H.R. No. 160
R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, The Dallas Cowboys have proven themselves to be a
1-2 team without equal in the National Football League (NFL) by
1-3 crushing the Buffalo Bills 52-17 on January 31, 1993, and claiming
1-4 the Super Bowl XXVII championship; and
1-5 WHEREAS, In their storied history, the Dallas Cowboys have
1-6 made a record-setting six Super Bowl appearances, establishing the
1-7 silver and blue as the premier franchise in the NFL; and
1-8 WHEREAS, Undaunted by an early Buffalo touchdown, this
1-9 superior group of athletes and coaches assumed total control of the
1-10 contest, dominating their opponent both offensively and defensively
1-11 en route to a 35-point Cowboy triumph, the third highest margin of
1-12 victory in Super Bowl history; and
1-13 WHEREAS, Led by Super Bowl most valuable player Troy Aikman
1-14 and Emmitt Smith, the Dallas offense combined a slashing running
1-15 attack with a devastating aerial assault, tallying the second
1-16 highest point total in Super Bowl history and leaving a dejected
1-17 Buffalo defensive squad in its wake; and
1-18 WHEREAS, Not to be outdone, the Cowboy defense gave a
1-19 magnificent effort, taking the ball from the vaunted Buffalo
1-20 offense nine times and denying the Bills the end zone in a spirited
1-21 goal-line stand that will take its place in the annals of
1-22 professional football history as one of the great achievements by a
1-23 defensive unit; and
1-24 WHEREAS, This resounding Dallas victory would have been
2-1 impossible without the tireless efforts of head coach Jimmy Johnson
2-2 and his assistants, who masterminded the blueprint for victory and
2-3 kept this incomparable group of athletes focused on the task at
2-4 hand; and
2-5 WHEREAS, In attaining this ultimate achievement in the sport
2-6 of football, team owner Jerry Jones, head coach Jimmy Johnson, and
2-7 the Dallas Cowboys have brought gridiron greatness back to the
2-8 State of Texas, the nation's football heartland, and their supreme
2-9 accomplishments have rightfully earned them special legislative
2-10 recognition; now, therefore, be it
2-11 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
2-12 Legislature hereby commend Jerry Jones, head coach Jimmy Johnson,
2-13 and the Dallas Cowboys on their victory in Super Bowl XXVII and
2-14 extend to them best wishes for continued success; and, be it
2-15 further
2-16 RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
2-17 for the team and coaching staff as an expression of high regard by
2-18 the Texas House of Representatives.
