The Commanders–Cowboys rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Washington Commanders, formerly known as the Redskins, and the Dallas Cowboys. In 2005, Sports Illustrated called it the top NFL rivalry of all time and "one of the greatest in sports."[4] ESPN ranked it the best rivalry in the NFL.[5] The Sportster has ranked it the 17th biggest rivalry in the world.[6] During the tenure of this rivalry, the two franchises have won 32 combined division titles and eight combined Super Bowls. They are two of the wealthiest franchises in the NFL.[7] The rivalry started in 1960 when the Cowboys joined the league as an expansion team.[8] During that year they were in separate conferences, but played once during the season. In 1961, Dallas was placed in the same division as Washington, and from that point on, they have played each other twice in every regular season.[9]
