How many times can you watch the same thing over and over and still enjoy it? At this point in the year, this is an question with wildly different answers. If we’re talking about Christmas movies or Thanksgiving specials as the calendar turns to November, there may be some re-watch value. If it’s an NFL team that entered week nine on a two-game losing streak and third in their division before losing again to drop three straight for the first time since 2020, patience within the fanbase may be thin.
This was already the case for the 2024 Dallas Cowboys, but their latest 27-21 loss at the Atlanta Falcons marked their second straight off a bye week that served as the last real chance for this team to regroup and remain within contention to repeat as division winners.
