The Cowboys have won 12 games in a row at home. But it's not the home field that helps alone, it's the playing surface. The Cowboys have a 6-0 record on synthetic turf this season and have outscored their opponents 37 - 11 on average. Their record on grass is 0-3 and they have been outscored 16 - 33. Since the first game of the season last year, Dallas has not lost on synthetic turf and all of their losses have come on grass. It's not just the offense that struggles, but the defense is also giving up a lot of points on grass.

The good news is that there are only 2 more games left to be played on grass (Commanders and Dolphins)

The bad news is that if the Cowboys don't get win the division, they will likely have to go on grass fields to play SF or Philadelphia.

you know we've gone through this before you are not factoring in facts that we're playing on the road and sometimes even in bad weather outdoors against better teams at their home, has more to do with losses, ITS called home field advantage for good reason.... I mean if you think that that turf means something how did we get up by 17 and by 14 last year in Jax and handled. we blew those leads but we handled.. also some of these road games are stacked ie too many in row and also in the 3 games in 12 days stretches..i mean its not "just the grass/turf surfaces" LOL

Dallas led Green Bay 28-14 going into the 4th quarter.
Dallas led Jacksonville 27-10 with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.
Against Washington in the season finale -- McCarthy came out with that vanilla gameplan + Cowboys were scoreboard watching; once they realized the Giants weren't beating the Eagles - they rolled over and gave up.
Natural grass field had nothing to do with those 3 losses.
It was the Cowboys' play - more precisely the BAD play- tha resulted in those 3 defeats.

100% it's called home field advantage for a reason... When you're traveling, you're playing on the road outdoors sometimes in bad weather etc also comes into play, traveling and how many in row and the distance between them has been factor. Our schedules have sucked of late for the way they are scheduling these road games.

grass has nothing to do with it.

But the effect has to be the same for every player, thus every team. Both teams play on the same field. Grass may be slower but not for just one team

one would think yep, and the grass itself is indeed slower for all, but alas, the effect affects the Cowboys more than other teams
