Lincoln Coleman

Thanksgiving Throwback to 1993 and the infamous ‘Leon Lett Snow Game’ between the Dallas Cowboys & Miami Dolphins. Of course the crazy ending got all the attention that snowy day in Dallas, but another Cowboy I remember making an impact was Rookie Running Back Lincoln Coleman. In his very first game he carried the ball 10 times for 57 yards after stepping in for a banged up Emmitt Smith. I’ll always remember Dick Enberg & Bob Trumpy telling the story how just a year prior Lincoln was working at Home Depot, & playing Semi-Pro Football. Lincoln’s Dad was able to proudly display his son’s accomplishments that Holiday as he had worked for over twenty years at the Dallas Morning News as a Press Man. We wish Lincoln & his family a Happy Thanksgiving! Thank You for the memories.
