Maybe the 1992 Cowboys and their 4 year run. All the excitement they caused with their Super Bowls, the Green Bay and San Francisco rivalries, Prime Time, the triplets, Jerruh Jones, Jimmy Johnson.

"In 1969, in a game against the Colts, the Vikings running back Dave Osborn began the game in number 41 and also wore number 42." "Later, in the second half, Osborn donned number 42. presumably for the same reason as Josephson—some kind of tear." https://nflfootballjournal.blogsp...

Bobby Douglas in 1973 against the Packers in a 31-17 win. A two yarder and 3 one yarders. Probably just as amazing is he went 10-15 passing in that game

Think it was his first year in Houston (1960), so he wasn't yet quite the fossil most of us remember him as. Oddly enoug...

Dunno why he's included

Two have done it.

One isn't surprising
The other is surprising if you only know about the 2nd part of his career
