This Sunday, the Washington Redskins will make their (likely) final trip to Texas Stadium. The Dallas Cowboys will be entering new digs next year.
The Cowboys-Redskins rivalries are one of the best in sports and Texas Stadium has served as a prime backdrop during the rivalry.
Who could forget the Thanksgiving Day game back in 1974 when Clint Longley came in for an injured Roger Staubach and rallied the Cowboys to a 24-23 win? Longley threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Drew Pearson with just :28 remaining.
There was the season finale in 1979 when Dallas and Washington were playing for the NFC East division crown. This time, it was Staubach leading Dallas to a wild fourth-quarter comeback and downed the Redskins, 35-34. Before that game, Cowboys defensive end Harvey Martin received a funeral wreath (which was allegedly sent by the Redskins). After the game, Martin stormed into the Redskins locker room and threw the wreath back at them.
