Cowboys Face Tough Season Ahead

Dallas, Texas – The Cowboys are gearing up for a challenging NFL season with one of the hardest schedules in the league. As they kick off the season, the Cowboys will travel to face off against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. This matchup is set for September 4 at Lincoln Financial Field, with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.

The schedule includes tough rivals, featuring home and away games against the NFC East teams, as well as clashes with the AFC West and NFC North. Additionally, they will play against the Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, and Carolina Panthers. Early on, the Cowboys have a challenging stretch, with three of their first five games on the road, including key matches against the Eagles, Chicago Bears, and New York Jets.

There’s a lot of concern around the team’s potential performance, as some experts predict a rough start. One analyst from CBS Sports believes that the Cowboys could start the season 0-5, marking a disappointing beginning to the Schottenheimer era. With a projected finish of 6-11, such a record would be a major setback for the franchise.

As if starting the season with a losing streak isn’t tough enough, the Cowboys’ schedule features a daunting six-game stretch from Weeks 12 through 17. They will face evenly matched teams that all had 11 or more wins last year. This is an unprecedented challenge in NFL history, with games against the Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Chargers, and Washington Commanders.

The Cowboys are certainly facing big hurdles this season, and the pressure is rising as they strive to turn the season around. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this unfolds.
