A must-win game for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2? Perhaps.
After losing to the New York Giants on the road in the opener, the Cowboys can’t afford to fall to 0-2 when they host the Washington Commanders at 3:25 p.m. Sunday at AT&T Stadium — especially with games vs. the Baltimore Ravens in Rio and at the Houston Texans up next.
The Commanders will likewise be looking to avoid an 0-2 start after losing 24-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1.
Here’s how to watch Sunday’s critical game:
