The Dallas Cowboys are back in second place in the NFC East. With just weeks left in the regular season, Dallas’ Week 16 loss to Miami and the Eagles’ win over the Giants has put Philadelphia back in the lead.
Both teams found themselves in close games. Despite a mostly uninspiring performance, the Cowboys had a one-point lead over the Dolphins with under four minutes to go. But a facemask penalty on Damone Clark, followed by more defensive letdowns, allowed Miami to milk the clock and hit a gimme field goal for the victory.
