Question: Eric Dickerson went on to rush for a playoff record 248 yards in post season play against a football team that has made it to the super bowl how many times?
Context: The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.  The Cowboys compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) East division.  The team is headquartered in Frisco, Texas, and plays its home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which opened for the 2009 season.  The stadium took its current name prior to the 2013 season.  The Cowboys joined the NFL as an expansion team in .  The team's national following might best be represented by its NFL record of consecutive sell-outs.  The Cowboys' streak of 190 consecutive sold-out regular and post-season games (home and away) began in 2002.  The franchise has made it to the Super Bowl eight times, tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Denver Broncos for second most Super Bowl appearances in history, just behind the New England Patriots record nine Super Bowl appearances.  This has also corresponded to eight NFC championships, most in the NFC.  The Cowboys have won five of those Super Bowl appearances, tying them with their NFC rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, and the AFC's Patriots; all three are second to Pittsburgh's record six Super Bowl championships.  The Cowboys are the only NFL team to record 20 straight winning seasons (1966–85), in which they only missed the playoffs twice (1974 and 1984), an NFL record that remains unchallenged. The Minnesota Vikings season was the franchise's 52nd season in the National Football League, as well as the second full season under head coach Leslie Frazier.  They looked to improve upon their 3–13 season the year before, and did so after defeating the Tennessee Titans in Week 5, and improved on their record from 2010 when they beat the Chicago Bears in Week 14; the team's win over the Houston Texans in Week 16 made this their first winning season since 2009.  The Vikings also made the playoffs for the first time since 2009 with a Week 17 win over the Green Bay Packers to give them a 10–6 regular season record, but were defeated by the Packers in the Wild Card playoff round the following week.  Adrian Peterson was named the league's MVP after rushing for 2,097 yards, just nine yards short of breaking the single-season record held by Eric Dickerson. The 2,000-yard club is a group of seven National Football League (NFL) running backs that have rushed for 2,000 or more yards in a season.  These seven rushing seasons rank as the highest single-season rushing totals in NFL history, and reaching the 2,000-yard mark is considered a significant achievement for running backs.  No running back has yet achieved this feat twice.  The first 2,000-yard season was recorded in 1973 by Buffalo Bills running back O.J. Simpson.  He is the only player to have surpassed 2,000 yards in a 14-game season, as all others occurred in 16-game seasons; he finished the season with 2,003 rushing yards, averaging six yards per carry and an NFL-record 143.1 rushing yards per game.  Los Angeles Rams running back Eric Dickerson, who had broken the single-season rookie rushing record in 1983, recorded the second 2,000-yard season in 1984.  Dickerson rushed for 2,105 yards, the current NFL rushing record, and averaged 131.6 rushing yards per game. The 1982 Miami Dolphins season was the team's seventeenth in the National Football League.  The team was coming off an unexpected 11-4-1 1981 season and a devastating loss to the San Diego Chargers in the Divisional Round the previous season in a game dubbed the Epic in Miami.  The Dolphins had clinched the 2 seed and were picked by many to reach the Super Bowl during the 1981 season.  Because of the high number of picks to reach the Super Bowl the previous season, many more fans picked them to win it during the 1982 season.  The Dolphins looked to improve on their 11-4-1 record from 1981.  However, a players strike cancelled 7 of the team's 16 games.  Because of this, the NFL schedule was shrunk to 9 games.  The Dolphins started out fresh, winning their first 2 games prior to the strike.  When season play resumed 2 months later, the Dolphins defeated the Buffalo Bills 9-7 in Buffalo to clinch a 3-0 start.  After a loss to Tampa Bay, they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 22-14.  The next week, they lost a brisk game against the Patriots 3-0 in a game called the Snowplow Game.  The Dolphins would then win 3 straight games to end the season 7-2, tied for 2nd in the AFC with the Cincinnati Bengals.  The Dolphins won 2nd place over them by virtue of a series of tiebreakers.  In the playoffs, they defeated the Patriots in a rematch by the score of 28-13.  They then defeated the Chargers in a rematch of the 1981 Divisional Playoffs by a score of 34-13.  In the AFC Championship game, they shutout the Jets, 14-0 to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 1973.  In Super Bowl XVII, they lost to the Redskins 27-17 in a rematch of Super Bowl VII which concluded Miami's perfect 1972 season. The 2007 New York Giants season was the 83rd season for the New York Giants in the National Football League.  