got a huge win over the Los Angeles Chargers (+5.5) last Monday, and that victory was a big relief to the Cowboys, and their fans. The team, and the fanbase, seemed shell-shocked after the San Francisco 49ers (-7) just destroyed them 42-10. That supposed ‘measuring stick’ game showed that the Cowboys were nowhere close to measuring up. The Cowboys needed something to turn the momentum around before hitting the bye week.
The did go on the road in a primetime game and get a 20-17 win in a mistake-filled game versus the Chargers.
