The Redskins really knocked the Cowboys off their horse last week. And that being said, I have never seen a player act more greedy than Tony Romo did last week. I understand he’s a competitor, but it’s really more important to be a team player. He shouldn’t have forced himself back in that game last week and handed over a victory to the Redskins. I’m not saying that they would’ve won the game if Weeden had stayed in, but they sure as hell weren’t winning that game with Romo returning. The Skins ate him alive. But back to this matchup, I don’t think Romo should be starting this week either. If he does, the Cowboys will lose again. They probably won’t win with Weeden either, but they are not winning with Romo this week. Honestly this might be the official start to the Cowboys second half failure to 8-8 for the 100th season in a row.
The Cardinals on the other hand are one of the NFL’s hottest teams. They have done nothing but win. It hasn’t always been pretty, but they are still sitting at 6-1 (their best start since 1756). Carson Palmer has finally found a way to not throw interceptions and he will need to keep it up this week while facing a surprisingly tough Dallas defense. The Cowboys strong suit this season has been the dominance of DeMarco Murray. Fortunately for the Cardinals, they have one of the best run defenses in the league. Let the Dallas losing streak officially begin.
CARDINALS 24 – COWBOYS 20
FANTASY BEAST – ANDRE ELLINGTON
