Turf Monsters: Cowboys unnatural surface dominance among streaks, milestones, record watch

The Cowboys’ are built for speed and have the second-longest turf winning streak in NFL history on the line on Sunday. | From @KDDrummondNFL

Last week, the Cowboys earned their 10th win if the season and for the first time since the mid-90s, they’ve won double-digit games in three straight years.

Mike McCarthy has accomplished what Jason Garrett, Wade Phillips nor even the great Bill Parcells could not. And he’s done it by assembling a team that is lean, athletic and built for speed. So much so they Dallas has now won an amazing 21 straight games on artificial turf.

It’s the second-longest streak in NFL history, according to Stathead (they list 20, but haven’t reclassified Carolina’s Bank of America Stadium since it changed in 2021). Dallas will get a chance to extend that streak on Sunday as their Week 15 opponent, the Buffalo Bills, play on turf as well. This is among a myriad of streaks, milestones and records in play this weekend.
