THIS IS WHO I THOUGHT THEY WERE

In 1971 a 4-3 Cowboys team came from behind in the 4th quarter to beat the Cardinals. This team won out for the franchise's first championship. A coda for some of the original greats that marked the arrival of the Dallas Cowboys.
In January 1976, Roger Staubach completed the most famous pass in NFL history. This took a team, widely predicted to finish last in their division, to the Super Bowl. They lost to Pittsburgh, but the leaders greatness was cemented and it set the stage for a group of young players that would drive the team for the next 8 years.
In January of 1993, the triplets won in San Francisco and started a dynasty that could have won 4 in a row.
These are the seminal games in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. Last nights game vs the Saints could join this list if they follow through. Many have called this the most talented team in football. Hopefully this team knows it now too. The Saints did not lose, the Cowboys won. Win the next 2 and I will believe.
