After starting the 2018 NFL regular season losing four of their first seven games, the Dallas Cowboys made a move to save their season during their Week Eight bye. The Cowboys sent their 2019 first-round selection to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Amari Cooper.
After Cooper’s arrival in Dallas, the Cowboys would win seven of their remaining nine regular-season contests including a five-game winning streak between Weeks 10-14. The team that started the season 3-5 transformed to win the NFC East with a record of 10-6, earning themselves a playoff berth, and securing a postseason victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
