The Dallas Cowboys are in playoff mode. They aren’t quite yet in single-elimination territory, but it’s more of a double-elimination situation. With a 4-5-1 record through 10 games, Brian Schottenheimer’s club likely can’t withstand two more losses and still make the postseason, so delaying that first loss is an imperative for his young club.
The Cowboys have wasted opportunities against upstart teams like the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers, who shockingly are competing for their division, and Dallas completed butchered their gimme-game against the Arizona Cardinals. That means they simply have to escape the three-game-in-12-day gauntlet of the Eagles, Chiefs and Lions that begins in a few hours. Even if they escape 2-1, or a miraculous 3-0, the Cowboys will need plenty of other teams to falter, leading to Cowboys Wire’s weekly rooting guide.
Here are the results the Cowboys need to see this weekend.
