Week 2 Cowboys-Giants tilt is elimination game – K.D. Drummond, Cowboys WireHere’s another take on why the Giants game is rather close to a real must-win.
The 1993 Cowboys are a great example of a team which overcame an 0-2 start. Star running back and Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith held out at the beginning of the season, but got a new contract and Dallas went on to win a Super Bowl.
In fact, there have been three teams since 1990 who have started 0-2 and won the Lombardi that year, the last of which were the 2007 New York Giants.
