While many are already looking ahead to 2022 free agency, the draft, and more, the NFL Network isn’t quite done with the previous season. They just released their list of the top-10 plays from the Dallas Cowboys in 2021.
The list is an even mix of offensive and defensive plays and features many of the top stars; Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, and others.

There’s plenty of room for debate on the NFL’s ordering of these ten plays and perhaps their exclusion of others. Cooper Rush’s game-winning touchdown pass to Amari Cooper, only 10th on the NFL Network’s list, was arguably far more impactful and memorable than some which came in losses.
That Vikings game featured some other huge plays like Rush’s 73-yard bomb to Cedrick Wilson or Cooper’s circus catch during the final drive. Or how about that gorgeous 35-yard trick pass from Wilson to CeeDee Lamb?
Some other big plays in 2021 that didn’t make the NFL’s cut:
- Greg Zuerlein’s 56-yard game winner vs Chargers
- Luke Gifford’s blocked punt and recovery vs Patriots
- Carlos Watkins’ pick-six vs Saints
- Terence Steele’s TD catch vs Commanders
- Randy Gregory’s interception vs Commanders
