the cowboy/steeler game was more exciting than you described it.  yes,
the cowboys did score two late touchdowns but they almost scored a third
and won the game.  tight end jackie smith dropped a 3 yard pass while
wide open in the end zone to lose the game for the 'boys. no game can
be more exciting than that.
