BACK-TO-BACK
(Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, since January 1971, there have been 23 Super
Bowl games to crown the champion of professional football. The Dallas
Cowboys have played in 7 of those 23 games--more than any other NFL
team.
Sunday, the Cowboys won their fourth Super Bowl--tying them with San
Francisco and Pittsburgh for the most Super Bowl victories.
No Cowboy victory was ever sweeter than this 30-13 triumph over the
Buffalo Bills. As coach Jimmy Johnson remarked following the game, this
has been a difficult year for the Cowboys.
They started off losing their first two games while their star
running back Emmitt Smith was in contract negotiations and not on the
field. They endured key injuries to key players like quarterback Troy
Aikman, center Mark Stepnoski, defensive end Charles Haley, defensive
tackle Russell Maryland, and Emmitt Smith.
But they kept coming back from adversity.
Sunday, they trailed 13-6 at halftime. However, there is no quit in
this team. The Cowboys outscored the Bills 24-0 in the second half and
won this game going away.
Emmitt Smith was brilliant, running for two touchdowns and defensive
back James Washington provided the spark on the other side of the
line--causing one fumble, returning another fumble for a touchdown, and
intercepting a pass.
Buffalo played valiantly, but they were no match for the boys in
blue.
The Cowboys have won two Super Bowls in a row. I say, ``Let's go for
the three-peat.''
