In a weeks time the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos will take to the field to participate in the 50th Super Bowl. Dallas Cowboys fans really felt this was their year; but isn’t it always?
Of the 49 previous Super Bowls the Cowboys have participated in 8 of them – that’s a little over 16%. That’s a great percentage in the grand scheme of things but next week marks the 20th year since the team last appeared in the final. Five Super Bowl appearances in the 70’s delivered two rings, and a golden spell of three rings from three appearances within four years of the 90’s makes the modern barren era even more painful.
