Sturm: Morning After - Sweeping The Commanders Out Of Divisional Race

We continue to be amazed.
It is difficult to articulate how far the reality of the 2016 season has strayed from the projections of the summer - especially once the veteran QB was injured in Seattle (which is after the backup veteran QB was injured in Oxnard). But, know this: the premise of owning one defeat as the calendar turns to December seemed about as far-fetched as it gets.
And yet, here we are.
The Cowboys are no longer a surprise in the 2016 season. They are now squarely on the radar of potential teams to play in Houston on February 5th. As insane as that idea appeared 4 months ago, we might as well admit the reality. The Cowboys are one of the very rare teams in the league right now that look like they may be very difficult to take down.
It once again played out before our eyes on Thanksgiving Day, when the Washington Commanders had to feel pretty good about the effort they were able to produce, yet always looked like the 2nd best team on the field. In losing 31-26, the Commanders can take solace in the fact that they traded body blows with Dallas for much of the afternoon, but most any close viewer of the proceedings would leave with the same conclusion: Dallas was always going to leave with the "W".
They are simply that good.
