Two of the three Thanksgiving games featured division rivals who’ll play twice in the next three weeks. In both cases, the home team lost -- and will go on the road for a rematch on December 14.
Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant is looking forward to the return date with the Eagles.
“They were being kinda cheap, that’s another story,” Bryant said after the game, via CBS Philly. “It is what it is, I’ll get it cleaned up and I’ll be fine.”
Bryant may have been referring to multiple instances of interference. Or possibly to the busted lip he had after the game. Either way, he sounds mad.
“I’m really not mad at all,” Bryant said. “They beat us and I’m going to accept that. . . . [I’m] not looking past Chicago, but I cannot wait to go up there and play [Philadelphia] again, cannot wait.”
It’s very important to not look past the Bears. If in six days the Cowboys lose at Soldier Field -- where they were blown out last December -- the regression to 8-8 will be in full gear. Lose to the Bears and then in Philly, the Cowboys will need to beat the Colts or Washington to avoid a fourth straight .500 finish.
