Dallas Cowboys must reclaim road warrior mentality
https://thelandryhat.com/2018/10/18/dallas-cowboys-road-warrior-mentality/

...Losing Sunday would bounce 3-4 Dallas 1.5 games behind Washington for first place in the NFC East. They would also flop to a game below .500 heading into the break.

Furthermore, it’s worth noting that no Cowboys playoff team this century has lost more than four regular season road contests.

2003: 10-6 overall, 4-4 road
2006: 9-7 overall , 5-3 road
2007: 13-3 overall , 7-1 road
2009: 11-5 overall, 5-3 road
2014: 12-4 overall, 8-0 road
2016: 13-3 overall, 6-2 road

If Dallas moves to 0-4 on the road after Sunday, the above trend says they’d need to win all four of their remaining road games to make the playoffs. That unlikely feat would include road wins against the defending world champion Eagles and 2017 divisional round playoff participant Atlanta. Good luck with that. However, a victory Sunday would shake the Cowboys 2018 road jinx and let them stroll into the bye week feeling confident about future away battles.

Dak's Cowboys do well on the road vs. NFC East. Win at home, and win in your division leads to playoffs.

These are exactly the games Garrett knows how to lose. Big chance to not dig a hole.

I envision winning the toss and electing to receive. Then we go totally conservative, with no Dak running. We don't play tight man coverage, especially at the end of the half/game. Decisions will be made with the intent to be conservative and not lose.

Please, please be wrong, and I will eat crow for the two weeks following. But Red has been down this road before.
