Officially, the Dallas Cowboys ’ season is not over. Not even with a 3-9 record following Tuesday’s 34-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
But in reality, it is over. And maybe it has been over for weeks now. Maybe it ended when the Cowboys lost Dak Prescott for the season in October.
The Cowboys continued to hang on the notion that anything was possible considering the lackluster play of the NFC East; that everything was still in front of them; that they just needed to put it all together.
They can continue to say that if they want -- they are just two games out of first place - but it will ring hollow.
