Cowboys are making the wrong kind of history in blowout loss to Eagles

The Dallas Cowboys made history on Sunday, but not because they did anything good.

During a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, Dallas became the first team in NFL history to trail by 20 or more points in five consecutive home games. The streak dates back to the wild-card round of the playoffs last season, where they lost 48-32 to the Green Bay Packers.

For those keeping track, the Cowboys trailed the Packers 27-0 at one point in that wild card game.

They followed that up by losing 44-19 to the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 of this season.

In Week 3, Dallas trailed the Baltimore Ravens 28-6 before ultimately losing 28-25.

The Detroit Lions waxed the Cowboys 47-9 in Week 6.

And finally, the Eagles outscored the Cowboys 34-6 in the fourth quarter during Week 10.

That’s five home games in a row in which they trailed by 20 or more points. Dallas will have a chance to continue that streak next week when the Houston Texans come to town.

Things are looking really bad for the Cowboys right now. They are 3-6 and quarterback Dak Prescott is almost certainly out for a while. Backup Cooper Rush was terrible on Sunday, completing 13 of 23 passes for just 45 yards. Things got so bad that third-stringer Trey Lance took action.

Jerry Jones can’t be happy.
