Cowboys countdown to kickoff: Top 100 iconic games

June 6, 2026 - 20:20

With 99 days remaining until the Dallas Cowboys open their season, the team has launched a countdown of the 100 most memorable games in franchise history. The series, which runs daily until kickoff, revisits the moments that defined the star across decades of NFL football.

Day 99 kicks off the list with a game that set the tone for the Cowboys' legacy of dramatic finishes. While the full lineup remains under wraps, the selection process focused on games that changed the course of seasons, showcased legendary performances, or delivered unforgettable playoff drama. From the early years under Tom Landry to the modern era, the list spans Super Bowl victories, divisional battles, and regular-season thrillers that still spark debate among fans.

The countdown is a reminder of how deeply the Cowboys are woven into the fabric of professional football. Each entry includes key plays, player highlights, and the context of what was at stake. For a franchise with five Lombardi Trophies and a long list of Hall of Fame players, narrowing it down to 100 games was no small task.

As the days tick down, expect to see classics like the Ice Bowl, the 1992 NFC Championship, and the 2014 wild-card shootout against the Lions. But the series also aims to shine a light on lesser-known games that had a lasting impact on the team's identity. Whether you remember every snap or just the final score, this countdown offers a chance to relive the highs and lows that made the Cowboys America's Team.
