Dallas at Washington starts ‘round-robin’ for NFC East title

Associated Press  

— Mike McCarthy and Ron Rivera are big fans of the NFL schedule-makers this season. “You have that opportunity, you control it, so you’ve got to go out and do your job.” The round-robin for the NFC East title begins with Dallas at Washington on Sunday. And we got that five weeks in a row.” Teammate Daron Payne, who played in the Iron Bowl at Alabama, said it’s a similar mentality: “It’s a got-to-have-it type game, and we definitely got to have this one.” Despite games against the Eagles and New York Giants on the horizon, McCarthy and Rivera are trying to keep the focus on Sunday. While Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who opted out of 2020, said of Washington’s domination of Dallas last year that “COVID year don’t count,” young players on the other side are benefitting from their last late-season run. “He’s geared himself up for each week, and he’s really kind of grasped that role,” Rivera said.
