The Bounty Bowl was the name given to two NFL games held in 1989 between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. The first, a 1989 Thanksgiving Day game in Dallas, was noted for allegations that the Eagles put a $200 bounty on Cowboys kicker Luis Zendejas, who had been cut by Philadelphia earlier that season. The second was a rematch held two weeks later in Philadelphia. The Eagles, favored to win both games, swept the series. == Bounty Bowl I: The 1989 Thanksgiving Classic == On November 23, 1989, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys 27–0. Following the game, which was broadcast on CBS, Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson alleged that Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan had taken out a bounty on two of the former's players, kicker Luis Zendejas and quarterback Troy Aikman:〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOW9oYaSQdg〕 Ryan denied the bounty accusation, saying that film of the game "show that Small had no intention of hurting Zendejas."〔 The Philadelphia coach asserted it would have been in the Eagles' best interests to keep Zendejas in the game because he was in a slump.〔 Ryan also joked about Johnson's accusations: When the Cowboys and Eagles met on Thanksgiving 25 years later, on November 27, 2014, Johnson joked that Ryan put up the bounty offer to keep his players interested since the Cowboys, who ultimately went 1-15, were so bad that year.〔Jimmy Johnson mentioned in the first segment of Fox NFL Sunday on November 27, 2014. Johnson was an analyst on the show at the time.〕 Zendejas claimed that while he was with the Eagles, another player had received $100 for each of two hits on a punter and kicker. This set of events set the stage for the scheduled rematch two weeks later in Philadelphia, dubbed "Bounty Bowl II." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bounty Bowl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
