Historical notes from Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys loss to the Atlanta Falcons

TheDallas Cowboyslost to theAtlanta Falconson Sunday in a game that felt somewhat close, but honestly never really was. On the whole the Falcons do not appear to be a particularly robust team, but the Cowboys could not push them around at all and even though they “only” lost by six points, they were sent home after not really or ever fully competing at any one point.

The days since have brought all sorts of headlines for the team. Dak Prescott will miss time with a hamstring injury suffered during the game, CeeDee Lamb sprained his AC joint and could also be out for a while and, oh yea, the team traded for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and surrendered their 2025 fourth-round pick to do so.

But before we fully put the Atlanta loss in the box of things that we will never discuss again, we have to look at it through the prism of history.

As we do every week, we have assessed certain marks and points from the contest relative to Dallas Cowboys franchise history as well as history across the rest of the league. Thanks to our friends atStathead
