ARLINGTON -- Those who choose to fret about the cracks in Michelangelo's David rather than revel in its beauty, those who insist we won't discover what this Cowboys team is all about until it faces adversity are ignoring a universal truth.
The Cowboys have overcome plenty of adversity this season. Sunday's 27-17 win over Baltimore is the latest example. An offense that couldn't get anything going early couldn't be stopped late to extend its winning streak to a franchise record nine games.
A defense that was gashed early and missing two starters in the secondary responded to ensure the Cowboys are now working on 71 days without a loss.
