Cowboys-obsessed MNF promo was subject of Redskins' pregame speech
See if you can find a theme in this 30-second promo video (above) for the last night's Monday Night Football contest between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins at AT&T Field.
Not enough of Washington owner Daniel Snyder, right? Not quite, but it sure featured a whole lot of COWBOYS and pretty much nothing of their opponent, unless, as Dan Steinberg of the DC Sports Bog notes, the opposing Redskins players were chasing after Cowboys.
Well, the Kid Rock-soundtracked promo gave Washington's players something to be ticked off about.
Unequivocally, this season the Cowboys (6-2) objectively have been the better team to watch, but Washington (3-5) has a huge fan base, too. In fact, Washington is ranked third on Forbes' list of the most valuable NFL franchises, second only to the Patriots and 'dem Cowboys.
As always, players will take added motivation where they can find it.
That important tenet was reaffirmed in the Redskins' 20-17 overtime win, along with the universal principle that no means no.
