The NFL will go back to the old divisions and they will lose to the St. Louis Cardinals. This is after the Cardinals move back to St Louis and the Rams move back to L.A.

Everyone goes to this, and I always wonder why.

1) They were trailing for virtually the entire game. Everyone always goes, "Well if they didn't throw the ball the whole time," always after there is a late turnover. Some of those, Dallas was in the lead at least, but this time, you're trailing with time ticking and one timeout. Don't get cute when Orton had played well all game.

2) Kyle Orton was 30/46 for 358 yards. It's not like he was pulling a Geno and was 15/40 with 120 yards or something.

3) Murray was only getting 3 yards a carry with a long of 9. It's not like he was tearing it up when he had the ball and it was obvious they should have been running it instead.

But as usual, Dallas loses the division championship game and finishes 8-8. What's new? Nothing. Makes for a better playoff game than Dallas/Saints at least. Dallas at home would have made that a different game, but doubt they'd keep it competitive with New Orleans. Hell, Philly might not even make it competitive. Either way, it's Seattle and San Francisco's conference to lose, with an outside shot by Carolina given how they played since the start. I don't put much stock in Green Bay, Philly, or New Orleans at the end of the day this season at least.

Cowboys had the answer right in front of them for this W and didn't use it.

The spirit of Romo must have permeated into Orton's body and made him throw that interception at the end.
