The Cowboys have grown accustomed to playing in games that are decided well before the final whistle blows, and many of them have been effectively over before halftime even hit. However, the Cowboys are usually on the winning side of those contests.
That wasn’t the case this week as the Cowboys saw their worst halftime deficit since 2020 and lost to the Bills 31-10. They clinched a playoff spot before kickoff, but it’s hard to enjoy such a distinction after getting blown out by a team that wouldn’t even make the postseason if things ended today. The Cowboys lost this game early on, and these five plays were a big reason why.
