As the Dallas Cowboys season comes to a bittersweet end, we reflect on how America’s failed to finish the fight, their core mantra for the year.

Sean Lee Makes It To The Pro Bowl

The Future Belongs To The Cowboys, Now They Must Seize It

An unheralded rookie quarterback, drafted much later than the vast majority of franchise signal-callers, who was never expected to start early in his career, suddenly takes over as the starter after an impressive preseason. He goes on to have one of the best rookie seasons ever with a QB rating in the triple digits, a sparkling yards per attempt near 8.0, over 3,000 yards passing and 30 total touchdowns despite playing in a ball-control offense, all while limiting turnovers.
