FRISCO, Texas -- Leon Lett was running to the locker room at Lincoln Financial Field two weeks ago when he heard some fans calling his name.
“Hey,” one guy yelled, “don’t drop the ball.”
Twenty-five years later, Lett cannot run away from one of the most infamous plays in Thanksgiving Day history. That’s one of the downsides of playing for the Dallas Cowboys. People never forget.
“There’s still people that throw it out to me, but it’s fun,” Lett said. “The No. 1 thing for me is moving on from it.
"You know, it was a bad play, happened at a bad time, but I think at the end of the day, at the end of the season I had the last laugh.
