The November 25, 1993, contest between the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins at Texas Stadium remains a notable entry in NFL history due to extreme weather and a late-game sequence. Played in freezing rain and sleet, the game saw the Cowboys hold a 14-7 halftime lead following a Kevin Williams punt return touchdown. Miami narrowed the deficit with two second-half field goals from Pete Stoyanovich. With 15 seconds remaining, Jimmie Jones blocked a potential game-winning field goal attempt. Leon Lett attempted to secure the loose ball on the ice-covered field, but his contact made the ball live, allowing Jeff Dellenbach to recover it for Miami. Stoyanovich then converted a 19-yard field goal to secure a 16-14 victory for the Dolphins.
