As the Dallas Cowboys enter their Week 6 matchup on Monday Night Football in Los Angeles against the Chargers, they do so with high hopes.
Hopes that they can get their season back on track after an embarrassing showing in San Francisco, a 32 point loss where old, ugly habits creeped back.
Hope is the word that I want Cowboys Nation to hang on to, no matter how you feel after the disappearing act versus the 49ers.
I know. You’ve hoped before, and come up empty.
Have faith that the real Dallas Cowboys are much closer to the team that has won by a combined score of 108-13 in their three victories.
Show faith that their two losses by a combined 44 points to the Cardinals and 49ers are a result of those “any given Sunday” moments.
I purposely waited until Monday morning to release this story because I wondered if Sunday October 15th would be “any given Sunday” for any other teams, and boy did the football gods help me out.
The last two undefeated teams in the league both fell on the road to the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns, teams with a combined four victories and backup quarterbacks at the helm.
Buffalo also had their hands full until the final play versus the New York Giants, but just squeaked out a victory.
Those games just helped hammer in my point that any team in the NFL is capable of losing to any other team on any given day.
Let’s take a look at previous Cowboys Super Bowl teams who had a bad loss during the regular season.
I will even throw in a few Super Bowl teams since 2000 who also have bad regular season losses.
