155 Team USA

Once the regular season begins, the dates are counted on the day of the game, with four days to go and three days to go...... The victory of the first race has not yet had time to savor, and the second race is already waiting around the corner of the street.

In the second week of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers will continue to sit at home against the Dallas Cowboys!

The most successful teams in the history of the NFL are the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers, the Green Bay Packers, and the New England Patriots, who have risen strongly since the 21st century. But when it comes to history and heritage, the first four teams are the top in the league.

The Dallas Cowboys don't have a long history, the team was founded in 1960, and although the name is "Dallas," the team's home stadium is in Irving, Texas. Despite being a "young" team, they have a stellar record, reaching the Super Bowl eight times and winning five championship rings.

They are one of the most successful teams in NFL history, making the most playoff appearances and sharing the title of most Super Bowl appearances with the Pittsburgh Steelers; They are also the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in four years – and the New England Patriots became the second in the first decade of the 21st century.

Historically, the top glory of the Dallas cowboys was in two eras, one in the seventies and the other in the nineties.

From the thirties to the sixties, Hollywood western films in the United States reached their heyday, and although they gradually declined after entering the seventies, their influence on the younger generation continued. As a result, the "cowboy" image of the Dallas Cowboys has just rightly entered thousands of homes and has become the most widely known and popular team.

According to league surveys, the Dallas Cowboys have a clear advantage in the percentage of fans in the state that does not have a football team.

At the peak of the Cowboys, their team alone accounted for 40 percent of the league's sports merchandise sales; Currently, the Dallas Cowboys are also the only team in the league that independently markets sports merchandise.

As a result, the Dallas Cowboys are also known as the "American Team".

At present, among the most commercially valuable teams in the world released by Forbes, the Dallas Cowboys rank first and have won the championship position for eight consecutive years, far ahead of many European football teams.

According to numerical estimates, the market value of Dallas denim is more than four billion dollars; Real Madrid, the runner-up, is $3.2 billion. As for the NBA, which has been the most commercially successful in Asia, the team with the highest value will reach one billion dollars.

Needless to say, the Dallas Cowboys are the most influential team in the league!

In the night game broadcast, the Dallas Cowboys are undoubtedly the biggest darling of the league, and on average, two to three night games are scheduled each season, which is a common thing; At the same time, they are also the most concerned, stressed, and discussed team in the league. Being in the Dallas Cowboy is like being in the spotlight.

One is the league's most commercially valuable team, the other is the league's most historic team, and both teams are the most successful teams in league history, and in the same National League division, the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers are sparkling in every meeting, arguably the most famous pair of bitter enemies in league history.

The two teams have met a total of 35 times in their history, with the San Francisco 49ers winning 17 times, losing 17 times, and drawing once. However, the San Francisco 49ers had the upper hand in the regular season and fell behind in the playoffs — the San Francisco 49ers went 2-5 in the playoffs.

In 1970, 1971 and 1972, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the San Francisco 49ers for three consecutive years, the first two of which were National League finals and successfully reached the Super Bowl.

In 1981, in the National League final, the Dallas Cowboys met the San Francisco 49ers again. Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, the leader of the 49ers, led the team to a last-minute connection with wide receiver Dight-Clark for a stunning comeback.

This pass and catch is also famous and recorded in the history of the entire league, and has its own unique name - "The-Catch". But when people talk about "The-Catch", they refer specifically to this pass in the 1981 Nations League final.

After this battle, the sworn enemies of the alliance have truly formed an enmity with each other!

In 1992, 1993 and 1994, the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys met in the National League finals for three consecutive years, the first two times, the Cowboys won, and the third time, the 49ers won; At the same time, the winners of these three games ended up winning the Super Bowl that year.

It is worth mentioning that the Dallas Cowboys have entered the Super Bowl eight times and won the final five times, and three of these five victories have defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the National League finals and won the championship in one go!

For the Dallas Cowboys, the 49ers are the goddess of luck, and it seems that as long as they win them, it means that the Super Bowl is beckoning; But for the San Francisco 49ers, the Cowboys are a mortal disgrace, and every playoff matchup is a life-and-death duel.

