History

Historical Context

After the 1995 Cowboys captured their fifth title—defeating the Steelers 27-17 and setting a record 25 rushing touchdowns—Dallas built a reputation for thriving on opponent injuries, a pattern echoed in 2024 when Dak Prescott’s 212 passing yards helped beat an injury-hit Philadelphia squad. The 1995 season’s veteran departures and Deion Sanders’ arrival illustrate the franchise’s long-standing reliance on aggressive roster moves.
