News: USAToday: 2020 Cowboys schedule: Dallas has 5 primetime games

[NewsBot]

The Dallas Cowboys have known the 13 teams they will face for the 2020 season for some time, now they know the order. The NFL released the full 17-week, 16-game schedule for all 32 teams. Normally the schedule release means fans near and far will start to make their plans on which games they will attend, but not so much in 2020.

Now all eyes will focus on deciphering how the league scheduled around the real possibility not every game will be played and that some stadiums will not be ready, or allowed to open. The official schedule is now out and Dallas has an interesting mix of opponents. The schedule features a maximum of five primetime games, as America’s Team always brings in maximum ratings for whatever network carries their games.

Three games will be on Sunday Night football, one on Monday night football and their new tradition of playing the Thursday after Thanksgiving will have all eyes oin them.

Dallas opens up with the Los Angeles Rams on September 13 at 7:20 p.m. CT. The Sunday Night football matchup will potentially be the christening of the Rams new SoFi Stadium.

Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones was instrumental in getting the Rams back to L.A. and getting the new stadium. Dallas christened their return to California in the preseason back in 2016 and now they will be the first team to write on the visitor’s locker room walls in the new digs. Provided of course California lets the game happen in their state and the construction is finished.

The Cowboys face off against the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 15 on SNF. Dallas gets their first shot to dethrone NFC East champion Philadelphia in Week 8, and then they’ll rematch against the Eagles in Week 16.

When it’s all said and done, we’ll track the complete slate for the defending NFC East champion Cowboys.
