Among the setbacks, a defeat to the New York Giants is characterized as one of the more forgivable losses on the list, while a late-season collapse against the Arizona Cardinals is singled out as the most catastrophic of the bunch. Both outlets frame the season as already littered with difficult endings for Dallas.
