The Cowboys finished their first season with zero wins, 11 losses, and one tie, finishing last in the Western Conference and in the NFL for that season. Due to ties not counting as a half-win/half-loss at the time, the Cowboys became the first post-World War II team in NFL history to have a .000 winning percentage, being equaled since by the 1976 Buccaneers, 2008 Lions, and 2017 Browns.
Their record was also worse than Dallas' previous entry into the NFL, the Dallas Texans, who finished 1–11 in their only season in 1952, and relocated after that season to Baltimore (being rebranded as the Colts).
