Did you know that this will be the 100th meeting between the Cowboys and Redskins?
The cold numbers say the Cowboys lead the series 58-39-2, although both playoff meetings were won by the Redskins.
The new 'Skins GM, Bruce Allen, grew up in the heat of the rivalry.
"The only one that's probably in that same class is Bears-Packers, just because it's forever," Bruce Allen said. "It's Cowboys and Indians. For so long, these franchises, every game is meaningful. It's a great rivalry for the NFL."
It's timely that the game comes less than two weeks after Allen was hired by the Redskins. After all, it was his father's scorn for stoic counterpart Tom Landry and the team from Texas that stoked a passion that still burns decades later.
