It was the last game of the regular season, Cowboys-Redskins. Turned out to be last regular-season game of Roger Staubach's career. The winner was claiming the NFC East title. The loser, as it turned out, would not make the playoffs. And there the Cowboys were, trailing 34-21, with only 6:54 to play before Captain Comeback put on his cap, capping one of the most dramatic comebacks in Cowboys history with his seven-yard touchdown pass to Tony Hill. |

Eleven months after his fumble in the waning moments of the Cowboys' blowout Super Bowl XXVII victory, defensive tackle Leon Lett made another notorious mistake on a sleet-filled 1993 Thanksgiving Day. This time, it cost the Cowboys. Leading 14-13 in the final seconds, Lett senselessly attempted to recover a blocked field goal but slipped on the ice and lost control of the ball. The Dolphins recovered at Dallas' 1-yard line and kicked the game-winning field goal. |
