∙ 9y agoNo. The Dallas Cowboys were a National Football League expansion team when they began playing in 1960. When the merger between the NFL and the rival American Football League went into effect in 1970, there were 16 NFL teams and 10 AFL teams. To create balance, three longtime NFL ballclubs -- the Baltimore Colts, the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers -- moved over to the new American Football Conference. The Cowboys became a part of the new National Football Conference, comprised of the remaining NFL teams.
