He is famous for an incident in a game against the San Francisco 49ers on September 24, 2000 when he was a safety for the Dallas Cowboys. In that game, Terrell Owens of the 49ers caught his second touchdown pass of the game and celebrated on the Cowboys' star at the 50-yard line. Teague assaulted Owens from behind and as a result is remembered by many Cowboys' fans as a defender of the team's dignity.

This became known as "The Strip" to Alabama fans, and helped lead Alabama to its rout of Miami to win the national championship.
