]The Miami Dolphins visit Dallas the evening for a bit of turkey and FOOTBALL. For NFL nostalgists, this encounter will evoke memories of one of the most surreal Thanksgiving games in NFL history. Back in 1993, these teams met on a strange, snowy night in Texas. With about 13 seconds left, the Dolphins lined up for a game-winning field goal, which was when all the madness started. A Cowboys player got his hand on the kick - halting the ball's arc. Celebrations went up around the stadium as the ball rolled innocently forward around the five yard line, but something was seriously wrong. In the replays, you can see the Cowyboys players gathered around the ball waiting for its forward progress in the snow to stop - according to the NFL's weird rules, a Cowboys player would need to down the ball for the ball to be deemed 'dead' (if a Dolphins player touched the ball, it would have been a dead ball as well.) All was well until Leon Lett - he of the most infamous play in Super Bowl history - comes trundling along. Lett stupidly slips in the snow, knocking the ball forward and making the ball live. The Dolphins pounced on it and would make the field goal that won them Thanksgiving second time around. The commentator's reaction when they realise Lett is the goat here is priceless:
"It's Leon Lett, noooooo!".
