The US Football History of Dallas Cowboys Book

LATE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER at Sun Devil Stadium, the tension was thick enough to grip. Pittsburgh kept pushing, desperate to claw back, but the Cowboys’ defense refused to crack. Aikman steps back … complete to Irvin! Smith pounds ahead for more yardage — every snap edging Dallas closer. After years of chasing a third title in four seasons, it feels within reach, yet the nerves are relentless. Then … the final whistle. Dallas 27, Pittsburgh 17. The 1995 champions!
