When the Broncos travel to Arlington to face the Cowboys this Sunday, it’ll mark just the 14th time ever these two teams have faced off against one another. And yet, one of the most memorable moments in Cowboys franchise history came against Denver.
That would be Super Bowl XII. Tom Landry’s Cowboys had been on a tear through the regular season, finishing 12-2 and earning the top seed in the playoffs. They beat both the Bears and Vikings by three or more touchdowns to reach the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
There, they faced the similarly 12-2 Broncos, who Dallas actually beat 14-6 in their regular-season finale.
