INDIANAPOLIS -- The T-shirts and hats can wait.
Instead of winning their second NFC East title in three seasons to earn the right to wear those shirts and hats with a victory, the Dallas Cowboys of the first half of the season showed up in their 23-0 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
It was the first time the Cowboys have been shut out in a game since Bill Parcells' first year as coach in 2003, when they lost 12-0 to the New England Patriots in Week 11.
