Arlington, TX — It’s been a wild ride for the Dallas Cowboys, but they’ve done it! After a nail-biting finish to the NFC Championship game, the Cowboys have advanced to the Super Bowl for the third time in their franchise history. With the Miami Dolphins waiting for them in the big game, it’s sure to be an exciting matchup. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at how the Cowboys got to this point and what kind of game we can expect from them in the Super Bowl. So, buckle up, Cowboys fans, it’s time to see if the Cowboys can get the job done!

How about them Cowboys?

It’s been a long road for America’s team to get to the Super Bowl, but the Cowboys have finally made it. After going 14-3 in the regular season and defeating the New York Giants in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, Dallas earned their first NFC Championship since Season 23 with a win over the Minnesota Vikings.


The game was a hard-fought victory, as both teams battled back and forth throughout the game. Dallas’ defense held strong in key moments, making it difficult for Minnesota to get into scoring position. On offense, quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott led an effective ground attack that kept drives alive and moved the chains downfield. Prescott also had some impressive passes, connecting with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on several big plays that set up scores.

The Cowboys’ victory marked their third trip to the Super Bowl in franchise history; they previously won championships in Season 19 and Season 25. With such a talented roster of players like Prescott, Elliott, Lamb, and more–as well as one of the best coaches in football in Andres Perez — the entire league will be watching as Dallas looks to add another Super Bowl title to its trophy case.

Close game until the end

The Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings faced off in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, each team vying for a spot in the 2K Online Franchise Super Bowl. It was an intense contest that saw both teams fight tooth and nail until the very end.

In the first quarter, both teams traded offensive blows with neither team able to gain any real advantage. The Cowboys managed to take a four-point lead into halftime thanks to a late touchdown by Prescott to Lamb. However, the Vikings kept things close by limiting the Cowboys’ lead to just four points before the half.

The second half was equally as competitive as both teams fought for every yard of turf they could get their hands on. The Vikings’ defense stepped up and managed to keep Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott contained for most of the second half. On offense, Kirk Cousins was able to move downfield but couldn’t find enough success through the air or on the ground to get points on board.

The Vikings failed to score any more points in their last few drives, leaving the Cowboys victorious at 33–38 and advancing to their third Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.
