Synopsis
Talent is a cure-all in the NFL. That's the lesson of the 1993 Dallas Cowboys. That season, the Cowboys were saddled with injuries, a key holdout, and tension between the owner and head coach. But Dallas overcame all those distractions thanks largely to the star power of its roster. For starters, the Dallas "Triplets" were in their primes. Quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and wide receiver Michael Irvin were among the best at their positions. In all, 11 Cowboys were named to the Pro Bowl, including eight on offense. Still, the Cowboys got off to a discouraging start, losing their first two games while Smith sat out due to a contract dispute. From there, Smith got his new deal, and the team had new life. Dallas became the first team to begin a year 0-2 and go on to win a Super Bowl. Join NFL Films as they retell the story of the '93 Cowboys, a club that never succumbed to controversy. America's Game uses exclusive interviews with Smith, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Bates to recount Big D's championship season.
