The Cowboys have faced the previous season's
NFL / Super Bowl Champion -3- times. This sea-
son's opener tonight will be the 4th time that has
occurred.

The Cowboys have defeated the defending NFL /
Super Bowl Champion all -3- times they've faced
them in season openers (see slide 6 in the follow-
ing article): https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/big-facts-0-5-vs-brady-but-perfect-vs-sb-champs

o In 2012, season opener vs NFL / Super Bowl
Champion New York Giants, the Cowboys won
24 to 17
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201209050nyg.htm

o In 1992, season opener vs NFL / Super Bowl
Champion Washington Redskins, the Cowboys
won 23 to 10, 1992 the season the Cowboys won
their 3rd of 5 wins, 3 losses in Super Bowls.

o In 1983, season opener vs NFL / Super Bowl
Champion Washington Redskins, the Cowboys
won 31 to 30 at Washington despite being down
3 to 23 at the half
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198309050was.htm

Unfortunately, this is the 1st time the Cowboys
have faced a non-NFC-East NFL / Super Bowl
champion in the season opener, but hey, des-
pite Super Bowl Champs winning 18 of the last
21 season openers, the Cowboys were 1 of the
3 teams able to upset the defending champs ...

.... in the season opener, & have not yet lost a
season opener to a defending NFL / Super Bowl
Champion. However, oddsmakers had the Bucs
as a 6.5 favorite a month ago, & have upped that
to 8.5 points after Dak's shoulder injury / lack of
preseason playing time + Zack Martin lost due to
a Covid restriction in game one.

Follow-up:

I neglected to include a link to the Cowboys
win over the defending champion Redskins
in 1992, so here's that link (also included in
context where it should have appeared in
the previous post):
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199209070dal.htm

Another interesting fact, the Cowboys won the
season opener after all -5- of their NFL / Super
Bowl Championships -and- after all -3- of the
NFL / Super Bowl Championship losses, veri-
fiable via links at Dallas Cowboys Franchise
Encyclopedia:
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/

Add that to the things that make one go hmmm,
perhaps of value to individuals who like bringing
up little known interesting trivia at parties. (-;
