This game was a perfect storm. I should have seen it a mile away (actually a mile high away) but didn't. In my betting days this was an easy play.
Denver played the role of home dog against a team coming off an emotional win against a divisional opponent. Add to it that no one is harder to beat at home than Denver, the thin air, and a dominant defense and you have a recipe for disaster.
Dallas played like a team that was playing the week after they won the Super Bowl ... completely flat. I'm sure that's how they felt too. All they had been hearing about all offseason leading into the Giant's game was how NY had their number. Even Dak admitted this was not like every other game and then they dominated them. They might as well have let them hoist the trophy afterwards.
Then they ran into a buzzsaw. The youth on this team just got dealt a big dose of reality via a salty defense that was tired of hearing about the big bad Cowboys and their dominant OL. This team needed this no matter how hard it was to watch. Now we'll see how they respond. I think people are reading way to much into this loss though. This game was all about emotion. Denver brought it in spades and the Cowboys didn't.
