Was it too late?
The Dallas Cowboys made the blockbuster trade for Amari Cooper with a fairly clear intention of turning the season around. That means making the playoffs. The problem, of course, is that 3-4 record and the current game-and-a-half lead Washington has in the NFC East. Dallas is in a hole, and with just nine games to go, that lead will be hard to overcome. And with Washington facing the woeful New York Giants this week while the Cowboys are on a bye, the lead is more than likely going to be two full games soon.
