On Dec. 8, tragedy struck the Dallas Cowboys football club when two members were involved in a car accident. Starter Josh Price-Brent was driving drunk in Texas when he crashed and killed teammate
and passenger Jerry Brown.
The team learned about the news as they were boarding their flight to Cincinnati to play the Bengals. The Cowboys won their game on Sunday Dec. 9 against the Bengals 20-19. On Tuesday Dec. 11
the team held a special memorial for Brown and in attendance was Brent. The event was confined to their organization so no outside media were allowed. Thoughts and prayers are with their organization and the families that have been affected by this tragedy.
With the Falcons looking to make a postseason berth for the second year in a row, they faced off against a Carolina Panthers team that hasn’t been having the season they desired. The Panthers ended up beating the Falcons 30-20. It was the upset of the weekend and a step in the right direction for the Panthers.
