If the OP's numbers are right, this particular longshot is uncommon. If looking at other circumstances, I seriously doubt the Cowboys are routinely inventing ways to lose games that have never occurred throughout the 100 year history of the league.
You decide (1 of 3):
The thread was started with the intention of making it about all the ridiculous records the Cowboys have set since jeri ran off jimmy but the thread title got changed to Garrett records but it has some of both, here's some cut and paste from that thread:
Lets start with this pitiful doozy:
The Houston Texans shocked their intrastate rivals (Dallas Cowboys) 19-10, becoming just the second expansion team ever to win their first game (after the Minnesota Vikings in 1961).
According to Elias Sports Bureau, the Cowboys are the second team in NFL history to lose consecutive games at home despite scoring at least 30 points in both contests. The 2012 Detroit Lions lost two in a row when scoring 31 and 33 points. The Lions offensive coordinator? Scott Linehan, who holds that job with the Cowboys.
Only team in NFL history to follow two different 13-3 one seed seasons with a one and done playoffs.
Broke the team record for fewest rushing TDs a few years back. The record broken was of the strike shortened 9 game 1982 season.
Also records for fewest turnovers generated. not sure if it was just franchise or NFL record. I think it was tied for worst ever with the Saints maybe.
Current streak of 28 games without a defensive TD (longest in team history AFAIK), and also 36 games without a special teams TD (also longest in team history AFAIK).
There was the unique back to back 70+ yard runs given up to the Ravens.
The loss to the Texans first ever game should count here too it was such a huge fail.
Two games where we reached 99% win probability and lost, both in the same year to Green Bay and Detroit.
In 2013 the defense gave up 6645 total yards, the most in team history, and third most in NFL history. Also in 2013, let Calvin Johnson go off for 329 yards receiving. The most ever surrendered in team history, and the second most in NFL history. The previous 300 yard game was 24 years earlier.
The Cowboys set a team record by committing 18 penalties against the Eagles in September, 2015.
They had three others that the Eagles declined. The previous mark of 17 was set against the Cleveland Browns in a 1988 game.
Matt Cassel had 97 passing yards in a game against the Seahawks in 2015. That is the fewest passing yards by a Dallas starting quarterback who played an entire game since Clint Stoerner’s first NFL start in October of 2001, when he tallied 93 yards versus Arizona.
