Cowboys Weekend Riffing: Week 8 vs Tennessee, and a Q&A

New York Times  

100 days since training camp opened in Oxnard, 93 days until Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta, and just three days until the Monday Night Football Week 9 game against Tennessee… There comes a point in every season where we are allowed to use the term “must-win game.” I believe we are there.
