The Dallas Cowboys are eliminated from playoff contention, but you wouldn't be able to tell with how they've been performing. Despite facing a very capable opposing offense, the Cowboys held off the Tampa Buccaneers on Monday night to win their fourth game in the last last five weeks.
Dallas now sits with a record of 7-8 and has the 15th pick in the NFL draft. Of course, plenty of Cowboys supporters have wanted the team to tank and put themselves in a position for a high draft pick. Players can't think that way with their jobs on the line, and neither can coaches.
