If some of the regular season games between the two teams have at times lacked for excitement that was not the case in their only playoff game.
In the year after the Seahawks advanced to their first Super Bowl they hosted the Cowboys and a young QB named Tony Romo, then in his third NFL season but having just taken over at mid-season for the first time as the starter, replacing Drew Bledsoe, in a wild-card playoff game.
In a taut affair that featured four lead changes, the Seahawks regained the advantage at 21-20 on a Matt Hasselbeck 37-yard pass to Jerramy Stevens with 4:24 left.
