The 2002 Dallas Cowboys season was highlighted by a historic milestone as running back Emmitt Smith became the NFL's all-time leading rusher, surpassing Walter Payton's record. The team also saw the emergence of first-round pick Roy Williams, who provided a spark on defense, and celebrated safety Darren Woodson becoming the franchise's all-time leading tackler. Despite a 5-11 finish, the season featured notable wins over the Jaguars and Redskins, and the beginning of a record-breaking streak of 190 consecutive sold-out games. The NFL's all-time leading rusher and a 2010 Hall of Fame inductee, Emmitt Smith was a legendary running back for the Dallas Cowboys who won three Super Bowls, four rushing titles, and the 1993 NFL MVP award.
