One of the biggest wins of Week 6 came from the Detroit Lions, who absolutely blew out the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. During the final minutes of the fourth quarter, the only drama revolved around whether the two teams were going to make NFL history.
With eight minutes left to play, the Lions were leading 47-9, but the Cowboys were on the cusp of scoring. With Cooper Rush at quarterback, the Cowboys drove down to Detroit’s five-yard line, but they didn’t score any points because Rush ended up throwing an interception. The fact that the Cowboys came up empty was notable, because it meant that the final score was 47-9, marking the first time in NFL history that a game had ever ended with the exact final score.
There have only been three scorigamis this season, and the Cowboys have now been involved in two of them. The last one for Dallas came back in Week 2 when they lost a home game to the Saints, 47-19. This also marks the fifth time since January 2022 that the Cowboys have been involved in a scorigami.
The 38-point margin of defeat ties the record for largest loss under Jerry Jones, who bought the team in 1989.
