Cowboys comebacks: Do you remember these other nail-biters?

Falcons Give It Away

Remember when we watched football with no fans, and it just did not feel right? That is how long ago this game was, but it feels like yesterday.

Back in September 2020, just a few months after COVID struck the world, I didn’t know if he would even see any sports that year.

This year, the Cowboys’ defense under Mike Nolan was just as bad if not worse than what we have seen most of the year thus far, and after the Falcons dropped 20 points in the first quarter, it looked all but over.

Let’s not forget Dallas had four fumbles in that game. Just like the comeback against the Bills, they had to overcome those turnovers.

After a 29-10 lead at halftime, the Cowboys started chipping away, and with three touchdown drives in the second half, and just like that game in 2007, they needed an onside kick to have any chance.

They would get that onside kick and win the game on a Greg the leg Zuerlien 46-yard field goal.

This was the year that Dak Prescott broke his ankle and the Cowboys would finish 6-and-10.

The Austin Davis Game

I am sure Austin Davis is a name that you have not heard in years, because neither had I until I looked at who was the quarterback of the Rams the last time the Dallas Cowboys came back from down 21.

In week three of the 2014 season, just like the game on Sunday, the Cowboys went down early 21-0, but the Rams were led by Austin Davis, who finished with 327 yards and three touchdowns.

After leading for three quarters, Davis felt the pressure and threw two interceptions in the 4th quarter that helped the Cowboys tie the largest comeback in franchise history when Romo found Terrance Williams for a 12-yard touchdown to take the lead late in the 4th.

This 2014 season is the one that I honestly thought the Cowboys would win the Super Bowl. They finished the year 12-and-4, beat the Lions in the Wild Card, but lost to the Packers in the game in which Dez Bryant did in fact catch that football.
