Dallas Cowboys History

By Geoffrey Wooldridge

NFL existent is closely related to the story of its oldest clubs, and Dallas Cowboys history belongs to this story. Founded forty years ago, the Cowboys have won five Super Bowls, and over eighteen division championships.

The Cowboys have always been disputed, discussed, admired or criticized by their supporters or detractors. With every match they play, the Cowboys add a new file or chapter to their story whether good or bad. Some of us love the Cowboys, others don't, and this is not something to change soon!

Often known as America's Team, the Cowboys have achieved quite a lot to deserve the name. The beginnings of the Dallas Cowboys were not at all smooth and peaceful, on the contrary, there was strong opposition against the Dallas Steers as the team was called back then. And there hasn't been a stop to rivalries since then. Once they started to play locally, the Cowboys made a break through and success became an inherent part of Dallas Cowboys history in the mid-60s.

The first Super Bowl appearance of the Cowboys took place under the leadership of quarterback Craig Morton. The popularity of the team continued to grow, and Dallas Cowboys history became part of the national culture. The team welcomed new players and stuff members meant to increase the overall performance. The fresh contribution to the roster became obvious in the success in Super Bowls X and XIII. And at the end of the 70s, the Cowboys were receiving the top NFL qualifications. The 80s had no Super Bowl for the Cowboys, but the victories in the division championships were pretty numerous.

In the 90s Dallas Cowboys history is scattered with injuries, free agency and some disciplinary problems that affected the evolution of the team and its performance during the games. Even so, there was no other NFL team to post as many wins as the Cowboys in the 90s. Cowboys will certainly not give up their reputation without a fight. Any other NFL team aiming to great performance should have the same professional standards, talent and strength to follow aspirations.
