Dear Mean Joe Greene and Swann,
The Cowboys were not yet known as America's Team when you played them twice in the Seventies, so stop pretending you used that as extra motivation to beat them. :rolleyes
What did you want them to do? Go for it on 4th? The real problem is that McCarthy didn't call a timeout when the clock was ticking down and it was clear that the o-linemen weren't close to being set. As a result, the kick felt rushed.
