Dallas Cowboys fans reveled after beating the Indianapolis Colts in their Sunday Night Football matchup on December 4. It was a close 21-19 game until the third quarter and could have been tied had the Colts not missed their two-point conversion. But the fourth quarter was a bloodbath of multiple turnovers from the Colts' offense, and each time they were made to pay dearly by the Cowboys.
With 33 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, Dallas secured a blowout 54-19 victory. It was also a Scorigami, meaning this is the first time this particular final scoreline has ever happened in the NFL.
Naturally, the Dallas fans are excited. They now have a 9-3 record and are more than likely to make the playoffs. Their team is second in the NFC East, trailing the Philadelphia Eagles, who have an NFL-best 11-1 record. With just two games separating them, the division is still up for grabs, considering that the teams will go head-to-head in the coming weeks.
Additionally, Odell Beckham Jr. is expected to visit Dallas this week to see if he will make them his new home. His impact last season on winning the Los Angeles Rams the Super Bowl will make the Cowboys fans even more optimistic. Some Cowboys fans feared for the Houston Texans, who they play next week and have an even worse record than the Indianapolis Colts.
Such sentiments were in full flow on social media as well.
How likely are the Dallas Cowboys to go all the way?
The Dallas Cowboys are an extremely strong team based on tonight's showing. However, in a rush to anoint them Super Bowl elects, we have to step back and realize that not one but two teams have a better record in the NFC than them. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings are better than them.
Since the Eagles are in their division, there is a good chance Dallas will make it to the playoffs as a Wild Card team. That means they could be on the road, whereas someone like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a losing record might be at home as NFC South division winners.
So, there is a long way to go before they can win the Super Bowl. Their recent history in the playoffs has also left a lot to be desired. But their triumph against the Indianapolis Colts today was not just a win but a statement. Whether Dallas goes all the way or not, they have ensured that their rivals will take notice.
