Well again, I think this was more about the Vikings and the naysayers than the Cowboys. They were being told all week how the Cowboys were on such a roll and how Romo had this so called monkey off his back and how he can relax now blah, blah, blah. And like Childress said, they were just fed up by Tuesday. So I think they just wanted to shove it down everyone's collective throats, not just Dallas'.

If this weekend proves anything, it goes to show that you have to play the game. Everything is earned this time of the year and nothing can be taken for granted.

The Chargers made a ton of mental mistakes today. Antonio Gates had a few easy ones dropped, Philip Rivers wasn't crisp at all, Vincent Jackson kicking the flag, three missed FGs by an All-Pro kicker, the head-butt down in the red zone. It was a meltdown; That's coaching if you ask me. LT looked totally deflated during his presser. I think he just wants to move on at this point in his career. I thought it was very telling that he responded to a reporter and said, look, this isn't the first time this has happened to us this late in the season.
