You'd think the TV networks would learn. The Cowboys will be in the national game on CBS come Sunday. Why put a team that has shown it won't win big December games on national TV? Oh that's right, there are a whole lot of folks out there who like to watch the Cowboys lose.
Fox reports that Sunday's Cowboys-Giants game that went to most of the country helped Fox's doubleheader game to the network's best overnight, major market rating (18.9) since the two teams got together in 2006 (19.1).
