The Dallas Cowboys 13-3 regular season record, along with their number one seed in the NFC conference, met with disaster at AT&T Stadium on Sunday night. The Cowboys dug themselves out of a deep hole but were unable to force overtime against the Green Bay Packers, losing 34-31 on a last-second field goal. The Cowboys made it a contest, but Aaron Rodgers was just a little too good for the Dallas defense.
There is no sugarcoating the fact that this is a huge disappointment for the Cowboys and their fans. When you play as well as they had in the regular season and do everything you can to set yourself up for a run at the Super Bowl, coming up short is crushing, no matter the circumstances.
