In terms of recent success, the Dallas Cowboys are significantly different from the teams that surround them.
After winning Game 6 of the series on Saturday night, the Dallas Mavericks advanced to the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Mavs are making their second round appearance in the previous three years. The Dallas Stars had also advanced to the Western Conference Finals less than twenty-four hours earlier, courtesy of a double-overtime match in their own Game 6. The Stars are making their second consecutive round appearance.
In Major League Baseball, the Texas Rangers advanced to their own conference finals in the American League Championship Series since they won the World Series the previous season. You understand exactly where we are taking this.
The Dallas Cowboys are the only DFW team to not reach the conference finals in the last year.
To be fair, the Dallas Cowboys did make it to the postseason the previous season, so the metroplex can at least brag that all four of its major sports teams made it that far in their final postseason run. However, the Cowboys are obviously superior to the Rangers, Stars, and Mavericks—all of which are at least one round away from a championship match, with the former having won it all in their endeavor.
