The 2021 NFL schedule was released on Wednesday, and the Dallas Cowboys have plenty of intriguing matchups to look forward to.
They will kick off the season in the opening game on September 9 when they visit the defending Super Bowl champions, the Tamp Bay Buccaneers, on NBC. In Week 3, the Cowboys will play in front of their fans for the first time on Monday Night Football against the hated Philadelphia Eagles. A road trip to play the New England Patriots comes in Week 6, a team that’s been dominant at home for quite some time.
A potential Cowboys first-round pick visits AT&T Stadium in Week 10 when Kyle Pitts and the Atlanta Falcons roll into town. The two-time defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs, the New Orleans Saints minus Drew Brees, plus the usual NFC East battles won’t make it easy for the Cowboys this season. Now, let’s predict how they’ll finish.
