Christmas Eve, a day typically filled with joy and anxious anticipation, was spent in disappointment and embarrassment by full Dallas sports fans. And no, it’s not because of anything the Dallas Stars did.
The Dallas Cowboys, a team known as the centerpiece in Dallas sports history, were eliminated from playoff contention on Christmas Eve. They fell at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, another team vying for one of the final playoff spots in the NFC.
With the loss, the Cowboys missed the playoffs for the sixth time in the last eight years. But falling short of the postseason this year is a bit more depressing than it has been in years past.
