That doesn’t seem very surprising. By my count, since the last Cowboys title, only 13 of the 32 franchises have won a Superbowl. It takes a lot of things falling into place to build a contender, and even contending does not guarantee championships (just ask my poor 49ers over the same period).
What is a little surprising is that they never even got close.


I don’t know if it’s that clear. By my quick count, of the top ten by injuries, five have grass and five have turf (although the turf owners are a little higher up). Of the bottom four, two have turf (bengals and vikings) and two have grass (jags and chiefs). There are probably a lot of other factors that are more important (athletic conditioning staff, age of roster).
