The Cowboys managed to come away with a win on Sunday by the narrowest of margins, and a lot of things had to go just right in the final minutes of the game for the team to end up with a 1-1 W/L record. Had they not, we’d be discussing an 0-2 record and a must-win game against the Eagles next week, as only 3% of teams with an 0-3 start have historically made the playoffs.
But as Bill Parcells was fond of saying, “you are what your record says you are,” and that’s certainly true of the 2021 Cowboys.
