  • This is one of the all-time great classic NFL games, and a classic rivalry game between the Cowboys and Redskins on September 5, 1983.
    This Monday Night Football opener rates up there with the 1999 Dallas at Washington opener and others when it comes to Dallas Cowboys comeback games. At this time, Redskins were the defending Super Bowl Champs. The Cowboys had won every opening game from 1965-1981 Although they did lose the 1982 opener the previous year, it looked as if they were going to lose another here in 1983.
    The Cowboys looked bad. They had one reception in the first half. They had one great play with a Tony Dorsett 77 yard run as this is more well-known for the Redskins Darryl Green catching up to Dorsett and making the tackle. It was 23-3 Redskins at the half. Even Frank Gifford said Landry has problems, and Howard Cosell said the team is in disarray. Fans started yelling, "we want Dallas, we want Dallas". Well, they got Dallas, but not as they had hoped.
    The two half's were like two completely different games, with the opposing team not showing up to play. In the 3rd quarter, QB Danny White connected with WR Tony Hill immediately for a 76 yard TD pass, then a short time later another TD for 51 yards. At that time, Frank Gifford says "the Redskins are starting to get nervous" By 2:25 left in the game, Dallas was ahead 31-23.
    Final result: Dallas 31 Washington 30.
    This is from ESPN. I wanted to post the full game as well but it has been blocked. :(
    For the record, the Cowboys started the season 7-0 and were eliminated in the playoffs and the Redskins did return to the Super Bowl but lost to the Raiders.
    Danny White was a fine QB, he had several great comeback games. Check out other comeback games:
    - 1981 Atlanta Falcons playoff game
    - 1982 vs Miami Dolphins
    - 1984 vs New Orleans Saints

    I remember watching this in the 8th grade! I was on a high all week with this comeback against the most hated rivals. Truly a great victory in cowboys history. I miss these good old days of great football. Danny White deserves more credit as an incredible athlete and leader replacing Staubach.

      We really needed to and should have won one of those games. Had we made it to the SB I've no doubt we would have won. An appearance and win in a SB would have changed things a lot for those guys who haven't gotten the recognition they deserved because they didn't.

      You mean Landry? THAT was when the Cowboys lost me. I was a Colt fan that switched to the Cowboys during the White-Dorsett era, after the Colts rolled out in the middle of the night. I’m from Md & the Skins fans were too much(lots were fairweather Colts fans that switched when Bal sucked & Wash was winning). I gained Dallas because they were the Wash nemesis-then Jones fired the great Landry. I felt it was disrespectful after all Tom did, so I dumped em. I’m back to Bal with the Ravens now, but if I have a second fav it’s probably Dallas, even though Jerry Jones is still there. Those classic games were the best though-especially those Cowboys/ Redskins games. Great times. I miss em…

    Way way back, in 1966, I saw the Cowboys win another 31-30 thriller over the Redskins at D. C. Stadium.
    In that game, the Cowboys raced out to 21-6 lead early in the 3rd quarter as Don Meredith threw 2 long bombs to Bob Hayes. The first was about 55 yards right before half time while the second was 95 yards that set a Cowboys record for longest passing TD in Cowboys history. The Cowboys won it on a short field goal by Danny Villanueva with about 5 seconds left. By the beginning of the '67 season I became an ardent Cowboys fan & would be until Jerry Jones fired Jimmy Johnson in March, 1994. Smooth move Jerry.

      I also went to bed at halftime that night depressed that the Skins were beating the pants off of the Cowboys. I was getting dressed for school the next morning for school and the heard the final score on the morning radio show. I was shocked. I wasn't able to see any highlights of the 2nd half until "Inside the NFL" (hosted by Len Dawson and Nick Bouniconti) came on later that week.
      1983 was the last great season Dallas had in the 80's. Dallas and Washington both started the season at 12-2. There was a big matchup in Dallas for in week 15. Dallas would have clinched the NFC East and probably had home field in the playoff that season with a victory. The Redskins blew them out in the 2nd half and ultimately advanced to the SB (where they were destroyed by the Raiders 38-9). The Cowboys only had one more playoff appearance (1985) and 2 winning seasons (1984-1985) for the rest of the decade.

      Tony Hill. Not even close. Harper proved he was a benefit of teams focusing on Irvin. Harper def had that big game threat no doubt. However he showed his true colors when he left for big money to go to Tampa. He embarrassed himself. He was awful. He was lazy and realized without defenses keying on the other WR, he was done. He actually did nothing on TB. He got caught with drugs etc. So Tony Hill is soooo much better career wise than Alvin Harper. Now to be fair, I'm grateful for Harper for those SB winning teams. He was the perfect offset WR in our Offense during that run.

    I watched that game, one of many Cowboys games in the early 80s that were just absolutely incredibly exciting to watch. Especially in 83 when they had to come back in the 2nd half from being down by double digits in a lot of those games.
    It fell apart for them in the final 2 weeks of the season as they would be defeated by the Deadskins and the FortyWiners who throttle Dallas in this games, Washington in the 2nd half of their match up on Dallas.
    83 was their last legitimate Super Bowl contending team under Tom Landry. They would ride through the rest of the 80s on a slowly steady sinking ship.
    I'll go into depth in my next post about why and how Darrell Green caught Tony Dorsett from behind...... and there is a reason other than the fact that Green was indeed faster than Dorsett. But there's another few factors that tie into why it happened

    And this was an "old school" season as the 'Cards were still in St. Louis.

      I wouldn't say he's my favorite QB. But, I do feel he is grossly underrated/unappreciated. He gets a lot of blame for the the 3 straight NFC title losses on the road from 1980-1982. The above video does a good job putting those defeats in proper perspective. Staubach had major advantage over Danny White in playoff games and it had nothing to do with their individual talent. You can't help but come away a different view on his playoff failure and his career in general.
