A leading candidate would be the Washington-Dallas game on December 16, 1979 at Texas Stadium, in which the Cowboys scored two touchdowns in the final two minutes to pull off a 35-34 comeback victory.
Here are some other reasons why the game was so memorable:
1. It was Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach's last regular-season game at Texas Stadium. He announced his retirement three months later.

2. The Cowboys played without star running back Tony Dorsett, who had a mild shoulder injury.

3. Not only did the win give the Cowboys the NFC East title and a playoff berth, it also denied Washington the division championship.

4. After the game, Dallas defensive end Harvey Martin, accompanied by a CBS Sports cameraman, walked over to the Washington locker room and threw a funeral wreath inside.

5. Washington wound up missing the playoffs because the Chicago Bears beat the St. Louis Cardinals 42-6. The Bears needed to win the game by thirtysomething points to clinch the only NFC wild card spot. After that happened, Washington players swore that the Cardinals had deliberately laid down so the Redskins would be eliminated from playoff contention.
