The team plays its home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (since the 2009 season). The Cowboys joined the NFL as a 1960 expansion team. The team's national following might best be represented by its NFL record of consecutive games in front of sold-out stadiums. The Cowboys streak of 160 sold-out regular and post-season games began in 1990, and included 79 straight sellouts at their former home, Texas Stadium, and 81 straight sell-outs on the road. The franchise is tied with the [[Denver Broncos]], [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], and [[San Francisco 49ers]] for the second most [[Super Bowl]] appearances (8), corresponding to most NFC championships (8). The Cowboys are the only NFL team to record 20 consecutive winning seasons (1966β1985), in which they only missed the playoffs twice (1974 and 1984), an NFL record. It remains one of the longest winning streaks in all of professional sports. As of the 2009 season, the Cowboys have the highest winning percentage of any active NFL franchise (.580). An article from ''Forbes Magazine'', dated September 2, 2009, lists the Cowboys as the highest valued sports franchise in the history of the United States, and second in the world (behind the United Kingdom's Manchester United), with an estimated value of approximately $1.65 billion, above the [[Washington Commanders]] ($1.5 billion) and the [[New England Patriots]] ($1.361 billion). They are also the wealthiest team in the NFL, generating almost $269 million in annual revenue. =={{NFL header}} Team history== ==='''Founding'''=== The Cowboys joined the NFL as a 1960 expansion team. ==='''Membership'''=== {| align="left" style="font-size: 85%; text-align: left; background: #{{Cowboys color light}}; width: 100%; max-width: 100%; margin-left: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; border: 3px solid #{{Cowboys color}};" |- | align="center" style="background: #{{Cowboys color}}; -moz-border-radius-topright: 10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color light}}; color: #{{Cowboys color third}};" | '''League affiliations |- | align="center" style="background: #{{Cowboys color}}; -moz-border-radius: 10px;" | {| align="center" style="background: #{{Cowboys color light}}; width: 100%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border-collapse:collapse;" |- ! style="padding-left: 0.5em; text-align:left; background: #efefef; border-left:1px; solid #000; width: 65%; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;" | '''{{NFL logo}} [[National Football League|National Football League]] <small>(1960-present)</small>''' |- | style="padding-left: 0.5em; text-align:left; background: #efefef; border-left:1px; solid #000; width: 65%; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;" | *Western Division <small>(1960)</small> *Eastern Conference <small>(1961-1969)</small> **NFL Capitol <small>(1967β1969)</small> *'''{{NFC logo}} [[National Football Conference]] <small>(1970-present)</small>''' **'''[[NFC East]] <small>(1970-present)</small>''' |- ! style="background: #{{Cowboys color}};" | |} |} =='''Championships'''== ===Super Bowl VI=== {{Super Bowl |super_bowl = Super Bowl VI |image_super_bowl = [[File:Super Bowl VI.svg|80px]] |date = January 16, 1972 |venue = Tulane Stadium |city = New Orleans, Louisiana |away_team = {{Dolphins helmet}} [[Miami Dolphins]] |away_team_score = 3 |home_team = {{Cowboys helmet}} {{Win icon}} [[Dallas Cowboys]] |home_team_score = 24 |mvp = Roger Staubach (QB) |typen = 2 |type1 = Cowboys |type2 = Cowboys }} After losing Super Bowl V the year before and enduring a quarterback controversy between Roger Staubach and Craig Morton, the Cowboys switched to Staubach. Behind Staubach and the "Doomsday Defense", the Cowboys went 11-3, then defeated the [[Minnesota Vikings]] 20-12 in the divisional playoffs, then defeated the [[San Francisco 49ers]] 14-3 in the NFC Championship game to reach Super Bowl VI. The Cowboys shook off many years of near misses and finally won their first championship. The defense became the first defense to not give up a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Roger Staubach was named [[Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award|Super Bowl MVP]] by completing 12 of 19 passes for 119 yards and 2 touchdowns while also rushing for 18 yards on 5 carries. ===Super Bowl XII=== {{Super Bowl |super_bowl = Super Bowl XII |image_super_bowl = [[File:Super Bowl XII.svg|80px]] |date = January 15, 1978 |venue = Louisiana Superdome |city = New Orleans, Louisiana |away_team = {{Cowboys helmet}} {{Win icon}} [[Dallas Cowboys]] |away_team_score = 27 |home_team = {{Broncos