Cowboy's Playoff Record?

Before I tell the story about how this came about I thought I would throw this out there for a little fun with you guys first. Who holds the DALLAS COWBOY RECORD for most interceptions in a playoff game?

Without looking it up I'm going to guess Everson Walls

I'm going to say Charlie Waters... 3 against the Ewes.

my 1st thought would be one of the non well known names like James Washington or a LB. But honestly don't know.

Well, to start the story out, many of the guys in here from the espn days know I have a blue room full of Cowboy history. To make a long story short, I accidently stumbled on to some unaware history while purchasing a Charlie Waters photo. Until the other day I always thought and believed Dennis Thurman held the Cowboy playoff record for most interceptions in a game, which was the Cowboys and Packers in the 1983 NFC divisional. As I am researching the information of the Charlie Waters photo for engraving purposes, I see he as well had 3 interceptions in a playoff game. Cowboys vs. Bears, 1977 NFC divisional. I always knew Charlie had the most playoff interceptions in Cowboy history, but until 2days ago, I had no idea he also shared that record with Dennis "dirt" Thurman. Now I have 2 engraved plates to do.
