Before this game, the Eagles had gone 1-23-1 in their last 25 road games. This put an end to all that, and signified the beginning of a new era of prosperity.
This started a 5 year stretch of the Eagles owning Dallas. They won 9 of 10 and 7 of the wins were blowouts. That felt good for Eagles fans after watching the Cowboys win 3 Super Bowls and destroy their team on an annual basis. Heading into the 2021 season, each team has won 27 games a piece since the infamous 4th and 1 stop at Veterans Stadium in 1995. The Eagles and Cowboys have split their season series in 7 of the last 8 years, with the only sweep being by Dallas in 2018. Only the Cowboys OT victory at Jerry World separates these teams head to head since 2013.
This was the hottest game in NFL history (109 degrees) and since pretty much every potential candidate to break this record has a stadium with a roof now, it might never be broken.
Ah yes the infamous Pickle Juice game. Duce Staley was a MONSTER during that game. Unfortunately it might've been too much as his production fell off a cliff after this game and then he got a season ending injury in the 5th game of the year. BTW whatever happened to DJ Johnson? He was the regular sideline reporter for Summerall and Madden at that time and he was pretty good at it too.
Was out there it was sooooo fkn hot man i was a kid. The tail gating was krazzzy thn we watched fkn deuce staley just slaughtered the d. My first nfl game 😆 😆
2000: The year everything came apart for the Cowboys & started 3 consecutive seasons of 5-11 (oddly enough, 5/15 wins during those 3 years came against the [FOOTBALL TEAM]) I was a junior in high school and the heat was so bad in DFW that we had to move kickoff of our games to after sundown
@5:12: "I pointed out to Troy Aikman that in the middle of the field the temperature is 175 degrees" Assuming he meant it in Fahrenheit, this seems just way too high. In Celsius it's almost 80 degress which is roughly double of what the temperature is on the hottest days on a hotter-than-usual summer...
This is the game that turned the Eagles franchise around. They Cowboys were the better team in the 90's and had out right owned them with 3 Super Bowls and 2 of them coming against the Eagles in the playoffs. The Eagles had come off a 5-11 season with Andy Reid and new QB Donovan McNabb. The Cowboys were 8-8 the year before and had lost against the Vikings in the playoffs. Well, this game shocked the Cowboys so much that they never really recovered up until the late 00's in the rivalry. The Eagles going with the onside kick, getting a pick 6. Knocking Aikman out of the game. The Eagles showed the NFL that day they were going to be a force to be dealt with. The Cowboys just slipped into mediocrity and many of their weapons had retired or were going to be gone soon. Aikman after a concussion against the Redskins and other players like Erik Williams, Leon Lett, etc gone after the season. The Cowboys declined and the Eagles rose up and this the game that essentially was the changing of the guard.
I'd forgotten how sad Summerall sounded whenever the Eagles do well, and how happy he was for whenever the Ft. Worth area team showed signs of life. What a great game!
So apparent how Philly needed receivers, or at least a legit #1, and they never really got it. They got Owen's for a small stretch and DJax after that Oline and dominant defense weren't really as good as they were now. This team had a large championship window and pretty much squandered it, not counting the 1 year they had TO and went to the dance.
The NFL today is soft as hell! They took away the ability to play real defense. Jim Johnson was bring the blitz ALL DAY LONG! 😂 I use to love when we got to play a rookie QB during that Jim Johnson era 😂 because I knew, even if it’s one of those games where McNabb & the offense falls flat after the first scripted drive, and we keep settling for a David Akers 30-50 yard FG, I knew we would be fine that day because Jim Johnson was gonna be sending the blitz on every play vs a Rookie QB, giving him a true introduction to NFL football (😂 go look up the highlights of Eli Manning in rookie year vs the eagles.. Jim Johnson baptized Eli Manning into the NFL, Eli will always have my respect because he was a genuine tough QB that could take a big hit in the pocket and still make the throw)
Aikman was one of the best QBs to play in NFL history. He used to walk all over Filthy, Green Bay, and San Francisco and outplay all the regular season stat collecting QBs.
Oh, man.
‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ playing during the opening game notes. THAT’S when you know this classic NFL matchup is from 2000.
Haha right or the kid rock playing at the beginning

Pickle juice was all over Philly after this game. Pickle backs too. nothing but love for duce.

As an Eagles fan, I miss Dave Campo so much haha
Great rivalry as a dallas fan
The Duce was a vastly underrated power back for the eagles back in the early McNabb/Reid days
he was one of the best screen running backs too.
This was the hottest game in NFL history (109 degrees) and since pretty much every potential candidate to break this record has a stadium with a roof now, it might never be broken.
Duce is one of my favorite Eagles. Good childhood memories.
The James thrash , Chad lewis , bobby Taylor and Jermaine Mayberry era for those who remember those solid players on those early Andy Reid teams
Duce Staley had more carries in the first 67 seconds of this game than Miles Sanders had all night tonight.

