The Dallas Cowboys were a disaster against the Philadelphia Eagles in a number of ways that might not be quantifiable by even the world’s most renowned mathematicians. One of their biggest transgressions was the way that they handled the game’s final real chance for their offense (there were plenty of mistakes before this as well). Facing fourth and eight with the slimmest of hope that they could still tie the game, Dallas sent out an offense that did not feature either Amari Cooper or Randall Cobb. Why?
It’s not clear if we’ll ever get that answer, but many were speculating throughout the game that Cooper was hurt given his poor performance and repeated absence during plays.
