It would’ve been uncharacteristic of Dak Prescott to complain in this situation. But the schedule-makers did the Dallas Cowboys no favors to open the season.Of Dallas’ first seven games, only two are at AT&T Stadium. Of the other five, three are against teams that made the playoffs last season. Another is against the Baltimore Ravens, a Super Bowl favorite heading into this season.That might not seem like a big deal to some, but for the Cowboys to get back to the playoffs for the first time in three years, they probably need to get off to a hot start.In Prescott’s 10 seasons as Dallas’ franchise quarterback, the Cowboys have made the playoffs five times. Here’s how they’ve performed in their first seven games in those seasons:YEARW-LWINSLOSSES20166-1WSH, CHI, SF, CIN, GB, PHINYG20183-4NYG, DET, JAXCAR, SEA, HOU, WAS20216-1LAC, PHI, CAR, NYG, NE, MINTB20225-2CIN, NYG, WAS, LAR, DETTB, PHI20235-2NYG, NYJ, NE, LAC, LARARI, SFWhat does Prescott immediately look for when he gets the schedule?“The first three games, honestly,” he said. “After that, I couldn’t tell you much more. I mean, I know who we’re playing Thanksgiving, and some (games) here or there, but to me, it’s the first three games. I want to know (the season) opener, first home game, and then it just happens that we’re going to Rio in the third game. But honestly, every year, I probably couldn’t tell you who our fourth opponent is until Week 2. Just keeping it simple.”After traveling to New Jersey for a Sunday night season opener with the New York Giants, the Cowboys return home to host the Washington Commanders. The following week, they’ll take a 10-hour flight to Rio de Janeiro to face the Ravens.
