Cowboys back in control of their own destiny?

If Philly loses to Washington, Dallas will be tied with TB for the final wildcard spot, and they hold the H2H vs TB. Am I missing something here? We just wrote them off last night...

Because they had the 4th best record among wild card teams with only 1 game remaining in their season. With only 2 wild card teams making the playoffs, Dallas making it in didn't seem like the most likely of scenarios to me.

Sorry, forgot about Chicago, but it looks like they would lose the tiebreaker (2 way or 3 way with TB) based on conference record.

I think if Dallas beats Philly they are in. Tampa losing gave them their destiny back. I think of Philly beats Washington the winner of Dallas/Philly goes

yep, you're right, looks like Dallas already controls their own destiny. Except Philly will need both Chicago and TB to lose 1 game to make it in also. I'm betting they both don't make it

Just glad Eagles will have nothing to play for!! Granted they can still play spoiler but hopefully most of them will mentally pack it in. I think Westbrook should sit it out!!

Phills gets a chance to knock TO and the Cowboys out of the playoffs and they don't show up? I'm not sold on that one, Philly wins by 20+

I think Philly will defnintley show up........kind of like Washington and Buffalo today. A lot of times that spoiler, nothing to lose, attitude is very very dangerous.
