The Dallas Cowboys put the period on their dynasty run on January 28, 1996, having just won their third Super Bowl in four years. For context to this article and the writer behind it—I was born just seven months later.
When I came into this world, the lore and legend of what America’s Team was able to accomplish in the 90s was over before my life even started. Since then, my fandom surrounding the team was cemented in players like Tony Romo, Jason Witten, DeMarcus Ware, and Marion Barber. My professional career has run parallel to a new era of players in Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, CeeDee Lamb, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Micah Parsons.
