Another week, another addition to the loss column for Dallas.
The Dallas Cowboys spent their bye week trying to focus in on saving their season despite sitting at .500 with a 3-3 record. The club may have had an even record, but their 42 point differential entering Week 8 was the third-worst in the NFL. They seemed competitive for a half, with Mike McCarthy’s troops taking a four-point lead into the half. At one point they held a seven-point lead, their first time leading by more than three points in 30 days.
But the 10-6 halftime advantage saw them allow the San Francisco 49ers 21 straight points in the third quarter.