What's more, in addition to the teams themselves, the matchup between these two teams also maintains the matchup between California and Texas.

The former represents the rich and open coastal areas, and the latter represents the rural areas with strong people. Class contradictions are irreconcilable, and differences in cultural qualities cannot be communicated, so every time the two teams play, all the excitement and enthusiasm of the people are pinned on them, which also makes the rivalry of the league's sworn enemies more and more sparkling.

However, in the second half of the 90s, the league's famous and fateful rivals both fell into a trough, and the spark of the duel was mixed with a hint of bitterness.

The San Francisco 49ers have failed to make the playoffs for eight consecutive years; The Dallas Cowboys have only made the playoffs in 2006 in the last eight years. Now, both teams are struggling in the quagmire and looking forward to returning to the top in the future.

Over the past few seasons, the rivalry between the two teams has weakened. No matter how brilliant and exciting the history is, the clash between the two weak teams still lacks the highlights after all, and the attention and spark index are no longer exciting.

This year, the situation seems to have changed. In the second week of the regular season, the league officially made an official report early, listing the San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys matchup as "the most watchable game of the week".

First, both teams showed signs of recovery in their first week of competition.

The Dallas Cowboys' match against the New York Jets took the stage of Sunday night games, and in the face of the Jets, who won 11-5 last year, the Cowboys showed strong tenacity, and finally won a hard-fought victory with a score of "27-24".

In the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, they showed a strong strength to sweep through the thousands of troops, and the firepower on the offensive end was full of firepower, suppressing the opponent's defensive group to the death, dominating the game with an absolute advantage, and finally achieved a "35-17" victory. The smooth and unanimous offense made the loyal supporters of the 49ers excited.

Two teams with history, past and spark, after years of silence, are once again showing momentum and are about to face off in this week's game, each looking to continue their winning streak and continue their strong performances to start a long season.

However, there is only one winner.

Second, the starting quarterbacks of the two teams will face off.

The leading quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is Tony Romo, and there are countless undrafted rookies in the league, but there is only one undrafted rookie to become the main quarterback, and there is no other semicolon - Kurt Warner did not participate in the draft at all.

In his three-and-a-half-year bench career, he was almost fired or traded by the team at least three times, but Romo finally waited for his chance, and after serving as the starting quarterback, Romo was lucky enough to appear on the stage of Sunday Night and Thanksgiving Night games, and won the recognition of fans with his wonderful performances.

As Team USA's quarterback, Romo gradually established himself and led the team to the playoffs in 2006.

But it was also this season that Romo experienced the most famous "The-Fumble" in league history.

In the first round of the playoffs, Romo led the team to challenge the Seattle Seahawks away, with seventy-nine seconds left before the end of the game, the Cowboys fell behind "20:21", Romo led the team to advance to the first two yards of the Seahawks' end area, and the three blocks of the offense were fruitless, and then as long as they scored a free kick, the Cowboys could complete the reversal.

To ensure safety, Romo plays the ball handler – the center passes the ball, the handler receives the ball, and after the rugby ball is set, the kicker kicks the ball.

However, Romo's hands trembled and the rugby ball fell to the ground. The kicker couldn't get up at all, and in desperation, Romo had to pick up the rugby ball and rush the ball, but unfortunately, he failed. Eventually, the Cowboys were also eliminated.

Thus, "The-Fumble" was born. This also became the source of Romo's name as a "master of mistakes"; So, according to his English name "Romo", domestic rugby fans affectionately call him "Meat Foam" teacher.

Still, over the next four years, Romo became a leading figure for the Dallas Cowboys and is considered one of the top quarterbacks closest to an elite quarterback.

Now, after Tony Romo, another rookie starting quarterback has been born: Lu Ke of the San Francisco 49ers, and he is also a Chinese-American quarterback.

Lu Ke's current career is lackluster, with only one game to spare, and he still needs to prove himself slowly. However, this game handed over a near-perfect score and a near-perfect answer.

So, can Lu Ke become the second Romo? And against Romo, can Lu Ke continue to perform? Can Lu Ke beat Romo? Or is it that after twelve o'clock, the magic disappears and Cinderella becomes Cinderella again?
