On Sunday at 3:25 p.m. CT, the collective gasp of air heard just before kickoff will provide evidence of how closely Dallas Cowboys fans will be watching this game.
Cowboys fans desperately want to believe the sleeping giant has awoken. But the grim reality is their newfound hopes have been tossed in the trash one too many times by the Jason Garrett regime.
Over his first three seasons as full-time Cowboys head coach, Garrett’s team faced a win-and-in situation for the division title. They flopped on each occasion. Few Dallas fans will forget the 22-20 burning defeat at the hands of these very Eagles in 2013.
