Luck changes for Gibbs' team on wild night in Dallas�-�Sports�-�The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

I found it unbelievable. How many times in the past 10 years have the Skins been up in the waning moments of the game and then have it slip through their fingers with stupid plays and maybe questionable calls that aid the other team? It seems countless. The Skins always seemed to be the ones caught with their pants down in the end -- especially losing to a guy like Bill Parcells, who basically owns Joe Gibbs.

This time, however, the situation was inexplicably reversed. The Skins pulled a handful of wild plays out of their hat and the Boys were the ones looking bewildered and downtrodden at the end. How beautiful to see Jerry Jones and Parcells look tormented and depressed that way. How wonderful that it happened the night the Triplets were inducted into the Ring of Honor. How perfect it was to do it in such dramatic fashion and shock all of Dallas. So often the Skins had been on the wrong side of the equation, with the most recent loss to Dallas, courtesy of Crayton and Sean Taylor as a prime example. Not to say that the Skins really look good as a team because the offense obviously still has major issues. Allowing five sacks is inexcusable and being -5 in turnover ratio is horrible. But at least this time, for one night, the Skins pulled it off. Glorious.
