Redskins' Santana Moss on Cowboys: 'Without that star, it's almost like it ain't football'
4:55 PM on Thu., Sep. 22, 2011 | Permalink
Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss, who has had his share of big days against the Cowboys in recent years, told Mike Jones of the Washington Post that the most important part of Monday night's showdown with the Cowboys is to get a win over an NFC East team.
"Dallas is Dallas. We see them twice a year," Moss said. "You get up for them the first time and get up for them a little more the second time. That's how this division is, regardless of if it's Dallas or whoever it is, it's a big game."
Yet, Moss understands what playing Dallas means in Washington D.C. In fact, as a Cowboys fan growing up himself, he can't put the significance of the rivalry aside.
"We know what Dallas means to everybody else in the world, because without that star, it's almost like it ain't football," Moss said. "But Dallas has been one of those teams I watched as a kid. I've always been a fan of them, so when it's time to play them and share that stage with them, something a little more extra comes out of you. You don't really know what it is, but it is."
