Gosselin: Don't expect Cowboys to close the gap against Giants, Eagles next season | Dallas Cowboys News - Sports News for Dallas, Texas - SportsDayDFW
NY Giants. They're the Super Bowl champions. Cowboys play them twice per season. Will the Cowboys be able to compete with the Giants in 2012?
Rick Gosselin: I'd keep the Giants and Eagles both ahead of the Cowboys again in 2012.
