The Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints will face off for the 30th time Sunday night in the Big Easy. Interestingly, none of the previous 29 contests were post-season affairs, making New Orleans the only NFC team the Cowboys have never faced in the playoffs.

And while the Cowboys and Saints have enjoyed a spirited rivalry of big, exciting games throughout the 21st century, the same cannot be said of the team’s 20th century match-ups. In fact, Dallas (like many teams) thoroughly dominated that Saints from 1967 until 1988.
