The 2015 Dallas Cowboys season was the franchise's 56th season in the National Football League, the seventh playing their home games at AT&T Stadium and the fifth full season under head coach Jason Garrett. The team finished the regular season at 4-12. It was the team's worst record since 1989, in Jerry Jones' first year as owner when they went 1-15.
Notes
Despite starting the season 2-0 and leading the NFC East, the Cowboys lost their next seven games and finished the season by going 2-12 in their final 14 games. Their collapse from a solid start was primarily due to injuries by starting quarterback Tony Romo and starting wide receiver Dez Bryant, which both occurred in week 2 of the season. Brandon Weeden started the next 3 games in which he lost, and then was benched in week 7 following the bye week in replacement for Matt Cassel who was, at the time, just released by the Buffalo Bills. Cassel then lost the Cowboys their next 4 games until Tony Romo recovered from his broken collarbone injury and won their first game in 9 weeks against the Dolphins. However, in a week 12 loss against the undefeated Panthers, Romo suffered a second collarbone injury and was later ruled out for the season. Matt Cassel then started the next 3 games for the Cowboys with a week 13 win against the rival Redskins. However, after a poor performance against the New York Jets in week 15 in the 1st half, Cassel was benched in favor of backup Kellen Moore, who then went on to lose the rest of the games of the season.

The Cowboys opened the season at home against their rival, the New York Giants, led by the quarterback-receiver tandem of Eli Manning and young Odell Beckham.
