"Pretty much all the Dallas Cowboys had to play for on Sunday in New York, aside from pride, was a chance to finish the year at .500. They didn't seem very much interested in doing that once the Giants closed out the first half with a go-ahead touchdown. For the second-straight year, Dallas closed out a season with a losing record. It is the first time since 2002 that the Cowboys finished below .500 for a second-straight year."
"In addition to a second-straight losing year, the Cowboys lost four of their last five games. It was also the second time in three weeks that Dallas lost a game by the score of 34-17. There is one positive for first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer to take into the 2026 season. The Cowboys improved their record by a half game over last year's 7-10 finish."
