You won't believe how many home games the Cowboys lost in a row in 1988 - 1989: Their amazing losing streak in Dallas

Heading into their Monday Night Football match against the Houston Texans tonight, the Dallas Cowboys are at 3-6. They’re having one of their worst seasons since 2015, and they’re playing shockingly bad at home.

After winning 16 home games in a row from 2022 to 2023, the Cowboys were apparently cursed in 2024, losing their Wild Card playoff game to the Packers last year and every regular season home game so far this season.

Still, that streak is no match for the amount of regular season home games the Cowboys lost from 1988-89.

The Cowboys' incredible home losing streak from 1988-89

Just one year before Jerry Jones took over as the owner of the Cowboys, they had the worst season since their debut in 1960, finishing with a 3-13 record. Playing at home did not help them that season either.

The Cowboys' home back then was at Texas Stadium in Dallas, and they managed just one win there back in 1988. They won their Week 4 game against the Atlanta Falcons at home, but then went on to lose their next six in a row at home.

It didn’t get better from there though. In the 1989 season, Jerry Jones’ first season as owner and Jimmy Johnson’s first as coach, the Cowboys extended their home losing streak to 14 games, losing all eight regular season home games that year.

They and the 2008 St. Louis Rams now hold the record for the longest losing streak of regular season home games.

The 2024 Cowboys are currently 0-4 at home this season. They’ll be hoping to break that streak tonight against the Texans, but it’s not looking hopeful for the rest of their season.

It just goes to show that Jerry Jones can build the biggest, most showy stadium in the world, but none of it will matter if he can’t build a quality team (or put in some dang curtains).
