History of the Dallas Cowboys - Chapter IX: The transition to the Bill Parcells era

Today we return to a series I began last year. For the unfamiliar I’m looking at Cowboys’ history in five-year increments. As we all know the Dallas Cowboys have a long and storied history. The team ranks:

  • Second (tie) in Super Bowl appearances
  • First in playoff victories (despite many teams having played for decades longer)
  • First in playoff games played
  • Second in playoff appearances (again, despite many teams having played many more seasons)
  • Second in total wins since NFL-AFL merger
  • Most profitable sports franchise in North America

In short, the Dallas Cowboys have been a great NFL franchise and their history is worth celebrating.
