In a reversal of the Week 13 scheduling trend, the Cowboys usually end up on the road in the 14th week of the season.
Today’s home game against the Eagles is the rare exception.
It will be only the 24th time in 62 games that Dallas plays at home in Week 14. The Cowboys had a bye week in 1990.
The inaugural 1960 season was only 12 games in duration.
By comparison, the Cowboys have played 40 of their 63 Week 13 games at home.
Dallas’ record in Week 14 coming into today’s game is 33-28 overall. They are 14-9 at home but just 2-3 at AT&T Stadium in Week 14.
They were 3-1 in Week 14 games played at the Cotton Bowl and 9-5 at Texas Stadium.
Dallas has won its last three Week 14 games overall and the last two in a row at home.
Streak Kings
The Cowboys enjoyed a pair of four-game win streaks early on.
They won four in a row from 1963-67 and again from 1968 -71.
Dallas enjoyed an eight-game win streak from 1977-84 then promptly lost the next five from 1985-1989. They would match that five-game losing streak from 2000-04.

They would play all 10 of their Week 14 games in the 1980s on the road. Dallas won the first five, then lost the last five games.
The streak was interrupted by the 1990 bye week then halted with a home win over the Steelers in 1991.
The Cowboys’ longest streak of Week 14 games played at home was four from 2004-07. They alternated wins and losses.
A loss to the Saints, was followed by a win over the Chiefs, another loss to New Orleans and finally a win over the Lions.
Against The Eagles
