Hey Guys:
What NFL team has the record for the most consecutive victories on opening day? Please tell me the team, and the years. Thanks!
Sincerely,

The streak was broken when Pittsburgh beat the Cowboys on Monday Night in Week 1 of the 1982 season.

I've always wondered which team has the most straight losses on opening week. Anyone knows?

The current Browns have to be getting close, if they're not already there. They've lost their last 10, and have won only once since returning in '99.

In the Steelers 1982 highlights they show the Cowboys coming on the field in their classic jerseys but playing the game in their new generic numbered jerseys. Did they change after warm-ups or was that just a weird NFL Films edit?
