This game saw the emergence of Troy Hambrick, and Bill Parcells came out of the Meadowlands with more victories than his former employer as the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Jets.
Hambrick had his first huge game, getting a bulk of the workload with 24 carries for 127 yards. Joey Galloway also had a successful outing, grabbing five balls for 100 yards.
The Jets clearly looked out of their element for most of the game and appeared to get outcoached by the legendary Parcells.
Late in the game, trailing 17-6, Herman Edwards decided to go for it on fourth down and three and called a two-yard out play to Wayne Chrebet, who was immediately wrapped up well short of the first down marker.
