Deep Blue

Even today, the Dallas defense of the late 1970s remains unmatched in Cowboys history. With stars like Randy White, Harvey Martin, Cliff Harris and “Hollywood” Henderson, the unit not only dominated the NFL to win the title in 1977, but also led the team to three Super Bowls in four years. In an era of fast times and high fun, the Cowboys ruled the city, enjoying their success both on the field and off. No one was bigger. No one was better. This was Doomsday II, the dawn of America’s Team.

Handling adversity is oftentimes what defines a person. And no one has as much practice as Leon Lett. From overcoming tragedy as a teenager to infamous on-field bloopers that turned him into a celebrity for the wrong reasons, Lett overcame the odds – in more ways than one – to turn his life and career around in a way that has kept him around one of his greatest passions – the sport of football.

The Dallas Cowboys were the team of the 90s, but in 1998 a single decision triggered a series of events that would lead to a decade of disappointment for America's Team. As each domino fell, the Cowboys' efforts to control their destiny proved powerless against the inescapable forces of fate.
