Happy Monday, Dallas Cowboys Nation. It's not quite Victory Monday, but at least the team didn't lose. Now, we are a Monday Night Football doubleheader away from the calendar to switch to Week 8.

The Washington Commanders secured a blowout win over the Carolina Panthers to continue sitting atop the NFC East, while the Philadelphia Eagles blew out the lowly New York Giants.

That leaves the Cowboys sitting in third place in the division when they return to the field against the San Francisco 49ers next week.

Indulge.
