Cowboys Flashback: Gritty and Resilient

Let's be real - Sunday's game against the Commanders was forgettable to say the least; now the team turns its attention to a rematch against Tampa Bay to open the playoffs.

Not the finish the Dallas Cowboys were planning for on Sunday, but the team has to put it in the past with the division-leading Philadelphia Eagles coming to town this weekend.

It came down to the final seconds between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans in a game that most thought would be a bit of a blowout; however, the defense continues to keep the Cowboys in games, while Dak Prescott orchestrated an impressive 2:00 drill to lead the team to a 27-23 win over in-state rival.

Listen to post game reaction from the Dallas Cowboys after a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The NFL played their first week 18 in NFL history as the league added another regular season game to the season, but to a lot of Cowboys and Eagles fans this was just a glorified preseason game due to the fact that both teams have already secured a playoff spot. With covid and injuries both teams had a lot of starters missing but in true fashion this is a divisional rivalry game and both teams came to play.

The Dallas Cowboys played their final regular season home game against the best team on the road in the NFL this season the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals entered week 17 with a record of 7-1 on the road and Kyler Murray leaves his home still undefeated at AT&T Stadium. As the Cardinals beat the Cowboys 25-22.

Prior to kick off Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys already secured their first NFC East Championship since 2018 thanks to a strength of victory tiebreaker compliments of the Raiders win over the Broncos. Most of the players had no idea as they took the field to beat Washington 56-14.

Sunday the Cowboys played NFC East rival the New York Giants, who are already out of the playoff race, but could affect the Cowboys seeding. Luckily the cowboys were able to secure a win 21-6 but we will have to wait a little longer before we find out if the Cowboys have clinched the division.

"We are going to win this game" is what Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy said to the media when he returned to the facility after dealing with covid. There were mixed feelings about his statement, but Cowboys fans overall appreciated the confidence and it worked. Cowboys closed out week 14 with a victory 27- 20 over divisional rivals the Washington Football Team.

The Cowboys headed to the boot with some big time starters back in the line-up for the offense and the defense as they suit up to take on the New Orleans Saints who announced earlier this week that they were starting Taysom Hill at quarterback. Demarcus Lawrence I'm sure didn't care who was playing quarterback for the Saints he was just excited to get his feet wet again as he suited up for his first game since week 1.

The Cowboys had the most penalties Thursday night in franchise history with a total of 28 in their 33-36 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Week 11 has been circled on most fans calendars since the NFL schedule came out. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Dallas Cowboys at the Arrowhead stadium. The Chiefs defense won the game holding the cowboys to just 9 points, no touchdowns and Chris Jones had a career high 3.5 sacks. Final score 19 to 9 cowboys losing their second in 3 games.

The cowboys as a whole looked great on both sides of the ball and special team in this huge victory over the Falcons 43 to 3. Last time the cowboys won by 40 or more was during week 8 in 2000 against the Arizona Cardinals. No one is happier about this win then Cowboys Defensive Coordinator and former Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Dan Quinn who received the game ball.

Week 9 the Dallas Cowboys kicked off their first home game in 28 days against the Denver Broncos. The boys haven't beat the Broncos since 1995 and well even though Cowboys were a huge favorite going into this game Dallas was unable to secure their 7th straight win of the season. Broncos win 30 to 16.

Week 8 was a spooky game for Cowboys Nation and not just because the game was played on Halloween night. Leading up to the game Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was listed as a game time decision. Which definitely frightened fans. But no cowboys curse this week. The boys beat the Vikings 20 to 16 and now are now 6-1 for the first time since 2016 lead by back up QB Cooper Rush.
