Norm Hitzges is back in the chair, shaking his head like the rest of us after the Cowboys somehow let a win against the defending champs slip through their fingers—literally. From CD Lamb’s butterfingers to Dak’s near-perfect deep ball, Norm breaks down the good, the bad, and the flat-out dumb from Dallas’ showdown with the Eagles.

It’s a ride through rain delays, jaw-dropping penalties (Jalen Carter, we’re looking at you), and the maddening “what ifs” that left Cowboys fans groaning all the way home. Norm also peeks behind the curtain at how the front office is spending its shiny new pile of Micah Parsons money, and whether that trade will sting for years—or pay off sooner than we think.

This isn’t your standard Xs-and-Os recap. It’s Norm at his best: sharp, funny, and not afraid to call a dropped pass what it really is—a season-shifting gut punch.
