The Dallas Cowboys are no stranger to a national stage, and the NFL has certainly obliged Jerry Jones' 'Boys in 2012 - in addition to their Wednesday night NFL Kickoff at the Super Bowl Champion Giants, the Cowboys will have two other NBC national games on Sunday night (at Atlanta November 4, vs. Philly December 2), plus a Monday Night Football date with Chicago October 1.
