Fri Nov 22 12:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Cowboys’ Turpin Sets Speed Record in Texans Loss, Cowboys Suffer Historic Home Skid
**Arlington, TX** – Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin blazed a trail on Monday night, reaching a top speed of 22.36 mph on a 64-yard touchdown reception against the Houston Texans. This marks the fastest speed by any ball carrier this NFL season and a new record for the fastest play by a Cowboys player in the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016). However, the speedster’s performance was overshadowed by a crushing 34-10 defeat, extending the Cowboys’ unprecedented losing streak.
NFL Research confirmed that Monday’s loss marks the sixth consecutive home game in which the Cowboys have trailed by at least 20 points, dating back to last season’s playoff loss. This sets a new NFL record for consecutive home games with such a significant point deficit.
Elsewhere in the NFL, Week 11 saw victories for the Philadelphia Eagles (defeating the Washington Commanders), the Miami Dolphins (overcoming the Los Angeles Rams), and the Baltimore Ravens (in a close contest against the Cincinnati Bengals). Week 10 featured a Kansas City Chiefs win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, highlighted by Patrick Mahomes’ three touchdown passes. Earlier in the week, the Cleveland Browns pulled off an upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets edged out the Houston Texans. Week 8 saw the Steelers defeat the New York Giants thanks to a strong performance by Calvin Austin. The article also briefly mentioned the other games throughout the season.
