NFL Power Rankings: Cowboys looked great vs. Giants, but are they Super Bowl great?

Don't worry, Dallas Cowboys fans. Soon enough your team will lose, and you can go back to yelling about firing the coach and replacing the quarterback.

Every Cowboys loss is met with apocalyptic response, which has obscured something: The Cowboys have been really good the past couple of seasons, just without a deep playoff run. They don't need to fire Mike McCarthy (31-20 as Cowboys coach) or dump Dak Prescott (career 97.6 passer rating) every time they lose to another NFL team. Losing one game turns Cowboys backers into SEC fans, where overreaction is a second language.
