If you think back far enough you can trace the beginning of the end for this decade’s Cowboys franchise to two tough breaks in 2015.
The first break came in week one of another win over the Giants thanks to late game heroics from Tony Romo. In that game, Dez Bryant, a guy whose signature hadn’t dried on a new five-year, $70 million deal left the game with a broken foot. He would miss the next five games and returned after the bye week.
The second break was Tony Romo breaking his collarbone in a week two win at Philadelphia.
