What is the Dallas Cowboys history? AKA Cowboys Jacksonville Jaguars

The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in Dallas. The Cowboys compete in the National Football Conference (NFC) East division of the National Football League (NFL). The Cowboys were founded in 1960 as an expansion team and have since become one of the most successful and popular franchises in NFL history.

The Cowboys have won five Super Bowls (VI, XII, XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX), tied for the third-most in NFL history. They have also won eight NFC championships, the most in the conference's history. The Cowboys are the only NFL team to record 20 straight winning seasons (from 1966 to 1985) during which they missed the playoffs only twice (1974 and 1984).

The Cowboys' early years were marked by struggles. They finished with a losing record in their first six seasons, including a winless 0-11-1 campaign in 1960. However, the Cowboys began to turn things around in the mid-1960s, led by head coach Tom Landry and quarterback Roger Staubach. The Cowboys won their first division title in 1966 and their first NFC championship in 1970.

The Cowboys of the 1970s and early 1980s were one of the most dominant teams in NFL history. They won two Super Bowls (VI and XII) and appeared in five Super Bowls overall. The Cowboys were led by a star-studded roster that included Staubach, Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith, Randy White, and Larry Allen.

The Cowboys' success began to decline in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They missed the playoffs in six of seven seasons from 1989 to 1995. However, the Cowboys returned to prominence in the late 1990s, led by quarterback Troy Aikman and running back Emmitt Smith. The Cowboys won three Super Bowls (XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX) in the 1990s.

The Cowboys have struggled in recent years, missing the playoffs in seven of the last eight seasons. However, the Cowboys have a young and talented roster that is poised to return to contention in the near future.
