"To lose to the New York Giants 34-17 in the regular-season finale was not the way many of us envisioned this Week 18 matchup to go. It's not so much the Dallas Cowboys lost the game, but the way they lost it. They said they would play to win, but they never really looked like that during the game. The loss was definitely disappointing and not exactly the most ideal way to head into the offseason."
"If Jadeveon Clowney was looking to make a statement in the regular-season finale against the Giants, he certainly accomplished his goal. He was at his best Sunday afternoon and finished the game with a total of three QB sacks as well as recovering a fumble. The veteran pass rusher was making plays all over the field against the Giants, showing his nonstop motor and relentless ability."
"It wasn't all that surprising the Cowboys lost to the Giants in the season finale, but the way they lost was extremely disappointing. They played poorly from the get-go and it wasn't really the lasting impression many of us wanted to see from them heading into the offseason with a lot of work to do. Winning or losing really wasn't the objective this week, rather finishing on a strong note they could hopefully build upon in the coming months."
Dallas lost 34-17 to the New York Giants in the regular-season finale, producing a disappointing finish to the season. The team never consistently played like it was trying to win and left a sour impression heading into the offseason. Jadeveon Clowney had a standout performance with three quarterback sacks and a fumble recovery, finishing the year as Dallas' sack leader with 8.5 sacks and likely to be a re-signing priority. The defense repeatedly failed to get off the field, surrendered chunk plays, and suffered from penalties, missed tackles, and poor discipline. Fan distrust of the organization increased, and Matt Eberflus' defensive unit faced significant criticism.
