Last week I wrote the Dallas Cowboys desperately needed a win, though defeating Seattle was not mandatory.
Those words proved true with the Giants losing to the Saints. The Eagles and Redskins were sidelined on their bye week.
Dallas narrowly missed adding their first Romo-less win, yet no other team in the NFC East added a victory either.
This weekend is the polar opposite of the Seattle situation. Sunday’s divisional clash with Philadelphia is as “must win” as they come.
Either Dallas captures their first win without Tony Romo on Sunday, or they’ll hand him over a team with little to no margin for error.
