Dallas Cowboys 2017 Schedule




                                   

                                         Dallas Cowboys 2017
                                                   Schedule


September 10th-  New York Giants @ Dallas
      This will mark the fifth time in six years that Dallas has opened the season against the Giants.


September 17th- Dallas @ Denver Broncos
   If you count only the regular season games, Dallas is winless in 25 years at the Mile High City. This will be their first game there since 2008.


September 25th- Dallas @ Arizona Cardinals
  You have to go back to 2006 to find Dallas' last win at Tempe. It was the first win for a young quarterback named Tony Romo. He won't be on the team this year.


October 1st-  Los Angeles Rams @ Dallas
   This will be the first L.A. team to visit Dallas in the regular season since 1992. The Rams are still in a rebuilding mode and with their poor home attendance, maybe wishing they had stayed in Saint Louis.


October 8th-  Green Bay Packers @ Dallas
    Definitely a grudge game here with Aaron Rogers and the Pack. Green Bay has eliminated the Cowboys from the playoffs twice in the last three years.... Ugh!


October 22nd-  Dallas @ San Francisco 49'ers
  After a bye week, the Cowboys travel to the Bay Area to take on the Niners. This is the site of Zeke Elliott's first one-hundred yard rushing game in 2016, a feat he duplicated seven times to set a new Dallas rushing record for rookies.


October 29th-  Dallas @ Washington Redskins
   A return to Washington, site of Dak Prescott's first career win after replacing Romo in 2016. The Cowboys have won six of their last eight trips to D.C.


November 5th-  Kansas City Chiefs @ Dallas
   Indians for the second straight week as KC comes to town. This will be the first Dallas game broadcast by CBS with Tony Romo in the booth instead of on the field.. Got to be an emotional game.


November 12th-  Dallas @ Atlanta Falcons
   This will mark the first time Dallas will play in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta. Maybe the Interstate 85 and Interstate 20 problems will be solved by then.


November 19th-  Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas
   Lots of new names on the Eagles roster, but it's the same old rivalry. A national TV audience will be watching this one.


November 23rd-   San Diego Chargers @ Dallas
   Happy Thanksgiving !  This will mark the 50th time the Cowboys play on Thanksgiving Day,..but it will be a first for the Chargers. Phillip Rivers still the QB in San Diego.


November 30th-   Washington Redskins @ Dallas
  Back to back Thursday games for Dallas. These NFC rivals will be at the top of their games for this one. Unfortunately, only one can win the division championship.


December 10th-  Dallas @ New York Giants
   Never a dull moment when these two meet. Former Coach Tom Landry loved this game since he was a former player and coach for the Giants before coaching Dallas for 29 years. Look for all out passing battle between Dak and Eli.


December 17th-  Dallas @ Oakland Raiders
   It has been 22 years since Dallas has won a game in Oakland. All the way back to when number 21 was worn by Deion Sanders instead of Zeke Elliott. This should be a shootout.


December 24th-  Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas
   This game will mark only the tenth time Seattle has visited Dallas, and the Cowboys are 6-3 in that time...but the Hawks put a 13-12 loss on Dallas in their last meeting. 

December 31st-     Dallas @ Philadelphia Eagles
   New Year's Eve battle in the City of Brotherly Love ! Cowboys had won four straight times in Philly before last year's meaningless game. This one should mean a lot more, and determine who goes on to the playoffs.
