We’re now at Day 60 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff, when we revisit one of the most memorable Cowboys-Eagles games of the Tony Romo era. The 2007 Cowboys went into Philadelphia at 6-1, already looking like one of the NFC’s best teams under first-year head coach Wade Phillips. The Eagles were 3-4 and trying to keep their season from sliding away, but Dallas turned Sunday Night Football into a rivalry statement. This game is known by Cowboys fans, as the “no-helmet catch”. Dallas set the tone early. Julius Jones scored from two yards out on the opening possession, and after Brian Westbrook answered with a touchdown for Philadelphia, Romo put the Cowboys back in front with a one-yard touchdown pass to Tony Curtis. Late in the second quarter, Marion Barber powered in from five yards out, giving Dallas a 21-7 halftime lead and putting the Eagles in chase mode. The Cowboys broke the game open right after halftime. Romo found Terrell Owens for a 45-yard touchdown less than three minutes into the third quarter, stretching the lead to 28-7. Philadelphia added a David Akers field goal, but Dallas answered again when Romo hit Witten for a 20-yard touchdown. By the time Nick Folk added a fourth-quarter field goal, the Cowboys were up 38-10 and the road rout was complete. But the play everyone remembers was not even a touchdown. Romo found Witten over the middle, and after contact with two Eagles defenders, Witten’s helmet came off. He did not stop. He kept running, helmetless, through traffic and down the field for a 53-yard reception. Dallas’ official site later described it as the play this game will always be remembered for, noting that Witten did most of the 53-yard gain without his helmet and that the catch helped set up another Cowboys touchdown. This game belongs on the countdown because it was huge game in the national stage, a road beatdown, a star receiver torching his former team, Romo dealing punishment, and Witten producing a toughness highlight that became part of his career mythology. The run by Witten was so legendary, that a huge photo of him running without his helmet can found in the main hallway at The Star in Frisco. Under current NFL rules, Witten’s run would not be allowed to continue. The league changed the rule thanks to Witten’s no-helmet run, so that if a ball carrier’s helmet comes off during a play, the ball is immediately blown dead.

We welcome you to Day 88 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff, where we revisit one of the best regular-season wins of the Tony Romo era. The Cowboys went into the Louisiana Superdome as an 8-5 team under pressure, facing a 13-0 Saints team that looked unstoppable. Dallas had lost two straight games, the December narrative was closing in again, and New Orleans was chasing a perfect season. Instead, the Cowboys walked into one of the loudest buildings in football and handed the eventual Super Bowl champions their first loss of the year. Dallas made its statement immediately. Romo hit Miles Austin for a 49-yard touchdown less than four minutes into the game, and Marion Barber followed with a three-yard touchdown run to give the Cowboys a 14-0 first-quarter lead. The Saints managed only a Garrett Hartley field goal in the second quarter, while Nick Folk added a 44-yarder just before halftime to put Dallas ahead 17-3. The Cowboys kept leaning on New Orleans in the third quarter. Barber finished a long drive with a two-yard touchdown run, stretching the lead to 24-3 and putting the Saints in unfamiliar territory. Sean Payton’s team was explosive enough to rally, and it finally started to do that in the fourth quarter. Mike Bell scored from one yard out, then Drew Brees found Lance Moore for a seven-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 24-17 with eight minutes remaining. That set up the play everyone remembers. New Orleans got the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead, but DeMarcus Ware , playing just six days after being carted off with a scary neck injury, delivered the finishing blow. Ware sacked and stripped Brees, Jay Ratliff recovered with six seconds left, and Dallas escaped with a 24-17 upset that ended the Saints’ perfect season. Romo was excellent, completing 22 of 34 passes for 312 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. Austin caught seven passes for 139 yards and the opening score, while Barber added two rushing touchdowns. Dallas also controlled the game physically, winning time of possession 36:26 to 23:34, and converting eight of 15 third downs while holding the Saints to one from seven. This game belongs on the countdown because it was a true measuring-stick win. The Cowboys did not just beat a good team, they beat an unbeaten one, on the road, in prime time, with their season under pressure. It helped Dallas launch a late-season run that ended with an NFC East title and the franchise’s first playoff win since 1996. For one December night in New Orleans, the Cowboys looked tough, balanced, fearless, and fully capable of beating anyone. And the fans at the time felt it. The Cowboys had not beaten the Saints in 15 years before this game, making the upset even more satisfying. Their previous win over New Orleans came in December, 1994.

Cam Skattebo’s strong rookie season for the New York Giants came to an early end, as the running back suffered a brutal right leg injury in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles . Despite playing less than half the season, Skattebo ran for for 410 yards and five touchdowns on 101 rushing attempts. Now he has his sights set higher for his second season. Much higher. “I do not consider that successful for me,” Skattebo said at a team town hall event on Monday night . “I had 400 yards on 100 carries. When I play 17-plus games this year, it’s going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards.” While that lofty goal drew hearty applause from the Giants fans in attendance at the Beacon Theatre, it would be one of the greatest seasons from a running back in NFL history. Only nine running backs have eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark, most recently former Giant Saquon Barkley , who accomplished the feat with the Eagles during the 2024 season. Eric Dickerson remains the single-season rushing record, when he ran for 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams during the 1984 campaign. No Giants running back has ever broken the 2,000-yard mark. Tiki Barber remains the Giants’ single-season rushing leader , with 1,860 yards set back in 2005. But first, Skattebo will need to get back to the field. The second-year running back indicated on Monday night that he was well on track to do just that. “Obviously there’s ups and downs in the injury process and coming back and rehabbing, but the mental battle has been the hardest part: making sure that I trust it fully,” Skattebo said. “I’m a little ways out. Not too far, but I’ll be ready to go. Week 1, I’ll be ready to go.” Once he’s back, he’ll have a bigger goal in mind it seems
Cam Skattebo insists he will be " ready to go " Week 1 as he continues his rehab from a gruesome leg injury. That is good news for the Giants as the running back had 125 carries for 617 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. Skattebo has much bigger goals for his second season. "I do not consider that successful for me," Skattebo said of his rookie season, via Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. "I had 400 yards on 100 carries. When I play 17-plus games this year, it's going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards ." Nine running backs have had a 2,000-yard season, the most recent coming by Saquon Barkley in 2024. Eric Dickerson owns the NFL record with his 2,105 rushing yards in 1984. Tiki Barber holds the Giants team record with 1,860 rushing yards in 2005
