ARLINGTON, Texas – Away from the football field, if someone hands you a present this time of year, it’s OK to wait until Christmas morning before opening.
In the NFL, if a present lands in your lap, you don’t wait around. You tear into that package like a 3-year-old.
The Cowboys not only received a major gift on Saturday night when the Commanders knocked off the Eagles, but then another small present came along when the Colts decided not to play their most dynamic offensive weapon.
Two gifts. Two opportunities. Too good to be true.
The Cowboys took advantage in a major way, proving to us all once again just how different this season is. In years past, the Cowboys have been prone to maybe step off the gas when things were looking good. We’ve seen this team fail to seize the moment, and I’ll be honest, when it was sitting on the table for them this time around, I wondered just how the Cowboys would respond.
Umm, did we get the answer?

They responded like this:
- The Cowboys offense had its best game of the season. They scored touchdowns on their first four drives and put up a season-high 42 points.
- The defense had its best performance of the season and did so against one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks. Aside from a fourth-quarter touchdown against the backups, the Cowboys defense posted a shutout when it was starters vs. starters.
- With the NFC East title on the line, Tony Romo delivered with his best game of the season. That’s what you want from your quarterback and leader. This game couldn’t have been bigger and Romo couldn’t have played better. If that’s not an example of taking the bull by the horns then I guess I don’t know what is
