However, they have not made the big game since they last won it in the 1995 campaign, which was also the last time they made it to the NFC Championship Game.Bhart Singh @OyeBhartsinghLINK@YahooSports He survived in hope of winning a Super Bowl© @c43losLINK@YahooSports This means Cowboys will be in the Super Bowl this yearAfter being eliminated in the Wild Card round of the 2023 playoffs, Jones said he wanted to experience another Super Bowl triumph during his lifetime. Unfortunately for him, last season didn’t pan out as he’d hoped, with the Cowboys missing the playoffs.An experimental drug saved Jerry Jones’ lifeWhen Jones was given the cancer diagnosis, the prognosis wasn’t great. In an interview with the Dallas Morning News on Tuesday, Jones said an experimental drug was responsible for his recovery.“I was saved by a fabulous treatment and great doctors and a real miracle [drug] called PD-1 [therapy], Jones said. “I went into trials for that PD-1, and it has been one of the great medicines. I now have no tumors."Jones underwent two lung surgeries and two lymph node surgeries over the next 10 years. Stage 4 melanoma means that the skin cancer has metastasized and spread to other parts of the body.PD-1 therapy, according to the American Cancer Society, helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.Advanced cases of the disease have about a five-year survival rate of 50%, with some longer and some with no signs of the cancer at all after treatment. MD Anderson, where the Cowboys owner was treated, is world-renowned for its facilities and clinical trials, many of which have been successful.
