Cowboys offseason countdown: 99 facts until the regular season (Day 99)

We’re starting a new series for the offseason, a countdown over 99 days until the start of the Dallas Cowboys regular season. On each day, we’ll provide a fact that relates to the number of that day.

To start the series, we’ll look at number 99 and a physically unbreakable NFL record, Tony Dorsett’s 99-yard touchdown run. Dorsett’s rushing touchdown set an NFL record and is the longest touchdown from scrimmage in Cowboys history.

1983 RB Tony Dorsett sets an unbreakable NFL record by going 99-yards on a touchdown run against the Vikings.
