The Cowboys trailed 20-0 in the first quarter after losing three fumbles and seeing a fake punt try fail. They were down 29-10 at halftime after the defense allowed scores on six straight possessions.

They were down 39-24 with less than five minutes to play. According to ESPN Stats & Information, teams were 1,875-6 when leading by 15 or more points in the final five minutes of regulation over the past 20 seasons. The last team to overcome such a deficit was the New Orleans Saints against Washington in 2017.

Understand: Anything the Falcons did on the onside kick – diving for the ball, batting it out of bounds, kicking it between the goalposts – would have been better than what they did. Which was NOTHING. They LET IT GO the 10 yards the Cowboys NEEDED IT TO GO. They aided and abetted their opponent

Asked what he was thinking on the onside kick, linebacker Deion Jones said: “Get on the ball. Onside kick, slow roll. Got to fall on the ball. Got to finish what we started.”

Yep, yep and yep. The Falcons did none of the above. Five of them – five! – stood and admired the ball as it was creeping along. Had they forgotten they could recover it before the fateful 10 yards? “They definitely know (the rule),” Quinn said, but there the four were, bent over as if inspecting a frog in the backyard, Hayden Hurst and the great Julio among them.

“We played our ass off,” Julio said, and they did. And they lost 40-39.

J. Jones again: “We’ve got to learn from it. Got to attack that ball.”

But that’s the thing: They KNEW what to do. They just didn’t do it. The only way to lose was the way they lost it.
