As satisfying as the 43-3 demolition of Atlanta was, the Cowboys are quickly turning the page to Kansas City. The team is firmly entrenched in it’s-just-another-game-mode, but what would a win over Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead do to the national perception of this Cowboys roster? That’s one of the intriguing storylines developing, as well as whether Tyron Smith will play- in either of the Cowboys’ two games next week- and how Dak Prescott plays as he picks up steam in the league MVP race. (He’s already up for an award for last week’s performance.)
Elsewhere in Cowboys Nation, we’re looking at the dollars and cents behind the club’s dead-money issue, picking the 30 best players on the current roster, and checking out a climb in the latest ESPN power rankings. There’s also a peek at the one game on the schedule that could have the biggest impact on the season. We’ve got a new angle (and audio) of CeeDee Lamb’s friendly-fire hit on his own quarterback, a look at what John Fassel has brought to the special teams unit, and a revelation of just how much getting the game ball meant to Dan Quinn. And could the NFL soon have… 40 teams??? That’s all ahead in News and Notes.
