1. Dallas fans always show up well. Whether they are from Dallas or not (more than likely not), they show up.
2. Dallas is once again a media darling to do well, and week 1 while at home vs the Giants, they dominated. This will give Dallas fans confidence in going.
3. Redskins fans who have season tickets probably see this as a solid game to sell. 1 - buyers in Dallas fans, home opener, division game - probably best opportunity to get money back.
4. State of the team - week 1 didn't do any favors, blew another lead. A 'keeping the seat warm/competitive QB" at the helm, injury concerns again, same head coach people are upset with, etc.
