After a couple of days to digest the loss, here are the two biggest reasons why the Dallas Cowboys 2018 season died Saturday night in Los Angeles.

The Dallas Cowboys 2018 season came to its fruition Saturday night with a 30-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. For the 22rd straight year, everyone involved with this organization; players, coaches, the front office and its fans, will watch the NFC Championship be played by two teams not from Dallas.

What should not really come as a surprise, given this was the sixth straight failure in the Divisional Round, still somehow feels shocking to some degree.

Maybe it’s the suddenness of something ending. Maybe it’s the fact that the Dallas Cowboys won eight of their last nine games going into Saturday. It could even be a little bit of that addicting word hope or possibly that the Cowboys owned one weapon that has been an issue for this Rams squad.

Whatever the reason, the cold hard truth is that the season is over. For some people, myself obviously included, I find it necessary to understand why we are here. Why are the Dallas Cowboys preparing for vacations and time off instead of the New Orleans Saints? Can the reasons be easily fixed or do they require a sizable overhaul?

The answers to the first question will make the second question a lot easier to figure out. Here are the two biggest reasons why the Dallas Cowboys season came to an end.
