This was the famous game Grimm changed Gibbs playcalls in the huddle near the end of the game to run right at HOF'er Randy White and run out the clock.
We do not have that physical play anymore.
Notice in the background the home made banners and painted bed sheets that Jack Kent Cooke allowed fans to bring to the games back them.

Yeah, I think this was my favorite game from the entire era. The Super Bowl victories were all fantastic and unforgettable, but this was not only the game that earned us our first SB visit of the Gibbs I era, it also came with a "I can't believe it!" feeling. Entering that season, the Cowboys had won the NFC East the previous six years in a row and had made it to the NFC Championship game the previous two. They were the only team to beat us during the regular season, and it was their fifth consecutive victory over us. As badly as I wanted the win, I really wasn't expecting it. That made Grant's touchdown quite possibly my favorite moment of all of the years I've rooted for the team.

And how great is it to watch replays featuring the Redskins at RFK with Pat Summerall announcing the game?
