The visiting Cardinals came into this matchup undefeated, which included a 31-28 win over the Cowboys just three weeks earlier.

This was significant because of what happened afterwards. So bad were the Cowboys in their first appearance on Monday Night Football that fans began chanting for Don Meredith to come out of the TV booth. Embarrassed, the Dallas defense vowed never again and proceeded to dominate in seven straight wins to reach the Super Bowl.

The Cardinals were up 21-3 at one point, thanks to not one but two pick-sixes. However, the Cowboys battled back, taking the lead on a Miles Austin touchdown with 1:41 left in the game. Unfortunately, Dallas missed the extra-point, and sure enough, Arizona took advantage, kicking a field goal with five seconds remaining to win it.

5. Cowboys vs. Cardinals • Oct. 5, 2003 • Texas Stadium • W, 24-7

Now with the Cardinals, this marked the return of Emmitt Smith, who admitted breaking down in tears before the game. The rest of the day wasn't much better for the former Cowboys great.

The Cardinals had a respectable 290 yards of total offense … and the Cowboys nearly doubled their output, racking up 578 yards, the third-most in franchise history. Remarkably, while 250 of that total came on the ground, not one player surpassed 100 yards. Four different rushers earned at least 30 with Calvin Hill's 84 leading the way.

Dallas would win this one in overtime after the two teams combined for 58 second-half points, which is still a team record. The real highlight came when rookie Thomas Henderson (a linebacker!) returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown and then slam-dunked the ball over the goalpost, the first in NFL history to ever do so.
