No Dallas Cowboys team had ever won more games in a season (13-3) or in a row _ the 11-game winning streak was a franchise record.
In the end, the Cowboys still didn’t get it done.
They have yet to win more than two playoff games since 1997. They have not reached the NFC title game or the Super Bowl since 1995.
But the Cowboys are going into the off-season looking at a bright future rather than looking back at what they didn’t get done.
The Cowboys are looking ahead because of the presence of rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, who took over the team and the locker room, while supplanting injured starter Tony Romo for good.
