The Dallas Cowboys have won
the Super Bowl five times in their history. They won Super Bowl VI in 1971,
Super Bowl XII in 1977, Super Bowl XXVII in 1992, Super Bowl XXVIII in 1993,
and Super Bowl XXX in 1995. The team has also made it to the Super Bowl eight
times in total, which is tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most
appearances in NFL history.
The Dallas Cowboys are a
professional American football team based in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
The Cowboys compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of
the league's National Football Conference (NFC) East division. The team is
headquartered in Frisco, Texas, and plays its home games at AT&T Stadium in
Arlington, Texas, which opened for the 2009 season. The stadium took the place
of the Cowboys' previous home, Texas Stadium, which was demolished in 2010. The
Cowboys joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1960. The team has made it to
the Super Bowl eight times, tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most
Super Bowl appearances in NFL history, but have only won five of those games.
The Cowboys are known for their strong fan base and high merchandise sales.
Cowboys, Tom Brady to Battle in Prime Time
LANDOVER, MD — As far as how the 2022
regular season unfolded, it went to the wire and the Dallas Cowboys gave a
valiant effort toward potentially improving their playoff seeding heading into
their Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders but, in the end, they end
the week where they started it in the bracket.
The Cowboys will enter the
tournament as owners of the No. 5 seed in the NFC, set to face off against the
winners of the NFC South: Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The game is set for Monday,
Jan. 16 at 8:25 p.m. EDT — capping off NFL Super Wild Card Weekend.
The outcome of Week 18 had
more than one possible scenario for the Cowboys, the team having applied
pressure to the Philadelphia Eagles by virtue of defeating them on Christmas
Eve before then downing the Tennessee Titans.
That put Dallas on a
two-game win streak and initiated a two-game losing streak by Philadelphia that
prevented them from clinching the NFC East or the top seat in the NFC.
To steal away the top seat
in the division, the Cowboys needed a victory against the Commanders and a loss
by the Eagles. To take the top seed in the conference, the Cowboys needed a
victory, a loss by the Eagles against the New York Giants and a loss by the San
Francisco 49ers against the Arizona Cardinals.
In the end, it was not to
be, particularly with the 49ers and Eagles both cruising to victory.
With their seeding now
solidified, the Cowboys now begin preparations this week to visit Brady at
Raymond James Stadium on Super Wild Card Weekend in a rematch of the regular
season opener, when the Buccaneers handed the Cowboys a 19-3 loss at AT&T
Stadium.
It'll be an opportunity for
Dallas to perform an exorcism against Brady, seeing as he's 7-0 against the
Cowboys.
Brady has long had Dallas
under his thumb, giving Dak Prescott and the Cowboys defense more than enough
motivation to finally end his reign over them. It'll start with taking a long
hard look at how disjointed they were in Washington to try and guarantee it
doesn't happen in Tampa.
There are no more mulligans
to be had.
