After finishing 12-5, earning second place in the NFC East and advancing to the NFC divisional round, the Cowboys have their work cut out for them. With a 0.549 opponent win percentage based on 2022 results, Dallas is tied with the Giants and Patriots for the third-most difficult schedule in 2023.
With away games against the likes of San Diego, Buffalo, San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia and Miami, the Cowboys will face six playoff teams on the road. Repeating a 12-win season for a third consecutive time will be no small task but after a successful offseason which reloaded the roster and churned the coaching staff, expectations are high.
Not all games are created equal and some match-ups standout out as the biggest of the 2023 season for the Cowboys.
