Over the last century, the NFL<\/a> has been as much a part of the Thanksgiving holiday as turkey, cranberry sauce and chaos at the mall. The following is a list of some of the most memorable moments of Thanksgiving-day football, including legendary gaffes, athletic wonders and some flat-out iconic games.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Clint Longley Game (1974)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chicago was down 17-3 early in the 4th quarter before quarterback Vince Evans led the team back. But Williams\u2019 95-yard kickoff return touchdown 13 seconds into the extra frame brought victory to the Bears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A Viking Conquest (1987-1988)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Thanksgiving Score-fest in Texas - Vikings vs. Cowboys (Week 12, 1987) Classic Highlights\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5sKUVC1SntA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/minnesota-vikings-tickets\/artist\/805973\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Vikings<\/a> led Dallas by two touchdowns twice in the game before Danny White and the Cowboys came back to tie it, but Wade Wilson led the Vikings to a 44-38 overtime victory as part of an improbable run to the NFC Championship Game. The following year, the Vikings would go to Detroit and shut out the Lions, while the Cowboys would fall to the Houston Oilers in Tom Landry\u2019s 21st and final Thanksgiving game as Dallas\u2019 head coach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A Cowboy’s Lett Down (1993)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"1993 - Dolphins @ Cowboys - Leon Lett Opps\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TrU8z4w8T-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What began as a rare occurrence of snow at Texas Stadium became even weirder as the year\u2019s matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/Miami-Dolphins-tickets\/artist\/805964?ac_link=NFL_TM_MIA_NFL_SPLASH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miami Dolphins<\/a> went on. Thirty-nine-year-old third-string backup Steve DeBerg started for Miami over the injured Dan Marino and Scott Mitchell, but the Dolphins\u2019 true MVP was Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett. Less than a year after Don Beebe swiped the ball from Lett\u2019s hand in Super Bowl XXVII, Lett made another all-time blooper, touching a live ball after a blocked field goal attempt, allowing Miami another chance to win the game, which they did 16-14.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Coin Flap (1998)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Zki61ZmKf4U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Detroit Lions were down 13-3 to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/Pittsburgh-Steelers-tickets\/artist\/806007?ac_link=NFL_TM_PIT_NFL_SPLASH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> in the third quarter, but came back to lead 16-13 before a Norm Johnson field goal at the end of regulation sent the game to one of the most controversial overtime periods of all time. Pittsburgh team captain Jerome Bettis called heads, then tails as the coin was being tossed, with referee Phil Luckett interpreting that as a call of heads when the coin went tails. Jason Hanson then made the game-winning kick for Detroit, who would lose their last four games to finish 5-11 in Barry Sanders\u2019 final season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A Tale of Two Teams (2008)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NFL Thanksgiving: 0-16 Lions RUN OVER by Smash & Dash\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KH6UYYQfCwc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/Tennessee-Titans-tickets\/artist\/806030?ac_link=NFL_TM_TEN_NFL_SPLASH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tennessee Titans<\/a> looked unstoppable for most of the 2008 NFL season, with a 10-1 record going into Thanksgiving, while the Detroit Lions were in the midst of the league\u2019s first winless season since 1982, not to mention the first 0-16 season in NFL history. Running backs Chris Johnson and Lendale White each scored two touchdowns while leading the Titans to a 47-10 trouncing of the Lions that looked closer than it really was, thanks to Tennessee \u201csettling\u201d for four field goals in the second half.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Harbaugh Bowl (2011)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ie9stOrJQ6k\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In what would become a preview of Super Bowl XLVII, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/baltimore-ravens-tickets\/artist\/805901\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> defeated the visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/san-francisco-49ers-tickets\/artist\/806015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco 49ers<\/a>, 16-6.
