Things are just warming up between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Football Team.
Prior to Sunday’s NFC East matchup at FedEx Field, the Cowboys pulled off an unprecedented move and rented benches with the team’s logo on it to display on their sideline as the visiting team.
According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, the Cowboys wanted their own heated benches after the Seattle Seahawks tipped them off that the heated benches kept going out when they played Washington on Nov. 30.
AT&T Stadium does not have heated benches, so the Cowboys partnered with Dragon Seats out of Cleveland and had the benches shipped to DC.
Temperatures are expected to be in the mid- to high-40s during the game, which could have significant divisional consequences.

Washington entered Sunday just two games behind Dallas and a win would bring them within one game of the top of the division with four games left to play, including another matchup with the Cowboys in Week 16.
A Dallas win would give them a rather comfortable three game division lead with four games remaining, making it unlikely for Washington to catch them.
Earlier in the week, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy even guaranteed a win for the Cowboys.
Win or lose, at least the Cowboys will be warm.
