Trivia question: Are Cowboys first 12+ win WC team in playoffs?

[Diehardblues]

Cowboys are in good company with 12 win WC teams. Most went to either championship game or Super Bowl

 

[Diehardblues]

The Titans?

Yes sir

Cowboys next week could become only the second WC with 13 wins.

There was one in nfc East. I forgot about us in 1980. We were the first. That’s what happens when you go by memory. Lol

Lol ok so I wasn't crazy after all!

Ravens in 2000. Greatest defense besides 85 bears in NFL history couldn't win their division.

Titans didn’t win 12

Wow, I did not know that

The Giants.

The game where Emmitt played with bruised ribs and a hurt shoulder.

l recall Dallas finishing second in the NFCE with 12 wins in 1983. If memory serves, they were tied with Washington at 12-2 entering the final two weeks. What I won't forget is that huge week 15 matchup at Texas Stadium v Joe Gibbs' bunch where we fell flat in the No, Danny! No! Game. The Cowboys would not win again, ending it all in the wild card round v the Rams on a cold and miserable day in Irving.

I think we where a 12-4 Wild card team in 84 when Eric Dickerson came to Dallas and ran us out of Texas Stadium.

We were 9-7 in 84. Missed the playoffs .

Division tiebreaker came down to point differential or points scored

and we had that at 35-10 but gave up 17 late points to lose division. We had aome bad losses that year including at Cardinals and at Giants

1983. Skins 14-2, Cowboys 12-4.

I remember how bad the season ended for Dallas that year after a 12-2 start. My friends at school gave me a hard time for weeks.

To date, 11 wild card teams have made the Super Bowl. At No. 11 are the 1985 New England Patriots, who became the first team to win three road games to make the Super Bowl before being annihilated by '85 Chicago Bears.

A lot of the NFL fanbase was so exsaperated of the '85 Bears beating the crap put of most of their oppenents (blanked the Cowboys 44-0 and the Falcons 36-0 in consecutive games)..AND especially after their "Super Bowl Shuffle" video came out - were really pulling for the Patriots to pull off that upset.

 

[KJJ]

A little off-topic, but the 75 Cowboys made it to the Super Bowl as a wildcard team. It took the Hail Mary to advance.
