This upcoming stretch of games will help prepare the Cowboys for January.
The Cowboys aren’t a team to back down from a challenge, though. For coach Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys’ late-season gauntlet is just a chance to get ready for playoff football.
“I really do like the stretch that we’re getting ready to be on,” McCarthy told reporters. “When you look at the teams that we’re getting ready to line up against and, obviously, Philadelphia is all that matters right now — this is an excellent opportunity for us to play in playoff-type games without playoff consequences.
