It is perhaps that the Cowboys are almost always in their home (white)
uniforms that they lose in the dark blues uniforms.

I can't help thinking that in the pocket, at crunch time, the

looking to cover someone in a dark jersey and that split second of
hesitiation or uncertainty causes an interception or a missed coverage
