Cowboys offseason countdown: 99 facts until the regular season (Day 2)

We countdown the days to kickoff giving you an interesting fact about each number. Today is number 2

We are at day 2 of our 99 day countdown until the regular season. Here is your daily fact associated with number 2.

One of the toughest running plays ever pulled off by an NFL player went for only 2 yards, but it was one of the most memorable plays in Cowboys history.

In 2007, the Dallas Cowboys encountered the New England Patriots during Week 6 at the once-celebrated Texas Stadium. This matchup held significant importance for both teams, as they entered the week with unblemished records. The contest evolved into a high-scoring affair, with the lead shifting three times throughout the game. In the end, the Patriots emerged victorious with a score of 48-27, embarking on a remarkable season that culminated in a perfect 16-0 record.

Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Wes Welker, Tom Brady, and Tony Romo all delivered outstanding performances; however, none of their highlights could rival the display put forth by Marion Barber.

NFL: OCT 14 Patriots v Cowboys

The Cowboys found themselves positioned at their own 10-yard line, facing a challenging first-and-20. Exercising caution, a running play was initiated, with Romo turning to hand the ball to Barber. Almost immediately, Barber encountered Rodney Harrison, and it appeared the play would be halted before it could gain momentum. However, leveraging his strength and balance, Barber managed to remain upright and fend off the initial tackle, only to be confronted by a second defender, whom he also successfully evaded.

In an effort to create distance, Barber retreated into his own end zone, where he encountered an opposing defender. Demonstrating agility, Barber successfully evaded the defender and sprinted to his right in search of open space. A second defender attempted to bring him down, but Barber countered with a formidable stiff-arm, forcing the defender away.

As he continued to navigate across his end zone, Barber discovered additional space, eluding yet another tackle before setting his sights upfield. After dodging yet another would-be tackler, he advanced further until he was ultimately pushed out of bounds, concluding a remarkable sequence of events.

The play would be recorded as a two-yard gain; however, a total of nine defenders from the Patriots attempted to tackle Barber, missing three chances to secure a safety. This play exemplified the remarkable determination, power, and endurance of the formidable running back that was Marion Barber.
