NFL Schedule-Maker Admits Different Treatment for Cowboys

FRISCO – It is a Quarterback League.

So when the NFL schedule-maker labors to determine the 2022 matchups – the who’s who a part of it – he admits to “all the time taking a look at” the place to put the marquee QBs with a purpose to give the viewer (and the league’s coffers) probably the most bang for the buck.

However there’s something extra that goes on behind closed doorways, at revealed not too long ago by the league VP accountable for such issues.

The “all the time taking a look at” idea additionally, when it comes to his top-of-mind point out, additionally consists of your Dallas Cowboys.

“One of many first issues we checked out was, the place are we going to play?” Onnie Bose mentioned throughout a convention name. “You’re all the time taking a look at, ‘The place’s Aaron Rodgers? Tom Brady? The Dallas Cowboys?”

Bose when on to notice, “And this yr, it’s ‘The place’s Joe Burrow, the place’s Josh Allen gonna play?” 

The thought of “the place to put” the Packers’ Rodgers and the Bucs’ Brady? That is an annual occasion. The inclusion of the Bengals’ Burrow and the Payments’ Allen? That represents a brand new motion. And so does Bose’s point out of different spotlight matchup closely thought of by the 2022 schedule-makers.

“I feel we talked about this slightly bit, proper, that the Rams have nice opponents,” Bose mentioned. “It might have been the Broncos, it might have been the 49ers in a championship sport rematch, it might have been the Cowboys.”

Ah, sure. The Cowboys. Once more.

“Rams vs.” the Broncos or the Niners? That is a this-year factor and a nod to Los Angeles having received the Tremendous Bowl. However Bose, in his media dialog, twice brings up the Dallas Cowboys.

As soon as as a result of the Cowboys are on the Rams schedule.

And once more as a result of the Cowboys are the Cowboys.

In the long run, the NFL schedule options the Cowboys opening at open towards Brady’s Bucs – and now that you simply hear Bose’s remarks, you acknowledge how purposeful that’s. In the meantime, the Cowboys have 5 prime-time video games. That no accident, both.

However Bose’s level right here, concerning the thought of “marquee matchups,” is about Dallas being transcendent. QBs akin to Russell Wilson (now in Denver) and Matthew Stafford (of the Rams) and Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) and Lamar Jackson (Ravens) and others are a part of the schedule-maker’s equation.

And Bose mentions loads of these people on this “Quarterback League.”

However he actually mentions just one group as “deserving” of being an annual centerpiece of the NFL’s “You are All the time Wanting At” method.

And it is not the Tremendous Bowl champs. And it is not the QBs, as they arrive and go. It is proprietor Jerry Jones’ $10 billon price of “Unhealthy Information ‘Boys.” This yr. Yearly. Transcendent not as perennial Tremendous Bowl champs, clearly, however transcendent nonetheless, in a method that forces this “Quarterback League” into additionally present as “The Dallas Cowboys League.”
