Dallas had a golden opportunity this week to put a lot of
pressure on the rest of the NFC East and to show that the division isn’t
completely void of talent.
Personally, I feel that they accomplished that by being
competitive against a San Diego team that is probably being underrated by too
many expert NFL analysts. Tony Romo has thrown 8 touchdown passes versus just
one interceptions through a quarter of the season and the team has a running
game that is not only complimenting him but is keeping the pressure off the
often overwhelmed quarterback.
Unfortunately, they didn’t fully take advantage of their opportunity. With a, just being
honest here, likely loss to Denver next week, Dallas will be in a spot where a
loss to Washington in Week 6 would put the previously 0-3 Redskins in the
drivers seat of the division.
For San Diego, they’re trying to make it a 3-way race in the
AFC West, though early season losses to Houston and Tennessee are going to make
it tough. Denver is the unmatched class of the AFC through the first four games
and Kansas City is also sitting pretty at 4-0. But Philip Rivers is definitely
looking much more like his 2010 self than the version we saw in 2011 and 2012.
Final Score:
Dallas Cowboys – 21
San Diego Chargers – 30
