The Dallas Cowboys joined the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots last week as the teams with the most postseason victories in the Super Bowl era a week ago with 36. They had the opportunity to break the record yesterday; instead, their opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, joined the club, also winning their 36th postseason game since the first Super Bowl in 1966.
Although this does not mark the all-time NFL postseason wins list, nobody has won more than 36 since the dawn of the Super Bowl, four years before the formal ‘common era’ when the NFL and AFL jointly conducted postseasons, beginning in 1970, the year of Super Bowl V, resulting in a victory of the Baltimore Colts over the Cowboys.
