Some help with trivia needed

[RoadRunner]

Was the game last week vs the Titans the first win of any game by the Cowboys on a Friday? Its such a rare day for a game even in pre season, and I couldn't recall a previous Friday victory by the team. Does anyone have more info on this. I don't have complete pre season results for the entire history fo the team.

We beat the Texans on a Friday (Aug. 22) during last year's preseason.

Where did you get this data?

Where did you get this data?

Combination of three websites:
For preseason games 2000 and before:
http://www.geocities.com/~jrbeasley/dallas/start.html

For preseason games 2001 and later:
http://www.nfl.com/

For regular season games:
http://www.shrpsports.com/nfl/

I would not stake my life on it, but the international data came from the first link, but from 1986 - 2000. If we played any international games in other years, it is not included.

I know that we finally beat the Raiders in an international game a few pre seasons ago. I don't remember the score, but it was a game in Mexico, and Dallas won it.

The only exhibition game of note that Dallas hasn't won is the Hall of Fame Game (0-3 I believe).

Other than that Dallas has won the Playoff Bowl, College All-Star game, and an International game. If They can win a Hall of Fame Game one of these years I believe Dallas would be the first team to win all 4 pre season specials at least once. Of course, the playoff Bowl and All-Star game are no longer played.

You are correct. We beat the Raiders 21-6 in 2001. And I must have missed another game...we are 1-7-1 overall internationally.

While looking over the info in your links I came across another little bit of trivia. The first victory of any kind by the franchise was in the 1960 preseason vs the NY Giants in Louisville, KY.
