How Both Teams Got Here
Both lost in Week 1 and both lost by one score. Washington fell 24-22 at Philadelphia, a two point road loss to the reigning division favorite. Dallas lost 28-20 at the Giants on Sunday night.
That puts both at 0-1 in a division where Philadelphia and the Giants already have wins, which raises the stakes on a Week 2 game considerably. The loser is 0-2 with two division losses on the board.
What to Watch
Division math this early is usually overstated, but not here. Washington losing to Philadelphia and Dallas losing to the Giants means both teams are already chasing, and a second conference loss in September is genuinely expensive in a tiebreaker sense.
The broadcast slot matters too. America’s Game of the Week means the largest audience of the afternoon, and both of these teams play differently when the whole country is watching.
