With their Week 6 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Cowboys fell to third in the NFC East. They’re limping into the bye week, both with health issues across the roster and from their cringe-worthy performances. What’s worse, Dallas may have to watch the Commanders and Eagles pick up some more wins while they rest.
As miserable as Cowboys Nation feels right now, the face value of Dallas’ situation could be worse. After this week they’ll still be 3-3 and within striking distance of the division leaders. At worst, they’ll be just 2.5 games behind Washington and still have two to play against them and Philly.
