History

Historical Context

In 1995 Jerry Jones bolstered Dallas by signing All-Pro corner Deion Sanders and Emmitt Smith set an NFL record with 25 rushing touchdowns, helping the Cowboys start 4-0, finish 12-4 and win Super Bowl XXX. That early-season rushing surge mirrors today’s first-four-game burst, where CeeDee Lamb posted 189 receiving yards and Javonte Williams tied a seven-touchdown mark.
