Redskins vs. Cowboys: A Look back At The Dallas-Washington Rivalry

I have a theory as to what the National Football League's greatest rivalry is, but I need to know what the NFL itself would say. So I call NFL Network's Mike Lombardi and ask him. Lombardi possesses an unmatched system of alliances (he has worked for everyone from Bill Walsh to Bill Belichick), an ability to seamlessly do-si-do between the executive and press boxes, and an uncanny penchant for spouting the smartest strain of the moment's conventional wisdom. In short, Lombardi is the David Gergen of the NFL. His answer will be definitive. He pauses for quite some time. Finally, he comes out with it:

"Dallas-Washington."

It's a great rivalry but nowhere close to the best.
The Packers and Bears are two of the league's original teams and having been going at it since what... 1923?

Damn good rivalry no doubt.. I am a Cowboys homer but I would not even go as far as to say that it is the BEST rivalry in the NFL.. Or for that matter even the best Rivalry the Cowboys have with another team. It is definitely one of the most heated division rivalries and always a good game.. I would put 49'ers Cowboys better.. For that matter Give me Raiders Broncos or Raiders Chiefs.. Anyone who has ever been in the Raiders division has fought with bitter hatred and gotten plenty back from the Silver and Black over the years.

I still have to give #1 to the Packers and Bears.. Come on they have been duking it out since the 1920's
