The Dallas Cowboys are facing the New England Patriots this Sunday. You might recognize the Patriots as the team that has been in each of the last three Super Bowls for the AFC. In fact, they’ve been in quite a lot of Super Bowls in recent years. The Patriots have made it to the conference finals in eight straight seasons. That’s amazing. In contrast, the Cowboys haven’t played in a conference championship game in almost 25 years as you have to go all the way back to mid-’90s to see them make it that far into the playoffs.
