FRISCO, Texas — Re-watching the Dallas Cowboys’ final game of their 2022 season is an exercise in self-harm, or a refusal to do something more useful with your time.
As painful as the original viewing was, the second and third are worse. You can watch again that their playoff game in Santa Clara against the 49ers was theirs to be won, and their offense didn’t make enough plays to do it.
We are months removed from that Jan. 22 afternoon, and anger has made its annual morphosis into optimism.
