You have to go back all the way to August 31, 2014 for when Dublin last lost a Championship game. That defeat came against then Ulster champions Donegal, who Cavan defeated in last month's provincial decider. The Breffni have been the unfancied side in all of their Championship games this year, so it won't be anything new to them today.
