Emmitt Smith was a monster this Monday Night. Full tickets for MNF games are a bit tougher than Sunday games because, well, who misses Monday Night Football?
Here is an excellent account of the game from AP:
"Emmitt Smith gives the Philadelphia Eagles fits in the fourth quarter.
His 57-yard run in the fourth period, reminiscent of a 62-yard backbreaker against Philadelphia earlier this year, carried the Dallas Cowboys to a 23-17 victory over the Eagles on Monday night.
The defending champions moved a game behind the New York Giants in the NFC East with an 8-4 record while Philadelphia fell to 5-7.
Smith, who gained 172 yards on 23 carries, broke loose for 57 yards to the Eagles 16. Five plays later fullback Daryl Johnston scored the clinching touchdown on a 2-yard run with 9:16 to play.
"It was the right play at the right time," Smith said. "They had me in check until the big run. We were struggling big time.
"Mark McMillian caught me from behind. I thought I was going to score. It was like the road runner running up alongside the coyote."
On Halloween, Smith scored on a 62-yard run in the fourth period to cap a club-record rushing performance of 237 yards in a 23-10 victory over the Eagles.
"It is kind of ironic," Smith said. "Philadelphia has had a lot of injuries but they still play tough. Before the big run, we kept saying we had to get things rolling and the play opened up."
The Cowboys had lost their previous two games, and coach Jimmy Johnson was relieved to have put the losing streak to rest.
"It was satisfying because the Eagles always play us tough," he said. "It's a big deal to beat them twice in a single year. We haven't done it in a longtime. They've always had our number."
Johnson said Smith "always comes up with the big plays when you need them. That's what makes a great player."
Philadelphia coach Rich Kotite agreed.
"Emmitt puts pressure on you everytime he touches the ball," he said. "He's a great player. We just have trouble stopping him."
And now the playoffs become that much more difficult for the Eagles.
"We're going to have to get some help in the division to make the playoffs," Kotite said. "This is really disappointing."
Early in the third period, the Eagles cashed a Troy Aikman fumble into a 2-yard TD pass from Bubby Brister to tight end Mark Bavaro, cutting the Dallas lead to 16-10. Bavaro also caught an touchdown from Brister with 3:46 left."
