The loss to the Panthers was a back-breaking one for the Dallas Cowboys. With a chance to go over .500 for the first time all season, they let a golden opportunity slip through their fingers against a vulnerable team. And with a very difficult late-season schedule looming, this was a loss Dallas couldn’t afford.
But thanks to losses by the Eagles and the Commanders, the Cowboys still find themselves in the hunt in the NFC East going into Week 7. They are just one loss behind the Eagles, and with a meeting this week against the Commanders, the Cowboys still have a shot to steal this division.
