There are playoff games and then there are “playoff” games. You know the kind I’m talking about. Of course you do. We’re talking about the Dallas Cowboys for goodness sake. In each of the first three seasons that Jason Garrett coached the team, the Cowboys faced win-and-in situations in Week 17 against each of their division rivals. They lost all three of those games, but that’s not what we’re here to talk about.
We are here to discuss two different losses that the Cowboys had, albeit in Week 16, of two different seasons. The Cowboys just lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in that slot in a must-win game, but did you know that Sunday wasn’t the first time that Dallas lost a game in that slot in recent memory?
