I remember this game so well. My great friend and football teammate Rocket and I were manning a Salvation Army kettle on what was a cold day in Upstate NY (Buffalo) outside of a Hills Department store. I was a diehard Jets fan and he loved the Cowboys. We wore our respective jerseys under the red SA aprons and argued all day over out there and our fiery debate was the only thing keeping us warm! (Eventually some nice lady bought us a couple hot chocolates from the cafe inside.) We back to watch the game at my house where the Jets collapsed like usual and Rocket lorded it over me the rest of the night, just as he did anytime the Cowboys beat the Jets lol Years later he would enlist in the Marines and I'd join the Army and he'd say that I'd still picked the wrong team! Hahaha Rocket passed away in 2012 and that was one of the reasons I drifted away from the NFL. I miss my old friend and I hope I can see him again someday. What I would give to be ringing a bell and fighting with him about football teams outside of a department store again.

Great story!

I love watching these old movies of games from the ‘90s, when we were still winning Super Bowls. I realized after I watched a couple of full game films that Dallas wasn’t quite as dominant as I remembered. We had outstanding teams for sure but Troy threw an INT once in a while, once in a very, very great time Emmitt would fumble. And every great once-in-a-while, we got to see The Moose score a TD! But they were fantastic to watch, almost as much fun as the ‘70s were for us!

Remember this game so well. The crowd was mostly Cowboys fans. Nice win for the Cowboys.

The pursuit to the football by that defense incredible!

I remember this game, the coach of the Jets complained that the Cowboys did not lift off the gas from the pedal.

Jimmy never let off the gas. That's why he's got two SB rings and his team won a third. Those teams were super competitive along the depth chart because he made it that way. If your job isn't secured, you play hard every play you get.

One of those games. Never seen a Jimmy Johnson team with so many turnovers. That’s how good that team was where they can have that many turnovers and still win.

The Jets were not a good team in 1993, while the Cowboys were the best, on their way to repeat as Super Bowl champs. Skip Bayless predicted a Jets win in this game, and for some strange reason this man still gets paid well to talk about football on TV. He should be ignored by any serious football fan.

He’s no more of an expert than the average fan, he just has the advantage of having a national forum to express his opinion. Incidentally, the same holds true for Stephen A. Smith, and if I had a dollar for every time Mel Kiper was wrong, I could have retired 5 years earlier.

The Jets were pretty solid in 1993 and were 8-5 going into this game, but their last three were Dallas, at Buffalo and at Houston, which were probably 3 of the top 5 teams in the NFL that year. The Jets would lose all three and finish 8-8 and out of the playoffs, including a two-point loss in Buffalo where their kicker missed three makable field goals and the debacle in Houston where they were shut out by second and third stringers. They also blew several big leads earlier in the year- Philadelphia and at the L.A. Raiders were two stomach-turning losses that come to mind- so the point is they were a competitive, pretty talented team that beat some decent teams but folded when the lights came on. This was just a preview for 94 when they blew a huge lead at home in a battle for first place with Miami in the infamous "fake spike" game, then lost out to finish 6-10 which led to the encouraging hire of their savior Rich Kotite, coming off seven straight defeats himself as HC in Philadelphia. There's nothing like losing your last five games in what was at times a promising 94 season, then going out there and hiring the only guy in the world who'd been less successful. But yeah, the Jets weren't bad in 93.

You are correct. The Giants had already clinched a playoff spot mid December. In the middle of their penultimate game of the season out west against the dog-assed Phoenix Cardinals (as they were still known as at the time), they were scoreboard watching and saw the Cowboys were crushing the Redskins during the same 4pm EST timeslot they were playing, which meant that the end of year game against Dallas would be a winner take all for both the NFC East title and #1 seed in the NFC. Dan Reeves pulled all the starters at halftime and they logged a 17-6 loss. Haha! It almost worked out the following week! You don't see that type of "playoff position tanking" as much anymore!

Aikman is one of the best in NFL history. Troy was the ultimate leader who demanded the very best from the Cowboys' Organization. Since Aikman, Dallas has had QBs w/ great passing numbers but 0 Super Bowl rings and a handful of playoff wins in 21 seasons.

