The Cowboys–Redskins rivalry is a sports rivalry between two of the most storied professional American football teams in the National Football League (NFL), the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins. Sports Illustrated has called it the top NFL rivalry of all time and "one of the greatest in sports" [1]. The two clubs have won 31 combined NFC Eastern Division championships and eight combined Super Bowls.
The rivalry started in 1960 when the Cowboys joined the league as an expansion team. During that year they were in separate conferences, but played once during the season. In 1961, Dallas was placed in the same division as the Redskins, and from that point on, they have played each other twice during every regular season.
The Cowboys-Redskins rivalry dates back to 1960, but things didn't heat up until 1971, when Washington hired George Allen as head coach. During the 1972 season, Allen's Redskins met Dallas three times en route to a date with the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VII.

For some reason the Cowboys do no longer play besides against the Redskins in the final 4 years they have had 5 losses in 8 video games against them! so it somewhat is obviously a competent interest to video show. despite if it somewhat is a bitter opposition as a results of fact Dallas followers anticipate to conquer them yet do no longer pull it off over 0.5 the time! yet this has been a opposition for years!

Washington and Dallas have been rivals since the early seventies.

It's just a long running rivalry.
