Andrew Sendejo made his NFL debut vs. Philadelphia and followed that up last week by picking up his first career tackle on special teams against Washington.
Sendejo is the eighth Owl to play for the Cowboys and the first since Michael Downs, who was a mainstay in the Dallas defenisve backfield from 1981-88.
This edition's trivia questions (no real soft tosses here):
1. Can you name the first Owl to play for the Cowboys?
2. Which legendary Owl wrapped up his NFL career with the Cowboys?
3. After going 0-11-1 in their first season, the Cowboys won their opener in 1961 for the first in in their history. Can you name the Owl who was the Cowboys' leading receiver that day?
4. Can you name the Owl who scored a touchdown in the first-ever game in Cowboys history?
Happy Holidays and Happy Hunting

#1 Correct
#2 Have to give you credit, my wording was poor but I had another player in mind, a player who was back in the news this past month. Will reveal the name I was looking for a bit later
#3 Correct
#4 This was a bit of a trick question, answer to come a bit later
#1 Correct
#2 As noted in our other response, I have to give you credit, my wording was poor but I had another player in mind, a player who was back in the news this past month. Will reveal the name I was looking for a bit later
#3 Correct
#4 This was a bit of a trick question, but you have the right answer..... The trick part of the question is that Dial scored it AGAINST the Cowboys, while playing for Pittsburgh
Chuck,
Then the answer to #2 is Dickey Maegle, who played in the defensive backfield in 1961 (although the Cowboys spelled his name Moegle). He was listed as both a running back and defensive back but played almost exclusively in the defensive backfield. During his career, he made 28 interceptions as a DB.
Dickey was the answer we were looking for.
Thanks for participating!
