There was no way Dallas could lose this week, with it being the Bye and all... but it is a bit surprising that Dallas actually won! They didn't add on to their 3-2 record, but they gained momentum in the NFC East as all three rivals lost today.
The Giants fell to New Orleans, which could have easily been predicted, but Washington losing to Kansas City and Philly being embarrassed by Oakland were both a shock. This automatically puts Dallas in a tie for 2nd place in the NFC East with the Giants still ahead by two games at 5-1 and Washington is left behind at 2-4. This upcoming week Philly will play Washington so I'll definitely be rooting for Washington to jump up to 3-4 and Philly down to 3-3. If that happens and if Dallas manages a win against Atlanta, they will claim the number 2 NFC East Spot... just like that.
As I write this, Chicago is playing Atlanta on Sunday Night Football, and Atlanta is looking pretty damn good. That's going to be Dallas' challenge next week. Luckily they will be playing at Cowboys Stadium, but even so, I'm not sure I can confidently predict a win.
