It's called the Landry Shift, and it's a tribute to Tom Landry, the Cowboys' original head coach from 1960 to 1988. Landry believed in a multiple offense, and he had offensive linemen bob up and down to disguise the movements of running backs and receivers before the ball was snapped. The shift was discontinued when Jimmy Johnson became Dallas' head coach in 1989. The 2014 Cowboys only use the shift when they're in a victory formation in the final moments of a game.
The Cowboys joined the National Football League as an expansion team in 1960.
There have been two professional football teams that started in Dallas in the last 50 or so years. The Dallas Texans, an AFL franchise that moved to Kansas City and became the Kansas City Chiefs. The other team was the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys were an expansion team in 1960 for the NFL.
