description

The story of the NFL’s holiday season history in November simply can’t be told without mentioning Cowboys superstar Emmitt Smith. No. 1 in league history in rushing yards (1,178) and touchdowns (13) on this specific occasion, Smith arrived to Nov. 22, 1990’s matchup preferred to put that one-of-a-kind résumé on showcase during a late-game sequence against Washington. With Dallas clinging to a three-point lead in the final three-and-a-half-minutes, Smith vanquished his NFC East foes with a speedy, tackle-breaking 48-yard touchdown that sent shockwaves through the stadium. The end result thereafter was a 27-17 triumph, in which Smith starred through a 137-yard outburst (on 25 touches) and two touchdowns.
