Pats losing at Miami in WK 17 two years ago, costing them HFA. Denver would eventually take advantage.

which led to this

48-Stephen Davis

Is it wrong to elevate a FB over a RB, becasue I was thinking about Moose Johnston here. Then again, Davis was better than I remembered, going to three Pro Bowls and 1st team all-pro one year.

Some say the jinx began with SB V, but the Colts had to wear their home whites that day. They weren't playing mind games or anything like that. The Rams and the Cardinals were the first to buy into the Dallas jinx in the 1970's, wearing white at home when they didn't have to.

I don't recall Dallas ever wearing blue @ Seattle, Minnesota, KC, Oakland, Cincy, Indy, Jax, Green Bay, Detroit, NYJ or Chicago. They did wear blue in a pre-season game at San Francisco in 1987.

Dallas: Jimmy Smith, Jim Zorn (though he would have been buried behind Staubach and White)

Lilly's 29 yard SB sack

Hmm. No mention of Emmitt's rushing record. You guys think it's vulnerable?

regarding Cook, any other examples of rookies whose first NFL start was a playoff game?

Aikman could have cleaned up in Houston's run-and-shoot or Buffalo's K-gun offense, but that was never asked of him in Dallas.
