EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Labeling a Week 4 game against a sub-.500 team as a “must-win” might sound dramatic.
But when the Dallas Cowboys took a moment to think about the misery that a flight home at 1-3 would be, the moniker didn’t feel so off-base.
This wasn’t just about the expectation that they beat the New York Giants because, well, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has done nothing but that for eight seasons and 13 straight games now.
This was about the noise that was getting louder and louder after the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens thoroughly outplayed the Cowboys in their own building.
