Founded in 1960, the experienced much success due to the longevity of excellent coach Tom Landry, who led the team from its inception until 1988. In 1966, they began a streak of 8 straight playoff berths, lasting until 1973. After a one year interuption a 9 year playoff streak unfolder from 1975-83. During this time, Dallas was dominant during the regular season, but seemed to be somewhat unsuccessful in the postseason. They lost their first Super Bowl in 1970 on a last second Colts field goal, but followed it up with a Super Bowl VI win the next year. In the 1970s, the Cowboys were called America's Team, and had a fierce rivalry with the Pittsburgh Steelers, as both were easily the best and most popular teams in football. While Dallas claimed its second title in 1977 in Super Bowl XII, they came up on the losing end of 2 Super Bowl apperances against the Steelers in 1975 and 1978. After the dominance of the 1970s and 1980s came to an end in Landry's last playoff berth in 1985, the team went through a short but bitter downfall, before quickly rebounding in the early 1990s. From 1991-99, they earned 8 playoff berths in 9 seasons but most importantly won 3 more Super Bowl crowns with a new cast of characters such as Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith. Their back-to-back 1992 and 1993 Super Bowl XXVII and XXVIII wins over Buffalo were dominanting, but their Super Bowl XXX victory over archrival Pittsburgh was contreversial due to 2 terrible Steeler interceptions. In recent years, the team hasn't been such a force, with just 1 playoff berth in this decade, coming during the 2003 season.
