Dallas Cowboys remain only U.S. pro sports team without a home win in 2024

Posted on November 20, 2024 - 2:31 pm by

The Dallas Cowboys hold the dubious distinction of being the only men’s professional team in American sports without a home win in 2024. Every other team across the NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and NFL has secured at least one home victory this year.

All four of Dallas’ wins this year have been on the road.

Their last home win came nearly a year ago on December 30, 2023, when they defeated the Detroit Lions in the second-to-last game of the 2023 season. At that time, the Cowboys were flying high with an 11-5 record, gearing up for a promising playoff run.



Disastrous Season for the Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys’ 2024 season has been nothing short of a nightmare. After their Monday night loss to the Houston Texans, their record dropped to 3-7. With quarterback Dak Prescott out for the season, hopes for a turnaround seem slim. The dismal performance has even cast doubt on Mike McCarthy’s future as head coach.

As Dallas braces for what looks like a losing season—and potentially one of the league’s worst—Colin Cowherd suggests it’s time for a complete overhaul. His bold proposal was to bring in Deion Sanders, the legendary cornerback and current University of Colorado coach, to replace McCarthy. Cowherd also thinks drafting quarterback Shedeur Sanders could be part of the plan.

Interestingly, a Cowboys legend and close friend of Deion Sanders agrees this could be a possibility.

“I believe 100% and I can tell you, good sources have told me that,” Michael Irvin revealed on The Herd when asked if Deion would consider coaching the Cowboys if Shedeur Sanders joined the team.
“Great sources have told me that. That’s all I can say like that without violating anything else.”

The unraveling of “America’s Team”

This season has been a masterclass in disappointment for the Cowboys. The trouble started before the first snap, when team owner Jerry Jones boldly declared he was “all in” on this year but made minimal changes to the roster.

The flaws that cost them last year’s playoff game against Green Bay were left untouched. Jones even ignored the chance to sign free-agent running back Derrick Henry—who happens to train in Dallas—to strengthen their lackluster running game.



Now, with the offense struggling and fans frustrated, Jones has lashed out on his weekly radio show, threatening to fire hosts for tough questions.

On the field, things are even worse. The Cowboys have lost all five home games this season and six straight dating back to last year’s playoff exit. These aren’t just losses—they’re humiliations.

When this season ends, changes are inevitable. Mike McCarthy will likely be replaced, and much of the coaching staff and roster could follow. But while players and coaches come and go, the Cowboys’ story stays the same: high expectations, minimal results.

Even their stadium is falling apart

The Cowboys are the last remaining team in U.S. professional sports to have not won a home game in 2024, and it seems even their stadium is mirroring their woes.

Hours before their Monday Night Football loss, a sheet of metal from the roof of AT&T Stadium came crashing down onto the field. While no one was hurt, the metal narrowly missed several production staffers, and smaller debris scattered onto the field.

The Cowboys hoped to play their first game with the roof open since October 2022, but the incident forced a change in plans.

Owner Jerry Jones attributed the mishap to high winds. “Got a lot of wind gusts in this area this afternoon, and apparently that created some looseness up there,” Jones explained. “And then when we did try to open it up, the wind got in there and exacerbated the looseness.”

After workers secured the frame, the game proceeded with a closed roof.
