Answer: Clint Murchison, Jr. and Bedford Wynne

The NFL approved an NFL franchise for the city of Dallas in 1960 to Clint Murchison, Jr. and Bedford Wynne. The NFL awarded a franchise license to Dallas in order to establish an NFL presence in the city, as Lamar Hunt had just established the AFL and had created his own franchise, the Dallas Texans.

The Dallas Texans eventually moved to Kansas City and became the Kansas City Chiefs. Murchison and Wynne eventually sold Cowboys to Bum Bright in 1984, and he sold the Cowboys to Jerry Jones in 1989.

The NFL and AFL merged in 1970. There were four Super Bowls played before the two leagues became one.

The AFL-NFL Championship game was later named the "Super Bowl", taking that name for the first time in Super Bowl III.

Answer: Tony Romo

Quincy Carter started all 16 games in 2003, leading the Cowboys to a Wild Card playoff game against the Carolina Panthers. In the 2006 season, Drew Bledsoe was the starter for the first six games of the season. However, Tony Romo took over as quarterback at halftime during a game against the New York Giants and became the starter for the rest of the year, starting ten games.

He led the Cowboys to a Wild Card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, losing on a last second botched field goal attempt. Tony led the Cowboys to an NFC East title and a Divisional Playoff game after posting a 13-3 record in the 2007 season, starting all 16 games.

Unfortunately, the Cowboys lost this game to the division rival New York Giants, who went on to win Super Bowl XLII. Tony started all 16 games of the 2009 season, leading the Cowboys to an NFC East title and a Wild Card playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

They won this game 34-14 and then lost to the Minnesota Vikings 34-3 in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

Answer: 20

After the Dallas Cowboys' first winning season in 1966, the Cowboys did not have another losing season until 1986.
Interesting fact: the Dallas Cowboys' record in 1982 was 6-3. A players' strike before the 1982 season led to a shortened 9 game season. This is the lowest win total in a winning season for the Dallas Cowboys.
