When the Cowboys had first and goal at the six with twenty-seven seconds left, I thought for the first time, “What if the Eagles lose?” It’s always miserable heading into a bye week with a loss, but a loss at home against the Cowboys? And losing on a drive like this? I started to mentally prepare myself for the two weeks ahead (15 days to be exact, with the next game being a Monday nighter). If the Eagles lost we’d all carry that shame and disgust through our lives for two whole weeks. Our relationships would deteriorate, our work would suffer, and people would comment about the “light going out in our eyes.
Eagles beating Cowboys creates two weeks of glory
