Well if not for Don Beebe, Dallas would have scored the most points in a SB.
Darn spoiler Don Beebe! ;) Gotta look him up.
Gotta see if I can find video now. :)

Beebe is well known for making one of the most memorable plays in Super Bowl history. It occurred during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XXVII, after Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett recovered a Buffalo Bills fumble. As Lett advanced the ball towards the end zone he began to celebrate prematurely by holding the ball out to his right side. Although the Bills were losing 52-17 at the time, a relentless Don Beebe streaked down the field and knocked the ball out of Lett’s hands just before the goal line.[4] The loose ball went through the end zone and out of bounds, causing a touchback and preventing a Dallas touchdown (which would have given them a Super Bowl-record 58 points). Beebe also caught 2 passes for 50 yards, including a 40 yard touchdown reception from Frank Reich earlier in the game.
Beebe has always been highly respected by players and coaches because of his strong work ethic and character. He was honored as an “Unsung Hero” in 1996 at the NFL Players Association Awards Banquet.

I am a Dallas fan, but this play shows remarkable character by Don Beebe. Great hustle. Oh for those glory days of the 90s again sometime soon?
The Bears won an NFL championship 73-0. (The NFL championship just wasn’t called the “Super Bowl” at that time, that’s all.)
