For seven straight weeks the Dallas Cowboys and their fans have carried the heavy burden of losing.
Six consecutive losses and a bye week have created a defeatist reality. Even the last taste of victory in September was bittersweet.
While defeating the Eagles 20-10, the Cowboys absorbed the vicious blow of losing franchise quarterback Tony Romo for several weeks.
The 2015 season has sidelined more key Dallas starters than any season these eyes have witnessed over decades.
Dallas hasn’t played one game with every starter together on the current roster. That’s even excluding released starters and those on season-ending injured reserve.
