Cowboys suddenly lost at home with 4 losses in a row in Dallas since a 16-game win streak

The Cowboys lost their fourth consecutive home game, 47-9 to Detroit on Sunday.

It extended a stretch at AT&T Stadium during which they became the first team since at least 2000 to trail by 14 points or more at halftime on their home field in four games in a row.

They have trailed by at least 22 in each of those games.

What makes the skid so remarkable is that before a 48-32 home playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers last Jan.

14, Dallas had won 16 in a row at home over two seasons to make the Cowboys the only team other than New England since 2000 to have a streak that long.

The Cowboys came up just short of their franchise-record 18 consecutive home wins from 1979-81.

And the Cowboys (3-3) have won all three of their road games this season.

The 38-point loss was their largest at AT&T Stadium, which opened in 2009.

There have been only three other home games in franchise history when they lost by more, the most recent of those being 43-3 to Minnesota at Texas Stadium in 1988.

Dallas will go into November without a win at home since there are back-to-back games on the road after its upcoming bye week.

Six of the last nine regular-season games are at home, the next one Nov.

10 against Philadelphia.

Detroit, the last opposing team to lose in Arlington last Dec.

30, took a 27-6 halftime lead Sunday.

The Cowboys, who were up 3-0, were held without a touchdown at home for the first time since a 19-3 loss to Tampa Bay in the 2022 season opener.

That was their last loss before their 16-game winning streak.

In that playoff debacle that ended last season, Green Bay jumped out to a 27-0 lead before halftime.

The Cowboys opened this season with a 33-17 win at Cleveland, but in their home opener New Orleans scored touchdowns on its first six possessions on way to a 44-19 road win.

Baltimore jumped out to a 28-6 lead three weeks ago before the Cowboys scored 19 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
