The game tonight against the Los Angeles Chargers was already seen as a turning point for the Dallas Cowboys. Getting to 4-2 rather than falling to 3-3 makes a huge difference in the quest to make the playoffs. It was looking like the division rival Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers, who beat up on Dallas a week ago, were about to run off with the NFC.
But, as someone once said, there is a reason they play the games. On Sunday, both the Eagles and 49ers unexpectedly lost their first game of the season.
