Pretty good though, they played the worst game of their year so far against a completely jacked up opponent, and they only lost by 3.

Counterpoint: that opponent was the Washington Redskins. And they lost.

True, but if you look at the level of energy that Washington brought to this game in combination with the worst play calling of the year award going to the Dallas offense, and it's honestly amazing that the result was only a 3-point squeaker. It's good they lost this game to drive the mistakes made home in terms of correcting those going forward.
