Grading the Cowboys emotional loss on Thanksgiving

What a difference a few days makes for everyone's feelings about the Dallas Cowboys’ chances at making a playoff run. The tragic death of strength and conditioning coordinator Markus Paul weighed heavily on the hearts and minds of the Cowboys players when they took the field. He was a man that each player had a relationship with and spent a lot of time with. So it’s just horrible timing that they took on a team fighting for a divisional lead while they were grieving for a friend. With that being said, there was still a football game played so it’s time to grade the Cowboys showing against the Washington Football Team (WFT).
