IRVING, Texas -- In Jason Garrett's process-oriented world, there is little use for the big-picture view. That doesn't mean there is no use for the big-picture view.
At the halfway point of their season, the Dallas Cowboys are 2-6. The only teams with a worse record than the Cowboys are the 1-7 Detroit Lions and 2-7 Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers. The Cowboys' six-game losing streak is the team’s longest since they lost seven in a row to close the 1989 season.
And yet the Cowboys' chances of recovering this season cannot be dismissed.
