"Sunday in Denver was a litmus test for the Dallas Cowboys. They set out to take on one of the NFL's better teams in the Broncos, and while they are an AFC team and therefore a loss to them is the most minimal kind of defeat Dallas could ever suffer from a tie-breaking standpoint, the manner in which they lost matters greatly for overall context."
"No one is here to overreact to one loss. The difference between 3-4-1 and what would have been 4-3-1 isn't massive enough to swing the pendulum, but that the amount of runway left for Dallas to get off the ground is diminishing and that they looked like they had no business even doing so given how they fared against a quality opponent in Denver, those things definitely swing it a bit."
Sunday in Denver served as a significant measure of the Dallas Cowboys' current trajectory, revealing a troubling performance against a quality Broncos team. The loss to an AFC opponent carries minimal tie-breaking damage but the manner of defeat raised broader concerns about the team's competitiveness. Reports emerged that the Cowboys sought an additional pass rusher, highlighting roster unease, while jokes about Micah Parsons circulated. The team has limited runway to recover, with comparisons to last season's chaotic decisions. A previous trade for Jonathan Mingo has yielded little return, underscoring persistent roster and strategic doubts.
