There ' s nothing to be ashamed of out there tonight . That was a damn good Cowboys team we played out there . And we gave it our best shot . Problem was defense . Main issue was that damn onside kick . Defense hadn ' t stopped them for most of the day , at least not to the effect that I Would trust them to . And then Gruden goes and onsides kicks it , when they could have kicked it deep . Doing that gave Dallas excellent field position which they capitalized on . This is a game that they could have won , but they just ran into a better team . It hurts . If there ' s any silver lining it ' s that they might not lose the rest of the year . Cardinals and Eagles are certainly beatable , you know Chicago is , and Carolina can be beat . Dallas out there showed why they have 9 wins . Elliot is devastating and Prescott manages the offense well . Props to them . Redskins had a shot but I honestly believe the game turned on that onside kick . They NEVER should have kicked that . NEVER .
