I can't for the life of me remember the year maybe 1990 but we needed the cowboys to lose to some awful(detroit or atlanta come to mind) team to make the playoffs which they did.

I remember listening to the game on the radio at a uncle's house is the reason I recall...

ETA: Looked up the 1990 NFL schedule. Dallas lost to atlanta and finished 7-9... We played Monday night against the rams which makes sense for the play in for the playoffs since Dallas lost.

We needed Dallas to lose because the Saints lost to them 17-13 so they owned the tie breaker.

I have a very, very vague memory of a pissed Jimmy Johnson being interviewed after that Cowboys loss

What was the year NO won their first 7 games and still missed the playoffs?
