Many people believe that the defense is the most important element of an NFL team. However, the Dallas Cowboys head coach isn’t one of them. Mike McCarthy, who has already won a Super Bowl as a head coach, thinks that one other thing is more important than defense. According to McCarthy, “Defense wins championships, but the Super Bowl is won by the quarterback.” Mike McCarthy won the Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback. He knows how important a QB is for a team. He believes that Dak Prescott [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dak-prescott/] is the most important player for the Cowboys if they want to win the Super Bowl. Last season, they made immense progress but faced a disappointing loss [https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-nfl-playoffs-what-we-learned-from-49ers-win-over-cowboys-on-super-wild-card] in the NFC Wildcard Game.

McCarthy’s position as head coach was also jeopardized as a result. However, the franchise showed their trust in him. They believe that he is the right man to take them to the Super Bowl. MAKING A PROGRESS THIS SEASON WILL BE TOUGH FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS Last season, although they faced a disappointing loss to the 49ers in the first playoff game, the Dallas Cowboys [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/dallas-cowboys/] won their division and made the playoffs. However, reaching the playoffs this time around won’t be a cakewalk for America’s team.

Mandatory Credit: David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports| Reuters In the off-season, the Philadelphia Eagles [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/] have gotten stronger. They will give the Cowboys a tough fight to win the division title. The Commanders have also got a new quarterback in Carson Wentz, and you never know about him. As a result, the Cowboys, led by Dak Prescott, will be required to be at their best throughout the season. Mike McCarthy will be required to prove he is the right man for this high-pressure job. Any small slip-ups along the way could cause them to miss the playoffs. If that happens, then maybe Jerry Jones will take some tough decisions.

<h2>Dallas Cowboys: 2024 Roster, Players, Schedule, Super Bowl Wins and More</h2>
Founded by Clint Murchinson Jr, the Dallas Cowboys first saddled up in 1960 and soon became the Americaâ€™s Team. Well, thatâ€™s the name they are called by! The franchise is a professional American football team based in the Dallas â€“ Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys are the most expensive franchise in NFL history, and currently belong to the NFC East division.Â 

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224233" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1035402245h.jpg" alt="" />

Having over 8.5 million fans online and a â€˜Lone Starâ€™ on their helmet, the team is one of the most popular franchises in the league. The Cowboys play currently at Arlington, Texas, and their practice facility is in Frisco, Texas. This Blue and White squad, which has won 5 Super Bowl Championships (1971, 1977, 1992, 1993, 1995), and 24 division championships, are known for a large, loyal fanbase and a rich history of success.
<h2>A look into the history of the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
The Dallas Cowboys' story began in 1960 with Clint Murchison Jr. founding the team. He brought professional football to Dallas after overcoming many hurdles, including a bitter rivalry with Washington Redskins owner, George Preston Marshall. This rivalry happened because when Murchison Jr. was determined to bring an NFL team to Dallas, he needed a unanimous vote from the leagueâ€™s owners. And Marshall, whom he had a falling out, was the one blocking him. Hence, in a clever move, Murchison paid just $2500 to get Marshallâ€™s support, and that vote secured Dallas its own NFL team. And then after difficult negotiations, Murchison finally brought the Cowboys to life, marking the start of the historic franchise.

However, in terms of performance, despite early struggles, they didn't find real success until 1966 when they began an incredible 20-season winning streak. This streak included 18 playoff appearances and five Super Bowl trips. During the 70s and 80s, they became â€œAmerica's Team,â€ with legends like Roger Staubach and Tony Dorsett leading the charge. Then by 1989, Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys, replacing long-time coach Tom Landry with Jimmy Johnson. Jones quickly rebuilt the team, leading them to multiple Super Bowl wins in the '90s, securing their reputation as a powerhouse. Today, the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world, worth over $9 billion, selling out stadiums and continuously adding to their legacy. Their current home, AT&amp;T Stadium, has become an iconic venue for one of football's most storied franchises.
<h2>Notable milestones and achievements</h2>
The Dallas Cowboys have been to Super Bowls eight times and have won five (VI, XII, XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX). In addition to that, they also have won 8 NFC championships so far. However, the most notable seasons for the team were in the 1970s and 1990s. During the 1970s period, the Cowboys played in 6 NFC championships, and won 105 regular season games.Â 

[caption id="attachment_1164136" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1164136" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-639829730.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1296" /> ATLANTA, GA - JANUARY 30: Head coach Jimmy Johnson of the Dallas Cowboys celebrates as they defeat the Buffalo Bill in Super Bowl XXVIII on January 30, 1994 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia.

Besides it in the 1990s, quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and wide receiver Michael Irvin led the Cowboysâ€™ offense to a different level. This triplet helped the franchise to a 52-12 regular season record and 3 Super Bowl championships in 4 years, winning Super Bowls XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX.Â 
<h2>Major rivalries of the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders: Due to their founder Clint Murchison Jr.â€™s bad blood with Washingtonâ€™s then owner, George Preston Marshall, the rivalry has been established, and is continued till date. They have faced off each other 128 times, with the Dallas Cowboys winning 78 games and the Washington Commanders winning 48 games.

Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles: This is a 63 year-long intra-divisional rivalry with the two teams contained in the same division since 1961. They have met each other 130 times, in which the Eagles have won 56 games, while the Cowboys have 74 games in hand.

Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants: Perhaps their 31-31 tie in their first face off has led to this rivalry, besides the NFC East factor. They have played 124 times with each other. Cowboys have won 75 while Giants have won 47, with two ties till date.

He made his debut against the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-york-giants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New York Giants</a> in Week 1. However, his opening NFL game ended in defeat as Dallas lost by a 20-19 margin. But that did not stop Dak who went on to lead the Cowboys to a 13-3 record and the NFC East title in his rookie year.

They did lose to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/green-bay-packers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Green Bay Packers</a> in the playoffs but Prescott was named to the Pro Bowl and even voted the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year ahead of teammate Ezekiel Elliott, receiving 28 of 50 votes. He made his debut on the NFL Top 100 List at number 14 the following year.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dak Prescott Record</h2>
Dak Prescott broke the record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception to start a career, with 176 attempts in Week 6 of the 2016 season. Tom Brady previously held the record. Prescott finished his 2016 rookie regular season with a record 11 games with an over 100 NFL passer rating, breaking the rookie record of nine games set by Russell Wilson in 2012.
He tied the Ben Roethlisberger 2004 rookie record of winning 13 games as a starter. Prescott threw 23 touchdowns and 4 interceptions for a touchdown to interception ratio of 5.75 breaking the previous rookie record of 4.00 (20 touchdowns and 5 interceptions) set by Robert Griffin III, and for a touchdown to interception differential of 19 breaking Russell Wilson's rookie record of 16.
In a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 18, 2016, Prescott, with an 88.9% completion percentage, broke the rookie single-game record of 87.0% set by Mike Glennon in 2013.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Dak Prescott Net Worth</h2>
The Cowboys number 4 reportedly has a net worth of $2 million as per <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nfl/dak-prescott-net-worth/#:~:text=Dak%20Prescott%20net%20worth%3A%20Dak,Sulphur%2C%20Louisiana%20in%20July%201993." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrity Net Worth</a>. However, we suspect that they haven't taken into account his massive $31.4 million franchise tag which was activated prior to the 2020 NFL season.

In addition to that, it is being reported that Dak earns five-times his on-field salary from his endorsement deals with Adidas, Pepsi and other brands. He earns further revenue from his licensing deals. So his net worth remains shrouded in a bit of a grey cloud.
