The Dallas Cowboys’ lack of playoff success over the last 30 years is well-documented.
Dallas hasn’t reached a conference championship game since the 1995 season, and they are 2-5 in the playoffs under current quarterback Dak Prescott. In an interview with CBS Sports, Cowboys legend Ed “Too Tall” Jones gave his opinion as to why Dallas can’t get over the playoff hump.
“If you look at these teams now that make the playoffs, like Buffalo, Baltimore, all those teams, they don’t have anybody on those teams that won a Super Bowl in that locker room,” Jones said. “The regular season is the regular season. It is what it is. To be a champion, you’ve got to be able to get to another level. What separates good players and good teams is teams who have players who can go to another level in big games. Every general manager in the league should be out trying to pick up a guy that gets cut or something that’s been to a Super Bowl and put him in that locker room. It makes a big difference.”
While head coach Mike McCarthy won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers, the only starter on the Cowboys’ roster who has played in a Super Bowl is receiver Brandin Cooks.
