==History and League Success==
The Cowboys entered the league as an expansion team in 1960, the same year that the American Football League began play (and also placed a team in Dallas). Though the Cowboys would have far less on-field success (losing all but one game its inaugural season, that being a tie with the New York Giants), they would outlast the AFL team in Dallas, which would relocate and become the [[Kansas City Chiefs]].

For the first three decades the team was led by [[Tom Landry]] (a devout Methodist) and, led by quarterback [[Roger Staubach]] (a devout Catholic), the team would ultimately play in five [[Super Bowl]]s, winning two. Overall, the Cowboys have played in eight Super Bowls (second-most behind the [[New England Patriots]]), winning five (tied with the [[San Francisco 49ers]] for second-most behind the Patriots and the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]]). The Cowboys and Steelers have the distinction of being the only teams to face each other in three different Super Bowls.
