Between 1966 and 1971, the Dallas Cowboys was one of the winningest teams in the NFL. Yet the team is best remembered for the games they lost then the games they won.

During a five year period, the Cowboys won five consecutive division championships, played in two NFL title games and a Super Bowl but lost each of them in dramatic fashion, mostly on the last play of the game.

In this edition of the Historically Speaking Podcast we will take a look back at those Cowboy teams that featured several Hall of Fame players and led by a all-time great coach but seemed unable to win that one big game.

At least not until the 1971 season.

Later in the episode we will send a shout out to the quarterback of those teams.

Although not in the Hall of Fame as a player, Don Meredith was one of the most popular players in Cowboy history and used that popularity to become one of the most famous football color analysts in NFL History.
