 The Cowboys went into a free-fall in 1988.After starting the season 2–2, a last-second loss in New Orleans started a 10-game Cowboy losing streak.Among the few bright spots in the season were the team's first-round draft pick, wide receiver Michael Irvin (whom Schramm had predicted would spur the team's "return from the dead"), and a Week 15 victory against the Redskins in Washington, Tom Landry's last.
