the nfc's dallas cowboys also celebrated their fiftieth season in 2009. after the nfl had rebuffed lamar hunt's overtures to place an nfl team in dallas, saying they had no plans to expand, the league granted the cowboys a franchise in 1960 in reaction to hunt's afl dallas texans. the nfl's cowboys franchise started out in with a record of no wins, eleven losses and one tie, but has since gone on to appear in eight super bowls (the only other teams to appear in eight was the pittsburgh steelers on february 6, 2011, the new england patriots on february 1, 2015), and the denver broncos on february 7, 2016, winning five of them, tied for second with the san francisco 49ers and the new england patriots, behind only the pittsburgh steelers. ironically, the texans' franchise, which left dallas to become the kansas city chiefs, won super bowl iv, two years before the cowboys won their first. though there was never an actual game between the dallas texans and the cowboys, the 2009 "throwback" game played against kansas city (dallas texans) and the dallas cowboys was played as "the game that never was." the [dallas] cowboys won the game at arrowhead stadium in kansas city, missouri, 26–20 in overtime. strangely, the visiting cowboys wore home throwback jerseys, so both teams wore home uniforms.
