The Dallas Cowboys’ hopes of winning the NFC East are fading quickly, but they will have an opportunity to remain in the mix in their division if they can take care of business on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Cowboys (3-9) have a short turnaround this week, as their last game was on Tuesday against another AFC North team in the Baltimore Ravens. The Cowboys lost 34-17, but two of their “big three” wide receivers were able to reach pay dirt, including Amari Cooper, who scored in the fourth quarter to make the score a little bit more respectable.
The Bengals (2-9-1) had an underwhelming performance last week in a 19-7 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The game was supposed to feature QB Joe Burrow squaring off against Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa -- the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft against the No. 5 pick -- but instead it was Brandon Allen under center for Cincinnati. He did find WR Tyler Boyd wide open early in the game to give the Bengals and early advantage.
