Dallas finally has a pro football title in the 21st century; but it is not from the long-suffering Cowboys, but rather the Arlington Renegades.
The Renegades stunned the league-best DC Defenders 35-26 to win the 2023 XFL Championship. They had entered the playoffs with a losing record and the least potent offense, but scored more points than the opposition when it mattered.
While there were congratulations for the Renegades, Twitter also took the time to mock the Cowboys for failing to win a Super Bowl in the time the Renegades have existed:

Even quarterback Dak Prescott was not safe from being roasted:
What has happened to the Dallas Cowboys since their last Super Bowl win?
The Cowboys’ last Super Bowl win was in 1995, and since then they have failed to make it back to the NFC Conference Championship Game, let alone the Super Bowl. As this SBNation video recounts, the team fell into dysfunction, earlier playoff losses than usual, and injuries; and the core of the roster disintegrated in the ensuing years.
After long-time offensive leader Troy Aikman retired, the Cowboys had multiple starting quarterbacks, before stabilizing under Tony Romo. With him under center, the team made it to the Divisional Round a few times, but never past that.
The most painful instance was in 2007, Romo’s first full season as starter. The Cowboys tied for the best record in the NFC and clinched the top seed via head-to-head. However, they were eliminated in the Divisional Round by the New York Giants, who would go on to win Super Bowl XLII against the then-unbeaten New England Patriots.
After Romo retired in 2016, Dak Prescott took over, but like his predecessor, he has failed to make the championship rounds. He came the closest in 2018 and 2022, when his team made the Divisional Round but lost both times to Californian teams (the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers’ respectively).
