IRVING, Texas -- Under the current NFL playoff format, no team has ever started the season 2-6 and made the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys won't be the first.
We can talk about Tony Romo's return in two weeks and all the alleged talent on the Cowboys' roster, but the reality is this team has found ways to lose all season. There's no evidence that will change in the season's final eight games.
Only the 1-7 Detroit Lions have a worse record in the NFC than the Cowboys.
As you would expect, coach Jason Garrett refused to give a concession speech after the Cowboys' 33-27 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium.
