In an absolute stunner, the Dallas Cowboys went to the Superdome and played what could arguably have been their best game since they defeated the undefeated Colts a few years ago. This was quite a performance by a team that absolutely had to get a win… and boy did they ever!
The Cowboys will head to the Nation’s Capital tonight where they will face a reeling Redskins team that was embarrassed by their NFC East rival New York Giants on Monday Night Football. This is one of those divisional games where Dallas should win… but one where conventional wisdom doesn’t always prevail.
Tony Romo’s play the last few weeks has been phenomenal, and if he can continue to throw ZERO interceptions in these latest December games, then that is certainly a critical part of getting to their tenth win on the season. Eli Manning and his core of wide-outs had their way with the Washington Secondary for pretty much most of that game on Monday Night, and Romo can certainly take advantage much the same way in order to build an early lead on the road.
This is not a guaranteed win, no game ever is, so the Cowboys will have to make sure they don’t look ahead to a very critical game in against another divisional opponent that could decide the NFC East Champion of this season. This is a very important game because it is on the road, in the division, and it could help Dallas clinch a playoff spot… so the Cowboys must stay focused on this week, and this week only.
I can’t say that Washington really has any strengths that present any major problems, with the lone exception being that they did come down to Texas and give the Cowboys a very difficult four quarters of football. In the end, Dallas was victorious, and this Sunday night Dallas should be able to put up big offensive numbers against a Redskins team that looked just pitiful Monday Night. The Dallas Defense should go after Campbell, early and often, so as to not let him get into any type of rhythm. This game could get ugly early, and if that is the case… let’s hope it gets ugly for the home team.
