The Dallas Cowboys will be trying their best to halter the Kansas City Chiefs’ three-peat plan, as they hunt down their personal Super Bowl success.
America’s Team, it seems every year, has the hope of thinking ‘This is the year’ they will finally end their playoff curse.
Dallas has been absent from the Super Bowl, nay an NFC Championship, since 1995. For one of the most historically successful NFL teams to endure a drought of that magnitude is mind-blowing.
Moreover, the Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sporting franchise in the world but their success has not matched up.
Jones wins a miraculous three Super Bowl titles after buying the franchise
After Jerry Jones took over the franchise in 1989, he oversaw one of the greatest transformations in NFL history.
The 81-year-old won three Super Bowl titles during his first six seasons of ownership. However, he was denied the first ‘three-peat’ crown in 1994.
Legendary Cowboys Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smtih, and Michael Irvin under the guidance of Jimmy Johnson created one of the greatest NFL dynasties of all time.
San Francisco 49ers deny the Dallas Cowboys in their ‘three-peat attempt
Nonetheless, their three-peat attempt in 1994 was disrupted by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship.
After dismantling the Green Bay Packers 35-9 in the NFC Divisional Round, they succumbed to the inevitable Super Bowl winners in the next stage.
The Cowboys could not complete the hatrick to complement their world successes in ’92 and ’93.
Eight teams have attempted the remarkable feat but no one has managed to do what no team has done before.
NFL expert pinpoints one player who cost the Cowboys a third successive crown
FS1 expert Nick Wright believed that legendary cornerback Deion Sanders was the reason for the Cowboys falling short.
Sanders is one of the best cornerbacks to have ever played the game and is not nicknamed ‘Prime Time’ for no reason.
Prime Time was the 1994 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was invaluable to the team that cost the Cowboys their shot at glory.
The Cowboys signed Sanders and added another ring to their collection in 1995
Nonetheless, he signed a contract with the Cowboys shortly after his Super Bowl success which made him the highest-paid cornerback in the league.
As we know, America’s Team won their fifth Super Bowl and Sanders’ second in a row in 1995.
Now the Cowboys can only dream of returning to a period of such domination – three rings in four years.
In 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs are set on becoming the first team to reach the incredible goal in New Orleans.
