Why? The game was in hand when Leon was crusing into the endzone. The only thing the Cowboys lost was scoring 59 points as a record in a Superbowl. There was no “call” for Leon Lett on defense to recover a fumble and then have the ball knocked out of his hand right before crossing the endzone in a 52-17 ass whipping of the lowly bills.
I wasn’t referring to the Super Bowl (I’d forgotten that one). I meant the game on Thanksgiving when Lett kicked a ball after a blocked field goal. The Dolphins got the ball back and then kicked the game winning field goal. I misremembered it as a fumble. Technically it was, because by touching it, Lett made it a possession change which allowed the Dolphins to regain possession and kick the winning field goal. It reminded me of the Seahawks blunder because it meant a game which had been won was given away.
