Gailey: Cowboys face toughest challenge yet against Car;* 6
' IRVING, Texas (APJ — The Dallas Cowboys
know what is at stake Sunday in Arizona: win
and virtually lock up the NFC East title; lose and
they are tied for the division lead.
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

but the majority usually root for Dallas,

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. A victory over Arizona could pave
to the first perfect record in division hisi
