What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Cowboys led by fourteen in the fourth quarter at home and lost thirty-three to thirty in overtime to Arizona, a team that was last in the standings.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call that a historic collaboration.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDallas had never lost a home game after leading by fourteen late, according to CBS Sports research, so they broke new ground.

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, I'm telling you, that is a first in franchise history.

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorArizona had two hundred eighty-six yards in the second half and Dallas had one fifty-seven.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRex, is a yard like a point?

  7. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt's the thing you have to hold on to. They didn't.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJerry Jones says no coaching change this season. His words were, "We can all get in line," which is a very organized way to run a problem.

  9. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSchottenheimer is ten and fourteen and one as head coach, and CBS Sports gave the game an F. Next up is Indianapolis on November eighth.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAn F is just a very committed E, Rex. And a week with the Colts coming is a chance to lead by fifteen.
