Do you like memes? Of course you do. We all like memes. The Cowboys like memes too. They like one meme so much they tried so hard on Sunday night to make it work.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
“Distracted boyfriend” has become a staple and traded high on the meme index since it hit the internet earlier this year, and the Cowboys wanted to cash in. Apparently winning is normally with the Giants in their version of the meme, but is looking at the Cowboys — or something.
