Throwback Thursday: Cowboys Avenge Embarrassing Loss; Roll Past Eagles

Exactly 20 years ago, the Cowboys were able to roll over their divisional rivals on the way to their fourth straight NFC Championship Game.

Beating the Eagles 30-11 in the NFC Divisional Playoff round not only set up a date with the Packers at Texas Stadium, but avenged a loss a few weeks back in Philly where the Cowboys were stuffed on two straight fourth-and-1 plays and lost to the Eagles 20-17 in a game referred to as “Load Left.”

However, the Cowboys had little problems moving the ball this time around as Emmitt Smith rushed for 99 yards and added 40 more receiving.
