Hall of Fame defensive tackle Bob Lilly wore #74 from 1961 to 1974 for the Cowboys.
Linebacker Lee Roy Jordan, a member of the Dallas Cowboys' Ring of Honor, wore No. 55 from 1963 to 1976. Another linebacker, Bruce Huther, had the number for the rest of the decade of the 1970s.

Defensive tackle Bob Lilly, who played for the Dallas Cowboys from 1961 to 1974, was the only active player in team history to wear No. 74.
Preston Pearson, who later played for the Dallas Cowboys, wore jersey number 26 from 1970-74. According to the Steelers Record Book on Steelers.com, NO player wore number 26 again until Scoop Gillespie in 1984. So, your answer is that there was no #26 on the Steelers 1978 roster, according to the teams record book.

The former Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins head coach turned 74 years old on August 19, 2017.
Currently, no Dallas Cowboys player wears the #33. I think it unlikely that any one would try to wear 33, as it belonged to Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett. While the Cowboys do not retire numbers, I don't think you will see a 12,8,33, or 74. 88 lingers on, however.
No one has worn No. 74 in the regular season since the retirement of Bob Lilly -- "Mr. Cowboy" -- in 1974.