If the Cowboys didn’t play such a sloppy game and turned the ball over 5 times this would have been a much bigger blowout than 28-7. The Cowboys kept giving the Jets gift after gift with turnovers and pass interferences and yet, the Jets just couldn’t do anything with it.

makes me wonder what the NFL record is for most plays stopped inside the 3 yd line on one possession without a score? must have been 9 in this one with the 2 PI's giving the Jets 2 first downs. Also back then you didn't have to catch the ball, take it home and sleep with it for 3 days and bring it back before it's officially ruled a catch like in Dez Bryant's case.

6:48 eerily similar to the Dez Bryant play in 2014 Divisionals. Except this one went our way.

QB missed WR on errand 4th down both horrible throws

Brad Baxter is a disgrace all that dude did was fumble

Lol fuuummmbbbllleee.

At 9:29 to 9:33 of the video, Verne Lundquist shows his ignorance by saying "Michael Irving is great when Troy Fakeman plays" and nothing could be further from the truth. Fakeman missed a ton of games in his Career. In 1991 when he missed 7 games the cowboys were on a 7 game win streak with Steve Beuerlein throwing to Michael Irving who made the pro-bowl as an All-pro for the 1st time WITH FAKEMAN ON THE SIDELINES. Irving lead the league in receptions and yardage that year and in 1993 & 94 when backups had to play cuz Fakeman was injured. Michael Irving stayed open by 5 yards or more or shielded off 5'9" defenders with his 6'2" 210lb frame while Harper often had to jump 10ft in the air to catch Fakeman's retarded bombs. Fakeman was an average QB playing behind the best offensive line in NFL history...the best RB [statistically] in NFL history...the biggest WR tandem in the NFL during that time...the best blocking FB and receiving TE in the league...the #1 defense twice & #2 defense twice between 1992 & 1996 + the best Punt/Kickoff Coverage units in the league under Joe Avezzano who won Special Teams coach of the year TWICE. The cowboys also had the youngest team in the league 4 of the 5 years Jimmy Johnson was there with the most depth. Jimmy Smith never played behind Irving and Harper but free agency took him to Jacksonville where made pro-bowl for years and remains the greatest WR in their history. Kevin Gogan, Ron Stone et al were mostly backups in Dallas but became All-pro with Frisco and the Giants respectively. There were many others...but...the point is Fakeman elevated no one, was exceedingly average and Jimmy wanted to draft Deon Sanders in 89 but ol Jingle Bob...the owner...loved Fakeman and forced him to draft him. Nonetheless, Johnson used the overall #1 pick of the 1990 supplemental draft on QB Steve Walsh to push him...kept a former starting QB with pro-bowl credentials backing him up cuz he couldn't play a whole season. Also, Fakeman averaged 16 TD's and 11 INT's per year, threw over 20 TD's only ONCE in his entire career, could not throw accurately over 40yds...time management was beyond him...he was brittle as a peanut Pattie, tripping over his own feet and getting a sprained ankle...pulled up lame in several games...could not touch his toes at the 1989 Indianapolis scouting combine. Look, He did absolutely nothing Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer or anyone else didn't do: hand the ball off to a great running back, throw a bunch of 5 yd passes to Moose, 10 yd passes to Novacek,.behind the line passes to Emmitt and 15 yarders to a wide open Irving. Had truly great QB's like Dan Marino, Joe Montana or John Elway had the unbelievable teams Fakeman had, they would have won 5 or 6 Superbowls in a row and at least 10 total in their 17 yr careers. Those QB's routinely carried their teams. Fakeman carried nothing. Emmitt Smith and The OL carried the Dallas cowboys. They never nwon a single game he did not play in. The cowboys typically had 9 offensive players in the pro-bowl every year from 1992 to 1996 [4 OL, WR, TE, FB, RB, and Fakeman]. It's a joke really. The HOF is a joke...more of a popularity contest than on merit. And, Michael Irving's greatness transcended Fakeman and his limitations. He was big, tall, blonde, blue eyed, well spoken, intelligent, represented the franchise well before the media, was very professional on and off the field, threw tight spirals, great accuracy 25yds or less & stood strong in the pocket but he was mediocre from 1989 - 91, good from 1992 - 96 and average from 1997 to the end of his career. Never great. Irving was great whether Fakeman played or not.
