"Coach Brian Schottenheimer likes to tell his Dallas Cowboys team that a game can't be won in the first, second or third quarters. It can only be won in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys certainly tried to show that a game can be lost in the first two quarters Sunday, going down, 21-0, to the Philadelphia Eagles with the game barely 18 minutes old."
"At 5-5-1, the Cowboys remain on the outside of the playoff chase at the moment. Their path to winning the NFC East will likely need a collapse from the 8-3 Eagles that matched what happened Sunday. A path to a wild-card spot is no sure thing either. On Thursday, the Cowboys play the Kansas City Chiefs, now 6-5 after an overtime win against Indianapolis Colts."
Coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasizes that games are decided in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys fell behind 21-0 early but rallied over the final 42 minutes, tying a franchise record for comebacks and winning 24-21 on Brandon Aubrey's 42-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. The team honored deceased teammate Marshawn Kneeland when Osa Odighizuwa waved Kneeland's flag in the locker room. Owner and GM Jerry Jones praised the team's grit and refusal to quit amid setbacks. At 5-5-1, Dallas remains outside the playoffs; a division title likely requires an Eagles collapse, and a wild-card berth is uncertain.
