The
2007 Dallas Cowboys season was the 48th season for the team in the
National Football League. The Cowboys finished the regular season tied for the best record in the NFC (13-3), and earned a first round
bye and
home field advantage throughout the playoffs. However, they lost their first playoff game to the eventual
Super Bowl champion
New York Giants, a team that they had defeated in their two regular-season matchups. This loss extended the Cowboys drought of playoff wins to eleven years and tied the NFL record of 6 straight playoff games lost.
Head Coach
