Countdown to Cowboys Regular Season: 69 Days, 99 Facts in the Offseason
The Dallas Cowboys last had a tied game in 1969 against the San Francisco 49ers on Thanksgiving Day. The game ended in a tie before overtime rules were introduced in the NFL. Despite playing with a separated shoulder, quarterback Craig Morton threw for two touchdowns and over 200 yards. The tie meant the Cowboys maintained their record of not losing a Thanksgiving game in the 1960s. Morton took over the offense following Don Meredith’s retirement and had a successful career with the Cowboys. The tie game in 1969 remains significant as one of the last tie games before the NFL-AFL merger.
