IRVING, Texas -- For not playing a game, the Dallas Cowboys could not have had a better Sunday.
While they were sitting at home, their NFC East rivals suffered stinging losses. Being 2-2 doesn't look so bad.
The Philadelphia Eagles , the preseason favorites to win the division and so-called dream team, continued their nightmare with a defeat at the Buffalo Bills to fall to 1-4 on the season. The New York Giants lost to the Seattle Seahawks at home, falling to 3-2.
Of course, the Eagles' and Giants' losses might also make the Cowboys' defeats to the New York Jets and the Detroit Lions even more painful because the Cowboys could be in a much better situation heading up to face the New England Patriots next week.
