On day twenty-five of the one-hundred-day countdown to kickoff, we relive Roger Staubach’s legendary NFL debut—September 21, 1969, at the Cotton Bowl. After a winding path that included Navy service and Vietnam, Staubach exploded onto the scene with a jaw-dropping 75-yard TD pass to Lance Rentzel, capped off by his own three-yard rushing score. He finished with 220 yards, one TD, zero picks, and a performance that foreshadowed the dynasty he’d help build. This wasn’t just a game—it was the birth of a legend.
