ARLINGTON, Texas – Every game in the NFL can be considered “must win” week to week, but the Cowboys were in desperate need of a victory going into Sunday afternoon against the Commanders after a disappointing outing in Carolina last week.
They came through, defeating their NFC East foes 44-22 in a one-sided game. The Cowboys improved to 3-3-1 with the win and advance to second place in the division with a 2-1 record.
In a season where things don’t get easier going into the back half of the schedule, it’s crucial that the Cowboys stack up as many wins as possible if they want a shot to make the playoffs at the end of the year. There’s a long way to go, and a lot of work to do to reach that point, but Sunday was a step in the right direction.
