Did the Cowboys Just Wake Up? Or Is This a Tease? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
from The Sunset Lounge DFW · host Stolen Water Media LLC
It’s Monday, November 24th, and today Norm is just wondering: when was the last time the Dallas Cowboys delivered a win that made fans scream, throw things, swear they were done, and then pretend they believed all along? Because after falling behind 21–0 — complete with a failed fourth-down attempt, a fumbled punt, multiple drops, and enough self-inflicted pain to qualify as performance art — somehow, someway, the Cowboys decided to be a football team again. From there? Dallas chipped, clawed, and lucked its way back into what turned into one of their most meaningful wins in years — a 24–21 comeback over the defending Super Bowl champs, the division rival Eagles, and the team that’s made the NFC East feel like a one-team league. So… what does it mean? A turning point? A false alarm? A setup for heartbreak on Thanksgiving? Well, buckle up — because Norm breaks down the chaos, the odds, and exactly what a path to the playoffs looks like now that this team has decided losing isn’t as fun as we all feared. For now? We savor it. For exactly three days.
