2012 Dallas Cowboys Schedule Tag

I Hope everyone managed to stay cool this week as temps soared over 100 degrees in many parts of the country.  The beginning of July unfortunately brings in scorching temperatures but we also inch just a little bit closer to the amazing spectacle known as the NFL season.  In just 2 short months the 2012-13 NFL campaign kicks off for the first time.

The season begins with a bang this year as the Dallas Cowboys take on the New York Giants in East Rutherford, NJ.  This strangely placed Wednesday night game will be the first regular season affair for any NFL team and it is the only game scheduled for opening night.  For the Cowboys, this game couldn't come any sooner.

In the final game of the 2011-12 regular season the Cowboys were in control of their own destiny and simply needed to beat the Giants to move on to post-season play.  The Cowboys failed to score any first half points and went on to lose 31-14.  The win for the Giants put them in the playoffs while Dallas got to sit back and watch their division rival climb to the top of Mt. NFL and hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy for the second time in 5 years.
