The Cowboys set a horrible NFL record during their loss on Sunday.
The Dallas Cowboys entered Sunday as one of only two teams to not win a game at home this season and that mark has now officially grown for them as they were humiliated by the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that took way too long to end.
As the game wore on the Cowboys developed a 20-point deficit which was hardly shocking given how they have been playing as of late. What was notable about this 20-point deficit was that it set an NFL record for the most consecutive games in which a team had a 20-point deficit in their home building.
For the first time in NFL history a team has trailed by 20 or more points in five straight home games, including playoffs, with the Eagles now up 28-6 on the Cowboys. The Cowboys had been tied for the longest streak with the 2013-14 Raiders with four in a row.

This streak dates back to last season’s playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers and obviously now runs through the loss to the Eagles. To put things in some more harrowing perspective, the Cowboys have now trailed by at least 20 points to Green Bay, the New Orleans Saints, the Baltimore Ravens, the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia. It is a literally unheard of sort of thing.
Everything about who the Cowboys have been since the Packers loss resembles statistics of this nature so this isn’t surprising, but it is still intense to see things put into terms to where the Cowboys are now the only team to ever do this.
The probably horrible good news is that Dallas is at home next Monday night against the Houston Texans and has a chance to not lengthen their own bit of history.
