The Dallas Cowboys have played in more Super Bowls (eight) than any other NFL franchise (Pittsburgh has played in seven and won more - 6 - than any other team). The Cowboys, who have won five, also have the second-highest point total for a Super Bowl winner and were the first team to crack the 50-point barrier with their 52-17 win over Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVII. Might that Cowboys' performance be the most dominant in Super Bowl history? The Cowboys would have scored 59 points (at least 58), eclipsing the 49ers' 55 for the highest point total, had Dallas' Leon Lett not been stripped of the football on his way to a touchdown by the Bills' Don Beebe. That was the beginning of the Dallas dynasty in the '90s, the first of three Super Bowl wins in four years. Troy Aikman, never known for his great statistical performances, passed for four touchdowns. But there would be several other teams in the conversation for most convincing Super Bowl win. Here are a few candidates: • XXIV: San Francisco 55, Denver 10 • XX: Chicago 46, New England 10 • XXII: Washington 42, Denver 10 • XXIX: San Francisco 49, San Diego 26 • XXXV: Baltimore 34, N.Y. Giants 7 Was Cowboys' 52-17 Super Bowl XXVII win over Buffalo the most dominant ever?
