That depends ...CBS released a graphic Tuesday of the strength of schedule based on opponent 2021 win percentage for all 32 teams. Can Dallas benefit by playing in the "NFC Least Jacob Harris Jersey ," and then repeat as division champs, a rarity in the NFC East? That's the idea, but there are pockets of this schedule that have great challenges.Dallas will face the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium next season along with the Super Bowl runner-up Cincinnati Bengals at home.Along with those two conference champs (the tough part) and the annual home-and-away meetings with the usual division suspects (the so-called easy part), Dallas is slated to face the JuJu Hughes Jersey Bears, Lions, Bucs, Colts, Texans at home and the Vikings, Jaguars, Titans and Packers on the road.
