As a fan of Dallas, it was hard to not root for them to win this game, but they were really better off with the loss.
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. And on rare occasions, you win by losing. For the Dallas Cowboys, that is what happened when they dropped the final game of the 2015 regular season to their arch-rivals from Washington 34-23. It would drop the season record to a dismal 4-12, but it would also ensure them of no worse than the fourth overall pick in the NFL draft.
