Dallas defense overpowered in 35-16 loss

By TIM COWLISHAW / The Dallas Morning News

WASHINGTON – The Cowboys were hoping to turn back the clock a year, to repeat the opening-night success they had enjoyed against Washington. That victory had set the stage for a Super Bowl season.

Instead, the Cowboys turned the clock back too far.

For the first time since 1989, when the Cowboys endured a 1-15 nightmare of a season, Dallas' defense gave up five touchdowns. One came at the close of a back-breaking 99-yard drive in the third quarter as Washington dominated Dallas, 35-16, before 56,345 fans at RFK Stadium.

The date here was Sept 7, 1993 and the Redskins whooped our ass.

But it was also the year Dallas went 12-4 and won thier second consecutive Super Bowl title.

Now granted this is not the Cowboys of the 90's. But after week one I am certainly not painting a picture of doom and gloom for the remaining 15 games.

Completely different situation. Emmit was holding out then, I think. Dallas knew they were going to be good. They were defending Super Bowl Champs. In short the jury was not still out on that team the way it is on this one. I know one thing. If I'm playing the Cowboys, I'm going after Jaques Reeeves all day long. I have a friend who is an expert on the Broncos and he keeps telling me that Wade Phillips will be the best thing that ever happened to....The Redskins.
