For the Dallas Cowboys, it’s been a season of underachievement—no one can deny that. With a record of 3-3, the team has experienced squeaky wins and brutal defeats, like last week’s pounding against the Detroit Lions (47-9). On Sunday, the Cowboys have a golden opportunity to gain momentum against the 49ers, who are 3-4 on the year.
The Cowboys are seen as the underdog in this make-or-break game against the 49ers, and they should be. San Francisco has defeated the Cowboys each time they faced each other in the last three seasons.
For Dez Bryant, all the underdog talk is just that—talk—and he believes no one should count out Mike McCarthy’s team in Week 8 of the NFL.
