While there were heroes aplenty for the Cowboys on this night, maybe
the most important play of the game was made by rookie wideout Zuriel
Smith who had a rare chance to get his hands on the ball in the game’s
waning seconds....and declined it. This one heads-up play by Smith
sparked an unlikely run to the playoffs for the 2003 Cowboys.
