Thirteen wins. Thirty-eight losses. Four straight seasons at the bottom of the NFL. In the winter of 1964, every sportswriter in Texas agreed: Tom Landry was finished. The fans wanted him gone.

No one could have guessed that this one decision would create twenty consecutive winning seasons, five Super Bowls, and the team an entire generation grew up calling "America's Team."
