They had lost a close game to the Steelers last week on a controversial call and the AFC North title with it.
And the Cowboys upset the Ravens even more. Jerry Jones personally picked the Ravens to be the opponent on this day, assuming that they would be an easy game. The Cowboys were going all out, they were rolling out the banners from their five Super Bowl wins and another to honor Emmitt Smith being the NFLs' all-time rushing leader. Not to mention the fact that they had 100 former players and 12 Ring of Honor inductees present such as Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Bob Lilly, and Roger Staubach.
