Both the Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs scored strong wins in Week 1 that should leave both fan bases cautiously optimistic that their respective teams can return to the playoffs. The Cowboys earned a key win in their division race over the New York Giants, and the Chiefs spanked what appears to be a hapless Jacksonville Jaguars squad. On Sunday, the teams will face off in Kansas City in what could be one of the most hotly contested matchups of the weekend.
