The Cowboys have just finished their first tour of the division with a 2-1 record. All were home games. They get a break from their kin to play the AFC West and the rest of the conference.
What's interesting is that none of the other three teams have played each other. The Eagles, Giants and Redskins have only played Dallas. Their matchups begin in two weeks. In the meantime, Dallas needs to take care of business outside the division. If the East is as evenly matched as it appears to be, the Cowboys can gain a cushion while their rivals tear each other up.
