Should the Dallas Cowboys have seven Super Bowl titles instead of five? It’s a fair question. If not for two narrow defeats in 1975 and 1978 at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers, they might be able to say that. Instead, the Steelers became the White Whale for Dallas, that team they could never seem to get past. One would think it was because of that iconic Steel Curtain defense, right?

Not at all. The truth is the man who delighted in ruining the dreams of Dallas fans was quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Of the four Super Bowls he wound up winning, his two against the Cowboys were by far his best performances. He threw for a combined 527 yards with six touchdown passes and just one interception. In both games, it was a late pass from Bradshaw to Lynn Swann that put the score out of reach for Dallas.

It didn’t end there though. Bradshaw was also 3-1 against the Cowboys in the regular season as well, throwing five touchdowns to just one interception in those games. Bradshaw retired with a 5-1 record against America’s team. Nobody else even came close to that.
