"The Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday night. Obviously we all understood over the last few weeks (even before that) how long their odds of going to the postseason were, but things becoming official makes them, well, official. As this is the case it means that the next time that Dallas can reach the playoffs, speaking literally, is the 2026 season."
"Well, The Drought™ will officially turn 30 years old. Again, we assumed it would as the Cowboys had long shot odds to reach the playoffs, but that is over and done with now. In a month's time The Drought™ will officially (not in approximating or rounding sort of way) turn 30 years old. Consider the symmetry here. At that time the Cowboys were winning Super Bowl XXX (30)."
The Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention, making their absence from the postseason official. That elimination means the franchise's next literal chance to reach the playoffs is the 2026 season. The team's postseason drought will turn 30 years old, marking three decades since the Cowboys last reached and won Super Bowl XXX. The drought coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Super Bowl victory, a period during which the franchise added no further Super Bowl wins or appearances. The 30-year gap removes immediate paths to a Super Bowl or conference championship until 2026 at the earliest.
