Friday marks the nine-year anniversary of the Cowboys’ 2007 loss to the New York Giants in the divisional round. It is a game that still haunts Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
The Cowboys blew their best chance for a Super Bowl victory since the 1990s in a 21-17 loss. The Giants went on to win the Super Bowl.
The Cowboys have home-field advantage this year for the first time since that ’07 season. The Giants, though, lost to the Packers in Green Bay this time, so the Packers are coming to town in the divisional round.
“We all look at things from many perspectives really but look at what we missed when we didn’t take advantage of our opportunity in ’07,” Jones said on his weekly radio show on 105.
