Texas newspaper gets result of Seahawks-Cowboys game wrong

Newspapers are always giving the Cowboys a hard time. While there may be some merit to criticizing the team for three consecutive 8-8 seasons, turning their biggest win of the season into a loss is going a bit too far. 

Dallas beat the defending champion Seahawks Sunday to improve to 5-1, tied with the Eagles and Chargers for the best record in the NFL.
