EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A year ago, the Dallas Cowboys were in a much more difficult spot than they are now after Sunday's 24-22 loss to the previously winless New York Jets.
The Cowboys in 2018 were 3-5 after eight games, needing a game to get things together after trading for wide receiver Amari Cooper before turning things around to finish 10-6, win the NFC East and win a playoff game.
The Cowboys' 3-3 start to this season, however, seems different because of how good they looked in their three-game winning streak to start 2019 --granted, those wins came against teams that are a combined 3-14 -- and how bad they have looked in their three-game losing streak.
