A night of long-sought glory for the Philadelphia Eagles. A day of reckoning for Jason Garrett and the Dallas Cowboys.
For the third time since Garrett has walked the Cowboys sidelines as coordinator or head coach, an NFC East team has been crowned Super Bowl champs. This time it's different.
When Jerry Jones hired Garrett in 2007 for an undetermined job that turned out to be offensive coordinator (and head coach-in-waiting), it was because the owner believed there was coaching greatness in the former backup quarterback. It was no knock on the young coach when the Giants' Tom Coughlin stunned first the Cowboys and eventually New England in that 2007 season.
