However, Dallas Cowboys halfback Dan Reeves was able to provide the longest play of the game, when he threw a 50-yard pass to Lance Rentzel. The fourth-quarter touchdown gave Tom Landry a 17-14 lead over Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers.

While that play alone was not enough to vault the Cowboys to a victory, it does still stand as one of the greatest moments in Cowboys history.
