Somebody in the 80's (Drew Pearson I think) tore up his knee doing an end zone TD celebration and missed the rest of the season. 1979 vs the Giants. He jumped in the air to spike the football after a TD, landing awkwardly and spraining his knee. Landry, who was miffed, made him stay in the game and...