I remember Duce being elite- but this game is outrageous! He is trucking people. He is hitting every hole. Can do no wrong.
Best game of his career?
This game is where NFC East dominance shifted from the 1990s Cowboys to the 2000s Eagles.
These were some dark days for Dallas 98-05
The salt is the secret ingredient in the juice that prevented the cramping :)
And thus began the final year of Troy Aikman in the NFL
Weird seeing Cunningham In a cowboys uniform lmao
Ik Cunningham was in the Ravens but I barely saw him
Ah yes. I enjoyed LaVarr Arrington crushing him, his spirit, and his team.
@rockymvvrcianu6846 Troy is a hall of fame legend and lavar isn't even liked by Washington fans. Loser. Show some respect

now he is on real deal former player led coaching staff with dan the man Campbell
The coming out party for the Andy Reid Eagles era.
RIP Jim Johnson. What a defense. Wouldn’t be allowed to exist in this era of the NFL.
i think jim Johnson is as good as belicheck
The hottest nfl game ever

Kickoff temperature was 109, the field was probably like 50 degrees higher
Eagles had lost 9 of their last 10 games at Texas Stadium before Pickle Juice became a thing
No one would have known pickle juice would be so useful.
I can't imagine how sizzling that field turf was.
cant fucking imagine lol
@@christianmoreno3585 glory days of nfl
It was probably 10-20 degrees hotter, especially once you got into the part of Texas Stadium that had the hole in the roof
IIRC, it got up to about 130° on that turf. People tend to forget how much worse turf was then in comparison to now.
You know it's going to be a great game when Pat Summerall and John Madden are on the call.

Duce was awesome! Can you guys do the 44-6 game in 2008 between the eagles and cowboys? That'd be awesome 😭
andy reid should've started the playoff game against the giants with an onside kick later that season
Jason sehorn game
How ironic.... Damn near the identical score in the 4th tonight but vice versa.... Lol!
war eagle 🦅!
The early 2000s Cowboys were just plain bad, and the fact that they didn’t even try to get successors to the triplets is just embarrassing
Joey Galloway didn't cut it
Glad this one finally got uploaded!!!!!
The Dave Campo Era. Lmao
who returned as assistant
the glory days...
Duce Staley was a beast i wonder was good enough to be in the HOF?
Donavon Mcnabb was a underrated Eagles QB despite getting hella shit for choking in the super bowl
He was top 5 from 2000 to 09
Cowboys = Mercedes Benz
Eagles = BMW
How's that working out for you tonight ? Lmao!!!!😂
@@1986-r2c what do you mean?
@@1986-r2c I'm confused on this one

Now, upload the one where onside kick happens!
If I didn't know any better I'd think the NFL didn't exist before the year 2000.
💥💥 I remember this game like it was yesterday the pickle juice game.
And Ofc Dawkins was wearing long sleeves. Straight psycho 😂
It was a 120 degrees on the field at Texas Stadium that day. Yikes.
Ah isn't this the Campo years. No QB, no effort and no decent coaching lol

The Eagles never utilized the RBs so often like in this game, during the 41-21 loss to Dallas. Poor coaching by them

Dallas Cowboys Greatest Team of The Early 90s Dynasty 🏈

That Eagles team of the early 00s should have won 1 Super Bowl.
Nowadays they would postpone the start time until 8:00PM for player and fan safety reasons - no way would today's NFL play a game in these conditions.
Randall playing for Dallas just bad man

O.G. Madden commentary....... love!
Love that cowboys sideline was the one in the sun 😂
Damn Dallas couldn’t block anybody in this game
Jim Johnson defense
The 🥒 🧃 game? Oh my God 😱!!!
If troy aikman didn't have concussions he would have played till 2002 or 2003
Kinda miss that old carpet style astro turf. Go Birds!!!
Seeing as the Lions hosted the Ravens this past week, I'd love to see the 2005 matchup when Baltimore just got crazy penalty after penalty.
I remember this game. Watched it at my friends house. Got really drunk.
That's the end of the first half and it's 24 to nothing....6 get no love

Its actually true tho i work in construction..in august days that are 90+ working in blacktop pickle juice does hydrate u..its a fact
I didn't know Cunningham played for the Cowboys as well!?
I forgot Randall played for the Cowboys
The beginning of one of the best Era's of Eagles ball. Miss these days.
Randall Cunningham should have started the game! I think Dallas has a chance if Cunningham starts
He started for Dallas later that year in Philadelphia, I believe.
What's a pickle back?
Go Birds!
Weird seeing Randall as a cowboy
Summerall sounds drunk.
I was 4 years old when this game was played and I wasn't into football yet well not invested anyway.
200 degrees?
It's crazy that they were actually running the ball. That's unheard of for Philly
Wasn’t it 113 that day
And then the Sheagles got throttled by the G-men the following week.
could this announcer be any less enthusiastic
Dallas just ran out of time. This game goes another 2 minutes and they had it wrapped. Eagles didn't win this game, the clock won it.
LOL
Ayyyy

I do not care how many rings Troy Aikman has. He was incredibly overrated. Capable of being an absolute bum sometimes.
