IRVING, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys can finally talk about the NFC East race, now that they are back in it.

A week ago, the Cowboys lost to Atlanta and speculation centered on whether Sean Payton might replace coach Jason Garrett. On Sunday, there was a report that Mike Holmgren might be interested if Garrett was out.

Garrett spent all week deflecting the Payton questions, and owner Jerry Jones did more of the same with Holmgren on Sunday, the same day Dallas got a division win in Philadelphia. Holmgren said Monday he isn't interested as the Cowboys started to prepare for this weekend's game against Cleveland.
