I don’t care if it was 66 degrees under crystal clear and windless skies, the Dallas Cowboys didn’t have the belly to come into Foxboro and beat the Patriots. Start there.
As was mentioned in our preview for the game, the Cowboys got fat on bad teams this year and — depleted as they are with an offense that was objectively not very good at all (their first two scoring drives went a total of 45 feet; all told their three scoring drives were 19 plays and 56 yards) — the Patriots are far from a bad team at 10-1.
I’m back on the historic defense bandwagon after this one and I’ll add an aura chaser to it because the wind and the rain and the specter of the Patriots in Foxboro had the Cowboys and Jason Garrett embracing the 13-9 loss as some kind of moral victory.
