The next four games in the Cowboys’ schedule will serve as a litmus test for their performance, with matchups against the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, and Philadelphia Eagles looming. Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo underscores the gravity of the situation, “The Cowboys’ whole goal this year should be, ‘I don’t want to be dealing with no home playoff games, and I don’t want to be dealing with San Francisco and Dallas back-to-back.”

Mad Dog added, “San Francisco and Philadelphia back-to-back in the playoffs.’ The only way that occurs is if they win the NFC East,” emphasizing the importance of securing a top seed in the NFC to avoid treacherous back-to-back playoff games against San Francisco and Philadelphia.
