FRISCO -- One player after another took the same, curious stance.
Maybe the loss to Indianapolis was for the best. Maybe the Cowboys had gotten a little full of themselves and needed to be knocked down.
Ezekiel Elliott went as far as to say the loss "was very much needed,'' a reality check that would work in the team's favor in the grand scheme of this season.
After ruminating on the words of Elliott and others, after giving careful consideration to the Cowboys recent level of performance and their current standing in the NFL, an obvious conclusion emerges.
