The Cowboys set a franchise mark by winning 13 games in 1992.

The Cowboys did well in the first three rounds of the 1992 draft, highlighted with the selection of Arizona State safety Darren Woodson.

In 1991, the Cowboys finished with their best record since 1983 and won a playoff game for the first time since 1982.

Backup QB Steve Beuerlein replaced an injured Troy Aikman and helped the Cowboys to win five straight to end the 1991 season.

The Cowboys had an up-and-down season for much of 1991, and by mid-November, Dallas had a 6-5 record.

Critics thought the 1991 Cowboys would probably finish at 8-8, even with their influx of new talent.

The 1991 draft was one of the greatest in team history, resulting in seven players who eventually became starters for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys improvement from 1-15 in 1989 to 7-9 in 1990 helped to improve the reputations of Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. Things were going to get even better very quickly.

Thanks to a four-game winning streak, the Cowboys stood at 7-7 and would earn a playoff berth win a win in either of its final two games. However, an injury to Troy Aikman in week 15 effectively ended the season.

The Cowboys will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2010, 11 years after celebrating their 40th and 26 years after celebrating their 25th.
