The Cowboys recaptured the top spot they had for a season back in 2009. They lost the top spot in 2010. Precisely, it was the Green Bay Packer game that lost Wade Philips his job. First place was then occupied by the Bears, of all teams. They enjoyed a small renaissance due to their improved records and the simultaneous struggles of the Browns, Raiders, Dolphins, and Cowboys.

The Dolphins held the top spot from 2000 to 2008. Prior to that it went back and forth from the Browns to the Raiders. The Browns had a legendary winning record from their very inception. They started out with ten consecutive winning seasons followed by one losing season, followed by thirteen consecutive winning seasons, followed by a tie season.

The Cowboy's peak winning percentage was 64.26% after the 1983 season. Their all time winning percentage after Landry's last season in 1989 was 58.64. Due to the draft design, free agency, and salary caps, there is more parity in the league and so the lesser winning percentage today is still #1 in the league.

The highest all time winning percent attained by the Cowboys during the Jerry Jones era was 60.74% in 1996. The lowest was 57.14 in 2013. The Cowboys have an opportunity to create space between them and their closest competitors, the Packers, Bears, and Dolphins. The Ravens are also very close and can gain ground quickly due to their lesser number of games played.

It took until 2002, 69 years, for the Steelers to break even. Difficult to claim all time greatest with that statistic.

Number of games behind the Cowboys:

Cowboys 0
Bears 2
Ravens 15
Dolphins 16
Packers 21
49ers 41
Patriots 60
Vikings 68
Broncos 72

Yeah but where does witten rank on the all time reception list, amigo?

Witten is basically ranked 2nd in just about every category from receptions to yards to Pro Bowl selections but the statistics still don't do him justice. He is probably the best all purpose TE that ever played the game and it would be an absolute crime if he didn't get at least one Super Bowl ring.

He is a true leader, a true tough guy, the kind of athlete you point to as a true role model.

But you and everyone else already knew that.......:tiphat
