The Dallas Cowboys’ quest for an NFC Championship continues.

For the first 30 years of the Super Bowl era, the Cowboys were a mainstay in the game that resulted in a

berth in the ultimate championship game. Not since then.

With Sunday’s defeat, Dallas has now missed 28 consecutive NFC Championship games. The most

recent occurrence was in 1995.

The Cowboys qualified for the NFL’s version of the last four, on average, somewhat more than every

other year over the first three decades of the Super Bowl, which makes that drought even more

remarkable. They participated in the NFC Championship sixteen times, spanning from Super Bowl I to

Super Bowl XXX.

1995. Even with a 10-year break from 1982 to 1992, the Cowboys still appeared in 16 of the first 30

games for a shot in the Super Bowl. Since the how-bout-them-Cowboys won their third Super Bowl in

four years, crickets. It’s gotten so bad that, since the Texans entered the NFL in 2002, they have more

postseason wins (five) than the Cowboys (four).

Thus, while the Cowboys might still be America’s Team, Houston has become Texas’ Team. And it’s

impossible not to imagine owner Jerry Jones is fully aware of the situation while determining what to do

with coach Mike McCarthy — and who to perhaps replace him with.
