The Dallas Cowboys caught multiple breaks during New Year’s Eve weekend.
First, there was the messy he said-he said situation between the Detroit Lions and referee Brad Allen that led to the Lions’ potential game-winning two-point conversion nullified, which preserved the Cowboys’ 20–19 victory Saturday night.
The gifts continued for the Cowboys after the Philadelphia Eagles surprisingly fell to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, opening an opportunity for Dallas to steal the NFC East next week. The Eagles have played so poorly that they might be one-and-done in the postseason.
