With Thursday's win, the Cowboys avoided the third 0-6 home start, happily skipping away from the 1960 team that went 0-11-1 in the first year of the franchise and the 1989 Cowboys who went 1-15 in Jerry Jones' first year as owner and general manager.
"I hate it so much for our fans to have this run of losses when we've been so proud of our home winning streak," Jones said. "So it's good to get this win here at home."

With 11 days until the Cincinnati game, the Cowboys' hope is Lamb will be OK.
"The rest might be the most important part of the schedule," McCarthy said. "If you just look at what we've been dealing with, rest and recovery will really help us. The schedule is set up for our players to be on a bye week. They have some responsibility on Monday. We'll do a later start on Wednesday. I do want them to get away, get their batteries charged and be ready to go.
