PATS-COLTS LITE COMING NEXT MONTH
As the football world prepares for what could be the biggest game in NFL regular-season history, there's another game on the horizon that merits keeping our collective eyes on.
On November 29, the Packers and the Cowboys will get together in Texas Stadium for a Thursday night contest. Both teams currently are 6-1. Both could be 10-1 by the time Week Thirteen rolls around.
If that happens, it could be the biggest regular-season game in the NFC since Niners-Giants in 1990.
And it will likely have significant postseason ramifications. For the Cowboys, they likely will need to keep winning to stay ahead of the Giants in the NFC East. For the Packers, there's a real possibility of bending the road to Glendale through Lambeau, especially since they already hold the tiebreaker with New York.
Sure, either team would be a 20-point underdog in a Super Bowl against the Patriots. But that would only make the win all the much sweeter if/when the Cowboys or the Packers somehow shock the world in February.
But only one of them can make it there. And only fans with access to the local broadcasts of the game in the Dallas and Green Bay markets will be able to see this one.
Unless, of course, they have NFL Network.
The solution for the rest of you who don't have NFL Network? Get NFL Network. Before November 29.
And if your cable company still doesn't carry it, make yourself heard. Find out how by clicking the NFLN ad in the left margin of this page.
