The Dallas Cowboys have established an unwanted franchise record, allowing 20 or more points in 14 consecutive games. The defensive streak marks the longest such run in team history, highlighting ongoing struggles on that side of the ball for America's Team.
The milestone was reached during the 2026 NFL season, continuing a trend that has plagued the Cowboys' defense across multiple games. The streak spans back into the previous season, encompassing games against various opponents where the defense failed to hold the opposition below the 20-point threshold.
This defensive inconsistency has been a recurring theme for Dallas, raising questions about personnel, scheme, and execution as the team navigates a challenging stretch of its schedule. The record underscores the magnitude of the defensive overhaul many analysts believe is necessary for the Cowboys to contend for a championship.
