Only three teams in the NFL had to play three road games in a row

The problem is that EVERY OTHER TEAM that plays a Thursday game gets 10 days off after it.. Only the Cowboys have to play another game 7 days after playing a game on 3 days rest. And of course their opponent. If you don't understand the physical toll that takes then I can't help you.

I understand it. But it still stands they get the 10-day break the following game.
Cowboys Franchise not complaining (at least publicly). Everyone knows they're not giving up the holiday game. Same with Detroit.
Let me propose a solution.
All 6 teams playing on Thanksgiving have a home game the Sunday before that is the earliest kickoff for their time zone = 1PM EST \ 12 NOON CST \ 2PM MST - for Denver Broncos \ 4 or 4:30 PM PST.
No late Sunday afternoon or Sunday night starts.
Those six teams will not be scheduled to play the following Thursday night.
Since 2016, the Cowboys have been scheduled to play following Thursday (either as home or away ) every year. Meanwhile the other team that annually host their Thanksgiving Day game - the Detroit Lions - never has been scheduled to play the following Thursday.
That is on Owner Jones and his FO to get that changed through the league commissioner/ office.

Why? Because your argument was flawed and now you want to use the last qb we played? Lol

How was my argument flawed?

We beat three bad QBs. Thats not even bringing up the fact that we beat the Saints without Kamara and the Commanders were missing all of their DEs and their best WR was concussed.

You homers are despicable

The Colts had to play the Titans (with Henry), Dolphins and Ravens though. The Cowboys wouldn't go 3-0 either.

What drives me crazy is it seems like the last game of the year always seems to be on the road.

Is it not possible to have the last game of the regular season at home for a change?

It's not every year but it is way more than even. 9 out of the last 12 seasons.

7-5 incoming though right?

Two of the worst games we played this season were at home. We seem more comfortable on the road. AT&T Stadium seems to inspire the opposing teams more than us. The Cowboys are only 12 games over 500 at AT&T since it opened in 2009.

There are a lot of Eagles fans around here parading around like they are Cowboys fans

And we should see them rear their heads starting tomorrow night if they beat WFT.

Since we won all three, next year they will make it four and suspend Zeke just for good measure.

The NFL had to even the schedule out because the Cowboys have such a big advantage playing at home on Thanksgiving.

Lol. That advantage was complete eliminated this season. If I'm Jerry Jones I tell the league 2 things.

The next time Sean Hochuli's team is assigned a Dallas Thanksgiving Day contest,

1) I will forfeit the game
2) I will cover game checks for both clubs rather than risk injury to my players in a fixed contest.

I’m not a homer at all. I’ve been critical of Dak and the offense the past few weeks. I’m also not going to say beating wash and New Orleans on the road when Tom couldn’t isnt a good thing.

The point is, before playing those 3 weak QBs, we got embarrassed at home against an above average QB.

You talking about the raiders game? That was the worst football game I’ve watched in my life.

Three consecutive road games.....in December.

This is when winning teams are attempting to build momentum into the playoffs.

The only time I can remember teams with three consecutive road games that late in the season is when a wildcard teams reaches the Super Bowl.

Aviano90 · Dec 20, 2021

We also won 3 straight home games earlier in the year.

Tom Brady won three road games in a row last January

Only our fandom reaches this much to seemingly “elevate” the team to make it look better than it does. No other team celebrates such lowly things suck as “3 road wins in a row! Wooo!” Like we do . Sad how low our standards have become. Whatever pleases Skeletor in the Box Suite I suppose.

And only a troll would have jumped at the chance to post what you just did. Eat it!

Only three teams in the NFL had to play three road games in a row this season: Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Dallas.

Only one of these teams won all three of those games: The Dallas Cowboys.

We have some things to clean up on offense but I am extremely happy with the season that Dallas has had so far. If someone told me Dallas would be 10-4 with a shot to get the #1 seed I would have taken that in a heartbeat. I think a lot of our problems on offense can be solved with getting Tyron back at LT. Not to downplay that stat about road games but the crowds in NY and DC sounded pretty much like a home crowd for the Cowboys.

Agree. I really don’t get it. I guess because they want to be right more than they do the team to do well. I wish this fake fans would get off cowboyzone.
