RECORD: 12-4
SECOND PLACE: NFC EAST
HEAD COACH: TOM LANDRY
Staubach Retires - At a press conference at Texas
Stadium on March 31, quarterback Roger Staubach announced
his retirement after 11 record-breaking years with the
Cowboys. Staubach held all major Cowboys' passing records
and was the all-time leading NFL passer.
Lilly Enters Hall of Fame - Bob Lilly, a seven-time
All-Pro defensive tackle in his 14-year career with the
Cowboys from 1961-74, became the first Cowboys' player
to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Enshrined
along with Lilly on Aug. 2 at Canton, Ohio, were Herb
Adderley, who played for the Cowboys from 1970-71, Jim
Otto and Deacon Jones.
Fifteen Straight Winning Seasons - Behind
new starting quarterback Danny White, the Cowboys rolled
to their 15th consecutive winning season with a surprising
12-4 record, tied for best in the league with Philadelphia
and Atlanta. The Cowboys lost the NFC East title to Philadelphia
on a tie-breaker, but entered the playoffs for the 14th
time in 15 years, this time as a wild card team. The Cowboys
beat Los Angeles 34-13 at Texas Stadium in the NFC Wild
Card Game and rallied past the Falcons at Atlanta 30-27
to advance to the NFC Championship Game at Philadelphia.
But the Cowboys lost 20-7 in their bid for a sixth Super
Bowl appearance.
Landry's 200th Victory - Tom Landry joined George
Halas and Curly Lambeau as the only coaches with 200 NFL
victories when the Cowboys beat Los Angeles 34-13 on Dec.
28 at Texas Stadium in the NFC Wild Card Game, raising
Landry's record to 200-119-6, counting regular season
and playoff games.
