Although they occasionally drive you crazy because of their flaws, these Cowboys are a special bunch for one reason: They continually find ways to win.
An onside kick recovery against Buffalo and subsequent field goal on the final play. A blocked field goal return for a touchdown against Minnesota. Four touchdowns from Terrell Owens against Washington.
An interception return touchdown by Terence Newman against the Jets. Four touchdown passes by Tony Romo against Green Bay.
The list could go on and on and on.
Understand, the Cowboys used to find new and exciting ways to lose several games a year as recently as last season. And, no, it didn't matter that Bill Parcells was their coach.
That's not a knock on Parcells, simply a fact.

Now, though, luck is on the Cowboys' side. All is right in the universe. God is, once again, looking through the hole in the roof and smiling on his beloved football team.
Whatever.
The Cowboys are 12-1 because their young talent stockpiled over the last five seasons has matured. These days – like all good teams – they find ways to win instead of lose. More important, Dallas can beat you multiple ways.

Most weeks, the offense is good enough to get the job done without much help.
On the weeks it isn't, the defense can do the job like it did in wins this season over Chicago, St. Louis, Minnesota and even Green Bay....
