A tie. How do you properly evaluate a tie in the NFL? Since there is no literal way to declare a winner and loser, you have to go to something a little more subjective. And for Cowboys fans, the outcome should feel like something along the lines of a qualified win. Not an actual win, but at least it wasn’t the blowout loss many felt was coming in the Micah Parsons reunion game.
The Cowboys were without CeeDee Lamb and two starting offensive linemen, and were coming off a dreadful game against the Chicago Bears. The consensus among almost everyone was that the Cowboys were going to get pummeled.
But that’s not what happened. Dak Prescott played out of his mind, George Pickens exploded, the offensive line did its job on Parsons (with help from the RBs and TEs), and the defense… well, let’s just say they were out there, and made Green Bay at least work for their points by forcing them to convert third down after third down.
So it was a weird week. But where should we be as Cowboys fans now? Do we have confidence things are starting to move in the right direction? Vote in the poll below and hit the comments.
