And while Dallas can produce a greater number of capable receivers, Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen pose as many challenges as any pair of receivers the Cowboys will face. He certainly looked fine in running for 140 yards in the club’s last game before the bye. The Vikings’ offense is nearly as explosive as the Cowboys’ unit, and it would be ranked even higher if their elite running back Dalvin Cook had been healthy all season. At 3-3, Minnesota does not look like an average team. I think it applies more to one’s final record at season’s end. Just because Bill Parcells popularized that particular saying, we don’t have to take it as gospel. Meanwhile, the 3-3 Vikings might not be what their record says they are. They are the teams (along with the 6-1 Rams and the defending Super Bowl champs from Tampa Bay) that the Cowboys will chase into January in a power struggle for playoff position unlike anything we have known.īy that I mean that no one in the entire AFC has a record better than 5-2. There was some jostling for position at the top Thursday night in a game I won’t even try to explain that saw Green Bay and Arizona both leaving with 7-1 records. There are five Haves in the NFC, and your 5-1 Cowboys, with a five-game winning streak, are clearly one of them. To Have and Have Not is also the story of the NFC in 2021, and while I’d love to prolong the discussion from the first paragraph, job duties compel me to focus on its depiction of the NFL’s superior conference. To Have and Have Not is probably my favorite Humphrey Bogart film - kind of a poor man’s Casablanca, set in a similar Mediterranean World War II landscape, a slightly smaller story but with a much more engaging female lead (Lauren Bacall instead of Ingrid Bergman).
