It’s strange to say this but as we enter Week 14 the Cowboys are preparing for their first matchup of the year with the Washington Football Team. This kicks off a stretch in which four of the Cowboys’ final five games are against divisional foes, including a second bout with Washington just two weeks later.
A month ago, many would have predicted this game to hold very little meaning. Dallas had just won their sixth straight game (with a backup quarterback, no less) while Washington entered their bye at 2-6 and on a four-game losing streak.
