The 2021 preseason has ended, and the Dallas Cowboys did not win a single game. Going 0-4 in games that don’t count isn’t the worst thing in the world. Hell, it might actually be a good sign.

You done messed up, Urban
The Jaguars are not going to compete for a Super Bowl this year. They are not going to compete for a division title. They are not going to compete for a playoff spot.
