Largest road margin of victory for the Cowboys. Those kind of stats always amaze me. Would’ve thought they’d have beaten *someone* by more than 37 on the road at some point in their history.

Their defense is phenomenal. The offense is. . . .not.

But this team could *easily* be 7-3. Except that Russell Wilson is a freak and now he's washed, too.
You could easily say that about a few teams in the NFL this year, namely the Patriots and the Jets, both of whom could be 7-3 as they have very good defenses and a shitshow of an offense.

Neither the Jets nor the Patriots are 3-7. So that doesn’t actually work as a comparison.

If I told you pre-season that the Raiders swept the Broncos..... have to think you'd guess they were a lot better than 3-7

They're both 6-4, you're really going out on a limb here.

Tony Dungy snarkily disputing the league saying the block on the Pats punt return TD was from the side.

Screw you, Tony. You sanctimonious loser.

Ok so if there was a block in the back, it's from the spot of the foul, yes? So it doesn't really matter, as the Pats end up kicking the game winning field goal from about 30 yards out.

Given Folk was 1/3 I don’t think it’s a layup.
He missed twice against a really stiff wind from much longer out. This would have been pretty much a layup. Yes, still a chance to miss it of course, but a very, very small one.

He drilled the PAT from roughly the spot he would have been kicking from. Probably an 85-90% chance he converts the kick (that said, new holder, wind . . . I would have been a wreck).

Wow some vague moralizing on this nfl broadcast. The world is indeed crazy, Cris.

lol what a stupid kick return. Just stand out of bounds and catch it and you gain 35 yards.

Jason Garret's persistent and unrelenting grin is unbearable. Pretty sure he'd grin through the news that a player died on the field.

Getting crushed takes a lot of shine off the Minnesota season and their invincibility. They have been frauds all year, winning by the skin of their teeth game after game.

They might be 8-2 with a negative point differential. They could be like the Steelers from 2020. 11-0 but also not very good.
Yup. 8-2 but 229-231.
