Did Dan Reeves ever play quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys?
No. But the Dallas Cowboys running back, who was a quarterback
at the University of South Carolina, occasionally threw the
football through the halfback option play. His most famous
touchdown pass occurred during the "Ice Bowl," the classic 1967 NFL
Championship Game between the Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers at
frozen Lambeau Field. In the fourth quarter, Reeves surprised the
Packers with a 50-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Lance
Rentzel, giving the Cowboys a 17-14 lead. But Green Bay prevailed
via a last-second quarterback sneak by Bart Starr for an
unforgettable 21-17 win.