helmet}} [[Denver Broncos]] |home_team_score = 10 |mvp = Harvey Martin (DE) and Randy White (DT) |typen = 2 |type1 = Cowboys |type2 = Cowboys }} Behind Roger Staubach, rookie running back Tony Dorsett, and the "Doomsday Defense", led by [[National Football League Defensive Player of the Year Award|NFL Defensive Player of the Year]] Harvey Martin, the Cowboys went 12-2, then defeated the [[Chicago Bears]] 37-7 in the divisional playoffs, then defeated the [[Minnesota Vikings]] 23β6 in the NFC Championship game to reach Super Bowl XII. This was the first Super Bowl played at night and the first one played in a domed stadium. The matchup between Roger Staubach and Craig Morton, who quarterbacked the Broncos, became a dominating defensive performance by the Cowboys who forced eight turnovers. Martin and defensive tackle Randy White were named [[Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award|co-Super Bowl MVPs]]. On offense, Dorsett ran for a touchdown and Staubach threw a 45-yard touchdown to Butch Johnson. The Cowboys capped off the victory when fullback Robert Newhouse threw a 29-yard touchdown to Golden Richards. ===Super Bowl XXVII=== {{Super Bowl |super_bowl = Super Bowl XXVII |image_super_bowl = [[File:Super Bowl XXVII.svg|80px]] |date = January 31, 1993 |venue = Rose Bowl |city = Pasadena, California |away_team = {{Cowboys helmet}} {{Win icon}} [[Dallas Cowboys]] |away_team_score = 52 |home_team = {{Bills helmet}} [[Buffalo Bills]] |home_team_score = 17 |mvp = Troy Aikman (QB) |typen = 2 |type1 = Cowboys |type2 = Cowboys }} Behind the triplets (Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin) and an improved defense, led by new arrival Charles Haley, the Cowboys went 13-3, then defeated the [[Philadelphia Eagles]] 34-10 in the divisional playoffs, then upset the [[San Francisco 49ers]] (Haley's former team) 30β20 in the NFC Championship game to reach Super Bowl XXVII. The Cowboys returned to glory with a resounding victory, out scoring the Bills 21-0 in the fourth quarter. Aikman was named [[Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award|Super MVP]] after completing 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards and 4 touchdowns (two of which went to Irvin in an 18 second span) and rushing 3 times for 28 yards. Smith ran for 108 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries and caught 6 passes for 27 yards. The defense scored two touchdowns on fumble recoveries. Late in the game, defensive tackle Leon Lett recovered a fumble and was running for a touchdown that would have set the single game points record for a Super Bowl. However Don Beebe (who would play on the Packers [[Super Bowl XXXI]] team), knocked the ball out of his hands and it rolled into the end zone for a touchback after Lett's showboating. ===Super Bowl XXVIII=== {{Super Bowl |super_bowl = Super Bowl XXVIII |image_super_bowl = [[File:Super Bowl XXVIII.svg|80px]] |date = January 30, 1994 |venue = Georgia Dome |city = Atlanta, Georgia |away_team = {{Bills helmet}} [[Buffalo Bills]] |away_team_score = 13 |home_team = {{Cowboys helmet}} {{Win icon}} [[Dallas Cowboys]] |home_team_score = 30 |mvp = Emmitt Smith (RB) |typen = 2 |type1 = Cowboys |type2 = Cowboys }} Behind the [[National Football League Most Valuable Player Award|NFL MVP]] performance of Emmitt Smith, who led the league in rushing despite missing the first two games due to a contract dispute (which led to an 0-2 start), the Cowboys finished with an NFC-best 12β4 record, then defeated [[Brett Favre]] and the [[Green Bay Packers]] 27β17 in the divisional playoffs, then beat the [[San Francisco 49ers]] 38-21 in the NFC Championship game for the second year in a row to reach Super Bowl XXVIII. Despite trailing 13-6 at halftime, the Cowboys scored 24 unanswered points to win their second straight Super Bowl. James Washington returned a Thurman Thomas fumble for a 46 yard touchdown to tie the game. From there Smith ended the next two drives with rushing touchdowns on each possession and helped the Cowboys run the clock down before a title-clinching field goal. Smith was named [[Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award|Super MVP]] after rushing for 132 yards on 30 carries with 2 touchdowns and catching 4 passes for 26 yards. The Cowboys became the third franchise to win 4 Super Bowls, joining the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] and the 49ers. This was the last Cowboys game coached by Jimmy Johnson. ===Super Bowl XXX=== {{Super Bowl |super_bowl = Super Bowl XXX |image_super_bowl = [[File:Super Bowl XXX.svg|80px]] |date = January 28, 1996 |venue = Sun Devil Stadium |city = Tempe, Arizona |away_team = {{Cowboys helmet}} {{Win icon}} [[Dallas Cowboys]] |away_team_score = 27 |home_team = {{Steelers helmet}} [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] |home_team_score = 17 |mvp = Larry Brown (CB) |typen = 2 |type1 = Cowboys |type2 = Cowboys }} After failing to "three-peat" in 1994, the Cowboys finished with an NFC-best 12β4 record in 1995, then defeated the [[Philadelphia Eagles]] 30-11 in the divisional playoffs, then knocked off [[Brett Favre]] and the [[Green Bay Packers]] for the third straight year, 38-27 in the NFC Championship game to reach Super Bowl XXX. The Cowboys staved off a ferocious comeback effort by the Steelers (who defeated them in Super Bowls X and XIII) to become the first team to win 3 Super Bowls in 4 years and the second to win 5 (after the 49ers). Larry Brown, (who ended the Packers hopes in the NFC Championship game), had two key interceptions to set up touchdowns by Emmitt Smith and earned [[Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award|Super Bowl MVP]] honors, the first cornerback to do so. ==='''Achievements'''=== {| align="left" style="font-size: 80%; text-align: left; background: #{{Cowboys color light}}; width: 100%; max-width: 100%; margin-left: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; border: 3px solid #{{Cowboys color}};" |- | align="center" style="background: #{{Cowboys color}}; -moz-border-radius-topright: 10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color light}}; color: #{{Cowboys color third}};" | '''Achievements |- | align="center" style="background: #{{Cowboys color}}; -moz-border-radius: 10px;" | {| align="center" style="background: #efefef; width: 100%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border-collapse:collapse;" ! colspan="2" align="center" style="background: #cfcfcf; width: 20%; border-right: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color}}; border-bottom: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px; color: #{{Cowboys color}};" | [[National Football League Most Valuable Player Award|''AP'' Most Valuable Player]] ! colspan="2" align="center" style="background: #cfcfcf; width: 20%; border-right: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color}}; border-bottom: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px; color: #{{Cowboys color}};" | [[National Football League Offensive Player of the Year Award|Offensive Player of the Year]] ! colspan="2" align="center" style="background: #cfcfcf; width: 20%; border-right: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color}}; border-bottom: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px; color: #{{Cowboys color}};" | [[National Football League Defensive Player of the Year Award|Defensive Player of the Year]] ! colspan="2" align="center" style="background: #cfcfcf; width: 20%; border-bottom: 1px solid #{{Cowboys color}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px; color: #{{Cowboys color}};" | [[Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award|Super Bowl MVP]] |- align="center" | {{Champ-Yr}} 1993 | {{AP1}} [[Image:ESmith2.png|35px]] Emmitt Smith | {{Champ-Yr}} 2014 | {{AP1}} [[Image:Cowboys29.png|35px]] DeMarco Murray | {{Champ-Yr}} 1977 | {{AP1}} [[Image:HMartin2.png|35px]] Harvey Martin | {{Champ-Yr}} 1970 | {{AP1}} [[Image:Cowboys54-1.png|35px]] Chuck Howley |- align="center" | colspan=6 rowspan=6 {{AP3}} | {{Champ-Yr}} 1971 | {{AP1}} [[Image:Staubach2.png|35px]] Roger Staubach |- align="center" | {{Champ-Yr}} 1977 | {{AP1}} [[Image:HMartin2.png|35px]] Harvey Martin |- align="center" | {{Champ-Yr}} 1977 | {{AP1}} [[Image:Cowboys54-2.png|35px]] Randy White |- align="center" | {{Champ-Yr}} 1992 | {{AP1}} [[Image:Aikman2.png|35px]] Troy Aikman |- align="center" | {{Champ-Yr}} 1993 | {{AP1}} [[Image:ESmith2.png|35px]] Emmitt Smith |- align="center" | {{Champ-Yr}} 1995 | {{AP1}} [[Image:MBarber2.png|35px|link=]] Larry Brown |} |} ==External links== '''References''' *{{Football icon}} [http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/ Pro Football Reference.com - Dallas Cowboys franchise encyclopedia] *{{Wikipedia icon}} [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Cowboys Wikipedia - Dallas Cowboys page] *{{Chris Creamer icon}} [http://www.chriscreamer.com/team.php?id=165 Chris Creamer's Sportslogos.net - Dallas Cowboys logos] [[Category:National Football League teams]] [[Category:NFL National/Western Division Teams]] [[Category:NFL American/Eastern Division Teams]] [[Category:NFL Capitol Division Teams]] [[Category:NFC East Division Teams]] [[Category:NFL National/Western]] [[Category:NFL American/Eastern]] [[Category:NFL Capitol]] [[Category:NFC East]]
