The Dallas Cowboys had perhaps their best performance of the season last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That it came just a few hours after finding out that they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention made it all the more impressive.
It was the kind of game in which Dallas had to play complementary football all the way until the final whistle. Early on the offense took advantage of just about every opportunity and scored on almost every possession they had in the first half. As the game wore on the defense took over and ultimately came away with the turnover that won the game.
