ARLINGTON — Let’s be real.

The Dallas Cowboys are in desperation mode.

After blowing a two-game lead in the NFC East earlier in the season and ample chances to build on it, the Cowboys (7-6) are facing a crucial game Sunday against the Green Bay Packers (6-6-1) at AT&T Stadium, needing to stay within at least one game of the division-leading Philadelphia Eagles (8-5) with three games to play.

While blame for much of the Cowboys’ struggles largely can be placed on the play of a defense that is on pace to set team and possibly league records for futility, the outcome of the season is being placed on familiar shoulders.

Quarterback Tony Romo, historically and often erroneously blamed for the team’s past failures, is now considered the Cowboys’ saving grace.
