On Sunday evening, the Dallas Cowboys will open their NFL season against the Los Angeles Rams. The two teams will play for 60 minutes of game time, presumably scoring touchdowns and/or field goals. Rams quarterback Jared Goff will try to justify his monster contract, while Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott will try to play his way into one. There will be passes and runs, there will be tackles, and barring a tie, someone will win and someone will lose.
I lay out all these obvious facts to remind you that this weekend’s NFL games will not be three straight hours of protesting.
