MINNEAPOLIS -- The Cowboys are confident next season will be different, that the past few months were a suspension-induced blip and the nucleus remains in place to be part of the championship mix.
After watching Super Bowl LII, it’s hard to imagine how.
Management can’t ignore what unfolded Sunday night. The game was painful for the Cowboys beyond the fact arch-rival Philadelphia walked away with a 41-33 victory and its first Lombardi Trophy.
The Cowboys are ill-equipped to compete in a game of this nature. They don’t have the explosive receiving corps that was on display for Philadelphia and New England.
