A challenging bit of Cowboys trivia.

[Phoenix]

Yes and his season ended on the same play, touchdown, knee blown out.

Nope. Galloway's TD was from Cunningham, not Aikman.

No, that is Randy Gallowaste the reporter...

Wow. No kudos from the poster of the question? Nothing? No challenge?

After I went through the game logs of every single game Troy Aikman played for the Cowboys and carefully collated the passing TDs. I'm 99.999% sure I am correct.

Scratch that. I AM correct. And in the exact order that I recorded above.

After wading through all of that, let me offer a counter-challenge question: How many 2-pt conversion throws did Troy Aikman ever make for the Cowboys, and who were they to?

This might be a trick question with the "they" reference. Might be one. Might be none.

It's a crying shame that LaFleur caught more Aikman TD's than Rocket.
