The Dallas Cowboys are off to a 3-1 start, meaning the team is light years ahead of the usual .500 season we’ve become accustomed to in Jerry’s World.
Dallas looked like a whirlwind of inferiority Week 1 in the loss to San Francisco, but has now reeled off three straight wins — two in dominating fashion — and once in comeback fashion. The last win came over the New Orleans Saints, a team many of us — including myself — believe will compete for the NFC South and a top-three seed in the conference despite their slow start to the year.
You can look at the Cowboys’ season as either half-empty or half-full, but here are five reasons you should start believing in America’s team.
