How Long Has It Been Since the Dallas Cowboys Won a Playoff Game? A Deep Dive (That Isn't Too Deep)
Ah, the Dallas Cowboys. America's Team, they call them. A team steeped in rich history, legendary players, and... a somewhat questionable recent playoff performance. Let's tackle the elephant in the room, shall we? Just how long has it ACTUALLY been since the Cowboys basked in the glorious light of a playoff victory?
Hold onto your Stetsons, folks, because the answer might surprise you (or maybe it won't). Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a journey that's both thrilling (sorta) and slightly depressing (but mostly thrilling... hopefully).
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
How Long Has It Been Since Dallas Won A Playoff Game |
A Recent Memory (-ish)
Believe it or not, you don't need to dust off your ancient history books. The last time the Cowboys emerged victorious in the playoffs was in the thrilling 2022-2023 season. Yes, you read that right. Not 1995, not the Reagan era, but a mere 16 months ago (give or take a few misplaced extra points by kicker Brett Baher, but we don't talk about that). They stomped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-14 in the Wild Card round, a game likely etched in Tom Brady's memory as his final NFL outing.

So, why the long face, Dallas fans? A win is a win, right? Well, yes, but also... that's where the good times ended. The Cowboys sadly fell short in the Divisional Round to the San Francisco 49ers. But hey, a win is a win, and at least it wasn't another decade-long playoff drought, right?

A Glimpse into the Before Times
Now, if you're craving a good dose of nostalgia (or maybe want to feel even older), let's rewind a bit further. The Cowboys' previous playoff win before the 2022 season came in the distant land of... 2018. Yes, those were simpler times, a time when fidget spinners were all the rage and "Despacito" was on repeat.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
Moral of the story? The Cowboys haven't exactly been playoff powerhouses in recent years. But fear not, loyal fans! There's always next season, and with Dak Prescott at the helm, anything is possible. Maybe this time they'll avoid the dreaded "one-and-done" fate and make a deeper playoff run.
In the meantime, here are some fun activities to keep yourself occupied while you wait for the next Cowboys playoff win:
- Teach your goldfish how to do the wave.
- Master the art of competitive napping.
- Take up underwater basket weaving (it's a thing, trust me).
Stay strong, Dallas fans! Your team's glory days aren't over... hopefully.
