It’s a weird time in Dallas right now. The Cowboys snapped their five-game losing streak in dramatic fashion over the Commanders and then handled the Giants on Thanksgiving to notch their first home win in nearly a full year. Suddenly, they’re 5-7 with a sterling 3-1 record in the division as they enter December, where embattled head coach Mike McCarthy has traditionally thrived.
Next up is a home game against the Bengals, who feel a lot like the Cowboys this year.
Both teams entered with high expectations, largely due to the strong chemistry between their franchise quarterback and star receiver.
