"You can see that we have highlighted a second streak in the group. We have done this because the other streak also happened this season. For real. The Cowboys have had two separate three-game streaks of allowing 30 points, something that only the 2010 group managed to also accomplish. For what it's worth that team saw its quarterback injured for the season, but more notably also saw its head coach fired midway through the campaign. It was hardly the same as this year."
"A moment ago we discussed streaks involving 30-point games from the opposing offense, but what happens if we look at the number of times it has occurred in general? All told, the Cowboys have allowed 30 points to be scored against them eight times this season. This is tied for the most games of such kind in a season in franchise history. Congratulations to 1961, 2010 (if not obvious), and 2020 for now having a fourth member of the party."
Dallas entered 2025 with a defense that has performed at near the bottom of franchise history, compiling multiple streaks of allowing 30 points. The team experienced two separate three-game stretches of permitting 30 points, a feat previously matched only by the 2010 squad. The Cowboys have allowed 30 points eight times this season, tying the franchise single-season mark shared with 1961, 2010, and 2020. Recent games saw the team fall out of competitive range quickly, and historical comparisons note that prior seasons with similar defensive lapses involved major disruptions like season-ending injuries and coaching changes.
