The Dallas Cowboys cannot afford a setback on Sunday.
The Philadelphia Eagles know there’s still a slim chance that they can get the NFC East Division banner with a win and a Cowboys loss, and they will spare no effort trying to beat the New York Giants.
That’s why former NFL WR Keyshawn Johnson wanted to put them on upset alert ahead of their divisional matchup vs. the Washington Commanders.

Talking on Undisputed, Johnson pointed out the fact that they have a negative record on the road and they can’t seem to play well away from home for whatever reason.
They’ve even lost to bad teams like the Arizona Cardinals, and they have a long history of shooting themselves in the foot when it matters the most.
On top of that, Johnson stated that the Commanders will also play hard because of all of their impending free agents and players looking to prove themselves.
Truth be told, he’s right on point.
The Commanders beat them at home in the season finale of last season in Sam Howell’s debut as a starter.
Howell’s future in the league is now in question, or at least with his team.
That’s more than enough motivation to ball out and try to play spoiler vs. a divisional rival.
Johnson believes the Cowboys need to approach this game as a playoff game already, as they don’t want to fall in the standings and have to play on the road throughout the course of the playoffs.
