Dallas Cowboys

Why does Michael Strahan think Sunday’s game against Dolphins is huge for the Cowboys?

FOX Sports analyst Michael Strahan said that Sunday’s game is critical for the Dallas Cowboys.

Why? Sure, it’s because they are facing a very good 10-4 Miami Dolphins team.

But it’s more important because the game is on the road, where the Cowboys have struggled this season. They’ve lost by wide margins on the road to San Francisco, Philadelphia, Arizona and Buffalo., including a 31-10 loss to the Bills a week ago.

“Huge,” the NFL Hall of Famer said Sunday on the FOX NFL pregame show. “II think this is a big game for Dallas in my opinion because Dallas, that whole thing that they cannot win against a good team on the road has stuck with them. The way it is going now, they are going to have to go on the road to get to the Super Bowl. This is like getting over the hump for them.”

The Cowboys (10-4) are battling the Philadelphia Eagles (10-4) for the NFC East division title and a first-round home game in the upcoming playoffs.

The game will be broadcast at 3:25 p.m. on FOX.
