The Miami Dolphins have made five appearances in Thanksgiving Day games on the home turf of the Dallas Cowboys. The most notorious contest was the "snow game" on Thursday, November 25, 1993, when the Cowboys apparently had held onto a 14-13 lead by blocking a Miami field goal in the final seconds. But the Dolphins gained second life when hard-luck Dallas defensive tackle Leon Lett touched the ball and made it live, enabling the Dolphins to recover it. Miami placekicker Pete Stoyanovich then kicked a 19-yard field goal, giving the Dolphins an unforgettable 16-14 win. Miami has a 3-and-2 record in the holiday contests. Here are the results (Miami victories in bold):

No. The Dolphins play the Cowboys based on the NFL's present (post-2002) scheduling rotation of inter-conference (AFC vs. NFC) games. The NFC East (Dallas Cowboys) play the AFC East (Dolphins) every four years - they played in 2003 and again in 2007. The Dolphins will play the Cowboys again (barring an appearance in Superbowl 45) in 2011.
