We have known the 2026 Dallas Cowboys schedule for some time now, long enough to draw legitimate pros and cons from what it has in store for the team.

Looking forward is a lot of fun. Everything is unknown. The possibilities are endless. Anything is possible.

Looking backwards isn’t representative of anything necessarily. It can be helpful and offer some sense of guidance, but who anybody was in the past is in no way representative of who they will be in the future.

How Dallas did last time they played each of their opponents

In the interest of discussion, today we are looking at how the Cowboys fared against each of their opponents last time they faced them.

For the record we are going to be specific here. By that I mean that if the Cowboys are hosting or visiting a team then the result listed will be the last time they hosted or visited the team in question. As an example the Cowboys will visit the Houston Texans in 2026, so for the purposes of this conversation we are interested in when they did so back in 2018 and not when they last hosted them in 2024.

If you amass a record out of this, that is hardly the appropriate word, then the Cowboys would be 7-10. Again that is a weird way to put it, but you get the picture.

Hopefully all of these wins can be defended and the losses can be avenged in 2026.
