Six losses in a row.
It was a back-and-forth contest between division foes, and with two seasons likely hanging in the balance, the coin again landed on the wrong side for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The first half was a low-scoring defensive showdown, as the teams went to the half tied at 7-7. The second half was a completely different story, as the teams scored 20 points each, with the final three coming via a Dan Bailey field goal that deflected off the upright and through the goal posts with two seconds left on the clock to force overtime.
But the Eagles won the overtime coin toss, as the coin hit the ground with tails facing up (although some believe they heard the Eagles captains call heads), and they drove 80 yards to win the game, capped by a 41-yard catch-and-run touchdown by Jordan Matthews after Byron Jones slipped to the turf.
At 2-6, there are still plausible scenarios that could lead to the Cowboys reaching the playoffs, but at this point, the outlook has become bleak for a season that started with as much promise as any in recent Cowboys history.
