"The Dallas Cowboys have been a featured team ever since the NFL introduced Monday Night Football back in 1970. There have only been three seasons - 1989, 1990, and 2002 - that the team hasn't played at least one game on a Monday night. But this season, beginning with Monday night's game at home against Arizona, they will do something they've never done before."
"It won't be back-to-back weeks with the bye between the games. However, it will still be consecutive games. The last time Dallas played two Monday night games in a three-week stretch was back in 1973. The Cowboys beat the Saints 40-3 in the second week of the season on a Monday night. After playing on Sunday in Week 3, Dallas was back on Monday Night Football in Week 4, losing to the Redskins 14-7."
"They've never played four games on Monday night in a single season. Monday Night Cowboys Dallas has played a total of 89 games on Monday Night Football. They will bring in a 52-37 all-time record on Monday Night Football into Monday's game. The first time Dallas played on Monday night was at the Cotton Bowl on Nov. 16, 1970. The St. Louis Cardinals rolled to a 38-0 victory that night."
The Cowboys have been featured on Monday Night Football since 1970, missing Monday appearances only in 1989, 1990 and 2002. This season they will play consecutive Monday night games for the first time, beginning with the home game against Arizona, creating back-to-back appearances across consecutive games rather than consecutive weeks. The team has appeared once in 24 seasons and three times in nine seasons, most recently three times in 2004. Dallas owns a 52-37 record in 89 Monday night games. The first Monday night appearance came Nov. 16, 1970 at the Cotton Bowl, a 38-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
