The Cowboys' charmed 2016 season ultimately ended as star-crossed as the franchise's other endeavors over the last 21 years. Super Bowl-level hopes morphed into a face slap of regret Sunday night as Green Bay converted a third-and-20 with an impossible throw-and-catch then hit the game-winning field goal on the final play.
As Cowboys safety Barry Church contemplated in the aftermath, what does a 13-3 regular-season and the top-seed in the NFC mean without the championship? Still, as quarterback Dak Prescott and many other players kept returning to, the loss doesn't erase the special season put together by this unique, record-setting, rookie-fueled version of the Cowboys.
