After four straight losses, the Dallas Cowboys desperately need of a win. A victory is the only way to shake the heavy black cloud of failure off their aching backs.
As demoralizing as the 2-4 record looks now, that win doesn’t necessarily have to come against the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday.
When Matt Cassel was handed the quarterback reins, playoff aspirations required winning two of his four starts.
A 4-5 record would allow Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, and the improved Cowboys defense to battle for the 10 wins needed for likely postseason entry.
