    Maybe 1995, the game against Dallas when John Madden said “they deserve to lose.”

    For those who don’t know the story: Dallas was running out the clock with a 1pt lead, maybe 1 minute left or less. 4th and 1 from their own 20 or 25. They decide to go for it! Emmett Smith up the middle, and the Eagles stuffed him for no gain! Eagles ball! Then the officials decided a time out had been called - no play. So the Cowboys think about it some more… and still decide to go for it!!! John Madden had a conniption. “What??? No! They’re going for it again?? Oh my God! They deserve to lose!” So the Cowboys go for it again. And they ran the EXACT SAME PLAY!! And the Eagles stuffed it AGAIN!!! Next play the Eagles kicked a FG to win the game. You really had to see it to believe it.
