After losing their first game since Jason Garrett was named interim head coach, it should be interesting to see whether or not the Cowboys bounce back and play with the same type of passion that they have the past three weeks. If the 'Boys hope to get back in the win column this Sunday, it won't be easy, as they must travel to Indianapolis to take on a Colts squad that's desperate for a win. Should be a good game.
Here's a few facts, figures and trends about the two teams' series history, as well as up-to-date season stats for both squads.
