Yet the Cowboys defense becomes panic mode. Offside then holding. The crowd of 90000+ strong are just silent, fearing impending doom.
That defense statistically may not be the worst in the league, but when it's clutch, they are non-existent. We saw it in the overtime last week in Arizona and on the last two drives tonight.

I'm afraid as a Cowboys fan it isn't even a mild surprise. Been a long time since they had a good dependable defense. They score 34 stinkin point on the Giants and still manage to lose. Amazing.
