| The
Dallas Cowboys franchise is the most successful
in the history of the National Football League.
In their 40 years of existence, the Cowboys
have 27 winning seasons (and 2 500 seasons),
made the playoffs 26 times, won 18 division
championships, and participated in eight of
the 34 Super Bowls, winning 5 of them. Between
1966 and 1985, the Cowboys had 20 consecutive
winning seasons. In the Super Bowl years (since
1966), the Dallas Cowboys have the best record
of any football team as shown in the Summary
of Franchise Records.
Simply
put, the road to the Super Bowl leads through
Dallas. Some love the Cowboys, others don't.
One thing is for sure--everyone has an opinion
about the Cowboys. The Cowboys have the nickname
"America's Team." Every year another
team reaches up and tries to claim this nickname.
The Green Bay Packers are the latest, claiming
they had the name first. Well, give Green
Bay that nickname. Looking at the record of
the Cowboys, perhaps Dallas should have Green
Bay's other nickname, TITLETOWN.
