As rough as the first four weeks of the 2024 season have been for the Dallas Cowboys, they still find themselves at 2-2 and in the middle of the pack for playoff consideration.

Two key NFC teams are on a bye this week; the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions. The early break comes at a good time for the 2-2 Eagles, who are struggling on the field and dealing with a lot of negative media attention.
