The Dallas Cowboys are considered by many to be the best challengers to the reigning NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East, a surprisingly tough division in 2022 that hasn’t had a repeat winner since 2003-04. The Cowboys and Eagles won’t meet head-to-head until Week 5 and then week 14, but just how much weight these games carry could easily be determined by how both teams get out of the gate in the first few weeks.
The Cowboys have a playoff rematch against the 49ers to look forward to in Week 5, and before then face a schedule that poses some potential early trap games.
