Cowboys Kickoff Countdown: Celebrating the Top 100 Iconic Games – Day 36
On Day 36 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff, we reflect on the 1966 NFL Championship Game, marking the first major heartbreak in Dallas Cowboys history. Held on January 1, 1967, at the Cotton Bowl, the game pitted the Cowboys against the seasoned Green Bay Packers. Dallas, in its seventh season, had risen to a 10-3-1 record under coach Tom Landry, but struggled against Green Bay’s experienced roster. Despite a fierce comeback effort, the Cowboys fell short, losing 34-27, just two yards shy of forcing overtime. This game underscored both their potential and the challenges ahead in franchise history.
