description

Known admiringly as the Nigerian Nightmare, star Chiefs running back Christian Okoye was certainly the stuff of bad dreams for the Cowboys defense in this matchup during the 1989 NFL Season. Carrying the rock a total of 33 times in this one, Okoye bludgeoned the Dallas defense to the tune of 170 rushing yards, scoring two first quarter touchdowns as Kansas City defeated the Cowboys, 36-28, on Oct. 22, 1989.
