Cue the Dumb and Dumber memes, because I’m telling you there’s a chance! The Dallas Cowboys started the year 2-7, in disarray and flailing miserably every time they stepped on the field for an entire month. Following the loss of franchise QB Dak Prescott, the team lost four straight contests by a total score of 110-41 on their way into the bye. The team had two weeks of insider trading preparation for the Minnesota Vikings, won, then floundered for two more embarrassing losses.
The schedule got easier and the Cowboys got their act together on defense against some bad opponents. Somehow, the team has forced 10 turnovers and the offense has blossomed with the extra opportunities, scoring at a clip similar to where they stood with Prescott early in the season. With three straight victories, Dallas is now 6-9 and tied for first place in the pitiful NFC East.
