The Cowboys are 2.5 games back in the NFC East. Is there a historical precedent for teams coming back from such a deficit this late in the season to take their divison? Of course there is.
The Cowboys are in last place in the NFC East at 2-7. Heading into Week 11, that's the second-worst record in the NFL.
Other teams with a 2-7 record like the Ravens are six games out of first place in their division, the Lions and Chargers are five games out of the division lead in their respective divisions.
