Throwback Thursday: Ken Houston's Game Saving Tackle In 1973

For today's Throwback Thursday moment presented by Subway

The Washington Redskins Week 13 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys will mark the 17th time the two NFC East rivals have faced off on Monday Night Football.

While there have been some truly great moments -- Santana Moss’ two touchdown in 2005 and last season’s overtime victory, among others – the play Ken Houston made in their first Monday Night Football matchup on Oct. 8, 1973, may have been the best.

The Redskins would win the game 14-7 thanks to Houston making a game-saving tackle with no time left.
