Classic Turkey Day plays in history
MORNING BREW
Turkkeys and touchdowns are a synonymous Thanksgiving combination that stuffs Americans to satisfaction. Throughout the years, NFL games on Thanksgiving have whet American's appetite and have become a de facto Turkey Day meal. Many games were extra dry and unbearable boring like cold or leftover turkey, but some were as scrumptious as a pumpkin pie dessert.
Some players' careers have been defined by their brilliance or blunders on Thanksgiving games because the entire nation has eyes squarely on the few football games taking place on the national day of thanks. Here are some indelible moments from previous Thanksgiving games that enthrall football fans to this day.
COIN FLIP FLOP: STEELERS VS. LI-
ONS, NOV 26,1998
This was arguably the most infamous and controversial coin flip in the history of the NFL. Going into overtime tied 16-16 with the Detroit Lions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, on the road, had to choose heads or tails on the coin toss. Steelers running back and team captain Jerome Bettis choose tails while referee Phil Luckett tossed the coin in the air, but Luckett mistakenly heard Bettis yell heads. The result of the coin toss was tails, yet the Lions won the toss, not the Steelers. Bettis, who was
demonstratively puzzled and irate, could do nothing to persuade Luckett. The Lions chose to receive and kicked a field goal on their first drive to win the game 19-16. Since that game, teams are now required to make a coin toss decision before the referee tosses the coin.
MOSS THE BOSS: VIKINGS VS. COWBOYS. NOV. 26. 1998
Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Randy Moss had a little revenge on his mind when the Vikings took on the Dallas Cowboys. Moss pledged that if Jerry Jones and the Cowboys didn't select him eighth in the NFL Draft, then held make them pay every time he played against the Cowboys. Moss backed up his promise emphatically. Moss scorched the Cowboys secondary; garnering three receptions for 163 yards, but what made his day special was that
all three of his catches were touchdowns. Moss's three touchdown receptions were for 51, 56 and 56 yards. The rookie sensation dazzled the national audience with his incendiary speed and athleticism. The Vikings beat the Cowboys 46-36 and set the record for most points scored in a regular season with 556. The record was eventually broken by the 2007 New England Patriots, who scored 589 points.
football. The Dolphins got the ball at the Dallas 1-yard line and attempted another field goal. This one was good, and the Dolphins won the game, 16-14. That Cowboys defeat would be their last one of the season, winning the rest of their games en route to their fourth Super Bowl title.
LETT IT GO: DOLPHINS VS. COWBOYS,
NOV. 25, 1993
Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett has his fair share of comedic errors, one of them in Super Bowl XXVII, and the other in their 1993 Thanksgiving Day game against the Miami Dolphins. Down 14-13, the Dolphins attempted a 41-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the game. The kick was blocked and the ball slid across the field toward the end zone. While Cowboys players were celebrating, Lett decided to recover the ball. He slid on the icy playing field and muffled the recovery, allowing the Dolphins to recover the live
