To me, it was the TE screen Trubisky threw in the Chicago game. Dallas was so fooled the two offensive linemen out front had no one to block for about 20 yards. To me, that play was symbolic of the season. In the same game, there was another play, a short pass to Corderelle Patterson that should have been stopped for a couple of yards. But about 8 Cowboys missed tackles and Patterson ran for 25 or 30 after the catch. I think those two plays encapsulated everything that was wrong with Dallas in 2019. Poor reparation, poor tackling, poor anticipation and football instincts. All of it rolled up into one big ball of mediocrity.

Not sure of any single defining play but here are highlights of the single game that would be indicative of 2019's ultimate end:

For me it’ll always be the drop/slightly behind thrown ball to Amari in the packers game. The way we were driving down the field it looked like we were about to dominate. Amari got two hands on the ball but for some godforsaken reason it goes right through into a waiting CB.
I think it woulda put the season on a whole new plane if we catches that and we win the game.

Damn! Those are ALL great choices.
Another one that comes to mind is Week 16 vs Eagles. Down 17-9, 01:21 left, 4th & 8 last chance from the 23, Cooper and Cobb substituted out of the game and we throw to the endzone - not even looking for a first down.

Can't really define one play as much as Dallas failing to become the first NFC East team to repeat as division champions since the '03-'04 Egals did so 15 years ago.
The division was given to Dallas on a silver platter and the entire organization failed in the last game and last play when Moore decided to bench our two top WR's on 4th and goal in Philly. And....Garrett didn't question it!
What's worse? Egals wouldn't have won the division had they of had the Saints & Rams on their schedule as Dallas did.

Witten fumble @ N.O.
Knew then and there the design for season success was flawed from jumpstreet, and it was same ol' same ol. The untouchables would fear no consequence despite failure after failure.
