Yes, winning the division is an extremely long shot. Yes, Dallas did not look good in many ways. But they still have hope, and things to build on - and they are in a lot better shape than they would have been with a loss on Monday.
It is still highly improbable that the Dallas Cowboys are going to find a way to get back into the playoffs, just as it has been for weeks. While they have won two of their last three games and, more significantly, now have a win without Tony Romo taking the field, they are still trying to climb out of a deeper hole than any team has ever overcome in the history of the NFL.
