The Dallas Cowboys had extremely long odds to sneak into the playoffs headed into a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and now need a major miracle after allowing J.J. McCarthy to carve them up in a 34-26 loss. All of the excitement about their resurgence has evaporated after back-to-back defensive letdowns against NFC North foes.
Dallas is now allowing 30.0 points per game, more than all NFL teams except the Cincinnati Bengals. Their inability to get stops has wasted another wildly productive year from Dak Prescott, who has the offense humming.
