1 brutal graph shows just how far behind the Cowboys are to other Dallas-area teams in recent playoff success

Cowboys Dallas Harrison Butker

While ESPN’s SportsCenter was just presenting a factual graph about Dallas-area sports teams, the Dallas Cowboys caught some hysterical grief for how they’ve done in the playoffs lately compared to their fellow city franchises.

The graph showed the last time that all Dallas-area teams have reached their respective conference finals, which is within the last season for the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers.

For the Cowboys, well, it’s been a whopping 28 seasons since reaching the NFC championship game. That is absolutely brutal.

As much as the Cowboys are one of the most talked-about teams in professional sports, it sure looks like we should be paying much more attention to the Mavericks, Stars and Rangers until the Cowboys can end this 28-season conference drought.

If you’re a Dallas sports fan, you’ve had a pretty great run lately… outside of the Cowboys, of course. Until they can find more success in the playoffs, they’ll have to cede the spotlight to the other Dallas-area teams.
