Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a National Football League team based in the city of Irving, in Dallas County, Texas. The Cowboys joined the NFL as a 1960 expansion team. The team is sometimes referred to colloquially as America's Team due its having a large number of fans who live outside its immediate local area (the term itself is derived from the title of the team's 1979 highlight film). The Cowboys are one of the most successful teams in the history of the NFL, holding the record for the most Super Bowl appearances (8), and tie the San Francisco 49ers with the most Super Bowl wins (5).
