Dallas Cowboys

"Pure depth. That '92 team was full of great talent." - Emmitt Smith
Troy Aikman
by Troy Aikman

How 'bout them Cowboys! That line was said by coach Jimmy Johnson during the Cowboys Super Bowl title run in the 1992 season. The Cowboys went 13-3 in the regular season and were spectacular in the playoffs, winning their two NFC playoff games by double-digit margins before destroying the Bills, 52-17 in Super Bowl XXVII. Dallas’ star players included 23-year-old running back Emmitt Smith, who led the NFL with 1,713 yards rushing and 18 rushing TDs; 26-year-old QB Troy Aikman (3,445 yards passing, 23 TDs); and 26-year-old wide receiver Michael Irvin, who had a Pro Bowl year with 1,396 yards receiving. All-Pro tight end Jay Novacek and 24-year old wideout Alvin Harper rounded out an offensive group that ranked second in the NFL in points. On defense, three defensive ends – the Hall of Famer Charles Haley, Jim Jeffcoat and Tony Tolbert – combined for 25 sacks. In the Super Bowl, the Cowboys became one of two teams ever to score over 50 points, and would've had more if not for a Leon Lett fumble during a spectacular Dallas Super Bowl performance.
