If the Cowboys (6-3) beat the Cardinals (5- 4), they will hold a two-game lead with six to play. Arizona actually would need to be three games better than Dallas the rest of the way to win the NFC East because the Cowboys would have the edge in all tiebreakers. “This is a great chance for us to create sepa ration in our division race,” defensive tackle Chad Hennings said Wednesday. A loss would not devastate Dallas’ playoff chances, but it would break up a lot of momentum. The Cowboys are seeking their first three- game winning streak since 1996, and a victory would be their fifth in six weeks. That would put them closer to the big streak coach Chan Gailey repeatedly says a team must have in or der to be championship material. “This is the biggest challenge we’ve had this year,” Gailey said. “No doubt about it.” The Cowboys beat the Cardinals 38-10 in the season opener, extending their dominance in the series to 15 victories in 16 meetings. The lone Arizona victory in that span came the last time the teams met in Sun Devil Stadium, when the Cardinals rallied from a 22-7 deficit to win 25-22 in overtime last September. Some fans cel ebrated by tearing down the goal posts, some thing usually seen only at college games. “It was a big win for them,” safety Darren Woodson said. “And a hard loss for us.” “That is a motivation for us,” Hennings said. “We realize we can’t let that happen again. When we have opportunities, we’ve got to take advantage of them.” The desert has been the site of close games in this series since the Cardinals moved there in 1988. Of the 10 games in Sun Devil Stadi um, eight have been decided by eight points or less. Seven points have decided the last two games. Another interesting aspect of O dinals games in Arizona has been There has always been more than 64,ffij but the majority usually root for Dallas, “It’s almost like a home-field advam Hennings said. The Cowboys could be in foraskxl time, though, because the Cardinalsai;l ing their best season since 1988, wht;l opened the year 7-4 before losing thcl five games. “This week, I expect a lot morerel white and very little blue,” said runnil Emmitt Smith. This will be the Cowboys’ third straigliil against a division foe since their bye weeJ won the first two over Philadelphia 3k| York, upping their record against Easttei 5-0.
