INDIANAPOLIS -- A swagger that has been evident in the Cowboys step in recent weeks?
Gone.
The momentum the team built as it rolls toward the postseason?
Slow that roll.
Dallas will win an underwhelming NFC East. Sunday's 23-0 loss to Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium simply delayed the inevitable.
Many will look at the Cowboys first loss in six weeks and see a team that had become too full of itself. As owner Jerry Jones joked afterwards, "I thought if your name was Jones or the Cowboys they handed it to you."
What the Colts handed the Cowboys was something else entirely.
