Were the 2024 Cowboys better on the road?

2024 was rough. Dallas finished 7-10, and somehow the home games were the worst. I wanted to see how lopsided it really was.

Here:

Dallas went 5-3 on the road and 2-7 at home, but the scores are even more lopsided than the record. On the road they basically broke even, outscoring teams by 2 points total. At home they got outscored by 120, including a 47-9 loss to Detroit. Losing Dak after Week 9 obviously hurt, but the home blowouts started way before that.

The yellow column shows the week. Week 7 was a bye.

What I Notice

Dallas won 5 of 8 away games and 2 of 9 home games. The road record was better, but Dallas still had some big losses away from home.

Key

Location
Home means Dallas played at its own stadium. Away means the other team's stadium.
Point Margin
Dallas points minus opponent points. A negative number means Dallas lost.
Result
W means a win and L means a loss.
