2. Atlanta Falcons, Week 10

When you look at the Dallas’ remaining games on the schedule, their easiest matchup comes in Week 10 when they host the Atlanta Falcons.

Yes, the Falcons won their first game of the season this past Sunday, but it came against the Giants. So, it was not necessarily a shock, considering the game was essentially a bout of hot potato to see which team decided they wanted to actually win.

Atlanta were blown out by the Eagles in Week 1, the very team that the Cowboys destroyed on Monday night. Then in Week 2, despite some signs of a competitive game, were ultimately curb-stomped by the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If Dallas can not beat Atlanta, then do they really deserve to win the NFC East championship? Long story short, this is a must-win game for the Cowboys considering how attainable victory is for them.
