It seems hard to believe, at least to us, that we are already about three quarters of the way through the season. The Dallas Cowboys sit at 9-3, tied for the second-best record in the NFC, but unfortunately trailing this week’s opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles, by a game, and with the guys in green holding the key tiebreaker as well. No matter how difficult it might be to win the NFC East, this game is still crucial from a variety of standpoints. It not only is the most significant test of the Cowboys since the first time the two teams met, a five point loss for Dallas, it starts a four game stretch that is clearly the most difficult one of the year, with the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and Detroit Lions all on the slate before what looks to be a meaningless final game at the Washington Commanders.
