ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys (3-3) were playing at home at AT&T Stadium in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions (4-1), but what happened on the field, and in the stands wasn’t friendly: it was downright hostile.
Detroit steamrolled Dallas 47-9, which is the worst Cowboys home loss since owner and general manager Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989. It’s also tied for the worst loss, home or away, under Jones’ ownership along with a 45-7 road defeat at the Green Bay Packers in Week 9 of the 2010 season and a 44-6 setback at the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17 of the 2008 season.
“I regret that for our fans,” Jones said postgame. “Regret it for everybody that is a part of the Cowboys or have been a part of the Cowboys. … We don’t like where we are right now. There’s a lot of work to do. Got a lot of improvement before we’ll sit here with any smiles on our face.”
Dallas has surrendered 167 points across their last four defeats: last season’s 48-32 NFC wild-card round loss, the 44-19 Week 2 defeat vs. the Saints, the 28-25 Week 3 defeat vs. the Ravens and the Week 6 47-9 defeat against the Lions. That’s the third-most in a four-game at home span, including the postseason in NFL history, according to CBS Sports Research. Only the 1948 New York Giants (177) and the 1972-1973 Houston Oilers (176) have had a worse four-game stretch at home than the 2023-2024 Dallas Cowboys. On Sunday, a chorus of boos, “Let’s go Lions” and “Jared Goff” echoed throughout AT&T Stadium all game long.
That makes sense considering Detroit scored on its first nine drives of the game, excluding the end of the first half kneel down. Those chants from away team fans have been a constant across this historic four-game losing streak with the Packers’ “Go Pack Go,” the Saints’ “Who Dat” rallying cry and the Ravens’ “Oh, oh, oh, oh” to the beat of “Seven Nation Army” after touchdowns. Not a very fun…
