The Fox Sports love affair with the Dallas Cowboys continues this week, as the team that was 7-10 last year and has not advanced to a conference championship game in 30 years goes on the road to play a team that went 5-12 in 2024, has had one winning season since 2012, and one conference championship in the last 40 years.
As a byproduct the best game of the week, a 2024 playoff rematch pitting last year's super bowl champion vs the 2021 SB champions gets relegated to the early time slot. It's like booking Led Zeppelin to be the warmup band for Jefferson Starship.
Starting QBs that are out:
Joe Burrow out, Jake Browning in for Cincinnati (at Minnesota)
J.J. McCarthy out, Carson Wentz in for Minnesota (vs Cincinnati)
Jayden Daniels out, Marcus Mariota in for Washington (vs Las Vegas)
Brock Purdy out, Mac Jones in for San Francisco (vs Arizona)
Justin Fields out, Tyrod Taylor in for the Jete (at Tampa)
