Dallas were starting their ascendancy from the NFL's doldrums under Jimmy Johnson and this win was a big
step for them. They held the Bucs to under 300 yards of total offense and used Emmitt Smith's 121 yards
rushing to control the clock in the second half. Broderick Thomas tied Lee Roy Selmon's team record with
three sacks in one game and Gary Anderson set a Buc record by scoring a TD in his fifth straight game.
