In January 1983, the Dallas Cowboys were the first NFL team to make a tenth appearance in a Conference Championship Game in only the thirteenth year of the game. Since then, only six other teams have made at least ten appearances.
In January 1996, the Cowboys beat the Packers in their fourteenth NFC Championship Game appearance going on to win their fifth Super Bowl. Dallas was the first team to have 14 Conference Championship Game appearances and only the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers have now made more appearances.
Cowboys Nation is very aware that the January 1996 playoff run was the last time the Cowboys played for anything of importance.
