After three straight weeks in which the Cowboys ended the day with a win while fueling discussion over whether ugly wins should really be celebrated, the NFL served up a stark reminder of how hard wins are to come by. The Buccaneers got shut out by the Saints, the Cardinals got blown out by the Lions, and the Packers were one two-point conversion away from losing to the Tyler Huntley-led Ravens.
The craziness of Sunday’s slate of games catapulted the Cowboys into the second seed in the NFC, just behind Green Bay, with three games remaining on the year.
