1991 Wild Card - Bill Bates finishes off the Bears.....Twice! - 12/29/1991

Dallas defensive back Bill Bates intercepts Jim Harbaugh to clinch a 17-13 Wild Card victory for the cowboys. Bates had recovered a Harbaugh fumble earlier but the play was ruled dead.

Brought back memories 😢 good 1 tho....

[@mrshurman2559]

The guy Jimmy Johnson wanted to cut every year but never did.

[@PCCphoenix]

And it's a good thing he didn't if that's true!!!

[@redmustangredmustang]

The guy who always stuck around and produced when needed especially on special teams.

[@JeepersCreepers2013]

I remember being so mad at the refs for not ruling that a fumble, and then boom Bates has it again. Start of the come back for Dallas! The next week sucked though lol

[@raymondsolisjr.1262]

my favorite defensive of all time.

[@PCCphoenix]

The fumble was overturned because apparently Harbaugh's knee went down before the ball came out and the whistle blew late, but it's hard to tell from that angle. Next play, Dallas got the turnover anyway!

[@johnmagill3072]

They really could use a Bill Bates today

[@BillyRamirez]

That was a Bears squad that lost 52-14 to the non-playoff bound 49ers in week 17.
