FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys do not need "alternative facts" to describe their standing in the NFC. They are contenders.
Their loss to the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round was not made any easier with how the Atlanta Falcons dismantled the team that beat them in the NFC Championship Game.
More than a few Cowboys and more than a few thousand of their fans had to wonder how Mason Crosby missed a 41-yard field goal attempt on the Packers’ first drive Sunday after drilling field goals of 56 and 51 yards in the final two minutes against them.
