Yeah, you could really see them turning the corner that year. Winning at Philly in WK 15 was a big step in the maturation process. Funny how we should have swept the eventual SB champion Skins that year, but got drubbed by the Lions twice.
1990 had some nice moments as well, like the come-from-behind victory at LA and beating the Skins on Thanksgiving.

That 90 rams game is the game laufenberg has been talking about forever, its his claim and mike fisher in his book about the cowboys that aikman the night before was ready to storm into jimmys room and demand a trade and request not to play. He kept hearing from other coaches that jimmy was bashing him in meetings and thought he was a problem and wasnt getting better!
then he goes out and as laufenberg has told it many times has the game that changed his career and started a 4 game winning streak.
that 91 week 2 monday night game, our first since I think 86 or so against washington is another all timer. Emmitt smith drank a new powerade style drink he was supposed to promote at halftime and got really sick...I guess he couldnt stop puking....he was incredible in that game early.....had that amazing run where he spun and shook like 6 tackles on a 70 yd td........if he hadnt been sick we might have won that game against them too.
we just didnt have the pass defense to get into scoring duels in the silverdome in 91. Incredible season though....
