Here what local NFL columnists are saying in the wake of their teams losing on Sunday:

– When it comes to December, the Cowboys of 2007 look way too much like the Cowboys of 2006, writes Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Colishaw.

– David Steele of the Baltimore Sun now realizes how low the Ravens can go when they lost to the previously winless Dolphins.

– Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press warns that the real Lions are back, meaning this season could still get a whole lot worse.

– Steve Serby of the New York Post says that Dr. Evil and his Greatriots prevailed yet again over the Jets.

– Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that the Falcons reached a new low in their wretched season with a 34-point loss to the Bucs.

– Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star writes that there’s no reasonable explanation for why the Chiefs are playing the way they are.
