Prior to the start of the season, the Dallas Cowboys were one of the favorites to win the NFC and make a trip to the Super Bowl. Things change quickly in the NFL. After five weeks, Dallas is just 2-3 and in third place in the NFC East. It is one of just five teams in the conference with a negative point differential.
Some fans and casual observers may assume the Cowboys are primed to turn this season around coming out of their Week 6 bye. After all, this is a talented roster with blue chip players on both sides of the ball.
