce lifted Dallas to a 24-17 win, keeping Philadelphia out of contention for the NFC East title.
