Aikman: Year-by Year
(From Dallas Cowboys Press Guide)
1989
In 1989, Aikman showed tremendous poise for a rookie. After
missing five games due to a broken left index finger suffered
against the N.Y. Giants (10/1), Aikman threw for an NFL rookie-record
379 yards at Phoenix (11/12).
In that game, against the Cardinals, he was knocked unconscious
after rifling a 75-yard scoring strike to put Dallas up 20-17
with 1:43 remaining.
Against the Rams (12/3), Aikman became the first Cowboys player
since Danny White in 1987 to throw four touchdown passes. The
first rookie quarterback to start a season opener for Dallas since
Roger Staubach in 1969, Aikman was named to most All-Rookie teams.
