Cowboys at Football Team: Why Sunday’s matchup will dictate how the rest of the Cowboys’ season plays out

On Sunday, the 2021 Dallas Cowboys are about to hit a fork in the road. After snapping a two-game losing streak with a 27-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday, Dallas heads into their biggest matchup of the season this week as they take on the Washington Football Team.

Washington comes into this game red hot, winners of four straight and playing by far their best football of the season. The much-maligned Football Team defense has made a complete turnaround. Washington’s defense has held three of their last four opponents under 20 points, including allowing just 15 points a game in their last two victories over the Seahawks and Raiders.
