Know your history: The Cowboys-Falcons matchup

The Cowboys will try to bounce back from a season-opening loss as they return home to host the Atlanta Falcons, also coming off a loss in the first week of the season. These two teams have played each other 28 times, with 26 of those games coming in the regular season, but the first one Cowboys fans will remember is from the 2017 season.

We all remember it clearly. The Cowboys were riding a three-game win streak and sitting at 5-3 when Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension actually took effect, in addition to losing Tyron Smith to injury.
