Cowboys to take aim at streak of mediocrity in 2017

The Dallas Cowboys, the franchise with the best win percentage in NFL history, haven't had consecutive double-digit win seasons in 20 years.

Only the New York Jets (1986), Cleveland Browns (1988), Carolina Panthers (21 years) and Detroit Lions (87 years) have longer streaks of ineptitude. Carolina and Detroit have never had consecutive seasons with double-digit wins.

The Cowboys will attempt to end this streak for the sixth time since 1996.

The streak has spanned five coaches, from Barry Switzer to Jason Garrett. Wade Phillips had two opportunities to end the streak and failed both times.