The Giants finished the regular season 10–6 and in second place in the NFC East, improving upon their 8–8 record in 2006 in which they finished third in their division.  They qualified for the playoffs as a wild-card team as the #5 seed, and beat the #4 seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9–7), the top-seeded Dallas Cowboys (13–3), and the #2 seed Green Bay Packers (13–3) to become the National Football Conference representative in Super Bowl XLII.  There, they defeated the heavily favored and previously undefeated 18–0 New England Patriots and spoiled their perfect season.  The 2007 New York Giants became the 9th wild card team in NFL history to reach the Super Bowl and the 5th wild card team to win the Super Bowl, and the very first NFC wild card to accomplish the feat.  They were the third team in history to win three road playoff games en route to a Super Bowl and set a league record for most consecutive road wins in a single season (11), though the Super Bowl is played on a neutral field rather than an opponent's stadium.  It was the 7th league championship season for the New York Giants and their first since they won Super Bowl XXV in 1991. The 1981 Philadelphia Eagles season resulted in an appearance in the postseason for the fourth straight season (first time in franchise history the Eagles had made the postseason four straight times).  The team was coming off a Super Bowl loss to the Oakland Raiders the previous season.  Because they made the Super Bowl in 1980, they were picked by many to not only reach the Super Bowl, but to win it as well.  The Eagles began the 1981 season with 6 straight wins, their best ever start to a season at the time.  The Eagles would win then 3 of their next 5 games to sit at 9-2.  They would then lose their next 4 games to slip to 9-6 and were in danger of missing out on the playoffs.  The next week, they hammered the Cardinals 38-0 to clinch a playoff berth for the fourth straight season.  In the playoffs, they met their arch rivals the Giants.  It was New York's first playoff appearance in 18 years.  In the game, the Giants would stun the eagles 27-21, ending the Eagles seasons as well as hopes for a second straight Super Bowl appearance.  The Eagles would not make the playoffs again until 1988.  They also wouldn't reach the Super Bowl again until 2004. The 1990 Indianapolis Colts season was the 38th season for the team in the National Football League and seventh in Indianapolis.  The Indianapolis Colts finished the National Football League's 1990 season with a record of 7 wins and 9 losses, and finished third in the AFC East division.  Running back Eric Dickerson held out of training camp, during a contract dispute.  The Colts would end up suspending Dickerson four games for conduct detrimental to the team.  He would return late in the season and rush for 677 yards. The 1985 Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 48th year with the National Football League and the 40th season in Los Angeles.  The Rams played in the NFC Championship Game but lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears.  Eric Dickerson rushed for 1,234 yards in 1985 while missing the first two games while in a contract dispute.  He missed the Pro Bowl for the first time in his short NFL career.  He did, however, go on to rush for a playoff record 248 yards against the Dallas Cowboys in post-season play. Jerry Markbreit (born March 23, 1935) is a former American football referee in the National Football League (NFL) for 23 seasons and became one of the most recognizable referees in the game.  Markbreit officiated football games for 43 seasons.  From 1965 to 1975, Markbreit officiated college football games in the Big Ten Conference.  He then joined the NFL in 1976 as a line judge before being promoted to the head referee position in just his second year.  His uniform number in the league was 9, which is now worn by Mark Perlman.  Until he retired from the NFL after the 1998 season, Markbreit officiated in two wild card (1991 and 1994), ten divisional (1979, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1995, 1997, and 1998), eight conference championship (1980, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993, and 1996) playoff games, one Pro Bowl (1978), and four Super Bowls: Super Bowl XVII, Super Bowl XXI, Super Bowl XXVI, and Super Bowl XXIX and was an alternate in Super Bowl XIX, Super Bowl XXII, and Super Bowl XXVIII.  To date, he is the only NFL head referee to officiate four Super Bowl games. The 1983 Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 46th year with the National Football League and the 38th season in the city of Los Angeles.  The franchise drafted a future Hall of Fame Running Back in Eric Dickerson.  The season saw the team attempt to improve on its 2-7 record from 1982.  The team started out 5-2 before splitting their next 4 games and then lost at home to Washington to sit at 7-5.  They would split their last 4 games to finish 9-7 and make the playoffs for the first time since 1980 after a 2-year absence.  In the playoffs, they defeated the Cowboys 24-17 in Dallas to advance to the Divisional Round.  However, in the game, the Rams were annihilated 51-7 by the Redskins, who would go to the Super Bowl later.
