The Texas Rangers went 11-0 on the road in the playoffs en route to the first World Series championship in franchise history.

It’s a feat never before witnessed in the history of Major League Baseball. A perfect run of that length will live forever in Rangers lore … and may serve as inspiration for their neighbors across the street.

The Dallas Cowboys are Super Bowl hopefuls this season. Tied with the Philadelphia Eagles atop the NFC East at 10-4, Dak Prescott and Co. are looking to end a title drought that’s nearly three decades long.

As well as the Cowboys have looked this season, one glaring issue stands out that brings this back to the Rangers. Dallas is 3-4 on the road, with the latest outing being a 31-10 beatdown at the Buffalo Bills.

“Yeah, we got to do what the Rangers do,” Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

There are three games left in the regular season for Dallas, including road games at the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders, to figure out their playoff seeding. The No. 1 seed in the NFC is still in play, which would mean nothing by home games in the playoffs at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys are 7-0 at home.

They don’t exactly know why they’re so much better at AT&T Stadium, which sits adjacent to Globe Life Field, but they obviously want some of that Rangers’ road mojo. With the path to the Super Bowl possibly going through the San Francisco 49ers or Eagles, getting things figured out on the road would certainly help.

Just ask the Rangers.
