4 notes to digest before the Dallas Cowboys host Cardinals

1. The Hollywood in Dallas

You know, some things you just can’t script. The contest between the Giants and Cowboys was at a significant point for both franchises in 2020, despite it being the fifth game of the year. But there was more to the narrative.

Former head coach and player, Jason Garrett, was on the opposite sideline. He began his coaching duties with Dallas back in 2007, and this was his first tour back since losing his head coaching gig last season.

On top of this, Tony Romo was the color commentator for the game, which was unusual considering he works for CBS, a network that covers primarily AFC games. Of course, Romo was the premier player in Big D up until the year 2016, when a rookie named Dak Prescott intercepted the headlines.

Of all days, Dak Prescott seriously busts his ankle. It was homecoming day of sorts. A day of celebration turned sour. I mean you can’t write this stuff. Just hours before, the league was celebrating the comeback of Alex Smith in Washington. Bizarre.
