Before Sunday's game in Indianapolis, the Cowboys had not lost a game since their 28-14 loss to the Titans on November 5th.
So quarterback Dak Prescott said the 23-0 shutout by the Colts was a wake-up call.
"It was a very embarrassing performance on our part," said halfback Ezekiel Elliott.
But by the time the Cowboys followed their defeat against the Titans with five straight wins, could the franchise's first bleaching defeat in 15 years be the team's next launch?
"I think such a loss was really necessary," said Elliott. "I think it's better for us in the big scheme of the season. I think we had to be defeated, we needed a reality check and we needed someone to remind us that we still have a lot of ball left.
"Nothing will be given."
Elliott rejected the apology. Of course, missing right-hander Zack Martin - the first game Martin missed in high school, college, or the NFL - makes all the difference. Left-hand guard Xavier Su'a-Filo was taken to the hospital after being injured in plain sight.
But when told about Martin's absence, Elliott said, "We have enough talent to beat this team. We just went out and played piss.
Elliott was one of the few Cowboys to have been productive in this loss. The league leader defeated the Cowboys with 87 yards on 18 carries and captured seven receptions at the top of the team on eight goals for 41 more yards. The Cowboys compiled 292 yards of offense but never scored. Dallas scored a 0 on 2 in the red zone and was blocked by Brett Maher.
The Cowboys' third-ranked offensive defense left 178 yards, 91.2 more than the team's average, to a Colts team that had won 91 combined in its last two games. The rushed Dallas race failed to register a bag for the first time this season.
The message from the locker room was clear, said Prescott. Maybe the Cowboys were - in the words of the quarterback - "too hot to trot?
Prescott said, "We all got together to say," Hey, in a way, we needed that. "
The Cowboys, at 8-6, are still at the top of the NFC East. But with the Redskins beating the Jaguars 16-13, Dallas can not lock its division title or playoff spot this week.
The Cowboys' attention is now turning to a solid finish against Tampa Bay and the Giants. This loss offers "a lot to learn," Prescott said. "When you have a team like this, I do not think" demoralize "is in our dictionary."
Still, zero points, a Elliott fumble three meters from the end zone and an interception of Prescott twenty-six meters from home are among the memories that leave a bitter taste.
"The way we did not give ourselves a chance pissed me off," said Prescott. "Piss everyone."
It's time for the Cowboys to "take our drugs," said Elliott.
"It's not the Dallas Cowboys 2018. That's not what we are. "
