Dallas fan cleans up the Zócalo in Mexico City after the team's drought in the NFL

The public's despair of the Dallas Cowboys for not celebrating an NFL title, for the last three decades, causes one of their followers in Mexico to perform a cleansing in the Zócalo Capitalino to make the Jerry Jones franchise champion the Super Bowl again. A video recorded from the heart of Mexico City allows to see a white-haired man with dark glasses extending a flag with the name and image of the Dallas Cowboys while a woman performs a cleansing with smoke and branches. According to several witnesses, this person performed a cleansing and also for their favorite American football team so that they would win the Vince Lombardi, something that has not happened since the 1995-96 season when the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl XXX. Furthermore, the images take an important note about the transcendence of the Dallas Cowboys outside of the United States. Their international reach transforms the Lone Star team into one of the most recognized in the National Football League (NFL) and with hundreds of followers in Mexico despite the drought of titles. How many years has Dallas been without winning a Super Bowl title? A follower of the Dallas Cowboys American football team holds a flag of the club while a practitioner performs a traditional cleansing ritual in the Zócalo of Mexico City. The last crowning of the Dallas Cowboys dates back to January 28, 1996. That day they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 in Super Bowl XXX held at the Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. Since then, the Blue Star has dragged a malaria of 30 years without being an NFL champion. The conquest of Super Bowl XXX was the fifth in the franchise's history. Previously, the Cowboys won the Vince Lombardi of the Super Bowl editions: VI, XII, XXVII, and XXVIII. The Dallas Cowboys won two championships during the 1970s, specifically in the seasons: 1971-72 and 1977-78. Subsequently, they were proclaimed two-time NFL champions by winning the title in the periods: 1992-93 and 1993-94. The victory in the 1995-96 season completed a streak of three crowns in four seasons. No franchise had achieved three Super Bowls in a span of four years then, but that glory is forgotten by the 30 years that the Dallas Cowboys have not celebrated a league title. The contrast is evident: the team that during the 90s seemed destined to prolong a dynasty, was stalled in five NFL championships, paving the way for other teams to surpass Dallas in terms of titles won in American football. During the 21st century, the dynasty of the New England Patriots, led by the GOAT, Tom Brady, sealed six NFL stars between 2002 and 2019 to equal the Pittsburgh Steelers and leave behind the Dallas Cowboys who, in the new millennium, do not even reach the conference final in their desire to play one more game for the NFL championship. Dallas, the only NFC team competing in a conference final in the 21st century The Cowboys are the only NFC franchise that does not compete in a conference final since the beginning of the 21st century. Their last appearance occurred on January 14, 1996, when they defeated the Green Bay Packers 38-27, led by Brett Favre, during their passage to win Super Bowl XXX. The status of being the only team in the National Conference with that drought was sealed in January 2025. The Washington Commanders, who had not reached a NFC playoff since 1991, defeated the Detroit Lions in the divisional round and broke a 33-year streak. A year earlier, Detroit had already ended its own drought. From those results, the other franchises of the National Football Conference (NFC) registered at least one participation in a conference final after that of the Dallas Cowboys. In contrast, the streak of the Cowboys is not the longest in the entire NFL. In the American conference, the Cleveland Browns have not played a conference final since 1989 and the Miami Dolphins have not since 1992. The Houston Texans, which joined the League in 2002, still have not reached that stage as of today. Three decades without fighting for the crown: chronology of the Dallas Cowboys' drought in the NFL - January 14, 1996: Dallas defeats the Green Bay Packers and plays their last conference final. - January 28, 1996: The Cowboys defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 and win Super Bowl XXX, the last in their history. - Since 1996: The Cowboys have five playoff victories, however, their presence in a conference final is unprecedented; they do not play that stage since the season they were the NFL champions for the last time. - January 2025: The Washington Commanders end their drought and the Dallas Cowboys remain as the only NFC team without a conference final in the 21st century. - October 13, 2026: The ritual with the team's flag goes viral in Mexico from the Zócalo Capitalino amidst a start in the 2026-27 season with a record of 2-3.
