Led by a star-studded roster led by Aikman, Smith and Irvin, the Cowboys emerged as a juggernaut in the early ’90s. They went on to win three Super Bowl championships over a four-year span (1992, 1993 and ’95), becoming the second NFL franchise to win five Lombardi Trophies up to that point.
The Cowboys, haven’t been the same since their last Super Bowl championship in the 1995 season. Dallas has won just five playoff games since 1996, and they haven’t gotten past the Divisional Round since they last hoisted the Lombardi Trophy.
Jerry Jones & ’90s Cowboys Finally Get Their Documentary
There have been documentaries on other sports dynasties like the “Showtime” Los Angeles Lakers of the ’80s, Michael Jordan’s ’90s Chicago Bulls and, more recently, the New England Patriots of the 21st century.
It’s been nearly 30 years since the ’90s Cowboys celebrated their last Super Bowl championship, but the franchise remains more widely-followed and beloved than ever before. A documentary on the Cowboys of the ’90s was long overdue, and it promises to be entertaining one way or another.
