Select the most like transition paragraph that would be linked to this quote:

“We were the front runner,” Brandt said. “We set the tone and the pace and other teams followed because of our success. Our goal was to be creative and innovative. To do things other teams hadn’t done, weren’t capable of doing or couldn’t afford to do.”

a)

And to hear Brandt tell it, what the Cowboys did from 1960 to 1985, which included 20 straight winning seasons and five trips to the Super Bowl, was the greatest run in NFL history and will never be duplicated — not just for the success on the field but the way they innovated and changed the game.

b)

The innovations on the field led to distinct advantages for the Cowboys in terms of scouting and finding players. The Cowboys used to bring 75-80 rookie free agents to training camp to mine talent. They were one of the first franchises with a weight training program.
