At one point on Sunday afternoon the Dallas Cowboys led by 17 points. Their 11th win of the season seemed secure and we were all fantasizing about the Chicago Bears holding on against the Philadelphia Eagles in hopes of setting up a true battle on Christmas Eve.
But then all hell broke loose. The Cowboys went three and out twice in the fourth quarter, including with an opportunity to ice things near the very end of regulation. The defense that everybody is now questioning pitched a three and out to start overtime, and an unfortunate Noah Brown tip led to the long week that we are just now starting.
