We’re halfway there and Jimmy Johnson’s two Super Bowl teams are starting to put it together.  Here’s how week three played out:

• 1993 Dallas Cowboys  19
• 1971 Dallas Cowboys  17

While the ‘71 Defense was able to finally slow ‘93 Emmitt Smith down, their tandem of Garrison and Thomas couldn’t score when they needed to.  Both ‘71 Staubach and ‘93 Aikman were average at best; certainly not putting up Hall of Fame numbers (as has been the theme thus far).  ‘93 Murray’s four second half field goals proved to be the difference as ‘71 Alworth’s touchdown with 20 seconds left wasn’t enough.

• 1992 Dallas Cowboys  30
• 1995 Dallas Cowboys  23

Jumping out to a 20-0 lead, Johnson’s squad was ready to play while Switzer’s bunch came out slow (”We did it, we did it”).  Emmitt Smith once again dominated the game… both of them.  Combining for 348 yards the two backs put on a show.  But the initial lead was too much for even another outstanding performance from ‘95 Micheal Irvin to overcome (7 catches for 130 yards) and the ‘95 Cowboys we’re handed their second straight loss.

Standings after Week Three:

• 1992 Dallas Cowboys  3-0
• 1993 Dallas Cowboys  2-1
• 1971 Dallas Cowboys  1-1
• 1977 Dallas Cowboys  0-2
• 1995 Dallas Cowboys  0-2
